1t is a mystery to many people how the
scourers of old clothes can make them
almost as good as new. Take for instance
a shiny old coat, waistcoat or trousers, of
broadcloth, cassimeres or diagonals. The
analyst describes the process as follows:
L scourer makes a strong, warm soap
suds and plunges the garments into it,
souses it up and down, rubs the dirty
places If necessary, puts it through a
second suds, then souses it through sew
eral waters and hangs it to dry on the
line. When nearly dry, he takes it in,
rolls it up for an hour or two and hen
pressesi it. An old cotton cloth is laid on
the outside of the coat and the iron is
passed owe that until the wrinkles are
out; but the iron is removed before the
steam ceases to rise from the goods, else
they would be shiny.
Wrinkles that are obstinate are re-
moved by laying a wet cloth over them
and passing the iron over that. If any
shiny places are seen they are treated as
the wrinkles are; the iron is lifted, while
the full cloud of steam rises, M brings
the nap up with it. In this manner we
have known the same coat and pantaloons
to be renewed time and again, and have
all the look and feel of new garments.
Good ~broadcloth and its fellow cloths will
bear many washings and look better
every time because of them.

men and maidens travelling eastward
who will miss a little diversion enjoyed by
their fathers. The cinnamon gargens of
Point de Gale were not scenes of revelry,
nor particularly interesting in themselves.
But they made a pretext for little excur-
slons, while the ship was coaling, or I'M
loading, or waiting for some maritime
event. and u goal for an hours drive
through that loveliest country upon earth.
A visit to Arab Pacha and his brothers
in exile is u very imperfect substitute for
the time honored expedition. 1t appears
that cinnamon does not pay, and we can
quite believe it when we read in the CcU-
Ion Advertiser that the price has fallen
from IS the pound to 81, and occasionally
of late to less. This disaster is caused, it
seems, by the export of ''chips," which
used to be worked up in the making of
cinnamon oil. A combination was formed
some years ago, what we call a syndicate
or u nowadays, to restrict the exporta-
ton of Chips" but it failed. Another
is concerted, which, as is hoped, will be
more successful. This syndicate, at least,
will have the good wishes of every old
traveller.

How to Make Tea.

The water to be used should boil, and 1t
should be poured on the tea Immediately
it boils; if allowed to overboil the pecu-
liar property of boiling water which acts
upon tea evaporates and eventually dis
appears. Teas should not be a decoction,
but an infusion. Ii allowed to stew it
becomes little better than a decoction of
fannie acid. Tea that is overdraWn is
hurtful to the nerves and to the diges-
ton. AS to the precise number of min
utes which should be devoted to the pro-
cess of drawing, some people will say five
minutes, some seven, some will perhaps
go as far as ten, but our experience is
in favor of six; this suffices to bring u
the flavor, quality and strength. just as
much tea as is wanted should be made
no more. Make fresh tea as often as it is
required. The replenishing of the tea
pot with fresh hot water is very objec-
tionable. AS the thorough heating of the
receptacle is of the first importance, the
teapot should be made thoroughly hot be-
fore the tea is put in it. The e~arthenware
teapot is preferred to all others by con-
noisseurs, and it is superfiuous to say that
whatever utensils is used for this purpose
should be Immediately clean.
Tea is an extremely delicate article. Its
susceptibility to the odors of commodities
near it is u source of danger and deterior-
alton, as 1t readily takes up the smell Of
coffee, cocoa, spices, cheese, bacon or
other articles OF pronounced odor. The
complaints sometimes made about tea
would probably not arise if always Kept
in places free from such c~ontagIon. Tea
should be stored in a warm dry place /:
unnecessary exposure to the air should
be avoided. A pound of tea would make
12S ups.-Lond0n Telegraph.

Jumping on Hudson.


The Eoenang Journal yesterday
Joined in the Republican howl against
Hudson county. This is wise and
patriotic in a newspaper which is
published in Hudson, and which used
to possess some influence among the
people. OF course the residents of
this end of the State, like the paper
which they support and %patronize, to
tell them that they are bribers and
bride takers, repeaters, ballot-box
suffers, in fact the concentrated
essence of political villiany. 1t must
be especially pleasant to active re-
publicans of Jersey City to find them
selves held responsible for the party
feat, and scathingly reviled for not
preventing it.
Now, for III own part, we were will
ing to fight the Republican leaders of
this county with every honorable
weapo We did the best we could to
defeat them, not only alphabetically.
but disastrously. But now that the
end is accomplished, we should be
sorry to try to steal their personal
honor from them.
We are confident Colonel Toffey,
Judge Seymour, General Ramsey and
the other Republican leaders did all
they could in the hopeless fight for
Grubb, and made strenuous efforts to
win legislative votes for their party.
One prominent Republican, Mr.. Die
kinson, went far beyond justifiable
limits to help his party. They were
defeated because success was impossi-
BILE. They might as well have tried to
bale out the North River as stop the
Democratic tide.
1t seems to us peculiarly ungracious
in the organ of their own party to add
to their discontinue by unmerited
reproaches.
WITH strange faulty the Repub-
lican organs and orators keep on
abusing Hudson because her people
gave Albeit and equal rights q large
majority of their votes. To ordinary
minds this would seem to be very bad
politics. What can the Republican
leaders hope to gain by heaping in
suit upon an entire community? Will
not even Republicans living here be
disguised at this coarse abuse of their
home county.
THE leaders of the Republican
party have lost their heads. The sue
cess of 1888 has intoxicated them, and
seemingly not even the rebuke in
fiicted by the people three weeks ago
has brought them to their senses. 1t
is evident that they still seriously en-
terrain the idea of establishing a
system of Federal control over cleo
tions. They had better beware.
Armed revolution has time and again
been precipitated by less serious ag-
erosion ON constitutional rights, and
there are many who think that, if
the liberties Of the country are to be
