MAKING TEA. •
There is but ono, rigiht way of doing
anything, and the making of tea is no
exception to that rule. First, if your
cad teapot has not been properly cared
for, buy anew one. Then dltoose a
good article of tea. It need not be ex-
pensive, but if possible, select the last
crop. Select the teas from Ceylon and
India in preference to those imported
from China and Japan. The teas pro-
duced i'n China and Japan are made
entirety by band, and not in the most
dleanly'manner, by pnespiring coolies.

/sand and aril from finger tip to elbow.
This work is done in Ceylon and India
by clean machinery. Tea from these
countries costs more than cheap, ordi-
nary teas, because of the careful( at-
tention it receives, but, as it is about
double the strength', it is really the
cheapest in the end. 11 is with tea as
with everything else—the really super-
ior articles are rarely found on bargain
counters. The cheaper teas are whet-
s/Feld at about 10c a pound, and are usu-
ably retailed; at 50c. You can see for

The eyes of the world are literally
