Borrowe is the son of Samuel Borrowe, vice resident of the Equitable Assurance ociety. Mr. Drayton is a native of Philadelphia, and is of excellent family. His wife is Augusta, third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Astor. For two months the American colonies of London and Paris have heard vague rumors of a prospective duel between Mr. Borrowe and Mr. Drayton, growing out of suspicions entertained by Dray- ton regarding Borrowe’s friendship with Mra. Drayton,which Borrowe has always deolared to be entirely platonic. Mr. Drayton endeavored to bring about a duel. Mr. Borrowe was ready enough, but his seconds, Harry Vane Milbank and Edward Fox, refused to ullow him to fight on ground that Drayton's conduct in accepting money and the fact that he had been suspicious of his wife five years before he had challenged Borrowe forfeited his right to avk for the satia- faction of a gentleman. In this decision the seconds were upheld by no lexs authorities than Aurelien Scholl ayd the Due de Morny, two of the most celebrated duelists in France. Nevertheless, Drayton has not hesitated, among his friends, to attribute Borrowe's con- duct to cowardice. Mr. Drayton has taken his children from his wife and left them with friends in Wales. Mrs. Drayton is in London, livin, fair. Her mother and father, Mr. and Mrs, Wm. Astor, aris.

People In This Country Can Buy Better | Another Phase in the Fight of the Patent | im Some ‘Tea This Year Than Hitherto. ‘THE TEA SITUATION IX CHIKA—WHAT AN AMERI- . CAN HOUSEKEEPER Pays $1 4 POUND FoR— BRWARE OF GREEN THA—GREAT TEA PLANTA- ‘TIOXS—HOW To MAKE A PERFECT CUP. Tea drinkers in this country will learn with Pleasure that the crops of tes during the past Year in Forthosa were larger and very much finer thanever before. Formosa tea is, with- out doubt, the best in the world, and Ameri- cans consume 95 per cent of it. It ie so supe- rior and popular in fact that unscrupulous dealers in Japanese, Corean, and espe- cially Indian and Ceylon teas, have been doing © big business in send- ing to the Unted States market their own goods put up in imitation of the Formosa article. ‘the new law compelling im- porters to brand exch package with the name of the place it comes from has struck a blow at the practice and bas given much satisfaction to merchants in China. Amoy, which not very long ‘ago was the greatest tea producing country in the world, has almost ceased to produce the leaf, chiefly owing to the dishonesty and rapac- ity of traders and money lenders, particularly Europeans. ‘The tea planters fell into debt to them and were so fleeced that they lost all interest in their calling. In order to carry out contracts for required quantities the tea was adulterated with other leaves and with sweepings. In Russia and Japan and above all in China there are epicures more dainty as to their daily tea than rich connoieseurs in America are over their Madeira and Burgundy, United States Consul Eedice at Amoy writes to the State Department. The governor of Formosa mye from $10 to $20 2 pound for his tea. Of © exquisite, incomparable flavor and aroma Possessed by the costly leaves people who have Never tasted anything better than ordinary tea esn have no adequate notion. In 1892 the United States will spend €11,000,- 000 for Chinese tea, of which eam the planters wail receive €8.000,000, the tradesmen on this side of the water $2,500,000 and foreigners, with no interest in America or China, the band- some balance of 5,500,000. HOW TEA SHOULD BE MADE. Americans don't know the jirst principles of making tea, Consul Bedioe says. The delicate leaf should never touch metal It should be kept in paper, wood, glass or porcelain. ‘To nuke it, put & small quantity in» porcelain cup, fill the latter with boiling water, cover it up with a porcelain saucer and let it stand three minutes. ‘Then, if you desire to bean epicure, drink ouly the upper layer of the golden liquid, throw the rest away, rinse the cup and begin drawing de novo. Never use sugar any more than you would sweeten Chambertin or pour molasses into Mumm’s extra dry. Do not use milk. It rains the flavor of the tea and the combination injures the stomach. The cloudi- nest produced by adding milk to tea arises from the action of the tannin upon the casein and is, chemically speaking, pure leather. Above all things, do not boil tea, Never let the tea stand except in a tightly closed porcelain pot. Better make itm small quantities, and make it often. In summer, when you want to cool off quickly, sip the tea boiling hot, with a slice of previously peeled lemon, or, nicer still, of orange without the rind, floating in it. In winter, especially when you bave a cold and require a sudorific, add a Winegiass full of arrack to it and drink it down as hot as you can stand it. It will bring out # profuse perspiration when punch or hot scotch fails to thaw you out. BEWARE OF GREEN TEA. It isan abomination and a fraud. In the first place it is the unripe leaf and bears the same relation to the real article that the green does to the ripe peach. The green tea of commerce derives it# rare color from being cured, or rather killed, ox dirty copper pans, from being mixed with weeds aud shrubs, from being stfained with indigo and chrome-yellow, from being colored with v rdigris, grave juice or chlorophyl. Every green dye known to commerce has been used to produce that much admired but death- dealing color, excepting it may be Paris green. As soon as the use -f that poisopous substance will fires Profit of accnts pound no doubt it will be liberaily used by the mercenary Mon- golian merchant and the much more mercen- ary European tea trader. There is no fine teain the United States. What comes hither is the cheap stuff used in China by the coolies and jail inmates, When an American housekeeper pays €1 per pound for her Oolong or English breakfast she is buying what is sold in China for 25 cents. No really good tea iv sold here for less than $1 per pound by the wholesale. If laid down in the market at home it could not be sold for less than 1.75. FARMS IN TEA DISTRICTS. There are farms in Formosa, Fo-Kien and other tea districts whose tea crop is as famous hnd distinctively known in the eastern world ay the various chaterux of France are to the wine experts of Europe. Just us the millionaires of Europe control certain vineyards, so do the millionaires of the flowery kingdom contro! tea plantations whose annual output ‘is worth & king's ransom. What nectar ix a really good cup of tea. The color is a delicate gold, each leat unfolds intoa perfect olive oval; ite fragrance, delicate and yet penetrating, is distinguishable above all other perfumes. IN ANCIENT TiMrs. By whom and when the use of tea for drink- ing purposes was discovered is lost inantiquit; ‘The famous herb is referred to in the Chinese annals as far back as 2000 B. C., at which period was cultivated and classified —alinost completely as today. One ancient legend that its virtues were learned by accident by a Chinese monarch. King Shen Nung, “the ine husbandman,” who flourished forty cen- turies ago, and who, in boiling water over a fi made from tea branches on which the leav still hung, allowed some of the latter to fall into the pot. 3 ‘Tea was highly estcemed in nearly every ancient Asiatic city near the sea and was used as a royal gift from the Chinese monarchs and great merchants to the potentates of the east. To the ra; , the sultans of Ceylon, the ‘and daimios of Japan, were vent gifts of carefully se- ke ted’ samples of the leaves packed in pr: ious boxes. Some of these presents must hay. been worthy of acrown.
