Tea and Coflee. Coffee and tea are nalural allies, but they are also natural rivals. As against alcoholic drinking in any form they are combined. It iB over the unoccupied territory, after al¬ cohol has been driven away, that tbe conten tion between the two comes. Taking the world through, tbe genera’ verdict seems to be in favor of tea. Two of the largest em¬ pires in the world—China and Russia—are tea-drinkers. In Bokhara and Samarcand, and in most parts of Central Asia, the tea urn is forever steaming. On the other hand, tbe Arab and the Turk, and with them the whole western part of the Mohammedan world, are coffee drinkers. The decision of Europe is riot absolute for either side. It seems to be very much determined by what we may call the accidents of the case. The nations which can get good coffee drink coffee. Those which can get good tea drink tea Those which can get both drink both. England claims to be oue ol these, but tbe preference of England is beyond all doubt lor tea and not for cc flee. The unfair choice is very largely compecsnti d for iu the United States—the chief coflVe-consum ing country in thewoild. Englishmen too, would probably make more use of coffee than they do if they could once be induced to overcome the initial difficulties of having it prepared as it ought to be. Tea can be made easily enough. It may be strong or weak according to fancy. It is lea in eitliei case. The right plan, we are assured, is to put plenty of tea into tbe pot, then to add a little more tea; aud, this done, to leave it to chance whether the liquid comes out strong or weak. But whatever we may tea, there is no good word to be said of weak coffee. Coffee must be very strong if it is to deserve the name of coffee at all. It is a generous drink, and it is for generous natures. The little arts which the frugal housekeeper uses Id making tea are not to he thought of in making coffee. There must be no economy in the amount used; no filling up of the pot; no making the same materials serve twice over. That tea should ever be made like this is bad enouga, but there may be tastes so depraved as to put up with it and see nothing to object to about it The man has yet to be found who can even make pretence of liking weak coffee, dilated into ten times its proper volume and as deficient in fragrance as in strength some Pet Superstitions.

Simpkins, at Newport reently, has recalled a touching incident in connection with her. A beautiful little boy of hers was taken ill with an acute disease, and to* several days caused the greatest anxiety to Mrs. Simpkins and the other members of her family. One day the attending physi can told her that the case was a most sen OU8 one, and that there was little if any ground for hope. From the moment that this sorrowful news was made known to her Mrs. Simpkins would not leave her child, v hut watched . * and j tended * . j _• him all „.. through . the .. . long, sad j hours , that A , followed, n A u Betore , i long a change passed over his face, when she in stinctively knew that .be shadow of death bad fallen upon his features. At about the same time he said to her, in faintest tones, "Mamma, dear, please hold me!” extending his hands toward her. Tbe devoted mother lifted him from his bed to her own lap en ** hu vm, in such a wav that his face was turned toward hers. He looked into her eyes with a most pathetic, pleading expression, and asked, “ Will you sing * to me?” , . ^ the nhvsi -an attempted to dissuade her from comply mg; but after only a moment’s hesitation with her eyes filled with the deepest, tender ! «at Wve, looking into thoee ot her child while he watched her face as if to read tbereon what she endeavored to hide, his J little band tightly grasping one of her fin !

Still she sang on. with only the slightest tremolo in her voice, i nothing to mar the fullness of the harmony, The eyes were slowly closing, hiding their light from her loving heait. while the notes soft and low, still went out, filling the room with a 6weet, rare melody, never ceasing till the little eyelids tell, the tiny hand relax d | its hold, and she knew her precious boy bad pafsed to the world beyond.

Pouring Oil on the Waves Mr. Vincenzo Fo^dTcaro arrived in New Up ,' °° 0 1 1880 he sailed from Mon ^ „ ( jn a , bree -ton boat, he had bui , t him8ft lf : : He hed a crew ^ ^ mgn Makga wr , g reacbed on ^ q( p ebrurary) 1881, and there ^ ceaged for whi , e becauge tbe and 8tore8 0 f tbe par ty had become exbauBted r j; be little boat was enabled to ^ ^ the roug hest gale in safety by olive oil being scattered on tbe. water. Mr. Fondacaro was found by a reporter at the Astor House ;— “I claim,” said he, “to have made no great discovery. 1 have no valuable patent. For two hundred years it has been known how oil would smooth the ruffled surface of the sea and prevent the waves from break¬ ing, and ships in the whakng trade have means. But until I made my voyage it was not known how small a quantity of oil would accomplish this result Generally a ga j )on o{ od woa )d enable my boat to lay . faove t0 > in a ga i e 0 f w i n d for twenty-four hours and be f e " ' S!i ^ Fondacaro t h en described how he made use of the oil. It was enclosed in small, bottle-shaped bags, each bag con mining about half a gallon. In case of a ga ] e 0 f wind, when it became necceseary to lay to, a large hag attached to the bow of the boat was thrown overboard. I his the sailor call a floating anchor or a drag, This kept the boat s head to the wind. 1 *o o(the 8ma11 ba<?s of oil were then thr0WD overboard, one fore and one aft. Each , bag had a small orfice through winch the oil escaped slowly. It circled around the boat and prevented the sea from breaking over her and overthrowing her. “Of course, said Mr. Fondacaro, the oil does not di tninish the size of the waves, but renders them comparatively harmless by preventing them from breaking.” During the voyage many hardships were encountered. The sleeping berths were necc esshrily small and generally wet, but so accustomed did Mr. Fondacaro become to such quarters that when the Canary Islands were reached, and for four days he was entertained by the governor and lodged sumptuously, he found it difficult to sleep in a feather bed. On his arrival in Italy Mr. Fondacaro received a visit from the king and queen of Italy. He was invited to the royal palace and very kindly treated. The King pro posed that a subscription should be take.i up for his crew, “but,” said Mr. Fondacaro, “nothing came of it. Nobody subscribed, and I was not going around with a paper asking them to do so. The Italian govern¬ ment has taken no steps to make a practi cal application of my process. The Euglieh government experimented with oi) by means of life boats. The English in¬ surance companies are likely to make it a condition of granting insurance.’ The Circus Man’s Slogan. - A few evenings since, tbe class inexperi mental study chanced to discuss the recent attack by a mob, iu Dover, Del., upon the people of O’Brien’s circus, and the question was raised whether or not the cry of “Hey ! Rube!" is, as was affirmed in the published accounts of that occurence, the circus men’s rallying «ry for war, Mr. W. C. Coup, the veuteran circus manager, settled it. Just as he came in some one of tbe party tested him by an experimental yell of “Hey I Rube 1 at his back, and hiB instantaneous jump and look of combined alarm and ferocity were reply enough for even the most skeptical, He said: “That is a terriahle cry to any man who has ever seen its consequences, and it gives me a cold feeling down my back, even to hear it iu conversation. It means savage force, desperate combat, and too often death A man who has heard that yell sounded in earuest, as 1 have, will not monkey with it even in a parlor, among ladies and children. I don’t know what its orign is or how it came to be so universally recognized. 1 only know that ever since I have been in the business or known anything about it that has been the circus man’s slogan.

Here is death without decay; here, in this woudrous air, on this pass more than 8,000 feet above the sea lev-el, purtretaetion is j unknown; and bodies found in suows in : wiuter—or after the white shroud ha-melted away from the bosom of nature in the spring —are preserved entirely so long as the monks care to keep them. The grimness of the spectacle is enhanced by tbe fact that nearly everybody found is contorted, twisted, strained and knotted up in fantastic shapes. Now and then one which bears the appearance of tranquil sleep is brought in, but in most cases there are indications that man a ad woman, in their battle with nature, fought bard and desperately, aud refused to be overcome until every part of force was overcome. The brethren gather up the bodies with tender care and place them in the deadhouse. in the usaaily vain hope that some relatives may come to Uwm. , Mr and Mrs. Spoopendyke. “Say, ray dear,” whispered Mr, hpoopen dpke, closing the door carefully and ap¬ proaching his wife with a broad grin on hie visage. “Say, my dear, Specklewottle's down stairs in the parlor. He has come to take dinner with us!" “Great gracious 1” exclaimed Mrs Spoop¬ endyke, dropping her work and hustling up to the glass to arrange her hair. “What did he come to-day for ? Don't he know it's wash day ?” "He came for dinner!” retorted Mr. Spoopendyke, turning pale around the lips. “What d’ye 'spose he came for, to be wash ed ? Wbat’s wash day got to do with .it ?

Spoopendyke, regarding her husband with a startled look of inquiry, as if asking if he thought Specklewottle would mind the meat being raw and the fish a trifle cold.” “That’s what he wants I” howled Mr. Spoopendj'ke. “Bring forth the shad that froze to death in the houseof Spoopeudyke!

Brook lyn E agle. j The Modern Methuselah. I "Auero Largo,” or “Long Hide,” accord¬ ing to the English deri vation of the Spanish word, burned himself to death at the Real del Castillo, California, last winter. For some time the old Indian had been feeble and unable to wa'k. During a period ol the heavy rains that fall in that region, the old man sought refuge in a cabin near by. One day he crawled up to the house of Senor Francisca Parma, and told him he was very hungry, 'fbe latter gave him a good dinner, besides furnishing food for future emergen¬ cies, and then instructed the other Indians at the rancheria to care for him. They replied that they had always done so, as they eutertained unusual reverence for the old man on account of his age. The day he died was a cold day in Lower California, and Long Hide was given an extra blanket by his dusky friends. This he soon tore into strips, put them on the fire, and soon his “teepe,” or brush house was all ablaze, Wh n this had been accomplished despair tor the moment seeming ti seize him, plunged)headlong into the burning mass, A stout young Indian near by seiz d him and tried to drag him out of jdanger, but the old man grabbed a stake in the ground near by, held himself in the fire, and before otbRr be } p cou ! d cowe be was literally roasted alive, dying within a few hours after the occurrence mentioned. LoDg Hide was married and the father of several children when the mission of San Diego was built, one hundred and twenty years ago, and from what he told parties who visited him, be must have been not less than thirty years old at the time. Three or four years ago he lost a son who could remember when the mission was tirat built by Franciscan friars. This son must have been not less than one hundred and tweuty years of age. Long Hide told of the first settlement of Old Town years before the mission was built, of the coming of ships for water at Russian springs, and many things of great interest in the past history of San Diego and vicinily. Juan Melendrez, who lives near the Real del (Castillo, says he knew Long Hide fifty years ago, and that he appeared nearly as o'd then as he did the week before he died. He says the old man frequently beat the best horses owned in the country on trips to San Diego, one hundred miles distant from the Real, aud that he often chased deer until they gave up with fatigue. He would then capture them after they had lain down to rest. Until a year ago he was able to walk about and travel quite well. Since then he has been obliged to craw! about on all fours, like a cat or dog. He retained his sight per¬ fectly, and all the faculties ot mind up to the day he died.—San Francisco Paper. Cha'-ing a Loon With a Tug. Just before a recent squall ia Chicago a tug discovered a great loon and endeavored to run him down, Tae <ap ain tells the story himself: The looa is the shape of a duck, but this fellow was as large as a doz¬ en ducks. He bad a white breast, and dar¬ kish bead and wings. We gave chase, and i he went in a straight line. As we chased he drank in water rapidly, probably taking in ballast so that he could live and stay un¬ der water. He suddenly disappeared, but came to the surface astern of us a minute later, aud we turned and went after him a gain. He seemed to realize that we wer beat on his destruction, aud took to swim, ming in a circle. Ours is a ten-mile boat and, wilh the helm hard ove-% we made at least the rate of seven miles an hour and were gaining on him fast.
