well-proportioned man. and one would not
for moment imagine he wore an S56 hat.
It is fact, however. Benjamin F. Ames,
the halter, of 1853 Madison street, received
a fine stiff Derby from Mr.. Russell by ex-
press yesterday. There is only ono estab-
ment In the country where they have block
large enough to build hat for MIR. Rus
sell, and that is located at Bethel, Conn.
In all probability Russell would have had
to go hatless if the manager Of the Bethel
factory had not made block expressly for
him. Mr.. Ames exhibited this enormous
hat to number of persons yesterday. 1t

Gus tent over balloon. A box had TO be
made specially for it. The brim is a frac-
ton over inches wide from the body to
the rim all around. Miss Carrie Konk, the
young lady who finished the hat, wrote her
name on a piece of paper and pasted it be-
meath the sweat band AS Mr.. Russell is a
married man, Mr.. Ames will bring this
fact to his attentio on.

No loss of time, no interference with business
while taking. No danger from exposure after
taking. Invalids and delicate persons will find
it the mildest Aperient and Tonic they can use.
A little taken at night insures refreshing sleep
and natural evacuation of the bowels. A
little taken in the morning sharpens the appe-

How the Japsnexe Nake Tea.

One of the delightful features of an entertainment by Japanese gentleman is tho way he makes the tea with his own hands The ware and the hot water and the tea may be brought by the servant. out the host reserves to himself the function of preparing tho tea IL is a simple process. but the re- suit is a decoctlon totally unlike any thing that Americans know as u cup of ten.
 Jt Is very simple process, indeed. Say two persons are 10 drink. A small handful Of tea Is thrown into teapot Then the boiling water Is poured out into two cups. The host leisurely pours these cups Of hot water from one to another. until the water is cooled some degrees below the boiling point. IL k so cool that an American house. wife would consider it totally unfit for making tea, as the general rule with HIS Is to pour on little boiling water first Co draw tho tea. The idea of cool ing the water. the Japanese say. is to avoid extracting the sharp acrid taste that Is often noticed In tea When tho water is sufficiently cooled it is poured upon the tea all at once. and allowed to stand but few moments. Then it Is poured of and 1t is ready to be drunk. To use milk and sugar would be sacrilige. Tho deeoction is deli- cious. smooth, and peculiarly aromatic liquid, nectar of the gods It Is, of course, a very expensive way to make tea, but when 1t is made 1t is drink to be remembered.
