A Blow at Iced Tea.

And, waiter, bring me some iced tea. >

How is this
First. thc cold water Is not rood for
your stomach. and then az a preventive
from any epidemic il is Wei 10 bo,! all
fluids used for drinking purposes. Tea
taken hot is more wholesome than iced
tea. TO prove this just look al the
Chinese. Their population IS enormous,
but il could never have increased to the
present numbcrif cpidomics had ravagcl
that empire as they have those Of the
west. The Chinese are a healthy people
in spite Of their indescrihably filthy sur
romdings. | attribute this to their use
Of tea as a beverage. This is the only
redecming feature Of their lives. They
DO not drink it iced. but hot, and Ia make
il they have to boil the water Ia th"
presence OF IN epidemic of cholera, y

The following are the facts in "A case
which came up for trial some ume
since. A gentleman. who for
fence We will call \. made anotc pay
able To b., hy whom it Mas Endorsed to
c. The latter wrote upoa the back OF
the note. For value received, hereby
guarantee the payment of the within
note" and endorsed it to ID. The in
dor3emcnts were all made before the
note fell due, and ut the date of itS
maturity the maker WAS solvent. The
note was never paid, and L. heard
nothing OF j. until he was sued by ID.
1t appeared from the evidence that 1T
the time the SUIT was brought A., the
maker, was insolvent. The court de-
cidcd that Il. was released from his
obligations because the note had nos
been presented for payment at the
proper time. The single question for
consideration was. therefore, could {.
escapc by showing that ID. hail been
negligent and that A. and b., both OF
whom ere primarily responsible. had
been discharged By reason OF such
negligence.
A divided court, held. however,. that
c. must pay the note. BY his contract
of guaranty he became absolutely liable
to pay in case the other parties, prior
in point of time, failed to do 50. A.
guarantor is usually a favorite in the
courts. and this case was a surprise to
many who thought {. should have
been released.

Oatmeal ut Home and Abroad.

In making oatmeal porridge. the
meal is stirred into boiling water with
"A porridge stick. while the water is
kept all the time at a brisk boil. Care
should be taken to prevent the meal
from forming knots. n il will do If
dropped into the water in too large
quantities. The best way j. TO take a
handful of the meal and let il drop
into the receptacle by the rubbing of
the thumb against the fingers. At
first the water will show cbullition or
boiling up soon after the mcal begins
To 90 into it, and this will be kept UP
until about the time when enough Of
the meal has been added. Fine meal
is more likely to knot than the coarse
meal. 1T takes experienced tell when
just the mount OF meal needed has
been used, the thickness Of the por-
ridge being the test. No measurement
of water and meal will do. The oat-
inca, may be stirred in cold water be-
fore cooking. but this makes more la
Dor and the cooking isuot SO well done

water mixing is resQrtea TO. the meal
SHOULD be ground To the finest i0ur.
If any other meal i mixed with oat-
meal, a. is sometimes done. rice meal
is regarded - { d best. though bar

rice meal should be used. but straight
oatmeal would DC preferred by the
true lover Of this cereal.
Acidity is developed when oatmeal
IS soaked in water for Il few DAYS, and
this meal makes the ''lummerv" Of the
oatmeal districts of England, Scotland
and Ireland.
Milk is used instead of water in max
in mill porridge; less meal is re-
quIred. but more water. Ale is also
used in place Of water. Porridgc is
eaten mixed with milk. and in the old
countries, with beer, Cane syrup and
butter are also used.
In making water brose.' boiling
water is poured on IA handful of oat-
meal in II bowl, until the mess is OF
