Inaugurate.

1t may seem p%aradoXical to assert
that hasty writer's say "inaugurate" in
stead of "begin" because they are hasty
The short word seems at first sight to
take up less room and to waste less time
in writing than the long zone. But, after
due thought, we have reached the con-
clusion that long words attract weak
and pre-Occupied minds by a force not
unlike that of gravitation. The spirit
reaches them, or they reach it, more
quickly in inverse ratio to the square
of the number of ~syllablcs. How other
wise can we explain the sesquipedalian
words which men use when they speak
in publicg Possibly, too, the long
Latinized words have another advan-
tage. The mind of the speaker or the
ready writer can run on a little in adj
vance while "inaugurate" is being said
or written. The misuse of the word
may have had its origin in the mere
vanity Of penny-a-liners; but there are
no good reasons why senseless takers
and silly scribes should cleave to their be
loved "inaugurate ."-Saturddy Reriew.

Our Wonen physicians ought to hunt
through the British Army records back
ward from 1865, aud got the material
for "a biography of DR.. James Barry.
eHe was an army surgeon for more than
nifty years. He was an inveterate
smoker. His temper was testy, causing
frequent breaches of army discipline
and, at one time, while stationed at Cape
of Good Hope, causing him to fight a
duel. He travelled in the service to
many distant localities, and won his
way TO high rank by persistent atten-
ton to his professional duties, and un-
usual skill and boldness as An operating
surgeon. At his death, in July, 1865 he
was at the head Of the list of inspectors
general of hospitals. The day after his
death a startling discovery was officially
announced. DR.. Barry was a woman.
His, or rather her sex, had never been
suspected, by even the most intimate
friends.

SCIENTIFIC.

on The Manufacture NJ Plaster CdSts.-
There are two little points which re
quire special care in casting plaster OF
Paris: one is greaslng the article TO be
moulded, and the other Is stirring up
the gypsum with water. For the first
purpose 1t does moi require a penetrat-
ing fat but one that remains on the sur
face and covers 1t. In making the
paste, water must not be poured upon
the plaster of Paris, but the latter must
be strewn In as loose condition as pos
sible upon the water until the plaster
reaches the surface Of the water, and
then quickly stirred together. The
substance employed to oil the mOulds is
prepared by adding some fatty oil,
generally lamp oil, to a solution o fsoap
in water; this is called "~slnear."
IL, for example, a rosette IL inches In
diameter is to be cast OH a 4 inch high
rim, the following method is employed.
The pattern made by the artist in gyp-
SUN must be repeatedly coated with
shellac solP a., 10 prevent, as much as
possible, 2 al from penetrating and
make it easier to separate the casting
from the model.
The wedge-shape pieces that are to
form the vertical part of the rosette are
cast first and are three in number, a
strip of clay being used TO form three
sides of the second flor a side of No. /
forms one side of No. p, and one side
of the third, for this Is bounded on two
sides by Nos. j and 2.
Each part of the mould must be var
nished aud creased or oiled before a
second part is cast in contact with it. 10
Insure separation when dry. The sur.
face of the model il again carefully oiled
aud a cast made OF the whole model
without taking away the side pieces,
but making afresh wall of clay close
about the model. TO preserve the ne.
cessary sharpness and avoid bubbles,
and bare places, the first layer of plaster
poured upon the model should be as
thin as possible, and a soft pencil be
employed TO remove bubbles aud bring
1t int contact with the edges and cavl-
ties. Thick plaster is next poured upon
this and finally the thick sediment can
be- scraped out upon the cast and
smoothed off. In a short time it a be
removed from the model, the side pieces
taken apart, and all carefully dried.
Before making a cast from this mould
the separate parts are placed together,
after oiling, backed up and adjusted
with clay walls, etc.

SETTLING CoFFEE.-This can be done
without anything being put into the
coffee TO settle IL. IL only wants to be
known how to handle il. Put your
ground coffee into the cOffee-pOt, and
add cold water sufficient for use, If but
a few cups are wanted. Set on the stove
and let IL remain until the boiling point
Is reached, but In no case boil. This
requires some watering toward the last.
1T is better to set 1t off a few minutes
before boiling than have 1t boil up. I'M
medlately when set of stir the surface
with a spoon. This car be done two or
three times in as many minutes. Then
let II rest. In about ten minutes time
1t will all be sunk to the bottom and fit
to pour out. Where more than a few
cups are wanted, more water (hOt) may
be added when the cOffee-pot is removed
from the stove, or hot water may be
used to dilute the coffee when il is
poured out, as is sometime done with
tea. Ia this way your coffee is clear
and sparkling and what is of equal i'm
portance, it will retain all its fine flavor
aud exhilarating properties, which, had
it been boiled, would have been thrown
off. Be particular in carrying u d.
rections to a letter. You will soon get
the chang" of IL, and thank us for the
directions, simple as they are.

CHowDER.--Fry brown several slices
of pork; cut each fish into five or six
pieces, flour, aud place a layer of them
in your pork fat; sprinkle on a little
pepper and salt; add cloves, mace and
sliced onions; if liked lay on bits of the
fried pork and crackers soaked in cold

the fish, turn on just water enough to
cover them. After stewing abouttwenty
minutes, take up the fish, and mix two
t~easpoonfuls of flour with a little water,
and stir it into the gravy, adding a little

A HOUSEHOLD FRUIT DRYER. - A
Michigan man has invented a fruit
evaporator, which is a simple addition
to the household stove. The dryer is a
long tin pan, which may be from three
to six, eight or ten feet long, as may
suit the convenience of the room in
which is the kitchen stove: in width 1t
Is made so that it covers one end of the
surface top of an ordinary cook stove,
as it rests on and operates by the heat
of the stove. The machine may be kept
at work all the time the cooking or bak-
ing is going on, as it occupies but two
holes. This long tin pan, as it may be
named, has a tight compartment or
chamber, which is partly filled with
water, and on the top surface of this
compartment is placed the fruit or
vegetables prepared for drying. The
hot water and steam In the lower com
partment dries the fruit, without danger
of burning or crlsping. A peck or a
half busllel of fruit may be dried In
from one to two hours. The fruit when
dried and packed is then in perfect con
dition to put away beyond the reach of
files or anything that will injure it.

PLANTING TREE SEED. - Farmers
would generally find the growing of
certain trees profitable. as locusts for
fence posts, a thousand perhaps to the
acre. Locust seeds may be planted in
the spring. If put into the ground In
the spring, they must be scalded be-
fore planting, TO soften the shells which
are so hard that but few will grow IN
less hot water is poured on them. The
frost cracks them if left in the ground
all winter. All trees of the kind we
have mentioned may be grown in beds
In the garden, but as they throw out
such strong tap. roots and so few lateral
rootlets, it Is best TO plant the seeds
where they are wanted to grow. If
sowed in a bed they should be dug up
when one year old and reset, the tap
root being cut off to cause them to throw
out roots nearer the surface. The locust
seeds require but a thin covering. The
yellow locust is the best variety; as
they grow up they may be thinned out
for fence stakes. A set of locust fence
stakes will last a lifetime and so will
the posts. A nut grove on the farm
will go a long way towards making
home more attractive to the boys and
girls, and around it will cluster en-
dearing associations and memories
which will attach them to the home
stead.

PUTTING THE FARM IMPLEMENTS AWAY.
The time Tor using the various farm
implements is over for this season, and
every farmer should carefully clean,

this, for such care will make them last
two or three crop seasons longer, and
they will be in their places ready and
always in good condition for service.

the neglect OF these little details is what
annually entails heavy expenses in the
