Wood Staining.

A novel way of staining wood has
been introduced that has the merit of
simplicity and cheapness. The wood
having been carefully planed and fin
ished, it is given two thin coats of sizing.
This is prepared by adding to glue a
small quantity of albumen and alum.
When this is dry and hard, the design is
painted or stenciled upon the wood, the
intention being to produce a pattern, one
part of which shall be the natural color
of the wood, the stencil or the design
selectedrepresenting the white parts only.
For instance, if the finished WORK is to
show white figures on dark ground, the
white parts only must appear to the
stencil. When the sizing is dry the pat
tern is painted on in Canada balsam or
Brunswick black. When the balsam is
hard and dry the whole surface is washed
with sponge and warm water. This
will remove the sizing from all those
parts of the wood not protected by the
hard balsam, which resists the warm
water. When the wood is dry the ex-
posed parts are stained in imitation of
walnut or other dark woods. When the
staining is finished, the balsam is re-
moved by brushing it with turpentine,
leaving the pattern or design in the
natural color of the wood on the dark,
stained ground. The finished work is
said to resemble closely inlaid wood

The Use OF Oyster Shells.

Until recently oyster shells have been
used only for making lime. A few
years ago somebody discovered that the
shells made capital foundation for oys
ter beds, and within a year or two many
thousands of bushels have been used for
this purpose. The oysterman selects a
good spot for bed and simply dumps
the shells overheard. This is done in
July and August, during the spawning
season. The spawn attaches itself to the
she'll, and in two years the shell is COW
cred with oysters ranging from the size
of a silver quarter to that of half dol
lar. Then the oysters are big enough to
seed, and are planted as such. Some
times thirty or forty such oyster are
found attached to single she'll. The
shells are worth three cents per bushel
when thrown overheard, and at the end
of two years they are worth from fifty to
seventy-fve cents per bushel, making a
very good margin for profit. This
method of raising seed oysters is being
rapidly extended and number of steam.
ers have recently been built at New Ha-
ven, t., with special apparatus for trans
planting the Shells WASHINGTON Star.

Coaching Whist.

The Richfeld Springs correspondence
the Utica Observer says; "Col. Swoyer is
the originator of popular new form OF
entertainment for parties of two or more
riding in the cars or other vehicles or
walking. 1t is called coaching whist
and it is instructive to young people as
well as interesting to the old and young
as the meansof passing time easily on long
trips. When the party sits, its members
divide into sides. They observe and
count all the living things they meet and
each has value in game of $50 points.
For example, all four-footed animals,
with the exceptions noted, count 10 points
each; chickens and twO-footed creatures
each, a cat Is, cat in a door so, and a
pussy in a window $50 or game. Moth
ing in harness counts. An old lady
carrying folded umbrella counts 100,
and blind man led by dog 500 or two
games. This season Col. Swoyer's family
and their friends have not had an idle or
stupid moment on their trip. Miss Marie
being a favorite with the coachmen,
they have always played into her hands:
For example when driving along the road
if they came to number of chickens,
ducks, or geese, or cattle in the road,
they would skillfully direct their horses
50 that the count would be on Miss
Marie's side of the coach, and her score
leads all Others. Commander Clark, and
other gentlemen on the road to Otsego
Lake, wrote to their friends on the route
to have their cats prominently displayed
in the windows when they passed, as a
nice supper was depending on the result.
Col. Swoyer and others got an inkling of
the arrangement, and caused the ladies to
request change of seats in the Tally HO
Coach as particular favor. Of course,
the gentlemen were too gallant to refuse
the request, and the ladies soon won
sufficient number of games to secure
suppers for the season. Uninitiated people
who passed that way were surprised to
notice the large number of cats that were
found summing themselves in the windows
Of every other house that day."

The story Of how on his bridal trip
Edison suddenly left his wife for forty
eight hours, and, Immersed in some idea
that had suddenly occurred to him, be-
came oblivious of brides, honeymoons
and everything else" recalls one that is
told of the courtship of Sir Isaac Newton.
As he sat musing beside his beloved be-
fore the fireplace, one evening, he took
her hand as lover should. But what
did he do with it? Instead of warmly
pressing it, he raised it slowly, and with
its forefnger crowded down the tobacco
in his pipe. 1t must be terrible thing
for woman to have a scientific man for

A BRAVE RECRUIT.-Tom was a very good
boy, SHARP and intelligent, but had the repu-
tation of being coward. Almost anything
would excite his nerves or timidity. But he
got patriotic when the war began and entered
in the three mouths service. He was in the
ekirmishes on several occasions but was in no
regular battle. He behaved splendidly. and
almost blotted out the reputation he had at
home. The boys in his company had all con-
fidence in him. When Tom returned home he
knew more of the world than he did when he
left. Some of his old chums who did not go
to war edged around him to hear him talk.
"Boys, you may laugh and wink" said Tom,
"but you don't know what hard times is; you
couldn't spell it in less than three months. !"
"Tell us, Tom how it was" "Well, sir, for
. whole week at a time we had nothing but
hot biscuit, butter and chicken and all such
light diet as that to live on. It's no wonder
] am weaker" '.Well, Tom, how about the
hghting!' "I'll tell you; according to my
record. killed as many Of them as they did Of
