Submarine mine fields were adopted so
generally as a method-and in some cases
as the only available method-of harbor
defense during the late war with Spain
that most people will, we think, be in
terested in examining the accompanying
views of mine explosions photographed
while removing the mine fields in Balti-
more harbor after hostiIities ceased.
These photographs were secured by Lieu
tenant Charles w. Kutz, United States
Engineers, who had charge of the work
Of removing the mines which defended
that port
As most of our readers will probably re-
member, it was found after the war that
it would be too dangerous to raise the
mines in many places, owing. to the fact
that the openings provided were too
small to remove the dynamite from the
shell without risk of explosion. 1t was,
therefore, decided to explode the mines
as the safest method

the graceful task can be delegated. The
tone of the whole function is easy so
ciability This is especially marked IN
the English country house where sports
men, who have been out with dogs and
gamekeeper all day, are allowed to drift
into the drawing room in splashing gait
ers and knickerbockers, for chat and
cup of hot tea before going off-to dress
for dinner.
AS accomplishments to the tea we have
a basket of light cakes or biscuits, thin
bread and butter and now and then but
tered scones, or tea cakes" Anything
more elaborate mars the simplicity of the
custom, perverting it into an occasion. l"
It ceases to be afternoon tea, rest sta
ton between the 1 o'clock luncheon and
the 7 or o'clock dinner
1t is a wholesome symptom IN our few
erish social system that this beneficial
break in the diurnaI rush and press fur
nished by afternoon tea time is becoming
more and more prevalent In tens of
thousands of homes in city and in coun>
try o'clock brings together the scat
tered parts of the home circle in the liv
ing room. Jaunty wicker stands, three
and four storied, for holding plates of
fancy biscuits, thin bread and butter,
cake and crisp strips of lightly buttered
toast spread with anchovy Taste, have
crept into conservative drawing rooms;
tea kettle, teapot and their appurtenances
appear duly at the stroke of the hour
and visitors who happen~to call at that
time are cordially made welcome to the
grateful refreshment. '"Tea" is always
there, no matter who comes or goes, and
it typifies what we need more than all
else besides in a land where labor is the
rule and relaxation the exception-home
joys, home comfort, home rest.

afternoon tea lends itself to numberlesS
pleasing variations. Served upon ve-
randa or lawn, iced tea, with or with
out lemon, is the most delicious and most
innocent beverage that ever mitigated
summer thirst and cleansed the dust Of
travel from parched throats. The aroma
blends lovingly with the scent of mown
grass and June roses and all-the-season>
round honeysuckles.
The rule of three holds good in tea
making and pouring:
F'irst-Buy a good brand of tea.
Seeondly-The water must be boiling,
and on a fresh boil at that, before 1t has
hissed itself into flatness.
Thirdly-Pour out as soon as it is made.
Tea left to stand upon the leaves is
charged with tannic acid, signifying bit
