TIE SUPPLY OF FLouR.-The New
York Tribune contends that the general
impression that the supply OF flour in the
country is short Is based on erroneous
data, for speculative purposes, and pro-
ceeds 10 show that there are now on Lake
Michigan, Lake Erie, and in Canada about
1850 barrels. 1t then adds {:
Suppose 100000 barrels TO be absorb
ed by the destitute points in the interior,
and we shall then receive al tide water
one million borreIS-enough at the rate
Of winter consumption, 5000 bbIS. per
day, to last one hundred and twenty-five
days, or until the middle of next Septem

ADJUSTING THE MOUTH-ATTENTIoN

ADJUSTING THE MoUTH-ATTENTloN
LADIEs.-The London Gazette contains
some important information for the ladies
in regard TO the manner o! placing their
lips when they desire to look amlablo, dig
nifed. &c. 1t says that when lady
would compose her mouth to bland and
serene character, she should just before
entering the room, say, Bosom, and keep
the expression into which the mouth sub
sides, until the desired effect upon the
company is evident. lion the other hand,
she wishes to assume distinguished and
somewhat noble bearing not suggestive to
sweetness, she should say Brush, the re.
suit of which is infalibe. If she would
make the mouth small and pretty, she
must say Flip, but if the mouth be alrea-
dy small, and needs enlargIng, she must
say Cabbage. Ladies when having their
daguerroelypes taken, may observe these
rules with some advantage.
