How THE CHINESE MAKE TEA.-Among the
newspaper articles floating around the country
and turning up periodically is one entitled
GLOW different nations make tea" 1t COM
mences thus: "The Chinese place the tea in a
cup, pour boiling water upon it, and drink the
infusion off the leaves" Now this is wholly
erroneous. The Chinese method is far superior
to that commonly followed in the United States
and Europe for drawing tea" They take no
sugar or milk in their tea, and never boil the
leaves, thereby dssipating all the delicate aroma,
as we do. They have a small basket, lined with
wooden felt, from an inch to two inches in thick
ness, and with cover padded in the same man.

celain is fitted tightly. When tea is to be drawn,
they put the dry leaves into the porcelain tea.
pot, pour boiling water upon them, put on the
lid, and close the felt-lned cover of the basket
tightly down upon it. The felt retains the heat
from six to twelve hours, and at any time during
the dar you can pour cup of tea, scalding hot,
fresh, cear and delicieRsly aromatic, from the
nose of the tea-kettle, which protrudes from a
hole in the side of the basket. Fuel is thus
economical, and tea is infinitely better than can
be produced from the same grade of leaves by
any other process. This teapot and basket can
be procured at any frst-clasS Chinese store, and
a single trial will satisfy the most skeptical that
our housewives are far behind the semi-barbari.

ALMONDS IN KrNruokr.-A Kentucky paper

ALMONDS IN hENIUCh "A h6uIuChy paper
says;
CDR. j. c. Carter last week discovered on the
farm of Mrs. Newman, fine, healthy almond
tree, about fifteen years old. Considerable of
last years fruit was on the tree, and scattered
on the ground beneath it. The doctor gave us
specimen, and although it had been exposed
to the weather all winter, we think the nuts are
about equal to those sold here at about a cent
piece.
DR.. Carter says he heard of this tree before,
having been told by the family of Mrs. Zeb.
Ward, then living on the place, that there was a
peach tree there which bore fruit with nothing
but skin on it, but he had never thought of
examining the tree until last week. Wards
family lived on the place several years, moved
away, and never knew but the almond tree was
scrub peach. We understand the seeds were
planted by Mrs. Ashmore fifteen or sixteen
years ago, that there were five or six of them in
the first place, but being neglected, have dwin-
died away to one. This one looks fine and
healthy, and promises to live many years yet.
Ii it is found that the almond will flourish in
this latitude, il will be an item of interest to
fruit growers"

A writer in the College Courant has been en-
deavoring to ascertain at what age men are
capable of doing their best work. His method
is to take the names of the most illustrious men
OF all times and countries, with their ages when
their greatest achievements were accomplished,
and from these to derive the average time of life
at which the important mental work of the
world is done, or the mean year OF greatest
productiyeness. His list of great men includes
eight hundred names, and their most note
worthy achievements number eighteen hundred.
The mean age of greatest productiveness for all
classes is found by this method TO be thirty
eight years and ify-two hundredths. This may
be regarded as the mental prime of life, which
Is attained if this process gi 5es trustworthy re-
suits, from five to ten years earlier than has
Deen generally supposed. In the arrangement
by classes it is found that LAWYERS and Judges
come latest to maturity, or at least to q reeogni-
Hoh Oh thelr powers; the average age of greatest
productiveness with them being forty-five years
and little over. Professors and educators
come next, who have done their best work at
nearly forty-three years. Then follow in this
oruer' and very near together statesmen. di-
'lhes' authors, physicians, philosophers, artists
anu oIa'oIs' whose age of greatest productive
ness ranges from thirty-eight to forty voors
Next come commanders, scientists. reformcrs
and philanthropists, whose chief work is accom-
plished at thirty-six to thirty-seven years: in.
Ventors, musicians and travellers, who are at
their best at from thirly-one to tbirty-five wears
and actors make their highest efforts earlier
than any other class, at about the age of twenty
nine years. By the use of the same materials

A REMARKABLE MIRAGE-A writer in the
Rochester, N. Y, Express records a remarkable
mirage on Sunday afternoon last. He says that
to one standing at Mount Hope there appeared
lifted in the entire north sky the blue waters of
Lake Ontario, while reflected from them could
be seen the mountains, hills, valleys, bays and
rivers, or the Canada shore inland for miles.
The coast could be plainly seen over a stretch of
fifty miles, and so clearly at one time that the
present who were familiar with the Canada
shore could readily distinguish Rice lake, Belvi-
dere, and other prominent points in Canada.
The lake looked as though it had by a great
tidal wave rolled upon Rochester, and covered
north of Main street, or any land between the
city and the lakes.

lrRoM OUR REGULAR coRREspoNDpNr.l


WASHINGTON, D. c., April 10, 1871
CLOSING DEBATES.
have waited SO far into the middle of the
week in order, as l expected, to comment
knowingly on the adjournment. But is yet un-
cel tain whether that will be had tonight or to-
morrow. However, it is quite evident that there
will be nothing further done than to arrange
the differences between the two houses over the
Sherman amendment to the kuklux bill. Ii il
not probable that the disagreement will be serous
or prolonged. The point at issue is probably
understood by my readers, but it may not be
amss to explain it briefly here. The senate
amended the enforcement" bill as it is termed
by some, the ''kuklux BILL" as it is called by
most, in two or three important particulars.
One change, it was claimed, enlarged the pow
ers granted to an extent beyond what the
house agreed to, but this enlargement
has been accepted. The other senate
changes were provision requiring the admins
tering of the test oath TO jurors this, as finally
agreed upon by the two houses, is left to the dis.
erection of the judges. The other and disputed
point is an additional section, framed by Sena-
.of sherman, making the counties in which ku-
A'uA outrages occur, responsible for the dam.
ages uone to property or individuals. The ar
gu'hent IN favor Of this may be briefly stated as
an extension OF the idea which makes city
county or township responsible for DAMAGES oc
curing from neglect Of roads, bridges r. q,
through riot in its midst 1t was argued Tho, /;
the community neglected to suppress offences
or, going further, even condoned them tbroug,
an abnormal condition Of public sentiment i
it is quite certain the kuklux are sympathize.
with, such communities ought to be made to bea
the penalties of neglect or tact approval. o
the other side, the opposition rested on allege
uneonstitutionality of such an enactment {
well as on the injustice of making the nnocer
suffer with the guilty.
There is not the slightest possibility of an
such provision passing the house, and it seem
equally certain that the senate will recede.
this be 50 1t is not improbable that an adjourn
