FUEL.-lt is common mistake among
farmers to burn wood the same year it is
cut Two cords of dry wood will give
more heat than three cords in an unsca-
sOned state. When the moisture in the
burning wood is beng eraporated it has
the power of taking up heat; its own
bulk is increased one five hundredth part
for every degree Of heat added, and it
travels up the chimney or stove pipe with
the heat. If wood be cut two years be-
fore its use, it will be found much more
economical; all the heat will be radiated
ir the room, or at least very much lar
ger portion than when it is accompanied
by moisture. When under steam boilers,
green wood will not make steam, at least
in the boiler, for the heat is used in con-
verting the water Of the wood itself into
steam, as it passes through the fues into
the chimney, without heating the boiler.
This is true net only of wood, but also in
a degree of coal, especially bituminous
coal, which, when wet, radiates but little
heat, the majority passing up the Chin
ney. Even anthracite coal is capable of
holding some water. 1t should always
be carted on dry day, and placed under
cover for winters use.

TEETH SET ON EDGE.-All acid food
drinks, medicines, tooth washes aud pow
ders are very injurious to the teeth. If
tooth is put in cider, vinegar, lemon
juice, or tartaric acid, in a few hours the
enamel will be completely destroyed, so
that it can be removed by the finger nail
as if it were chalk Most people have
experienced what is commonly called
teeth set on edge. The explanation of
it is, the acid of the fruit that has been
eaten has so far softened the enamel of
the tooth, that the least pressure IS felt
by the exceedingly small nerves which
pervade the thin membrane which con-
meets the enamel and the bony part of the
toeth. Such an effect cannot be pro-
duced without injuring the enamel
True, is will become hard again, when
the acid has been removed by the fluids
of the mouth, just as an egg-shell that
has been softened in this way becomes
hard again by being put in the water
When the effect of sour fruit on the teeth
subside, they feel as we'll as ever, but
they are not as well. And the oftener
1t is repeated, the sooner the disastrous
consequences will be manifested.

RIyERs-How THEY FLow-All riv-
ers small or large, agree in one character;
they like to lean little on one side they
cannot bear to have their channels Deep
est in the middle, but will always, if they
can, have one bank to sun themselves up
on and another to cool under: one shlngly
shore to play over, where they may be
shallow, and foolish and childlike: and
another steep shore, under which they
can pause and purify themselves and get
their strength of waves fully together for
due occasion. Rivers in this way are
just like wise men. who keep on one side
of their life for play and another for work;
and can be brilliant, and chattering, and
transparent, when they arc at ease, and
yet take deep cousel on the other side
when they set themselves to their main
purpose And rivers are just in this d.
vded also, like wicked aud good men +;
the good rivers have scrviceable deep
places all along their banks that ships
can sail in; but the wicked rivers go
scooplng irregularly under their banks
until they get full of struggling eddies
which no boat can row over without be-
ing twisted against the rocks, or pools,
like wells which no one can get out of
but the water-kelpie that lives at the bot.
tom; but wicked pr good, the rivers all
agree in having two kinds of Sides

A Drunkard is the annoyance of mod.

wealth, the destruction Of reason. He is
the thief of his own substance, the beg

He is his wife's woe, his ehildreu'S sor-
row, his neighbor's seof, his own shame.
He is spirit of unrest, thing below a

Rev. Robert Colyer says this of the
women of America 1.-The women of
our land have distanced all their sisters
on the earth for general steady devotion
to the material needs of the soldier. We
may challenge any people to show such
perfect devotion manifested in such .
way. When the history of this war il
written, the Sanitary Commission will
have to write, I'VE should have been able
10 do very little for the comfort of eut
men, had it not been for the untiring de-
votion of our women, and their generous,
boundless gifts of what was most needed
Of the part taken BY women in that which
pales, all gifts of food and garmentsg I

Mothers gave their sons, wives their hus-
bands, and then sas down to their daily
life. THAT is the portrait of a young
man, the only son Of his mother, and she
was a widow friend said to me one
day, opening her album they are rich

schools, had just come back from tour
in Europe when tha war begun he went
into the army at once, and was killed at
Balls Bluff ....-
ga lady now the widow of one from
our own State who fell at Pittsburg, went
up to the field on one of the first boats,
and when she arrived found her husband
dead. The novelist, who processes to
give us life as it ought to be, will say,
then she sat down by his bleeding corpse
all night long and wept.' TIE angel who
writes down in the book kept in the ar
chives Of heaven life as it is, has written
out in fair golden characters The wife
of General Wallace, of Ottawa, went to
Pittsburg to fnd her husband, who WAS
represented wounded, and found him
dead. Then she looked on the face of
her dead, and wept for little season.
| But she saw all around him on the boat
the men who had fought and fallen with
him there yet alive, in pain aud thirst,
with none to help them. So she turned
away from her dead, sent back her tears
into her heart, and turned to the living,
and all night long she went from man to
man with water and words of comfort,
and the holy succor that must come out
Of such an inspiration in such place."

FORGERY OF BANK OF ENGLAND
NOTEs.-The Directors of the Bank Of
England have met with a serious reverse.
Hitherto, their great protection against
the ingenuity of the forger has been the
popularity of the manufacture of their
paper-a peeuliarity which has hitherto
defed imitation. Various as have been
the attempts to initiate this paper, 1t has
never been successful, for spurious
Bank of England note could always be
de- ected by the quality of the paper alone
that is, detected by all who are accuss
toned to the handling of the notes.
Finding that they could not successfully
make this paper, the forgers have had re-
recourse to a more simple mode of pros
curing it-they have stolen large GUAM
tity, some say several tons, from tho
Banks mills, and there is great conster-
nation in Threadneedle street. The rob-
berry was only brought to light by the
great number of forged notes in circula-
ton, which are so like the real thing that
the most experienced in such matters
have been imposed upon, even practised
cashiers and others long accustomed to
the handling of notes. When the pain
full fact was satisfactorily established, tho
Bank Directors Immediately issued re.
ward Of Gl, 800 for the discovery of the
thieves and forgers, of which e300 is to bs
paid for the detection of the paper-steal-
ers, and $1,000 to those who can traod
out the persons using the paper in the
printing of forged notes. Bankers, mor-
ey-changerS, and others are urged 10 the
same announcement to exercise he ul-
most vigilance in the receiving of Bank
of England notes, and are requested to
note the name and address of the persons
from whom they receive them. Tie rob-
berry in question is very serious affair
both at home and abroad, and ITS cnnSe-
quencos may be most disastrous unless
the culprits are detected aud brought 10
justice. In every European city. aud
even on the continent of America, this
robbery will cause CONSERVATION.

Last Tuesday night the telegraph wires were

too awful for anything but the lishtnings of heaven
to carry the great Seal and Sign Manual of the
President of the United States affixed to thedeath
warrant of Constitutional Libertv-a Proca nation
OF Emancipation. And when those thousand
tongues of fire gave utterance the direful words
ana the ears OF the people had drank in their dread
ful import, the heart of the Nation stood still
Hands and eyes were lifted to the Heavens, as
though men expected to see the scroll of the fir
mament rolled back, and in the mighty void the
seventh Angel, messenger Of the wrath of God
pouring out the seventh vial into the air, and to
hear the awful voice, out of the temple of heaven
from the throne, saying, alt is done.''
This morning the Nation is again startled. An
other proclamation, the almost inevitable result of
The corner, suspending the writ of habeas corpus,
has been hurled at the people. 1t withers and

tains OF Law, Order and Justice are dried up. and
henceforth the lives, the property and the liberties
of the American people are at the mercy and dis
