TIE ENGLISH TEA.HABIT.
How an American Business Man Tried
to Oyerturl a British Tradition.

A writer in Everybody's Magazine
tell the story of the collision OF an
American business man with the
English tea habit. He had gone to
London as the manager of one of the
biggest enterprises in which Ameri-
can money is invested. He was
formally introduced to all his heads
of departments on the first day ne
went to the office. After everybody
had strolled away and he had turned
to his desk, small clerkly-lookng
person approached him and said:
please, sir, l wish to know II we
can have some new tea rings"
Tea rings?" said the manager;
what in the name Of the Thames
Embankment are tea rings?'
Rings we put on the stove when
we make our tea, sir. Thank you. ~
When you make your tear
"Oh, yes, sir; we have our tea
regularly every afternoon Thank
you"
The manager looked into the tea
business. He found the clerk was
right. The whole Office force quit
work in the middle of the afternoon
and drank tea. The proposition did
not appeal to his American mind, SO
he issued an order stopping the tea
drinking. There was wild protest
Here was this American overturning
the precedents Of centuries. Here
was a man who dared to deprive the
Britons of their tea. The manager
held out for month and then capitu'
lated, for his board Of directors stooc
with the clerks. The directors drank
tea too. He rescinded the order
bought the new tea rings, and KEEP

He discovered that the tea-thirst Of
the clerks in his Offices cost the com
pany for gas used to brew it 1886

Nature has provided the stomach
with certain natural fluids known as
the digestive juices, and it is through
these juices that the food we eat is act
ed upon in such q way as to produce
the rich, red blood that flows through
the veins of our body and thereby
makes us strong, healthy and robust,
and it is the weakening OF these diges-
tive juices that destroys health. 1t is
our own fault if we destroy our own
health, and yet it is so easy for any
one to put the stomach out Of order

On Dyeiag Lace.
{Selected.)

No6eCLeuI
It has become the fad just now to
have the lace on the gown the same
shade as the material, so that there
will be an absolute blending Of color.
This effect is very hard to get, be-
cause one often picks up odd colored
silks, but it is quite different mat
ter when it comes to matching the
lace for it. 49,
The shops carry little variety, ow-
ing to the fact that there are SO
many tints that it would be impos-
sible to have them all, SO one has to
resort to home methods.
Buy tube of oil paint the desired
color: place the contents in a cup OF
gasoline. When dissolved pour into
a larger vessel.
Put small piece of lace in first to
see if it is the desired shade; if too
deep, add more gasolene. After dip
ping the lace into it shake gently and
hang it in the open air.
When thoroughly dry place before
a stove or hot register for few min
utes. This will take the disagree
able odor away.
Black lace is apt to get shabby In
a short time and turn a rusty tinge,
A very good way to freshen it uI
is to take two pair of old black kid
gloves and boil to pulp in quart
of water. This will leave a black
liquid, which hardens when cold.
Melt it down and dip the lace ir
when hot. Leave for a few seconds
then take out and hang on a line
When dry press with a hot iron.
