Ysarnine For Light.

"When it comes to consuming
gas in large quantities blind pe6ple
can beat their seeing brethren all
hollow" said an inspector Of the
gas company. Il know two fami-
lies where both husband and wife
are blind. Every jet is turned on
full tilt in their homes at night and
is kept going at that rate clear up
to IL o'clock. Light and darkness
are all the same to the afflicted
ones, but they insist upon illumina-
tion brilliant enough for a recep-
ton. And that partiality for light
is not whim peculiar to those two
couples. Most blind people feel
that way. They demand the light,
and in all private homes and insti-
tutions where the blind are cared
for the gas bills vouch for the
strange fancy."-Exchange.

ENGLISH BEAUTY CUP.
Weak Tea Invites Sleep and Improved
the Complexion.

Weak Tea Invites Sleep and Improve,
the Complexion.
] advise those who consult me
upon the tired complexion to in.
dulge in what is called the English
beauty cup. Mr.. Gladstone took il
each night Of his life as long as he
had health, and it is the cup which
keeps many an English beauty 60
ing. 1t is simply tea, but tea made
without the nerve destroying at
tributes. If properly made it in
vites sleep.
You take half a small coffee
spoon of tea, and you scatter it ir
the bottom of a very large cup
The German coffee cups are best
for this purpose. Over this you
pour as much boiling, bubbling wa
ter as the cup will hold.
The saucer is placed on the tor
Of the cup in Chinese fashion. Nov
comes the big wadded tea cozy
which must be thrown over all. l.
is an oddly shaped cozy, made tc
cover cup and saucer. 1t stands for
f1ve minutes to steep.
s. Now comes the scientific part OF
the cup. You take three very thin
slices of lemon, and you lay them
In a big hot cup. On top Of the
slices of lemon you place a bic
mafaschino, and then on top of all
you pour in the tea, putting il
through a strainer.
The result will be a fine, weak,
hot, but healthful cup of tea with
just the right favor of lemon. You
can have sugar if you want it, and
Gladstone's rule Of three big Jumps
will do you no harm, for sugar is 9
great builder up of the muscles.
BY the way, If you are tagged out,
day or night, try eating a little
sugar. A lump of sugar will re-
store the stomach and take away
that tired feeling. Sugar is recon-
mended to women whose cheeks are
hollow. 1t has way Of building up
tissue.
A big cup of tea at night is ex-
cellent, but the trouble is that most
persons make it too strong. The
vesker the better. The same Il true
Of coffee, which, il taken weak
0pugh and with plenty Of good
sugar, acts as s.nightcap. Not one
