How to Make Tea.

More than half the Tea consumed in the
United States and Canada is of Japanese
growth, yet, the majority Of Americans ap-
parently do not understand how to prepare
it SO as to develop the delicious qualities
which it contains. The japanese Govern
ment has appropriated large fund to aid
the Japanese Tea growers and Tea mer.
chants in prosecuting this educational work,
and it is hoped that American ladies will
be apt students. The main Bureau of the
japanese Tea Guild has issued an official
recipe for making Japanese Tea, the transla-
ton of which is as follows:
First.-Use. small, dry and thoroughly
clean porcelain teapot
Second.-Put in one teaspoonful of tea
leaves for each cup of tea desired.
Third.-When using Japanese teas, pour
on the required quantity of fresh boiled wa
ter, and let stand with closed lid from
to 3 minutes: Never boil the leaves. In
order to retain the natural flavor, Japanese
tea leaves should be kept in tight can or
jar, free from moisture
Note.-To thoroughly enjoy the natural,
DELICATE and sweet flavor of japanese Teas,
neither sugar nor cream should be used.

ROADS IN GERMANY
The1r maintenance Fixed by Specific
Laws and ReEulatiOnx

Ihe1r maintenance Fixed by Specific
Laws and Regulations.
There is in Prussia and in the other
states corps of educated, highly
trained state employees who have made
roads their profession, and they know
their business. Constant repair is one
main reason for the condition of the
German roads. Comprehensive and mi.
mute regulations are strictly enforced
LII some provinces the village mayor is
held strictly responsible for the good
condition of all the roads in his dis
trict except the state roads. The work
OF repair is constant and the labor is
constantly supervised.
Another main reason why the build
ing of roads is carried out honestly is
the virtual absence of temptation to do
otherwise. The laws are very strict and
violations are severely punished by fine
and imprisonment.
There are three kinds of highways
the provincial, the Kreis and the &C.
meinde Wege. The former two are
those whose building and maintenance
rests on the shoulders of the provincial
Or district representative bodies. All
the rest are communal or private roads,
and the same strict regulations apply to
them as to the provincial roads.
In Prussia alone Sl1 100000 per an
mum is paid out of the public funds
for the maintenance of roads, and this
does not include the moneys expended
ny individual communes and by pri-
waite companies and individuals.
On the highest grade of public roads
it is forbidden to use vehicles
with protruding wheel nails, screws,
spokes or otherwise Objectionable gear.
The horseshoes must be of particular
kind. Heavy loads may not pass over
the roads without special permission.
The tolls exacted on the German
roads, though at one time generally i'm
posed, are now small and infrequent.
AS the maintenance Of the roads is fixed
by specific laws and regulations, so too
are the conditions of constructing new
coads.-N. Y. Evening Post.

1t seems a pity that some one we'll
primed with statistics does not take IN
the cause of Good Roads,. and the
Question of the Unemployed" com
bined. 1t seems strange indeed that
community will take no interest in the
welfare of its citizens, and see that they
are provided with employment where
by they may secure for themselves and
those dependent upon them the neces-
saries OF life until some offense against
the community has been committed.
1t must be admitted that no single
line of Improvement can lie mentioned
that can employ so many hands and give
such immense interest on the invest

\ standing offer of one dollar per
day for road work all over the United
States would practically annihilate the
army of unemployed, thus giving en-

valuation of taxable property all over
the country.
Many suggestions might be advanced
as to the methods of paying such a vast
army, and have no doubt but what one
can be evolved that would be both sim
pie and feasible.

ViTRiFlED BRICK.
Its Value rs n Paving Material n
Widely RccOgnized

Its Value as n Paving Material Now
Widely Recognized.
Vitrified brick is highly spoken of as
a paving material, in which capacity
it promises to become strong rival of
both asphalt and wood. The brick is
thoroughly annealed and blended, so
as to obtain the maximum degree of
hardness and toughness, together with
the minimum tendency to absorption of
water.
The bricks made from shale are the
best. The silica, alumina and iron they
contain give a material that is harder
than steel. It is the only substance that
will successfully resist the calks and
heels of the horses shoe. 1t wears uni
formly. AS the bricks are non-absorb-
ent and uniform in size they present an
absolutely water-tight pavement which
is easily cleaned by washing or sweep
ing, and affords the best sanitary pave
ment yet discovered. Brick pavings can
be easily repaired. They are compare
lively noiseless and less slippery than
either granite or asphalt. They have
been successfully used in Holland for
100 years, and in this country at Charles
ton, w. Va, without any repairs for Is
years. They are now the standard
pavement in many other cities.
One of the best tests for determining
the value of a brick for paving purposes
is the RATHER or abrasion test. The
bricks are put into foundry RATHER
together with 300 pounds of scrap iron,
and revolved for 200 revolutions. They
are weighed before and after. The per
centage of loss is said to be equal to 25
years wear in the street. In such tests
the Alabama-made brick lost 10 per
cent, while other bricks lost IL to
IS per cent.

MIX Cans Need GoodCnre,

+ The buttermaker, if up to. his bust
ness, can detect f-favored milk at the
receiving can, but cannot always tell
the cause. There are two causes that
are most prevalent. First, the cans are
not properly cleansed. Second, the milk
has not been properly cooled. The last
is the one we want the creamerymen
to talk to their patrons about. The
milk can be cooled in water even if no
ice is available, if the water is run
ming and the milk is stirred according
