Enough For All.


The Piedmontese are to a great ex-
tent the untraveled inhabitants of an I'M
travelled country. Curiosity mingles with
kindness in their eagerness to see stran-
gers within their doors, and any wayfarer
who chooses to make himself agreeable
and can break the monotony Of their
sequestered existence repays them amply
for his entertainment. The author of
Country Life In Piedmont" says:
Unbounded hospitality is character
istic of all thriving agricultural districts.
Those who gather from the plentiful
land the fruits which most Immediately
contribute to mans sustenance are al
ways glad to share with friends and
guests the bounties which might other
wise be wasted.
Every one has heard of the peasant
girl who pressed a king to partake of
some apples, assuring LIN that what he
did not take would be given to the
pigs"
once threw a word across the hedge
to a group of rustics who were gathering
their walnuts, to congratulate them on
the bountiful harvest.
Yes" they cried out joyously, hold
ing up their baskets and aprons. Have
some! Have some. There's enough for
cats and dogs this year."-Youth's Com
panion.

When Admiral de Horsey, who some
years ago had command of the British
feet in the Pacific, was the admiral of
the north Atlantic squadron, he was
one evening dining on shore at Port
Royal, Jamaica. On returning to his
flagship alone after dinner, his way to
the boat led across the barrack square.
A black sentry of one of the West India
regiments halted him at the gate with,
Who goes dar!" Great was the ad-
miral's annoyance to find he had neg
lected to get the password before leaving
the ship. That's all right" he said
carelessly. hoping to overcome the mans
scruples by Indifference, you know

piled the man pcmpously. You can't

A GOOD CUP OF TEA.
Seems Simple, but Quite n Knack In Nal
I'm. Il Good.


log IL Good.
The most important element in the
preparation of good cup of tea is boil
ing water-not hot water, but water that
is actually bubbing and steaming. With
boiling water even an inferior brand Of
tea may be made very palatable. But
without it the best brand is spoiled.
See that the water in the teakettle is
jumping hot, as the saying is. Scald
the little teapot-for tea should never be
made in a very large teapot-and put in
the tea leaves before the teapot has got
time to get cold. Set it on the stove for
one minute, until you are sure that it is
heated through, and then pour on the
boiling water.
a good recipe for making tea is to al
low one teaspoonful of tea for every per-
son and lone for the pot" When the
teapot is put upon the table, there should
be drawn over the top Of it to keep in
the heat little arrangement which our
grandmothers knew as coy" This is
made of silk, thickly wadded, and of
such n shape that it fits like a cap over
the top of the teapot. 1t may be made
of bright silk. so that it is ornamental as
well as serviceable.
1t is very pretty idea, where tea is to
be made for a large family, to make it
on the table. For this purpose there
come tiny kettles with alcohol lamps
underneath and little Chinese jars for
holding the tea. The prettiest way of
preparing the tea upon the table is by
using the tiny silver balls known as
''tea balls" which come for this purpose.
These balls are perforated and are sup
piled with little chain. to which there
is a ring attached, which the teamaker
places upon her finger. The tea ball is
filled with tea leaves and is then dropped
in teacup filled with boiling water, in
which il is gently fioated until the tea be-
comes of the requisite strength and col
or. 1t is necessary, of course, to repeat
for each cup of tea.

A YOUNG FIEND.
Blew Up and Killed Three Boys with
Powder.

Blow Up and Killed Three Boys with
Powder.
BEAVER FALLS, Pa, Aug. ia fiendish
act was perpetrated near Homewood which
resulted in the death of three boys. Frank
Graham of Homewood, IL years old, knew
that three boys were hunting groundhogs
about a mile below the village. He got a
can of blasting powder, attached a fuse,
placed it in a little pile of rocks and waited
until the young hunters neared the spot.
Then he lit the fuse and crept Off to safe
distance.
Burgess Reed, Is years old, and jaime as
Reed, aged II, sons of Smith Reed, a well
known farmer, with James Carney, aged
Il, approached the spot entirely uncon-
sciOus OF danger.
The can exploded. all being manned and
burned terribly Carney was knocked in
sensible, and his clothing was burned off.
One of the Reed boys was also disabled.
The other Reed boy was able to crawl
away and gave an alarm. Drs. Nc
Aleer and Coffin of Beaver Falls answered
the call for physicians, and willing hands
in the neighborhood of the crime did every
thing possible for the young sufferers, but
unavailingly, as they died a few hours
later. Graham made his escape and is
still at large.

Up and Down Stairs.

Il wish" says a wise old physician,
"that women generally understood how
important it is to their physical welfare
that they should go up and down steps as
little as practicable and that they should
do it properly when at all. By properly
mean slowly, never faster than walk,
and planting the heel firmly on each
step. The novel heroine tripping lightly
down the stairs looks graceful but it is
a very bad thing for her nevertheless"
