Was the First Royal Drinker of the Cheering Cup. in It is two hundred ago since the asfut down in his diary, on Seplember 2rd, 1660: "1 did send for a cup of tee, a China drink of which 1 had never drank before." He did not record whether he liked it or rot, but seven years afterwards--July 28th, 1667, he noted down amonz his daily doings, "Home, and thére find my wife mak. ing of tea, a drink which Mr. Pelling, the Potticary, tells her is good for her cold." f At this time, tea was an expensive | luxury, only, for the rich Indeed, at one fime it was said to cost $15 a pound. Coffee wax chearor, and more universally used. In The Kingdom's | Intelligencer, a weekly paper pub lished in 1662, we are iokl that, "At the coffee house in Exchange Alley is sold by retail the right coffee pow- der, from 4s. to 6s. Bd. per ll in goodness, also that termed the East India berry at 18d. per pound, and that termed the right Turkte berry, well garbled, at 3s. per pound, the ungarbled for lesse, with instrue- | tions gratis how to make and use the same." Chocolate was also to be had, the ordinary pound boxes at 2. 6d per pound, the perfumed from 4s. to 10s. per pound. In a humorous poem called "The Character of a Coffee House," the various beverages are thus described "The Gallant he for Tea doth eall I'he .'sarer for nought at all, The Virtuoso, he cries, 'Hand me Bome coffee mixt with Sugar Candy The Player bawls for Chocolate; All which the Bumpkin wondering at, Cries, 'Ho, my Masters, what d'ye speak, D'ye eall for drink in Heathen Greek * Give me some good old Ale or Beer Or else I will not drink, I swear.' " aud "fifty years My Pepys noted as | Tea was, it seems, rather an effeminate drink, though Waller, the poet, wrote some verses in praise of it, in which he says "The Muse's Tea, faney air; Repress those vapor# which the head invade, And keep that. palace serene.' then considered friend, does our of the soul A Jesuit who came from China told Waller how the Chinese made their tea, according to the following re ceipt: To near a pint of the infusion, take two yolks of new-laid eggs and beat them very well with as much fine sugar as is sufficient for this quantity of liquor. When they are very well incorporated, pour your tea upon the eggs and sugar and stir them well together. So drink it hot "his is when you come home from attending business abroad and are very hungry, and yet have not time to, eat a competent meal. is presently discusseth and satisfieth all rawness and indigestion of the stomach, flyeth suddenly over the whole body and inte the veins, and strengtheneth exteedingly, and preserves one a good while from the necessity of eating." . As a special recommendation, we are informed, "Mr. Waller findeth all those effects of it, thus, with eggs." William II. was the first royal tes drinker; he was said to have been very fond of tea, and his sister-in. law, Queen Anne, we know, indulged in tea-drinking, for we have Pope's lines, in which he exclaims: "Great Anna, obey, Doth sometimes counsel sometimes tea.' Tea was pronounced "tay," as now done by the lower A in Ireland. If such had not been the case, a careful rhymester, which Pope certainly was, would not have made "tea" rhyme to "obey." Cowper was evidently a tea-drinker It is to him we-owe_the ever-popular line, "thé eups that cheer, but not inebriate, waits on each." Of all the celebrated tea-drinkers, pos and present, Dr. Johnson stands oremost. After her return from that runaway wedding trip to Seotland, Mrs. John Beott--the future Lady Eldon--poured out tea for Dr. John- son at Oxford, and the number oi cups he drank afnounted, so she said, to sixteen! Jolson remembered drinking tea with Garrick and Peg Wofliington, when Garrick remonstrated with the fascinating Peg for making the tea too Strong. "Sir," said Johnson, 'it was' as red as blood.' Peg W n, being an Irish. | woman, must have put in the tea with an unusually lavish hand. One will see Irish charwomen at the pres. | ent day not satisfied with their tea unless it is, as they say, "so strong that the epoon will stand up in it.' As tea grew in popular favor, large uantities of it were stuggled into United Kingdom. We find re markable figures given in the year The Abbe Raynal estimated that the tea annually consumed in Great Britain amounted to over five million pounds, and of this he said one half must have been smuggled. Tea was about seven shillings and tan a pound, so smugglers found # to their advantage to con- vey 7 howe pe packages info caves and there until an oppor- | tanity a han to sell the tes at a large ! profit. It Queen Anne began the popularity. of tem, it was Queen Vie who institwied the habit of aftcr- noon tea, and thus immensely added to its ity among the classes.

The Scottish temperament is lése excitable than the French, even than the German and the Italian: and the traditional 'guid conceit o' oursel's' of the Beot pales its inef- fectual fire before the seli-conceit of the American. Whence, then, this exceptional display of the otherwise the Scots 'on the Burns anniversary? No sufficing an- swer can be obtained to this query { without a patient and diseriminating i study of the personality and the poetry of Burns. The poet himself alone explains his long succession of perfervid orators. One of the earliest the anniversary was in H: 'the intimate friend companion of the post rabinet was 'John Syme was the orator. of his heart.' Syme ly made upon the character of his friend then dead for 24 years. In lacerated his .breast. He age on purpose to defend his poet 'Let me, sir,' said Syme, 'who has often and often enjoyed Burns' in- timacy--who has seen him in every phasis, and has heard his lowest note and the top of his compass--let me, sir, declare that in all those situa- tions there never was a sentiment or qxpression that fell from his lips which did not gild my while it warmed my heart, and which evidently flowed from a fine and be- nevolent fountain of morality and religion.' "From 1859 to the centenary of Burng' death in 1896 the volume of annual oratory grew and improved in quality. Broad-church clergymen emerged as frequent panegyrists of the poet, often soiling the wholesome flood of oratory by assuming airs of ethical patronage towards Burns, or spreading unctuous whitewash" all too thickly where no whitewash was needed. At the centenary of the tragic death of Burns Lord Rosebery excelled all other orators of the day in his double appreciation, delivered in Dumfries and in Glasgow. Nothing more beautiful has ever been written or spoken concerning Burns than the Rosebery address at Dumfries, which ascended on steps of golden eloquence, intoned by a subduing pathos, to this peroration: 'To-day is not merély the melancholy anniversary of death, but: the rich and incomparable fulfil- ment of prophecy. For this is the moment to which Burns looked when he 'said to his wife: 'Don't be afraid, I'll be more respected a hundred years after I am dead than T am at present.' . He was right in his judgment, for his true life began with his death; With 'the body. passed all that was grass and impure: the clear spirit stood 'revealid "ind fared at once to its accepted"place among the fixed stars in the firmament of the rare immortals.' A Royal Artist. Princess Patricia of Cognaught, who has gone with her og on a visit to East Africa, greatly hopes that she will be allowed to accompany some of the hunting parties into the field, The young princess is of a distinctly adventurous turn of mind, and seems aimost regardless of danger. A few years ago Her Royal Highness had an adventure in Windsor Forest, which anight easily have had a trag- cal end. She was walking along one day along a bypath when a young deer made straight at her, with its antlers lowered. The princess joking: ly admits that she never moved so quickly in her life. Luckily she es caped with nothing worse than a se- vere fright. While in East Alriea Princess Patricia proposes to do a good deal of sketehing, and hopes to bring back with her sufficient mater- ial to paint several pictures for pre. sentation to her relatives and intimate frionds. Of our royal artists Princess Patricia is quite the best, and exam- ples of her skill in this dircetion are Ww be seen at Bagshot Park, (Clarence House: Sandringham, and the Queen's villa in Denmark. She also takes a gow many photographs, but this is merely to enable her to record scenes with her pencil and 'brush subsequent ly with greater fidelity than might otherwise be possible.

"Why," Mr Penn said, "I will give you a letter of futroduct jon to my friend Mark Lemon' (then the wellknown editor of Punch).
