Delicious Indian Tea.

AS you near Darjeeling you find many
of the hard woods of our American mount
aims, the rose begins TO bloom, and there
are tea plantations By the hundreds of
acres. The tea Of the Himalayas is the
best in the world, and | would advise
American housekeepers 10 try the Indian
tea. There is a tea in Thibet which has
the flavor of milk TO such degree that
when used it has all the properties Of good
tea mixed with the most delicious Of Jer-
sey cream. This Himalayan tea has the
favor Of flowers. II is pure and clear, and
it is supplanting the Chinese tea IN the
English markets.-Frank q. Carpenter S

It was worth while receiving a compli-
ment from Dickens, because it was turned
with art. know of one note in this coun-
try so felicitous in expression as TO deserve
publicity. It was addressed to a young
girl who had been a constant attendant on
MS readings. which were to her a dramatic
-evelation. Going up the steps of Stein
way hall, New York, on the occasion Of
Dickens New Years eve reading, this girl
vas met by friend who stopped her, say
ng, I've a message for you from the
thief" Dickens was always called the
,hief'' by his intimate friends. Il asked
him if he saw you in the audience. See
nerr replied Dickens; yes, God bless her!
She's the best audience l ever had
And I've message for Mr.. Dickens"
answered the delighted girl Wbereupon
she drew forth basket of violets which
graced the readers desk during the even
ing. and ELECTED the following response:
Ny DEAR MRS. Field entreat yo-n to accept
nv most cordial thanks for your charming New
Tears present. II you could know what pleasure
yielded me you would he repaid for your deli
cate and sympathetic kindness
But must avow that nothing in the pretty
basket Of flowers was quite so interesting 70 me

readings. which. l am told, you may see, too
when-you look in the glass! Cordially yours,
CHARLEs DICKENS
Not long afterward. on being introduced
to Boz" this same girl exclaimed. 'Ah,
Mr.. Dickens, owe you so heavy debt Of
gratitude as to be unable to pay even the
interest on itr'
III give you a receipt In full" was
Dickens quick response. and underneath
a very ferocious engraving Of himself he
wrote:

for great many men to handle and
drive horses who have no special liking
for 1t, they can do much to smooth the
way BY making careful study of their
animals, and getting the right idea of
howto go to work with them. The
greatest trouble is with men who imag-
inc that they are great horssmen,
and work on the principle that It is q
mere question of mind against matter;
If II was not for this class of men q So
ciety for the prevention Of cruelty to
animals would scarcely be needed.
If those who have young horses to
train would be careful to putth in the
hands OF men who do not make exces-
siye use of the. whip, much abuse of
them through their lifetime would be
avoided. A horse is naturally very
excitable animal, and the more quiet he
is kept, the better he can be controlled,
and bis attention and desire to please
be retained.
The whip is sometimes needed for COR
rection, but one stroke will do more good
than dozen. A bully may delight in
making his horse dance and prance and

worthy horseman will be best pleased
with q steady, quiet gait that will show
the natural spirit and intelligence OF
his animal. In SO doing he.will win the
appreciation of all lovers of horses and
be worthy the patronage of all horse
owners.-C. L. Beach.

an average of 241 per cent. Of fat in the
first half and 4.26 in the last. In other
words, the percentage of fat inlthe milb
last drawn was nearly so l43.6) per cent
greater than in the first half. The but
ter value OF the second half of the milk
ing therefore appears to be 43.6 per
cent. greater than the value Of the Ars'
half of the sam milking.
BY microscopical examinations We
learn that the character Of the fat glob-
ules, as we'll as the proportion of fat,
affects the value of the milk for butter.
making. In order to obtain o more COM
plete idea of the results Of dividing,
samples of the mornings milk of Jer-
sey and a Holstein COW, both full
blooded, were divided, and the fat
globules of each part examined micro
scopically. The globules of the second
half of the milking were in general
larger and more homogeneous than
those of the last half. Among the con-
illusions are the following:
l. Since the amount of fat can differ
as much as 3.55 per cent. between the
first and last drawn parts of the milk
dsringa single day, there seems to be
very great economy in taking the first
part of the milk for family use.
y When feeding calves it is quite
sufficient to give them milk from the
first part drawn, and TO supply the
further fat necessary for keeping up the
nutritiye ratio by using the cheaper fat
in the meal of the oil containing seeds
of grains,
3. If we can obtain milk with q more
homogeneous size of fat globules, the
latter will all rise in the same time; the
ripening of the cream before churning
will be more even, and the time re-
quired for this ripening more easily
controlled.
This experiment indicates rather than
proves the results; but it is certainly safe
to advise the farmer always to divide
the milk at milking, especially since
the only additional trouble required is
the use of two sets of mix pals. And
the results seem to render the dairyman

ed that Federal troops had come to
Macon City, and the Confederates were
called out to discuss what was best to
do. After taking on board about .
quart Of corn juice each, fight was in
them. About twenty five miles away
from the Federals, with no intention Of
allowing closer acquaintance, the
Confederates placed their hats in Q
line in the road, and then formed a line,
with clubs for weapons. A charge was
ordered, calling the hats Federals. In
the charge one brave warrior got his
feet tangled and fell. Comrades charg
ed on over him, hats were pounded In
the dust, and complete victory de-
clared. The captain cheered his men
for their bravery, and then all that
could went home, leaving their COM

The command had orders to march
from Bolivar on the morning Of Oct. 4,
at o'clock, to re-enforce our army at
Corinth. We made a forced march Of
about thirty miles on that day, and.
camped for the night about five miles
from Hatchie River. On Sunday
morning, the 9th, we were ready
for the march by daylight,
the First Brigade leading the way.
Our advance guard met the
enemy's advance about 6 o'clock q. m.
and drove them slowly back until they

River. Our brigade (the Second) was

about five miles, and as the weather.
was very warm for that time Of the
year, the road was strewn with blan-
kets, knapsacks, overcoats, canteens,
etc., for the last two miles.
Our brigade went into action about
9 o'clock, and for about an hour and
half there was quite an interesting
time in that neck O. woods. Although
our division of $500 men were pitted
against four times our number, we
had the satisfaction to see them
skedaddle in a hurry. Old "Pap"
Price did not stand upon the order of
going, but urged his driver Che rode in

"Yanks" as fast as possible. We cap

our return to Bolivar our regiment was
detailed to escort the prisoners to a
point below Lagrange, Tenn, and turn
them over to the Confederate authori-
ties, they having been paroled. Cap

ordered to stack arms, while our
Colonel, A. K. johnson, and the

the necessary arrangements concern

cavalrymen were all dismounted, and
number fours were holding four horses
each, the rest of the boys being scat
tered around among our boys, having q
good time.
Allwere enjoying themselves hugely,
when Colonel johnson sent orders to-
the drum major of the regiment to beat
the assembly. At the first roll Of the
drum the cavalry horses got on their
mettle, and as it was impossible for
one man to manage four frightened
horses, that squad of cavalry was put
to rout in a very short time. Some of
them, when we saw them last, were two
miles from the starting point.
Colonel johnson and Captain Adams
stood on the porch watching the fun.
Captain Adams remarked to the
Colonel: That id Yankee drum.
mer was harder on his company than
whole regiment of Yankee infantry
Right there the Captain made mis-
take, for in less than month the gal
liant Captain and his company were
taken in by Colonel Johnson with a
much less force than regiment and
with small loss on either side.
