 Somehow the .SnH IS becoming a reg ular intelligence office. People write asking questions of all kinds, and de- manding opinions of the editor, just as 1 though he was an encyclopedia, or a di- rectory, or cook book, or an almanac. Half oi the questions asked are improper to answer in a family newspaper, a quar- ter of the questions are too deep for the editor and he shirks out of answering them some way, so as not to expose his ignorance, and the other quarter of the questions are such that he can give ad- vice which does not cost cent, and he gives it with reckless prodigality. The last question comes from a young fellow who IS clerk Tn bank, and he says:
 get about twenty dollars week, and could live very comfortably if it was not for the demands of courtesy. do not like to drink, except occasionally to take d glass of beer, and as for smoking had rather take brIar root pipe and smoke in my room.
