"What s your nnmer asked on officer, turning fiercely upon her. MMy name now is Matt1? Reedy," waa the answer, "but, please Ood, 1 shall one day call myself Mrs, John Morgan." Up to this tlmo she had never met or even seen John Morgan. Somehow the story came to his ears. He sought her oat, courted her and married her.

TRUE WAY TO MAKE TEA. A. Science Which Includeu Jinny My terica lu th Drew. Luwuh, a poet, saw In the tea serv ice Uie same harmony and order which reigned through all things. In his cel ebrated work, the "Chunking' ("The Holy Bcrlpturo of Tou"), ho formulated tho codo of tea. Ho has since been worshiped as tho tutelary god of the Chinese tea merchants. In tho fifth chapter Luwuh describes tho method of making tea. lie dwells on tho much discussed question of the choice of water and tho degree of boil ing it. According to him, the moun tain spring is the best; the river water and tho spring water como nest in the order of excoltonoo. There are threo stages of boiling. Tho flxst boll Is when the little bubbles liko tho eyes of fishes swim on tho surface. The second boll is when tho bubbles are like crystal beads rolling in a fountain. The third, boll is when tho billow surge wildly in tho kettle. The cake tea Is roasted before the .fire until It becomes soft like a baby's arm and is shredded Into powdor between pieces of fine paper. Salt Is put in the first boil, the tea in tho second. At the third boll a dlpporful of cold water Is poured into the kottie to sottle the tea nnd revive tho "youth of the wa ter." Then tho boverago was poured Into cups ami drunk. Oh, noctar! The filmy leatlet hung lllro scaly clouds in a serene sky or floated like water lilies on emerald stems. International Quar terly. The Chanire of a Word.
