4 Great Wrong.

We notice in many of our exchanges
advertisements of Patent Medicines
which profess'to be cure for yellow
fever. This is all wrong, and mere
trlfing with human life for gain.
Yellow fever should promptly treated
by a physician and with possible by
one who is acquainted with the con-
stitutional characteristics of the pa
tient. II in, however, well known
fact that person whose blood and
liver are in healthy condition are
much less liable to contract the dis
ease than one with impure blood and
disordered liver. We, therefore, ad.
wise all our readers to prevent this
dreadful disease by purifying theil
blood and giving healthy action to
their liver by a timely use of DR.
Harris Blood and Liver Pills, the best
known agency for The purpose.

Stuart asked, Are you ready to surrender,
and trust to the mercy of the governmentp
Brown answered promptly, Mol ! prefer to
die here
His manner did not betray the least fear.
Stuart stepped aside and made the signal for
the attack, which was instantly begun with
sledge hammers to break down the door
Finding 1t would not yield. the soldiers
seized long ladder for batteripg ram, and
commenced beating the door with that, the
party within firing necessarily. / had assisted
in the barricading, fixing the fastenngs so that
| could remove them upon the first effort to get
In But was not at the door when the battering
began. and could not get to the fastenings until
the ladder was used l then quickly removed
the fastenings, and after two or three strokes of
the ladder the engine rolled partially back. max
ing small aperture, through which Lieutenant
Green, OF the marines, forced himself, jumped
on top of the engine, and stood second in the
midst Of q shower of balls, looking for John
Brown. When he saw Brown he sprang about
twelve feet at him, and gave an under
thrust of his sword striking him about
midway the body and raising him
completely from the ground Brown fell
and Green struck him several times over the
head. and, as / then supposed split his skull at
every stroke.
IL was not two feet from Brown at that time.
Of course got out of the building as soon as
possible, and did not know till some time later
that Brown not killed It seems that in
making the thrust Green's sword struck Browns
belt and did not penetrate the body. The sword
was bent double. The reason that Brown was
not killed when struck on the head was that
Green was holding his sword in the middle
striking with the hlt and making only scalp
wounds"

Tea as 1t Should BE.
Wong Chin Foo, in The Cook.

Wong Chin Foo, in The Cook.
Use china or porcelain pot If you do use
metal let it be tin, new, bright and clean; never
use it when the tin is worn out and the iron ex-
posed. If you do you are playing chemist and
forming tannate or tea ate of iron.
Use black tea Green tea when good is kept
at home. What goes abroad is bad. very bad
and horrible. Besides containing the 203
authorizations the Chinese philanthropist puts up
for the outside barbarian, it is always pervaded
by copper dust from the dirty curing pans of the
growers.
Infuse your tea Don't boil it! Place one tea
spoonful of tea in the pot and pour over it one
and half cups of boiling water, that is, water
really boiling. If your tea is poor, use more. 1t
is cheaper, though to buy good tea at the outset
Put your pot the back part of the stove, care
fully covered, so that it shall not lose its heat
and the tea it's bouquet. Let it remain there
five minutes Then drink IT.
Drink your tea plain. Don't add milk nor
sugar. Tea brokers and tea -tasters never do;
epicures never do; the Chinese never do. Milk
contains fbrin, albumen or some other such
stuff, and the tea a delicate amount of tanniE.
! Mixing the two makes the liquid turbid This
turbidity, if / remember the Cyclopedia Alright,
| is tannate of hbrin, or leather. People who put
milk in tea are therefore drinking boots and shoes
