Not Strong Ten,

Since doctors inveigh strongly
against what they call the tea habit,
1t is interesting to read from an au-
thority that the beverage to be served
at afternoon receptions should not be
strong.
One-half teaspoonful to one cup of
foiled water is considered a good pro-
portion. Where a particularly choice
flavor is desired those who make the
concoction OF tea study claim that
L can only be secured by blending three
or four, or even more, brands together.
Connoisseurs, however, and by con-
olsseurs is meant those gentle danes
who give the most careful attention to
all the niceties of hospitality, even to
the simple thing of offering a cup of
tea, still cling to the brew from Orange
Pekoe, claiming that no brand quite
equals this in delicacy and richness of
flavor combined.

The arrest and fine of an influential
and defiant splitter in one of the street
cars of San Francisco is a striking
means of educating the public in mat
ters of health and decency. Consider
ing the few offenders who are punish
cd. and the vast number of transgres-
sors who escape, there is a great deal
Of missionary work to be accomplished.
In our own model city, where the
anti-spitting boom took its first round
nto favor the nuisance of promiscuous
splitting is almost as bad as ever. The
health board notices do no good what
ever If more arrests were made, it
would bring the matter of violation of
the ordinance most directly and most
torcibly to the attention of the people.
good way to start an efficient cru
sade against the spitters would be a
ietail Of policemen in citizens clothes,
who should disperse on certain car
ines and should Immediately arrest ev-
cry offender caught in the act. One
officer in one car of each of the differ
ant companies could make a record
which would astonish the public and
create a proper sentiment accordingly.
There is no reason Also for the con-
venience of such invalids as must eX-
pectorate, that properly disinfected
cuspidores should not be provided in
some out-of-the-way corner of the con-
7eyance. or in the larger cars that some
splitting closet should not be set apart
.or the spitters. The trouble of getting
up to expectorate would oftentimes as
sffectually settle the question to spit or
not to spit as 1t would to choose or
no the back of the neck OF a standing

Servants In Japan.

Servants are very cheap and very

has nothing to do and she lives like a
queen. The japanese cooks are far bet

Wheels for Women.

The best weight for a woman's
wheel is from twenty to twenty-five
pounds, and the smooth-running quail
tiles of all the trustworthy makes have
now reached so high q standard of ex-
cel!ence that there is little choice
among them. Generally speaking, it
is best to ride as high frame as pos
sible, so that there need not be many
inches of saddle-post let out above.
Besides the fact that it looks unsightly.
an exposure OF five or six inches of
this post tends to make the entire ma
:hine lacking in rigidity. Much de-
pends upon the proper adjustment of
The saddle, which should be perfectly
horizontal, tipped neither to the front
nor to the rear, and placed just high
enough to allow the leg TO be almost
Strengthened when the pedal is at it's
owest point. There are mahy excellent
saddles now made upon the most ap-
proved hygenic principles, and as
soon as woman finds one which is
comfortable, she need look no further.
The handlebars of the machine should
be well raised, so that the rider NAV
sit erect, and the handles should not
De too far apart. If there is plenty of
space between the bars and the saddle,
mounting and dismounting will be rem
dered much easier. The average wo-
man had better not undertake to ride
with a gear higher than sixty-six or
sixty-eight, because If she does, she
will find that the extra amount of
force which she has to put into every
push of the pedals is more exhausting
than the process of making a few more
revolutions with less effort in each
one. So much for the wheel ITSELF

For Late Autumn Bloom.

If Tuberoses in bud, about the end of
August, be very carefully lifted and
brought on slowly they will add to the
window garden at a season when ex-
ira help is much needed and appre-

at this time; sow the seed in August,
pot off singly as soon as of sufficient
size, and congratulate yourself on your
forethought when early winter winds
are bowling.

Moody Oh Journalism.

ID. l.. Moody, the great preach
err, is quoted as saying: cit is one
of the most enrolling and edu-
eating of professions. In my
opinion, every theological student
in the land ought to work on a
newspaper for at least year In
order to study human nature and
gain the knowledge that is i'm
possible to receive in the acade-
my, at college and in the semi
nary. That's the trouble with
preachers. They don't know
men to whom they are preaching,
and with whom they are dealing:
they haven't knowledge of hu.
man nature; the best way to &C
quire all of which is through
work on the press. So you see
| am believer in the newspaper
and of the great practical worl
which it performs You peop't
reach thousands where we reacf
hundreds, and the results arr
correspondingly large"

Make the Most of Yourself

1t is the duty of every man to
make the most of himself. What
ever his capacities may be, he is
sure to find some place where he
can be useful to himself and to
others. But he cannot reach his
highest usefulness without good
health and he cannot have good
health without pure blood. The
blood circulateS to every organ
and tissue and when it is pure,
rich and healthy it carries health
to the entire system, but if it is
impure it scatters disease where
ever it flows. Hoods Sasaparilla
is the one true blood purifier. 1t
cures salt rheum, scrofula, ca
tarrh, dyspepsia and rhematism
because these diseases have their
origin in the blood.

What Running a Paper Costs

The expenditure of newspaper
that is operated on a large scale
was as follows last year: Editorial
and literary matter, $3.50, 900;
local news, $500, 900; illustrations,
S1SO,OOO; correspondents, $685.
900; telegraph, $4,000; cable,
$4,000; mechanical department,
$41O, 800; paper, S6lS, 200; business
office, ink, rent, light, etc., $780,
900. This paper has a very ex-
pensive staff of editorial writer's,
but the $4,000 is largely for
special articles of a very miscel-
laneous character. Most papers
of the same class-the cheap
"great daily"-put about 2 per
cent. of their total expenditure on
this item.-From "The Business
