How to Treat Books.


GAS good almost kill a man as kill good
book; who kills man kills reasonable
creature, Gods image; but he who destroys
good book kills reason itself" is saying Of
Millions and furnishes an admirable text for
those who do not know how to treat books
The same extravaganza logic might be used in
reference to the rough treatment of books
which are borrowed either from individuals
or the public Following are few rules for
the thoughtless reader:
Never make pencil mark on book which
is not your own.
Never turn down leaf
Never touch book except with fingers
scrupulously clean.
Never use it while eating a luncheon;
butter and crumbs will not agree with its
constitution.
Never throw 1t down when you have done
using it; many book has had its back
broken by such shock.
In short, regard the most shabby specimen
Of the bookmaker's art, when it belongs to
another, with the same consideration which
you would accord to choicely bound
volume of your own.

How to Crystalline Leaves and Flowers.

In crystallizing leaves, twigs flowers,
chestnut burs and other similar articles,
Golden Days advises an observance of the
following directions: Make hot, saturated
solution of alum by boiling in an iron kettle
water to which is added as much alum as
the liquid will hold in solution. An excess
is indicated by the settling of the alum at
the bottom of the kettle. Suspend the leaves
or other material in this solution for few
seconds, and then hang up to dry When
this process is accomplished they will be COW
cred with brilliant crystals. Repeat the dip
ping to insure a thicker coating.

Reckoning Counterfeit Notes.

| The holders of 500 franc notes of the
Bank of France have been badly fright
ened by the discovery that number of
! forged or counterfeit notes of this denom-
ination have been put in circulation.
The difference between the estimation
in which paper money is held by the
people of France and those of the United
States is shown by the run made on the
Bank OF France in consequence of the
discovery. United States legal tender
notes and national bank notes of various
denominations have been counterfeited
to some extent, but no one ever heard of
run on the treasury or on any particu-
lar bank from this cause. In two days
the Bank of France cashed $4,000 notes
OF the counterfeited denomination, and
of these only one proved to be counter
felt. The whole number Of counterfeits
discovered was about seventy.
The French government, as it had the
legal right to do in order to allay the ex-
element and stop the run on the bank,
required the latter to cash all notes pre-
sented, whether counterfeit or not. The
justice of this requirement is founded on
the principle that the bank, exercising
the privilege Of issuing notes, should
either print them in a manner rendering
1t impossible to counterfeit them, or bear
the loss that successful counterfeits inflict
on an unsuspecting public. In this mat
ter the bank and the public are equally
innocent Of the crime, but it is maxim
of law that where the loss must fall upon
one or two innocent parties, it should
fall on the one by whom the loss was
rendered possible. The bank by exercis-
ing the privilege Of issuing notes-which
privilege is for its acknowledgements it
possible to impose on the public by coun.
terfeiting the notes, and should therefore
bear the loss. This principle is too much
lost sight of in this country.-Journal Of
Banking.

s9- The question whether one-eye, two
eye, three-e eye, or half pieces or whole po-
tatoes for seed should be used is a condi-
tional one. In a very rich soil two-eye
pieces might give the best crop; in a poor
soil larger pieces would perhaps yield bet
ter. Some varieties of potatoes are weak
ly growers and would be helped by the
larger seed. Others are rank growers and
small seed pieces would serve as we'll or
better. This problem is best solved by
each planter, as the condition of the soil
differs with the locality.

DO FORESTS INFLUENCE RAINFALL?-
The belief very generally exists that the
culture of forests induces an increase of
rainfall and that their destruction dimin-
ishes it. Mr.. Henry Gannett, in Science,
claims that a satisfactory explanation of

been offered. He goes further, anil as
sumes that results gained in our W coun-
try 90 to show "that the influence of for
ests upon rainfall, from an economic point
of view, is too slight to be of the least
practical importance"

ton that was prescribed ~sgratis,' but 1t contained too
much alcohol and aggravated my s%ufferings. I then

How MUCH PORK FRO A BUsHEL OF
CORN 1.-The question, how much pork
may be made from a bushel of corn ? is an
important one, but it has never been an
swered beyond all controversy. In most
cases recorded as tests of the matter the
corn was fed in a mixed state, with roots,
potatoes, ETC., all of which make it diff
cult to arrive at a definite conclusion.
Thomas I. Edge, Cheshire county, Pa,
was credited some years ago with having
fed five pigs, of the same litter, five bush
els of shelled corn and receiving Az pounds
of pork, or 8 3-5 pounds from the bushel.
An experiment at North Chatham, n. y,
on record, gave q fraction of less thar II
pounds of pork from a bushel of corn.
Eleven. records, kept and recorded by f.
d. Coburn, of raw corn fed in the ear, gave
an average of over %lOpounds of pork from
one bushel of corn, fed in the ear and upon
the ground.
