Hard on the British Public.

Some one wrote recently to that prince
of grumblers, Mr.. Ruskin, suggesting
that the people who subscribe stock for
building railroads were acting so benev-
olently that they deserved recognition.
Whereupon Mr.. Ruskin replied with
more fOrcibleness than reverence: "My
correspondent knows perfectly well, in
his heart, that the benevolence' in
yolved in the construction of railways
amounts exactly to this much, and no
more that if the British public were
informed that engineers were now con-
fident, after their practice IN the Gents
and st. Gothard tunnels, that they
could make railway to hell, the British
public would instantly invest in the con-
Germ to any amount, and stop church
building all over the country, for fear
of diminishing dividends.

NJ. De Cherville gives the following
useful hints for deciding whether red
wines are artifcially colored or not ::
Pour into a glass small quantity of
the liquid you wish to test, and dissolve
bit of potash in it. If no sediment
forms, and if the wine assumes a
greenish hue, it has not been artifcially
colored if violet sediment forms the
wine has been colored with elder or
mulberries if the sediment is red, it
has been colored with beet root or Per-
nambuco wood if violet red, with log
wood ; if yellow, with phytolac berries !;
if violet blue, with privet berries; and

To AVOID WET FEET.-Here is an
other way to prevent water from getting
through shoes. The composition also
makes good harness dressing: Take
neatsfoot oil, one and one-half pints !;
beeswax, one ounce; spirits of turpen-
tine, four ounces; and stir until cold.
Spread and rub this composition
over the leather while it is damp !;
leather will absorb oil and grease better
when damp than when dry. For the
soles, take pine tar and rub it in before
the fire until the soles viii absorb nc
more. Three or four applications will
be needed. The durability of the soles
will be much increased.
