TEA AS A SUMMER DRIN'K. rVederiek Sala. writing from Russia to the lloustKold Word, mentions that on ,aule near him stands "alartrish turn en. j .:.i. .. . i:....:.i r u e, col in which floats a thin slice of I . . . . le,on. It is tea the most delicious, the most soothing, the most thirst-allaying drink yon can have in summer time, and in Russia." Tea flavoured with the slice of letiiuii we have never tried ; neither are we prepared to recommend as a sum mer beverage, tea teaming hot,' as Sala does. But tea made strong (as we like it, or as strong as yon like it,) well sweet ened, with good milk, or better, cream in it, in sufficient quantity to give it a dark yellow colour, and the whole mix ture cooled in an ice chest to the teuiper rature of ice-water, is the most deli cious, the most soothing, the most thirst allaying drink" we have ever treated our selves or friends to. We know of noth ing to compare with it for deliciousness or refreshment. It cheers, but not ine briates. Its stimulus is gentle, its flavour exquisite. Try it, good reader ; make a note of this now, and when the summer fever visits you, and you feel-, with Sid ney Smith, that for the sake of coolness you could get out of your flesh and sit in your bones, try our specific of ice-cold tea. Ice cream is the only preparation tit to be mentioned with our cold tea. A Colourfd DiscoiiiM .

A few facts on this subject will be instructive : 1 On Friday,' August 21, 1492, Colum bus sailed on his great voyage of discov ery. On Friday, October 12, 1492, he made his first discovery. He returned to Spain on Friday, Jan. 4, 1493. On Friday, June 13, 1494, unknown to him self, he discovered the continent of Am erica. In short, Friday was Columbus' lucky day, and, as regards the continent of America, may almost be said to be a Saint Day, for all its great and most lasting eveuts occurred on Friday. On Friday, March 5, 1496, Henry VIII gave John Cabot bis commission, which led to the discovery of .North America. On Friday, November 10, 1620, the May Flower, with the pilgrims, made the harbor of Providence Tow n, and laid the foundation of the American Constitution. George Washington was born ou Fri day, and, during the war of the Revolu tion, all the victories won by the Ameri cans were obtained on a Friday. And to crown this series of triumphs, for a .lav held in such disesteem in Eu- rope, on 1-riday, July 4, 1776, the motion ant 8at on tllB 8eat witll the unfortnnate in Congress was carried, declaring the ma0f am was bespattered with blood.
