GRINDING TEA INTO POWDER.
Makes as ood, II Not Better, Bever
age Than the Whole Leaf.

History tells us that when coffee
was first brought to the cities Of
Western Europe the first makers Of
1t were Turks. They roasted and
ground the berries and served the
liquor as 1t is served TO this day in
the East--grits and all. We still
drink coffee as we drank 1t then,
with this difference, that we mostly
omit the grits and drink an infusion
instead of q decoction. II was not
so with tea. No Chinaman was Inn
ported with the first pound Of tea
to teach us how to make and drink
IL. The consequence has been wat
we have never drunk tea in the Chin
ese way-that is, as simple infus'
ion.
At first there seems to have been
great doubt as to how to deal with the
new herb. IL is even said that 1t
was sometimes boiled, with spinach
The old phrase, "a dish of tea" seems
to bear out this legend. Finally 1t
came to be settled that the most
wholesome and pleasant way to treat
the tea leaf was to make 1t into a
kind of sweet soup, with sugar and
milk or cream. have personal
knowledge of no country in Europe
but one where tea is used as in
China-Portugal, which got its knowl-
edge of tea making from a province
of China, with which at that time no
other nation Of Europe was in con-
tact.
1t was while travelling on horseback
with guide in the wilder parts of
Portugal, away from the shops and
inns, where we had perforce to make
experiments in the most economical
use of the few ounces of tea and cof-
fee that we could afford TO carry with
us, that we hit upon discovery.
Having no milk we drank our tea as
most Portuguese drink theirs, as a
simple infusion, sweetened with su-
gar.
remembered to have read, be-
lieye in the travels Of Able Hue, that
when the Chinese desire to be thrifty
in the use of the finer and more ex.
pensiye teas they grind the leaf to
powder and use less for the Infusion
We found that tea could be ground in
a coffee mill as easily as coffee; that
tea made with the powder is as good
as or better than when made with
the whole leaf, and that the powder,
as 1t naturally would, goes further
than the tea leaf-ISondon Times.
Nh The Defective Flue.
SO often this is the cause OF fires,
and when II is. the fire. as a rule,
gains great headway before 1t is dis
covered Cheap fireclay should be
used to line all hues. II is powder
to be mixed with water that forms a
hard cement and II can be used In
the coal or wood stove TO fill cracks,
or around the fue Flues are often
improperly built with thin brick work
and bad mortar which soon burns out
crumbles and drops out, leaving the
joints open. and a fire usually follows
such conditions. Ten cents worth OF
cement or fireclay may save thous-
ands OF dollars. and everyone should
examine the fiues and chimneys be-
fore fall fires are started in stoves
and CRATES.

THE DAILY TELEGRAM
FRIDAY. MAY 20, 1908.
Mobblng the Umpire.

The disgraceful assault upon UNI
pire Gibbs at the close Of the base
ball game at Union park yesterday
afternoon deserves the severest CON
domination of all persons who have
the slightest appreciation OF fairness,
justice, peace and the common laws
Of morality, to say nothing OF the
written laws Of the land. Every per-
son who took part in the attacks up
on Mr.. Gibbs should properly be fill
ed with such sense Of shame and
modification that he should first
apologize to the victim OF the as
sault and then go before magis-
rtate, plead guilty to assault and bat
terry and suffer the penalties provided
by the law.
1t is with feeling OF chagrin that
the Telegram is impeled to make
these remarks, but certainly they are
called for in view OF the shameful
actions Of those who INDUCED in the
rowdylsm at the park. Not only
does such disorderly conduct injure
the reputation Of league baseball and
the name Of the city and Its people,
but 4ts practice is attended with the
possibilities Of grave danger to the
umpire, and perhaps might result in
his death or serious injury. Shame
upon any one who would incite such
rutfianlsm
1t should be the duty of those In
charge OF the park to see that the
ground policemen carefully watch for
any outbreaks OF this nature and
when they do occur, those who take
any part in them should be prosecut-
ed to the extent OF the law.

May Not BE Loyal.

For party regularity the Wheeling
IntelllgenCer Is not there with the
goods. At this particular time 1t Is
engaged in telling its readers that It
may not support the Republican
nominee for governor. Here is a
specimen Of It's utterances and a
fresh morsel for the Democrats, who
relish the same very much:
"The Intcligenccr has not been
able to see in either Mr.. Scherr or
Mr.. Swishcr the ideal Republican can
didate for governor, and it does not
feel called upon to become the active
champion Of either cause. When It
does change from this position, If It
does, it Will do SO in such manner
that there will be no doubt as to It's
exact meaning"
The assertion as to both SCherr and
Swisher is impertinent to say the
least. Both have shown themselves
equal to the duties Of the high posi-
tions they now hold and no man who
knows either will agree with the In.
telligencer.
Possibly, the one great reason the
Intelligencer does not approve Of
their candidates. is, both have made
their campaign Independent of the
Intelllgencer, which gives evidence
every day that it thinks most of those
who are subservient to it.
But, the fact that they have not
identified themselves with the In
telligenCer is no good reason and
does not warrant that that paper,
with professed allegiance to the Re-
publican party should do things
which aid the Democrats.

Under difficulty the ladies took up

to push it through and achieve the
desired result. After months Of I'M
firing effort and undying enthusiasm
they succeeded and today, are to be
congratulated most heartily on the
success Of the movement.
The cooperation Of The citizens
generally is shown by the fact that
the monument is erected and the in
terest shown in the unwilling Is mani
fest by the civic pride in putting the
city in gala attire, and making other
preparations for a royal welcome to
all the throngs of visitors, who are
to be here for the occasion.
