How 20 Prepare Tea.

In the best restaurants Of the

tea is never made in a teapot, but
each cup is brewed separately The
cup itself is different. 1t is a small
bowl covered with a strainer and a
I'D. a tiny bundle Of long tea leaves
is placed in the strainer and the
boiling water is poured over it. This
first infusion is invariably thrown
away as being unfit to drink. This
procedure has caused the leaves to
swell. and when next the boiling
water is poured on it filters through
slowly and is allowed to steep for a
few moments. When the strainer Is
removed the golden liquid that re-
mains in the bowl ready for drink
inc. without milk OF sugar, is as DIFF

A Strike and an ApoIoay.

On one occasion there was a
strike, on professional grounds, Of
the members Of the Irish bar, owing
to an insult offered By john Scott,
Earl Of Clonmell. who was chief
justice of ireland from 1874 to
l19S, 10 counsel practieing before
him. which was resented by the bar
in its collective capacity. The judges
sat, but no counsel appeared. The
attorneys all vanished, and their
lordships had the court to them
selves. There was no alternative.
The next day Lord Clonmell pub
lishcd very ample apology in the
newspapers and, with excellent ad-
dress, made it appear as If written
on the evening of the offense and
therefore voluntary.-IAw Times.

Oats is one OF the best feeds foI
poultry of all kinds and ages, but
for chicks should be hulled.
Coal oil is a cheap and effective
preventive and exterminator OF
vermin that infest chicken house.
Gull the flock and send to the
table or the boarding houses all
hens that are not good layers and
good mothers.
Gather up the charcoal from that
old brush pile and throw il into
the poultry yard or into the scratch

Oyster shells OF mortar lime are
the best form of lime for poultry.
Grit should be in easy access all
the time.
One hundred pounds of clover
digested produces three lbs. OF

There the robbcr had seated him

TWO GREAT ARTISTS.
The Difference Between the Work OF
Reynolds and Gainsborough.

The contrast between these two
great artists, Reynolds and Gains
borough, is almost the difference
between art and nature. Reynolds
was learned in what other painters
had done and had reduced his own
art TO a system. Gainsborough
found almost everything for HIM
self-never lost the simple, natural
way of looking at things and people
and painted not according to rule,
but at the dictates of what he felt.
Reynolds planned out his effects;
Gainsborough painted on the spur
Of the impression which the subject
aroused. Reynolds art was based
on safe, general principles. Gains
borough's was the fresh and spOn-
taneous expression of his tempera-
ment-depending, that is to say, on
feeling rather than on calculation.
His temperament, or habit Of mind,
was dreamy and poetic, gentle and
retiring, including a small range Of
experience. Reynolds, on the other
hand, was a man of the world and
of business capacity, intimate with
Samuel Johnson, Oliver Goldsmith
and other celebrities of the day; a
man of knowledge and clever con-
versational power, whose pictures
by their variety prove his versatile
ty. Consequently when the Royal
academy was established in 176S he
was elected president by acclama-
ton and was knighted by George
Ill, an honor that has ever since
been bestowed on the holder of this
Office.
These two men were at the head
Of the group of portrait painters
who in the latter part of the eight
zenith century and in the early years
Of the succeeding one added luster
to the new growth Of art in Eng
land.-Charles II. Coffin in Cen
tury.

An exchange publishes this balky
horse story. It's efficiency is not
vouched tor, but it might do to try
it upon occasion and report results:
A crowd blocked the street and the
horse doctor joined it TO see what
was up. All, a balky horse, he
murmured. Then he worked his
way through the crowd, saying in
an authoritative vioce, Let me pass,
friend, l am a veterinary surgeon.
Thus he soon reached the ba.ky
horse. He said to the master of
the animal. Put up your whip.
1t will do no good. am a veter-
marian. I'll cure your horse OF
the balks; watch me. He took
hold of the horses front leg at the
fetlock, bent il at the knee joint
and held it in that position for
three minutes. Then he put the
leg down and chirruped to the an
imal. II started of as though it
had never baked in its life. An
old remedy for the balks, but an
infallible one, said the doctor. 1t
has never failed me. Any balky
horse, if you hold one of his fore
legs up for three minutes will be
over its balkiness by the time the
leg is lowered to the ground again.
