AMONG the most f%astidious people
there is an impression that the flavor OF
tea is wholly ruined by a journey on
salt water. All the crowned heads and
wealthy nobility of Europe use tea,
therefore, which costs them three times
fshe price paid in America for y brand
bearing the same name, but which is
brought by Russian traders in immense
caravans overland from China. The
trade is very profitable, and it is largely
TO protect it that Russia is SO jealous OF
her Asiatic possessions.

= In justification of their action in
lowering tho American flag to half mast
in Salt Lake City on the Fourth, the
Mormons say that it was emblematic of
mourning for the death of liberty, mean
ing their own freedom in breaking the
laws Of the country. Should Justice
get the bandage off her eyes for a short
time the whole Mormon Church may
yet go into mourning for this insult to
the American flag.

I At is expected that the forthcoming
annual report of the Postmaster Gener-
al will contain a recommendation for n
,'o11e-cent letter postage. His argument
lis that it will be better to reduce letter
( postage to such a minimum that even
the poorest a afford the luxury of the
mails than to keep on adding to the
enormous surplus in the Treasury
wants, and thatit is not the intention of
zaAe Government to make the postal SER
vice a source of revenue. 1t was de-
signed for the best interests of the peo-
tple.

i SOME of the testimony in the recent
case of the Bell Telephone Company
against the Molecure Company was of a
character to raise very serious question
as to the ability of the former company
to maintain the monopoly which has
ttbeen built up on its alleged priority of
Invention. 1t was shown, for instance,
that Alfred &. Holcomb invented and
patented a speaking telephone in 1859
60, the Bell patent dating back only to
1876.

No single industry is making moro
satisfactory progress in the United
States than the manufacture of silk. In
1883 the value of the finished product
was $39, 464, 541, and in 1884 about S4O.-
100000. The percentage of imported
silk goods has diminished from 92.9 5 in
1850 to 5 80 in 1883, so that now the
United States are making nearly one-
half the silk goods consumed in the
country.

Searching for His Mother.

Last Thursday young man named
James Leonard was in this city in
search of his widowed mother, whom
he is very anxious to find. and whom
he has not seen in many years. His
parents at one time lived in St. Louis
ard his father. he stated, was drown
ed in the Mississippi at that point
several years ago. A thorough
search by Leonard in st. Louis failed
to reveal the whereabouts of his
mother, but friends told him they
thought she was located here. To
this city he directed his steps, but
met with disappointment, no one re-
membering her The anxious son
left that afternoon for Slater, where
he has faint hopes of gaining clew.
Leonard is railroad man and has
accumulated enough of this world &
goods to make his parent, in her old
age, comfortable. should he succeed
in fintiing her. He says that twenty.
three years ago, when a small boy,
! he was bound out by his parents until
he became of age to a man named
Gilmore, living at Centralia, ILL.,, al
which place he has also been to look
for his mother. Leonard elected
much sympathy here.

How to Make Good Coffee,

You published from the Atlanta
Constitution a Georgia woman's re-
cipt for making coffee: It's nom
sense. Her coffee is stallowed to
boil q while" Thus she gets rid OF
the fine aroma and extracts the tan
min, which IS not healthful. Now,
let any woman who has not reputa-
tien for fine coffee try this receipt
Buy the best coffee and grind it to
the consistency of an ounce of coffee
for every person. One pound Ut
coffee will make sixteen cups, and
no more. Have everything clean,
and as soon as the wafer in the tea
kettle begins to boil moisten the cof-
fee gently, and leave it to soak and
swell for three minutes; then add a
little more water; don't be in hur-
ry; continue TO add water until you
have obtained not more than large
coffee cupful Of til. extract. If care
fully done the entire virtue Of the
coffee will be in the cupful of liquor
at the end of five minutes. For four
person use quart of pure milk and
have it piping hot; heat the large
cups by pouring INTO them hot water |;
now divide the coffee into the four
cups, each of which will be one-quar-
ter full /; fill with the boiling milk.
This is pure breakfast coffee, the
coffee Of the gods, of which no man
after drinking would be SO base as
to call for a second cup. Such COZ
fee can not be had at any restaurant
in New York He that drinketh it
this morning will be unhappy il he
falls to get it Tomorrow mqrRine.
But these instructions must he fol-
lowed TO the letter-N. Y. Times.

working on the ditch were taking a
little holiday, the cow concluded that
the worl: of pipe laying was pro-
crossing rather slowly; SO she laid
herself down wrong end foremost in
one of the bitches and tied her tail
to the end of their pipe and then
covered herself up with dirt, SO that
when the hands returned to work ii
required thirty-two of them two and
one-sixteenth hours hard digging tc
get her out. This remarkable tran.
saction is accounted for only from
the fact that the COW is a regular
reader of the s'Great Religious
Weekly" (Mexico LEDGER) published
here, which fully endorses every
public improvement and is willing
to make any sacrifice for the good o
the town.-Harry, Mexico CORES
