How to Make Tea.

Grocers, tell your customers how to
make tea; not one in hundred knows
sow. The Chinese do it this way:
They pour boiling water into a cup
and turn some tea into it, and when
the leaves sink to the bottom, which
happens in a few seconds, they pour
the water off and drink it. We, on
the contrary, let the tea ''stand"
sometimes, even in the drawing room,
while in the servants hall it is al
lowed regularly to stew on the hob
until brown decoction of equal
strength and bitterness is ready to
be served to the detriment of the
nerves OF all who drink it on account
OF the tannin squeezed, so to speak,
out of the stewed tea-leaveS Now,
the remedy for this is very easy, and
consists in never allowing tea, when
made, to stand for moro than three
minutes at most, or, better still, to
have it made in one teapot and
poured of into another.

Practical Value Of the Newspaper.

No man ever read attentively a
good weekly paper which he paid for,
no matter what the price, who did
not or could not realize profit in the
transaction, to say nothing of the
pleasure sure to be derived.
A case in point has recently come
to hand. Some time ago was published
in the columns of Western journal
Fruit Grower. a method of destroying
cutworms as practiced by horticul-
turist in Australia. One of the re-
suits of such publication was to cause
others to try the remedy and here is
what is said about it by. Mr.. Russell
G. Allen, General Manager of the
Sweetwater Fruit Company of Ma

loud ''Hem!" caused him to start and
look up. Instead of the young

The elder Rivington looked at the ale

Thank'ee. Tether him there-will

he in?"
Before Shelah could answer Reeks
gave evidence OF his bodily presence
by appearing at the doorway. The
brewer walked in, followed by Shelah.
Rivington, senior, was pleasant,
chatty old gentleman, and he soon
disclosed the object of his visit A
ball was going to be held at Herring.

tributing invitations to such of his
tenants as choose to attend. AS he
was passing-Quite by accident, he
assured them-he felt he ought not

There were the tickets and he hoped
that Reeks and his daughter would
attend.

blandly, as Reeks, after expressing
his thanks, took them up. "that this
ball is to be held in honor of my son
Cyril's marriage. He is to be mar

very old friend of mlne-a man Of

Jennie stood vacantly staring into q

"Nothing, farther" she answered

'That is what it was," said old
Rivington. "the heat of the fire. no
doubt. l have experienced the same

Reeks. hope you will find it con-

He nodded pleasantly, untethered
his horse from the palings, and
mounted it. AS he rode away he
smiled softly and patted his horses

the "Ship" and walked aimlessly
down to his boat. The surf was
boiling on the Scroby, and great roll
ers with foaming crests were racing
in and tumbling upon the sunlit
beach. He stood awhile absently
watching the little salt fountains
which their recoil lett bubbling in the
sand, then mounted the tall hillock
to look for Reeks.
On the top he started and his tan
cheeks grew pale. At the base of the

Through her tear -brimmed eyes she
looked into his face. Not a word OF

her arms wildly about his neck, and
there she sobbed until she could sol

WILL SUE THE BANK.

Abram Feldman Will Endeavor to
 Recover $225 From the Connectf-
 cut Savings Bank-The Money Was
 Paid to an Impostor.
 Abram Feldman, young shoe merchant of Wallingford, will, through his attorney, J. P. Goodhart, to-day make formal de- mand on the Connecticut Savings bank fo, $225, and unless the same is paid will ina mediately institute a suit for It's recovery,
 For some time past Feldman has been saving his money and depositing it in the Connecticut Savings bank. On May 15 he had $225 to his credit there. About July 15 Feldman missed his bank book and notified the bank of his loss, at the same time informing the officials not to pay the amount to his credit to anyone ex- cept himself. He was told that on July 8 a man representing himself as A. Feldman had presented the book at the bank and drawn out all the money and that in con- sequence they would not pay the money over again.
 WFeldman again demanded the money but was refused and in consequence he placed his claim in the hands of Attorney Good hart and the above action has been decided upon. The suit, if 1t is brought, will un- doubtedly be an interesting one as 1t will determine the liability of banks under sim liar circumstances.

A HOAX STORY

Reported That John MacGilvray Was Killed and Frank McGinn Badly Injured at Savin Rock. It was currently reported around the streets last evening that John MacGilvray and Frank McGinn of this city had been thrown out of carriage at Savin Rock; that MacGilvray's neck had been broken, from which he immediately died, and that Frank McGinn had barely escaped with hia life.
 Another report was to the effect that MacGilvray had been instantly killed and that his remains were at Moeglin's hotel. It further stated that Frank McGinn had been thrown under the wheels and his head struck by the hind hoof of the horses and that he had escaped with his life, but in 8 mangled condition.
 Investigation proved the whole story to be fabrication with no possible founda- tion whatever. Frank MoGinn was found at his place of business at the shore, and it was said that MaeGiIvray had not been at the shore yesterday. Billy Staley shut up Frank McGinn's place on Orange street and went down to the Rock to investi gate.
 The report was evidently sent out by some of those who think it smart to tell false stories.

And Two Burglars Made Haste to
 Depart. An attempt was made to rob the safe in the Fairfield postofics yesterday morning. The burglars in working at the safe touched off the burglar alarm. This woke up E. W. s.
