How to Make Iced Tea.

Iced tea is constantly growing in
favor, and is now considered standard
beverage in many homes. Some enter
prising grocers also furnish a trial cup
to their patrons, and in this way sam
pie their teas. The question was once
asked us. '.How is iced tea madep"
and while some OF our readers may
smile at the question, yet we assure
them there's nothing very ridiculous
in it. To be sure 1t is only to drop a
piece of ice into a goblet of tea and the
thing is done. But then, the tea itself!
It isn't every one who knows how to
make that tea, and to them this hint
will not be Improbable. Put the tea
in an earthen or agate-ware pot and
set on the back OF the stove where the
pot and contents will get thoroughly
warm; then pour on water that has
been freshly boiled. and boiling thor
oughly at the time; let it stand on the
back OF the stove for fifteen minutes,
by which time the tea will be perfectly
drawn. II you desire the tea to be
perfect and to remain so, separate the
liquid from the leaves by pouring it
off into another vessel. If your inten-
tion is to spoil it, you have only to
boil 1t, and let it remain with the
leaves in the pot.-Table Talk.

Sudden Loss of Memory

Sudden forgetfulness is not an un-
usual thing in the pulpit. Aubrey, the
antiquary, says that when he was a
freshman at college he heard DIR. San
derson, Bishop OF Lincoln, well known
for his work, '.Nine Cases of Con-
science" break down in the middle of
the Lords Prayer. Even the great
French preacher Massillon once stopped
in the middle of a sermon from de-
feet of memory; and Massillon him
self recorded that the same thing hap
pened through excess OF apprehension
to two other preachers whom he went
to hear in different parts of the same
day. Another French preacher stopped
in the middle of a sermon and was un-
able to proceed. The pause was, how
ever, got over ingeniously. Friends, =
said he, II had forgot to say that a
person much afflicted is recommended
to your immediate prayers. = He meant
himself. He fell on his knees, and b :
fore he rose he had recovered the
thread of his discourse, which he con-
cIuded without his want Of memory
being preceived, Chambers journal

CHEAP ALUMINIUM.
A Method for CheapIy Producing the
Coming Substitute for Iron.

A Method for CheapIy Producing the
Coming Substitute for Iron.
Experiments have resulted in an ex-
traordinary discovery, if the state
ments made by those interested are
correct. The discovery is that alu-
minum, which now costs $4,000 a ton
and is produced only in France, can be
obtained anywhere by a most simple
process and at less than one-hundredth
part of the present expense.
The Importance of this discovery
can be judged when it is recollected
that aluminium is the most generally
diffused metal on earth, and has all
the beauty of silver, besides being nom
furnishing, non-corrosive, more last
ing than silver, with only one-fourth
its weight. In addition, aluminium
alloyed ene-tenth of one per cent.
with iron or steel increases the
homogeneous and tensile strength
of the metal nearly half, while for
electro plating purposes aluminium is
superior to either gold or silver.
The experiments began in an attempt
to extract aluminium chemically from
common clay and cryolite. This was
accomplished in novel manner, and
the operators obtained thereby metallic
aluminium, chemically pure. Their
method was based upon the theory of
substitution and smelling the ore in a
water-jacketed steel furnace, a crucible
being useless to resist the strong fluor-
ide fuxes.
When the mass was quite liquid it
vas conveyed into a converter or
covered Stag pot holding about four
hundred pounds, and the aluminium ex-
tracted therefrom by a syphon tap.
The Stag was returned to the furnace,
serving the purpose of iux with more
ore This direct continuous process
obviated the necessity OF the usual
costly intermediary elements and made
aluminium about as cheap as copper

POOR MARBLE HEART.

Ue Meets the Man With the Iron Fist and
Learns - Lesson.
A young man from some interior
town, who was in that condition known
as sprung" was seeking skirmish
at the corner of Woodward and Jeffer-
son avenues yesterday. He said he
was the young man of the Marble
Heart, whatever that is, and that he
felt lonesome because he hadn't she'd
somebody's blood for three long hours.
The policeman on the beat warned in
a fatherly way to scatter himself over
the city, but he replied:
"Not a scatter! Honor chains me
here. / am the man of the Marble
Heart"
..Yes, but you don't want to be locked
up, take it." protested the officer.
ssThere's no use in getting into trouble
because your heart isn't made on tho
regular plan.
But he wouldn'tgo. He wanted goro
and other high-priced summer goods,
and waitinguntil the officer was a block
away he bristled up to man with q
basket on his arm and dared him TO
look cross-eyed.
81 warn ye to kape OFF, exclaimed
the man as he moved along.
The man of the Marble Heart moved
after him. Then the basket dropped,
the young man went into the gutter in
heap, and sport declared him
knocked out in tbs first round. The.
policeman returned and picked him up
aud called the wagon, and 1t was not
until the victim reached the station
| that he spoke. Then he said:

FOR FLEsHY PEOPLE.
An Outline of the Schweninger Treatment
for Obesity.


for Obesity.
The system of Prof. Ernst Schwenin.
ger for the treatment of obesity, which
was introduced here about two years
ago, has by this time been sufficiently
tested to demonstrate that any body
who will determinedly follow the regi-
men prescribed by it can reduce his
flesh to any reasonable degree desired,
it being understood, of course, that his
physical condition is not such by rea-
son of incurable heart or kidney
disease as to make reduction perilous.
And there is just one thing about it
that is hard to get used to. That is the
absolute prohibition of all liquids dur
ing meals and for an hour before and
an hour after each meal. 1t does not
seem so difficult to do without fluids to
wash down ones food until it is tried,
and the iron pressure of habit in sip
ping and even gulping water, wine,
milk. tea, or coffee while eating is
realized. The very fact of prohibition
seems to make one more intensely
thirsty, and the juiciest food takes on
the astringent dryness of chewed
pomegranate rind. Of course, one be-
comes accustomed to it after awhile,
eventually does not feel any desire for
liquids at the prohibited times, and
even finds less disposition to drink at
my time than he had before. Then
his reward comes, not only in the re-
duction of flesh, but in surprising
diminution of the nuisance of perspira-
| ton, which is the misery of all fat
men.
1t must not be supposed that this
shutting off ofliquids is the whole of the
treatment, though it appears to be the
most important requirement. That
ranking next to it is that one must not
gorge with food, especially food in
which sugar and starch are largely
component parts.
The Iron Chancellor still lives by
Schweninger rules and in doing SO
keeps down his tendency to growing
fat and remains wonder of vitality
and vigor at his advanced age. No
longer ago than last April one of the
| special dispatches told how he re-
stricted himself in eating to a light
breakfast and substantial dinner, with
no liquids at meals and only glass OF
wine daily, taken just before retiring.
One experiment with the bogus system
of three pints of water before breakfast
by Bismarck would doubtless afford
Germany another first-class funeral.
There is no royal road to relief from
corpulence that may be travelled with
ease and safety, and without self-sac-
rifice. Nostrums are from time to time
advertised as affording it-such as one
now doomed in England, and finding
not few dupes here-but they do not
Starvation la Banting, and the nos.
trum cures that profess to reduce glut-
tons while practicing their gluttony il
they will only .'take a wineglassful al
each meal" are alike dangerous hum
bugs. Renouncing liquids seems to be
demonstrated the safest and best thing
when accompanied by due moderation
in eating. But in no case is it abso
lutely safe for "a fat person to adopt any
really effective measures for reducing
weight without thorough preliminar,
knowledge of the actual condition O
his vital organs.-N. Y. Sun.
