Tea Tasting.

A few weeks ago died G. Reid, for
many years tea-taster for Mawndray,
importer of Chinese teas. The obituary
notice states that he was forty-fve years
of age, and came to untimely death by
the poisonous effects of lingering pros
tration of body and mind peculiar to
professional tea-tasters.
Every market has its standard taste
for tea. We have seen in large tea
house in London, previously to an I'M
porters auction, six men occupied for
three hours tasting samples and marking
the qualities and the number catalogued
in the circular. Two hours, at a guinea
an hour, is an exhaustive days work.
Before year expires he suffers from
chronic vigilantea, nervous prostration
follows, his brain is disorganized, his
wretchedness is beyond endurance, and
death is a welcome deliverance.
Being invited to visit Horniman's tast-
ing-rooms, we were surprised to see the
victims. Three years is the limit of en-
DURANGO We attended the sale, and
afterward suggested retasting, Ameri-
can fashion, and new markings, which
soon convinced Mr.. Horniman that for
years he had selected his teas lottery
fashion. Usually he never bought the
finest qualities. The reason is: Tea re-

like to make their tea at the table have
the hot water brought from the kitchen.
From twelve to twenty degrees of heat

enjoyed in the second drawing by the
servants, who usually fill up from the
kettle still standing on the fire, steaming
at 2l2 deg. Fahrenheit.
Horniman's boiler stood in one corner
of the apartment. Two rows of small
cups were arranged /" dos dos" at the
other end. Into these cold cups, a

In a recent number of the Country
Gentleman Daisy Eyebright thus gives
her experience in treating butter for long
keeping Wood or stone makes the
best vessels for packing butter. but opin-
ions differ as to which exceeds the other.
White-oak firkins soaked for two days in
sour milk, then washed out and soaked
one day in strong brine, and then rubbed
thoroughly with salt, are the best accord
ing to my mind. If E. r. will pack the
butter III such vessels, after he has
worked out every drop of buttermilk, and
sailed by the following recipe, can as
sure him that he can keep his butter
from June to June as sweet as when first
made: To every pound of butter add
two heaping tablespoonful of the finest
dairy salt; the same amount of granu
lated white sugar, and quarter of tea
spoonful Of saltpeter, pulverized very
finely. These ingredients can be mixed
together, in this proportion, in large,
wide-mouthed bottles, and kept for use.
After the churn has done its work add
the mixture, and turn the crank IN re-
versed order for four or five minutes.

ing the fingers to it, and the housewife
needs only to lift it out with butter
paddle and pack it tightly into tirkin,
or else form it into tastefully- stamped
cakes all ready for the table. The sugar
is quite as essential for the preservation
of butter as for the curing of hams; and
everyone knows that sugar-cured hams
are the finest in market. The saltpeter
can be omitted if the butter is not de-
sired for winter use"
One of the most important secrets in
making butter for long keeping is in get
ting the buttermilk all thoroughly
worked out. In our dairy days it was
our rule to add one ounce of salt to each
pound of butter at the first working;
after thorough working to remove but
termilk and incorporate the salt it was
set away for five or six hours in cool
place, and then again worked. The add
dition of salt at the first working seemed
to facilitate the extraction of the butter
milk. The sugar and saltpeter can be
added at the second working; half ounce
of sugar and half the amount of saltpeter
named above was our rule. No salt
added at the second working - PhtLddeL-
phia Times.

Consumption Cured.

An old physician, retired from active
practice, having had placed in his hands by
an East India missionary the formula of a
simple vegetable remedy for the speedy and
permanent cure of consumption, bronchitis

affections, also positive and radical cure
for nervous debility and all nervous COM
plants, after having thoroughly tested its
wonderful curative powers in thousands of
cases, feels it his duty to make it known TO
his suffering fellows. Actuated by this
motive, and a conscientious desire to relieve
human suffering, he will send, free of charge,
to all who desire it, this recipe with full di

A GENTLEMAN of Brooklyn, suffering
from weakness of sight, was recently led
by the advice of well.meaning friends to
use spectacles of blue glass, such as GER

result was that his eyes, already too
weak to be used much in ordinary cir

glare and heat, which in less than a week
entirely destroyed the eyesight of the

Two DAUGHTERS of a farmer in St.
Lawrence County, n. Y, desired to pay
debt on their homestead, but they pre-
ferred not to do it by hard work They
hit upon an idea that suited their pur-
pose, and have made enough money to
remove the debt. They had large
quantity of porous stone sawed into small
pieces and thoroughly soaked in an
odorous preparation, which impaired TO
them a durable scent. These they have
peddled throughout the State, at twenty
five cents each, representing that they
were cut from the rock of wonderful per
