To INITIATE ROSEWOOD. Take half pound
of red sanders and the same weight of log
wood and boil them in one gallon of water for
one hour, then strain the liquid through cloth
and add half an ounce of alum, In powder and
stir until dissolved. This stain is now to be
applied hot to the wood, with a sponge, and it
makes the reddish tinge of rosewood. When
dry, the dark stain for the backish streaks is
made with liquid obtained by boiling one
pound of logwood for an hour in the same
quantity of water as the above, and using it in
the same manner. The dark stain can be made
iet-back by adding quarter of an ounce of
copperas to the pure logwood stain Jour.

is Significantly remarked that while the for

to look over the British Possessions in
America 1t is therefore asked whether,
since the tact is becoming more and more
plain to the British Government that they
cannot much longer keep possession of their
great colonies it is not hoped TO do the next
best thing, and constitute them separate
monarchies, with Nictoria's boys for their
