GENERAL REMARKS.


Revenue Stamps may be used indiscriminately
upon any of the matters or things enumerated in
stamps, for which special use has been provided.
Postage stamps cannot be used in payment OF
the duty chargeable on instruments.
1t is the duty of the maker of an instrument to
affiX and cancel the stamp thereon. Ifhe neglects
to do so, the party for whom it is made, may
stan stamp 1t before it is used and if used after the
cannot afterwards be effectually stamped. Any
failure upon the part of the maker of an instru-
ment to appropriately stamp it, renders him liza
bic to penalty of two hundred dollars.
suits are commenced in many States by other
process than writ, viz: summons, warrants, pub
Hcation, petition &C., in which case these, as the
original process, severally require stamps.
Wrts OF scira facias are subject to stamp duty
as original processes.
The jurat of an affidavit taken before Justice
of the Peace, Notary Public other Officer duly
authorized to take af1idavits, is held to be q GER
tlncate, and Is subject to a stamp duty of five
cents, except when taken in suits of legal proceed
ings.
Certificates Of loan in which there shall appear
any printed or written evidence of an amount of
money to be paid on demand or at any time de-
Notes.
The assignment of mortgage is subject to the
same duty as that imposed upon the original in
strument; that is to say for every sum of five
hundred dollars, any fractional part thereof of
the amount secured by the mortgage, at time of
its assignment there must be affixed stamp or
stamps, denoting duty of five cents.
When two or more persons join in the execution
OF an instrument, the stamps to which this instru
ment is liable under the law, may be affixed and
cancelled by one of the parties.
In convcyances of real estate, the law provides
that the stamp affixed must answer to the value
OF the estate OH interest conveyed.
No stamp is required on any warrant of attor-
ney accompanying a bond note, when such
bond or note has affixed thereto the stamp
stamps denoting the duty required, and whenever
any bond or note is secured by mortgage but one
stamp duty is required on such papers, such
stamp duty being the highest rates required for
such instruments, or either of them. In such a
case note or memorandum of the value or de-
nomination of the stamp affixed should be made
upon the margin or in the acknowledgement of
the instrument which is not stamped.

Miscellaneous Selections.

The SKILL OF CHINESE LABoRERs.-
The scaffolding for the purpose of cov-
ering the court is proceeding rapidly, the
chief supports being now completed,
and the upper part in process of being
covered with light bamboos placed a
bout two feet apart. These act as sup
ports for the mating, which is all double,
having lining formed of the millet stalk.
Some of these sheets of mating are fit
ted on bamboo frames, which are not
intended to be moved; while others are
so arranged that by hallards they can be
pulled open or shut like window blinds,
thus enabling the court to be covered
circumstances. The skill and ingenui-
ty which the men display is remarkable.
They move about on the top of this
work, some forty feet from the ground,
with the agility of monkeys, and run up
and down the straight poles like squir-
rels, using only their hands and the sole
of their feet. A leg of mutton on the
top of greasy pole would stand a poor
chance Of remaining long an object of
competition amongst Pekin scaffold-con-
structors. The frame work is secured
only by ropes and twine and great econ
omy is exercised in picking up and re-
moving the portions that are in excess,
several little boys going round in the
evening before the men leave, and pick
ing up all the scraps that have been cut
off and thrown down. The Chinese
workmen display great expertness in
throwing materials from one to the 9th
er to considerable height. [ noticed
this to-day among the scaffold-men, and
it recalled to my memory having seen
one of the masons' laborers taking a
spade full of mortar, and throw it spade
and all to man on the roof of house,
who caught it without dislodging par
ticle ofthe mortar. The paper-hangers,
also are very expert in throwing up
sheets of paper, with one side covered
with paste, ready for being put on the
wall. Their paper for room purposes
is very good, the satin pattern being
the most commonly y used. Paper this
kind is not kept in rolls, as with us, but
in squares of about twelve by ten inch
es. One man stands by the table and
applies the paste, and then adroitly
throws the sheet up to another one,
who fixes it on the wall.-Pehi1e Ct,s1the

A GRAPE ExPERnfENT.-Mr Mr.. Peter
Kehl, the pioneer vine grower on the
Wisconsin, favors the Sauk City Efo-
meer with an account of an experiment
made by him:
''Taken by surprise by the early cold
weather last fall, before he could press
all his grapes, he was forced to winter
them over i'll some manner. He put
them up in boxes and allowed them to
freeze. On the Sd of April he began to
press them, and found that the wine is
hundred per cent. better than that
made from the same quality of grapes
last fall. Out of about 5000 pounds of
grapes thus wintered, he made 625 gal
Ions of wine. Mr.. Kleimpell, who ex-
amined the grapes, says they are in a
good condition, and he did not taste
any better last fall.
A vine-grower made 1887 last year
from five acres of island soil in Lake
Erie. He raised $4,000 pounds of
grapes, and 5000 gallons of wine.

THE SILK SPIDER OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
DR.. B. G. Wilder, late surgeon of the
55th Regimont, Massachusetts Nolun-
teers, gave the first four lectures upon
the above subject i'll Boston, Tuesday
evening. The Journal gives the follow
ing brief but interesting synopsis:
The first of this species OF spider was
discovered by the lecturer on the north
end OF folly Island, in Charleston Har-
Dor, while in camp there i'll August,
1868. He wound from its body in one
hour and a quarter, 15o yards ofyellow
silk. The next year another officer
wound from 80 spiders 34s4 yards, or
nearly two miles Of the silk. A single
thread of this was stl ong enough to sus-
tain weight Of from 81 to lO7 grains
In 1865, DR.. Wilder showed his speci-
men to Prot. Agassiz and others, to
whom, the species was new. Return
ing to Charleston he resumed his re-
searches, and after variety Of adven-
lures and disappointments, succeeded i'll
getting a number of the spiders.
In the course of the season these all
died, from lack of knowledge as to their
habits, mode of living, &c. From the
eggs deposited, however, many others
are PROD duced. 1t is the habit of the
stronger to devour the weaker, so that
out of several thousand, only a few
hundred were raised. The fact, how
ever, was clearly demonstrated that
they could be raised and live through a
Northern winter. In the succeeding
lectures, the method of securing the
silk, and other facts in regard to this in
teresting discovery will be given.
Specimens of the silk will be exhibi-
ted, which was of a golden yellow and
a silver white, and as brilliant as the
metals in appearance.-R.L l. Press.

THE KIDNEYS ARE TWO IN NUMBER,

rounded by fat and consisting of three parts viz:
The Anterior, the Interior, and the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs Interior consists of It's
sues veins, which serve deposit for the
urine and convey it to the exterior. The exterior
is a conductor also, terminating in single tube
and called the Ureter The ureters are connected
with the bladder.
The bladder is composed of various coverings
or tissues, divided into parts, viz the Upper, the
expels, the lower retains. Many have a desire to
urinatc without the ability, others urinate without
the ability to retain. This frequently occurs in
children.
To cure these affections we must bring into
action the muscles, which are engaged in their
various functions. If they are neglected, Gravel

twenty years. with gravel, bladder, and kidney

medicinal preparations, and been und.r the treat

ing but little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively ad-
vcrtised, consulted with my family physician in
regard to using your Extract Buchu.
did this because 1 had used all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, and had found them worthless.
and some quite injurious in fact, despaired of
ever ting well, and determined to rene
dies hereafter unless knew of the ingredients.
1twas this that prompted me to use your remedy.
As you advertised that it was composed of buchn,
cubebs, and Juniper berries, it occurred TO me
and my physician excellent combination,
and, with his advice, after an examination of the
article and consulting again with the se druggsti
eight months ago. at which time was confined
to my room. From the first bottle was aston
ished and gratiticd at the beneficial effect, and
after using it three weeks was able to walk out.
l felt much like writing you full statement of
my case at that time, but thought my improve
cluded to defer and if it would effect perfect
cure, knowing then it would be of greater value
to you and more satisfactory to me-
1 am now able to report that cure is effected
after using the remedy for five months.
have not used ahy now for three months, and
feel as well in all respects as ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor nice tonic and invigorator of the
system, 1 do not mean to be without it whenever
occasion may require its use in such affections

Why does a razor cut better for
being di ped in hot water?" The edges
of all tools, instead Of being perfectly
smoothe, are really toothed like a saw,
and when the razor is Dipped in hot wa
ter, it causes these little teeth to expand,
thus rendering the distance between
them smaller, and consequently giving
the razor a smooth edge.
