As to thread he gets' the coarsest he can find, an' this he doubles. "He weak' thread his needle. He takes his big needle inone hand and his coarse black thread in the other. He bites off thread to the desirable length. Then he tries to twist to a fine point.

' The ' educated .class„ .the members of the liberal prOfeesionte the, .denizens of the eity, the merchant and his clerks, suffer more than , the " poor laborer :from heat, if not from cold. As hetwe'en the sexes there is little difference in this respect. Civilization even extend e its cruel .harid over the babein.ite cradle, and would afflict the dead if they had any feelings tett.. .Science has investigated the eliorbentand , radiant power of different fibres and different colors, but man in his witidern disregards this, and prefers the worst instead of the, .best.

The mistake that meet people make' in preparing tea for a Cold drink is in letting it stand too long on the, tea leaves, stand until cold. This brings out all the bitter, indigestible qualities of the tea, leaf, which may be somewhat disguised by the lemon and sugar added, but remainto torment the drinker. To get the fulthetaffiref good iced tea, first heat the proper quantity on a tin plate" or an iron plate; • let it get thoroughly hot so theta would crumble to dust between finger and thumb., Then kt.t. scald out the teapot 've'ry hot, using an earthen pot, Which is the only teapot that has no black deposit left on it from other tea makings; add to this from the kettle the first boiling of water out of the freshly filled kettle, and let it draw five minutes and no more. Pour off to tiool, and when entirely cold add the same quantity of good milk to your Pitcher. You will Jambe not only axefreshing but a nourishing drink. Of °Curse, if lemon is called for you omit the milk. • Seasonable Recipe. In families where lemonade is constantly called for by the glass, it is well worth knowing how to keep the remaining half lemonsgooda Do net roll the lemon; cut smoothly through,' and -,set the unused piece, out surface down,' firmly on a flat plate. Suction keeps it air -tight and per- fectly safe for a day or two more. Oyster Pie. -Line a dish with rich puff paste and fill the dish with cruets of light bread, and cover with a top crust of paste. Butter well the edges of the dish.

LATEST CAELE A dearttoti from CotatitantinaPle Hays: The leading Turkish diplomatists are convinced that the influence of the Porte in Egypt is praticarly a thing of the past. Although the Porte will make every effort te secure a voice in the final settlement of the Egyptian' 'question ,there is little confi- dence in the success of the attempt The fact is recognized that an entirely new order of things utast be eetatitielted in Egypt, and it Iseadinitted: that, E,nglea,id cannot' permit the • interference' of any tither Pewee in thetadjustmenta :It is be- lieved the British Cabinet has made direct secret negotiations with the Powers to obtain their. assent - tQ the measures • Proposed by England regarding the financial.control, protection of the Suez Canal and reorgani- zatiou of the Egyptian army.

It is argued that if a firm course had beet pursued Egypt would not now be at the mercy of foreigners. That England will make the most of her conquest is thought to be certain, and it is believed that the Governor of Egypt will hereafter be Absolutely under the English control while' every exertion will be made to restore the statys quo ante bellutn, and thus deprive the Porto' and continental Powers of any plausible pretext for interfering in Egyp- tian affairs. This point gained, England will proceed to deal with the question entirely within the view of her own 'interests, and secure complete control of the international highway to the East. , —Phe -War -Office -has -arranged -that -three - battalions of infantry shall remain as a garrison at Alexandria, and nine battalions at Cairo.
