THE AFTERNOON TEA.


Z
This English Function Has Iattesly Ma
teriaiiy Changed. n
1t is the general complaint that both
nj afternoon teas and at homes the tea
is made disagreeably and peruiciousiy
strong Formerly such complaint was
never heard; a strong cup Of tea was
the fashion; all liked It and thought
themselves i'll treated if anything else
were offered them; now it is quite the
other way, and hostess who studies
the fashion Of the day and the tastes OF
her guests makes rule Of asking
whether weak or strong tea is preferred
before pouring it out, and then adding
hot wafer to taste. while others train
their servants. at some trouble to them
selves. to bring Ia the tea tho moment
1t Is made.
Now is the time for some spirited
patentee to produce an invention that
could be applied to our dear old silver
teapots or to modern china ones to hold
the tea leaves and prevent their sinking
to the bottom Of the teapot. and thus
brewing the harmful solution that is ac-
credited with bringing about such i'll
effects. An approach to something Of
this sort has been attempted in the lit
tie Japanese teapots with china strain
ers, but these are too small for largo
teapots, and something further, which
could be adjusted to any sized teapot,
is required.
HALF past 4. or even o'clock. Is now
the regulation tea hour, and when peo-
pie adhere 10 the old fashioned custom
OF giving 3 o'clock tea their friends 70
gard it in the light Of a grievance, es-
pecially in the country. when, after
long drive or bicycle ride, the half
honr's delay in the accustomed tea hour
makes all tho difference TO exhausted
nature. for tea is allowed, oven by its
opponents, to have a stimulating and
restorative effect ON the constitution"
in spite Of the Subsequent depression"
and the "deleterious" results
Afternoon tea is now very justly
styled meal, rs so many substantial
things are given in the way Of sand
witches of many varieties. Of potted
game and chicken. potted fish; also Of
tomatoes, cucumber and cress, etc, IN
addition TO hot scenes and tea cakcs. or
mullins and buttered buns, rich cake.
iced and ornamented cakes, etc Not
only at large at homo teas arc these
given. but at the usual afternoon draw
ing room. and, as rule. the nppetites
of the guests are found equal to the o.
casitn.
The lateness of the dinner hour is
doubtless the excuse and the reason for
the readiness shown to eat aud enjoy
these dainties thus early in the after
noon. BE this as II may, substantial
afternoon tea has become tho fashion.
and few wish il otherwise; occasionally
one comes across man or woman
who AYERS that he or she never touches
tea, which in this case bears out tho
medical structures upon this beverage;
10 some it is almost poison, and 10
others 1t is an unnecessary luxury. not

The Young and the Old.
Alas, that old people SO much misun-
derstand young folks There was great
Sunday school anniversary, and the
were thousands of children present-in-
deed all the Sunday schools of the town
were in the building, and it was very
uproarious and full of disturbance, and
the presiding officer ON the occasion
came forward and in very loud tone
shouted, "Silence!' and the more noise
the presiding office made, the more
noise the children made. Some one else
rose on the platform and came forward
and with more stentorian voice shouted,
"Silence" and the uproar rose to great
er height, and it did seem as il there
would be almost riot and tho police
have to be called in, when old DR.. Bea-
man, his hair white as the driven snow,
said, "Let me try my hand. So he
came forward with a slow step to the
front of tho platform, and when the
children saw the venerable man and the
white hair, they thought they would
hush up that instant and hear what the
old man had to say. He said: Boys, /
want to make bargain with you. If
you will be still now, while / speak,
when You get to be as old as am will
be as still as mouse. - There was not
another whisper that afternoon. He was
as much boy as any Of them. Oh, in
these approaching holidays let us turn
back our natures to what they We're
years ago and be boys again and girls
again and make all our homes happy.
Gcd will hold you responsible for the
influence you now exert, and it will be
very bright and very pleasant If some
winter night, when we are sleeping un
der the blankets of snow, our children
shall ride along in the merry party and
hushing a moment into solemnity, look
off and say, There sleep the best father
and mother that ever made happy new

A Method of Incubation Which Is as OLD
as the Chrlstian Era.
Among the fellahs Of modern Egypt q
process Of REGULATION is in use which
has been handed down from antiquity,
perhaps from the time of Diodorus, who,
40 years before the Christian era, said
that the Egyptians brought eggs to ma
turity with their own hands and that
the chickens Matched thus were not in
ferior to those Matched in the usual way.
The process is described in Nature.
Ovens are built, consisting Of a cham
Der about IL feet square and 4 feet high,
with a fat roof. Above this another
chamber, 9 feet high, it built, with a
vaulted roof, having n small opening in
the middle to admit light. Below a
larger opening communicates with the
room underneath. In cold weather both
rooms are kept closed and a lamp is left
burning in each, entrance then being
through the lower chamber.
When the oven is ready, the proprie-
tor goes to the ncighbOring villages and
collects eggs. They are placed on mats,
