 â- â-  ' â€"Jl-U m HOUSEHOLD. A Delicious Summer Drirk. Te» ia one of the mort delicioM of •tunmer drinkB, bat few peraona know how to prepare it BO that it if refrething, palatable, and, in a certain Mnse, asthetlo. .Common custom In thia country maket it« prfep»ration one of the »ervant'f duties. It therefore comes to the table almost always black with too much strength and steeping, if, perchance, it has not boiled. It then ha an herby flayor, and no more r-sembles genuine tea than the electric light is comparable to moonlight. Tea should always be made on the table, and three minutes will suffice for its com- pounding. Secure a small copper kettle of boiling water, with an alcohol lamp be- neath, a pretty tea caddy of choice teaâ€" for good tea is really economicalâ€" a delicate cbina pot and cups and saucers, and lastly a pair of fair hands that serve a grace- ful and gracious lady, and you have the in- gredients for a cup of tea in which the pos- sibilities of aesthetic pleasure are only limit- ed by the sensibility of the recipient. Take a tiny lamp of sugar, if you please, and even a thin slice of lemon, but do not spoil the exqaisite flavor and winelike color by even a drop of milk or cream. If iced tea is desir- ed pour the freshly made t' a into a glass in which there are lumps of ice and sugar. It is often prepared and put away to atand in the ice chest till required, but by this means the delicate aroma of the tea passes away, and there is a consequent flatness percepti- ble to every one who knows how to make and appreciate the rightly made cup of tea. ITotes for Housekeepers- The best way to brighten a carpet is to put half a tumbler of spirits of turpentine in at basin of water and dip your broom in it and sweep over the carpet once or twice, and it will restore the color and brighten it up un- til you would think it new. Lemon juice will whiten frosting, cran- berry or strawberry juice will color it pink, and the grated rind of an orange strained through a cloth will color it yellow. Silver spoons that have become discolored, in contikct with cooked eggs, may be easily brighteueil by rubbing with common salt.^ A lump of gum-camphor in the closet where silver tr plated ware ia kept will do much towaru preventing tirnish. CUCv.MliKR TICKLES, A cjrrespondent gives some timely hints in regard to making ououmber pickles. He says that uuoutiibera for immediate use may be pi.. kled by making a brine â€" a saturated solution of fait â€"covering the cucumbers with It, and driiug water, if necessary. This strong brine *ill act sufficiently in one night if poured on hot; if cold, give it twenty-four hours. Drain off the brine and pack in a jar wirh scalded vinegar, cloves, cinnamon, and a lump of alum as tig as a marble for each two gallons of cucumbers. Pour the spiced vinegar hot on the cucumbers, and add a piece of horseradish root as large as a man's tiager, and, if desired, two or three green peppers. These pickles will be ready for use in three days, and will keep for years. When cucumbers are packed for market culy strong brine is necessary; for, when ni eded for use, they are taken out of the brine, freshened, and then put into vin egar, with spices etc. Knitted Oradle or Carriage Afghan- This soft white blanket is knitted with levith in wool, which is camposed of many strands, and is very thick and soft.

A yoQcg Iiishman, named JamM Nolans, performed a noble deed of daring in a sudden mining catastrophe, which happened at the coal-pit! situated near the villages of Niddry and New Craighall, in the neigbonrhood of Newmills, talkeith. About two o'clock one afternoon the rumor was spread that the pita were filling with water. It was con- firmed by a gush and fall of water from a height of 130 fathoms, with a din which struck despair into the hearts of the weary miners. They were just about to ascend the shaft, and the man at the pit-head had discovered that something had gone wrong. There were sixty-three men and boys at work, of whom thirty-eight escaped to the neighbouring pit, while twenty-five who were en^the opposite side of the torrent re- mained. These ran through, a portion of the workings as yet free from flood, but found their escape cut off, turn where they would, and exhaustion took the place of despair. At last they awaited their fate in a level communicating with another pit, measuring only five feet broad by five feet high. The shaft was nearly filled with water, and a volume of water was rushirg down upon them but here they waited two mortal hours, until, seeing no chance of the flood d-minishing so as to give hope of their escape, seven of them dashed under the water, and through the hole whence it came, leaving their companions in the belief that they were lost. They were, however, merci- fully saved, reaching the shaft where anxious friends were awaiting them, after battling in the dark with tbe seething waters. Bat what of the eighteen that remained One by one, twelve of them ventured their lives as their comrades had done â€" braved the waters and the dark hole, and were similar- ly rescued. But four men andtivo boys were still left behind. Three more hours pjssed, while friends above were vainly signalling amd callii g to them to follow their comrades, example. They were the more hopeless because they believed their mates had perished, and that such signals as. reach- ed them from the roof were warnings to re- main where they were. The lamps were kept burning with difficulty. Three more hours passed, and the rescuing party saw that something must be donel to draw them from their living grave. Some one must force a passage through the water, but who? " I will go if some one will push me through, for the current is so strong,' vol- unteered our young Iri h hero, ' ames No- lans and a mate named Smellie put his feet against his back, and he forced himself through the water. He reached his im- prisoned comrades, spoke to theai cheerfully, bade them follow on, and placing the boy Kerr, aged thirteen, on his back, dashed back again. Saved All but one Where was the lad Walker Nolans did not pauae to consider, but ventured again through the waters. He found the boy in the dark, alone, abandoned to death. " Eh and may God bless you!" wev* the words breathed'in- to bis ear as he took him also on his back, and bore him safely through the torrent. It was eleven o'clock at night when this daring deed was accomplished, and cheers of welcome greeted our collier hero. Keeping the Light in Motion. The keeper of the light at Pointe de Monte relates " Just imagine that towards the close of the fall, at the first snow, my family was attacked by typhoid fever. The first stroke of the disease was to pat seven of us in bed, and very soon all the others followed. I was the only one able to work. My near- est neighbor (at Egg Island) was twenty miles off, and as bad news travels withe ut much wind, this lighthouse was avoided even by Indians as an infested place. One man, how- ever, was touched by my misfortunes, and volunteered to help me. Things were better then for a while but as we were then at the last days of navigation, fogs and snow com- bined against me, and obliged us to fire the cannon every half -hour, or even every quart- er-hour. The vibration was terrible in the tower, seventy -five feet high, and our patients could not endure it. It was necessary to go up the five stories of the tower, transformed into en infirmary [hospital], before every shot, to notify the poor fellows, and stuff cotton into the ears of the most nervous. Days and nighto thus passed, without bring- ing anything else than pain, anxiety, and sleeplessness Laurent and I were ready to lose our senses, doing the service of the light and the hospital like machines, when the Lord took pity on us, and in His mercy sent us some rest and joy in a general convales- cence. " The light at Egg Island shows a re- volving white light, visible fifteen miles, and giving a flash every minute and a half. "All sailors know how important it is that a flash light should revolve with mathematical ac- curacy otherwise one light might Im taken .^or another, and a wreck might le the fatal consequence of such an error. One night, toward the close of the autumn of 1872, a pivot brokein the clock-work regulating these revolutions. The season was too far advan- ced to get help from the Ministry of Marine at Quebec the only thing to le done was to replace the machine by human energy, and the keeper and his family devoted themselves to the task. During five weeks of thatau- tumn and five other weeks of the awtiprfng, nu-i. wife, gi'»-."d boy. turned Ajm«*to* by hand. Cold and fatigue rtifftned toe liands. sleep weighed on their •y"f»' ^°* nevertheless they must turn, turn, without haste and without rest, all through thoM long watehes, in which the order was to be- cbne an automaton and keep turning the ma- chine. Not one, from tne child to the mas- tor, either complained or shirked.his duty, and the Ught at Egg Island continued each minute and a half to flash its protecting bght over the tempeetuous Gulf."

Fencing is becoming a craze among girls. Those of as who have seen a girl trying to" get over a barbed- wire fence know that ihere is plenty of room for improvement. Placards denouncing the present style of female apparel as "more in harmony with votaries of the shrine of Babel than the hum- ble penitent seek lag peace with God" have been posted on ail the churches of Norfolk, Va. Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who un- kindly declares that the Christian religion hasn't benefited women to any considtrable extent, is reminded by the literary wrman of the Boston Transcript that it has at least given them a place In which to display their millinery. At a spiritual seanc a woman desired to communicate with her dead husband. •'Is it really such a dreadful place, John " "Not at all Heaven is a delightful place." "Mr. Medium," said the widow, turning to that personage, "you have called up the wrong party." A society paper gave an account of a so- ciety event, and in speaking cf one beautiful lady, of quite large proportions, it said "Mrs. possessed a form that a Jnno might envy." The editor went home and left a subordinate to get out the paper, and the next morning he read in his paper that ••Mrs. possessed a form that Jumbo might envy." The Troops at Suakim. A little time ago we were enabled by a correspondent at Suakim to give the public some idea of what our soldiers, both British and Indian, are suffering at that delectable spot. Another communication shows that the lowest depth was by no means reached at the time when our correspondent first wrote. "We are having severe times of it in this awful heat," he now writes; ••the thermometer registers 125 degrees in the tento, and we have neither tatties nor pun- kahs." Even the most acclimatised Anglo- Indian feels suffocated when the thermome- ter rises 100 degrees inside his bungalow, and what, then, must be the misery of hu- man life when the temperature is 25 per cent, higher We are not at all astonished to hear that the European battelion has dwindled from 900 to 500 men, or that the survivors •• are gofag out like flies." Nor are the native troops apparently much bet- ter. They do not suffer so much as the Eur- opeans from the terrible heat, but home- sickness has set in among them as we pro- phesied it would, and there Is no more oer- tidn cause for nckness than that All that they ask for is the fixing of some date for their embvrkatlon. They were brought to the Bed Sea littoral for a specific purpose, that of fighting Osman Digma, and they con- sider it » flagrant breach of engagement for the Government to keep them literally " stewing In their own juice " for an Indefin- ite perio«l after their proper work has been long finished. To make matters worse, the supply of ice has run so short that it can no longer be issued. SEHt. K0RCiRC"L4Rj^ND STATE RE?UIF![Ht NORtHEv^C?
