THE ART OF MAKING TEA.
Various Ways of Preparing and Serving
the Popular Drink.


The offering of cup of tea seems
about the simplest form of hospitality,
and on its face appears hardly capable
of affording much entertainment. 1t
remained for two ingenious girls to
find out a way of relieving afternoon
teas" of their moncton and rendering
them truly entertaia ming.
These girls had Travelled, and they
had observed that tea was served in
different ways in different countries.
Their idea was to prepare tea for their
guests after the method of other lands,
serving it in all the more interesting
ways in succession.
They began with the Russian sam
ovar and the slice of lemon or lime.
That was simple enough, but the next
tea was more novel. 1t was repro
duction of the Uruguayan mode of tea
drinking. The tea of that country was
used, prepared like Chinese tea, but
with the drinking came the really en-
tertaining part of the affair There
was something far removed from the
hackneyed in the sight of a group of
guests drinking tea through silver
tubes, each of which had at the end a
ball-like strainer, known as a bomba
or bombilla. 1t is little wonder. that
this tea was pronounced a success.
Next on the list was Mandarin tea,
in which a large artistic cup was set in
a brass or silver holder. In this cup
the tea was placed and covered with
boiling water. The process was con-
tinued by the placing of little saucer
inside the cup in an inverted position,
the saucer being of such a size that it
just fitted the cup and kept in the
steam and flavor Of the tea. When the
tea was drawn it was poured from the
big cup into dainty little ones no
larger than an eggshell.
A Java tea, served in broad, fiat cups
and favored with Batavia arrack, was
fourth on the programme, and was fol-
lowed by the Formosa, in which the tea
was stepped with tea flowers and one or
two orange flowers. The result was a
perfume and flavor of the most in
tense kind. One of the guests remark
ed that they were not drinking tea so
much as wedding bouquets.

The farther south one goes, the
earlier one finds marriages take place.
A census was taken lately in Algeria,
and it was found that the youngest
Arab married was twelve years old,
and that there were very many boys
who were married at thirteen and four
teen, while some at fifteen years of age
had several wives. There is a youth
full Algerian widower of fifteen and a
divorced husband of the same age.
Girls are still mora precious, and are
sometimes married when only eleven
years old, though twelve is the more
usual age. There are 1S9 widows of
fifteen, and 1,176 divorces of the same
age.

EMPRESS OF CHINA.
CLEVER BUT UNSCRUPULOUS WOMAN

The eyes of the civilized world are
turned upon her. Her will may pre-

Tuen is not the mother of the de-

with which she has treated the sacred
