It Is unquestionably truo that house kcopora would make hotter tea if they knew more about tho toa plant it self. Tho brlof explanation below re veals tho causo of sleeplessness, head aclioH, etc. ' Tea. drinking is said to bo on tho-In crenso, and when properly made, tea forms a wholesomo and refreshing boverngo, but when mudo In that hap hazard fashion so often demonstrated in tho nverago homo, it rcsultB In tho discomfort of headaches, sleeplessness and nervo troubles of various kinds. Whore, then, is tho sclonco in tea making, you, will ask. There nro as many ns 20 different Ingredients found in ten, but thoso that concern us chiefly nro thelne, ulknlold, tannin and an aromatic oil. Thclno is tho brain stimulant which causes tho ac tion of tea in our cyBtom. Strong ten contains a largo percent age of thclno and can bo taken by few in consequence. Tannin Is tho In gredient which gives the bitter, ns trlngont quality, which, if taken in ex cess, proves harmful. Tho aromatic oil, of course, gives tho flavor and pleasant aroma which to a largo ex tent determines tho valuo of tho tea. Tho ono fact that must bo borne In mind is that tannin will not dissolve in hot water as quickly, as thclno, bo that after an infusion of from four to bIx minutes most of tho aromatic oil nnd thelno will have been drawn out, but llttlo tannin. This is what Is wanted to produce a drink that is wholesomo nnd aoothing. If allowed to brow longer than six minutes far too much tannin 1b extracted, and tho partaker will Buffer In eomo way, either with indigestion or some such indisposition. SAUSAGES AT THEIR BEST At This Season, When They Are Most Popular, They Are Worth Much Time and Attention. Take a tablcspoonful of seasoned mnshed potato and form into shells; then press uncooked sausago In each; brush with tho beaten yolk of egg nnd set on a greased pan in a hot oven to cook; by tho time the potato is heated through and browned the sau sage will bo cooked. Garnish tho dish on which the shells aro served with parsley or watercress. Brown the snusago and drain freo from tho fat; then let become cold. Shred crisp cabbage and season with celery salt and mayonnaise and ar range tho sausages in a circle, placing a tablcspoonful of tho mayonnaise in tho center. Brown the sausages and nrrango on a hot dish. Drain off part of the fat from the pan and .add gradually enough boiling water to make a rloh brown gravy, stirring all of the tlmo to loosen tho browned sedi ment from the bottom of tho pan. Bo careful that only enough water is added to have the gravy rich and not diluted so as to bo watery. Peppor and salt can be added to suit tho in dividual tasto. Canned Corn Chowder. Cut in Bmnll bits and try out a piece of pork one and a half inches square; add ono sliced onion and cook for five minutes, stirring often that the onion may not burn. Strain tho fat Into a stowpan. Parboil for flvo mlnutos in boiling water to cover, four cupfuls of pototocB cut in qUartor Inch slices; drain, and add two cup fuls of boiling water. Cook until the potatoes aro soft, than add one can of corn and four cupfuls of scalded milk, and heat to boiling point.

Pour this into tho sugar and cornstarch and stir constantly over tho fire until it boils and clears. Add tho butter, Btlr until melted, put in tho grated rind and servo hot. To Iron Linen.

Each nrtlclo Is thon folded in a dry cloth nnd al lowed to remain there for at least a couplo of hours. Irons must bo hot, but not scorching, nnd tho linen Ironed perfectly dry. Shrimp Bisque 8oup.
