Secret of Perfection Lies In the Proper

It Is thut tho Jnpnncso women make
8uch good ten, and tho manner lu
which thoy go about tho onorntlon, tho
(IJoston Ilcrnld flays. Whon tho Jap
anese woman makes tea tho foreign
epactntor is Imprcssad, not only with
tho cxtrcmo sciiBltlvcnegH of hor hands,
.but also with tho evident delicacy ol
'her sonsos of sight and amoll. Tha
pecrot of tho tea Ilea In tho proper fu
sion. Black tea requires boiling wnter,
nnd grcon tea doo not. Hlnck tea ro
aulros fresh wnter pourod on th
leaves whon It has Just como to a do
elded boll. Hot water that has boiled
a long tlmo and has lost Its llfo will
not ranko a good tea. It should stand
from threo to soven minutes' and only
In a porcolaln pot Then all tho Jl
quid should bo pourod off. In othci
"words, pour only ns many cupfuls Intc
tho pot as you wish to sorvo at onco.
Hot water standing on tea loavci
draws out tho tannin, according to the
Japanese- womon, and this Is tho malt
thing to o avoided, Ior socond cupi
flour boiling water on tho leaves al
ready used. Whon making a green tot
tho' thing to bear In mind Is that ol
'oI1j bovorago Is desired. Water be
yond ICO dogrces Fahrenheit tends to
destroy tho flavor nnd aroma by dri
fting off tbo volatllo oil.
Allow hot wator to stand In , the.
,cups to bo served In order that thoy.
may ho thoroughly boated. Pour
fresh hot water cooled to such an ex
tent that tbo finger can bo placed In It,
ovor tho green loaves and let It stand
In a porcolaln pot for two minutes nnd
,R half. Then pour a llttlo Into each
cup and thon a llttlo moro, and so on.
This makes oaeh cup of llko quality.
No sugar or milk Is jiooded If tho wa

anoso tea nmdo In this mannor should
havo a greenish ambor color, with a
truo tea bush aroma and an oily tasto.

Cupid la tho dog's namo nnd 'Boston

West Point in particular Is not worth

would fill n book, for certain it is
that this llttlo Boston terrier can do
moro tricks and understand moro
words than any othor dog, big or llt

Whon Captain Gharloa wns marrlod

Cupid morely wags his stump of n

"How about Ynlo?" Captain Churles
asks. Still no roply.
Captain Charles suggests In turn

Cupid only Indicates his mild disap

Captain Charles asks, and Cupid
growls, to show that ho In Insulted.
He knows that West Point's groatost
rival is tbo acadomy on tha Sovorn.
"All right, wo'll cut out Annapolis,

Thon Cupid proves that ovon a dog
can muBter tho drill regulations.
"Wulk your post," commands Cap

and head to tho front, marches sol
emnly back and forth on tho porch.
'"Tnntion," orders Captain Charles,
and Cupid stops in his tracks and re
mains ns rigid as a statuo until Cap
tain Charles says "At easo."
"Doublo tlmo" Is tho noxt command,
and Cupid docs n hundred yards In

"Tnko your post, sir," Is the final
command, and .tho dog marches sol
emnly across tha room and scats him

serves as his couch.
"Now, Cupid, show thorn how you
act whon you aro an tho train," says
Captain Charles, whereupon Cupid
sits up nnd tries to look llko a drum

Then slowly Captain Charles calls

"Iinglowood, West Nynck, Haver

Cupid pays no nttontlon.
"West Point?" shouts tho cnptaln.
Cupid jumps up, omits n loud bark,
and runs down the stops Into tho yard
Just us ho would do In alighting from

Of course, Cupid can walk on his

can beg for his food, and do nil tho

supposed to do. Ho is learning now

I Blessings of
Imperfection
By HENRY F. COPE
Text We aro saved by hope Romans
21.
To every man llfo Is oither an in
fliction or an Inspiration. It nil de
pends on how you tnko It, as a do30
or as n spur. It Is onny to become so
conscious of calamities possible,
troubles impending, and difficulties
present as to bo oppressed with a
senso of tho unlvcrso as warring
against you, or you can sec It'all as 0
glorious strugglo in which It is a Joy
to havo a part
Lifo is not all a joyous way ot
pleasure No person of sensibilities
can ignoro altogether its pain and
need, or over be free from tho senso
of porsonal Incompleteness, and of un.
realized adjustment to the universe.
But this incompleteness, restlessness,
and dissatisfaction, may bo tho causo
of our profoundest Joy nnd largest
hopes.
A man is greater than nn angol,
though ho may not bo better, nnd may
be worse. In nn important senso im
perfection is better and greater than
perfection. Thnt which is perfect has
found its limits, has reached its full
ness. Man sees no limit about him
and goes on forever without tho sense
of completeness. Thnt Is tho mark
of living, that tho moro you llvo tho
largor llfo stretches before you.
But for our Imperfections thero
would be no growth; tho futuro would
llo like a blank without tho hope of
Inrger things. This It is thnt makes
tho new days welcome, no matter
what freight of woo thoy may bring
to us thut thoy stretch before, they
promise onward stops, now vistas, tho
chanco to bo more, feel moro, know
moro. Perfection might mean pence,
but It would bo tho peace of death.
If ovor wo aro inclined to complain
of tho shocks of fortune, tho buffets
and smarts of living, wo ought to turn
and look on them nil with gratitude.
Thoy shnko utf out of dull content;
thoy testify to our incompleteness nnd
call on us to lenrn life's lessons, to
gain now Btrcugth to withstand their
oncoming attacks. Tho fact that wo
aro vulnerable makes us ultimately
victorious,
Now, It matters not how religious a
man may profess to be, how freely
ho may handlo pious phraseology, if
-ho spends his breath in complaining
about tho sorrows of this existence
and in sighing about another world
whero he will bo free from tho pres
ent penalties nnd pains and will enter
into tbo lifo ot perfection, tho life
thut has attained nnd knows no fur
ther dcslro, his religion is a menace
to this world and to him ns a dweller
hore.
Our present business is with the
llfo that isNfun of prophecy of largor
being.fthat reminds us by our present
failures and friction ot tbo greatness
of our shortcomings; our business is
to tnko this Ufa of pain and need and
Use all its provocations, Its troubles,
difficulties, problems ns tho curricu
lum of Inrger life. We ought to bo
grateful, as they who take llfo wise
ly certainly will be, for all that moves
us on though It may seem to lay us
low at tho tlmo of tho blow.
Truo religion is that which places
tho light of aspiration before a man's
oyes and sets in bis heart tbo vision
of n llfo which knows no limit. Reli
gion interprets tbo unlverso in terms
ot a rcasonablo' plan ot life, with a
hopo in llfo which does not mqck us.
Religion is tho spirit that enables one
to trust tho ultimate wisdom ot the
plan of our present Imperfection.
Tho present struggle is tho finest
thing thnt 'we have. Not that wo need
to add to its Intensity or increase its
complications. ' But wo ought not to
try to dodgo its demands nor ought wo
to bo blind to its splendid promise. For
Imperfection Is ever tho prophecy of
development, and he who bravoly,
hopefully struggles on, bears, enduros,
aspires, not only tlnds tho way through
tho clouds to tho stars, but in tho
struggle finds tho high and divine In'
himself.
Hero faith plays her part, aiding us
to cling to our visions of tho largor
life and greater universe, giving us
confidence oven In darkest nights that
wo do not walk In n maze, to come out
where wo went In, hearing tho mock
ing laughtor of Idiot gods. Wc hollo vo
better things of our world, and that
means tnklng our world in a nobler
way and trusting that lovo rules
through It all. That means finding
our way out through imperfections and
needs to n wholeness and perfection
which wo call God, tho deslra of every
soul.
The Christian's Privilege.
Tho great master hand sends tho
thoughts ot sorrow, of Joy, of strength,
into our llfo in varying forms as
mighty means under tho Spirit's pow
er, to mold and bring us Into the Di
vine Imago, for "to stund by tho side
of Jesus Christ und look upon llfo
nnd Its possibilities is to behold n vIh
ion of marvellous beauty." It Is this
ovor-dooponlng vision of llfo that Is
tho Christian's prlvilego as ho walks
by tho side of his Master and toucho3
tho hand which is molding hiq llfo
Into tho highest beauty. Though earth
Is dark, in His presence It Ib always
day.
