T H E IT E R A L I). The Cuban Yeomanry. A very common sight in the cities an large towns of Cuba, early in the morn - iug, is to meet a Monlcro from the country riding his donkey, to the tail of which another donkey is tied, and to this second one's tail a third, and so on up to a dozen or less. These animal are loaded with large panniers, fillea with various articles of produce; some bearing corn-stalks for food for city animals; some hay or straw; others or anges, or banaunas, or cocoauuts, etc.; some wit bnnches of live fowls hang ing by the feet over the donkey's back. The people live, to use a common phrase, "from hand to mouth,'' that is they lay in no store whatever, and trust to the coming day to supply its own necessities. Hay, corn-stalks or grain are purchased only in sufficient quanti ties for the day's consumption. So with meats, so with fruits, so with everything. "When it is necessary to send (o market, the steward or steward ess of the house, always a negro man or woman, is freely entrusted with the required sum, and purchases according to his or her taste or judgment. The cash system is universally adopted, and all articles are regularly paid for when purchased. The Monteros, who thus brisg their goods to market, wear broad palm-leaf hats and striped shirts over brown pantaloons, with a sword by their side and heavy spurs upon their heels. Their load once disposed of, with a strong cigar lighted in their mouth they trot back to the country again to pile up the panniers, and on the morrow again to supply the wants of the town. They are an industrious md manly race of yeomanry. History vf Cuba. X Cup of Tea. A enp of tea is generally made the wrong way.' In the first place the tea is made too strong, thus losing the full tea flavor. In the second the tea is boiled, extracting the bitter tannic acid from the leaf, while the true tea aroma is lost by evaporation. In China the tea is made weak, in the cups from which it is drank, the water being poured boiling hot on the leaves, cov ered for a few minutes, and then drank without either milk or sugar; the Chi nese consider our use of them in tea as by no means the least proof of our bar barism. Dut that is a matter of taste. The water with which tea is made should be fresh, not drawn from the boiler, nor taken from a kettle in which it has been kept standing on the stove, but freshly Loiled for the purpose, and the kettle in which it is boiled should only be used for water. Wash and scald the teapot, and allow an even teaspoon ful of tea for three cups of tea. Pour a cupful of water on the leaves, cover the teapot closely, and set for tea min utes on the back of the stove or range to draw. If you use a teapot "eosey'' i. e. a three-cornered bag of quilted woolen to coverthe teapot the tea will draw just as well on the table. Fill the ten pot with hot water and send to the table. It is absolutely necessary that the water used to draw the tea should be boiling hubblingfuriously, not mere ly at the boiling point; but the tea should never boil an instant after it is poured on. A lump of loaf sugar put into the teapot with the 1 a is said to hasten the infusion.

Ia the early part of the year 1S77, the last of the numerous houses inhabited by .Milton, the poet, was levelled to the ground. It was situated in Petty France now Queen Anne's Gate Westminster, and originally overlooked the Green Park, the back of the build ing opening into York street. In this house "the greatest of poets passed the happiest and saddest years of his life. When compelled by ill-health, in 1652, to resign the situation of Latin Secre tary to the Privy Council, he removed from Scotland Yard to Petty France, where, in communion with the first scholars of the age, he lived for eight years, surrounded by all the moral worth of his time. Here his first wife died in giving birth to her fourth child, and Milton, shortly after her death mar rying again, here also lost, from a sim ilar cause, his second wife, in twelve months after marriage. Lastly, it was in this house that he became totallj blind." In demolishing the house, the stone tablet erected to ililtou's memory, and afHxed to the wall by Jeremy Pentham, who afterwards occupied the next premises, was carefully preserved.' It bore the following inscription: "Sa cred to Milton, Prince of Poets." It is said that when Bentham took visitors to view the House he compelled them to kneel before the slab. This must have been meant as a grim jest. The eccentric recluse was no lover of poet ry. As a duty, he once read Milton's j worns through, but he used to declare that all time spent in reading or writ ing poetry was 3adly misapplied. Everybody ought to be good, and honest, and virtuous; it is impossible to be too honest; but how few of us are really sol There are a great many peo ple who are honest away from home. They make home promises only tc break thein. As husbands thry m.ike a thousand and one promises to their wives, and hint a thousand good things and raise many pleasant expectation that they never seem to think of again. As wives they practice a thousand lit tle deceits, equivocate many times, when straight-forward honesty was just the thing required. As parent they conceal, go around the truth, de ceive and often falsify to their children, when the truth is always the better, always the best. The children see their parents' double dealings, see their want of InU-grily, and learn to cheat, deceive and equivocate. The child is too often a "chip of the old block." The Tape's Reward. Many a noble youth has been reward ed for kindness and consideration to tho mother who watched with tender care and solicitude his early stepe, not always with a prize of money, but at least with the proud consciousness of making her happy to whom lie owes so much. A story is related of Frederick tne ureat, that one day, ringing his bell, nobody came, so he opened the door of the ante-chamber and found hia page sleeping on a chair. In going to awaken him his first impulse was to discharge him on the spot, but, seeing a written paper hanging out of the page's pocket, the king's curiosity and attention were excited. lie drew it out and found it to be a letter from the page's mother, wherein she thanked her son for his kind assistance in sending her the bulk of his wages, and for which Heaven would certainly reward him, if he continued faithful to his majesty. The king was moved by this discove ry, and immediately fetched a purse of ducats and slipped it, with the letter, into the page's pocket. Soon after he rang the bell and awoke the page, who at once made hi3 appearance. ' Surely you have been asleep," said the king. The boy stammered part of an excuse I ana part or a confession, and putting his hand in his pocket found, to his sur prise, the purse of ducats. He drew it out, pale and trembling, but unable to speak a syllable. "What is the mat ter?" said the king. "Alas! your ma jesty," said the page, falling on his knees, "my ruin is intended. I know nothing of this money." "Why," said the king, "fortune came while you were d.w(jiu(5. tun may seuu it to your mother, with my compliments, and as sure her I M ill provide for you both." Sir. BPKimher's Statement. My theory is that a mother's chief duty is the taking care of her children. How came I by this theory? I came by it through the newspapers. I never took up one that did not tell of dishon est clerks, corrupt officials, theft and murder. One day I went into Mrs. Fennel's kitchen where I found the women folk in a state of great consternation. The cakes were all fried for tea, but the salt had been forgotten. "Sprinkle some over thein," said I, "twill strike through won't it?" -on, no!" said Mrs. F., "the salt must be mixed in the dough at the be-ginning." "There," thought I, "that's the figure oispeecn i wntl Let salt stand for goodness, and dough for the children i lie goodness must be mixed in at the beginning, it is too late when the dough is baked into men and women. It will be of no use then sprinkling it on the outside; it won't f trike through.

They create an Appetite, Clood Digestion, and SOLID FLESH AND HARD MUSCLE. to Uarbadoe, first settled by the En glish in 1C24, is described by a recent very observant visitor as the only West India colony where Uritish stock has taken firm root and where Uritish insti tutions have thriven. Of its 167,000 souls, there were reckoned in 1S71 1J, 5C0 whites to 39,573 mulattoes and lO-V 904 blacks; which is at the rate of near ly 1 white to 6 blacks, while in Jamaica the rate is 1 to 30, in British Guiana 1 to 100. Nearly all the whjtes are natives and many can trace from settlers of the time of Charles I. Yet even here, with a dry salubrious, bracing atmosphere, unvisited by malaria and refreshed by constant northeast winds, the Anglo Saxon degenerates without frequent re-enforcement of blood from England. In the other West India islands he is seen to far less advantage. It is to be borne in mind that in the palmy davs of Jamaica the planters were usually absentees during at least' a third of their lives.
