WISE THINGS THAT SEEM FOOLISH
People who use a silver teapot often drop a lump of sugar into it before it is put away. The reason is that it is hard to make a silver teapot quite dry with a cloth and the lump of sugar finishes the work. If a silver pot is put away damp and allowed to stand it will give an unpleasant flavour to the tea when it is used again; but the sugar, which is very sensitive to moisture in a warm temperature, absorbs whatever moisture may be left in the teapot.
