Ideal Teamaking.

Men boast of their costly wines, while
women brag Of bargains in tea. Yet tea is
staple article of diet and wine is lux
ury in tho opinion of the greater number
of folk. Recently a connoisseur has arisen
who declares that it is the cheap teas that
ruin the nerves, although many of them
are pleasant to the taste. The same author
ity gives some useful hints as to that max
ing which somehow seems never to be just
right. No sooner had tea balls become uni
versal than we were told even silver Is
harmful and the clean, sweet bag of cot
ton cloth was correct. Now comes this
later statement that all the water must be
added to the leaves at once. Adding it
after the drawing ruins the tea. Either
the exact quantity must be made or the
tea strained off into a second hot pot and
there weakened.
The water, too, is essential. 1t is not
enough that it should boil; it must have
just boiled and must be drawn fresh. To
be allowed to heat slowly, to stand or to
continue to boil Is to lose the essential
quality necessary to perfect tea. - Elk

The Bulldog n Good Dog.

No member of the canine family has
been more persistently maligned than
the bulldog. Writers who have no in
innate knowledge of the dog and his at
tributes have described him as stupidity
ferocious, and illustrators have pictured
him as q sort of semiwild beast, till the
general public has come to look upon
him as dangerous.
"Give dog bad name" is an old
saw, and perhaps true one, but when
it is applied to the bulldog it is mani
testify unjust. Writers, too, have fallen
into grave error in claiming that the
bulldog is deficient not only in affec-
ton, but in intelligence.
Stonehenge, who is considered one Of
the greatest of canine scientists, claims
that the bulldogs brain is relatively
larger than that of the spaniel, which
dog is generally considered to be the
most intelligent of the canine race,
while the bulldogs affection is never to
be doubted. Outing.

LIVELY TIMES AT A CROSSING.
A Place Where Eternal Vigilance IL the
Price of Safety.

OF the thousands of women who cross
Broadway daily at Fourteenth street,
where the cable cars shoot around the
curve, some look out for the cars and some
keep right along without paying any at
tention. There is stationed on this cross
ing big policeman whose face Is now
familiar to many. There are also constant
ly stationed here two or three men of the
cable road. There are no buster men in
the city than the big policeman and the ca
BILE men stationed on this crossing. All
day long their hands go up in warning to
men, women. children and teams, and
often in actual restraint.
Some of the women seem to resent this
detention, more smile over 1t, some are ex-
cited by it, and often when the car has
passed and they are free to go in safety
women aud children start and scamper
across the rest OF tho way. People stand
on the curhstcne below tho crossing to
watch this scene. 1t is scene Of great
activity and continuous mild excitement,
with occasionally dash Of thing
stronger-one Of the sights of the city.
Sometimes somebody strays. Most Of
the people coming up the west sdo of
broadway TO Fourteenth street cross To
the east there or turn to the left and go
along Fourteenth street 10 the west, but
occasionally somebody keeps straight
ahend for Union square, to reach which
one must cross the car tracks. That Is
what IA couple, young man and a young
woman, did the other day. They were
not looking about them and they did not
see the cable car coming along the little
piece of straight track there just above the
Broadway crossing. But cable man on
the crossing saw them and sprinted for
them; he headed them off in time. Tho
young man was unmoved; tho young wo-
man smiled with pleasurable excitement
over most unlocked for and lively expe-
rience.-New York Sun.

The learned professor at the museum,
Leon Valiant. describes the diet of a ser
pent more than 30 feet long, which has
been on exhibition at the Jardin DIES
Plantes sinoe the month Of August 1888.
Up to the end OF 1895 this reptile has eat
en- 90 times--that Is, ON the average Of five
times year. The largest number OF times
In one year that the snake took food was
In 1885, when he ate seven times.
Nearly always the food consisted OF the
hesh OF goats, old and young. Three times,
however, the repast was composed OF rab-
bits and once q goose. The feeding OF the
serpent, which will eat nothing but what
ID alive, offers an uncommon spectacle, and
many persons request to have notice OF the
times when the creature feeds 30 as TO wit
meas the feeding. Yet the llghtninglike
rapidity with which the reptile seizes It's
prey produces a powerful impression.
Apropos of the volume which can, by
means of distension, enter the stomachs OF
serpents, Professor Valiant relates that a
French viper was once put In the same
Gage with horned viper. AS these indi-
although belonging 20 different
species, were of the same size, it was sup
posed that these reptiles would live ami
oably side by side.
Nevertheless the horned viper, during
the following night, swallowed his COM
panion In captivity, and In order to accom-
modate this prey SO disproportionate to
Itself its body was distended to such a
degree that the scales instead Of touching
each other laterally and even overlapping
panh other little. as In Its normal oondi-
ton, were separated, leaving between the
rows Of them q space equal to
their own breadth. All the same digestion
proceeded regularly, and the viper did not
appear to have suffered In the least. The
,ass of the cobra that swallowed the
brother cobra by mistake at the zoo affords
another example Of this extraordinary Ca
,acity for the accommodation Of food
