Dark Liquid Does Not Mean Excel
Iencc, and the Darker the Liquid
Is the More EVIL Are It's Effects.
Chinese Tea Is Said to he the Best.
Perhaps l may be allowed to make
some comments on a subject that Is of
interest to all homes-namely, a cup
of tea and the making OF 1t. The first
proposition Is that the dark color of
ten does not mean excellence, the sec
ond that the darker the liquid Is the
that the best toa Is Chinese. These
are the opinions of an importer. 1t is
worth noting, l think, that they are
also the scientific opinions and, fur
ther, that this is n case where doctors
agree What must properly be de-
scribed as the pharmacology of tea Is
simple and well understood, and rs 1t
concerns every one 1t may be briefly
discussed here.
For practical purposes tea consists
of two things, the first being fannie
acid, also known as tannln, and the
second being theme, also known rs
caffeine. Let US consider each of
these. The tannin, or fannie acid, Oc-
ours in the tea leaf, rs IN SO many
other plants. 1t Is less readily sol
uble than the theme and is much
less readily obtained from the Chinese
leaf than from the Indian, the latter,
together with the Cingalese, contain
ing much more OF this substance.
Tannic acid has no attractions for
the palate except in the case Of people
who like n little bitterness, and 1t has
no action on the nervous system, none
OF It. indeed, being absorbed by the
body. Its action upon the tissues with
which 1t comes into immediate contact
is wholly deleterIous. do not say that
ton there is is wholly bad. Notably
does 1t interfere with the dlgestibilty
OF foodstuffs. Plainly, therefore. chief
concern In the production Of the best
beverage from tea should be reduction
Of the tannic acid TO minimum. This
Is to be accomplished. first, by using
the leaf which contains least of II. and,
secondly. by sharply limiting the length
of the infusion. 1t has been clearly
proved that practically all the theme
that can be obtained from the leaf Is
obtained in the first three minutes,

DUDES OF OTHER TIMES.
Dress of a Dandy of the Early Nine

| A cure for the confirmed railer
against modern dress might be course
Of inspection through a file OF old
fashion magazines or the perusal of
such accounts as are given by the

description is that of a suit worn In
the first part of the nineteenth century.
The boots were an important article
OF dress. The toes were made as broad
as the ball of the foot, with the cor
ners well rounded. giving the shoe the
resemblance to the snout of a shovel
nosed shark. They were very snug and
required strong straps In order to get
into fashionable pair the heel OF the
stocking was well soaped and some
pulverized soap sprinkled into the boot
The length OF time 1t took to get one
on depended on the strength OF the
owner and the strap.
The stylish overcoat displayed five
capes, one above the other. The trou-
sers We're expected TO fit as tight as the
skin. Just how they We're put on is n
mystery. The coat was especially snug
under the sleeves, and the velvet collar
scraped up the back Of the head. TIE
camlet overcoats after q little wear,
became as stiff as birch bark.
The thing worn about the neck was
called a stock This name was appro-
pirate in its suggestion of an instru-
ment of punishment. The stock was
from three to six inches high, and was

pioneers of new continent 1t is
hallowed by the customs of our
people for nearly three centuries.
1t is recognized by churches of
every creed, aud has been en-
bodied in our laws as the great
annual American family festival of
Thanksgiving for the mercies,
prosperity and happiness of the
closing year The memories of
the years gone by of happy family
gatherings have especially en-.
deared the day to us all, having to
those, of whom there are so many
of us, who have migrated from the
scenes of their earlier years, a
peculiar significance Of the day
The president of the United
States has by his proclamation
designated Thursday, the twenty
ninth day Of November, for its OBJ
servance,
By the law of the nation, and by
the law Of Arizona, it is made Il
legal holiday of the people Of this
prosperous community, to enable
them fittingIy to observe and en-
Joy the ceremonies, all in their
own manner of Thanksgiving Day,

THE RESULT

The election Is over and the
smoke is clearing away. Joint
statehood has been overwhelming
ly defeated and Mark Smith elected
by a safe majority,
The democrats in Graham
county elected the entire ticket
with the possible exception OF
councilman, sheriff, one supervisor
and the district attorney. These
have possibly been defeated by
small margins,
The four republicans elected
are good men, but we venture to
say that the people will regret
their action, tor as general prop
ositiou, democratic administration
is better for the people than is re-
publican administration In fact
the condition of affairs in Graham
county at the present time is ample
proof of this fact.
