One teaspoonful of tea is al- lowed to each cup of boiling water, which is then allowed to steep on the hearth. or table for fifteen minutes. The glasses are then filled three-quar- ters full of cracked ice, chipped-so fine that it cools the tea immediately, and then boiling tea is poured on. One tea- spoonful of lemon juice and one slice of lemon completes the “ cup which cheers.” In making tea scald the pot, which should be either of silver, gran- iteware or earthenware, not tin. Fort moderate strength allow one teaspoon- ful of tea to half a pint of freshly boiled water. Pour slowly over the tea, and let the pot stand where it will be at the boiling point, yet will not boil, for from three to five min- utes keeping tightly covered. Serve in hot teacups. EGGS 1N RECIPES. ’ i1 Those readers who give attention to t] recipes appearing in different forms It cannot fail to have observed that some- ’t‘ times the writers calculate the quan- P tity of eggs to be used either by num- a 1351' or weight. The general rule is by a number, although we think that it t would be better if confectioners would Iadopt the plan of weighing eggs in- 2 stead of using them by number. Eggs (‘ vary in size to such an extent that I it is often a matter of difficulty to I find medium ones, and in cakeâ€"making 1 there will sometimes be an egg that is only half the size of another. Al- ' though eggs are sold by the long ' hundred, of 120 to the hundred, there is also frequently a discrepancy in the value 01' them, and it is a very diffi- cult matter to get an egg merchant to admit that his eggs are small. An egg merchant is usually a person with very little conscience; he is prepared to swear that black is white, and that as sure as eggs are eggs all those he 58115 are of a fair average size. They never fail to point out that a case con- ’ tains a very large proportion of heavy eggs; but when they come to be in some cases a little larger than amarâ€" ble, the seller will declare they are as fine and large eggs as what he has 1 handled for sometime. To obviate this unpleasantness, and also for the sake _ of fairness, it would not be a bad plan if eggs as well as being calculated by 1 weight for recipes, could also be pur~ 7 chased by the same standard. Atten- :1 tion is being given to this subject at Y present in Canada, and some export- a ers are drawing the attention of buy- ers to go back to the system of sell- - in’gs eggs by weight. When this sys- .s term was in vogue it induced farmers .r to pay more attention to breeding birds ii that would lay the largest eggs. \VARMING UP LEFT OVERS.

Very often article articles put away soon enough in the s 'the eggs are already laid in the before they are packed. and ha the profound darkness in whic] ‘revel There is a general camphor or pepper or away moths, but it is not so. They do not in the least object to odors, and why such stuff is used at all is really a mystery. Buffalo bugs seem really to thrive on camphor, and to find especially congenial quarters in cedax shelves or closets or trunks. Every article should be Carefully brushedâ€"all the pockets turned in- side out, brushed, and then turned smoothly back again, and every spot of every description carefully cleansed â€"for moths always seize upon a spot of any sort as a particularly c‘ioice morsel, Each garment should be told- ed separately, and very smoothly and wrapped in old linen, or cotton sheets, {or parts of them. Newspaper is an excellent thing to‘ fold things in, as for some reason moths particularly object to it. The‘ chests that things are to be packed{ away in should be carefully wiped out perfectly clean with a wet cloth, so that not a particle of dust lingers. It is well to spread a large old sheet over the open trunk, and push it down, leaving the surplus outside, and then to fold that over when the trunk is packed, for eVen one moth miller, if it slips in, may undo all your work and care. Never leave a trunk open a moment, after it has been wiped out, ‘before packing it._ Very valuable furs should be ex- amined and beaten every two or three weeks at the outside. 'It is a, great deal of care to do all this, but people must pay for fine possessions and must so regard the care. Never trust to a cedar closet for keeping valuable woolens or furs. The very best sort of chest to pack clothing away in, is a good, solid chest of good size and heavy, well fitted as ,to joints and cover, that any good car- penter can make, and if given a coat of shellac or varnish outside, it will in time be very handsome. Old paper- lined trunks should never be used, for under the paper the moths are more‘ than likely to have deposited their eggs. Carpets that are nailed down close to the baseboard are often eaten thereâ€" even'when the room is open and most carefully swept. The only way to pre- vent it is to saturate the carpet once a week in spring and summer with a little turpentine on the places where the moths have eaten or are likely to eat. The turpentine will not injure the most delicate colors, and is the , 1‘... ‘-‘A‘IV“ best That Country Still Feels the Influence at Peter the Great.

Why Britons Rule the Waves-Cut .It a Spanish Frigate In the Face of a lo: t l-‘Ire Without the loss of a Dian. ‘ On the night of Sept.2:.1.797, while 1 the British thirty-twoâ€"gun frigate ; “Hermione” was cruising off the west 1 coast of Puerto Rico, a mutiny broke i out on board, It would appear that on 1: the preceding day. while the crew were . reefing the topsails, the captainâ€" Hugh Pigot by name, and described as "one of the most cruel and oppres- sive captains belonging to the British navy”â€"called out that he would flog the last man off the mizzenâ€"topsail- yard. Capt. Pigot was known to be: a man of his word in matters of this 1 sort. and, as the' “cat” would natural-i 1y fall to the lot of the men at thel extremities of the yard two of theseg Poor fellows made an attempt to' spring over their comrades nearer the r mast, but missing their hold fell in the quarter deck and were both killed. When this was reported to the cap- tain he is said to have answered. "Throw the lubbers overboard.” This D l 3 E was the culmination of a long series 1 7 l of oppressive acts on the part of the captain, and the result was that the crew mutinied, and killed their officers, with a few exceptions. «.f CAPT. PIGOT WAS STABBED and while still alive thrown out of the 1 cabin window. Thereafter the muti-i neers took the ship into LaGuayra, and represented to the Spanish governor that they had set the officers adrift in the jolly boat. Soon afterwards the “Hermione” was added to the Spanish navy, and as fitted for sea in this ser- vice she mounted forty-four guns, while her crew, which in the British service had been 22:20, was increased by 100, exclusive of about 70 soldiers and artillerymen. Two years laterâ€"in September,1799 intelligence reached Admiral Sir Hyde Parker, commanderâ€"in-chief at Jamaica, that the “Hermione" was about to sail from Porto Cabello for Havana. and, accordingly, on the twen- tieth of the month. he detached the twenty-eight-gun frigate "Surprise," Capt. Edward Hamilton, to look out for her. The total force of the “Sur- prise” was 197 men and boys. Capt. 'Hamilton, it seems, proposed to the commander-in-chief to attempt the cut- tingâ€"out. of the “Hermione” if a barge and 20 more men could be given him,. but Sir Hyde Parker refused his sanc- tion, considering the enterprise too des- perate. The "Surprise” was ordered to cruise about 60 to 88 leagues off Porto Cabello, and endeavor to intercept the “Hermione.” For some weeks these orders were acted on, but the “Herâ€" mione ’ was not met with, and, as the provisions of the “Surprise" were run- ning short, Capt. Hamilton determin- ed on more energetic measures. On Oct. 21 he was off the harbor of Porto Cabello. and had satisfied himself that . 1899 We beg to inform our customers and the public generally that. we the "Hermione" was still there. Sh. was moored between two batteries READY FOR EA. The batteries were said to me. some 200 guns. ‘ 3’ _ J -â€" -vâ€"v â€"" C The. "Surprise ’ stood off and on un- til the evening of the twenty-fourth. when, after dinner,“Capt. Hamilton an- nounced to his officers his intention of attempting the capture of the “Her- mione.” Later the crew were muster- ed aft. and the captain made ‘a speech, in which he reminded them if their former succeessful exploits. He con- cluded with these words: "I find it useless to wait any longer: we shall soon be obliged to leave the station, t and that frigate will become the prize of some more fortunate ship than the “Surprise." Our only prospeCt oi sucâ€" cess is by cutting her out this night. ___:A L ~‘ure-w- -._.. ~â€". - - cess is by cutting her out this night. This proposal was received with great cheering, and the crews for the {six boats were immediately selected. lEvery man was to be dressed in blue. ;no white was to be shown; the pass- i word was "B.'itain,” and the reply "Ire- |land.” At half-past seven the expedi- ltion started, Capt. Hamilton leading gin the pinnace. It was distinctly laid down that, in the event of reaching the ship undiscovered, only the board- ers were to board, the boat 8 crews re- maining where they were to be in readiness to take the “Hermione" in tow directly the cables were cut. The rendevous was to be the “Hermione s” i quarter-deck. When within a mile of ‘ the "Hermione ” the advancing boats were discovered by two gunboats, each “mounting a long gun and were fired yupon. The pinnace, by the captain's , #orders, threw off all attempt at con- ’ ’ cealment, and with hearty cheers its crew The other boats ought all to have fol- lowed suit, but some of them instead fooled away their time and powder on the gunboats. {By the time the “Her- mione” was reached her crew were on the alert; nevertheless, Capt. Hamil- ton and his party made good their foot- ing in her forecastle, and, pushing ltheir way along the gangway. reach- ed the quarter-deck. The cables were cut and the “Hermione ” taken in tow not a second too soon, for the shore bat- ing on on the frigate, and it was not until an hour after the first attack that all opposition was put down, At two oclock in the morning the "Her- mione ' was safe in British hands once more, and out of range of the land bat- teries. Of the British there were none kill- ed, though Capt. Hamilton, Mr. Max- well, the gunner, and ten others were more or less severely wounded. The Spaniards had 119 killed and 97 wound- ed out of their total of 365. “It is impossible,” says James, ‘to do justice to Capt. Hamilton, the gunner, Mr. Maxwell, and the first boarders from the pinnace; they were unsup- ported for more than ten minutes, and this gallaant handful of men succeed- ed in possessing themselves of the quarter-deck. The history of naval warfare, from the earliest times to this date, affords no parallel to this dashing affair; it was no surprise, no creeping upon the sleepy unawares, The crew of the frigate were at quar- l- ters, standing to their guns, aware of l- the attack, armed, prepared, in readi- n ness, and that frigate was captured by 0 the crews of three boats, the first suc- lt cess being gained by sixteen men.
