4 Cap of Tea

There is tea and tea; and the deeoc-
ton that is sometimes served in this
name is a terror to gods and men. A
cup of tea, in its finer significance, is the
symbol of hospitality. Properly made it
is the nectar and ambrosia of the gods.
It should be served in the dantiest of
porcelain, and it should be made at the
time of serving. The poet Longfellow is
said to have always made his tea at his
own table, of a peculiar kind expressly
s-nt to him from abroad. It was Liquid
amber, full of sunshine and inspiration.
To make a cup of tea is a fine art. The
most delicate flavor is obtained by a ju.
dicious mixture of Oolong black, English
breakfast and Japan tea. There is a
brand of the Garden Formosa that is all
balm and fragrance and sunshine, and
that, combined with the Orange Pekoe,
is a beverage fit for the gods. But a-cup
Of tea cannot be trlly enjoyed a Ia soli-
taire. Its very nature demands the social
circle. The tea that is made of these ar
~tistically composed mixtures; that comes
fresh and fragrant from the boiling water
poured over it; that is drawn off in
dainty, decorative porcelain-such tea
has nothing in common with tea as served
in a philistine fashion. To make a cup
Of tea is a household rite. 1t requires q
lady to perfectly execute this-no unedu-
Gated servant a possibly bring to it the
a~elicaey of touch and finer adjustment
essential t D its success. It is an art-to
serve tea that is nectar and ambresia.-

Nick was there, and that, if alive, he

he saw the girl on the raft, waved a
dingy hand at her, and called out some
thing which I could not distinguish.
The girls face lightened as much as such
a stolid face could; she lifted her pole as
if it had been a fan and swung it in the
air, her raft reeling as she did so.

train moved on slowly, the girl on the

at the bottom of the water and gazing
faithfully at Nick as long as he was in the

The bright genius is ready to be SO
forward as to often betray him into great
errors of judgement, without a constant
bride on the tongue.
-" Truly there is something in the IN
ruff1ed calm of nature that overawes our
little anxieties and doubts; the sight of
the deep blue sky and the clustering stars
above seem to impart a quiet to the
mind.
Every permanent state of mind is large
ly the effect of habit. Just as we can
perform an action so continually that it
becomes habitual, so we can encourage
conditions of mind till they too come to

Men are not to be judged by their

Fashion Notes.

Tucks are revived for spring frocks.
Bordered stutfs are to be worn again.
Striped cheviots come in new shades
and colors.
New hats and bonnets are as high as
ever or higher.
The new cotton goods are as handsome
as India silks.
Velvet surfaced waterproof garments
are much worn.
Puffs and pads around the armholes are
things of the past.
Ineh-wide stripes are the feature in
spring dress woolens.
Woollen ribbons having a rough sur
face look like bands of astrakhan.
Straight skirt draperies are equally
popular with those of extra looping.
Wide straight linen collars with turned
down points are stylish this season.
Little girls Tam O'shanter hats are of
velvet with gilt quilts thrust in the side.
The neck bands of dresses increase in
width, some of them being two inches
wide.
Light gray wool end velvet suits are
stylish for young ladies' walking cos
tunes.
The Gretchen dress for little girls is q
favorite style, and it can be made in all
kinds of materials.
Stylish little house jackets made of
creamy white cloth are trimmed with
gold OF silver galloon.
Pretty and thickly beaded GALLONS are
used as belts and fastened with snowy
clasps. Collars and cuffs are formed of
the same galloons which are used to
brighten dark dresses.
Eider-down flannel wrappers made
princesse shape are worn by young mat
rons. Cream white, pale blue and scarlet
are the favorite colors. These pretty
wrappers require no trimming except
buttons, ribbon bows or a sash.
Pleatings and iounces are entirely dis
pensed with on new dress skirts. One
narrow pleating or s'dust ruf1e" is all
that a walking skirt requires beside the
long full drapery which really forms the
~overdress and entirely covers the lining
or the underskirt.

Fdncted Ailments.

A well-known physician several years
ago was spending his summer vacation
at the country-seat of a leader in public
affairs, a man noted for his moral cour-
age and powerful intellect. He was
shocked on the evening of his arrival to
see his host turn pale, stagger to u sofa,
and gasp loudly for breath. The wife
of the f%ainting man, a worn, wan little
woman, quietly brought a glass of water,
and stood by him until he recovered.
He rose presently. "It is my heart,
doctor. Agonizing pains! l am conf
dent that it is angina pectoris. My end
will be a sudden one"
"Does your physiciang"-began his
guest, shocked and sympathetic.
"N-no. But know. The pain is
simply intolerable."
Professional etiquette kept the visitor
silent, though he shrewdly suspected the
pain vyas referable to fatulency. His
host speedily recovered his spirits, and
the evening passed pleasantly.
The next morning, however, the great
statesman appeared at the breakfast-table
in a gloomy, irritable mood. The doors
and windows were all shut, the temper
allure of the house was kept at feNer-hea},
and servants were scolded because,
"knowing the condition of his lungs,
they permitted draughts to enter"
II am convinced that I have all the
p%remonitory symptoms of pneumonia" he
insisted. His wife appeared, pale and
heavy-eyed, having been up ali night in
attendance on him. As he really had
