Shirt Making.

TAKE an old shirt, rip it to pieces and
cut out the new one by it, basic it together
and try it on. Don't laugh at the idea; I
know it is an old one, for once heard
young man say he did not know there
was any fit to a Shirt" but trying it on is
the only way shirt can be made to fit, I'M
less you have scientific pattern cut by
practical tailor to 60 by.
After you have got it to fit nicely, un
haste it and cut out pattern, allowing for
the seams and marking all the hens,
gathers, ETC., by notches. so it will be just
right to cut your cloth by So far your
trouble is ended. But few ladies are now
compelled to make bosoms, as they can he
bought for tritle more than the linen
would cost, and by the way, young wives,
buy cheap bcsoms; nice high pliced
bosoms will not wear out the shirts, and
two cheap ones that cost about the same
will, and when starched and ironed nicely
twenty cent bosom looks nearly as we'll
as one costing fifty cents. ] know this by
experience, and l find that two cheap
bosoms last as long as the shirt, while one
nice one is gone, leaving the shirt good
As gen: raj rule do not approve Of cheap
goods, but this is All exception.
Putting the bosom, into the shirt is the
first thing to be done after it is cut. Double
the front Of the shirt in the middle, also
double the bosom and lay it upon the shirt
exactly square and even all around, then
cut out piece one inch wid,r than the
bosom, and half AL inch shorter. Unfold
shirt and bosom, commence at the top OF
Zach side and sew the bosom in place of
the piece you cut out. Then lay plait at
! the bottom and upon each side, both plAln
ola size and large enough to make the
bosom set smooth; stitch the bottom
across. turn tho bosom under and hem it
down, it being half an inch too long, hay

The object of making plat in the shirt
at the bottom Of the bosom is to make the
front OF the shirt narrow. The back you
will at once see needs TO be wider than the
front to give freedom to the arms and
shoulders if both sides are of width the
bosom will shrug together and set out he

seen but could not explain.
Line the front Of the shirt the whole
length and width from the bosom back to
the arm size. some only face a narrow
strip just around the arm size. but the best
way by far is to line the whole back from
the neck down to the bottom Of the arm

Packing Eggs.

THERE is mode Of packing eggs by
which they may be safely CARR, any dis
taLce, and over rough roads, without dam
age. AID there isalDthcr mode by which
hall OF them may be very easily broken.
'the secret lies in solid packing, with an
elastic material between the layers. We
have watched many barrels Of eggs open, d
without single broken one in tnc,n and
manly badly packed, which we would not
have handled had they been ..iven t. us tor
nothing. The proper mode of puck NJ,
either in barrels, boxes, or baske is, is to
place first a layer Of long hay or straw
three inches thick in the bottom. On this
scatter an inch in depth of cut hay or
straw, or chaif or oats, or whatever pack
ing is used; then place the eggs on their
sides, not touching each other, and when
the layer is complete, spread over them
and between them the cut stuff or chaff
two inches deep. Press This down gently
with piece of board, and put another
layer of eggs, taking care that they do not
touch each other, o, the sides Of the bar
rel or box; again ill up the layer OF pack
ing, and press down as before. When the
barrel is full, place layer OF long hay or
straw on the top in such quantity that the
lid must te pressed down with considcra-
bic force to go into i1e place. / he eggs

SIR: Snake bites arc 50 frequent to human
beings and animals in warm climates, that
any antidote hat has been used successfully
should be sufficient reason for publishing it i'll
the public papers.
About q fortnight since a young dog about
nine months old--a mnngrcl-bclOnglng to
one Of the men on the railway works here, was
bitten by full sized puff below the
eyes, but rather under the left eye.
One of the gang, an old English navy, who
believed most explicitly in medicine called
"Pain Killer" and in fact uses it for every
complaint, thought nothing was better than
his own specific; he prescribed "Pain Killer
and Pain Killer" was at once used. few
drops were dropped in the bite, and near a
| Tablespoonful Gdlninist tered inWardly. Under
! ordinary circumstances the dog would have
died in AN hour; but il lived and is now
hearty and well. On administering the med
icne the Dig vomitcd, and on applying it to
! the wound it blrd the dogs head swcllcd ia
twice its o. binary size, h It in two days it was
able to run about. OF what the " Pain
! Killer" may be composed l am quite igno

the Colony, it's remedy in his respect should

How to Plant n Maple Grove.

TIE sugar maple is easily raised from
its seed, which ripens in October. The
sex d is sometim planted Immediately in
beds of finely pulverized earth and cover
ed three-quarters of an inch deep, when it
will sprout early the following spring but
with a warm, moist fall it is apt to grow
before frost and thus be destroyed by the
winter and perhaps it is better to gather
the sex when ripe, mix with dry sand,
place in cool cellar, and SOW early the
following spri' E. The seedlings at one
year old should be transplanted into the
nursery rows, two feet apart, and the plants
eight inches in the row. In two years
they will be from four to six feet high, and
are then ready to transplant into the
forest rows But m4ny thousands Of
young plants may be found on the out
skirts OF maple woods, where cattle do not
browse them. Those are better for being
transplanted into the nursery rows and
grown Tor two years before planting in
forest.
The seeds are sometimes planted direct
ly were intended to grow in the forest
rows; but this is not good way, as it in
wolves much more labor to keep them
clean and the growth will be slower
The land to be planted should be put I'M
der good cultivation and worked in some
hoed crop, for a few " arsafter transplant
ing the NAPLES. When the young trets
get a good start, seed down with orchard
grass, which will grow in shade, or can be
cut and fed green or cured for hay. 1t
may be PASTURE when the trees are too
large to be injured by cattle. The crops
will pay for all cultivation and expense OF
trees for the first five years.
Now when ready TO set the young trees
in the for st rows, draw straight, shallow
burrows, north and south, twenty fee,
apart, and set twelve feet apart in the fur
row, and you will have 49, trees to the
acre. Allowing for some loses, you may
have 1000 trees on twelve acres. These
trees, with proper attention, will he twelve
inches in dianeter twenty years from set
ting after which you may make Ole
p ,und of sugar per year from tree for
The next ten years. Estimating sugar, on
all average, to be fifteen cents per p:und,
and We have $500 per year; but deduct.
ing 500 for labor, leaves $500 per year,
or $4,000 for ten years. This will pay all
arrears of interest up to this time; and
henceforth this twelve acres OF maple
grove will pay the interest on $500 per
acre, with a constantly increasing value OF
timber.-C0, lturul Neso YORKER.
