If one hat achieved a new cottage, for example, let him take numerous week-end vacations from it. And let not an author ait down and read through lue own book the moment it comes from the hinder. A few more months will suffice to blur the meraorv of those imrroaa ble, nauseating foundry proof*. If he forbears?instead of being sickened bv the stuff, no gentle reader, I . - venture to predict, will be more keenly and delicately intrigued by the volume's vigor and subtleties. If you have just made your fortune, be sure, in the course of your continental wanderings, to take many a third-class carriage full wf wittv peasants, and stop at many an unpretentious inn "Of the White Hind," with bowered rose garden and howling green running down to the trout tilled river, and mine ample hostess herself to make and bring you the dish for which she ia fanions over half the countryside.

The making of maple sirup anil sugar in Canada in moat of the older and more settled parts is gradually on the wane, as most of the "augar hushes" give way to cu It irated* farms. From 1850 to 1890 the prodnctiou of maple sugar, together with its equivalent in sirup, increased year by year, hut since that time it has. steadily fallen. The industry is confined in Canada to Quebec, Ontario, Sew Brunswick, sn<| Nora Scotia. It is . estimated that this industry, repreHciiiing an anuual valuation of almost $2,000,000, is carried on bv about 55.000 growers. While many of these operate their larger of smaller wood lots preserved upon their good farms, a vastly larger number take their sap from rough and atonv areas that would have comparatively little value if the trees were removed. The increasing value of maple wood and the comparatively low price of maple sugar and sirup, due to unfair competition from cheap, adulterated products, has Jed in recent years to the removal of many fine sugar or chard* that had produced crops of deliciounncs* ymrlv for moot of a cent wry. QUITE SO. At a club frequented by doctors the discussion came up recently whether a person could lire without a brain.' During the discourse one of the doctors said: "When I was practising medicine in Indiaua a remarkable case came under my supervision. A man. while out hunting, had leaned upon his shotgun and the weajKui had gone off accidentally, making a large wound iu his head just above the ear. The brain was laid bare and in bringing the patient to the hospital a handful of the gray matter leaked out. fie was trepanned and dually recovered, hia mental faculties apparently as good as ever." "Your story ia interesting." interrupted an auditor, "hut it sounds to me somewhat inconsistent." "Why so?" questioned the narrator. "Because." auawored the other doctor.

WANDERINGS OF A WATCH* ~ tary Told aa Simple Truth la <8omawhat of a Strain an tha Moat CnaSutaua Mind. No writer of fiction could have invented a stranger story than that of the curious adventures of a watch, which Capt. George Xicbols, an ol<Jtiroe SsJrm shipmaster and mefcbant, used to tall as the literal tratjh. At Manila in 1803, says Captain Nichols. I employed a Mr. Kerr to aaaiat ma in my bnsinesz. Be took a great fancy to my watch, and proposed to give me his own watch with soma indigo to hoot in exchange fof it. We find fived upon a quintal and a half of indigo, worth then more than $1i?0 anrt f k-ent mv r-h.iin and seals. The indigo I sold for $130 more than the original coal of my watch. and besides, J got a watch that proved to be a better timepiece than mine had been. Some twelve years or uiore after this I was in company with Cant. William lender of Salem, when he took froin his pocket a gold watch. "That watch," said 1. "looks exactly like the one 1 sold to Mr. Kerr in Manila." "[ know the whole history of that watch," replied Mr. Lander. "I was in Manila after you left, wheu Mr. Kerr told me that he had sold your watch to a sea captain from New York or Philadelphia, and that in i passing Agulhan Bank, near the Cape | of (food Hope, the captain accidentally loat it overboard. Two or three day a after, as another vessel was passing the bank, one of the crew caught a ftsh. and on opening it found a gold watch. He carried the watch to Calcutta, and sold it to Captain Biackier of Marblehead. from whom I got it." This was Captain ljuider's story, and I have no doubt that the watch taken from fr.lu* fi?h whm s*m? that Mr. Kerr had from ma.? Youth's Companion. NO COIN l. Af. P.
