How Tea Is Tasted Nowadays.

The art of tea-tasting in commercial
houses. which for merly proved detri-
mental to the health of so many men,
has now been reduced to such accu.
racy that the tasting pat of it has
been practically eliminated in all but
the name. and the tea is tested now by
sight and smell. Boiling water is
first poured on an accurately-meas-
ured portion of the leaves. In q few
minutes the liquid shows some tint
Of green or brown. and the length Of
this time and the shade of the color
produced are important elements in
the test The faster then, with the aid
of a spoon. inhales the rising steam
from the mixture. This is called get
ting the aroma" and is the most i'm
portant part Of the test He may. per-
haps, in some cases actually taste the
liquid. but this is no longer generally
done. Color. aroma and the .'liquor-
ing" qualities of the tea are suf-
ficient grounds to judge by. The old
time tea-taster was ahigh-salaried ex-
pert. who frequently ended his career
with heart disease or fits, the result of
slow poisoning from the quantities Of
adulterated tea he tasted. but now. as
q rule. every merchant tests his own
teas BY the recent and ap proved meth

good enough place for him after hav.
ing seen something Of tho rest Of tho
world.
Arctic explorers who are not broken
by the hardships of the first voyage
are ready to make another. Life in
these high attitudes has q fascination
for them. Whalemen 60 far up into
the Arctic Ocean year after year.
Captains of whaling vessels rarely re-
tire from business 50 long as they have
sufficient physical stamina These
high ATTITUDES deal kindly with them.
In Sweden, the terminus of the most
northern railroad in that country Is
on the line of the Arctic circle. How
far will civilization yet push into
Arctic regions? Railroads may final
ly reach the Arctic circle by way Of
Alaska Life has been found tolerable
in winter even at Point Barrow, the
shores OF the Arctic Ocean.
The summer tourists are now ON
their way in greater numbers than
usual to the high ATTITUDES Of Alaska.
Those who have made the excursion to
the North Cape and have since
made one to Alaska, declare that
scenery along the coast Of the latter
surpasses in grandeur and beauty that
along the coast Of Norway. The pas
sage through narrow waterways. the
placid waters, wooded islands. land
locked bays, fjOrds, majestic mount
aims, and forests coming down to meet
the sea, and further north the glaciers.
are some of the attractions of this
summer excursion in high ATTITUDES.
At no distant day. probably. these
summer excursions will be extended to
points where the midnight sun win be
as visible as at the North Cape. Where
the present excursions terminate there
is only brief twilight during the
twenty-four hours. An old whaling
captain. being Intercepted about the
appearance Of the midnight sun in the
Arctic Ocean, declared that the sight
was not at all equal to the spouting of
a good-sized whale.-San Francisco

Women with Painted Faces.

I was the other afternoon in the

liberty to give them q little advice. A
considerable number of them had en-

young ones seem to have done 80 even
more than the elderly ones. Now, ad-
hitting that to paint the face be de-
