The PRINTING OF CALICoEs. The pattern
on printed calcoes and similar printed cloths,
consist, as Is apparent on the slightest cxam-
nation, of continual repetition of the same
figure. This figure, whatever it be, so far as
it consists of a single color is engraved upon
a copper roller, the length of which CORE
spends with the breadth of the calico, and the
circumference of which corresponds with the
length of the pattern. In general, in such ca.
ses, the breadth of the pattern being very
much less than that of the cloth, it is repeated
many times in the width. This pattern is
therefore engraved upon the surface of the
appear on the cloth. This roller receives the
coloring matter by certain apparatus which
first smears, and then wipes it, so as to remove
all dye except what fills the incisions of the en-
craving. The cloth is then passed between
this roller, and another which has a soft sur
face, the two being pressed severely together
in their line of contact. BY this process the
color deposited in the lines Of the engraved
roller, is transferred to the cloth, and the
printing is completed When patterns in two
colors are to be printed, second engraved
roller is provided, carrying upon it the pattern
corresponding to the second color, and the
cloth, after having been printed with the first
color, is made to pass in contact with this
second roller.

The Boomerang and Waddie.

The boomerang is puzzle, and even mathe-
maticians cannot comprehend the law of its
action. 1t is a piece of curved hard wood in
the form nearly of a parabola; it is from thir-
ty to forty inches long, about three inches
broad, pointed at both ends. the concaye part
quarter of an inch thick, and the covex edge
quite sharp. The mode of using it is as sin
gular as is the weapon. Ask black to throw
it so that it may fall at his feet and away goes
the boomerang for forty yards before him,
skimming along the surface at three or four
feet from the ground, when it will suddenly
rise into the air for forty or sixty feet, descrb
ing curve, and finally drop at the feet of the
thrower. During its course it revolves with
great rapidity, as on pivot, with whizzng
sound. That so barbarous a people should
have invented weapon of this description,
which civilization never contemplated, nor can
explain. is a wonder, setting the laws Of pro-
lection at defiance. In the hands of a Euro
pean. even, it is as dangerous to the thrower
as to the object aimed at, for it may return
and strike himself, whilst, in the hands of a
native, it is most formidable weapon, which
strikes without giving the slightest idea where
the blow comes from his assailant may be
behind thicket which separates the two, and
thus the weapon is literally like the Irishman's
gun-one which will shoot round q corner
The weapon, no doubt, originated in kangaroo
hunting it being necessary that the animal
should not see his assailant He is, neyerthe-
less struck down with unerrng certainty, even
though a copse intervene the boomerang
comes round the corner and breaks his legs.
The waddie is also formidable, from its size
and weight. This, like Msnton's pistols, is
the weapon of honor-for the black fellow Of
New South Wales, like his brother savage OF
the Guards or. of the Line, has his own pecu-
liar notion of demanding satisfaction The
combatants being placed, the party challenged
holds down his head, so as to present the top
portion of it TO his challenger when down
comes the waddie, with a blow that would
crush in the head of an OK but has very little
effect upon that of the person struck, from the
extraordinary thickness of his Uranium. The
challenger now holds down his block in return,
and receives the same compliment, and so on
alternately, til one has his head really broken,
or has enough, when honor is pronounced
by the bystanders to be satisfied. English
gentlemen, whose seconds take care that they
fight with leadless pistols, might adopt the
method of the Australian savage with mani
fest advantage. There is, at any rate, fun in
it for the lockers on, and some trife of danger;
but it is much to be doubted whether mock
chivalric honor would endanger its skull by
the application of the honest waddie of the
savage, which would speedily solve the ques-
ton as to whether the ccmbatants of civiliza-
tion had or had not any brains

A GOOD story is told which has not found
its way into the Charleston papers. The light
boat which was captured has been anchored
at the mouth of the creek which leads to Stono
River. The guns have been placed on board.
The one aiming down the creek is kept loaded
with shot, while the one pointing toward the
city is used to fire morning and evening gun.
Not long since, when the sunrise gun was fired,
a twelve-pound ball ripped through a negro's
shanty, and lodged in hotel, greatly to the
CONSERVATION of an old negro and several
boarders. The crew of the light-boat did not
discover that the boat had turned with the
tide during the night.

How TO PRESERVE THE TEErH.-The mouth
is very warm place-ninety degrees Fahren
het. In this northern climate we seldom have
temperature so high in the shade. Even at
ninety, beef will begin to decompose in twenty
four hours. The particles of beef and other
food which are left between the teeth at din
Der begin to purify before dinner the next
day. If you pick the teeth, the odor of the
breath testifes to decomposition.
With this management, we ought not to be
surprised that the gums and teeth should be
come the subjects of disease.
What is to be done?
1st. Use the tooth-pick tgoose quilD after
each meal. Follow with a mouthful or two oi
water, to remove the particles the tooth-pick
may have left behind.
I'd. Every morning, on rising, use the brush
and CASTLE soap
With these simple things thoughtfully done
you will preserve the teeth 70 old age.

make US wonder to meet in remote antiquity
with the use and practice of many things
whose origin we commonly refer to modern
times for, notwithstanding the presumed SUI
periority of the present over previous ages, we
may still exclaim, as Solomon did over three
thousand years ago" There is nothing new
under the sun, for the thing that has been i;
that which shall be, and that which is done
shall be done"

RATHER more than three hundred years ago
ship partly laden with little green birds cap
tured in the Canary Island. having been
wrecked near Elba, the birds made their escape
flew to the island, and there settled themselves
Numbers of them were caught by the inhab
itanis, and on account of their sprightly vivac-
ity and the brilliance of their voice, they soon
became great favorites, and rapidly spread all
over Europe. The original color of the canary
is not the bright yellow, with which its feathers
are generally tinted, but a kind of dapled olive
green, black, and yellow, either color predom-
mating, according to circumstances. BY care
ful management, the bird fanciers are able to
procure canaries of every tint between the
three colors, having instituted a set of rules by
which the quality and arrangement of the
coloring is reduced to a system. Still the
original dappled green is always apt to make
its appearance; and even when two yellow
canaries are mated, green one is pretty sure
to be found in the nest

"Our stock is up" in the market at
present and bids fair TO remain up; but what
pleases me the most, is the fact that l shall
soon be in a fair way to get some of the bene
fit of it. My class expects to graduate in
about one month! Isn't that glorious The
class which was just above u.s. graduated most
three weeks, and we are being put through a
" course of sprouts " for an early graduation
You can imagine how hard our duties are,
when ] tell you that we shall take but seven
or eight weeks to complete a course to which
a whole year is generally devoted. As sam
pie, last Thursday we had thirty large sized
pages in military seventy
pages in Law, and twenty-five pages in Ord
nance and Science of making. in all
one hundred aud twenty five and to know it
well, at least five minutes should be devoted to
each page. l study about seven or eight
hours per day, and recite about four. I begin
about five and half in the morning, and get
through about ten in the evening and added
TO all this, we have to perform, all our regular
military duty-drills, parade, guard duty, ETC.

SCoTT AND TAYLoR.-In answer to a CORE
spondeut, an exchange paper says: More
soldiers were lost under Scott than Taylor for
the reason that he commanded the largest d.
vision of the invading army, and, it may be
added, was engaged in many more battles than
the deceased ex-President. If we take into
consideration the number of men in the two
great divisions of the army, Taylor's loss was
greater than Scott's. For example: At the
battle of Buena Vista, there were 4,759 men
engaged, and the number killed was 267, the
wounded 456, and the missing so, making a
total of 467. Gen Scott is remarkable for the
caution with which be moves his men, avoid
ing. whenever it is possible, the sacrifice of
life. The grand total of losses under General
Scott, from the capture of Vera Cruz until he
entered the City of Mexico, was 3,703, inclu-
ding 383 officers, of which number 2,340 were
reported wounded and missing.
