tions are made at the table, which is

ence, judgment and exactness; il they
are brought on the table ready made,
it still requires judgment so to appOr-
ton them that they shall prove suffi-
cient in quantity for the family, and
that the elder members shall have the
stronger cups. Often persons pour out
tea, who, not being at all aware that
the tea grows stronger as they pro-
coed, bestow the poorest cup upon the
greatest stranger, and give the stronger
to very young member OF the family,
who would be better without any.
Where several cups Of equal strength
are wanted, you should pour a little
into each, and then go back. inverting
the order as you fill them, and the
strength will be apportioned properly.

time Of war, including the balloon tele-
graph; and the various forms of cleo
trio firing apparatus, mines, and tor

Dakota's Turtle Mountain.

Turtle mountain isn't much Of a
mountain when it comes to altitude,
but it makes great show on the
prairie. Its highest point, Butte St
Paul, is only $500 feet above the sea,
and its general level is only 500 feet
higher than the prairies around. 1t
is big hump or swell, two-thirds Of
it in North Dakota and the remain
der in Manitoba. This rounded
tableland, for that is the real forma-
ton. is fifty miles long by thirty-fve
miles wide. Forests Of oak, birch and
aspen cover it. Countless springs
break from the edges and send little
streams down to lose themselves in
the prairies. There are numerous
lakes on and about the mountain, and
there is Ignite coal in great quantities
under the surface. This Ignite seems
to be geological cross between btu
minous coal and peat 1t is very soft

A FLYING RIFLE Bull
LET BY ELECTRICITY.

Photographs of the interior of the gun
are even taken by means of the electric
light. and the information obtained by
these means are most valuable, and is
manifestly more satisfactory than that
given by the method Of taking impress
sions OF the bore in soft rubber.
Photography has also been made use
of in studying the motion of the pro-
jectile. In the case Of large guns in
Simultaneous views of the shot during its
flight have been successfully taken by
means of a camera provided with q
quick-acting shutter. This method is
not applicable, however. to small arms.
A rifle-bullet is very small object, and
the camera must be set very near lis
path in order to obtain a picture of
sufficient size to be of use; bnt the
nearer the instrument is placed to the
moving object to be photographed, the
more rapid is the motion of the image
over the plate, and no instantaneous"
or quick-acting shutter could possibly
be made to operate with sufficient ra-
pidlty, or at the proper instant, TO give
a sharply defined picture. The desired
end is accomplished, however, by the
aid of electricity. The camera is provided
with an extremely sensitive plate and
placed in dark room, through which
the bullet is made to pass. The instant
the bullet is in front of the camera it
breaks an electric circuit, producing a
spark which illuMinates the bullet for an
instant, and its image is impressed upon
the sensitive plate. The duration of the
electric spark is almost infinitesimal,
and since the plate is affected only dur
ing the continuance of the spark, we'll

at greater velocity than that of sound

condensation of the air in front of the
bullet, the vacuum left behind it, and

ton; and they afford information which
is of value in determining the best shape

CaterplIlars Tasting Like Almonds and
Spiders Equal to Nuts.
Only some twenty years ago the
scientific Michelet urged upon us TO
regard the insect world from dietetic
point of view. Caterpillars, he told
us, taste like almonds, spiders like
nuts. and, as for ants, with little but
ter and sugar they make a sweetmeat
fit to set before king But ant-eating
is far from uncommon; negroes, both
in Africa and their descendants in the
West Indies, relish them exceedingly.
So do the Indians OF Central America,
and Herrera states that the Panches of
North Reyno de Grando keep them in
yards and breed them, although he
quite forgets to tell us by what
means they are prevented from
escaping. The Bushmen Of South
Africa eat white ants, spiders,
grasshoppers, moths and grubs; the
natives of Australia relish maggots;
the Hottentots consider the uncleaned
entrails of animals to be delicious eat
ing. and many aboriginal tribes in
North America revel in rattlesnake
soup. boiling poison and all. The
flesh of the lion is also reckoned by
some tribes a luxury, but there is this
drawback to obtaining it, that posi-
bly, you may furnish dinner for the
lion instead Of him for. you, AT
Christmas, 1874, some score Of con-
tributors and draughtsmen of the
Chase Hustree dined together at
NANCY restaurant. in Paris, under the
presidency of NJ. Firmin Didot, to
taste the ham and heart of the last
lion killed in the environs of Phil
lippe Vile, Algeria, by NJ. Con-
stance Cheret The flesh of the lion
was found to be particularly firm and
close grained, like that Of the horse,
but nevertheless quite palatable. The
ham, though especially cooked, seems
to have met with only success d'es-
time, and the heart, skillfully prepared
with truffies, was found somewhat
tough and difficult Of digestion. But
a more curious meal still was that
provided by an eccentric old Ma
jor, who once invited three friends
to dinner, consisting entirely Of sauces.
The soup took the form of gravy
sauce, and oyster and lobster took the
place OF filet-de-roe. Egg sauce rep
resented the sirloin. bread sauce was
there to remind them of game. and
brandy sauce as hint for pudding.
The sauce boats were duly emptied by
the guests, and after each the wine

guests, between excess Of lobster sauce
and cognac were all the worse for the
banquet; but that proved rather the
weakness Of their stomachs than the

DEAFNESS CAN'T BE CURED

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-

The blackbirds have organized a
camp, roost or conclave of some kind
in the eastern part Of the town of Wash
ington, H., which is something remark
able. They have assembled in count
less numbers, and the noise and racket
which they keep up and the whirring of
their wings have become very trouble
some. The mayor has given permission
to shoot the birds, and thousands are
slaughtered every evening, the time
when they congregate. Strange to say,
the shooting does not seem to brighten
or disturb them in the least, nor do their
numbers seem to diminish. These
blackbird camps are quite common in
Illinois, but one of such magnitude as
this is very rarely seen.
