TEA FROM THE EFLOWERs.
This Product Little Known in tho
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 rich, deep brown
hue of peculiarly delicate odor, and
gives a pale amber colored 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 il
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

Well Named Smoky City.

Pittsburg, the second city in size
in Pennsylvania, which was named in
honor of the prime minister of Eng
land, after Fort Duquesne, built on
spot by the French, had been captured
by the English in 1853, derived the
pane of Smoky City from the i'm
mense consumption of soft coal, due
to the great iron and steel industries
centered there. It is told in the old
days that a traveller to the west, when
he passed through Pittsburg, sup
posed that he had gone through long
tunnel in the Alleghenies. There was
much relief from the smoky condi-
tions for a period when natural gas
was used in the city furnaces, but the
lack of supply in so great abundance
of it's use in place Of soft coal led to
return to former conditions, and
now the name Smoky City adheres
more firmly than ever to the place.
