Good Tea. ‘The United States n&enmum of Agriculture recently that the quality of tea being imported into this country is excellent. In March, Federal inspectors examined tea enough to make a cup every other day for every man, woman and child in the country. They rejected only 1200 odd pounds; they | passed 7,000,000 pounds. ‘This scems to be cause for rejoici for it shows that foreign e: T8 real ize that the United States market de. man tea.

The moccasin flower in the pine woods of Maryland steals out like an Indian defile. There are long weeks of Spring when I not only never see the flower, but I do not even see its first| leaves and shoots. They are there, I' suppose, but they manage to look very scarce, as the country people say. And then, suddenly, the woods are full of them, at least in some of the haunts that I know that are little frequented by Sunday picnickers and professional wild-flower pickers. Both, alas, are active at this season of the year. On any of the main hways, of & Sunday afternoon, or on or electric systems running out from may see returning men, | children with their hands| full of moccasin flowers or, as they are | often called, pink lady's slippers, that | have already wilted. On the stfeets, too, there are children selling them, | and how pathetic the little blossoms look when brought to town! In the woods & queen, or at least a dryad, the | pink Iady's slipper within city walls is the merest gipsy, folorn, sadly bright, blowsy. Why. oh, why, can't people let the poor flower alone The Wild Flower Preservation Society has taken it under its aegis, reminding us that it is an orchid and hence easily exterminated. | Sometimes I think this only adds fury to the fingers of the flower snatchers, so ridiculous and sentimental do other- | wise sensible people become at the mere mention of the name of orchid. Mere size seems to count with the amateur orchid hunters, for the little golden lady’s slipper is passed over and gets off scot-free, or nearly so. Of the two cyprepediums of the District, it seems to me rather the falrer, but then, I have a prejudice not wholly | reasonable in favor of the small and neglected blossoms. After all, anybody | can see a magnolia blossom, and any- | body cen smell it and admire it. For | me the tiny golden shoe of cyprepedium parvifiorum is the most lovable of &ll our orchids.
