IT should be the aim of the host and
hostess to make each gathering at the
table pleasant, that the mind may be di-
verted and digestion assisted. Do not

BEFORE you ask favor of any man,

A PIECE of grass land that will cut two
tons of hay per acre, or which will fur
nish an equivalent in pasture, cannot
profitablyb be broken up, especially if the
land be inclined to be rough or wet
Many fields which are now covered with
coarse herbage, might, by draining and
manuring, become covered with valuable
and nutritious grasses, and where labor is
scarce and high this course is far prefer
able to putting such land under the plow
Draining is often all that is needed to
produce the change; sometimesa judicious
application of artificial manures might
be profitably used.

cutting timber intended to be used by
builders and carpenters, the average pei
cent. of moisture being less than forty
seven, while in the three following month:
the average is forty-eight, and in the
! three winter months, fifty one. He state:
that properly timber contain!
from twenty to twenty-five per cent. o.
water, and never less than about ten pc
cent; and if the moisture is entirely re
moved by artificial means, the wood lose,

USEFUL HINTS TO YOUNG WRITERS.
Bouquet is French word; boquet is not
| Sobriquet is a French word; soubriuuet il
not. Hors de combat is correct Frencl
eXpressiOn; hors du combat is not lily i
not an English word. To say that person
is lily adapted to any employment is al
incorrect as it would be to say that he i
welly adapted to it. Ill adapted is tn
proper expression. Firstly is not an Eng
lish word; first should be used. Secondly
thirdly, ETC., are correct. The use of tn
word most, instead of almost, is a vul
garism of New England origin. Noun
ending in ey form their plural regularl,
by adding-s; as key, keys; monkey, mon
keys; journey, Journeys; attorney, al
torneys; money, moneys. Ignoranc
leads seme persons to write attornies an
monies, instead of correct spelling. Tn
word whisky has no in it, and its plura
is whiskies, not whiskeys. Don't writ
except when you mean accept.
WE sometimes meet with altered wills
bills of exchange, pawn-tickets and othe
documents from which the original writ
ing has been removed and something els
substituted. In such forgeries it is of ia
more Importance to know whether any
thing was previously written there, tha
to know what it was. Copies of the docl
ment are made, or it is photographed, an
then the writing is removed with dilut
oxalic acid solution, the paper washe
with clean water and laid in shallo7
dish containing dilute solution on We
low prussiate of potash. In most CASE
the iron contained in the ink previousl
used has not been entirely removed frol
! the fibres of the paper, and in cons
quence, the prussiate of potash restore
single syllables or words, and sometime
even whole lines appear, proving tn;
, some writing previously existed ther
Even without removing the secondforge,
: writing, the first may be discovered b
immersing the document, just as it is, i
dilute muriatic acid, and afterwards a
plying the dilute solution of yellow pru
slate of potash, which causes the origin
| writing to appear in blue. The iron
