HOW TO BREW
A CUP OF TEA.
The Secret of the Peculiar Flavor
and Aroma as Produced by the
OrfentaIs.
By wu Ting Fang, Chinese Mini.te,

By Wu Ting Fang. Chinese Minister.
These are the rules for making a cup
of tea, as laid down by WI Ting Fang,
the Chinese Minister, to a woman reporter
who recently called upon him to ask him a
few important questions on tea making.
ITO get down to the basic principles of
tea-brewing and tea-drinking as practiced
in China. you must realize that at home
we do not drink tea on stated occasions
or only at meals, as You do here. With
US tea is the national beverage.
! might almost say, speaking to an
American that tea is the ice-water of
China. Instead of the silver water cooler,
which constitutes an almost invariabIe
ornament Of your diningrooms. you Will
find everywhere in China the teapot
Whenever we are thirsty we have re-
course to the teapot instead of the cooler.
Let US first consider the teapot itself.

style, cost and dimensions in accordance

use of a special serum that the nominal
length of human life would be extended to
$50 years
1t seems to me that a great deal must
be changed before we would accept an ex-
tension of the term of human life to 80
years. Many things must be different be-
fore such an increased average of human
life could be practically maintained.

WAYS TO SERVE
THE EASTER EGG.

There Is no Time of the Year When
"Hen Fruit" Can be More Daintily
Prepared.
The Easter dishes that can be pre-
pared from eggs are almost countless.
A chef whose good fortune it is to pre-
pare dishes for the household of a
European monarch Is authority for the
statement that no less than one hum
dred and fifty different dishes can be
cooked, using eggs as the chief ingre-
dent.
1t is essential that all eggs used on
the table should be absolutely fresh.
In order to determine this point drop
the eggs into pan OF cold water. If
they are fresh they will sink, II not
they will float upon the surface.
Following are some recipes for the
choicest dishes that can be prepared
from the egg.
An Italian Recipe.
Prepare border as follows: Cut half
a medium onion into very small discs,
fry these with four ounces of butter
without coloring. then add four ounces
of rice; moisten with broth. then sea-
son to taste with salt, pepper and nut
meg; boil up, cover the saucepan and
push it into the oven for twenty min
utes. When the rice is cooked, stir it
I'D with fork and place it in but
tered border mold; press it down forci-
bly, in the mold, then unmold it into a
dish suitable to be put in the oven.
Garnish the center with eight hard
boiled eggs, each one cut lengthwise in
four. Prepare cream sauce not too
thick, season it properly and add to It
some finely chopped watercress or gar

to add q little more tea and little moro

/ to the proportions Of tea and water or az

5 matter Of Individual taste We use
black or green tea and have 1t either weak
or strong Just as our tastes direct.
I'VE never drink It boiling hot as is done
in America and England, put at a moder-
ate degree of warmth. To maintain this
desirable temperature. 1t Is customary to
cover the teapot with sort Of bag pad
ded with cotton and lined with silk A
similar arrangement IL often used In Eng
Land and is there known as cozy.'
This is the usual family manner Of pre-
pairing and drinking tea in China, but
when visitors come courtesy demands that
we should be a little more ceremonious.
Then we have the tea brewed in individual
cups. covered with dainty lids in order to
retain the heat and aroma.
The family teapot is simply emptied
and replenished every morning, and not
secured inside. as that would rob the yes
sci OF its delicate aroma In this way an
old teapot acquires a degree Of fragrance
that is analogous to the seasoning of a
pipe that has been long In use
I'VE would regard with horror the sug-
gestion that we should add anything to
the contents of our teapot beyond hot wat
er and tea" said the Minister, with visi-
BILE shudder. Imagine putting rum in tea,
as am told is sometimes done here, and
is said to be a common practice in Russia.
A cultured taste revolts from the thought
The idea Of milk and sugar is almost as
bad.
Just one hint more regarding tea and
I am DONE said Minister WI. "Remem-
Der that while there are expensive teas
and cheap teas, there are no really bad
tas except those that have been adulter-
ated with deleterious ingredients and this
very adulteration is practised solely TO
meet the taste, or lack of taste. of con-
sumers who persist in so spelling their tea
by the addition of such adulterants as rum
and milk and sugar.
If only they would drink their tea pure
as nature intended 1t to be drunk, they
would instantly detect any attempt at adj
liberation and that would be the end OF
the importation of impure teas

1t is absolutely necessary to exercise
in undress. The maids and matrons
of Gotham have adopted simple little
uniform consisting of baggy boomers
and loose blouse. Dressed in this they
perform their exercises night anS,
morning. They practice standing on
both feet, with abdomen drawn in and
bust extended; they also practice the
correct walk, with chin elevated.
A horizontal bar is by no means nee
essary, but it is inexpensive and very
useful as an exerciser. After little
practice it is easy to swing by the
hands from the bar, and in short
time the more athletic of the fair ath
letes are able to swing round and
round it.

OUR POLICY IN CHINA.

In our foreign intercourse the domi-
mart question has been the treatment Of
the Chinese problem. Apart from this
our relations with the powers have been
happy.
The recent troubles in China spring
from the antiforign agitation which for
the past three years has gained strength
in the northern provinces. Their origin
lies deep in the character Of the Chinese
races and in the traditions of their gov.
ernment. The Tai Ping rebellion and
the opening of Chinese ports to foreign
trade and settlement disturbed alike the
homogenity and the seclusion of China
The policy of the United States through
all the late trying period was clearly an
nounced and scrupulously carried out.
A circular note to the powers, dated July
sd, proclaimed our attitude on the con-
ditions in the north as one of virtual an.
archy, in which the great provinces of the
south and southeast had no share. We
regard the local authority in the latter
quarters as representing the Chinese peo-
pie with whom we mean to retain friend
ship. Our declared aims involved nolwar
against the Chinese nation. We adher-
red to the legitimate Office of rescuing the
imperiled legation, obtaining redress for
wrongs already suffered. securing wher-
ever possible the safety of American life
and property in China and preventing q
spread of the disorders of their recur.

| WASHINGTON. Dec. 3.-rhe message Of
the president as read to both houses oi
congress today is as follows:
10 the Senate and House of Representa-
tives:-
With the outgoing Of the old and the
incoming of the new century, you begin
the last session Of the ffty-sixth congress
with evidences on every hand Of individ-
ual and national prosperity and with
proof Of the growing strength and in
creasing power for the good Of republi-
can institutions. Your countrymen will
join with you in felicitation that Ameri-
can liberty is more firmly established
than ever before and that love for it and
the determination to preserve It are more
universal than at any former period Of
our history.
The republic was never so strong be-
cause never so strongly entrenched in
the hearts Of the people as now. The
CO -stitution with few amendments exists
as it left the hands Of the authors. The
additions which have been made to II
proclaim larger freedom and more ex-
tended citizenship. Popular government
has demonstrated in its I24 years of trial
here its stability and security and its ef-
ficiency as the best instrument of nation
al development and the best safeguard to
human rights. When the sixth congress
assembled November, 1900, the popnla-
ton of the United States was S, 3o8, ,383.
1t is now 76,3o4,799. Th.n we had six
teen states. Now we have forty-five.
Then our territory consisted of 9oo.os9
square miles. 1t is now 3,S46.s95 square
miles. Education, religion and morality
have kept pace with our advancement in
other directions and while extending its
power the government has adhered to its
foundation principles and abated none of
them fin dealing with our new peoples
aud possessions. A nation so preserved
and blessed gives reverent thanks to God
and invokes His guidance and the con-
tinuance of His care and favor.

Note-We have known Mr.. Ohappei for
a number OF years and 1t is no disparag-
ment to other men Of ability in North
east Washington, neither is it any re-
Election on them to say that he stands
out conspicuously as the ono man
whose opinion is most frequently
sought and most highly valued.
He came TO the Northeast section OF
Washington in 1872 with S17, 900,
which he invested there and he has
resided in the same locality oontin-
uously ever since.

ture was strong in 1872, and it has
continued uninterruptedly ever since,
being to-day stronger than ever.
He has built more than one hundred
and twenty-five and possibly as many
as one hundred and fifty houses in
the Northeast section, and they have
ell been well built, substantial stFuc-
lures that have found ready sale.
He is one of the largest if not thu
largest holder of real property in biz
section, and man whose word no ONT
disputes.
He is a member Of the Board OF
Trade and on active member OF the
Northeast Washington Citizens' Asso-
citation, besides being connected with
other organizations that make for
progress.
His success has not warped his
judgment, so that parties seeking his
advice can rely absolutely on what he
says. Suburban people who for any
cause desire to make change will
find in the reflections over Mr..
Chappel's signature much food for
thought and we commend them TO our
readers. Il Editor Suburban Citizen. ]
