REVOLUTION IN HoUss PAINTING. The CATH
olic Mirror says: The advertisement of the New
Jersey Enamel Paint Company has been some
time in our columns and it may seem strange
that it is ouy to day we c,l special attention TO
il. Our reason for This is that we do not like
recommending thing unless we know it is good
We are pleased to find that the agent, Mr.. g. P.
Knight, was of our way of thinking. and wished
above all that the paint should be tested SO that
the editor could give mis- conscientious opinion
of it's merits. Having had this test made in our
own household we have no hestaucy in saying
that the Enamel Paint comes up fully to all that
is claimed for it. In the country especially, where
it is difficult TO procure the necessary ingredient
for mixing paint, and skilliul workmen to apply
it, the Enamel Paint will prove invaluable. as it
is already prepared, and can be applied by any
one possessing ordinary judgment For plain
work in private dwellings, churches and school
houses. It will prove very economical as we'll as
beautiful. One gallon of this paint will cover
twenty square yards, giving two coats Our
friends may safely give it a trial without fear OF
disappointment.

The Queens Grammar.

Ir is, of course. well understood that
the Queens speeches are written by her
ministers. Her present government hap
pens to contain in the First Lori of the
Treasury and the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, two very distinguished classical
scholars. Yet bad as the grammar of the
Queens speeches usually is, the Ministry
seem this me to have surpassed them
selves. The Queen herself writes-when
she chooses to address her subjects per-
sonally-very simple and dignified Eng
lish. But who could read without trans
lation such a sentence as the following
The thanks Of the government are ex-
tended to the arbitratOrs for ''thn care be-
slowed by them on the peaceful adjust
ment of controversies such as could not
but impede the full prevalence of national
goodwill in case where it was specially
TO be cherished" This conundrum we
leave the reader to render into English /;
he may succeed by dint of running it
through two or three times. Again,
when the government wishes to say that
they were able to go on with the arbitra-
ton because the indirect claims had been
excluded, they record that the Queen
"was enabled to prosecute the inquiry in
consequence of the exclusion of the indi-
rect Claims" We do not think state
document should be flippant or familiar,
but surely the resources of our language
are sufficient to express any plain fact in
words which are at once clear and digni-
fied.-Hearth and Home.

How Drinking Causes ApOplexy.

1t is the essential nature of all wines and
spirits to send an increased amount of
blood TO the brain. The first effect of
taking glass of wine or stronger form of
alcohol, is to send the blood there faster
than common, hence the circulation that
gives the red face. 1t increases the activ-
ity of the brain, and it works faster, and
so does the tongue. But if the blood goes
to the brain faster than common, iI re-
turns faster. and no special harm results
But suppose man keeps on drinking, the
blood is sent to the brain so fast, and in
such large quantities, that in order to
make room for it the arteries have to en-
large themselves; they increase in size,
and in so doing they press against the
more yielding and fiaccid veins which
carry the blood out of the brain, and thus
diminish their size, their pores, the result
being that the blood is not only carried to
the arteries of the brain faster than is ma
tural or hsalthful, but it is prevented from
leaving it as fast as usual hence double
set of causes of death are in operation. A
man may drink enough brandy or other
spirits in few hours. or even minutes, to
bring on fatal attack of apoplexy.

"JOking Going on Here!"

Old Uncle Jimmy, as he was called. al
ways took leading part as one of the
congregation, and sometimes the "beys"
thought he interested himself little more
than was necessary about their affairs and
dOings, for he was always lectuling some
one about their "morals," and exposing
their bad deeds to the public. SO they
(''the bOys'') concluded they would break
him of this habit.
The schooIhouse in which the services
were conducted was arranged in the old
style, the seats running round the sides
OF the room. Now, Uncle Jimmy had one
particular seat, which he always claimed
and occupied during services.
Now for the plan of attack, which was
thus: A small hole was made through the
seat, and common darning-needle fast
ened to wooden spring under the seat,
to which was attached string running
round the entire room parallel with The
seat; the string was fastened to the spring
so that when it was pulled in certain
direction it would cause the needle to pass
up through the seat. and whoever happen
ed TO be on il would receive the full benefit
of the situation.
Well, the time came for the trial the
boys We're all there early. At last. Uncle
Jimmy came in and dropped into his ac
custOmed seat. No sooner had he touched.

The Strength of Timber.

THE strength of piece of timber de-
pends upon the part of the tree from
which it is taken. Up to a certain age,
the heart of the tree is the best; after that
period, it begins to fail gradually. Inc
worst part of the tree Is the sap-weod,
which is next the bark. 1t is softer than
the other parts of the wood, and is liable
to premature decay. The deleterlous
component Of the sap-wOOd Is aosOrDed'
if the tree is allowed to grow for longer
period. and In time the old sap-wOod be-
comes proper timber-fiber similar to heart
wood. Hence, the goodness Of a tree, for
timber purposes, depends on the age at
which the tree was cut down. When
young, the heart-wood is the best at ma
turity, with the exception of the sap
wood, the trunk is equally good through
out; and, when the tree Is allowed TO
grow too long, the heart-wood is the f1rst
to show symptoms of weakness, and de-
teriorates gradually.
The best timber is secured by telling
the tree at the age of maturity, which de-
ponds on its nature as well as on the soil
and climate. The ash, beech, elm. and fir,
are generally considered at their best
when of 20 or so years. growth. and the
oak is seldom at it's best in less time than
100 years, but much depends on surround
ing circumstances. AS rule, trees
should not be cut before arriving at ma
turity, because there is then too much
sap-wOOd, and the durability of the tim
Der is much inferior to that of trees felled
after they have arrived at their full de-
velOpment.-Poputar Science Monthly.

How Much will Keep q Horse.

A horse weighing from ten to twelve
hundred pounds will eat about six tons
of hay, or its equivalent, in a year. And
we suppose the real point to get at is,
whether one can keep his horse cheaper
on some other product than hay. This is
an exceedingly difficult question to an
swer-it depends so much on circumstan-
ces. We shall not attempt to answer it
fully at this time, but will merely say
that. in our opinion, three and half tons
of corn stalks and two and half tons of
corn would keep horse year in fully as
good condition as six tons Of good hay.
We may estimate, also, that it will take
three and half tons of oat straw, and
two and half tons of oats 20 keep a
horse year. A bushel of oats weighs
thirty-twO pounds, so that it will take
over l5J bushels and three and a half tons
of straw to keep horse year. 1t would
take about two acres of good land to pro.

Hints to Owners Of Watches.

A WATCH is 4 most delicate machine
and very little thing is enough to dam
age its system, and make it go too fast or
TOO slow, or TO arrest the motion OF its
wheels, and it is Just that very little thing
that you don't take any notice of. Show
us your watch. and Wen tell you what
are the habits of its owner.
a person of irregular habits will spoil
the best watch in the world. Careless and
inexact people will always have watches
that go fast or slow-or that 60 both too
fast and too S'"''- ~ -'..r. 'r YOU cant
be steady anG ..a- .abitS, y0u
need not expe tu .t.. ... 1at you
can rely on.
All the bcs wa-clu...r. . 81 world
will be unat.c 10 give your watch that
regularity which is lacking in yourself,
and which you cannot, therefore. preserve
in your watch. and which you destroy as
fast As the watch is regulated. For a
watch should be wound up every day at
the same hour. and as soon as possible in
the morning. And the best occasion for
doing this is when the mnute-hand marks
seven or ten minutes after the hour-hand
has marked the hour.
The operation of winding up watch
should never be performed carelessly or
roughly: but, on the contrary, with great
precaution. especially at the moment when
you give the final turn to the key. Then
you should gently moderate the move
ment. so as not to wind the watch up too
tight.
You should always take good care to fit
the key perfectly into the key-hole before
commencing.
1t is not a good plan TO carry
about with you. unless it is kept in,
and never carry it loose in your p0,
as it is liable to get dust into il, which
will introduce into the watch, from time
to time, in winding it up, to its great
detriment.
Never, under any circumstances but
those of extreme necessity, open the in
terror compartment-that which contains
the machinery of the watch.
In winding up the watch, the hand
which holds it should remain perfectly
steady and without motion.
The hands may be advaHced or set back.
when necessary, without any harm bcns
done to the watch, although contrary 10
the popular notion on the subject.
The difference of temperature. or the
habit which some have of carrying the
watch about the person for a period, and
again leaving it mOtiOnlesS for a great
length of time on some piece of furniture,
may cause slight irreglllarity in the best
watch.
Whether the hands are advanced or set
back, we should never touch the rcgula-
tor. as long as the defect is tritling.
The crystal case of the watch should
never be opened, except by the watch
maker.
by keeping these rules in minc, and
putting them in practice. people would
have less trouble with their watches, and
far less need of the services of a watch
maker -ErcHnnoe
