To hrinrr rmt fho hminnnt r?f _ - e ~ * l" tea several things are indispensable. First, the water should be freshly drawn. Never use water previously boiled, for its life is gone. Second, the teapot should be made hot by dry heat if possible or else with boiling water. The best sort of teapot is that I made of unglazed clay. The Japanese make one of a dark red clay, 1 often procurable at the ten cent stores. But the best are made by the Chinese of a reddish brown clay from the banks of the Souehien river. It is famous for drawing Out all the sweetness from the leaves. There is no objection to a glaae out side the pot. But the inside, when unglaxed, seems to have some chem icai action on the brewing of tea which adds to its bouquet. Third, the "time limit" makes or mars your pot of tea. Do not let the leaves lie aimlessly in the pot to give out the flavor at their own sweet will. But procure a deep porcelain receiver or strainer full < of holes, such as comes inside blue 1 and white Japanese teapots. Put 1 your tea leaves in the strainer and be generous with them-rthey will ] repay you tenfold with a rise in spirits and general couleur de rose feeling and set the strainer in the pot. If it does not fit use yoilr fem- i mine ingenuity and make a handle < of cord. Never let metal come in ? contact with tea in the making. i A* "the veiy moment the water boils pour it on the leaves. Put the /irwoT nn #r?r nno-half miniifp thpn 1 pour out a cup of the tea. Empty that back over the leaves. Bepeat ^his several times. Then souse the j ^Btrainerful of leaves up and down j -once or twice or until from the aro- l : ?na you can detect the real tea fla- * vor. In this way the strength of H the tea is forced out before the tan- r nic acid can mingle with it, and you have gained in less than two min- 1 utes a bouquet obtainable in no oth erwav. Take any unmixed black tea. Try "the <fiirections given, following the 1 tgpee conditions accurately, and you \ jyjll find that you can make tea at r 80 cents a pound taste like $2, I while most people only succeed in J making 92 tea taste like 30 cents. ( Philadelphia Inquirer. v t .*i. ~ p - F#?r|?M Divers. The black boys of the Sandwich < or Indian islands think nothing of ] diving fifty or sixty feet for the sake of a few coppers or a silver . piece. At all the ports of these islands tourists are met and sent on their way by the divine boys. As soon as a steamer is sighted outside , the harbor half a dozen or more 1 lithe limbed, dark skinned blacks ] leap into the water and swim out a mile or more to be the first to "beg you a quattie, missus/' They follow the steamer in and climb up the side when she slides up to the dock, and they shove their woolly heads over the railing to look for a generous and curious tourist who will pay for the exhibition they are willmg to give at a moment's notice. j ' A ChMtnut Light . A simple and economical substitute for a night light may bepreoared in the following way: Take some good sized chestnuts of irregular form, and with the aid of an ordinary needle nddle them with fine holes. Then soak them in oil for twelve hours. To convert a chestnut thus prepared into a night light1 you have but to bore a hole in it, but not quite through it, and fill the pace with cotton threads to form a wick. Set it in s glass of water,! on which it will float. If you light it at night on retiring you may - count on its lasting until morning. The only precaution necessary to take is to make sure that the chestnut will maintain its upright position in the water. It is therefore well to choose one of irregular shape and to make it float before placing the wick, in order to determine the exact point at which the latter should be inserted, so that there may be no danger of its touching the water a * l; .

Watch Crystal Making. The process of making the watch glasses is more or less a secret,, as is ilso the construction of the ovens, but it is known that the glass is blown into large spheres or balloons, ifter which it is baked and annealed. Skilled workmen then cut out the glasses with a diamond point, ifter which they are ground to the proper sizes. The ovens are very expensive to build, costing not less than $30,000 each, and their operation is so difficult that one of the Brms found it cheaper to have their ''balloons"' made by the oldest manufacturers who were more expert, than to make them themselves. at Louis Poet-Dispatch.
