THE TEA HABIT.
As Steady Triple the Cup That Cheers
Resembles the One That Inebrlates.

As a Steady Triple the Cup That Cheers
Resembles the One That Inebriates.
Tea drinking as habit is very much on
the increase throughout the country, here
women, who have fallen into the way of
taking a cup three and four times day,
would do we'll to be warned in time
against Its insidious influence. The New
York Sun gives some reasons for such
warning: Tea, like all other good things
in life, has its limit line of benefit, after
which anything like free use of it becomes
a positive injury, as hurtful to the digcs-
ton and nervous system as alcohol. Two
cups of good tea is all the average femi.
nine system can readily assimilate In "a
hours, and the usual results to the woman
of oversocinbility in her dainty cups is apt
to take the form of neuralgia and COM
mon dyspepsia that Injuries the best com
plexion. F
In extreme cases very frequent among
women of the lower classes in England
and Ireland, where thousands of pounds OF
very inferior grades of tea are always boil
ed long and hard before considered fit for
drinking, effects as serious as from alcohol
ism have been discovered recently, and yet
the medical commissioners who inquired
Into this lamentable state of affairs con-
tend that tea as a steady tipple would be-
robbed Of half its ugly effects If always
properly brewed and drunk hot with very
little sugar. 1t is more digestible, too,
without any milk or cream, and the whole
secret of It's proper making lies in never
permitting the boiling water more than
an instant's contact with the leaves.
In one family where tea is very much
drunk it is made always at the table and
in French coffeepot. The leaves are put
in the strainer, enough water is first light
ly poured on to swell and unfold them,
and then the whole amount necessary is
added in slow, steady stream. The re-
suit is delicious infusion, fragrant and
quite strong, yet wholly free from the Bit
ing faint of tannin.

The New England Telephone Company
have just completed the new copper metalli,
connected liue between this city and Ban
gor, also Rockland, Camden and Belfast
The work has been under way for several
weeks, and many obstacles in the way OF
electric railroad and light wires. etc., have
been overcome, and now all places can be
plainly heard. A good example of what
electric railroad wires will do with an ordi-
nary ground connected telephone line may
be seen on the line from Skowhegan to Nor
ridgewock, for since the opening of the
electric railroad between those two towns
not a single word can be heard over the
wires either here or at Skowhegan from the
towns along the upper Kennebec. The
rates for the new service from this office
will be, Bangor, As cents; Rockland, 40;
Camden So and Belfast 80.

NEW THEORY OF COOKING.



duced Labor and Cost.
Professor Edward Atkinson g theories on
the subject of cooking can interest nobody
more than the average housewife. de Is
perhaps the first scientist who has endeav-
ored to simplify and tighten the labori'
GUS task Of getting three good hearty
meals per day. In pamphlet Issued by
the department Of agriculture he says:
After observing the irremediable faults OF
all our iron stoves and ranges it occurred
to me that the right way to apply heat TO
food material would be to box it up IN a
non heat conducting chamber to which
could convey heat by measure and main
tain 1t at any suitable and even tempera-
ture
One of the simplest and best types OF
such apparatus he thus describes: A, box
made of pine or of wildwood or any other
wood of close texture least liable to warp
u shrink, either one or two inches thick.
The thicker the less radiation or loss OF
heat there will be. 1t should be lined with
Tin, and the tin should be carried around
the bottom edges and turned up outside 30
that the wooden surfaces of the edges may
not come in direct contact with the me-
tallic top of the table on which the oven
is to he placed. If the outside Of this box
is also covered with tin or sheet metal OF
any kind, it will become absolutely safe
to make use of it night or day without
any other precautions than due care OF
the lamp by which it is heated. B, me-
tallc table or table with a metal top,
on which the box is to be placed, and to
which it may be hinged. Hole in the
middle az inches in diameter. c, hinge.
D, double tube open at the bottom over
the lamp chimney and over the hole in the
metallic table. Both tubes may BIO open
at the sides by openings to match each
other, say half an inch in width by two
inches in length on each quarter. The
upper tube, supporting q plate, may be
turned on the lower tube SO as to open the
way for direct heat to pass into the box
through the openings for very quick
work, or the upper tube may be turned
upon the lower one SO as to close these
openings, which are marked Z.
A handle is shown by which this box
may be turned backward or end up. A
convenient size would be to make the
space indicated by the four letters, q, q,

COOKING BOx-SECTION AND PERSPECTIVE.
=, a, IA inches each way. In addition to
that space will be the space within the
box under the slant at the front. The OBJ
ject in adding this part under the slant is
that the box may clear any cooking vessel
which is placed on the tube over the lamp
when it is turned upon end. A second
diagram Of the oven is given in perspec-
tive upon a table wide enough on every
side to hold the fragments Of the wooden
box in the remote contingency that
through carelessness it should be ignited
by an excess of heat.
Professor Atkinson maintains that any
body can cook with this apparatus. The
art of broiling steak under box lined
lection. consists only in first lifting the
box, then putting the pan and the grill,
with the steak upon it, upon the plate,
then placing the box over it and then leav-
ing it subject to the heat of the lamp for
Is minutes to half an hour according to
the thickness of the steak. The art Of
cooking green vegetables consists in pre-
pairing them, putting them into the vege-
table dishes in which they are to be serv-
ed, with salt, pepper or butter or what
ever is chosen to go with them. These
accessories may be added in the process of
cooking or after the vegetables are cook
ed. The whole art consists in placing the
vegetable dishes on the metallic table I'M
der which the lamp is placed and then
putting the box over the dishes. A little
water may be added if they are somewhat

sumes one quart Of oil in eight hours, is
