Plants From BeIqium.

There is pathos in the fact, recently
announced by government officials.
that during the last three months
there have come to this country from
the most afflicted nation in the world.
larger numbers of beautiful plants
and flowers than from all the rest of
Europe combined.
Little Belgium, a smoking, desolate
waste, is seeking to save her flowers.
and she has taken the place which, in
times of peace, is held by France. The
plants are being sent to the United
States through Holland. After their
inspection for plant diseases, they are
turned over to brokers, who sell them
to individuals.

PROPER WAY TO BREW TEA
Matter That Housewives Do Not Seem
to Understand as Well as They
Should.

1t is unquestionably true that house
keepers would make better tea if they
knew more about the tea plant it
self The brief explanation below re-
veals the cause of sleeplessness, head
aches, etc.
Tea drinking is said to be on the in
crease, and when properly made, tea
forms a wholesome and refreshing
beverage but when made in that hap
hazard fashion so often demonstrated
in the average home, it results in the
discomfort of headaches, sleeplessness
and nerve troubles of various kinds.
Where, then, is the science in tea
making, you will ask. There are as
many as 20 different ingredients
found in tea, but those that concern
US chiefly are theme, alkaloid, tannin
and an aromatic OIL Theme is the
brain stimulant which causes the &C
ten of tea in our system.
Strong tea contains large percent
age of theme and can be taken by
few IL consequence. Tannin is the in
gredient which gives the bitter, as
tringent quality, which, if taken in ex-
cess, proves harmful. The aromatic
oil, of course, gives the flavor and
pleasant aroma which to large ex-
tent determines the value OF the tea.
The one fact that must be borne in
mind is that tannin will not dissolve
in hot water as quickly as theme, so
that after an infusion of from four to
six minutes most of the aromatic oil
and theme will have been drawn out,
but little tannin. This is what is
wanted to produce a drink that is
wholesome and soothing. If allowed
to brew longer than six minutes far
too much tannin is extracted, and the
partaker will suffer in some way,
either with indigestion or some such

PLAY FOOTBALL ON A TARl ::
Regular Rules Govern Game and
Score Is Also kept--OId and
Young Enjoy Pastime.

One of the funniest and most anus
ing games imaginable is that of play
ing football with an eggshell Imagine
it, But frail as the new kind of foot
ball is, it is rarely broken If the rules
of the game are adhered to- This
is most surprising, too, because the
rules of the game are pretty much the
same as those used on the real grid
iron. There is a difference in num-
beFs, however, for the players are
limited TO as many as can get about
the table, no more and no less, and not
even taking into consideration the size
of the table. A rule which will delight
the feminine side of the house is that
which admits girls as we'll as boys to
the game.
Make the football by making a tiny
hole in each end of the shell and blow
ing out the contents, and then mark
boundaries on the table field with tape
or chalk, having two ends of the table
for goals. Each side elects captain
and then the fun begins. At a given

blow upon the eggshell that has been
placed in the center Of the field Each
side tries, of course, to blow the egg
toward his goal. No player must leave
his place and it is most rigid rule
never to move the ball by any other
way than blowing. For so doing a
player is sent from the field as in the
actual game. Regular football rules
are used, and the score is kept as in
the real game. Each of the two teams
should have name, either ridiculous
or after some of the colleges or
schools. This always adds interest to
the contest Old and young equally
enjoy the game, especially if they I'M
