creasing in this country and in many wavs tak'ng the place of tea the con sumption of tea is constantly increasing in England with the apparent effect of materially lessening the use of coflcr Why the people of one country should prefer one form of stimulant andthoo in the other a diflerent kind there is no means of definitely knowing It is probable however that in neither case is there an adaptation of special means to special needs but the selection ivo should say was largely a matter of habit Tho English as a rule drink 1 otter tea than we do They pay much more for it and are unquestionably fond of the beverage But they almost invariably drink it with milk wh ch de stioys the greater partof any distinctive virtue may possess TheRussians who not infrequently pay six dollars or seven dollars for a single pound of tea would no more think of mixing milk with their tea than they would of mX milk with their champagne for they arc well aware that however nutritious milk may be it is not peculiarly calcu lated to bring out whatever del cate flavors tho tea may possess On the contrary it is apt to dull and neutralzo these The coffee that the English drink is poorer than that in use on the Atlantic seaboard and in the great cities of the United States though it could not be worse than the rank decoction that is sold under the name of Rio coflec and consumed by the vast majority of those who live in the central part of tins country If we were not so thoroughly slaves of habit it is probable that nisw out of ten of the people both in En gland and ths United States would swear oil' from drinking either tea or co fl co until they could obtain a much bette tasting and more refreshing beverage Boston Jlcrald down their throats and washed down with water and to my
