A SEASONABLE. TROUGHT.—A married lady, who was in
the habit of spending most of her time in the society of her
neighbours, happened one day to be taken suddenly ill, and
sent her husband in great haste for the physician. The hus-
band ran a short distance, but soon returned, exclaiming,
"My dear, where shall I find yon when I get back ?"

THE Ass-ON-His-xNess.—A Derbyshire farmer's wife
came to Sheffield a few days ago to look after a sum of mo-
ney due by a tradesman to her husband, but to her mortifi-
cation she was told that he was a bankrupt, and that nothing
could be done till the assignees tact. The worthy dame went
home with a rueful countenance, and informed her husband
that their friend Mr. Diddler had become a baukrupt, and
nothing could be done till the ass-on-his-knees met, the
meaning of which puzzled John very much ; he enquired
amongst his neighbours, but no one could inform him when
such a remarkable meeting was likely to take place ; at last,
the affair having come to the ears of the sages of Foolow, we
understand that august body have called a council to endea-
vour to unravel the mystery.—Shebield Iris.

THE INIFORTA'SCE OF WATER.—The best water for horses
is soft, fresh, and pure rain, river, or pond water; and it is
absolutely necessary, to preserve health in the stable, that a
constant and ample supply should be on the premises. In
order to effect this, when well or sluing water is the only
water to be obtained, it should be put into troughs, having
some clay or chalk at the bottom, and softened before use by
exposure to the sun and air. Such is the effect a change of
water has been known to produce in a horse, that in some in-
stances even the loss of a great race has been, with much
show of reason, ascribed to this cause alone, and careful
trainers have even gone so far as to carry with a horse, on
the eve of an important engagement, a supply of the water to
which he has been accustomed.

fan HUNDRED WEIGHT.—It is not long ago since the
Americans reeuced the hundred weight from 112 to 100
pounds. The odd twelve bothered them in their calculations,
and was observed not to be of the smallest use in any respect;
so, having resolved to cut down the hundred weight to what
it ought to be—namely, one hundred pounds—they imme-
diately, and without any fuss, executed their resolution. This
is a small matter, but it is haracteristic of the country in
which it took place. We question if the British could ma-
nage to take the odd twelve pounds from the hundred weight
without a twenty years' talk. It does not signify that nobody
can explain how or when the odd twelve originated : "There
it is—that is sufficient : it must not be meddled with : would
you ruin the country with your intended.improvement ? Let
the hundred weight alone ; we have become a great people
with it as it is, and with that let us be content."—Chambers.

NATURE OF CONSUMPTION.--The English printer who
seeks in the fashionable shops of Ghent and Brussels, or any
other of the chief cities of Belgium, for English prints will be
disappointed ; they are rarely to be found ; nothing meets
his eye but what is French, for the most part excellent in
taste, and fine in execution ; or if, perchance, he does not
alight on something English in the second or thirdrate shops,
or the depots of English merchants, and of reputed excellence
at home, it is only to make him feel the more the irresistible
conviction of English inferiority of taste. Three classes of
prints are sold in Belgium. The first or the highest class for
the wealthiest customers is almost wholly French ; nine-
tenths of it at least are the production of Alsace, or the
neighbourhood of Paris—muslins. jaconets, fine cambrics,
mouselines de laine, and the intermediate variety of tissues
produced by admixture of cotton, silk, woollen, and even
linen. These goods, compared with those of English, fetch
higher prices, not so much from their finer and better tex-
tures, or more brilliant and faster colours, though in this re-
spect they are pre-eminent, as from their superior taste in
design, and that harmonious felicity of colouring, which dis-
tinguishes the productions of a people who hold undivided
and undisputed sway over the whole empire of taste. The
largest portion of the prints consumed in Belgium is of home
manufacture, and by the lower classes and country popula-
tion. It consists chiefly of what may be considered as the
national print of Belgium, the Mignonette, and similar styles
done, two, and three colours, protected by a duty which
exceeds 25 per cent. No foreign manufacturer can success-
fully compete with the Belgian on his own soil in the lowest
class of prints, protected by such a duty. An intermediate
kind between this purely Belgian and the highest, or French
style, is one adapted to a middle class of customers, and bet-
ter able to support the heavy import duty. Here the English
printer beats out the French, and makes his way into the
market of Belgium to realise a scanty profit. It is in this
class that the contraband trade so much complained of is
chiefly carried on.—Thompson's Notes upon the present
state of Calico Printing in Belgium.

OPHININE PROCESS.—This is the name given by Mr.
Morison to a peculiar method of printing, by means of cy-
linders, of which that gentleman is the inventor and patentee.
The principle which forms the basis of the process is that, if
two cylinders be made to communicate motion one to the
other, by means independent of the contact of their services,
they will give off on each other, or on any intervening sur-
face, exactly the same quantity of ink as may have been re-
ceived, by one or more of them, from another cylinder moved
by the same influence as the first. By the application of this
principle, Mr. Morison is enabled to supply a surface of types
with a constant and equal coating of ink ; and whether the
types, or other surface to be printed from, be placed on a
cylinder and moved circularly, or a vibratory movement,
backwards and forwards, be imparted to a plane surface, as
the supply of ink keeps pace with the movement of the sur-
face, impressions may be taken as rapidly as two men can
supply and take out paper. The inventor has further applied
this principle to cylinder printing in colours, which is effected
by fixing round a drum a number of cylinders, each supplied
with colouring matter from a separate inking apparatus, and
so arranged that their several impressions upon the paper
supplied by the drum combine and form an entire figures-
The motion of the whole apparatus proceeds from that of the
drum, from which all the cylinders receive their movemente
by means of cogs. A little literary production,
