Use a white stone or an earthen- ware pot for making the tea. Fill the pot with boiling water to heat it. Now place the desired amount of, water in the teakettle to boil, Just before the water reaches the boiling point turn out the water from the earthenware —Beverages. pot or white stone pitcher, dry the pitcher and then place in it the. desired amount of tea, Now pour on the freshly boiled water. Cover it and allow to stand for five minutes, then use it, This method will produce a delicious eufi of fragrant tea, and it avoids drawing out the tannin which is pres- ent in the tea leaf; If water is used that has been standing in the teakettle or water that has been long in. boiling, much of the valuable gases are de- stroyed. French Method of Making Coffee Use a stone pitcher, fill it with boil- ing water and set in a vessel contain- ing hot water. This will thoroughly heat the pitcher. Now place one level tablespoonful. of pulverized coffee for each cup desired in a clean piece of cheesecloth and tie. Have the water freshly boiled. Pour out the water flip the pitcher. Put the coffee in the pitcher and pour the boiling wa- ter over it. Cover closely for ten minutes and place where it will be hot. One tablespoonful of coffee for each cup of boiling water. Coffee made by this method will contain all the delicious aroma that escapes when it is made in a percola- tor or by boiling or scalding. The percentage of caffeine is much less than when the coffee is made by other methods._ Cocoa or Chocolate • Use equal parts of water and milk. Dissolve the cocoa or chocolate in hot water; add to rest of milk and water. If beaten` continually the cocoa or chocolate will be smooth and rich in flavor. When heating milk allow it to come just below the scalding point. Boiling destroys the vitamines and lowers the food value.

Many Reforms Are Under Way in Great Britain. A great improvement is being made bi Great Britain in her methods of caring for the blind, This not only applies to the care of blinded soldiers but to all classes of sightless persons throughout England and Wales, Scot- land and Ireland. More than three years ago a com- mittee was _appointed by Herbert Samuel, then president of the Local Government Board, to study the' situ- ation of the blind and recommend methods for improving their training and employment. In the first place it was found that the Government should establish a central control organization for all existing agencies of voluntary help, which could be far better utilized aif centrally controlled. It is proposed to set up a separate department in the Ministry of Health which will be de- voted exclusively to the general care and supervision of the blind. The crux of Britain's problem is the inadequacy ofworkshops, which the committee recoq ends ' should -be doubled, first by extension of the pre- sent shops and second by the con- struction of new and modern estab- lishments. Even the sale of -the handiwork of blind persons has been neglected, and a plan of co-operative selling is to be formed, augmented by a co-operative plan of buying and dis- tributing raw material. At present there are. not sufficient funds available, and in due time fur- ther grants from, the Goxernment are to be placed at the disposal of the cen- tral authority. The employment of blind teachers in the elementary schools is to be effect- ed wherever possible on account of their adaptability to such an occupa- tion and also because it is necessary to give preference to blinded teachers over those with sight or partial sight. A detailed register of blind children is to be started in order to establish a careful system of following up each Won t that give . opmton young lady, was to open fire by a of us7'> manner for jellies.

A little brochure has just been issu- ed by the Agricultural Department at Ottawa, and that can be had frtee by addressing the Publications Branch of the Departrltent,• for which, at a time when universal attention is be- ing paid to vegetable gardening,' there should be a 'large demand. It is ori- titled, "The Manuring of Market Gar- den Crops, with special reference to the Use of Fertilizers," has for its authors Frank Tx Shutt, M.A., D.Sc., Dominion Chemist, and B. Leslie Em- ile, C.D. & A., F.C,S,, and is Bulletin No.•32 (second series) of the Division of Chemistry. As the title suggests, the bulletin is intended mainly, . for the information of market gardeners, but seeing that the rules for the cul- tivation of the soil and the seeding and growing of vegetables and plants are common to all, its contents are really of general import, despite the fact also that a good deal of attention ispaid to barnyard manure. The im- portance of manure in market -garden- ing can scarcely be over-estimated, the bulletin rightly remarks, adding "Stable manure has been and prob- ,ably always will he the main standby of the market gardener. From this the Bulletin goes on to tell of the na- ture and composition of manure and of its influence. Tile nature and use of lime and its compounds next, receive attention, followed by a disquisition on commercial fertilizers, their corn - position and methods of application. In this connection the section devoted to Potassic Fertilizers is especially in-, teresting ai`ltl valuable. Advise with elaborate tables is given on the value of different fertilizers, and, finally, suggestions to meet the fertiliser re- quirements of special crops, in which are lneluHed ail kinds of Vegetables and fruits.
