A sample taken from a one pound tin in me was analysed and fouod to contain strong traces of muriatic stele), the presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of saits in welding the parts of tin together. The analyst warns consumers that tea packed in small tins, owing. to its very absorbent nature, is Tery liable to become impregnated with this acid, and therefore, dangerous for human consumption, and advises that the vary safest package to purchase is that packed la lead with an inside lining of vegetable parchment., This style of packet is quite impervious to the air, and tea so packed has been known to retain al its aroma and strength for a period of five years.' .

STAFTER THE THEATER. { g How to Serve n Dainty Supper at Horn* f About Sandwiches. j After small dancea, card or theater s parties there is a new way of serving 1 •uppers at home. When the hour for refreshments ar rives and the dining room doors are thrown open, in place of the doubtfully inviting cold collation on the long side board or at one end of the Btately din ing, table the efceam and glow from a couple or trio of big chafing disheß greet the hungry guesta Over the great silver heaters, with their double power alcohol lamps, in. the very smart houses the family chef or a caterer's snan brought in for the occasion presides. From top to toe he is arrayed like a lily, and he probably speaks very broken English. If a couple of double chafing dishes, Which supply in. all four cooking basins, are used, two men can rapidly feed al most any number of persons, and a de lightful informality reigns. All about the cooks are bowls heaped with raw materials for conversion into dainty messes. Every utensil used in preparing . the supper is silver, and every guest, (selecting what plates, knives, spoons, etc.; M .or she desires from piles on a lide table, goes personally for helpings from the chafing dishes. On the brown or white wioker plates the bread is piled and topped by a silver wire fork, which holds a card. On the card, in legible gilt letters, is written "ham, chicken, salad or jelly sand wiches, " as the case may be, and as the maid passes by those who are hungry may read and make their selections. As long ac supper ia in progress these bas kets of bread are kept circulating through the rooms, and the ices are dished tip in the prettiest littlg paste board boxes. Inside the boxes are lined with waxed paper, and it is a fact to be temembered that napkins seem rarely at never used now at such suppers. How Russian Caviare Is Made. Caviare is a very important product in Russia, the most of it coming from the sturgeon. The roe is taken out of the fish and rubbed on a sieve to remove the skin, the meshes being large enough to allow the eggs to pass through, leav ing the skin behind. The caviare is then covered with brine. The difference be tween the fresh caviare and the ordinary kind put up«for export is in the length of time it remains In the brine. Affcer it is removed and drained it is put up in cans, jars and small kegs and is ready for-market. The cheaper kind is put in to linen bags and pressed. This is called pressed caviare and is a much inf erioi article. Stow to WMh Silk Vest* Without Ironing. I A very simple and pretty front is made of week silk carved out at the i throat lines and basted on a stiff collar, about which a ribbon is tied, finishing in a bow at the back. The silk is long enough to hang a little full at the waist. A thread is run about two inches feom the bottom, drawing the fullness into the front* and this is tuoked under the band of the skirt and held firmly in place by the belt of leather or ribbon. To launder this all that iB necessary is to rip off the collar, let out the draw ing thread, wash it thoroughly in warm soapsuds, rinse in cold water and while still very wet pin it, stretched tightly, on a lapboard or any smooth surface. When dry, it will be as free from wrinkles as if ironed and as soft as new silk. It ia a great mistake ever to iron thin silk, as, if done when damp, it be comes as craakly as paper, while if al lowed to partly dry first it is almost impossible to entirely remove the rough, dry appearance, unless a very hot iron is used, in which case there ia danger of scorching. How to Make Dainty Bonbon Boxes. Very pretty bonbon boxes for a lunch eon may be made at home. You will need cardboard boxes, one for every guest. Cover them with creamy china qilk over a layer of cotton wadding and decorate them with water colors. A pretty design is a delicate fern pattern In shades of cool green. Line the boxes with green crape paper, fill with candied violets and tie with bebe green ribbon. Put the" guest's name across one corner. Boxes covered with linen and hand painted are exceedingly pretty. How Mosaic Is Made, Landscapes, portraits and figures of all kinds are represented by very small pieces of glass or stone of different col ors. They are often so small that more than 2,000 pieces will be pwt in a square inch. Each of these has to be selected so as to be of the right color and put in ex actly the right place and cemented there, Some of them are so fine that it must have taken a man months to do a single square inch. In the British museum is the finest specimen of these. It is leas than half en inch square and represents the sacred hawk of the Egyptians, every feather of the bird's wing being produced with a great number of colors and tints, each quite distinct and so minute that a strong magnifying glass is require to distinguish details. How to Improve the Carriage. An erect and graceful carriage is al ways a great charm in a woman. A stooping, slouching gait is ugly, and it is always advisable for young girls to have physical training and be taught how to carry themselves. Exercises which tend to develop grace of body and motion should be practiced daily, and it is as well to remember that the body needs as much training as the mind. HOW to Make Toasted Cheese With Eggs. Beat 8 tablespoonfuls of bread crumbs soaked in mili with 2 eggs, then add 2 teaspoonfuls of made mustard, salt and pepper to taste and, lastly, half a pound of grated cheese. Beat all together light ly, spread evenly on slices of toast and place In the oven to brown quickly. Be fore sending to table strew a little dry grated cheese over.
