On the occasion of the mate ria.° dinner of Katharine of Arregon and Arthur, Prince of Wales, the court chroli- eler wrote: "The evening refreshment celled voitl0 10110 brought in by foreseers earls, barons and knights, walking two and two.

Since then what Washington Irving calls the " motherly teapot " has become a power in the world. People have learned how to make tea as well as to drink it. In its first stage ono Englishman had it served up as greens, the w'10101• 111 which it was boiled thrown away. Thera has never been discovered a good substitute for ten. During the war of the revolution our forefathers adopted a "lib- erty tea," which tins made from a four- leaved plant called "loose strife." This plant (0100 11011011 tip like flax ; its stalks, stripped of their leaves, x010 boiled ; tine loaves were thea put into an iron kettle, and the liquor of the stalks poured over them.

On either doof Jesus! a soul need Oto side s o Inalefotor, each also bearing n °roes, being led away to die with Him, adding insult to His death. About them are the soldiers, and behind fellows the aoger, shouting, pitiless, and bloodthirsty mob. ]Helga are chief priests, and elders, sullies and Phari- sees ; here are the rich and the poor, tho high and low, all set against flim, So they go in 1ragi0 procession through the streets toward 1,110 city gate. Christ won't die be. yonil the city wall. " For the bodies or those beasts, whose blood is brought into the salotuaey by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. Wherefore Jesus sus else,that'' Homigghtsanctify the Penllewith 1 His own Mood sfor d withotit 1,h° ,ate." As they go along the way of sorrow, the voices of woman are heard, weeping and la- menting. i3ut Jesus asks n0 tones for Him. " llnnughters of Jerusalem," He says, " weep not for me, but weep for yonroelves and for your children." Brave, calm, composed in 0p)011, strong, except in body, Jesus asks no pity, 13u1 the llosh is weal. Thorn has been a long and terrible strain upon it. Christ has blue no food and no sleep, He Inas onelw•n ) tho angry and bloody sweat 111 the garden of Oethse tan0 ; IIo has suffered betrayal at the holds of one whorl He had befriended ; Ho has seen ells 0011 disciples forsake Him and flee away. With handsbetted He 111s been led by the brutal soldiers to A111100 and to Caiaphns. He has suffered the indignity of an unjust trail, Before Cala- pints, before Herod, before Pelale,Ha has been forced to hear the insults and aecttsatious of the mob. He has stood by while ono of the three men whom, among all others He has lav, d best, hos denied with execrations that he tv.ir know Him, Three times, in the (louse of Caiapha0, in the house of IIerod, in the house of Pilate, 1Io has boon derided mocked, beaten and spitted on by menials, underlings, servants, abjects. He has been scourged, Bowed down in agony of mind and body Jesus falls beneath the burden of the cross. Somebody else must carry it, hero is a elan coming in out of them/entry. Simon of Cyrene shall bear the cross. Him they compel. And so the sad procession a geln advances, '1 he hill of Calvary is reach- ed at last The crossis laid upon tate ground. Josus is laid upon it. Through the extended hands are driven the strong, sharp nails, and through the foot. Those gentle hands, laid so often and so tenderly upon the sick and the sorrowful : those saorocd feet, weary with going about doing good—thus they pierce then ! Tho cross is thrust into the round. On either side hong the two thieves, Phe mooed of Einem 108, with jeering and 11111 se faces, stand staring and looking upon 111111 "ileY gape upon 15 with their mouths as it were a ramping and a roaring lion. 1 am pouted out like water.', and all my bones are out of joint. hIy heart also in the midst of my body is even like melting wax.

So the long, 108pera10 agony begin0. "Fatltor,"lie cries, " foegivo them, for they know not what they do." It is the custom ilk crueifixfoc to ofer to the crucified a drink of some soothing mix. tura of wine and myrrh to deaden the pain of hind and body. The rich ladies of the pity have the providing of 11110 merciful draught for one of their favorite charities. This they ofur to Jesus, but Ho will not drink is With every 8on00u10rt,with mind clear, Ho o'10oses to face death. The inscription is fastened above His head upon the cross. The soldiers part His raiment and cast lots upon it, " And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also derided ITim, Haying Ho saved others, Himself He cannot save;- Jot Hint Savo Himself if Ho be Christ the Son of Clod." "And they that passed by," along the 11ig11tlnoy leading 1,0 the city, reviled Him, wagging their heads and saying. "'1.'hou that tleslroyest tho temple and bulkiest it it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the son of Cod comm down from the cross.

It is a ba'bariam that only a few of our cheaper restaurants arc now guilty of, to offer coffee with milk. On the contrary it seems to ns th1t tea gains nothing, but rather loses some of its delicacy of favor when served with cream, gaining a body that is inconsistent with its 001,11'e. There are none of the breakfast cereals that are not doubly delicious served tvitil cream. A pasty, half cooked dish of oatmeal served with titin milk is quite a different dish from the sane grain when each ker- tel of the 010511 is swollen out to full ' aperfection, a d t i '• i distinct n i s sone hot with ieo•cokl crene.

Thu use of cream in soups and meet dishes 1s Only beginning to be understood in 'this country, There are few of the thick white soups that do not owe their perfection to the cap of hot oream added just before serving.

Tins far we have not touched upon the al- most innumerable delightful desserts that may be made with a foundation of cream, Char/011e R1183o 10001,150 tho simplest of desserts 1011011 0u00 the art of beating cream is acquired. This can be done with an ordinary egg whip, but most persons con succeed better with a cream Alun, The ordinary little churn of tin, 11 cylinder bot two inches across, is of 110 practical vela°, and therefore at delusion aura 011000. To be of use to churn 0hoeld be a cylinder 01 least throe and a half inches across, and about ten inches long. Creast can he rapid- ly beaten in such a churn. As the froth rises it is skimmed ole on a sieve, which is planed over a pan to drip, There is always soma cream in a quart that will not beat to a froth, and this will clrein into the pan and should be used for coffee or some other pur- pose. It is not necessary to beat cretin to a froth in making ice-cream, 01' 111 making desserts in 10h1011 creast is used, Bavarian mama and all varieties of 111011sses call for beatou ceeann. That grand triumph of the Fronch chef's art, a gateau St. Honore, is made with a combination of puff pasta end the boiled pasta for eclairs and cream cakes. Whipped cream proporlyllavored and sweet- ened and a suitable decoration of candied fruit completes the dish. All iced or cold pudding made with a mixture of whipped enroll and boiled rice properly favot'ed is one of the best desserts we have.
