LApLAND GLUE. The bows of the Lap
landers are composed of two pieces of wood
glued together; one of these of birch, (which
is flexible) and the other of the fir of the
marshes, (which is stiff) in order that the
bow, when bent, may not break; and when
unbent it may not bend. When these two
pieces of wood are bent, all the points of
contact endeavour to disunite themselves /;
and to prevent this, the Laplanders employ
the following cement. They take the skins
of the largest perches, and having dried
them, moisten them in cold water until they
are soft that the scales may be freed from
them. They then put four or five of these
skins in reindeer's bladder, or they wrap
them up in soft bark of birch tree, in such
a manner that water cannot touch them, and
place them thus covered, into pot Of boiling
water, with a stone above them, to keep
them at the bottom. When they had boiled
about an hour, they take them from the
bladder or bark, and they are then found to
be soft or viscous. In this state, they en-
ploy them for glueing together the two pie
ces of their bows, which they strongly COM
press, and tie up until the glue is well dried.
These pieces never afterwards separate.

always marked by a franknes and hospi-

Ii mas been remarked by several writ
ers, that the Turks treat their wives as
slaves, and consider them only made to
40 the drudgery and work, while the men
loii on Ottomans or smoke their pipes at
the Coffee-house This is untrue. No
people pay greater respect to the sex than
they DO. 1t has also been said that the
majority ofthem have plurality of wives.
lbs is alsosa mistaken idea. / have Ia
ken particular pains to inquire into this.
ana found that there was scarcely an
instance In Smyrna of Turks having
more than one wife. The Turks are
brave In the extreme, and when aroused
10 anger, undoubtedly unfeeling; but
when treated with respect and attention,
they are kind, attentive and generous.
Ihey seem to possess more nobleness of
soul than any other class of people. |
have heard officers of almost every nation
say, that when they left home, their good
parents had instilled into them notions
very prejudicial to the Turkish character:
but when they became acquainted with
them, instead of thinking them such
wretches as they had been described, their
character and manners were subjects of
admiration.-N. Y. Morn. Cou.

INDIAN ANTIQUITIES. In the proscecu-
ZION OF the labour pursued on the farm of Mr..
RoDMAN In the construction of a mill dam
and race, the workmen have exhumed many
skeletons of the aboriginal inhabitants of our
land. They are found in little groups, over
a wide extent, at considerable distances
from each other, and buried in different DO
sltlons. The ground is near the shore, and
from the immense quantities of shells that
cover it, must have been, at former period,
favorite resort for the wandering children
OF the forest, to collect the food which at
their short seasons formed their principal
support.
During these visitations, the lot of human
lty has overtaken many, and their relicks
of mortality have been deposited on the spot
which witnessed their separation from their
tribes. If there ever were any external ev-
,aehSeS OF tiiis piace Of sepulture, they nave
long since been leyelled with the adjacent
surface for the spot being on high gravely
land, agreeably to the custom of our Ances-
tors, was the first in the neighbourhood to
claim the hononrs of the plough and the
kle and has been CLEANED until exhaust
ed nature refused her wonted products
That there was difference in the rank
which these silent memorials of ages gone
by, held among their contemporaries, is indi-
Gated by the care which they seem to have
excited in the last Offices performed for
them Some were found in sitting pos
ture others lying horizontally, with their
heads towards the setting sun; some, with
out any accompanying tokens of respect,
while others seem to have claimed uncom-
mon honour. have before me, skull and
jaw bone, with several of the vertebre,
which appear to have belonged to hercu-
lean frame, in state of comparative pres-
ervation. The less durable relicks crum-
bled to dust, on being exposed to the air.
By their side were found pipe well filled
with decayed tobacco, several spoons, ear
rings and chains of minute size, of copper,
carefully wrapped in the skin of some beast,
no doubt originally forming the pouch of the
owner, together with cloth, the threads of
which are manifest. And with the same
care, the bones of a small animal, some of
which resemble the head of tortoise, are
preserved.
From the appearance of the teeth, their
possessor must have lived to old age and
perhaps was of the race whom "Uncas"
describes when he says, "once we slept
where we could hear the salt lake speak in
its anger:-then were we rulers and Saga
mores in the land. "-.Ns,o- Bedford JMer.

BEST PREPARATION OF BLACK LEAD
FOR CLEANING Stoves. Mix powder Of
black had with little common gin OF the
dregs fired port wine, and lay it on the
stove with peice of linen rag then with
a beautiful brightness. This viii be found
to produce much finer and richer black
varnish on the cast iron, than either boiling
the black lead with small beer and soup, or
mixing it with white of eggs, &c., wlliUil
