A CUP OF TEA
w to
stab
II j-ru parly aad How to
SpflUlt.
It em a simple thing enough, says
th London 'JtUgrapk, yet of th
million who use this refreshing and
agreeable beverage a rery small pro
portion understand how to prepare It.
But if not properly made tea is deprived
of a great deal of its value and some
time rendered absolutely Injurious.
Tbs water to be used should boil, and
It should be poured on the tea Im
mediately it boil; if allowed to over
boll tha peculiar property of boiling
water which ants upon tea evaporate
and ventually dlsni.twtrt. Tea ahould
not be a decoction, but an Infusion, if
allowed to stew It becomes little better
than a decoction of tannic acid. Tea
that Is overdrawn Is hurtful to the
nerves and to the digestion. As to the
precis number ' of minute which
should b devoted to th process ot
drawing, soma people will say five
minute, some seven, soma will per-
bps go ss far as ten, but our ex perl-
not is in favor or six; tin sumces to
bring out the flavor, quality, and
stnugth. Just as much tea a is
wanted should be made no more
Malt fresh tea as often it Is required,
Tb replenishing of the teapot with
freih but water T very objectionable.
As tb thorough beating of th reoep-
taol Is of the lint lmortsnce, the tea
pot should be made thoroughly hot be
fore the tea Is put in it. 'trie earthen
ware teapot Is preferred to all other
by mny connoisseurs, snd It is super
fluous to say that whatever utensil is
used for this purpose should be im

Tea Is an extremely delicate article,
Its susceptibility to the odor of com.
modltles near it ia a source of danger
and deterioration, at it readily take up
tb smell of coffe. cocoa, spice,
eheese, bacon, or other articles of pro
nounced odor. 1 he complaints some
time msde about tea would probably
not arts if always kept In places free
from icoh contagion. Tea should be
stored in a warm dry place: unneces
sary exposure to the ir should be
avoided. Even when securely packed
In th leaden chests In which it arrives
In England the change from the glow
ing heat of eastern skies to the damn
snd humid atmosphere uf this climate
deprive tea of much of lis beautiful
fragrance. J ea or much better quality
than Is generally dispensed at our rail
way station and refreshment-rooms
can be bought at SI shillings per pound.
A pound often would make 12tt cups.
This is considerable less than a farth
ing per cup. 1 ou may well ask why it
la that we should be still charged 4
penee and 6 pence "for a little hot milk
and water slightly flavored with uude

th prlnciple applicable to the propor
tion of a great halt by which the voice
is spread and conveyed evenly and in
tne most perfect manner to an pans.
After the building is completed it is
confessedly and notoriously a matter
of accident and a question to be solved
by experiment whether it is "good for
sound." When It proves to be defect
ive no oue can explain why it is so, or
where the defect lies, or prescribe a
remedy. Echoc will be found nest

ing tho voices will he found in another;
a person seated thirty feet from the
ipoakcr will hear with difficulty while
it voice reaches one seated seventy
feet away distlctlv. Tho hail contain
ing 800,000 cubic feet is easily tilled by
th voice while in this smaller ono, not
containing 200.000 feet, tha speaker Is
at great trouble to make himself heard.
11 acoustics were sn exact science
would there be, could there be any
doubt or error in these matters? By
experiment we are led to boliove that
the domed, the arched, tho groined
roof is bad for sound, aud therefore in
cathedral churches, where It has been
found, chanting was used and a musi
cal service became ossontial; the long,
open, sonorous note. which character
is sacred music were, I autcct, an
architectural consequence. Those who

Many of these facts are of such, a na
ture that not to know all about them
will soon be deemed a sign of Ignor
ance. The pcoplo should know that
the surface of standing water is level,
whether it be in tho form of a pond, a
lake, a canal, a sea, or au ocean, and
that It makes no difference at all how
many people, in consequence of false
teachings, believe it to be curved; that
in no surveyors' operations in tho con
struction oi railroads, tunnuls, or ca
nals Is any '-allowauco" made for the
curvatuse" of tho earth's surface, al
though the books tell us that it is ne
cessary! that the view from a balloon
in th air is that of aflat earth and not
of a globe; that the river Paraguay in
800 miles does not fall a foot that tor
th last 600 miles the Amazon falls but
10 feet 0 Inohos and that the JS ile in
1,000 miles falls but a foot.
Sailors can see the light At Cape Hat

on the globe theory it onght to be more

you cn never see a slijp coming "up,"
for at the farthest distance that you can
by any means see a ship it is on a level

mariner were to take a "globo" with
him with whloh to navigate tho ocean

straight lines diverging from the cen

globe the pointing of a compass north

westerly is sailing round horizontally
with the north star on your right hand,
and sailing easterly is sailing in .the

star on your left and all tho money In
