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 colored infusion
rather more astringent in taste thar
that from the average fair grade leaf
The taste for it is an acquired one
and eve if this tea could be made
commercially possible, it is doubtful il
it would ver become popular.
The American tea trade could ad
vantageously take a suggestion from
the brick tea OF the far east. In oul
country, the tea dust, some of which
is good quality, is snot 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

KITCHEN AND scuLLERY HINTS.
Good Suggestions for Important Part
of the House.

Here are some good suggestions for
your Kitchen: Have your shades and
curtains of white muslin that can be
launderei. When using your gas
stove in the summer, cover the top of
your coal range with newspapers,
which will make a handy table. Have
your rack near the stove, so that your
towels will get well dried after each
dish washing. A small shelf should
be put up a the stove to hold your
salt and pepper box. Cover the wall
back of your sink with oilcloth, pref
erably white, and here may be hung
your sing broom, shovel, dish mop
and soap box. In a box or drawer
may be kept the necessary articles
for ironing, says Woman's Life. The
top may be covered with oilcloth. and
VIII give an extra table. A chest of
drawers is useful and almost neces-
sary for keeping the kitchen towels
and aprons. besides many other use
full articles. 1t is well to keep in the
kitchen a bottle of linseed oil and lime
water, together with a roll of old
linen pieces for bandages, for use in
case of burns.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Never cook green vegetables with
the cover on, as it destroys the color.
When salad dressing is liable TO
curdle a small pinch of soda dropped
IN VIII prevent it from doing so.
TO keep %doughnuts from burning,
drop a piece of raw potato into the
boiling fat and you will have no
trouble with them.
v New stockings should always be
washed before being worn, for the
washing causes slight shrinkage and
makes them wear better.
Keep a pair of scissors and a waste
paper receptacle in the kitchen. Also
a box for pieces of string. They will
prove their use frequently.
In mixing a mustard poultice add
the white of az egg instead of water
and although the effect will be the
same it We not blister the skin.
If all bar soap is aired and summed
for a week or two before using it will
last about twice as long and not melt
away in the water without any visi.
