The Registered Letter Business.

On the first of January tue postmaa-
ter general reduced the rate Tor regis
tered letters from fifteen cents and the
regular postage to eight cents and the
postage. Since hat time the business
has increased over one hundred per
cent, the average increase in large
cities being from fifty to sev nty.fve
per cent. The present rates compare
very ~favorably With those of England,
although there are many difficulties in
this country not to be met with in the
smaller and more thickly populated
countries of the Old World. The last
annual reports show that in Canada
the loss in registered letters and pack
ages was liz, in Great Britain 20, and
in the United States 400. If the in
crease of business continue through
out the year, five million registered
letters will be sent, against two and a
half millions last year.

IT WAS an ancient custom of the Spar
tans, in order to inculcato among their
youth an adherence of intemperance
and its kindred vices, to mike their
slaves drunk with wine in the public
market places, SO that the rising gener-
alton, upon whom would some day de-
volve the honor and safety of the Lace
demonian Republic, might see before
them all the CHASTITY details of the
drunkald's disgrace, his loss of reason,
and Of physical strength. "Twere well,
perhaps, to-day, could some of our
young men contemplate a similar in
structive lesson drawn from the life,
showing them, by a sharply drawn con-
trast, the advantages and true lowell
ness of ~abstinence and virtue.
For such as appreciate these, Vinegar
Bitters'is the beverage best adapted, it

the man by making signs upon s.fingers
that he wanted to look through the place.
The man also made signs which Jones could
not comprehend. Then Jones made other
and more elaborate motions, which set the
man at work with great violence, and for the
next ten minutes they stood in the hall gesti-
culating and twisting their fingers, without
being able to comprehend what the other
meant Finally Jones became angry, and in
an outburst of wrath exclaimed
ooh, get out, you idiot I'm tired of
bothering with you.'

The MAN WHO Or Nxs.--The man who
drinks not only injuries himself and family,
but IL an injury to all those with whom he
comes in contact in the way Of business. II
he is doctor he endan ,ers the life of his
patient, if q lawyer he fails to do his duty to
his client, and II a laborcr he wrongs and in
lures his employers by getting under the in
huence Of liquor, and thus incapacitating HIM
self for properly performing his labor. Any
man in business, who has employed a number
OF workmen, knows how inconyenient it is. to
say nothing of the pecuniary loss and disap.
pointment OF customers to have man on whom
he is depending to perform certain piece of
work, turn up drunk, and consequently un-
trust worthy, In the midst Of rush of busi-
ness. In this way hundreds suffer from tho
use of intoxicants who personally never in
dulge hi their usc Thus it is that a man who
is steady and faithful to his employment,
Whatever that may be, even though not SO
competent in other respects, is more desira-
BILE man to his employer than he who, by tho
use of Intoxicating drinks, renders himself I'M
reliable ; and the former win find employ
ment and prosper while tie latter Is always
liable to be without business.

cent edition of it at enormous expense, which
was not to contain single error. All thought
that heshad succeeded t; but when the book
was printed an error was discovered in some
of the copies by ono of the letters of the word
turit~no being displaced by some accident
while working the sheets. The same expert
ment was made by famous firm in Glasgow.
Every precaution was taken to insure typo
graphical accuracy Six experienced proof
readers were employed, who devoted many
hours to each page and when they had COM
pleted 1t, it was posted up in the Hall of the
University with it notice Offering a reward
of fifty pounds to any person who discovered
an error. Each page was thus posted for two
weeks before it went to press. No error was
discovered but when the work was printed
several errors were detected, one of which
was in the first line of the first page.

REASONS WHY In COOKING.

Why does boiling fast render meat hard !?
Because the excessive action Of the heat
causes the albumen of the meat TO set solid,
crisps mp the fleshy tlbers, and prevents heat
having gradual access to the Interior
Why, when good soup or broth is required,
should the meat be put into cold waters
Because, as the heat is developed very
gradually, there occurs an intermixture
between the juices of the flesh and the ex-
ternal matter The soluble and savory parts
of the meat escape and enrich the soup
Why are stews generally healthful and d.
gestible ?
Because, being compounds of various sub
stances, they contain all the elements of
nutrition, and as the office of tho stomach is
to liquify solid food before digesting it, the
previous stewing assists the stomach in this
particular.
What causes the cracking noise when lard
is put into frying-pana
Lard always contains some portion of
water, and it is the expansion of this water
into steam, forcing its way through the fat
which causes the cracking noise. The heat
at which oil or fat bois is much greater than
the water. When the cracking ceases, the
water has been driven off from the fat and
when the fat begins to boil or bubble, its heat
will be very high.
Why in frying fish should the fat or oil be
made very hot before the fish are put in?
Because, if the temperature is low when
fish is put into the frying pan, it becomes
sodden in the steam formed by its water !; but
If the oil be very much heated, the water will
be at once driven of, and the fish nicely
Drowned.
Why should fish or meat that is being fried
be frequently turned?
Because the turning assists the evaporation
of the water. When the fish or meat is allow
ed to lie too long, steam is generated under
it, and the substance becomes sodden and
the moment the steam is driven off the sur
face becomes burnt and broken
Why is broiled meat so juicy and savoryp
Because, the action of the fire, hardening
its surface, seals up the pores through which
the juice might escape. 1t acts in the same
way that the sudden dip into boiling water
does upon the joints of the meat, but more
effectually. To turn broiling meat, never use
fork, but longs fork opens an escape for
the juice, and wastes the best part of the
meat.
Why is cabbage rendered more wholesome
and nutritious by being boiled in two waters /?
Because according to Dr. Paris,) cabbages
contain an essential OIL which is apt to pro-
duce bad effects and he recommends that
! they should be boiled in two successive waters,
| till they are soft and digestible.

MILITARY DISCIPLINE. General Mackenzie,

A short time after that the general had been
at short distance from Chatham to pay a
visit, and returning in the evening, in blue
coat claimed entrance at the garden-gate.
The sentinel demanded the countersign. which
the general not knowing, desired the officer
OF the guard to be sent for, who proved to be
the lieutenant whom the general had treated
SO eavalierly.
Who are you9" inquired the officer.

ply.

The General made his retreat, but tie next
day, inviting the young officer to break fast,
he told him che had done his duty with very
commendable exactness."

MIND your ENGLISH.

In common talk we use great many vul-
earisms which could as well be avoided as
not. and the error of which should always be
pointed out to the young men who are form
ing their language The Methodist sensibly
SAYS Children should learn to speak cor
rectly while they are children, for it will be
hard to correct wrong habits when they be-
come older. Many persons who have a smat-
terine of French and even of Latin, too, are
known to make bad builders in their English,
because they never learned correct themselves
when they were young.
The other day little girl asked, "Will you
90 to-morrer?" The answer was, dunno"
How much better to pronounce the words cor
rectly, and say Tomorrow and don't know
Never say sech fine apples, bnt such fine ap-
pies. Jest as lire is another improper express
sion. You should say, just as Hef. And do
not say, aint. There is no such word as
amt in the English language. You should
say, I'm not, or 1t ISN'T.
Iheard boy say, :" never saw seeh fggers "
That was very bad pronunciation. Another
said, 81 can boiler louder than YOU" but a
bright little fellow replied, 81 don't think |
can heller at all, though can holto" SO as to
be heard quarter of a mile"
Now, children, try hard to speak properly,
and never use such words as these To-mor-
rer Dunno, Sech, Amt, Holler, Figgers.
There is one mistake that almost everybody
makes in saying, He don't" 1t is well
enough to say ~ don't" or "they don't .
but in the third person singular you should
say che dosent.'
