How 10 Make Tea.

Most housewives understand the mys-
terry 81 making tea, but lew know the
aGvant. G Of the Russian samovar over
al ctiiot methods OF making It. The
s3mUvar is Il tea kettle which has its fire
In t;ibo running through 1t, and which,
with II few pieces CT lighted charcoal
dropped into lie tube, maintains She
water st boiling point with q MlnimIro

Russian does certainly surpass ali othe,
nations in tea making We drink it as
s:iluuiant, and take it strong IL the
morning., anu too strong at night, with
milk ass. sagar as @ general thing; we
finish aud send the tea things away but
to the Russian it is al ail-the- evening
enjoyment. The samovar stands on the
table, and the tea (the delicious yellow
variety generally is put into the
teapot, the boiling water run on,
allowed to stand moment, and then
tea is served mild rather than weak, and

dozen or more cups in the evening.
The quick making of the infusion is in
accordance with Chinese custom, but
there the parallel ends. The addition OF
sugar-to the Celestial, q barbarism-is
now opposed by some English tea-drin;1.
ers, but the over whelming majority OF
opinion is in favor of its use. It seems
to me as Indispensable to the develop

The "Lucky EScana."

On the night Of Oct. X, 1851, tai,
swarthy young man with a companion
slipped into the George Inn, Brighton
(Eng.) and said he would wait to meet
n seafaring acquaintance. In earlier
days the host had been employed IN one
Of the London palaces, and he racog-
nized in his seedy visitor Prince Charles,
son OF the monarch VINO, more than two
wears before, had been behcadel at
Whitehall. After the battle OF Worces-
ter the young Hing had experienced
many adventures and worn many dis
guises-thera was price upon lis
head; but the innkeeper, either from
oyaty Or discretion, did not offer to
modest the fugitive or lis companion.
Tie Captain OF & collier, Nicholas let
terseli, then appeared, and took Charles
and his companion, who was the Earl
ar Rochester, on beard his vessel and
iautied them in France, for which
service many things were promised.
The Restoration came, but none OF the
gifts, and Tettersell therefore sailed into
the thames aud moored off Whitehall,
where his dingy bark attracted the at
tention of'the King. who, being thus re-
minded, gave the Captain ring, a per-
petual annuity of sl00 year, and took
the collier into the navy under the name
Of the Lucky Escape.

CaSsaya.

The cultivation CT the cassava root is
ALTA acting The attention of California
farmers. It is said to be more profta-
bic to grow cassav;a than corn. Cassava
fourishes in moist bottom land. It IS
grown for the purpose Of furnishing
glucose, substance now extensively
used III the manufacture Of beer and as
substance for honey and sugar. The
figures given are as; follows: Corn yields
ta,fty pounds OF glucose to the bnshel:
eassava yields about the same amount
per bnshel. But a corn crop ranges
from thirty to sixty bushels to the acre,
while r cassava crop is often twenty
tons. So the yield OF glucose from, an
acre of cassava would be nearly ter
times greater than from an acre of corr.
The quality is superior.
