The Cause of Snoring.

This is not for you, because you never snore. No ole ever docs snore himselt. It is always the otber fellou But you can read iiI.s and then tel that guilty other fellow how to breat himself of his bad habit. for snoriI- is merely bad habit and as suet can be overcome. 1t is caused pr marily by improper breathing that js breathing through the mouth inStCs6 of through the nostri!s so, first of all. care should be taken drring waking hours to breathe correctly. The hab.t once formed of keeping the mouth as firmly closed as possible, he will be less likely to sleep with it open, Then zee that your troublesome snorcr has a proper pillow. He should sleep with his head as flat as possible, for if lis head is pushed forward and the neck bent the tongue drops back agains' the soft pal;}te and forms an obstru
 tlon which makes all the unmusca, sounds we hear when the air is forceG past it.-St. ,lnmes' Gazette.

Imitation of Ebony.

There are two processes, says th. Carriage Monthly, in use in the imita tion of ebony. Take fine grained piece of wood, use French black poi ish, made black with fine coloring mat ter or good air drying black varnisi may be applied. This, however give only a superficial coloring, and whe. the edges wear off the light coloreu wood shows. The other method is t. wash three or four times any dens, wood with a boiling concoction of log wood, allowing it to dry between eaci application. Then wash with a solli tion of acetate of iron, which is made by dissolving iron filings in vinega, This stain is very black and penetrate> into the wood so that ordinary weai and chipping will not show the origina color.

Instinct In Plants.

Climbing plants have two opposing methods of describing spiral growth The plants that turn to the right in the northern hemisphere reverse this trend ill the southern hemisphere. and therefore, for the sake of consistency 1t may be preferable to describe tue two kinds of spiral tendency as re- spectively "clockwise" and "countel clockwise' which latter can be short ened to "counterwise.' The honey suckle and the hop turn "clockwise, 2 while the conyolyulus and the scarlet runner bean tWine ''countcrwiee."
