Tea \Tea\, n. [Chin. tsh[be], Prov. Chin. te: cf. F. th[82].]       1. The prepared leaves of a shrub, or small tree ({Thea, [or]             Camellia, Chinensis}). The shrub is a native of China, but             has been introduced to some extent into some other             countries.          Note: Teas are classed as green or black, according to their                color or appearance, the kinds being distinguished also                by various other characteristic differences, as of                taste, odor, and the like. The color, flavor, and                quality are dependent upon the treatment which the                leaves receive after being gathered. The leaves for                green tea are heated, or roasted slightly, in shallow                pans over a wood fire, almost immediately after being                gathered, after which they are rolled with the hands                upon a table, to free them from a portion of their                moisture, and to twist them, and are then quickly                dried. Those intended for black tea are spread out in                the air for some time after being gathered, and then                tossed about with the hands until they become soft and                flaccid, when they are roasted for a few minutes, and                rolled, and having then been exposed to the air for a                few hours in a soft and moist state, are finally dried                slowly over a charcoal fire. The operation of roasting                and rolling is sometimes repeated several times, until                the leaves have become of the proper color. The                principal sorts of green tea are Twankay, the poorest                kind; Hyson skin, the refuse of Hyson; Hyson, Imperial,                and Gunpowder, fine varieties; and Young Hyson, a                choice kind made from young leaves gathered early in                the spring. Those of black tea are Bohea, the poorest                kind; Congou; Oolong; Souchong, one of the finest                varieties; and Pekoe, a fine-flavored kind, made                chiefly from young spring buds. See {Bohea}, {Congou},                {Gunpowder tea}, under {Gunpowder}, {Hyson}, {Oolong},                and {Souchong}. --K. Johnson. Tomlinson.          Note: [bd]No knowledge of . . . [tea] appears to have reached                Europe till after the establishment of intercourse                between Portugal and China in 1517. The Portuguese,                however, did little towards the introduction of the                herb into Europe, and it was not till the Dutch                established themselves at Bantam early in 17th century,                that these adventurers learned from the Chinese the                habit of tea drinking, and brought it to Europe.[b8]                --Encyc.

Tide \Tide\, n. [AS. t[c6]d time; akin to OS. & OFries. t[c6]d,       D. tijd, G. zeit, OHG. z[c6]t, Icel. t[c6][?], Sw. & Dan.       tid, and probably to Skr. aditi unlimited, endless, where a-       is a negative prefix. [fb]58. Cf. {Tidings}, {Tidy}, {Till},       prep., {Time}.]       1. Time; period; season. [Obsoles.] [bd]This lusty summer's             tide.[b8] --Chaucer.                         And rest their weary limbs a tide.      --Spenser.                         Which, at the appointed tide, Each one did make his                      bride.                                                --Spenser.                         At the tide of Christ his birth.         --Fuller.          2. The alternate rising and falling of the waters of the             ocean, and of bays, rivers, etc., connected therewith. The             tide ebbs and flows twice in each lunar day, or the space             of a little more than twenty-four hours. It is occasioned             by the attraction of the sun and moon (the influence of             the latter being three times that of the former), acting             unequally on the waters in different parts of the earth,             thus disturbing their equilibrium. A high tide upon one             side of the earth is accompanied by a high tide upon the             opposite side. Hence, when the sun and moon are in             conjunction or opposition, as at new moon and full moon,             their action is such as to produce a greater than the             usual tide, called the {spring tide}, as represented in             the cut. When the moon is in the first or third quarter,             the sun's attraction in part counteracts the effect of the             moon's attraction, thus producing under the moon a smaller             tide than usual, called the {neap tide}.          Note: The flow or rising of the water is called flood tide,                and the reflux, ebb tide.          3. A stream; current; flood; as, a tide of blood. [bd]Let in             the tide of knaves once more; my cook and I'll             provide.[b8] --Shak.          4. Tendency or direction of causes, influences, or events;             course; current.                         There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken                      at the flood, leads on to fortune.      --Shak.          5. Violent confluence. [Obs.] --Bacon.          6. (Mining) The period of twelve hours.          {Atmospheric tides}, tidal movements of the atmosphere             similar to those of the ocean, and produced in the same             manner by the attractive forces of the sun and moon.          {Inferior tide}. See under {Inferior}, a.          {To work double tides}. See under {Work}, v. t.          {Tide day}, the interval between the occurrences of two             consecutive maxima of the resultant wave at the same             place. Its length varies as the components of sun and moon             waves approach to, or recede from, one another. A             retardation from this cause is called the lagging of the             tide, while the acceleration of the recurrence of high             water is termed the priming of the tide. See {Lag of the             tide}, under 2d {Lag}.          {Tide dial}, a dial to exhibit the state of the tides at any             time.          {Tide gate}.             (a) An opening through which water may flow freely when                   the tide sets in one direction, but which closes                   automatically and prevents the water from flowing in                   the other direction.             (b) (Naut.) A place where the tide runs with great                   velocity, as through a gate.          {Tide gauge}, a gauge for showing the height of the tide;             especially, a contrivance for registering the state of the             tide continuously at every instant of time. --Brande & C.          {Tide lock}, a lock situated between an inclosed basin, or a             canal, and the tide water of a harbor or river, when they             are on different levels, so that craft can pass either way             at all times of the tide; -- called also {guard lock}.          {Tide mill}. (a) A mill operated by the tidal currents.             (b) A mill for clearing lands from tide water.          {Tide rip}, a body of water made rough by the conflict of             opposing tides or currents.          {Tide table}, a table giving the time of the rise and fall of             the tide at any place.          {Tide water}, water affected by the flow of the tide; hence,             broadly, the seaboard.          {Tide wave}, [or] {Tidal wave}, the swell of water as the             tide moves. That of the ocean is called primitive; that of             bays or channels derivative. --Whewell.          {Tide wheel}, a water wheel so constructed as to be moved by             the ebb or flow of the tide.

Heart \Heart\, n. [OE. harte, herte, heorte, AS. heorte; akin to       OS. herta, OFies. hirte, D. hart, OHG. herza, G. herz, Icel.       hjarta, Sw. hjerta, Goth. ha[a1]rt[?], Lith. szirdis, Russ.       serdtse, Ir. cridhe, L. cor, Gr. [?], [?] [?][?][?][?]. Cf.       {Accord}, {Discord}, {Cordial}, 4th {Core}, {Courage}.]       1. (Anat.) A hollow, muscular organ, which, by contracting             rhythmically, keeps up the circulation of the blood.                         Why does my blood thus muster to my heart! --Shak.          Note: In adult mammals and birds, the heart is                four-chambered, the right auricle and ventricle being                completely separated from the left auricle and                ventricle; and the blood flows from the systematic                veins to the right auricle, thence to the right                ventricle, from which it is forced to the lungs, then                returned to the left auricle, thence passes to the left                ventricle, from which it is driven into the systematic                arteries. See Illust. under {Aorta}. In fishes there                are but one auricle and one ventricle, the blood being                pumped from the ventricle through the gills to the                system, and thence returned to the auricle. In most                amphibians and reptiles, the separation of the auricles                is partial or complete, and in reptiles the ventricles                also are separated more or less completely. The                so-called lymph hearts, found in many amphibians,                reptiles, and birds, are contractile sacs, which pump                the lymph into the veins.          2. The seat of the affections or sensibilities, collectively             or separately, as love, hate, joy, grief, courage, and the             like; rarely, the seat of the understanding or will; --             usually in a good sense, when no epithet is expressed; the             better or lovelier part of our nature; the spring of all             our actions and purposes; the seat of moral life and             character; the moral affections and character itself; the             individual disposition and character; as, a good, tender,             loving, bad, hard, or selfish heart.                         Hearts are dust, hearts' loves remain. --Emerson.          3. The nearest the middle or center; the part most hidden and             within; the inmost or most essential part of any body or             system; the source of life and motion in any organization;             the chief or vital portion; the center of activity, or of             energetic or efficient action; as, the heart of a country,             of a tree, etc.                         Exploits done in the heart of France. --Shak.                         Peace subsisting at the heart Of endless agitation.                                                                               --Wordsworth.          4.

Vigorous and efficient activity; power of fertile             production; condition of the soil, whether good or bad.                         That the spent earth may gather heart again.                                                                               --Dryden.          6. That which resembles a heart in shape; especially, a             roundish or oval figure or object having an obtuse point             at one end, and at the other a corresponding indentation,             -- used as a symbol or representative of the heart.          7. One of a series of playing cards, distinguished by the             figure or figures of a heart; as, hearts are trumps.          8. Vital part; secret meaning; real intention.                         And then show you the heart of my message. --Shak.          9. A term of affectionate or kindly and familiar address.             [bd]I speak to thee, my heart.[b8] --Shak.          Note: Heart is used in many compounds, the most of which need                no special explanation; as, heart-appalling,                heart-breaking, heart-cheering, heart-chilled,                heart-expanding, heart-free, heart-hardened,                heart-heavy, heart-purifying, heart-searching,                heart-sickening, heart-sinking, heart-stirring,                heart-touching, heart-wearing, heart-whole,                heart-wounding, heart-wringing, etc.          {After one's own heart}, conforming with one's inmost             approval and desire; as, a friend after my own heart.                         The Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart.                                                                               --1 Sam. xiii.                                                                               14.          {At heart}, in the inmost character or disposition; at             bottom; really; as, he is at heart a good man.          {By heart}, in the closest or most thorough manner; as, to             know or learn by heart.
