TEA A LA DEWEY.

The Admiral Has Confessed to Being
a Lifelong Lover of the Beverage.
Tea is made In many different ways.
For example, there is French tea take
four teaspoonfuls of tea, four cups of boil
ing water and one square of cut sugar.
Steep five to eight minutes and serve with
out cream or sugar.
A DIR. johnson cup of tea is made BY
pulverizing the tea leaves moisten with
cold water and let it stand Is minutes;
add boiling water and serve at once, with
cream and sugar.
For tea a la Dewey, take the Juice Of
three lemons, three oranges, one pineep-
pie, shredded or grated a Wlne-glasstul
of preserved strawberries or cherries one
tablespoonful of Ceylon tea. and pour over
all one quart of boiling water; steep for
Is minutes before serving.
MIX tea: Infuse with a little boiling
water and then fill the pot with boiling
milk.
You can not have good tea unless you
use freshly boiled water Water that has
been boiled for any length of time lacks
life and gives dull taste to the decoc-
ton. Use freshly filtered water, and let 1t
come to hard boil. The Russians carry
a very strong tea, and then dilute to the
strength required, using water which is
kept boiling. Water taken from the ket-
tie and kept in a pot where it falls below
the boiling point will not give good results
in diluting a strong infusion.
Six minutes, an authority says, is the
proper length of time for tea TO intuse.
This is time enough to bring out the
flavor quality and strength.
An earthenware teapot is the ideal one.
A pound of tea should make 12S cups.
Bring little arithmetic to bear upon the
subject, and you will know the price per
cup of the particular kind OF tea you
drink.
Tea easily and quickly absorbs any for
eign flavors, and therefore 1t should be
kept in a jar securely closed in warm
dry place. Unnecessary exposure to the
air must be avoided.
Admiral Dewey confesses to being a
lifelong tea drinker" At Colombo 1OW
pounds of tea were presented to the crew
of the Olympia.

Mrs. Townsend of New York Commits
This Crime Against the Emperor
Of Japan.
New York, Sept lin the apartment
of Mrs. w. R. Townsend, an American
lady who has recently returned from an
extended visit to Japan. there was exhib-
tied a few days since certain japanese
art treasures that for their extreme rar-
ity and value are probably not surpassed
in any private collection. The majority
of people have for some time been made
increasingly familiar with the exquisite
embroidery of the japanese. but of Japa-
nese tapestry, except in small and unim-
portant pieces, little has been brought to
the United States. In Mrs. Townsends
collection there is a Buddhist priests
robe Of silken tapestry, seven feet long
by four feet wide, reputed to have come
from Nara, and TO be 800 years old.
1t would seem that, as a rule, the
priests robes in Japan are made in pieces
stitched together, the number of pieces
deuoting the priestly rank; but this par
ticular robe has the popularity of being
woven entire, thus strangely resembling
the ancient Gobelin tapestry of Europe,

a Breathing Apparatus for stone
Cutters. Lead Grinders and Others.

4 Breathing Apparatus for stone
Cutters, Lead Grinders and Others.
The latest lfe-saving invention is a
breathing apparatus invented by Prof.
julius Wolff of Gros-G -Gerau, near Darn
stadt, Germany. 1t consist of a silver (or
cellulold) nose-piece which fits easily over
the nostrils and Is held in place by an
elastic band passing over the head, and a
cylinder or parchment-paper, six feet long
with an air-hlter at its outer end This
end is put through a hole In the window
and the wearer of the apparatus can in
hale nothing but the purest air, if he keeps
his mouth closed. When he exhales air
certain fianges in the nasal-attachment
close and the foul air is discharged into
the room from which 1t passes off by the
door or venulators in the roof. The entire
apparatus weighs but 80 gramms when
made of silver, and less If made of cellu-
loid
The value of the invention is greatest
to those engaged in such industries as
have proved fatal to the workmen For
lense- grinders, who inhale the fine parti-
cles of glass, or for lead-grinders stone
cutters, and other similar pursuits this
device must prove invaluable. Even In
cases OF illness, when 1t is necessary to
have fresh air without the least draught
this invention should prove most salutary.
In the picture the inventor IS shown using
his device while he sits at his table writ
ing, and perhaps even for healthy persons
engaged IN sedentary occupations and pre-
vented from being in the open air as much
as they ought to be the invention may
prove Of value. Il certainly prevents that
worst OF AN dlsease-breeders, the breathing
of air which has become foul from pre-
Vious use,

An OdorIess window Kitchen.

A neat little window kitchen is the in
vention of an ingenious woman who was
compelled to do light housekeeping in one
room In which there We're no modern inn
provements. After struggling for some
months with a small table and a gas stove,
she discovered that no matter how much
care was exercised, light Housekeeping
would leave heavy odors. They were al
ways there to tell the tale after meals had
been cleared, and the gas stove, pots and
pans had been carefully hidden away. But
she finally hit upon a plan that makes
light housekeeping odorless, easy and
practical even if the keeper has only one
small room.
She had a little box kitchen built out
side of the lower part of her window. In
this there were two shelves, the lower for
a gas stove and the upper for variety OF
culinary utensils. The window kitchen is
a miniature extension, and can be made
out of a strong pine packing box and at
tached outside of almost any ordinary win
down. 1t must be firmly screwed to the
wood work on either side, and the top
slanted and covered with tar paper. A row
of holes about an inch in diameter should
be bored through each partition of the
miniature kitchen, to assure good ventila-

Winter Use of Lace.
Every resource will be exhausted in
order to enable us to escape from any
use of braids while the more lace there
is appropriately introduced in a costume
the nearer the perfection of the moment
airy style is gained. Looking over a Sc
ries OF the earliest models, one finds lace
without exception introduced in yokes or
vests, reVers collars or scarf like drap-
cry around the top of every cloth BASQUE
and heavy time yellow lace is the unva-
rying choice of the dressmakers. Imita-
ton antique guipure, old yellow Bucks
lace and an artistic arrangement of mar
row braid on coarse cream net, called
Spanish point, are those that combine
most happily with rough or smooth, dark
materials None of these are prohibitively
expensive despite their air of mellow ricn-
ness, and milliners now feel free to say
that many of the most captivating hats

TO lace frills and bows and strings.

Almost equally interesting in this col
lection are the p eces Of imperial japanese
porcelain, procured by Mrs. Townsend
with the greatest difficulty, as it is an Of
fense of lese majeste TO possess the same
without permission far more to offer any
for sale.
This imperial porcelain, a delicate blue
and white ware Of extremely hard sub
stance, yet taking on the softest of enamel
polish, is manufactured in the Arita dis
trlct, near Nagasabi, under the direction
Of an official whose duty 1t is to examine
each piece as it comes from the kiln with
magnifying glass, 50 that no imperfect
specimens may be sent to disgrace the ta-
be of the emperor All rejected pieces
are then smashed, in order that none may
find their way into the market.
Every cup and bowl OF this porcelain
bears the imperial crest, a sixteen pete. ed
chrysanthemum, which it is a high crime
for any subject to make use of in Japan,
that is to say, exactly the same design
as that of the emperor.
1t is true that a chrysanthenum of
sixteen petals may occasionally be met
win upon piece or china even in a Jap
anese curio store in New York, and per-
haps offered for sale TO the uinitated as
japanese porcelain; but on close examina-
ton 1t Will be observed that there is some
slight difference in the design sufficient
to escape the effect of the autocratic law
of the Orient; for either there will be few,
er or more petals the interior circle will
be shaded instead of open, or the outer
rim viii be a complete circle instead of
the little curves which in this royal flower
are noticeable.
