The best writer Is he who can convey

he is to handle; this understood. his next
effort should De TO say what he has to say
in the fcwe>, possible words. We would
not have a single thought dwarfed by q
s.ingy use OF language but even this
would be better than to see it choLed out
Of existence by 4 superabundance of
words. Write TO the point, and when
you have reached it. stop. 1t requires
severe mental training to acquire that

CALIFoRNIA WoOD-CHoPPERs.-I
is in the logging-camps that a stran,
ger will he most interested on this
coast, for there he will see and feel the
bigness of the red.woods. A man in
Humboldt county got out Of one tree
lumber sufficient to build his house
and barn, and to fence in two acres
of ground. \ schooner was filled
with shingles made from a single tree.
One tree in Mendocino, whose re-
mains were shown to me, made a
mile of railroad ties. Trees fourteen
feet in diameter have been frequent
ly found and cut down; the saw-logs
are often split apart with wedges, be-
cause the entire mass is too large to
float in the small and narrow streams,
and | have often seen them blow Il
log apart with gunpowder. A tree
four feet in diameter is called under
sized in these woods, and so skilltul
are the wood-choppers that they can
make the largest giant of the forest
fall just where they want it, or, as
they say, drive a stake with a tree"
The choppers do not stand on the
ground, but on stages raised to such
a height as to enable the axe to
strike in where the tree attains its
fair and regular thickness; for the
red wood, like the sequoia, swells at
the base near the ground. The trees
prefer steep hillsides, and grow in an
rough and broken country,
and their great height makes it
necessary to fell them carefully, lest
they should, falling with such enor-
nous weight, break to pieces. This
happens, in spite Of every
precaution, and there is little doubt !

REDUCING BoNEs.-Mr. Potter
Warren of New Hampshire. at a re-
cent Agricultural Convention gave
the following easy and cheap formula
for reducing bones. If the farmer
will set aside a cask, in some con-
yenient place, for the reception Of
bones. and throw all that are found
on the farm into it, he will be likely
to find a collection at the end Of the
year that will prove valuable ad'
iunct 10 his manure heap. Place
them in a large kettle mixed with
ashes. and abont ono peck Of lime to
the barrel of bones. Cover with
water and boil. In twenty-iour hours
all the bones with the exception, per-
haps of the hard sbin-bones, will be
come 20 much softened as TO be eas'-
" pulverized by hand. They will
not be in particles of bone, but in a
pasty dondition, and in excellent
from to mix with muck, loan, or
ashes. BY boiling the shin-bones
ten or twelve hours longer, they will
also become soft.-PianGtion.

WINTER PIcNfCs.-A new form Of
entertainment is the "winter picnic"
II i NOT unlike the old-fashioned sur
prise party. but differs in this respect,
that the hostess is a consenting party,
and the gentlemen usually provide
the eatables. \ roomy hou is es-
sential; and 4 lady signifying her
willingness to receive" in this way,
she is expected to decorate it pro-
fusely with greenery, festooning the
walls, placing plants in pots, Christ
mas trees here and there, and flowers
everywhere, transforming it into a
bower of beauty. A committee OF
gentlemen send out the invitations,
and attend to the commissariat, one
sending hamper of game Cooked,
another a boiled ham, third fruit,
fourth biscuits, cakes, and the like,
until all the essentials Of banquet
are supplied. The guests set the ia

A PRETTY Prison SToRY.-A pris-
oner in the Missouri peniten:iary, too
weak to work, and who had the run
of the yard, one day asked the war
den if he could be allowed to cult
vate small corner Of the inclosure.
What do you want to raise !" Gu
cumbers, sir" Why, you can't raise
them here; the other prisoners would
steal them" Well, 90 ahead" said
the warden; "If any of your cucum-
bers are stolen, don't come TO me with
your complaints" "You will never
hear from me on that score, sir. =
The cucumbers were planted, water
ed. trained and cultivated, and an
immense crop was the result. As
fast, however, as the fruit ripened, it
disappeared, and the warden became
convicted that the owner sold them
for liquor, produce, or some other
contraband article. lie directed the
man to be watched, and finally he
was detected in the act Of carrying
his cucumbers to the hospital, and
giving them to the poor fellows who
in their sickness craved them. Not
one had been stolen.

FISH HA TCHING.-The Fish Com
missioners recently visited the Penn
svlvania Matching house, at Donegal,
in Lancaster county, for the first
time since its completion. They
were well pleased with the superior
facilities for propagating fish, as well
as with the operations OF the efficient
manager, Mr. John Crevcling, who
has thus far succeeded in carrying
out the design of the Commissioners.
Last week eleven thousand Calitor-
MIA salmon were taken out and plant
ed in different tributaries Of the
Susouehanna. Many more thous-
ands will be planted by the end OF
the month. The house now contains
about 10000 Speckled Brook Trout,
which will be put into the stream
during February. 100000 Lake
Trout eggs, from Lake Ontario, are
expected on the 10Th inst. and about
halt a million Buckport Salmon IN
February. At this rate OF propaga.
ting. our rivers and streams, will
soon be alive with the choicest 1arle
ties of fishes. Mr.. Creveling, the
vourg American fish culturist, de.
clarts that the hatchery can and vii
