PILOT SERVICE.
Auckland's pilot service is in rather
unsettled condition. An order was recent.
ly issued by the Harbor Board Diminishing
the present pilot staff, with a view to con.
tracing with some competent person for
the efficient performance of the service,
but the Board has found it impossible to
enforce its rule through refusal OF those
deemed competent to stand examination.
while others standing fail. The Board mas
also found it necessary to abandon it's in
tentIou OF abolishing compulsory pilOtage.

A DANGEROUS CIGAR-LIGHTER The
Scientific american calls attention to dan
serous "msgic cigar lighter" which is
now sold by street. hswkers, and is calcu.
lated to do much mischief. As every stu
dent knows, the affinity OF sodium for
oxygen is so great that 1t will take the
coveted element from water with such
Tapidity as TO cause it to burst into flame.
The new lighter is thin strip of sodium, 4
fragment OF which when placed upon the
end Of cigar and touched with water,
burns with great vehemence. Few of
those who buy the little vials Of lighters
are aware what walls Of wrath they may
turn out TO be if unskilIfully handled.

chance to come out. As the lighters are
boHght by the ignorant, who are taken by
the seeming miracle of producing fire by
the direct action of water, it is a wonder
that no serious accidents with them have
been reported. The traffic is not one to be
encouraged,

A CANADIAN CoURTsHIP,

A real romance occurred lately in hotel
in Montreal. In the hotel the road agent
of a respectable company boarded while in
the city. In the same hotel an American
young lady was domiciled. The lady was
pleasant and accomplished. The young
gentleman at first viewed the lady admir-
ing!y at distance, but too timid to ap-
proach. Day by day his interest grew
stronger. He had never spoken to her nor
she to him, and, so far as he was con-
cerned, this was what he most earnestly
desired she might do, In this dilemma he
applied to friend for advice. "Do you
eat at the same table? 2" asked the friend.
eyes," was the reply. "Then l would
advise you the next time you dine to ask
the lady to pass the salt" "All right, Z"
sighed the lovesick hero. The following
day he intended to put his friends advice
into operation, but was most delightfully."-
baked by the lady asking him "to please
pass the salt" From that moment the ice
was broken, till at last the lady asked for
the gent.eman's card, in order that she
might know whom she was conversing
with. The gentleman at once handed the
lady his business card. Matters then went
on smoothly, all the while the cou-
pie enjoying each others company
at concerts, operas, etc. At length this
state of matters was brought to crisis
The lady was about to return to the States
The lover was psrplexed and again applied
to his friend for advice, who at once ad-
vised him to pop the question and thus
settle anxiety. She was willing to become
one with him. TIE question then came,
when the happy day would be. She re-
piled "to-morrow. To this the gentle
man at first demurred, as he had certain
business matters to fix. She told him to
leave them alone and write to his employ
ers resigning his position and leave the rest
to her. He complied they were married
and went to the States, where the Canadian
gentleman learned that he had married a
young widow worth $3.50, GOO. In his hap.
piness be did not forget the friend who
advised him. He sent that gentleman a
check for s., 600, with letter OF thanks
for his kind advice in enabling him to be-
come rich and happy man, through the
possession of a handsome and loving
woman. The gentleman who rendered the
advice Felt dubious as to the reality of the
check, and did not present it at the bank
for some days. At last he put the matter
to the test, and vas informed the money
had been lying in the bank at his order for
a number of days. And so the romance
ended to the satisfaction of all persons in
terested.

INITIATING WALNUT Black birch, which
is rapidly coming in favor, is a close. grained
and very handsome wood, and can be easily
stained to represent walnut exactly. 1t is
just as easy to work, and is suitable for
nearly, if not all, the purposes to which
black walnut is at present applied. Birch
is much the same color as cherry, but the
latter wood is now very scarce, and conse-
quently dear. It is a difficult thing to OBJ
tain cherry at $50 thousand feet, while
birch wood can be had at any saw-mill at
81 per thousand feet. Wien properly
stained it is almost impossible to distin-
gu;sh the difference between it and walnut.
as it is susceptible of beautiful polish
equal to any wood now used in the manu-
facture Of furniture. IL the forests
throughout Ontario birch grows in album
dance, especially il the land is not too
DOGGY. There is great difference in the
wood of different sections. Where the
land is high and dry the wood is firm and
clear but if the land Is low and wet the
wood has tendency to be soft and of
blush color In all the nor shern regions
It can be found il great abundance, and as
the tree grows to such great size little
trouble IS experienced in procuring it in
large quantities.

Auckland's real estate is booming. Build
ing lots in the suburbs are selling at auc.
tion for double what they were considered
worth year ago. Auctioneers advertise
bands of music, free cars, free buses,
free hoats, free lunch, and when new
suburb is TO be located promise is made to
call the streets after the first purchasers of
lots. Enormous sums are spent in rural
newspapers Advertising and beautiful maps,
showing the locality OF lots for sale, greet
the eye at every turn. The following in
cident illustrates phase of the situation ::
An auctioneer contracted with the owner
of a few acres of marsh land, guaranteeing

owner was puzzled to see how the auc.

Carving.

1t is considered an accomplishment
for lady or gentleman to know how
to carve well at their own table.
1t is not proper to stand in carving.
The carving knife should be sharp and
thin.
To carve fowls (which should always
be placed breast uppermost,) place the
fork in the breast, and take off the
wings and legs without turning the
fowl; then cut the 'merry through"
cut slices from the breast bone, cut
the carcass III two; divide the Joint IN
the legs of turkey.
In carving a sirloin, cut thin slices
from the side next to you; it must be
put on the dish with the tenderloin
underneath; then turn it, and cut from
the tenderloin. Serve the guests to both
kinds.
In carving leg of mutton, or ham.
begin by cutting across the middle of
the bone.
Cut tongue across and not length
wise, and serve from the middle part.
Carve a fore quarter of lamb by
separating the shoulders from the ribs,
and then divide the ribs. Serve each to
piece of kidney and its fat. Carve
pork and mutton in the same way.
To carve tillet of veal, begin at the
top, and help to the stutfing with each
slice. In breast of veal, separate the
breast and brisket, and then take off
and serve them up, asking which part
is preferred.
In carving pig it is customary to di-
vide it, and take off the head before it
comes to the table, as, to many persons,
the head is revolving. Cut off the limbs,
and divide the ribs.
