A Novel Idea for the Tea Table.

A Novel idea for the Tea Table.
Soon the tea table will again be in
operation. 1t is not that we love tea,
but we love the sociability OF 1t, and
Il Is a pretty custom to drop in at 5
20 enjoy a dish of tea and a platter
of gossip. .
Fascinating furnishings there are for
the tea ~table-covers and doilies which
NAV be as handsome as purse tor
fingers can make them. And, by the
way. the ~cleverest little tea stralner
was shown to me the other day.
Let me tell you about 1t, for I at
once added it to my list of ~''sugges-
lions for Christmas gifts" and perhaps
YOU will like to do the same. 1t is
none too soon to plan for Christmas,
and we do not discover such really
pretty and useful little articles every
day.
Now, you know how difficult 1t is 70
handle the old-fashioned tea s~trainer,
how it invariably drips tea all over a
dainty tea cloth at the filing of each
cup.
The new strainer drips-but it drips
decorously and harmlessly. The little
affair is really skilfully built. There
is a tiny drip pan" of silver with an
ebony handle attached; then, swinging
over this drip pan" is the stralner OF
perforated silver@The little contrivance
is so well balanced that the merest
twist OF the fingers turns the pan 20
one side, allowing the strainer 10
swing over the cup
When the tea is poured a reverse
twist brings the ''pan" again beneath
the strainer. and 1t NAV be set upon
q cloth Of the finest texture with the
assurance that the little drip par"
stands between fair linen and ruin.

Republican Ticket.
rs, e7e Majority Will Do.

Vermont has again spoken. Is
it said there is no significance in
her tones now? We think that he
who harbors the thought that
there is none. mistakes the signs
of the times. 1t will be said that
she has spoken as usual-simply
that and nothing more. She has
remained true TO the general tick
ct, that which tests her truth and
loyalty to principles, that which
indicates her sentiments in respeei
to national questions, and national
candidates, and that which shows
that she regards the whole as oil
greater Importance than any OF its
parts. So we may well congratu'
late the Republicans. The lnde
pendent opposition was noisy, but
against the firm Republicanism o
Vermont it was not alarming.

Toistoi.

1t has been said, perhaps by more
than one author, that there IL tendency
toward deterioration of our race, general.
ly; that our times are not distinguished,
as they should be, by the examples of
remarkable men that there are no great
philosophers, theologians, statesmen,
poets, artists, authors or warriors, and
that majestic action, or rule OF life con-
sistently realized would be a solitary
instance of sublime attainment. How
ever, our age is distinguished by at
least one great man, who. seemingly, was
destined to eminence. Tolstoi, philoso-
pher and moralist, though very old in
years, speaks il mastery way from a
mind 30 clear and so devoted to high
purpose that many regard him as pro-
phet, rather than as merely distinguish
ed author and patriot; and entertain a
reverence for him which will increase
and endure long after his noble spirit
has reached its final destination.
In many respects the career of Russia

Gantama, Buddla. Both were born to
high position in the social state and
both scorned preferment through the
dictation Of Conscience, and both we're
moved to make the strongest protest
agaisnst the social conditions of their
country. But in the case of Tolstoie
there is seen greater degree of hsroism,
for earlier in his career he was liable to
