out of fashion 1 for it is out of fashion.
We do not say that iioImhIv talks well
nowadays; hut we believe most of our
readers, in looking out for examples,
will find them among their elder
friends. The modern system of things
is against it. Our thinkers argue rather
rather than converse. In the common
talk of society we scarcely detect the
wish for accurate expression. The aim
is to hit upon the prevailing substitute
for it. We believe that Mrs. Malaprop's
sensible idea of a "nice derangement of

ment, however correctly rendenrd,
would sound pedantic to our young
icople; ami, indeed, as appropriate epi

than it used to lie. There are so many
other things pressing on time and atten

foreign languages may have much to

The Can of Lax. In response to
the inquiries of a correspondent, the
Countrg Gtutlemaa gives the following
directions fur the preparation of a law a
and keeping ft in order:
If the surface is rourh. there are two
ways for making it smooth and even.i
I he first is tj weaning up- tne wnoie
ground. Working and reworking until
fine and mellow, and re-seeding or re
torting. If the ground is re-seeded,
sow at the rate of at least two bushels
of grass seed per acre, and roll or
brash it ia. Bed-top, white clover and
Kentucky blue grass will give a good
green carpet. If re-tnrfed, make the
bare surface perfectly even and level ;
cut the turf from aa old evn pasture,
with straight edges, by means of a
stretched line, and then invert the
piece 3 or blocks on a broad b lard, aid
scrape the earth side perfectly even by
means of a sharp hoe. They will thg
form an even surface when laid, and
rolling will make tlie whole as smooth
as a floor. The s cond mode of making
an even surface, is to apply sand or
tinewandy loam to the surface, and
rake it level, by which it will till up all
hollows or depressions, and the grass
will grow through the sand. This is
well adapted to lawns which have bat
slight inequalities of surface. -
If the defect consists in the grass
being too tbin or sparse on the lawn,
the whole surface may be loosened with
a sharp steel take (or a fine sharp har
row on a larger scale), and grass seed
sown as already directed ; and its ger
mination and growth will be greatly
assisted if the whole surface is dressed
with a fine compost before sowing and
raking. In some instances, a better
seeding will be affected by breaking np
as already described.
If the lawn is defective from the
growth of coarse grass or weeds there
are two modes of treatment. One is to
pull up all the weeds immediately after
a long rain, when the ground is soft, or
to cut them out with a spud ; and the
other is to summer-tallow the whole
ground for one season, keepinethe sur
face stirred and clean all the time,
w hich will kill nearly all weeds This
is to be resorted to only in rase the
lawn U lull of weeds and in a rather
desperate condition to warrant it. .
To keep a laws in good condition,
applv a top dressing of some fertiliser
late in autumn, spreading it perfectly
even. Coarse manure is objectionable
for two reasons namely, its repulsive
character-all winter, whenever the
ground U bare of snow : and the liabil
ity to scatter foul seed in this way.
Iiut if nothing bettor -can be ha1, lie
careful to spread it perfectly even and
not leave it in lamps as w til as to rake
off all the fibrous material left on tte
ground, early in spiing. Finely pul
verized compost answers well or a com
post made of guano, or ot hen manure.
The latter may be undiluted, pro
vided it is in tine powder, or it may lie
made into a tine compost with road
dust. Ou some soils superphosphate
answers well ; ou others it has no ett'ee.
1 he mauiire or compost may be ap
plied iu autuiuu ; the more concent rated
fertilizers early in the spring.
The surface having been already
made perfectly even, will require no
more rolling than is given to it by the
lawn mow eis When the whole lawn
is not more than an acre or so, it may
kept cut short in perfect condition by
means of a baud machine, ana at
tridiug exoense. In early summer,
when the grass grows rapidly, it should
lie cut as often as every hve days
later iu the season, not so often. This
will enable you always to "tread on
velvet.".

a pretty safe opinion as to whether

some special marks which help to de

when it is so easy to determine the
question definitely by planting a few
kernels it is not w ise to run even a

less important degree the same is true
of garden seeds We strongly advise
taking a few seeds of each kind to

warm room and watered as needed. In
a few days the plants will appear, and

The I'm nf the Hand at an Oflical
Instrument. Dr. F.Thomas, of IThrdorf,
observes that, although artists are well
aware of the advantages of monocular
vision and the use.of the band as an im
promptu stereoscope for the inspection
of pictures, the public generally knows
nothing of them. Any one whs care
fully watched the crowds that daily
thronged the avenues of the late Vienna
Exhibition might have seen how very,
very few persons amongst them ever
availed .themselves of this ready re
source.
And yet, how ditTerent Is the appear
ance of a really good picture thus seen
and the same viewed in the ordinary
way by binocular vision ! Kegarding it
with a single eye through the hollow of
the hand as through a stereoscope, we
get a relief, a .substance, wuivh other
wise U more or less wanting; in a word,
we get the third dimension, dep.h
which Is indispensable to realistic eflect.
Xor is the method applicable to the
contents of picture gal leries alone ; every
photograph, every engraving and print,
of correct design, may be Dcneticially
treated in the same way. As with the
stereoscope, so with its impromptu sub
stitute,' we get increased local length,
and with it the several artistic advan
tages thence accruing. Ou the other
baud, defects iu draw iug are ruthlessly
exposed by the same means. Trifling
errors in persiiective, which might have
passed unnoticed 'under" ordinary cir
cumstances, stand revealed in their full
deformity.
With juster perceptions of the magni
tude and relative dimensions of objects,
monocular vision, combined wiih the
stereoscopic use of the band, gives us
also, a correcter appreciation of the
effects of reflected light. And this
applies not only to the confused appear
ance oocasioiu-d by the intcrpbitiOu of
highly reflective media between the
object ami the oliserver, but also to
artificial reproductions of the same
effect.
A point Ignored iu every treatise to
which l'r. Ihomas has had access is the
effect of the hand, w hen thus used, in
r odifying or correcting our jierceptious
i." color. The rays of the setting suii
a-e flooding the Lindscaiss with golden
light. Prominent iu the distance stands
forth a church tower lighte 1 np with a
rich orange glow. Bv regarding it at
tentively through the hollow of the
hand, and o)ciiingaud closing the latter
suitably, the tower can lie made to
assume auy intermediate tint lietwee .
the white it really is and the orauge
it has assumed in the raysof the weste.ru
sun. The w oods, too, dark, somber and
night-like to the unaided vision in like
manner can be made to resume the hues
they wore iu the broad light of noonday.
A bright patch on the far distance show s
a soft sulslued white, anil we notice
then for the first time that to the unas
sisted eye it presents a bright golden
color." '
. Indeed, our conceptions of color are
mainly dependent on i).npariso,i con
trast. " But these are quite inadequate
to enable us, under all circumstances, to
detect and discriminate between minor
differences id shade by ordi nary unaided
binocu'. r vision. For that puriose, we
must have recourse to the hollow of the
hand, looking through it at the object
w ith one eye, and comparing the ell'ect
oliserved with that produced on the
other and unshadud eye, liuth eyes
may be oten. . : '
in such cases, the chief xiiit is not
monoci'lar vision, but the shading of
the eye by the hand thus applied. As
w ith a Xicol's prism, w e thus restore
the equilibrium of the blue light dif

derive a new interest from the discus
sion aroused by the publication of the
famous diary of the Shah of Persia, re
cording the events of his Journey to
Englaud. The London Timrt, in re

that here and there the diary is
"touched up," and, in order to endorse
such a belief, puts forward doubts of the
familiarity of the Shah with objects
like the carpenter's tools of Peter the
Ureat, or the boots and writiug materials
of Frederick the Great, or with the
history of Clysses and Telenwn-hus. To
this view, the able student A. Vainbery
