How the word kitty came t9 be ap-
plied to the bOX into which such
Money is placed takes as back to the
year 1400, The word "'kit" was used
then to signify a vessel case, basket,
or other eontainer, It also meant the
contents of a case, such as a soldier's
kit, meaning his equipment. or outfit.
The song lyric "pack up your troubles
In your old kit-bag" is an illustration
of this usage. Some authorities See-
guest that there may be some connec-
tion between "kitty" as used in,, card-
games and "ldst", an eld Seettish
word which Meant a "chest," partic-
ularly in the sense of a money box.
Musicians have long been using the
kitty principle, often exhibiting one
to get tips and refreshment money
from patrons of the places they play,
The expression "feed the kitty"
stems from both these uses of a word
that is almost 600 years old,
Here is THE GIST of the English-
man who charted the sciences and
shaped much of contemporary think-
ing, Sir Frances Bacon,
Born in 1561, Bacon died in 1626,
after a long, and eventful life.
There are countless people today
who believe that Bacon was the
author of Shakespeare's plays, and
there is a great deal of evidence to
support this view.
Bacon was a philospher and writer.
His essays, studied at our most ad-
vanced schools, are filled with short
pithy sayings which have become pop-
ular mottoes and household words.
In his philosophical , writings Bac-
on's one aim was to seek the truth,
Proposing new scientific methods for
the advancement of man's knowledge,
his writings inspired the formation
of the Royal Society, the formal lead-
er of much Elizabethean thought.
Bacon was a statesman as well as a
philospoher. Trained as a lawyer, he
took an active part in affairs of state
and rose to he Lord Chancellor of
England under Queen Elia.ibeth. Al-
though his intentions were' honest, he
was accused and convicted of accept-
ing bribes, but was later pardoned
by the king. Whether he did or did
not write the plays ascribed to Wil-
liam Shakespeare, Bacon still has a
high place in English letters, for it
was his influence that did so much
to advance contemporary man's think-
ing and way of life.
And that's THE GIST OF IT for
this time,
Jeanne Lambert's
Tea Time Talk
Today I talked to a tea taster and
watched him at his work. Did you
ever wonder what qualifications a
tea taster must have—well, here they
are! An expert tea taster,can identify
between 1,500 and 1,600 different teas
telling where the particular tea is
grown, what variety it is, at what
season of the year it w—a4plucked,
how it was processed, how much it
should cost, and how it should be
blended. All this is done by the use
of his highly discriminating senses
of taste and smell. And still there's
more than this to being a tea taster,
he must know the trend of the world
tea markets and have a keen business
sense which enables him to buy his
tea when the markets are right. It's
no wonder it takes years and years
to become an expert at this art.
Blending
Some of the characteristics which
make up a good tea are flavour and
aroma, pungency and strength and
body. Teas from any one garden may
possess many fine qualities but lack
others; rarely is the tea from any one
district a perfect "self-drinker." And
to make it even more difficult for the
tea taster, the quality from any one
garden continually varies with wea-
ther conditions and the season of
plucking. Teas, then, are blended to
produce a nice balance of the desir-
able properties, to produce a blend
at a stable price and to suit the water
and the taste of the consumer in the
district in which the tea is to be sold.
The teas which go into a blend are
carefully tasted and then a miniature
blend is produced which, in turn, is
tasted. The proportions of each tea
used are carefully noted and if the
blend proves satisfactory, the details
are sent to the warehouse where the
blend is prepared in bulk.

The .0r1Moan War, which raged
from.. 1854 to 1850, saw England and
Wane° ranged together againSt the
might of Czarist Russia.
At that time, when. the world was
bigger than it is today because of the
later. advances in transportation and
communication, the people of Canada
had very little interest in the war

two events, however, did strike the
Imagination .of Canadians and were
much discussed. One of these was the
great suffering of British seitlica in
action and the resultant work. of
Florence Nightingale who overcame
opposition, and prejudice, to establish
well-equipped hospitals staffed with
women trained in nursing.
And the Crimean War also intrig-
ued Canadian imagination because of
the. famous "Charge of the Light Bri-
gado." The leader of this ride and the
first man to roach Russian lines was
Jarnes Thomas Brudenell, the 7th
Earl of Cardigan. He was an English
major general at the time of the her-
oic engagement, which may or may
not have been a tacticalomistake.
However, the bravery of Lord Cardi-
gan and his men made him ,the hero
of the hour. It is not known how
many things were named in his hon-
or, but one thing bearing his name
that has survived is the knitted wool-
len jacket, still known as the "cardi-
gan,"
In certain .card games the "kitty"
is a pool of stakes into which each
player puts a share of his winnings.
Usually the kitty is used for some
special purpose, such as paying for
refreshments, or the expenses of the

"The Gist of It"
TA.SITINTG
And now get down to the actual
business of tea tasting. Before tasting
the dry leaves are examined for twist
and general appearance of the leaf.
To prepare a brew for tasting, the
ten taster places a quantity of tea
equal in weight to a dime—about 1110
of an ounce, in a six ounce cup.
Boiling water is poured over the
leaves and they are infused for six
minutes. The spent leaves are separ-
ated from the liquor and examined
for colour and aroma. After allowing
the brew to cool a little, the tea is
tasted, without the addition of milk
and sugar, The taster sips a little of
the liquor from a spoon with a loud
sucking noise which is caused by an
attempt to distribute the tea all over
his palate. He rolls it around in his
mouth and then spits it into a special
tea taster's spittoon. Were he to swal-
low the tea it might affect his sense
of taste, as a tea taster may taste
as many as 500 teas in one day, From
this evaluation he decides what teas
would make a satisfactory blend and
the process as explained above is fol-
lowed,
A taster's discrimination makes it
possible for him to match blends from
year to year even though some of the
teas previously used have varied in
quantity and quality. Because of this
seasonal variation, many packers use
as many as twenty-five to thirty teas
in any one blend, so that one or more
of the different teas used may be
omitted or replaced without the
change being noticable, So, thanks to
the taster's skill, we can buy our
favorite blend of tea week after week,
without fear of sudden changes in
taste or quality caused by vagaries
of climate.
