Tides in the Earth.

From observations made at two Prus-
sian stations at Teneriffe in 1889, 1890
and 1891, showing slight and continu-
GUS changes of position of the plane of
the horizon, DR.. Won Rebeur Paschnitz
has concluded that the relatively rigid
surface of the earth is subject to move
ment of rising and falling like the ocean
movement that produces the tides The
amplitude Of the observations is very
slight, but the apparatus used made it
clearly perceptible The direction of the
plumb line also points to daily disturb
ance, which is attributed, in conjecture,
to solar radiation. A third kind of
movement may be referred to distant

Well-Made Tea.
Selected.

There are few pick-me-ups equal
in potency and pleasant effects to cup
of well.made tea; few things that will
30 put to fight the tired feeling ="
millions of brain-workers are familiar
with. Per contra, there are few more
injurious compounds put into human
stomachs than the long-steeped decoc-
tions, replete with astringent tannin,
that the average Hibernian chsrwoman
imbibes in boundless quantities. What
is well-made tea? To begin, the tea
itself must be good; and then the max
ing of it in a heated pot with freshly
boiled water, standing just long enough

used in ornamenting doilies and tray
cloths. Wash silk is used great deal
for embroideries, but linen floss, linen
thread and japanese gold thread are
used very effectively. The hemstitched
hem is preferable to any other finish,
though where fancy shapes are used
this is not practicable. A plain hem
finished with silk featherstitching is an
easy finish for edges, but many doilies
show an embroidered edge. Some are
embroidered and cut ont in one corner
only, the rest of the edge hemstitched
or hemmed with featherstitch orna-
mentation. Some fringed edges are
seen, but these are not desirable, as
they are not durable. A triangular

pan three ounces of butter, and when
melted stir in one tablespoonful of
-four; when smooth add four large
onions that have been boiled and
minced; simmer slowly five minutes,
stir in two tablespoonful of cream and
cook five minutes longer. Slice six
hard-boiled eggs and lay in this sauce.
When hot through send to table.
CAKE PUDDING.-Soften half pound
of stale cake in sweet milk, beat one
egg light with two tablesp oonfuls of
sugar and quart of milk. Put layer
of the softened cake in uttered dish,
spread with preserved fruit and con-
tinue with successive layers of cake and
fruit, the top layer being of cake. Then
pour over the mixture of milk, egg
and sugar and bake half an hour.
STRAWBERRY CREAM CAKE.-Make
light sponge cake and bake in jelly
tins. Soak quarter of box of gela-
tine in half a cupful of cold water.
Whip pint of cream and put it in a

cold put thick layer of this cream

Hearts with love and hope beat high.

There are burdens we may bear;
