Paris Not Always First.

The European edition of the New
York Herald has long article (repub-
lished in New York Herald OF March 81
on the relative merits of China and
Ceylon tea, and how tea is stepped in
Paris--the city which is popularity sup
posed to lead the world in fashions and
matters of taste. The article in ques-
tion says:
China tea has a coaTser taste, and
you might, under similar circumstances,
think il stronger but in reality it is
not. 1t is perfectly certain that Ceylon
tea is better and more popular. and
can be made stronger than any other
kind though for ordinary
tastes you would have to usa q less
quantity to make a strong cup of tea.
"Ceylon tea does not require to steep
more than three minutes, while China
tea takes four minutes. To make tea
at home, the proper way is to have
two earthenWare teapots, heating on
first and then putting the tea in, pour,
ing freshly boiled water on it, and
sleeping as above. Then pour off the
tea into the ether tea pot, having the
latter hot and dry, Tea thus made
may stand as lCng as you like, and il is
always good. sleeping tea too long re-
leases the tannin, which gives the liquid
pungent, sometimes a bitter flavor"
This is given as a new departure in
the art of tea brewing in gay Paris
For years "TiVe o'clock teas" have
been a popular and pleasant social
function in this country, and not only
there, but at the daily meals, tea is
brewed that way. The dainty and fas-
tidious American ladies learned the art
of How to make tea" long before theiI
