IMPoRTANT.-W have great news for
the topers Whiskey and brandy can
now be made out of coal gas, which
consists of carbon and hydrogen, as
does alcohol, with the addition of oxy-
gen. For several years past the pro-
cess of converting defiant gas into
spirits has been talked of, but now a
French patent has been obtained for
the purpose, and sold to a company in
London. You take away one-half the
hydrogen, add little oxygen, and
presto you have bottle of brandy.

WATERING NEw-sEr TREES AND PLANTS
Where the soil is rich, deep, and
well titled, and if the planting is done
in moist or showery weather, there
will seldom be any need of watering
But if really necessary, proceed as fol-
lows
Just before setting out the tree or
bush prepare the hole Of a generous
size. pour water into it and leave it to
settle gradually away. Then set in
the tree, spreading out the roots and
covering them with the best soil at
command. This done, mulch the sur
face with leaves or straw, laying over
the whole a few fiat stones A tree or
plant of any sort SO managed will sell
dom need any after-trcatment But
if the soil is poor and light, and the
season is dry and hot, it may be nee
essary 70 help the tree along. Take off
the mulch, and three or four inches of
the soil, and pour in as much water
I from which the chill is removed, MS is
needed to soak the ground, then put
back the earth and mulch. Once OF
twice during an ordinary season, will
be rs often as this treatment will
/ probably be needed
If trees are watered directly on the
top Of the ground and with no mulch
the soil bakes hard like bricks, and
IS worse than no watering.-Agrtcm
turalis.

How THE CREDULoUs ARE SwINDLED-
The attention and often the cupidity
of credulous readers is attracted by
seeing flaming advertisements IN the
papers, Offering gold and silver watches
and various articles of iewelry, valued
at from 81 to 500, ''to be sold for one
dollar each, without regard to value,
and not TO be paid for till you know
what YOU get" The advertisements
state that certificates ut twenty-five
cents each, or five for 81, of all the ar
ticles, are placed in sealed envelopes,
and sent by mail as ordered, without
regard to choice; and on the receipt
"you will see what You can have, and
can then send 81 and take the article
or not" A gentleman in New York
has recently been at the pains and ex-
pense of investigating this system,
which, as might be expected he finds
gross swindle. He sent letters to
five separate firms who advertise IN
this way, ordering certificates, and en-
| closing $40 III each letter. In reply
he received for his 500, 5SS eertiti-
Gates, which, on the further payment
of 81 each, would entitle him to receive
goods valued at $2,153. He now in
vested 500 more to test the repre-
sentative value of these certificates
Z He presented at the business places o
. these firms handred certificates, Sc

! value, paid the money, and receives

Foolish PRIDE. We have often heard
a half grown up boy say pettishly to
his mother, 81 don't like to be seen
carrying a big bundle through the
streets" But true pride is ashamed
of such littleness of mind Mr.. Aston,
the wealthy millionair of New York,
was reluctant to sell some goods to a
young man, except for cash. The mer-
chant paid for them and took them on
his shoulder to carry them out of ms
store. Mr.. Aston looked in surprise
but before the merchant had gone
many steps, he called him back, saying
you may buy on credit to any amount
can trust you, sir. A man who IS no
ashamed TO do his own work Is SURE
to succeed" Here is a good lessor
for false pride
The Vermont transcript. [volume] (St. Albans, Vt.) 1864-1870, 1864-07-01

to ascertain beyond question their
value, they were all sent to the United
States Assay Office. when it was found
that the actual value of these articles,
sold by these five firms for gold and
silver, was nine dollars and sigty-t,co

farmers to know that in France pota-

by planting in April, the roots become
corrupted by the alterations of frost
