These teas are grown at high altitudes on the mountain slopes, where the tea bushes grow more slowly and are mors. carefully cultivated than in the valleys, where the climate is warm and humid, Iligh-grown tea is not .only a finer quality, but con- tains much more tea juice or extract than valley -grown tea. This can be easily proved by comparing a draw- • ing of Red Rose with any other tea. By doing so you will find that a pound of Red Rose Tea will spend as far ;as x / to 1% lbs. of other teas. . The saving is most apparent in the Blue Label and better grades—buy a pound and make the test. T. t1. iSTABROOKS, St. John, N. B. to oR ICtiES : TORONTO, WINNIPEG. 11IiAiakea In Stomps. By a simple error in the printing of a set of stamps the value is enormously Increased to collectors. A short time ago a Dutch stamp was printed yellow instead of blue. A week later these stamps were sold at a great premium. A New Zealand stamp some years ago was printed upside down, and it is now worth a large stun. Among English stamps the old red penny, with the plate No. 2555, is valued by collectors, and the small pink halfpenny, with Nate No. 9, Is not worth less than $20. It Is said that the plate of the latter was broken soon after it came into use and was never replaced; hence the value of the few stamps printed from it. It Is always a question with ama- teurs whether to buy their stamps used or unused. But it is safe on a great occasion, such as a jubilee or exposi- tion year, to buy them with the post- mark, To Work Is slouorable. There has existed and still exists to some extent a false sentiment that la- bor is degrading or belittling. The con- trary is true. An ideal condition of so- ciety can coino only when every mem- ber of it recognizes that he is bound to exrcise :whatever skin or strength or faculty he possesses to its full capac- ity not selfishly or for the sake of gain merely, but for his own happiness and development and for the benefit of all. And there sbould be no restriction on any one, either legal or social or through association, In regard to his labor or its fruits.

In the old days o1 excitement when mining stocks were on the jump and men became millionaires over one day's dabbling en incident occurred at the country residence of James C. 1' toad in Menlo when a fairly web to do farmer found himself without a Lame in the short period of ane week. The eaau's naive was Mink, and, being a first plass gardener, he readily found eui- ploynneut about the residence of the wealthy owners of mansions. Ie this way he was employed at the I+ Iood residence. Hank was loitering about the garden one Saturday evening as the proprietor, in company with a vis- itor, was leoklug over the stock. Mr. Flood, who lead just stepped out Of the hog r corrin casually remarked al y i ked to his friend that he would be willing to make a bet that "Con; would go up to 300 before Christmas!' Hank con- strued "Con" to mean Consolidated Virginia, and. taking the tip which he thought would snake him a millionaire, be disposed of his holdings of 250 acres of floe land, his stock and, in brief,. everything he had on earth except his wife and four bright little Ranks. The proceeds die iuve-:ed in ,Consolidated Virginia stock, which was then selling at $75 a share. Christmas came, but instead of "Con" going up to $300 it fell to $95The shah was a pauper. in lamenting his loss he incidentally mentioned to a friend of Flood how he lost his all. Flood, who was generous to a fault, sent for /lank and had him repeat his story, When, he learned of his chance remark about "Con going up to 300 before Christmas" be fairly shook with. laughter and explained what it meant. It was in reference to the gift of a young sow, made a present to him by Con O'Connor, who in the fun of the thing had called the pig Con. The bet alluded to the sow's increasing in weight to 300 pounds before Christmas and not to Con Virginia. Having enjoyed the joke and after joshing *ink, the noble hearted Flood bought back the ranch for Hank and recompensed him for all his losses. The originality of the joke and the knowledge of the penalty paid by an eavesdropper were Flood's reward. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Too many people have a habit of go- ing with their bristles up.

"Yes," said Mrs. Millionaire proud- ly, "we married our daughter very well, I think, We gave her a dowry of $2,000,000, and you bave no idea how many noblemen there were after her. She's now a countess." "Yes, I read it all in the papers," re- turned firs. Cheerful smilingly.

It was not long after the birds came and helped themselves before a cat appeared. Then a warning note was sounded by a bird, evidently on guafcl on the top of the piazza, where he could survey the whole scene. At his warning every bird disappeared and remained In hiding until a reassuring note was heard from the little sentry posted on the piazza roof. A Little In Doubt.

Seamen aolnetlmea seerm to forget that even the most permanent of ocean currents are occasionally driven out of their usual trach by a succession of strong winds from one direction, and the fairy tales with respect to the al- leged vagaries of the gulf stream told gio frequently only tend to show that I navigators rather too frequently re - garb that river in the ocean as not less $rally fixed in velocity and direction than if it were flowing to the sea be- tweet banks formed by the solid earth of our planet. As a matter of fact, ever since the gulf stream was first discovered about four centuries ago it was recognized by thoughtful naviga- tors that fixity of tenure did not and could not hold for that vast body of relatively warm water cushioned off from the Atlantic coast of America by the colder waters of the Labrador cur- rent urrent even as far toward the equator as Florida. Were it not for the gulf stream, or, more accurately, the east- ern extension thereof, the average air temperature in the winter would be not leas than 29 degrees below the freezing point of water on it Fahren- heit thermometer registered at the Shetland islands. As matters stand the presence of the relatively cold cur- rent from the Arctic washing aur shores, inside o1 the warmer gulf stream, closes up the harbors of New- foundland at the same time as the gulf stream extension is keeping the Nor- wegian coast clear of ice even as far to the northward as the North cape. To put it another way, St. John's, N. F„ is sometimes closed with ice even as late in the year as June, while Liverpool, which is 2 degrees farther to the north, has never been in that condition since the glacial epoch. in fact, it has been seriously sug- gested that by diverting the course of the gulf stream into the Pacific, through the narrow neck of land join- ing the two Americas, it would be quite possible to freeze ont a consid- erable portion of Europe. The cool Labrador current setting southward from the icy regions adjacent to the north pole impinges with greater veloc- ity than usual upon the northern mar- gin of the gulf stream in eertain years. Cyclonic storms traveliug up from the southward deflect it also, and conse- quently the gulf stream, although prob- ably the most permanent of all the great ocean currents, Is not invariable either in velocity or in direction. Gen- erally speaking, this ocean river in the lower latitudes of the Atlantic is driv- en westward by the prevailing easterly winds acting upon the sea surface un- til the western side of the gulf of Mex- ico is attained. `!hence it follows the Laud till an outlet is found through the strait of Florida, which, being both narrow and shallow, causes the veloe- ' ity of the current to increase. Thence it sweeps northeastward outside of the Labrador cool current hogging the coast until the banks of Newfound- land are reached. About there the gulf stream proper is said' to lose its identity as such, but the warm waters thereof are driven by the prevailing westerly winds toward the United Kingdom, Norway and even Spitzber- gen. Many irregularities are known to occur in both the direction and the velocity of the gulf stream from time to time, consequent on wind changes and variations in barometric pressure. Prior to the age of chronometers most extravagant views were put forward by navigators and others in a hurry to the effect that by the ald of an ordinary thermometer the longitude could be ac- curately determined if the shipmaster would but trouble to take a series of sea surface temperatures when in the vicinity of the gulf stream. Similarly the sea surface temperature was re- garded in about the same geographical position as an infallible giilde to the proximity of ice. Neither inference is true. High temperature indicates tropical origin and low temperature in- dicates polar origin generally speaking, but beyond this it is dangerous to pred- icate. The relatively warm water may be in a very abnormal position for the period of the year owing to natural causes, and a fail of 25 degress Fahren- heit is sometimes experienced in a short ship's length on the mingling places of the waren gulf stream and cold Labrador current on a beautifully clear day without the slightest sign of ice of any kind above the boundary line of sea and sky. Many a sailing ship, after vainly trying to reach New York, bas got badly iced up and run to the warmer waters of the gull stream to thaw out both her crew and her gear, but neither the longitude nor the pres- ence of ice can be rightly determined solely by the aid of sea surface tem- peratures. Nevertlrelees the use of the sea surface thermometer is not to be despised, because it is undoubtedly of approximate assistance In defining a ship's geographical position. The line Of separation of the two currents, the cool Labrador and the warm gulf streatn, is often noticeable either by the vivid bine of the salter gulf stream In close proximity to the green color of the fresher Labrador eurrent or by the ripple on the 'margin. It is said that a blockade runner from Wilming- ton, N. Co When chased by a Federal cruiser, managed to escape by the ob- servation of this friendly ripple.
