How to Make Clear Coffee and Tea.

To make clear coffee, one must have
a good pot. with a made filterer Of a
small piece of muslin, and fresh coffee
Many people consider it too much
trouble to filter their coffee; but [
think, after using the filterer once, they
will never be without it again.
First, have thin ring, three -fourths
of an inch deep. to fit the top of the
coffee-pot. The ring must have perfor-
atoms, one-half of an inch apart, by
means of which the muslin filterer is
attached. This flterer is bag, made
of medium weight muslin, sloping to q
point. It should be at least four inches
deep. After sewing it firmly to the
ring, put your fresh. ground coffee into
the bag and pour boiling water over it.
using the same amount of both water
and coffee as when not using the bag
Do not use water that has been stand
ing around, or that has boiled before,
as it is stale, and to make good tea or
coffee, fresh water should be boiled on
quick fire.
From three to four minutes is the
time coffee should boil. not simmer.
After removing from the fire, let it
stand few moments to settle.
If the above directions are closely
followed the result will be delicious
brown Leverage. The same bag should
not be used too long. as it takes but a
few minutes to make one.
In making tea, many people make
the mistake of letting it stand too long.
Black tea should be boiled, and green
tea drawn. AS soon as the black tea
bubbles up, it is done. Green tea
should be made with very hot water,
and allowed to simmer on the back of
the stove. When the water is deeply
colored, it is done. Do not use cold
water, as the delicate flavor is lost
while waiting to boil. If green and
black tea are used mixed, it may be
either boiled or drawn; but it is more
often boiled.
A muslin flterer may also be used in
making tea, as it keeps the leaves from
forcing their way through the straine,
into the cup.

IN GoroSu
The other two points determined upon
for commemoration, Fort Metgs and the
Put-in-Bay burial ground, belong to the
period of the war of 1912. when the
Maumee Valley became again the scene
of military operations The hero of this
campaign was Gen. William Henry Har-
rison, who in February, 1913, erected
and established Fort Meigs, ten miles
from Fort Industry While the work
was in progress two unsuccessful attacks
were made by Tecumseh. Gen. Harri-
son and recumseh had first met in arms
at the battle of Fallen TimberS, and
they met again here, each commanding.
Tecumseh is described as zone of the
most splendid specimens OF his tribe,
celebrated for their physical proportions
and fine forms-tall, athletic and manly
-dignifed, graceful, the beau ideal of
an Indian chief" The victory was with
Gen. Harrison, and TecumSeh was killed
during the war. The outlines and works
of Fort Meigs are nearly all preserved,
and no pillow had been permitted to run
over the graves of the dead. 1t is en-
braced in the farm of Michael and
Timothy Hayes, who for the twenty
years of their ownership have not per-
mitted any dissertation of the graves, of
which there are several hundred, almost
wholly unmarked. They contain the
names of those who were killed in the
battle, who died during its occupation,
and those who were killed in the attack
on the British batteries at Fort Miami,
across the river.
The area of land necessary to include
the fort and the graves is about fifty-five
acres, valued at 500 an acre. The
works themselves are in such good

placed in position in time for the expo
sition of 1898. The Swedish Linn@an
Monument Association has been the
sole mover in this gift to Chicago of a
beautiful and enduring ornament. Of
this corporation Robert Lindblom is
President and John r. Lindgren
Treasurer, the other officers compris-
ing the best-known Swedes in Chicago.
Cardus Linn@us was born in Sma-
lund, the son of the pastor of the par
ish. The boys attention was turned
toward the natural sciences. In these
he soon began to distinguish himself.
In 1929 he was under the instruction

tuned at the university. He started on
his famous trip through Lapland May
%, 1882, and took q long journey
through Northern Europe. He pub
lished his great work, "The System of
Nature" in Holland in 1875, and lived
to see the twelfth edition of that epoch
marking volume greatly amplified in
the hands of his fellow scholars. "The
First Principles of Botany" was writ
ten about this time. The next year he
went to England and was invited to
lecture in Oxford University. He de-
voted the rest of his life, however, to
study, research and lecturing in the
University of Sweden. In 1853 he
was decorated by the King with the

The association has been engaged for
FIVE years in efforts to secure possession
of the most important historical points,
such as forts and battle grounds in the
Maumee Valley, and to have them
marked by suitable monuments. 1t has
been decided that the following are

How to Kill a Cat.

A number of people are interested
in learning the best way of painlessly
killing animals, and we may usefully
note a communication on the subject
from correspondent of the English
Mechanic. He writes: The most
merciful way of destroying cats is to
chloroform them. Draw a sock knit
ted one preferred, it being elastic,
over pussy s head SO that the toe of the
sock is brought to her nose, OF nearly
so then pour about half teaspoonfui
of chloro orm on the sock close to her
nose. Almost as soon as she has be
come frightened by the unusual smell
of chloroform she quietly goes off is
sleep; little more chlorofofm is add
ed, perhaps. twice, and pussy never
wakes again"

MONUMENT TO LINNHUs.
This Great Botanist to Be Honored by
Statue in Lincoln Park.

This Great Botanist to Be Honored by a
Statue in Lincoln Park.
The monument to Linn@us, the emf
nent Swedish man of science, was un-
yelled on the 1S4th anniversary of his
birth, May % last. Placed in Lincoln
Park at the foot of Fullerton avenue,
it has been erected by his fellow
countrymen now living in Chicago by
voluntary subscription. Standing up
on heavy granite base, the bronze
statue of the great botanist looks out
upon the world in calm repose and
dignity. The work of art is copied by
G. F. Dyferman, of Stockholm, from
the memorial in tha5ecity by the lead
ing sculptor of his time, Kiellberg.
The bronze was cast by Otto Meyer, a
resident of the Swedish capital. When
entirely finished the design contem-
plates the addition at the base of the
pedestal of four categorical figures,
likewise in bronze, IMPLYING four OF
the sciences in which Linnaus was
distinguished, including. Of course,
botany and medicine. These will be

state of preservation as to constitute
their own best monument, and it is pro-
posed only to purchase the Ian j, erect
one large monument in Fort MeigS to
cost $40, 900, and three others at So, 900
each to mark the burial places, making
total of $25,WO Fort Me gS was
named in honor of General Me gs, but
he selected for the village just eas5 the
name OF PerrySburg, in commemoration
of the hero of the naval victory on AXE
Erie.
On the 10th of September, 1913, Com
modore Perry, commanding the Ameri-
can fleet on Lake Erie, fought the Brit
ish near the island OF West Sister and
captured the entire fleet. with all Off
GERS and men, but after bloody fight
and with much loss OF men. He an
nounced to Gen. Harrison, commanding
the Army of the Northwest, "We have
met the enemy and they are ours" He
buried his dead on the Island of Putin
Bay, now one of the most important
ports on Lake Erie. This battle-ground
is about sixty feet from the shore of the
lake. and in it's center stands a willow
tree, at the foot of which a rough block
of stone is said to mark the exact
location of the graves. Some years
ago, by voluntary contribution, a
circular enclosure of wooden posts
connected by chain was put up,
but the posts have rotted and the en-
