proposed Institution is 10 be somewhat

About Tea.

The real reason for the different
color and flavor between green and
black teas is that in the green tea of
commerce the leaves are dried and
cured as quickly as possible after they
are picked and rolled, while the leaves
that are intended for black are ex.
posed to the action of the sun and air
for at least twenty-four hours before
being fired, being meanwhile raked
and tossed about until they become
soft, fleeced and plant; and again,
after being fired, they are exposed to
the oxidizing influences of the atmos.
phere in moist state for hours-in
short, in a sort of acknowledgements
viously to being fired second time.
These leaves are then dried over q
slow fire. The method of curing also
accounts for the effect that green tea
has on some persons-caused, it is be-
lieved, by the greater quantity of vol
atile oil, which, from the rapid process
OF curing, remains in the leaves.

Care Of Silverware.

The housekeepers of fifty years ago
considered it a careful housewives
duty to take care Of her own silver or
to direct its cleaning, if left to a SER
want, as many pieces were of priceless
value or heir-looms.
In the busy life of the women of to-
day, time seema to be too precious to
devote to such work, and knowledge is
made to take the place OF labor in the
intelligent household Instead OF
securing, and rubbing, and polishing
each piece OF silver, the service may be
cleaned in few minutes as effectively
as if an hour or two hours were devot-
ed to it. After each meal the silver
should be put in clean cedar tub or
dish-pan kept for the purpose and
covered with hot water, to which a
teaspoonful of powdered borax is add
ed, then taken out Immediately and
laid on soft linen cloth, and each
piece rubbed quickly with piece of
chamois skin.
Silver should never be rubbed with
flannel or cotton cloth. When not
used it will become furnished if ex-
posed to light and air; therefore, to
keep it in good condition, each piece
should be carefully wrapped in white
tissue paper. The plated ware will as
sumo new dignity treated in this
manner and will always look bright
and clean.
