Verbal Snares.

The popularity of Peter Piper's cele-
brated peck of picked peppers will
probably never wane as a snare to
catch the tongue that would fain be
agile; but that test has formidable
rivals. The following short sentences,
as their authors maintain, do wonders
in battling the ordinary power OF
speech:
Gaze on the gay gray brigade.
The sea ceaseth, and it sufficeth us.
Say, should such a shapely sash
shabby stitches show?
Strange strategic statistics.
Give Grimes Jim's gilt gig-whip.
Sarah, in a shawl, shoveled soft snow

Discount.

1t used to be the custom, and is now
in many localities, to beat down" in
all trades with storekeepers and mer-
chants. An amusing example of this
practice is given below:
In the old haggling way of trade it
was customary To demand a great deal
more than the asker hoped TO get. One
time, on the Texas frontier, a man
came into camp riding on an old mule.
"How much for the mule" asked q
bystander.
Just hundred dollars" answered
the rider.
III give you five dollars, said the
otlier.
The rider stopped short, as if in
amazement. and slowly dismounted.
Stranger" said he, 81 amt a-going
to let little matter of ninety-five dol
lars stand between me and a mule
trade. The mules yourn."
Another story, somewhat of the same
sort, is related of an old tenant farmer
who, on paying his rent, told his land
lord that he wanted some timber TO
build house, and would be much
obliged if he would give him permits
sion to cut down what would answer
for the purpose.
"No said the landlord, sharply.
well. then, sir, the farmer went on,
"will you give me enough to build a
barn."
MOI
ITO make gate, then?"
"Yes."
That's all / wanted" said the far
mer," and more than l expected"

A DELIGHTFUL RECREATION,
L Popular Scientific Amusement fol
the YOnng Folks.


the YOnng Folks.
"When a youngster," says Mr.. w.
Mattieu Williams, NJ amused myself
by making saturated solutions of
alum in hot water, placing cinders,
etc, in these, and setting them aside
to cool. The cinders became coated
with beautiful crystals, add appeared
like choice miaeral specimens. Bas.
kets and other devices in covered
wire were similarly coated. Sugar
was crystalized, beautiful crystals of
sulphur, made by slowly evaporating
a solution of sulphur in bisulphide of
carbon, and another form of sulphur
crystals by fusing sulphur in crucible
or gallipot. breaking the crust which
FIRST forms on cooling, and then pitch
ing out the liquid. A nest of beauti-
full crystals remains. refer to these
crudi,ies in order to suggest that
crystal making should be re,nstated
as popular scientific recreation.
"The alums, which are so numerous
and so varied in color, would alone
afford material for a little museum !;
but the amateur availing himself of
the achievements Of modern chemistry
would find the field Of recreation to
be practically boundless, and the pur.
suit both elegant and instructive.
Among novelties are the iso morpheus
double chlorides OF alkslies, iron, and
OF the alkaline earth metals, such as
chromium, aluminium, magnesium,
heryilinm ETC. Their colors are mag
niGcent; some Of them are described
by DE-. Neuma"n as crystallizing in
splendid oetahedrons, resembling
large diamonds, and rejecting light
with similar briIliancy. They are
chemically first cousins to the alums
referred to above. From these the
ambitious amateur might proceed to
artificial gems, some of which, now
within the reach OF chemical skill,
are quite equal to the natural speci-
