Virginia's Share of Bridge Cost.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Can The Star inform it's readers why in
the cases Of all bridges constructed and
contemplated between the District of CO.
lumbia and Virginia. the last named state
is invariably exempt from any expense in
Cured? 1t is proposed to tax the District
with one-half of the cost, some half million
dollars, of the contemplated new Aqueduct
bridge; the federal government to pay the
other half. In all interstate structures of
this kind it is the practice that the ex-
pense Is shared by the abutting states. In
this case Virginia ought in all equity be re-
quired to pay at least one-third of the
cost and the Districts share should not
exceed one-third. TAXPAYER.

DllutlnU Ten,

Few housekeepers remember. as they
should, that when It is necessary to
dilute strong tea 1t should be done with
water at the boiling point. The poor
flavor of tea, made strong at first and
then reduced, such as is too often serv-
ed Mt receptions and Eat homes" Is
usually caused by the addition of hot,
not boiling, water to the first infusion.
A lesson In this matter may be had
from the Russians, who serve the most
delicious tea In the world, and who pre-
pare 1t first very strong, making 1t al
most an essence Of tea. This Is diluted
to the strength wished, with water
kept boiling In the samovar. This
water is not allowed to boil and rebOll,
but is renewed as needed. Freshly
boiled water Is insisted upon by all
connolsseurs In teamaking.

odor. Tina, permeate Eoodstun..

a fish dealer In one of the most styl-
lsh parts Of New York was deeply hurt
and badly worried one day by the com
plant Of one of his big customers that
fine salmon which he had sent to the
house for n big dinner had proved to
be entirely uneatable when served ow-
ing to most penetrating taste Of creo-
sote that pervaded 1t. The fish dealer
realized, although the charge was not
made directly, that he was more than
suspected of having sold stale fish
that had been washed or brushed with
an antiseptic preparation to hide Its
condition. He knew that the salmon
had been perfectly fresh when he sold
It. and for days he puzzled In vain over
the problem, But suddenly he remem-
bered that on the day the fish was sent
out a tank wagon full Of creosote had
stopped before his place and that his
cart, into which the fish was being
placed. was directly alongside Of the
powerful stuff. That appears to have
been enough to permeate the delicate
flesh of the fsh.-New York Press.

Ceilings and Ventilation.

Rooms with low ceilings or with cell
ings even with the window tops are
susceptible of more perfect ventilation
than those with high ceilings. In such
rooms the leakage at the windows,
which is constantly going on, keeps the
air in motion throughout the room,
whereas If the ceiling is higher only the
lower part Of the air is moved, and an
inverted lake Of foul and hot air Is left
floating in the space above the window
tops. This lake, under the law of dlf.
fusion of gases, keeps actively at work,
fouling the fresh currents circulating
beneath IL.
