How Russians Make Tea.

''This is Russian samovar," said the
head of the Russian department at
Titfany's in answer to a question. People
in this country don't know how to use
them. They imagine that a samovar is
to make tea in; whereas tea in Russia
where tea is made in perfection-is
always made in an earthen teapot.
1.-The samovar ought to be engraved
on the Russian coat of arms. Every
Russian, from the peasant to the Gar,
has samovar, but the samovar is only
to heat the water for the tea. This
centre tube you notice." he continued,
removing the cover, ''when in use
should be filled with lighted charcoal.
[ usually advise persons to start the char
coal in the range and put it lighted in
the samovar tube. The space around
this tube is filled with cold water, the
samovar is placed on the table, and in a
few moments the water begins to boil.
Russian ladies always prepare their tea
themselves at the table. An earthen tea
always placed beside the lady at the
head of the table. She first turns a
little boiling water in the teapot to heat
it, then she turns this out and puts in
the tea. She turns boiling water over it
and instantly turns this Quit is merely
to wash the dust off the tea. This done,
she turns on the tea sufficient water to
make it quite strong, covers it with
napkin, aud leaves it for few moments
to draw Then she fills each tea glass
;'artly full of this strong tea and fills it
ap with boiling water from the samovar.
regulating the strength of the glass of
tea to the taste of the person to whom it
is served.
Russians do not drink strong tea
All tea is served in thin glasses set in
metal frames, like Turkish coffee cups
A tea glass and holder is a popular gift
from a lady to gentleman Water that
has boiled over fifteen minutes is con-
sidered unfit to make tea All tea is
served boiling hot Cold tea is an
abomination. 1t is not known in Russia. -

In speaking of the superstitions of
mariners, Captain J. w. Hall, one of the
oldest and most experienced lake faring
men in Detroit, said yesterday: odd
you ever notice that there is no vessel on
the lakes named The George Washing
ton? The first vessel that ever bore that
name was a steamer launched in 1888.
She went down during the same year
with the loss of one life. Another was
built about 1887, and in 1888 foundered
with the loss of sixty-eight lives. The
idea that there is bad luck in the name

whether you could now induce an un-

He did not return to the Lethbridges'
and he kept out from Aliens way.
One dav, about a week later, in passing
a picture gallery, he wandered in. There
was one other person only in the gallery
lady in black With her back TO the door.
Maskelyne stood still, with a sudden
pang In moment the lady turned her
head slightly and Maskelyne saw that
his heart had not deceived him.
Flora was unconscious that she was no
longer alone. Inthe silence and secluded
remoteness of this curtained room the
burden she carried day after day dropped
away from her in an interval of blessed
calm. She sat with her hands clasped
in her lap All the worn lines of her de-
licate profile were revealed to Maske-
lyne's eyes now. Not changed He
stood there devouring her face with his
glance and lump ached in his throat.
Not changed! She suddenly put up a
small hand in a little shabby black
glove and brushed tear hastily from her
cheek. At the same moment, as though
afraid of her weakness, she started to
her feet Muskelyne, simultaneously,
had taken several steps forward.
They stood and looked at each other
for one instant as people who have
parted estranged on this earth may meet
again and look at each other In some
other world where misunderstanding
and mysteries are made clear.
Then Flora, with another glance of her
worn eyes, murmured Good bye"
She was going toward the door. He
followed her.
"May 1 not walk home with you r.
He had small consciousness of what
he was saying.
1t was humble place. She made no
apology for it, She did not ask him to
sit down. She stood as though she ex-
pected that every moment he would go.
In drawing off her gloves one of them
fell to the ground. Maskelyne stopped
and seized it. He raised it and with
blind impulse carried the poor bit of
shabby kid passionately to his lips.
Flora looked at him with startled eyes.
She put out her hand for her glove.
"Flora," he whispered, "will you
forgive me?" He had her hand in both
his own now, tightly locked in trem-
bling clasp.
"Forgive you?" she slowly repeated,
Oh,'' She raised her arm with a heau-
tiful motion, it is you who ought to
forgive"
After an instant she drew herself
softly away from him. The youth had
come back to her face She stood with
her repellent hand against his breast.
Would you," she said searchingly,
and in the glance and attitude there
was once more the Flora Wade of long
ago, "would you believe me if [ told
you that I cared for you even-even that
day in camp, years ago?"
Maskelyne was silent. He drew deep
breath.

A great deal of Chinese land is divided
up into farms of one-sixth of an acre in

free shaving. 1t costs about 81 per year

The people of Thessaly were the first
probably among the Greeks who broke
horses for service in war; and the pro-
ficiency of these people as equestrians
gave rise to the ancient myth that their
country was originally inhabited by Cen
taurs.
