IAN honest backwootlsman. unac-
q,ainted with the elegant phrases Of
the day, recently went into a store ut
Columbia, S. c.. to purchase a bill of
groceries. Stepping up to the keeper of
the store, he began with:
..IIava ynsa 1sst amy silgar2.a$
1--WE hain't got anything clse,t' was
the reply.
swell, put me up one hundred and
fifty pounds, and make out your bill.
I'll call and settle and get the sugar
in an hour or so.:'
''In an hour or two after this, the
gentleman called. paid lfs bill and got
the sugar. AS usual, the shopkeeper
said:
''Want anything else ?''
II did want three or four bags of
coffee, some rice, spices, oils, etc, but
l got them at another store. You
tod me you didn't have anything

+. s., Coldwatcr, Mich, writes IL.
that when constructing Il fence some
years since, in which the poasts were
oak, he charred several of them thor
oughiy in order to test their durability.
The result was they decayed as soon
as those set without any means used to
preserve them.
Without doubt they rotted as soon
rs the others, and here is the reason
Charcoal is, practically. inlestrlctible
when buried in the earth. If we can
envelope a post perfectly in this ma
terial its durability will be very great.
But burning the posts in Il fire ortli-
narly will not have this desired effect
The wood shrinks and dies while il
burns. and nseIueiitly gaps and
seams OH the surface; Through thest.
the water finds it. way TO the wood
inside, which from being overheate,l
is more liable to bad effects from it.
If the post was plunged into a bath OF
coal tar when taken from the fire. it
would penetrate and fill these inter-
stices, and probably secure the desired
effect.
