TEA FROM THE FLOWERS.
This Product Little Known in the
United States.

Tea, not from leaves, but from the
flowers alone Of the plant, is rarely en-
countered in commerce. The petals,
stamens, etc, are sun dried, and the
resulting tea is of a rich, deep brown
hue of peculiarly delicate odor, and
gives a pale amber coIored infusion
rather more astringent in taste than
that from the average fair grade leaf
The taste for it is an acquired one,
and even if this tea could be made
commercially possible, it is doubtful If
it would ever become popular.
The American tea trade could ad-
vantageously take a suggestion from
the brick tea of the far east. In our
country, the tea dust, some of which
is good quality, is not properly
utilized. In Europe it is a regular
article Of trade, and it is advertised
and sold as tea dust. In America it Is
sold to thousands of cheap restau-
rants, who make from it the mixture
of tanic acid sugar and boiled milk
which they sell as tea" If, as in the
orient this dust was compressed into
bricks, good tea could be made from

Position of Anti-Saloon Men.

The provision of the Baker saloon
license law which provides that there
shall be but one saloon to every 2oO
residences and otherwise regulating
the manner of licensing saloons was
injected in the measure by the brew
ing interests" said w. G.. Humphrey
superintendent of the Wisconsin Anti
saloon league. The law as advocated
by the league originally simply con
tanned the provision TO allow residence
districts to determine whether there
should be saloons licensed therein or
not. The league has not determined
upon what course will be pursued IN
regard to the granting OF licenses Tor
places where no saloons were located
on June 30. 1t is our intention, how
ever. to fight for the absolute obsery'
ance Of every provision of the law and
after full investigation if we believe
that any will test the licenses in
courts Our ultimate aim is the
adjustment of the liquor traffic in this
state, but we recognize that this can
not be done in day We are finding
much encouragement in stimulating
public sentiment against saloon bust
ness. especially on the part of the
business men, and every year finds the
public opinion stronger. The limiting
Of the number OF saloons as advocated
by the big brewers is certainly a move
in favor of reform As to the question
of fairness as between the brewers
and independent salounkeepers, that
is something in which we are not in
teresting ourselves except insofar as
the public will be the more ready tc
oppose a saloon owned by big brew
cry than one owned and conducted by
a comparatively poor man who has nc
other means of support"

Thrown from Track on Bridge.

Applcton.--A hundred passengers
on a Milwaukee road train were
thrown into panic on the high
bridge crossing the river when the en-
gine and entire train jumped the track
and bumped along on the ties for some
distance The derailment was caused
by the space between the rails Of the
drawbridgc and bridge proper being
too narrow to allow the proper eXpan-
sion as result Of the extreme heat.
1t is considered remarkable that the
train did not plunge into the river.
