this cement was as follows. An expert
mental pier was commenced horizontally
from a wall by means of the cement on

portion of The supporting wall, sufficient
for tecciying the first brick, was scruped

brick, and then in Il thicker layer to the
new brick. After the setting Of each
brick, it was held up by haid five or ten
minutes, in order to allow of the setting
of the cement. In tbs manner, one

TO MAKE STRONG TEA.

a constant reader says :-"Porhaps
it is not generally known, that the way
to make good Tea is, first to pour the
boiling water into the pot, and then put
in the tea, not mixing it at all. The
reason is obvious for, of course, the
hottest water is on top, where the steam
rises, when the tea is better infused, and
the favor drawn out more properly"
