corner. what do you know about the
weather."
The man in the thin clothes lost his
grip again, and feebly said "he didn't
know very much about it, that was a
fact" And then he tried to be cheerful
and work in little joke about nobody
being able 20 know much about the
weather, but the man in the corner
sat down on him with a tremendous
outburst.
"No, sir! should say you didn't.
You come into this car and force your
self on the attention of stranger, and
begin to talk to me about the weather,
ust as though you owned it, and find
you don't know solitary thing about
the matter yourself selected for your
topic Of conversation; you don't know
one thing about meteorological con-
ditions, principles or phenomena; you
can't tell me why it is warm i'll August
and cold in December; you don't know
icicles form faster in the sunlight than
they do in the shade; you don't know
why the earth grows colder as it comes
near the sun; you can't tell why man
can be sunstruck in the shade; you
can't tell me how cyclone is formed
nor how the trade winds blow; you
couldn't find the calm center ola storm
if your life depended on it; you don't
know what a sirocco is, nor where the
southwest monsoon blows; you don't
know the average rainfall in the United
States for the past and current year;
you don't understand the formation of
fog, and you can't explain why the dew
falls at night and dries up in the cay;
you don't know why a wind dries the
ground more quickley than hot sun;
you don't know one solitary thing
about the weather, and you are just
like a thousand and one other people
who always begin talking about the
weather because they don't know any
thing else, when, by the Cave of Boreau,
sir, they know less about the weather
than they do about anything else in
the world.
And the man in the corner glared up
and down at the timid passengers in
the South Hill car, but no man burst

An Expert ON Tea Making

Most housewives understand the
mystery of making tea, but few know
the advantage of the Russian samovar
over all other methods of making it.
The samovar is tra-kettle which has
It's fire in tube running through it,
and. with a few pieces of charcoal
dropped into the tube, maintains the
water at boiling point with minimum
of evaporation and gives it at that
point on the table. And as a beverage
the Russian does certainly surpass all
other nations in tea making. We
drink it as stimulant, and take it
strong in the morning and too strong
at night, with milk and sugar as gen.
eral thing; we finish and send the tea
things away; but to the Russian it's an
all-the-eyening enjoyment. The sam
ovar 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 mo-
ment, and then tea is served mild
rather than weak, and more water
poured on at once-a little tea added
from time to time if needed. I have
often seen Russian friends drink q
dozen or more cups in an 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 barbarism
is now opposed by some English
tea-drinkers, but the overwhelming ma
jority of opinion is in favor of its use.
1t seems to me as indispensable TO the
development of the best appreciation
of the tea, as salt is to that of beef
steak The sugar is so neutral as an
emollient that it absolutely DISCUSSES
no quality of the tea, and | hold it to
be cardinal principle in gustatics that
where two flavors can be so combined
as to sacrifice neither, an advance IN
art is achieved. And the same is true
of coffee-tne addition of sugar is
development of the beverage. But
milk does not come under the same
category. When people drink tea as
strong as most of us do at breakfast
the intense bitter is Modified by milk,
but weak tea is made insipid by it.
The Russians add q slice of lemon,
the only addition after sugar which
does not deteriorate in the quality of
delicate tea; but he also takes little
rum, q distinct departure from the
purist standard, due probably to his
general imbibing propensity. Both
rum and cognac, having distinct
fiavors which disguise the quality of
the tea, are abuses unless the tea is
bad. A delicate yellow tea, with sugar
and lemon, is, I'VE judge, the perfcc-
ton of tea.drinking if made with the
samovar. A hint to economists on
long sleeping of tea (for boiling is a
horrible barbarism never to be dream
ed of): The samovar is arranged SO as
to allow the tea-pot to stand in the
chimney, keeping the tea at point
just below the boiling indefinitely, and
when the tea is of an old crop the
flavor viii be greatly and judiciously
developed by fifteen or twenty minutes
standing on the samovar top. A new
crop tea does not require this treat

A Young Bear Hunter.

Mr.. Simpson has a number Of sheep
grazing on Swift Creek, Trinity county,
and, knowing the beauties of this eli
mate in summer, removed his family
to that place One evening last week
his son and daughter, aged respectively
10 and years, went down to drive the
sheep into camp, and found them only
short distance away, homeward
bound, with large bear following
closely in tier wake. The boy told
his sister to crouch down and hide in
the bush, and he did likewise. When
the bear came along the boy fired
several shots at him with a revolver
which he had. Hearing the shots and
not knowing what they meant, Mr..
Simpson left camp in hurry to see
what occasioned the shooting, and soon
came in sight of mis- children, and the
dogs rushed excitedly down the hill
side on the trail of the bear The boy
yelled that he had hit him, and to
come quick or they would lose him.
Sampson joined the chase and followed
the trail by the blood until it became
too dark to see. Next morning he
went out again and found the bear dead
only short distance from where they
gave up the chase the evening before.
The boy had shot him through the
body, just back of the shoulders.

Gave Himself Away.

A Portland, Oregon dispatch Of July
9Th says: On the evening of July 4th a
drunken man came to the city jail and
began talking to Captain Luther, who
was on watch. He was very much
under the influence of liquor, and made
the brag that he had killed Chinaman
in Chico. Luther Immediately locked
him up on the charge of drunk and
disorderly conduct. The prisoner gave
the name of j. l.. Keifer. In the
morning when sober he denied that his
name was Keller, and gave Reynolds
as his name. Chief Happens the next
morning telegraphed to Chico, asking
whether such person as Keller, was
wanted for murder, and received an af-
firm alive answer; also that $500 was
offered for his arrest. Happens tele-
graphed description, and was told to
hold him. Tonight officer Randall
arrived here from Chico, and identified
Keifer as the murderer of Chinaman
in 1879. The prisoner refuses 10 be
interviewed and maintains silence to-
ward the reporters and officers. Moth
ing is known of him here except
that he came from the Dalles few
days before the Fourth with a band of
horses, which he sold.

A Cross Eyed Bear.

Sometimes children make remarks
about things they see and hear in
church, that will make the Oldest in
habitant laugh, though the aforesaid
inhabitant may not have laughed be
fore in years. A little girl in Chicago
went home frcm church last Sunday
and asked her mother if she ever saw
oss-eyed bear" The mother said
she lad never, to her knowledge, seen
such an animal Then the child asked
if there would be any cross eyed bear
in the circus, and the mother said there
probably might not be any, and asked
what put the idea into her head. The
girl said the minister gave out the no
tees of the prayer meetings, and soci-
ables, and picnic, and then took up a
song-book and read, ga consecrated
cross I'd BEAR" and she thought may
be he was going to read notice about
the circus on the lake front, cut the
crowd commenced singing and she
couldn't hear what he did say about
the circus. The mother Rugged the
little darling, ard then tried to explain
about tine 'cross I'd bear" but it was
not a success.

A Child Swallows a Hat-Pin
From the Osweoo Palladium

From the OSweg0 Palladium.
About two weeks ago a daughter of
Mr.. William Hindbough, aged about
20 m0nths, fell from chair backward,
and in her struggles on the floor swal-
lowed something which she had in her
mouth, and which was supposed to be
8 hair-pin, from the information that
could be obtained. The child has been
in precarious condition ever since,
suffering excruciating pain. The con-
ditions became so serious that DR..
Eddy, the attending physician, decided
that an operation was necessary if the
child's life was to be saved at all, and
with the assistance of Dr. Clark per-
formed the same. To the astonishmeHt
of the operating physicians, the foreign
substance was found to be not hair
pin, but steel hat-pin, little over five
inches long, and having a large jet
head, and which was found in the
stomach and very successfully remov-
ed. A slight protuberance appeared
on the left side, just above the lower
rib. This was cut into and the point
of the pin was revealed. There are
hopes for the recovery of the child
