A Delicious Summer Drisk. Tea is one of the most delicious of summer drinks, but few persons know how to prepare it so that it is refreshing, palatable, and, in a certain sense, aesthetic. Common custom in this country makes its preparation one of the servant's duties. It therefore comes to the table almost always black with too much strength and steeping, if, perchsnce, it has not boiled. It then has saber-by flavor, and no more resembles genuine tea than the electric light is comparable to moonlight. Tea should always be made on the table, and three minut-e 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 china pot and cups and saucers, and lastly a pair of fair hands that serve a grace- ful and gracious lady, andyou have the in- gredients for a cup of tea in which the pos ribilitles of aesthetic pleasure are only limit- ed by the sensibility of the recipient. Take a tiny lump of sugar, if ysuplease, and even a thin slice of lemon, but do not spoil the exquisite 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 stand in the ice chest till rrquired, but by this means ti o delicate aroma of the tea passes away, and there is a consequent flatness percepti- ble to every one who knows how to make and appreciatethe rightly made cup of tea. Notes for Housekeepers. Thc best way to brightona carpefiis 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 contact with cooked eggs, may be easily brightench by rubbing with common salt. A lump of gum-camphor in the closet where I silver or plated ware is kept will do muchl toward preventing tarnish. cccr alum; I'lCKLES. A correspondent gives some timely hints in regard to making cucumber pickles. He says that cucumbers for immediate use may be pickled by making a brineâ€"a saturated solution of saltâ€"coveriugthe cucumbers wit h It, and adding water, if necessary. This strong brine will 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 with scalded vinegar, cloves, cinnamon, and a lump of alum as lig 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 finger, and, if desired, two or three green peppers. These pickles will be ready for use in three days, and will keep for years. then cucumbers are packed for market only strong brine is necessary; for, when needed for use, they are taken out of the brine, froshened, and then put into vi n egar, with spices etc. Knitte Cradle or Carriage Afghan- Thls soft white blanket is knitted with leviathan wool, which is composed of many strands, and is very thick and soft.

Prof. Bell is actively at work upon pro blenu of sound and electricity in a way that promises an invention of far greater import ance, scientifically and pracxically, and the telephone itself. His laboratory is an old- fashioned two story house on Connecticut avenue, in he neighborhood of the British Legation, Washington. He also has a private and secret laboratory over in Georgetown, where at present he has a most skilful work- man engaged upon the forthcoming instiu. meut. What Is it, is known only to the pro- fessor and the man who is working at the idea. The inventor has said to his friend, that if he succeeds, the new idea will yield him greater returns than the telephone has. It is suspected, however, by those who have given some attention to the course of Prof. B In thoughts upon the subject that It Is the photophone, or the use of e1. ctriclty to reproduce over the wires the image of the person speaking brfore thsinstrument. Pref. Bell is a man of prodigious mental energy, and he is constantly developing new ideas and new applications of electrical force for the production of csefulmschines. Hethrows them off as easily and carelessly as you can fancy. For instance, he made not long ago an instrument called the audiomc or, perhaps not a dozen of whlch have been made. It consists of magnetic cylinders graduated to each other. These cylinders will indicate by measurement how much sound it is possible for a deaf person to hear, and if they hear any at all. r’rof. Bell has also devised an instrument, which might be called the submarine telephone, by which can be ascertained, by the echo from a stone dropped upon the bottom of the bay or river in which the craft may be floating just what the depth is at that point. He has also uti- lized the telephone to record the echo at sea which may show the d staucsof ice bsrgs and other obstructions. Even a buoy can be distinguished by its use l’roi. Bell is grad- ually growing out of all business pursuits, and devoting himself to the improvement of the deaf. He is constantly giving more and more time to his little school, where he has perhaps ascorc of puplls, most all of them wholly deaf, to whom he is teaching the art of sight language. He is training there lit- tle children so that' they can distinguish from the lips and face of the person speak- ing what the say, and teaching them to im- itate the proper arrangement of the lips, teeth and tongue, so that they may articu- late sounds.

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 tents, and we have neither tattlos nor pun- kahs." Even the most acolimatised Anglo- Indian feels suffocated when the thermome- ter rises 100 degrees Inside his bungalow, and what, then, must be the misery of hu- man lifc when the temperature is ‘25 per cent. higher! “'o are not at all astonished to hear that the European battalion has dwindled from 900 to 500 men, or that the survivors “ are going out like flies."

The accident at St. Thomas by which Mrs. Fred Sanders, her son, a bright little fellow of 5 years, and Mr. J. C. Dempsey, bur brother, an employee of the llamlltcu, Ont., post office, was one of the most appalling ever The accident, as is known, occurred on the L. k l’. S. railway crossng The scene after the collision be- tween the buggy and the locomotive was a , , terrible one. The horse was thrown sever.- teen yards and lay on the east side of the The buggy was thrown about twice the distance and was a complete wn ck. The body of Mrs. San ders lay 54 yards north of the crossing on the east side of the truck, her feet towards the ditch. Her head was completely severed from her body and 1) ing alongside of it with the mangled and bleeding ntck pointing up- ward. lier body was horribly mutilated and presented a sickening spectacle. lie chest and sides were crushed in, one arm torn from the body and the other broken and mangled. Iicr legs were likewise both broken in several places, and she preseu'ed the ap- pearance of being rolled and tumbled along the track, which for a distance of ten feet was strewn with the blood and brslus of the victim. A gentleman picked up her collar broken in two at the back and covered with ’ blood. Mr. N.._“'cbb, whose story of the : accident has been published, found her locket with the monogram “F. C. S." inscribed up_ on it, in the sand between the ties. The body of Dempsey lay on the same side of the track as that of Mrs. Sanders, about one hundred yards from the crosring, or twice as far as that at Mrs. Sanders. lie also lay with his head towards the track and his foot point- Iug eastward. His skull was crushedi at the back and front, and there was a gash - across his body, while blood gushed from his mouth and eyes. The child, it appears. was thrown from the buggy upon the cowcatcher. and it was not until the train was stopped that the body was found on the beam support- ing the cowcatcher. There the little fellow lay upon his back, in his neat and brl idrd suit of blue, with on- hand upon his forehead as if to protect himself from some approach- ing danger. His countenance was calm and placid, and he looked as if in a quiet sleep, but from his nook and head the crimson blood ilowcd down the beam upon the track. Many a rough and hardened heart among the scores of spectators who hurriedly crowd- ed to the scene was melted ss hlseyos caught the visage of the child. Mr. Sanders, the sillictcd husband and father, is prostrated by the shock. No Inquest was held, as no blame attaches to the railway employees. His Annual Pass- The editor of the ltsckville Sryllu, is a smart nun. The other day while on board a railway train he sat down beslde s passen- ger and, handing hIm a paper, said: “ilere's a copy of my last issue." The passenger took the paper and thanked the editor. “Do you travel much over this road 2" the editor asked. “Not a great deal." “You bet I do. They give me an annual pass, you know. Nothing like havILg an annual. I am can- stitutionally opposed to paying a railroad any thing; ain't you '3 ' "Well, I am not (and of paying." "Hay," sald the editor, “I don't mind telling you a little something. I am rather hard up to-day, and I'll sell you my pass for ten dollars." "Then what will you do 3” “0h, I’ll get another one. I'll tell 'nn 1 lost It, don't you see? ()h, I know how to work '1 m. 'l‘akesa cauntry newspa- per msn for that, oh 3" continued the editor, laughing heartily. "I never saw a railroad that i couldn't work. How far «lo you go 1‘ "All the way through." "That so? Now, sh, If you had a pass like this you would be fixed. What business are you In t" “I am the general superintendent of thls road. Let me take that pass." At present, the editor of the liu-kvllle Scythe has no annual pass. â€"-â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"eâ€".e.â€"-â€"-â€"â€" A Legacy of the Slave Trade. Yellow fever Is the direct result of the slave traffic, the dread scourge having been unknown In America till brought here by that trade. The African disease, fnteusliied by the filthy habits of human cargoes, came first to the port of Vera Cuts, with a slave ship in "590, and In lIks manner was trans- ferred to all the West indies. In Vera Cruz, whenever an old wall ls taken down or s street dug Into, the fever Is sure to break out with rsdoobled force In that Io:sllty, thus showing that the germs are always present, though sometimes dormant until disturbed. Among the numerous yellow fever stories with which Vera Crunns are wont to «beer visiting strangers they tell that once a vessel drifted Into port. apparently at random, and without hoisting say of the usual signals.
