of clothes well covered with water add one
teacupful of washing fluid boil half an hour

What Constitutes a Gentleman.

The late Judge Talfourd, in case tried
at Bristol assizes, shortly before his sudden
death, thus defined the character of gentle.
man : The evidence proved that the defen
dant, while in the theatre, had said to the
plaintiff, 500 not speak to me l am a gen
tleman and you are tradesman." "Gen
tleman," said the learned judge, sis a term
which does not apply to any station. The
man of rank who deports himself with dig
nifty and candor, and the tradesman who
discharges the duties of life with honor and
integrity are alike entitled to it; nay, the
humblest artisan, who fulflls the obligations
cast upon him, with virtue and honor, il
more entitled to the name of gentleman
than the man who could indulge in of
fensive and ribald remarks, however high
his station"

essay on "The Ok" from one of its young
contributors, just as it came from his pen:
"Oxen is very slow animal they are
good to brake ground up. | wood drather
have horses if they didn't have koliek, which
they say is wind collected in a bunch, which
makes it dangerser to keep horses than an
OK. if there was no horses the people would
have to wheal thare own wood on a wheel
barrer. it wood take them two or three days
to wheal cord mile. Cows is useful to.
have herd som say that if they had to be
