Washing Calieoes. - Calico clothes
before they are put in water, should
have the grease spots rubbed out, as
they cannot be seen when the whole
of the garment is vet. They should
never be washed in very hot soap
suds; that which is mildly warm, will
cleanse them quite as web, and will
notextract the celcrs SO much. Soft
soap'should reyer beused for calicoes,
excepting for the various shades Of
yellow, which look the best washed
with soft soap, and not rinsed in fair
water. Other colors should be rinsed
IN Fair water, and dried in the shade.

A Turk wears so many Aeas in his
shirt, that a mathematician has just
demonstrated that if they should all
jump at once, they would carry him
across the Bosphorous. This entom-
illogical condition of the Turks will
satisfactorily account for their ten
dency to flee before the Russians at
Balaklava.

Exanlple.-Suppose the girth of a
bullock to be 6 feet 2 inches; length
5 feet 6 inches. The superficial area
will then be "a square feet. This
multiplied by %, in accordance with
the preceding table, gives the weight
1872 pounds.
Example. Suppose pig to mea-
sure in girth 2 feet, and in length l
foot 8 inches. There would then be
81 superficial feet, which multiplied
by IL, gives SS4 pounds as the
weight Of the animal when dressed.
In this way the weight Of the four
quarters can be substantially ascer-
Gained during life. 4 s
