HINTS ON TEA-MAKING.-f the tea is
desired to be of good flavor, be careful
not to make it in teapot which has
been long out of use without having pre-
viously washed it out with boiling water.
This is done to remove any slight moldi-
ness which might be present in the YES
sci without being observed, and which
would impart disagreeable taste to the
tea when made. Always keep the tea in
=, ,D,.,~,,o,- <,o,,;e+o, ,.rota.ta1 from, tho OF
mosphere and from damp, otherwise it
will lose the pleasant scent peculiar to
good tea, and when used give the bever-
age an unpleasant flavor. In making tea
always fill up the teapot at once. By
this means the whole of the theme
which is the vegetable principle on
which the peculiar effects produced by
ca depends-is extracted at once. This
Will be found much superior to the plan
sometimes adopted of wetting the tea
with q small quantity of water, and then
allowing it to stand before filing the tea
pot. For the purpose of extracting the
Whole theme, the water should be allowed
to remain in the tea for at least ten mill
utes before pouring it out. Be also
careful that the water employed for max
ing tea is boiling before filling the tea
pot, otherwise the whole of the theme
will not be extracted by the fluid, and
the tea employed Will not go as far as it
otherwise uld.-Erchange.

EIGHT DEAD FEES.

The cause of death of the eight giraffes
which were recently imported by an ex-
tensive dealer in wild animals has been
the subject of much speculation, and the
only reasonable conclusion arrived at is
that the poor creatures actually starved
for want OF their natural food. They
were the finest ever landed in America,
and were valued at $500 each. The
largest was 10 feet in height, and the
smallest IA. Upon arrival here they
were sent by Mr.. Rube, their owner, to
the Central Park, and placed under charge
of am experienced keeper, and during the
continuance of warm weather they con-
tinued in good health. Three of the
number were taken to Barnum's. Lately
the animals at the park began to droop,
when they were placed under care of DR..
Liauthard, an experienced veterinary
surgeon. Medicines were given, and the
girafes were thought to be all right, but
the next day two of them suddenly
dropped dead, and soon after the other
three passed away to the spiritual animal
kingdom. The three at the Hippodrome
also died but there still remain at this
place several fine living specimens, which
Mr.. Barnum has had for long time.
They seem in good health and thoroughly
acclimatized. In conversation with Mr.
Rube, yesterday. he said she didn t
blame anybody" and his opinion was
that they died for want of their proper
nourishment. -NeW York Mercury.

A story is told of one Busby and
Mrs. Busby, of Trenton, n. J., celebrat-
ing their iron wedding. They made
feast and invited one hundred and
twenty guests. The first three or four
guests that arrived all brought fat-irons.
The coincidence was laughable, and all
laughed. But when the next eight OF
ten brought fat-irons and looked jolly
over them, Mrs. Busby grew sick of the
ironing business, and Busby got mad.
He began to scent preconcerted ironical
Joke, and his bosom was was ruffled by
the irony of his best friends. Long be-
fore the next hundred guests had come,
all Juggling fiat-irons, Mrs. Busby was
laid out ON sofa, and Busby had gone
to bed drunk. The only variations in
the presents were, one friend brought a
fiat-iron holder, and another, from Phila-
delphia, contributed cow-bell. Busby's
suspicious were incorrect 1t was no
trick at all, except of universal human
nature. The whole proceeding was
natural The fact was that Trenton had
large overstock of fat-irons and sold
them at seductively low rates-almost
gave them away. Everybody had to do
something and everybody invested in
fat-irons, because they were dirt cheap.
The proceeds of that iron wedding were
two hundred and thirteen fat-irons, one
holder and a cow-bell. Busby and wife
have resolved not to celebrate their silver
wedding at all, at least not publicly.

From tie Sugar Cane J

Various articles have appeared from
time to time in these pages on the sub
iect of irrigation as a means of ensuriug
a crop Of sugar cane. This method of
cultivation is next to universal in Egypt
and in Peru, and it is successfully applied
in Porto Rico. The sugar cane is a reed,
and naturally luXuriates in abundance
of moisture aud heat, yet the evidence
is overwhelming that many places once
yielding abundant crops have lost q por-
ton of their humidity in consequence of
the removal Of their arbOreal vegetation,
and at the present time their efforts to
maintain a portion in the struggle for X
istence are almost futile. They natural
ly and wisely cast about to ascertain
if the irregular and inadequate moisture
which is received from the sky, may not
be supplemented by the application of
water led from streams, or pumped from
the supplies stored in the ground. 1t
would be well for enterprising planters,
who are disposed to seek relief in this
direction, to proceed cautiously, lest they
should find hidden difficulties which may
be insurmountable-or lest they should
find that the cost of irrigation is so great
that it cannot be recouped by the extra
crops which it might supply. Whilst advo-
eating caution, we should rejoice to see ex-
periments conducted on a large enough
seals to be reliable prove to be sufficiently
satisfactory to warrant the general adoption
of irrigation on these estates, the posi-
tion and levels of which are favourable
in the drier islands of the British West
Indies, as well as in the Island of Mauri-
titus.
The difficulties that the Indian Govern
ment have experienced in their efforts
to reintroduce the means and practice of
irrigation were we'll set forth by Lord
Salisbury in his address to the Manches-

Dear Sir,
Allow me through your columns to ask

port on Central Factories and kindred
matters. When can we expect to see that
document, a translation of which was pro-
missed a rather long time ago by Governor
Garde? l am only the mouthpiece OF
many interested parties who wonder
whose fault it is that important informa-
ton that might tend to promote the good
cause is sometimes procrastinated and
sometimes entirely suppressed. Why was
not, for instance, the public informed at
all of what transpired the other day at
the meeting of the Central Factory Com
mittee in Frederiksted 2
