THE CUP THAT CHEERS.

Fortunately boiled tea is now prac-
tically a thing Of the past. and no one
needs to be warned not to keep the tea
pot on the fire after the hot water has
been poured on the tea leaves
To make a good cup Of tea you need
not have expensive tea In fact several
of the inexpensive standard brand teas,
and many OF the teas sold at tea stores
for a moderate cost, are OF as good
quality as the more expensive sort. The
important thing is to have the tea kept
fresh and dry and well protected in the
tea caddy.
The water for tea should be boiled
fresh directly before II is to be used
There is good ground for the saying that
water boiled twice makes inferior tea,
The teapot should be of earthenware
and just before the tea is to be orewed
it should be filled with hot water for
a minute to heat 1t. Then pour out the
water and add the tea-a teaspoonful for
each two persons and one for the pot is
a moderate allowance-and add the boil
ing water. Have the teapot placed so
that the boiling water can be poured on
the tea while it is still bUbbling. Tea
epicures say that they can tell tine dif-
ference between tea so b-ewed and tea
that has been made by carrying the Wa
ter from the flame even a little way 10
the teapot
Allow the tea infusion to stand a few
minutes, till it is the proper strength,
and then pour. The trouble with the
flavor OF tea often comes with the sec
ond cup for tea that has been long on
the leaves is too strong 10 be agreeable.
One way out OF this difficulty is through
the use of the new sort OF teapot which
by means Of a doublebase turns back
after the tea has brewcd to a suitable
strength so that the tea infusion can
stand in the teapot without touching the
tea leaves. These teapOts which were
originally a year or so ago an expensive
French novelty are now to be bought for
the price of any good teapot.
Ano .lcr good way 10 Keep tea from
growing zoo strong is to pour it Of from
the leaves when it has reached the
proper strength. Tea thus poured of
can even be kept hot over a low flame
without perceptably destroying the Cell
cacy OF its hrst fiavcf
The use OF a tcaho!: solves a good
many tea difficulties. But n teaball
should never be used except with a tea
kettle boiling ct hand. To attemS to
make good tea simply by using hot water
and the teaban is quite impossible.
Teapots should always be washed thor
oughly between each using-washed with
soap and hot water and dried thoroughly
and then allowed to dry In the air with
the cover off. Teaballs, too. and teastrain-
ers should be put through the same thor
ough cleansing process, ana remember. in
mal:Ig good tea, that the use OF per-
fectly fresh, dry tea, clean implements
and water that is actually boiling are
the things that spell success.

PREPARING GRAPEVINES
FOR THE NEXT YEARS FRUIT

old vine that has been handled the pre-
vious autumn as Indicated. As In its hrst
season, II has been trained TO a stake.
but only two Of the buds left in the au-
tumn have been allowed to develop.
These have grown fairly stout canes. with
some lateral branches They may now
be trained to treIlis. For greatest con-
venience in gathering fruit and In prun-
ing. as well as IN cultural practices, II IL
best to have the treIlis with two or
three horizontal wires one above the
other, the first about two feet from the
ground and the others about Is and 36
inches higher up This makes treilis
FIVE feet high. The lowest wire should
be size No. 9 or 10, the others size
smaller. The posts should be sunk deep
enough to have their bases below the
frost line of the locality so as TO prevent
their being heaved out OF the ground.
They should be not less than six feet apart
nor more than ten. On the lowest vine
the canes should be laid and fastened not
too tightly, with rama, strips OF cloth
or small, soft, pliable wire. One, cane
should extend to the right, the other TO
the left. Then all the growth except six
or eight joints adjacent to the wires must
be cut on.
When growth starts in the following
spring about half of the shoots-the weak
ones-should be cut on so as to make
the others stronger. Since each stout
end can be counted TO produce one to
three or four clusters Of fruit the number
left after this cutting will be ample for
the little vine to carry. Indeed, II VIII

to prevent the vine from sprawling over
a great area and failing to produce any

such slashing and yet produce well. Any
one can prune the grape successfully.

THE stars milne. but do not compel"
FRIDAY. o6TonER 30, 1914.
According to astrology this is not a
lucky day for most business activities
Uranus Jupiter and Saturh are adverse
and Neptune alone is friendly.
The aspect Of Neptune is read as most
encouragi ging to all Who are engaged in
world commerce. Shipping is subject to
a rule that will develop immense avenues
Of trade. Warning is given, however,
that avarice may cause serious difficult
ties.
There is a sign today that is believed
to indicate severe anxieties for the Presi-
dent Of the United States. who should
guard his health through the next
month.
There is a sinister prognostication for
miners persons who deal in land and
coal merchants. Saturn's evil power
may produce strikes, loss Of business
and, grave conditions in the industrial
world
In this connection intense activity on
the part Of Socialists is foretold. They
will make astonishing gains and will
achieve positions OF power within the
next year.
The confguration today is not a for
tunate one for bankers, fnanciers and
SPECTATORS.
It is predicted that although lack of
money may cause temporary depression
in certain centers Of population, period
Of prosperity will begin next month
when Venus. stationary in Sagittarius,
presages revival of trade.
Astrologers predict that new ODwns
will spring up in many States of the
West and South. Builders and architects
have a lucky leading. II is said
The rise Of famous educator is prog
nosticated. Reforms in public schools
are again indicated.
Publishing will be subject to many
vicissitudes in the next few months, the
seers declare. Certain magazines and
newspapers will benefit, but others will
suffer severe losses. Makers of books
in this country will face problems which
affect American authors so vitality that
only the best will obtain publication.
Persons whose birthdate IT is have
the augury of anxiety and activity dur
ing the coming year. Speculation wIll
be unfortunate.
Children born on this day may be care
less and extravagant. fond of company
and quick of wit. Many surgeons and
engineers are born under their sign,

In the temperate zone It is good plan
to begin preparing grapeyines for the
crop OF the following year as soon as
the leaves have fallen. The most i'm
portant work In grape growing not only
can be done In the autumn, but must be
done then or at least before the. first
sign OF growth is observed in the spring
before pussy willows begin to cast on
their overcoats. II left until after that
the vines will 'tiow'' from every cut.
Whether or not this flow" is Injurious
is a disputed point among horticulturists,
but all are agreed that It is at least not
desirable, and experience proves that 1t
can be wholly avoided by pruning far
enough ahead Of the opening Of spring
to permit the cuts to dry out somewhat
and thus contract the tiny vessels that
carry the sap. Therefore It is well to
allow at least three weeks to elapse be-
tween pruning and the advent Of spring.
Trimming and Stalking.
Let US suppose that we have vines Of
several ages to prune; each will require
somewhat different handling II we really
want to make the most out Of our
plantation. Here we have a vine planted
last spring. Very properly 1t has been
grown upon q stake, and all we have
is q spindly very pliable stem with per-
haps q few slender lateral branches. All
must be cut away except a maximum Of
five or six joints with the buds that ap-
pear at the joints themselves. II moth
ing moro is done, there is a possibility
of injurihg the vine In winter because
1t is so small it can easily be trampled
on accidentally. Therefore 1t is a good
plan to set another stake or two beside
II or to provide a shelter Of barrel or
keg slaves. But even this may not be
enough with the semi-tender varieties
such as Delaware and Niagara These
varieties should have a mulch of straw
or preferably marsh hay Cbecause Of
its freedow from weed seeds) fully a
yard across and three to five inches
deep. Not that the stem OF the vine
needs this protection, but the roots may,
because while small the alternate freeZ-
ing and thawing Of the ground in the
winter may snap the roots and thus seri-
ously injure the little plant

Forty minutes OF modern society or
ballroom dancing will be a part of the
program which Mile. Anna Paylowa
and her troupe of Russian dancers
and complete symphony orchestra will
present here. During the soiree Mile.
PavlOwa and her entire company will
introduce the three new society dances
which she has originated during the
summer.
Mile. Pavlowa undertook the stand
ardiZation of ballroom dancing at the
urgent request Of many social and
club leaders. and in her creations she
has eliminated the Objectionable fea-
lures OF many Of the so-called new
society dances. notably the close bodily
contact of the dancers.
The scene for the soiree is replica
of the salon of the Savoy. London, said
to be the most beautiful ballroom in
the world. The costumes for this soiree
were designed and made especially for
Pavlowa by Paquin, the famous Paris
ian gownmaker. These gowns will be
the last word in evening attire, and
this feature Of Pavlowa's program
should prove of exceptional interest to
the ladies.
Pavlowas program also includes six
new ballets and ten new divertis-
sements. making the most comprehen-
sive choreOgraphic entertainment ever
offered.

Keeping the Hands Soft.

It is very difficult to keep the hands
soft in frosty weather. especially II
one is ones own housemaid.
An inexpensive wash II one has some
left over milk on hand Is to soak them
in warm milk. A bottle Of glycerin
and rose water kept on the bathroom
shelf and applied when the hands are
wet after washing, will help also. Vase
line may promote a growth Of hair on
the hands. but there is nothing better
for loOsening dirt under the nails than
a little vaseline pushed under the nail
at night before retiring; it not only re-
moves the soil, but lubTicates the nail
itself and prevents it from becoming
brittle.

advisable to wear an old pair Of wash
able gloves when tucking in the sheets.
