TO MAKE REFRESHING TEA.

A FEW DOX'l'S. Don't infuse tea with water that has beon boiling' away for hours, All the o.vyyci) lias bi*>n boiled oiil of it. Jt will be Hut and insipid, ami will not make- a nice, refreshing i-up ui tea. Don't try to infuse tea with watur that is not thoroughly boiliie_r. It shoulil ho freshly drawn from the tap for each infusion, brought to the hm! "furiously boilingy-and inline liutely |ioured on the leaves. Don't iii'iiieet. to he.it your teapot before putliistf in the leave-;. If the teapot is colli when the boiline; water is poured in, the tempera tun- of the boiliny water is reduced accordin-jly, and a proper infusion is not made. Don't infuse tea more than live minutes. The delicate llavour and U<><>(l qualities, of the tea-leaf are extracted first, the tuiiain last, so you should try to dodge the tannin by piuiriiij,' the liquor oil' tin; leaves after Ihtt minutes' infusion at most. Don't stand the teapot on the or near the fire to. infuse the tciU iniifht boil, und if it does it will spoil. Don't buy any tea that's ollered to you, even if you think you're u''ttiny it cheap. Always buy the best yuu can afford. The best tea you c:ui i r et anywhere is "Tiger" Tea, and you can get it in several tirades, each the best value obtainable in X.Z.
