Advice to Bachvi.ors Be sure to annex
a woman that will lift you up instead of
- pushing you down. In mercantile phrase,
get a piece of calico (At tvill tcash. There is
. nothing in a pinch like a feminine who can
cook your "vililea" and iron your clothes.

A facetious boy asked one of his playmates
why a hardware dealer was like a bootma

Good Advice. An old author quaintly
remarks: Avoid argument with ladies. In
spinning yarns among silks and satins, a man
is sure to be worstedand twisted. And when
a man it worsted and twisted, he may con
eider himself wound up.

Anothre Griat Tree in California.
At a late meeting of the Boston Natural His
tory Society, Dr. Ayres furnished the follow
ing items derived from Dr. Bigelow, of San
Francisco, relative lo another huge tree in
that region. The tree lie on the ground,
having fallen many years since. From Ihe
bate lo the point where it it broken off, it it
found to be three hundred and ten feet; all
beyond thit ' was burned, probably by Ihe
Indians, but fragments lie Mattered along to
the distance of hundred and fifty feet, and
from the size of these fragments, Dr. Bigelow
feels confident thai -the tree must have been
five hundred feet high. At the base It is, by
computation, one hundred and ten feet in cir
cumference, at the end of the three hundred
and leu feet, it is by measurement, forty feet
in circumference. .This is almost as much
beyond, in size, the great tree which has nt
traded so much notice as that is beyond trees
of common size. Dr. Abbott remarked that
Dr. Pickering has teen trees in California as
remarkable for their slenderness as well as
height. He had seen one three hundred and
ten feet high, measuring only nine feet in
diameter at the base, and at the broken ex
tremity only nine inches.
. A New Wat to Make Tea and Coffee
In the refreshment department of the Sy
denham Crystal Palace is introduced a mode
of making coiTee and lea by hydrostatic pres
sure. , It it the invention of M. I.oysel, a
French chemist. . In the preparation of lea
hit great discovery it a very simple one, and
one of which every housewife may avail her
self.' M. Loysel says that he hat discovered
that by grinding the lea in the same manner
ascollee, belore Infusion, Ihe quantity of ex
hilirating fluid obtained is nearly doubled.
The experiment it a very simple one, and
may be safely recommended to all connois
seurs in Ibe preparation of 'ihe cup that
cheers but not inebriates." Having, say
our London authority, had an opportunity of
testing the tea and coffee as prepared by M-
Loysel' apparatus, we can vouch for the
delicacy of flavor and limpidity of both. The
strength did not strike us as satisfactory, but
thul is a matter of taMe, and of course is in
fluenced by very simple governing circum
stance. Russian Annexation A Liverpool paper
says: "Within little more than half a centu
ry, R-jssia has advanced her frontier, townrds
Berlin, Vienna and Paris 700"mile ; towards
Constantinople 500; towards Stockholm 630 J
id towards Teheran 1000."

Dear Sir: I received more titan a yenr ad
a copy of "Reed, s Pleaders' Assiatant" improved
by Judge Jordifri and others, t examined it with
some care soon afterwards, and have had occa
sion to use it several times since. I think it de
cidedly valuable as a inanuel for practising
attorneys mFcnnyfvanla, afiJ do riot hesitate
to recommend it. If it were generally used it
would increase the accuracy of the profession in
matters which are often very carelessly done.
i am very truly yours, &e.,
