Many Kinds of Tea.

THERE is only one tea, yet there
l are many kinds of ''tea''-that is,
there are number of shrubs whose
leaves when "steeped" furnish a liquid
containing those elements" or "active
principles" or drugs which incline peo-
ple to drink tea. Many foods and bev-
erages contain things which. if taken
by themselves or in large enough guam
titles. are poison. Whether tea or
coffee or tobacco is injurious taken in
the way most persons use these things
has been debated for centuries and
there is no sign that the debate has
been closed.
Outside of the true tea. the most used
tea" is that called Paraguay tea, and
which is called by those who drink it
"mate''-which word is pronounced
mart Its active principle is caf-
fein, which is the active principle Of
tea and coffee. apd the element" which
gives tea and coffee the ''kick," or
quieting or stimulating effect. It is
said that there is not go much caffein

tains less tannin than tea or coffee.

Using Wood Scraps.

TN these days of high-priced lumber
the utilization of the small pieces
of wood assumes considerable i'm
portance.
Some furniture makers glue to-
gether small. clear pieces for the in
terror framework of bureaus, chif-
foniers, sideboards and similar ar
ticles. a
Wheelwrights save the ends cut
from spokes and shape them into
lathes for chisel, gimlet. auger and
other small tool handles. Wagon
builders, too, occasionally make use
of scraps of hard woods for lining
brake blocks. Sash and blind makers
save their scraps for the match rae.
tories, and larger pieces are worked
into corner blocks, rose docks ana
balustrades.
Coopers recut broken or defective
slaves Of the larger sizes, and make
kegs or smaller vessels OF them.
Small headings are made into dowels.
Basket makers save the cores from
which veneer has been cut and saw
them into thin stats for baskets and
crate covers.
Brush manufacturers have made
some headway in using waste from,
furniture factories, but the pieces
are of so many sizes and of such ir-
regular shapes that success mas been
only partial. A small porch chair
shop has been able to draw a con:
siderable part of its raw material
from the waste of boat. factories.
Some Of the makers on interior fin

wood scraps are made into parQuet
