Facts Convenient to Know.

The following facts are we'll worth re-
Numbering, as they will save great deal
of calculation and give approximately ac-
curate results with minimum la5or:
A cord of stone, bushels of lime and
cubic yard of sand will lay 100 cubic feet of
wall.
Five courses of brick will lay / foot in
height on chimney. Nine bricks in
course will make hue s inches wide and
Is inches long.
Eight bushels of good lime, 16 bushels
of sand and bushel of hair will make
enough mortar to plaster 100 square yards.
One fifth more siding and flooring is
needed than the number of square feet to
be covered, because of the lap in siding
and matching of the floor.
One thousand lsths will cover 70 yards
of surface, and IL pounds of lath nails will
nail them on.
One thousand shingles laid inches to
the weather will cover 100 square feet Of
surface, and pounds of single nails will
fasten them on.

Don't Use Big Words.

IL promrlgating your esoteric cogita-
tons, or articulating superficial sentiment
talities and philosophical or psychological
observations, beware of platitudinious pom
derosity. Let your conversation possess a
clarified conciseness. contacted compre-
hensibleness, coalescent consistency and a
concatenated cogency. Eschew all con.
glomerations of hatulent garrulity, iejune
babblement and asinine affectatioIs. Let
your extemporaneous descantings and I'M
premeditated expatiations have intelligibili-
ty-and veracious vivacity, without rhodo-
montade or thrasonical bombast. Sedu-
lousy avoid all pc syllable profanity,
pompous prolixity, psittaceous vacuity,
ventriloduial qerbosity and vaniloquent
vapidity. Shun double entendres, prurient
jocosity and pestiferous profanity, obscur-
ant or apparent. In other words talk
plainly, naturally, sensibly, truthfully,
purely. And don't use big words.

HOUSE AND FARM.
Short Notes For Farmers.

Canadian correspondent of the Michi-
gan Farmer, who had considerable exoe-
renee IN the grazing of polled cattle and
shorthorns in the mother country, says
the ground needed to keep ten Shorthorns
would suffice for twelve Aberdeens of the
same age.
To make whitewash to kill chicken
mites in poultry house, dissolve few
quarts of lime in hot water. and when Of
proper consistency and cool, add a half
pound of flour of sulphur, and stir well.
Then apply the wash with brush as usual.
BY adding few handfuls Of salt, the lime
can be made to adhere more firmly to the
boards and timbers.
The effolts at forest restoration in Min
nesota as yet bears small proportion to the
destruction annually Witnessed there. The
official record Of the surveyor general shows
that the log and lumber business of the St.
Croix valley in 1880, included l, 103. SAG
logs, measuring 2g7, 043, 1870 feet; that 1885,
SOC, los feet were sawed, 1887, $3.50 feet
manufactured. 1874, 700 laths made, &c.
405.75 shingles, and 127, 075 pickets. The
infants of Arbor Day will be slow in max
ing good the loss of the monarcus of the
pnerles.
A writer in the Boston journal recon-
mends the pine for the house panelling,
and says "the white pine work in the grand
old houses of revolutionary times is kind
Of finish that is growing quite popular and
fashionable" He adds that "the dark
woods, black walnut, mahogany, etc, ore
getting out of vogue" The leason of this,
no doubt, is that it is more and more diff
cult to obtain them as the years advance,
owing to the late wide demand.
The recipe for curing meat given by the
editor of the Germantown Telegraph is SC

In pruning currant bushes, says Mr.
Buckle of Ottawa, Canada, they should bt
kept moderately open; the red and white
bear best on two and three year-old wood
never on one-year- old; and for this reason
few suckers should be allowed to grow ny
each year, and the four-year old stems
should be removed with the knife. A stoo
of six bearing stems with three sucker
would be about the correct thing for mod
ell plant, but circumstances will frequentl
remodel the idea in all bush and tree cul
ture.

Scientific Sterilization.

An ancient and remarkable clock has
been recently set up in the reading room
of the municipal library of Rouen. A sin
gle winding keeps it running fJr fourteen
months and some odd days. 1t was con-
structed in 1882, underwent alterations in
1916, was bought by Rouen for 1000 francs
in 1886, has recently been repaired and
just set going.
The Glasgow Herald says thai, in the
opinion of an old sea captain, the presence
of an iceberg is rarely indicated by the
thermometer. He has never observed a
difference on this account of more than
three degrees. Safety, he thinks, lies only
in sharp lookout.
When the earth in which plant grows is
much warmer than the air the plant grows
very thick, ceases almost altogether to in
crease in height, and finally shows deep
transverse riffs which make further growth
an imposibiity. These effects were pro-
duced by Nj. Prillieux. who used la,ge
dish of earth, in which he planted the
seeds, and kept the earth 10 degrees warmer
than the moist air of the chamber.
Monster steam engines seem to be one
Of the features of the day. The Centenni-
al engine, in Machinery hall at Philade]-
phia, was considered monster in power.
It is rated at 50O-horse power. They are
now putting up 2.000-horse power engine
for the Providence water works. These are
very large for stationary engines. But en-
gines of much larger power have long been
in use in ocean steamers. There are now
several transatlantic steamers which develop
from 4, 200 to 5000 horse power; but the mail
Cunard steamer service will develop 1000

A Few Fashion Notes.

Feather headdresses are adopted by fash
ionable matrons.
Red plush bonnets adorned with flaming
red feathers, held by large, old-fashloued
paste bucklers, are the choice of few ec-
centric ladies.
Gloves, no matter how long, that button
up the ar u are no longer considered in best
style. Two or three buttons at the wrist are
only allowable. The remain ser Of the
glove is in solid piece fitting closely over
the arm.
Under Jackets made OF what is called
chamois leather are now very much worn
by ladies. They are made TO fit tightly 20
the body so as 10 be worn beneath the dress.
The sleeves are long, and the body extends
short distance below the waist. They are
said to be very comfortable to the wearer,
and for out door wear are almost equal in
warmth to an ordinary cloth sacque.
Contrasts of color are very attractive in
some OF the new costumes; for instance,
Worth trims very dark blue satin with brown
plush most effectively, or he makes suit
of green velvet with brown fur beaver or
other fur trimming. Coats or basJues that
are TO be worn with black or ot1e1 dark
colored skirts OF satin or of velvet are made
of rich tapestries and of embossed Surahs
with gold colored ground, on which the
raised woven figures are of black plush of
heavy pile. Very dark red plush or olive
green coats are also used for this purpose,
and are made short and single breasted.

A Lady i'm the Matter.

That az oman's wit is often superior to
mans wisdom" was .copvincingly proved
in circumstance that occurred in this
city recently. It appears that Mr.. Ludwig
Schwarzler, q widely known Grocer on
Station Road, suffered with very painful
rheumatic headache to such degree, that
he was obliged to seek the aid of physi-
clan. All medicines he used were of no
avail. This induced Mrs. Schwarzler to
buy st. Jacobs Oil. She procured bottle
for her husband. With the second appEi-
cation he found relief. The pain left him,
and he is as wellas ever again. A remedy
acting as promptly as this certainly deserves
