TO MAKE GOOD TEA
ESSENTIALS TO THE SUCCESS OF
THE BREW.
Care and Attention Necessary for the
Proper Preparation Of the De-
licious Beveragc-The
Ideal Way.

Surely nothing Is better on cold,
blustery afternoon in the winter
months than good. properly made
cup of tea. Nor can anything so slim
ulate jaded senses in the summer sea-
son than the same importation from
the east, served In any of several
ways. But there are few essentials
to the success of the brew which
American women fail to understand,
probably because the taste for the
drink, the solace and staff OF English
households, is comparatively new to
this country. No tea is drinkable by
any one with the slightest claims to
taste unless 1t has been freshly brewed
within the last 15 minutes, for In
stance. The water must have just
boiled for the first time, and only
boiled FIVE minutes at longest. The
teapot must be hot, the tea Ceylon
or some other black mixture, not the
green or Oolong varieties, II the best
is desired. English tea importers are
said to have spent fortunes in trying
to induce Americans to buy the best
teas, only to be thwarted by our stub
born preference for inferior and less
delicate fiavors. The ideal way to
have afternoon tea Is to serve 1t on
large tray, on low tea table hold
ing only the cups and saucers. On
the tray are the teapot, preferably of
the Brown Betty variety, the kettle
over a spirit lamp with the water just
about to boil when 1t Is poured In,
the tea caddy, the cream jug, and
sugar basin, and plate of hot muf-
fins or thin buttered toast. The host
ess heats the teapot, pours of the
water, and, measuring teaspoonful
of the tea to each person, with an
other "for the pot" she pours on
this the now briskly boiling water I'M
til the pot is nearly full. Then a
cosy hides the pot from sight for five
or six minutes, after which time
the liquid is exactly right, and for
tunate are those who can enjoy this
harmless and delicious beverage fresh
and hot. The quiet pause in the
course of a busy afternoon soothes
the senses and puts off indefinitely
the wrinkles of care and haste, so
often blemishing the brows OF our
strenuous danes of fashion.

THE CUBAN SITUATION.

Now that the disarmament OF the
revolutionists and the government
volunteers is progressing steadily, the
thoughtful portions of the public OF
all nationalities are animatedly dis
cussing the possibility Of Cuba's fu.
ture form OF government The desire
for annexation, which has been care,
fully concealed for the past four years,
Is now voiced openly. and the wish
that the United States retain some
measure of actual control In Cuban af-
fairs Is heard more insistently than
ever.
"Vive the Republic of Cuba" cried
Gov. Taft at the conclusion of an ad.
dress at the University of Havana.
This was the keynote o. his state
ment, which is taken IS an official
announcement.
1t Is certain that a sufficient force
Of American troops will be maintained
In Cuba to support the provisional
government and TO insure security to
life and property pending the estab-
lishment Of stable government by
the Cubans.
American troops are moving toward
Cuba. Mobilization of the force will
be at Newport News, Va, for the most
part, although a part of the first ex-
peditionary force to Cuba will be
sent from New York and Tampa,
Fla.
Former President Palma left the
capital so quietly that the public did
not realize he had gone until the
news was given in the afternoon pa
pers.
According to the testimony OF an
American named Harvey, formerly a
Roosevelt rough rider, who has been
with the insurgents. the amount of
actual fighting during this revolution
was really very small. Harvey says
that most Of the fighting he had seen
was between gamecocks. About ten
per cent. of Guerra's men carry fight
ing cocks tied to their saddles.

Chambers Joke on conkIlns.

Roscoe Conkling was a capital boxer

evening after considerable banter he
induced Senator Chandler to put on

Chandler for few rounds, much to
the discontinue Of the downeaster.
The latter bided his time and some
time later quietly brought a profes-
sioral pugilist to dinner where Conk-
ling was guest. In the course OF
the evening "Mr. Smith" was induced
to engage in a boxing bout with Mr..
Conkling. The professional danced
around the senator, landing when and
where he wished, playing with him as
he would with punching bag. The
elegant New York senator was dazed.
overwhelmed, Inundated, crushed.
When he surrendered and called
enough, as he did at last, Senator
Chandler smiled blandly and presented
the pugilist In his true colors.
