It is exceedingly aggravating to fin women discarding work just as it become financially profitable and men taking it up Yet this happens in numberless cases. A Soon as one employment becomes of action Import and of value enough for men to aclop it, women are quite likely to discard it, o are frightened out of competition with thea stronger brethren, Several centuries ago when the mass of mankind was occupies wilt feats of arms, women wore the oral leeches known. It was considered a mos womanly act to study the virtues of herb and medicines, and even to acquire the ar of surgery. Yet, tilt within the last scot of years, it has been a common thing t sneer at a woman physician as those wit have stopped out of the limits prescribe for their sick. Gradually the prejudic against the woman physician is being over conte. Many other cases might be instance where women have gone back into lucrativ employments from which they had bee pushed by the superior force of men an - made a success of them. The most censer votive thinker would hardly say that bu ter- making was not a woman's employment but as soon as butter -making is couduete in a largo creamery, where it becomes matter of a thousand poundsa week instea • of fifty, and is conducted on scientific pries eiples so that the result is sure, it is don by men. The fact is that our farmers' wives, with theirlong experience inbutter-making, are being driven out of an excellent an lucrative employment by the engagement o finale and alien hands, No one doubts the the business of creameries is a success, ye it is to-belregretted that in woman's p005111 i sphere o has not made this success her own, and hass,llowed the middlemen to come be • tweon her and the market. Why should not farmers anti daughters in a largo neighborhood organize and estab- fish a cooperative creamery, to which they would all furnish the cream? There are abundance of farmers' daughters seeking employment in the cities, studying art, studying ivjtat not, who could do all the work of @ooh an establishment except the work of lifting heavy buckets, which ought to be done by a finale employe. There is no essential part of the work of butter -making which may not be better entrusted to women's hands than to' men's. The estab- lishment should, of course, be conducted on strict business principles. There should be agencies for the sale of the butter in cities and village where it will command the best prices, and such agencios should be in charge of daughters of those interested in the cos operative scheme. There is no possible reason why many of the army of unemployecl women who are continually drifting to the cities for work should not he aided by such a project as this. There is always a de- mand for home-made bread and cake, home- made pickles and home-made preserves, at prices which will compete with t e inferior produce of this kind now for sale. Canning and pickling establisnments of a oimilar kind might also be conducted on the co- operative plan by unemployed women. It is not our purpose to add to the many burdens of the farmer's wife. It is not a queetion so much of whether she finds enough to do as whether what she does gives the best result. There is no use of farmers of limited means educating their daughters for teachers, for the ranks of teachers are over full. There is little more use in educ- ating them in art than there is in educating them to write poetry as a remunerative profession. What they need is practical employment, which will bring a practical money return. jj'Part of a Kitchen Outfit. A lspithe tool -chest is an essential part of the outfit of a kitchen. Every housekeeper . should be provided with a thoroughly good hammer of ordinary size in addition to thetack-!rammer; two good screwdrivers -one of medium and one of small size ; a saw of a size convenient for a woman to use and not too large to saw a ham bone ; a giin- let a file, wrenches, and boxes of nails and screws in several sizes. The articles should be kept in a stout box with a cover, and should be out of the reach of wandering Children seeking what mischief they can devise. However useful manual instruc- tion may beto the rising generation, no housekeeper wishes that the window ledges and other parts of the woodwork of her house should be a field for such practice. Moreover, if the tools are handled by every one they are apt to get out of order. Young gentlemen with as- pirations towards carpentry should be sup- plied with tool chests of their own and be liven a suitable place in which to practice. Tea. It seems hardly possible thattea, which gas become, so common a beverage that it S in daily use on the table of the poorest in the land should have been introduced so recently as the seventeenth century. It Irma first introduced into Holland through. Elle trade which that nation established with theChinese. Pepys, inhisdiary, speaks sf it as a new Chinese drink, which he had had the pleasure of tasting. All sorts of unknown virtues were attributed to it when 'est introduced. Among others, the power Past overcome sleep, so that whole nights night be spent in study, . without hurt to the body. Very early, tea and gossip were associated together. Various poets of filet time dwelt open the tendency that tea ti. Y ° o ° cual l d t d a e d f t t bad to excite scandal.

Very soon after r this, tea came into daily use among all fame- • lies of wealth. It was regarded as a cure. all by some and as a dangerous herb by others. Johnson inveighed against its uso, r but to no avail, for tea became more and more popular. There was more reason to condemu this beverage in a wholesale way s when it was boiled, as it undoubtedly was at first. Boiling develops the tannic which P , is certainly injurious to the nerves, ` Tea should always bemade, as everybody knees nowadays,d boiled. t is not boilingth water, steeped,Yonly '- that it should be water in an actual state of ebullition, but that it shall be water at its first boiling -water that has never been boiled before. The Russians, who are a nation nation of tea -drinkers and are near enough ' to the Chinese to have received something of their methods in tea making, are very particular to use fresh -boiled water, They use the samovar invariably in making tea, 1 but the tea is not made in the samovar, as s many suppose. It is simply the utensil which takes the place and serves the pur- . pose of our tea -kettle. No Russian lady s trusts her servant to make the tea. She t snakes it herself at the table. Therefore she r musthaveautensil which willboil the water r for the tea at the table, and this is what tho samovar does. It. is usually of brass, though I. it may be of other metal. It is urnlike in shape, but, unlike an ordinary urn, it has t an inner compartment, which may be filled s with bursting charcoal to heat the water in g t the other part. The charcoal is not lighted till the samovar is placed on the table. The belling water is drawn unto the tea, which is put into a porcelain or earthenware tea- I pot. The first water is thrown off the tea as soon as it is put on. It is used merely to rinse off the dust. The seoond water is used ail drawingutitoe n at once. and sufficient theke a putiia pot is covered, and as ample tea•oosey is fitted over it. It is allowed to draw till the tea grounds sink. This will be in four or • five minute.e. Sufficient of this stroma tea is poured into each cup or tea -glass, as tea is drunk in glasses set in metal frames in Russ sia, and not in cups and saucers, and the P I glass is then filled with boiling water from the samovar. By this means all the delicate aroma and refreshing qualities of the tea are retained in the drink, and none of the rank flavor, which makes it a dangerous article for nor- vous people to use. Russians do not drink strong tea, and wo would clo well to imitate them in this respect, No metal teapot, not even one of silver, is fit to make boiling water in. Nothing is better for this pur- pose than the old teapots of heavy glazed brown earthenware. It is to be regretted that we do not use a tea-cosoy ordinarily on our tables. This is a tufted cushion in cap shape,which envelops the tea•potand keeps the tea warm. No t:.a of any kind that has been boiled is fit for drink. The longest time that any tea should be allowed to steep is from five to Soren minutes, As soon as it is steeped this length of tine, it should be served. If it waits even a few minutes on the stove after steeping it is rained, --- They are Wearinl; Big Hats in Paris. The Paris hats are large, with flap brims, which are caught up at the back by up- right tufts or ostrich plumes, and invariably have strings for tying under the chin. Some. tunez the hats are straw, and solnetintes are drawn on wire, and are the foundations of the most quaint and curious admixture of colored ribbons and shaded ribbons anti flowers of several kinds ; for example, a large tuft of shaded tulips was accompanied by bunches of cowslipps. The Welsh crown inthese hats is one of tale greatest novelty, and our eyes are for the present so unaccustomed to then that I doubt if anybody could wear them without attracting attention. Close -set wreaths of roses without foliage oftensurround these crowns and are introduced beneath the brim. -[Queen. FEATS OF ENDUKANOE, -- NOV Our Ancestors Enioycd Themselves -Some Curious Deis. Although almost all which were in vogue in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were practiced with leas strictness and formality than they are to -day, they were probably. just as beneficial and certain- lY quite as interesting. There are hundreds of authentic stories of races and other games which took place in England long before the stop -watch was dreamed of. One curious rap was tin orthampton, England, in s run prize of five guineas. the coni• a petitors were two bulls, tour cows, and a calf. The calf was ridden by a boy, the bulls and cows each by a man. The cows all threw their riders, the calf fell down withhis, and one of the bulls anon the wagerbefore a vest, concourse of people. It used to be a custom for noblemen to race their respective footmen and to bet large sums on the result. An instance of this is seen in the dairy of Sir Erasmus Phillipps, fifth Baronet of Piston Castle, 1743. TI entry is as follows : "1720, Sept. 10. -Rode out to New Woodstock, seven miles from Oxford ; dined at the Bear, 2s 6d., ordinary. Y In the evening rode to Woodstock Park, wnere saw a footrace between Groves, (DukePP Wharton's Philli s sD}running ot namesaken,)nd Myof ran the four miles round the course in eigh- teenminutes and won the race, and thereby g is master £1,000, the sum he and groves started for. On this occasion there b was a most prodigious concourse of people, returned to Woodstock, when, after some refreshments, galloped to Oxford. If this tocord were authentic, which is very unlike- "} , it will be seen that none of our modern cracks could begin to keep pace with the winning footman. A celebrated race against time was that of Mr. Osbaldestone, who made a wager of £1,000with Col. Charretie that he could ride 200 miles in ton hours at the ensuing Houghton meeting,. being allowed an stn- limited number of horses- The course meas- tired was what was known as the Round Course, beginning and ending at the Duke's stand, All the saddles to be used were cow- Bred with lambskin to prevent chafing, and were marked with the name of a horse and , a number indicating the order in which ho was to be brought to the post. Provision was made for refreshment and changes of fi clothing for the rider, but the latter was un- necessary, as Mr. Osbaldestono, who was forty-seven years of age, preferred to ride in his wet clothes rather than lose time in into fifty four -mile a 11 heats, the wase distance divided ing horses at every heat. At 12:12 in thehili morning Mr. Osbaldestono started. The firat 100 miles was covered in 4 hours 19 minutes and 40 seconds. When he had rid- den 125 mules, which. he did in five lioura 11 minutes and 30 seconds, Mn Oabaldestone stopped 6 minutes and 30 seconds for lunch. PP Toward the littler part of the er:Orleans* a tremendous storm of wind and rain arose , which, meeting the rider in the face, frigh- toned the horse ho was ridiog so badly that he turned right round. The actual info ofman, riding the 200 miles was 7 hours 1l) minutes and 4 seconds, Minh 1 Maur «'3 minutes and 56 seconds was occupied in changing mounts and taking lunch. The total, 8 hours 42 minutes, was just1 hour 18 min- Utes inside the required time. Twenty Dight horses were used. A much faster ride was made over a fourth the distance b Jennison Shafto, Esq., who on June 2', 1759, undertook to ride fifty miles in two hours ou an unlimited number of horses. He covered the distance in 1 hour 49 miu- •utoaand 17 seconds, thus riding at the rate of almost twenty-eightmiles an hour. Among feats of endurance may be cited that of Mr. Sinclair of Kirby Lonsdale, in Cumberland, England, who for &wager rode a thousand miles in a thousand successive hours on the Swifts at Carlisho. The follow- ing announcement, to be found in Notes and Queries,is interestingas an example of P curious races : "A short time since a race between an elephant and some ponies, ac- companied by &nteteur pedeatriaas, took Place on the Aintree Course, which excited some interest," Unfortunately the result of the race is not given. The passion of "' Charles II. for sports of all kinds is well known, but in Notes and Queries there is a description of a day's sport too interesting to omit: New -Market. Marcie 13. Tits day was e. race between a horse of Mr. Brown's called Have -at -All, and the Sussex- Pad. They rode nine stone each for £300 a horse, and continued very equal for a great while, till at the tuuting of the lauds Have- at -All had the misfortune to break his hind legs short in two, which being thought im• Pcssible to be cured, they ordered bun to be shot upon the place.
