1796.
Domestic
Hints
(Tea
Curing
Headache).
Why
does
tea
frequently
cure
headache?
Because,
by
its
stimulant
action
on
the
general
circulation,
in
which
the
brain
participates,
the
nervous
congestions
are
overcome.
1797.
Domestic
Hints
(Clothes
for
Hot
Weather).
Why
are
clothes
of
smooth
and
shining
surfaces
best
adapted
for
hot
weather?
Because
they
reflect
or
turn
back
the
rays
of
the
sun,
which
are
thus
prevented
from
penetrating
them.
1798.
Domestic
Hints
(Loose
Clothing
Warmer).
Why
is
loose
clothing
warmer
than
tight
articles
of
dress?
Because
the
loose
dress
encloses
a
stratum
of
warm
air
which
the
tight
dress
shuts
out;
for
the
same
reason,
woollen
articles,
though
not
warmer
in
themselves,
appear
so,
by
keeping
warm
air
near
to
the
body.
1799.
Domestic
Hints
(Tea
Made
Best
with
Boiling
Water).
Why
should
the
water
poured
upon
tea
be
at
the
boiling
point?
Because
it
requires
the
temperature
of
boiling
water
to
extract
the
peculiar
oil
of
tea.
1800.
Domestic
Hints
(First
Infusion
Best).
Why
does
the
first
infusion
of
tea
possess
more
aroma
than
the
second?
Because
the
first
infusion,
if
the
water
used
is
at
the
boiling
temperature,
takes
up
the
essential
oil
of
the
tea,
while
the
second
water
receives
only
the
bitter
extract
supplied
by
the
tannic
acid
of
tea.
1801.
Domestic
Hints
(Sky-Blue
for
Fair
People).
Why
does
a
head-dress
of
sky-blue
become
a
fair
person?
Because
light
blue
is
the
complementary
colour
of
pale
orange,
which
is
the
foundation
of
the
blonde
complexion
and
hair.
