HINTS ON TEA-MAKING.

IT the tea is desired to be of good fa.
vor, be careful not to make it in tea
pot which bag been long out of use,
without h wing previous'3 washed :.
out With boiling water. This ia done to
remove any slight mouIdiness which
might be present in the vessel without
being observed, and which would impart
a disagree sble taste to the tea when made.
Always keep the tea in proper canister,
protected from the atmosphere and from
the damp, otherwise it will lose the
pleasant scent peculiar to good tea, and,
when used, give the beverage an TN.
pleasant favor. For this reason be
very careful, if possible. never to pur-
chase tea which has musty odor, even
in the slightest degree, or which doeS
not possess that agreeable scent so char
acteristic of tea in good condition, but
which is SO quickly lost by exposure to
damp. In making tea, always fill up
the teapot at once. BY this means the
whole of the theme winch is the vege-
table prlncipls on which The peculiar
effects produ ed by tea depends-is
extracted at once. Tbis will be found
much superior to the plan sometimes
adopted Of first wetting the les with a
small quantity Of hotS waller, and then
allowing it tostand before filling up the
teapot. For the purpose of e2sractipg
the whole Of the theme, the water should
be allowed to remain in the teapot for Ut
least ten minutes before pouring 1t out
Be also very careful that the water en-
ployed for making tea is boiling before
filling the teapot, otherwise the whole
of the theme will no. be extracted BY
the fluid, and the tea employed will not

THAT PROBLEM.
D. A. NJ

Prof. Olney, of Michigan University
who is the author of o series Of highe,
mathematics, including higher algebra
geometry, irigenometry and calculus
gives the following solutionsto that prob.
lem which, as yet, we teachers fail ia
agree upon.
Question-A merchant sells eight
ninths of u thing for what the whole
cost what is his gain percent
The statement is ambiguous.
LIST. If the remaining one-ninth of his
goods is dead capital" lost. be makes
nothing.
End. If the remaining one-ninth is to
be calculated as worth the same as the
elght-ninths sold go that The problem
means the same as that He sod the
goods Gail of theml at the rate of eight
ninths for what all cost him." be sells
what cost him !, for | one-eighth or nine
eighths, and hence gains nine-eighths, OF
Il one fourth per cent.
This is also the same as his gain on the
portion he did SELL Thus for what he
paid eight-ninths he receives l, conse-
quently his gain 1 eight niuths EQUALS
IL Ii per cent.
Srd. If however the remaining one
ninth is counted at cost, his avails for /
spent are plus one-ninth or ten-ninths,
and his per cent. gain II one-ninth
How the 1919 per cent. gets in can
scarcely see.

Ger the christians natal skies,
Distant beams, like floods Of glory,
Fill the soul with glad surprise;
And we almost hear the echo
OF the pure and holy throng.
In the bright, the bright forever,
In the summer-land of song.
On the banks beyond tie river,
We shall meet, no more to sever;
In the bright, the bright forever,
In the summer land of song.
2, Yet little while we linger,
Ere we reach our journeys end;
Yet little while to labor,
Ere the evening shades descend;
Then We'll lay us down to slumber,
But the night will soon be DER;
In the bright. the bright forever,
We shall wake to sleep no more.
