SCIENCE OF A TEAPOT.
An Invention That Separates Tannic
Acid From the Beverage.
NEW IDEA FOR MARKING GRAVES
A Csmsnt Process That Will Stop the I'm
portation Of Portland
N0DIFIID PASTEUR TREATMENT
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPArcH.1

Hsl
Moro attention is given now than ever
before to tie hygenic conditions and inhu-
ences of daily life. The old-fashioned tea
pot was good enough for our grandmothers.
and they imbibed its e1hiliarating brew in
happy unconsciousness of its insidious ef-
feet on their digestive organa Tea is just
as indispensable now as 1t was then, but the
health experts of to-day arc not content
with the conservative method Of making it
They insist that this generation has already
temperament too nervous and sentative,
and that If tea Is to be drunk it must be de-
prived of its i'll effects on the nerves Of the
drinker.
An invention has been patented which
claims to have solved the hitherto insolubls
problem Of separating tho tannio acid from
the tea, result that will enable many per-
sons to take this delightful beverage who
have until now been unable to do so. In
side the teapot, which Is of the ordinary
oval shape, is fixed q cylinder containing .
conical perforated cage, having short rod
attached to it just long enough to appear out
side the cover. The outer case of the teapot
is filed with boiling water the dry tea
is placed in the cylinder containing the
cage and the boiling water in the outer pot
makes the cylinder quite hot. This is taken
up by the dry tea, which becomes warm and
lighter than when put in. The boiling
water is now put into the cylinder, the
cover is replaced, and in three or four
minutes. according to the nature of the tea
China taking three minutes, Ceylon four
minutes, Indian, if blended, three or four
minutes-the infusion is complete.
1t will be found that all the leaves rise
from the bottom of the pot to the top by
their own action, thus passing through all
the water. The conical strainer is raised in
the cover by means of the rod. In so doing
the water is forced through all the tea again
as the leayes come into the cover, thus
causing a thorough infusion before the
tannic acid can discharge ITSELF The tea
will be found the color Of amber, free from
the particles Of fine dust never absent from
the ordinary tea, and possessing all the best
qualities and none of the injurious traits of
the much-prized beverage.

THE REAL CAUSE OF BLAcKHEADa

The Use Of Good Soap Il . Preventive n
Well As a Beautinsr.
1t is said that good soap is great beauti-
fer and preventive of the uncomely look
ing ''blackheads" which are such disfg-
urement and are SO hard to get rid of.
The real cause of these unpleasant little
specks is not. as a rule, anything more
serious than this Some people have much
larger skin pores than others, and the dust
collects, settles and finally forms hard,
black, little substance. BY constant iric-
tion it is rubbed into and settles in the
pores and is sealed there by black speck.
Street dust is unavoidable, but it is much
less harmful taken straight to the skin than
through veil.

Three W ordA.

Jenness Miller Monthly.1
There are three lessons / would wr1te-
Three words as with II burning pen
In tracingS or eternal light,
Upon the hearts Of men:
Have Hope. Though clouds environ now,
And gladness hides her face in scorn,
Put thou tire shadow from thy brow
No night but hath its morn.
Have Faith. Where'er thy bark Is driven
The calm's disport, the tempest's wrath
Know thou: GOD rules the hosts of Heaven
The inhabitant of earth.
Have Love. Not alone for ono,
But nan, as man, thy brother call,
And scatter. like the circling sun,
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these lessons on thy soul
Hope, Faith and Love-and thou shalt find
Strength, when Life's surges rudest roll,
Light, when thou else vert blind

Development OF the Pasteur Treatment
A remarkable and unexpected develop
ment of the Pasteur method, which oc-
CURED recently in France, is of great inter-
est to the medical faculty and the public
generally. A man named Bossari, who had
been admitted as patient to the Pasteur
Institute at Bologna after being bitten by q
mad dog, began, on March 26 to develop
unmistakable symptoms Of hydrophobia in
a paralytic form and lost entire control of
some of his most important functions. 1t
became evident to the institute professors
that the Pasteur treatment had been ap-
piled too late or had not acted on the nerv-
GUS system with sufficient rapidity.
1t was then suggested that, as last re-
source, the inoculations should be made
direct into the patients veins The inter-
venous injections commenced on March 20
and were continued until April II, when
all symptoms of the bydrophobia had dis
appeared and the patient recovered.
Eighteen of the injections were admins
tered in oil. When the treatment began
Bossari had lost the use of his legs and had
q diminution of nervous functions, which
showed that the disease had commenced in
the spinal cord, and that he was rapidly
succumbing to its influence. The injection
of the Pasteur lymph into his veins arrested
the course Of the disease and resulted in re-
c0very.

American Portland Cement

One Of the future industries of this
country is Portland cement. Tho present
annual production of this valuable material
in Europe amounts to over 2O, 0O0, 900 bar
rels, of a commercial value of over $36, ,000,-
600. In the early days of the industry the
process was SO crude that in 1850 only four
factories were in operation In England,
where the yearly output is now $500, 900
barrels The process is much the same as it
was 20 years ago. The raw materials arc
chalk and clay, both very pure. and a.
though inferior processes are employed,
they make a satisfactory cement France
turns out 1,S00, 900 barrels yearly; Russia,
900, coo: Belgium, 100000, and Denmark,
Norway and Sweden have ten factories,
which average about $4,000 barrels each.
The quantity imported into America last
year was over 5000, 900 barrels.
In all probability such an item will not
long figure on the list Of American importa-
tions, as process has been adopted in this
country that has already revolutionized the
science Of cement making. At factory in
Pennsylvania, where the new process is
used, the raw compound is burnt into q
powdered condition while travelling in an
inclined rotary furnace in an intensely hot
petroleum flame, and few hours is suffi-
cient to finish the process The cement is
guaranteed to stand 400 pounds in seven
days, 500 pounds in month and 600 pounds
in three months, and to leave no moro than
10 per cent residue on No. 80 sieve.

THE CoBDEN CLUES REPORT.

The Golden Club takes issue with Lord
Salisbury on questions Of fact. Salisbury
said that reciprocity between the United
States and certain countries was cutting
into British markets. and the club says that
British trade is increasing The English
Minister Will not End much difficulty in
proving ali be said. Between the Mckinley
tariff, which de3ryes England Of pant of
her American market. and the reciprocity
clause, which obtains for the United States
lower duties In certain foreign countries
than are granted to other nations, England
has lost foreign trade. The loss in one di-
rection may be recovered in another, but
just at the present time several British in
duStrIes are depre. sed. The Golden report
expresses doubt whether free trade with
the United States would not be more harm
full than beneficial TO British interests. This
doubt must have been thrown in for the
benefit OF American voters. There is but
one opinion in England as 10 the desirable
ity Of free American market for the prod
ucts of British factories There may be
two sides as to the policy of admitting goods
free from country that imposes duties on
British goods. but there can be no doubt OF
the benefit Of free exports where imports
are free.
