lace himself with a beverage made from
water containing the debris of that
which has stood all day on the range,
being only filled ns often as any addition
was needed. Take a clean kettle never
used for anything else, fill it with fresh
water, the harder tho better, boil quick
ly over a very hot lire, and ponr os soon
as it boils upon the tea leaves frosh
from the canister. Let it stand four or
fivo minutes, and then drink.
How to spoil tea: If tho first experi
ment does not make nn infusion strong
enough, or if the pot is partly empty
and more is needed, do not put any
fresh tea into tiro teapot, for it will - m-
lv be wasted. Teu water will l. s-
solve the theiuo from the dry I- of
fresh tea; only pure, fresh wn‘* .o
that. The ivdilition of ton to ; . >. .»■• iy
empty tea)sit will increase tne cun r,
but it will not make tea jierceptibly
stronger in its exhilarating quality.
Any one muy try the expi riraent. Put
a tidilo-spuuiifiil of tea into a quart of
water mid let ii stand five minutes, or
1 mil it if desired. Tlu-n odd two more
spoonfuls of tea leaves to the same do-
ciK-tiou. The color will be iucreused,
but the ten will he little stronger in tho
active principle so much desired. When
moro liquid or a stronger infusion is de
sired, put -the additional teu in a cup
and iKmr fresh water on it; after it lias
sto-id a few minutes, it muy then Is- put
