Pouring Tea.

There is more to be learned about
pouring out hot tea and coffee than most
ladies are willing to believe. If those
decoctions are made at the table, which
is by far the best way, they require ex-
perience, judgment, and exactness if
they are brought on the table ready
made, it still requires judgment SO to
apportion them that they shall prove
sufficient in quantity for the family
party, and that the elder members shall
have the stronger cups. Often persons
pour out tea who, not being at all aware
that the first cup is the weakest, and that
the tea grows stronger as you proceed,
bestow the poorest cup upon the great
est stranger, and give the strongest to a
very young member of the family who
would have been better without any.
Where several cups of equal strength
are wanted you should pour little into
each, and then go back, inverting the
order as you fill them 30, and the
strength viii be apportioned properly,
This is 40 we'll understood in England
that an experienced pourer of tea waits
till all the cups of the company are re
turned to her before she fills any sec
ond time, that all may share alike

Cooking Meat by Cold.

Those who have handled piece of
CONCEALED mercury, which freezes at a
temperature of forty degrees below
zero, will know that the sensation is
similar to that produced by holding a
coal of fire in the hand. In other words,
intense heat and intense cold bear a
striking resemblance to each other in
their effects. A Hungarian chemist,
whose speciality consists of finding out
the best methods of preserving meats,
has made practical use of this analogy in
the action of heat and cold, and partial
ly cooks his meats by subiecting them
to the action of intense cold. Strange
to say, the meat subjected to this low
temperature is reduced to n condition
similar to that produced by heat. The
material must be perfectly fresh, and
after being exposed to temperature of
thirty-three degrees below zero, must be
carefully sealed ID tins. 1t is found
when opened to preserve remarkable
freshness, and to be in more satisfac-
tory condition for use than has hitherto
been attained by any other method fol
the same purpose. A large mandatory
is being built in Hungary for preparing
meat on this novel principle.

Riches and Death-A Short sc rmon.

A rich old man lay dying. The full
number of years allotted to man had
passed away since first his eyes opened
to the light of day, and father and a
mother rejoiced that son was born unto
them. The full number of years allot-
ted to man-it is long time and yet it
had not seemed long to him, so stealth
lily do the days glide by. But it is long
enough to incur grave responsibilities
responsibilities which, if the preachers
preach truth, stretch out, in their con-
sequences, through all eternity.
The longest life has its close, and his
hour had come. The physicians who
had healed him heretofore, could not
heal him now. He was possessed of
untold millions. BY night and by day
his riches had increased was it, alas
that, in the moment of his dire neces-
sity, they might press, with mountain
weight, upon his own soul? His gold,
which had availed him so often, would
not avail him now. All his vast wealth,
if he were willing to give it, would not
purchase for him one day more of life.
He must die
Failing in all efforts for PHYSICAL re-
lief, he turns to seek for pir1tual conso-
lation. He had lived lite quite blame
less in the estimation of men fair
life but ivers of the fairest lives grow
anxious when they stand face to face
with Death, and realize that they are
about to enter into the darkness which
human vision cannot penetrate. Gould
he find comfort in the word of God
He opens the bible and reads:
Chow hardly shall they that have riches enter
into the Kingdom of God"
at is easier for a camel to go through the eye Of
a needle than for rich man to enter into the King
dom of God"
And he thought of his millions of
money.
And he wondered what Jesus Christ
meant when he spake these words.
And he died !-NetO York Sun.

Singular Case.

A man named Thomas Shackelford,
living near Calhoun, KY, on Green riv-
er, during fit Of intoaication, five or
six years ago, lay out one cold stormy
night, and when he was found next morn
ing and rescued, it was discovered that
he was utterly unable to speak. The ex-
posure had paralyzed the organs of
speech, and since that time he has been
unable to articulate, and was as dumb as
If born to the fate. Several nights ago,
however, he was suddenly awakened by
fire in his house, and 1t was with the
utmost difficulty tl,at himself and wife
were able to extricate themselves from
the burning pile. In the midst of the
fearful excitement the bonds that held
his calculating muscles were rended, and
he in an instant recovered the full power
Of speech he once possessed. 1t is well
attested. and the man now uses his
tongue as well as of yore, and there
seems to be no fear that the restoration
is only temporary.

"How do you build your nest, sir p"

to make a new one, and should like to
improve ON the last"
"Much as you do" replied the rock,
"only 1 don't think you make yours
quite deep enough"
"Thank you, sir" said the crow.
"How do you build your nest, sir?"
asked the crow of the raven.
"In your fashion, but larger yours
was too small. Make the nest at least
two sizes larger"
"Thank you, sir" said the crow.

So the rock and the raven, and the

Stewart, within six months, removes the
representatives of capital to the amount
of 800, 600, 900, and is the beginning of
the crumbling of these vast estates. In
a few years their history will but renew

English Titles.

For the benefit of those interested in
such matters, we give the scale of English
titles. The lowest rank is that of q
knight, and this is dignifed by the title
ssh" only, it not being hereditary.
Next comes the baronet, whose title de-
sceHds to heirs. Knights and baronets
are not counted as belonging to the no.
bility, but only to the aristocracy. The
first in the scale of nobility is the baron,
to which rank most of the English no
bilty belong. The viscounts come next,
and both viscounts and barons are
known in politics as lords earls are
higher then marquises then dukes, the
last being the highest rank to which q
subject can attain. The younger sons
of dukes, marquises and earls, and all
the sons of simple barons claim the pre-
fix honorable.

As Stainer lived sixteen years afterward,

stock of information in England. H.

as stimulant. "Coca"-which is a
totally different thing from cocoa-is O
plant indigenous to the high lands of the
Andes. 1t is well known in Peru, where
the dried leaves are chewed by all classes,
as tobacco is here. The symptoms OF
irsoxication produced by it comprise
heightened temperature, quickened
pulse, strong desire for active locomo-
ton, with increased sense of strength
and agility, followed by apathy and
sleep, from which the patient wakes

How the Stewart clerks We're Treated.

On the authority of one of the Stew
art clerks, it is stated that on the occa-
sion of the visit to the Stewart dwelling
to take last look at the remains of their
employer, all the clerks, male aud female,
were required to pay for the Grape they
wore as badge of mourning. Possibly
no proposal was made to Mr.. Libbey or
Judge Hilton to donate from the stock
sufficient Grape to answer for the occasion,
but it is certain the clerks had to pay
for the Grape they used. Furthermore,
they lost one day by the closing of the
stores, and those not employed in tax
ing an inventory of the stock to settle
the affairs of the old firm lost day
wages by the interregnum. In the vast
business operations of the firm it is pos
sible these things may become necessary,
but it is just such events that estrange
employees from their employers. Again,
the contributions of the clerks for the
floral tributes sent from the store to the
funeral in the church were virtually COM
pulsory on the part of the employed. 1t
was done in this way The head of a
department went around to the clerks and
stated that it was designed that the clerks
should raise fund to purchase flowers
for the occasion, and that the amount
would be O sum ranging from twenty
five cents to one dollar EACH. 1t is not
known that single clerk refused--they
dared not refusal probably would
have been fatal to their places. While
we are singing eulogies to the departed,
let the claims of the living have equal
respect. York Letter.
