It is explained that these
classes have been gravely con-
stituted, and without any idea
of burlesque. In view Of the
physical dwarfng of our race
by the vitiated habits and GUS
toms of the day, the Directory
think it pertinent to consider
whether we are not in danger
of becoming pigmies physically.
Are we not, they inquire, in
our pursuit of bringing up the
qualities of inferior animals to
a more perfect standard, liable
to forget cur own race? They
seem to have decided the ques-
ton affirmatively; at least they
are willing to try the effect of
competition. But why encour-
age "the smallest man?"

WHY WooD IS PAINTED.-When
water is added to the smooth surface of
timber, a thin layer Of wood will be
raised above its natural position by the
expansion or swelling of the particles
near the surface. In colloquiaI phrase,
workmen say that when water is APP
piled to smooth board, the grain of
the timber will be. raised. Every sue
cessive Wetting will raise the grain
more and more and the water will dis
solve and wash away the soluble pOr-
tiOns with which it comes in contact.
As the surface dries, the grain OF the
timber at the surface, having been re-
duced in bulk, must necessarily shrink
to such an extent as to produce cracks.
Now, if a piece of oilcloth be pasted
over the surface, the timber will be
kept quite dry. Consequently, the grain
of the wood will not be subjected to the
alternate influences of wet and heat
AS it is not practicable to apply oilcloth
ready made, liquid, or milliquid is
employed for covering the surface,
which will adhere firmly and serve the
purpose of oilclOth in excluding water
that would otherwise enter, to the in.
jury of the work. Metallic substances
are painted to prevent oxidation or
rusting of the surfaces which may be
exposed to moisture.

SCIENTIFIC COFFEE MAKING.-PFof.
Liebig, the German Chemist, says good
coffee should be rich in two principles,
extract and aroma. When boiled long
time coffee is rich in extract but def
cient in aroma !; and when boiled only q
short time it is rich in aroma but def
cient in extract. In order to obtain
both of these properties, Prof. Liebig
directs us to take twO-thirds of the
ground coffee needed for the meal, put
it to the water and boil briskly con-
siderable time, and when the meal is
nearly ready, take the coffee from the
fire and add the remaining third of
ground coffee ;,stir it well, let it stand Il
few minutes and serve.
The above directions will not avail
much if the coffee is not properly roast
ed. Roast often, and in small quanti-
ties at a time. According to NJ. Schad-
ler, only half the quantity of finely
ground coffee is needed, in order to pro-
duce the same strength Of beverage OBJ
tanned by the ordinary coarse ground
article. If, after Oriental fashion, the
ground coffee is crushed fine in q NOR
tar, only twO-fifths Of the coarse is need
ed. Infusion, boiling, filtering through
q bag, all have the same result as re-
CARDS strength, except that by fltering
the aroma of the coffee is better pre-
served. %

WHEN THE Cows COME HOME
Many of our farmers have wasted years
OF va aluable time, just because they did
not teach their cows to come home at
night. Any one who has ever lived OF
travelled in the country will remember
the familiar CO-bOss, Co-bOss! OF the
farmers son, or hired man, as they en-
deavOr to coax the COWS from the great
pasture. We well remember how many
times We have waded through the bush
and bogs looking for the cows, and,
bOylike, thought them dreadful con-
trary animals. But we have lived long
enough to learn better, and now think
that the biped was the more contrary
animal of the two. Boys, we will tell
you secret that will save you q great
deal of trouble, and it is this: Every
time the cows are driven up at night
or in the morning, give each one a good
lick. of meal or bran, and our word for
it the cows will always be on hand at
milking time: Besides this, they will
give more milk, and forget to kick over
the milk pail, even if you do whistle a
little too loud.

TEA A NARCOTIC Po1soN.-This is
what the London Lancet. says: '|Tea,
in anything beyond moderate quanti-
ties, is as distinctly a narcotic poison as
opium or alcohol. 1t is capable of ruin
ing the digestion, of enfeebling and
disOrdering the hearts action, and of
generally shatteriBg tile nerves. And
it must be remembered that not merely
is it question Of narcotic excess, but
the enormous quantity of hot water
which the tea -bibbers successfully take
is exceedingly preudicial to digestion
and nutrition. In short, without pre-
tending to place this kind of evidence
on level as to general effect with
those caused by alcoholic drinks, one
may well insist that our tea total re-
formers have overlooked, and even to
q small extent encouraged, a form Of
animal indulgence which is as distinct
ly sensual, extravaganza, and perniciOus
as any beer-swilliRg or GIN drinking in
the wOrld.n

How to File "a Saw.

The grand secret of putting any saw
in the best possible cutting order, says
the Industrial Monthly, consists in fl
ing the teeth at given angle to cut
rapidly and of a uniform length, so that
the points will all touch a straight
edged rule without showing q variation
OF hundTedth part of an inch. Be
sides this, there should he just enough
set i'll the teeth to cut kcrf narrow as
1T can be made, and at the same time
allow the blade to work freely without
,plnching. On the contrary, the kerf
must not he so wide as to permit the
blade to rattle when in motion. The
very points OF the teeth do the cutting.
II one tooth is the twentieth of an inch
longer than two or three on each side
OF it, the long tooth will be required to
do so much more cutting than it should,
that the saving cannot be we'll done.
Hence, the SAW goes jumping along,
working hard and cutting slowly. II
one tooth is longer than those on either
side OF it, the short ones do not cut,
although the points may be sharp.
When putting crOss-cut saw in order,
it will pay well to dress the points with
an old file, and afterwards sharpen with
q fine whetstOne. Much mechanical
skill is requisite to put q saw in prime
order. One careless thrust with Il file
will etfectually shorten the point of
tooth so much that it will be utterly
useless, so far as cutting is concerned.
The teeth should be set with much care,
and the filing should be done with
great accuracy. If the teeth are uneven
at the points, large fiat file should be
secured to q block of wood in such q
manner that the very points only may
be Joined, so that the cutting edge Of
the same may be on a complete line, or
circl le. Every tooth should cut little
as the saw is worked. The teeth of Il
hand-saw for all sorts of work, should
be filed tleaming, or at an angle on the
front edge, while the back edges may
he filed tleaming, or square across the
blade. The best way to file circular
saw for cutting wood across the grain
is to dress every fifth tooth square
across, and about one twentieth of an
inch shorter than the others, which
should be filed feaming at an angle of
about forty degrees.
