Making and Serving Tea.

One Of the fads that has cropped
out with the settled habit of after
noon tea drinking is the serving OF
color2d bon-bons with the tea in place
of cube sugar. Some women make
these honhons. coloring them TO suit
the fitting Of the table and favoring
them with lemon or orange. Rock
candy is also used for this purpose
Lemon and tea are said to clear the
complexion. but if cne is very tired
the tea should be drunk clear or with
little milk and very slowly If one
ever noticed the epicurean comfort OF
an old tea drinker with a hot cup Of
tea one must have observed with what
deliberation the tea was taken. 1t is
a fault with many housewives to let
the tea stand too long after the water
goes on before serving. Seven min
utes is the prescribed limit of any
brand, and less than five is better with
all kinds. For second cup, where a
teapot is for the first service, a tea
ball or perforated teamaking spoon is
convenience.-Indianapolis News.

M actresses.

Mattresses. even though they are di-
vided, are very heavy and ungainly
to lht-that is, to turn as we'll as lift
from the beds. Many of them are
made with ticking handles which are
most convenient, but there are a great
many that are minus these handles,
which anyone can make and put on
the mattresses if they only think they
can and know how to do it. A quar-
ter Of yard of ticking cut into strips
three inches wide, folded and sewed
to each side Of the mattress with
strong linen thread, will not cost much
either in money or time. and will
prove the greatest comfort for the
woman to whose lot it falls to turn
mattresses. 1t is back-breaking job
at the best, and, if there is any way
to make it easier, it ought to be done.
Ticking handles will help very much
TO make it easie-.-Newark Call

Something of this indubitable power

The child mind transforms, the child

In the face of such statements one

Save all your brown paper bags. No
matter what size they may all be put
to use in this way When you are
canning or preserving and the time
has come to put the fruit away slip
the can into a brown paper bag that
will fit the can, tie the bag at the top,
write on the bag the contents of the
can. This way when you need the
fruit all you will have to do is to cut
