In building a fence around our young orchards, says the New Or leans Picayune,; several years ago we trigd many plans for preserving the posts. Having occasion to re move the fence this winter, we no ticed the condition of the posts as follows: Those set with no prep aration were decayed an inch or more in thickness; those coated with a thick wash of lime were better preserved, 1 but were quite seriously attacked by worms; those posts coated with hot tar \ were as perfectly sound as. when put in the ground; those painted with pe troleum and kerosene were equally as sound ‘and as good for setting. Let the posts get thoroughly dry, and then* with a pan of cheap ker osene and a. white wash brush, give the lower third = of the post, the part to go into ground, two or three applications of the oil, Jetting it soak in well each time. Posts so treated will ngt be, troubled by worms or- insects of any kind, but will resist to a remarkable de gree. This we find to be the simplest, easiest, cheapest and best method of preservation.

He stood before her with his weight resting easily on ope foot, his left elbow on the mantel-piece, his right arm behind him,, and his whole attitude one of careless, un studied ease and grace, acquired only by long and patient prac tice. “I know it is,” he repeated. “Measured by the ordinary stand ard, and by the cold conventional ities of society, it is indeed sud den.

Could we have known one another better, darling,” he went on, in his cultivated, B-flat baritone voice, “if we' had attended the theatre, the concert, the church and the oyster parlor together for a dozen seasons? Does not your heart beat respon sive to mine?” “I will not attempt to deny, Mr. Darnelle,” replied the young lady, a rich blush mantling her cheek and brow, “that your avowal moves me strangely.” «.It “I knew it—I felt it!” he re sponded eagerly. “Love me not the slow, vegetable-like growth of years.

' (- . r, ||EING members of the “WHOLESALE GROCERS’ NATIONAL Grown-up twins are a. curiosity, although over 100 pairs of them were born ; In Philadelyhia last year. The records show that the number of twins is exactly 222, which is a falling off as compared with the record of 1886, when 229 twins were born within the city limits. These figures indicate that Philadelphia is far behind in the twin race, says the Record, and that the state metropolis cannot hold a candle to the little village of North . Wales. One pair of twins to each 5,000 inhabitants is the best that this city has done, while North Wales has a record of six pail’s of twins born in eight months, and there are less than 1,000 residents in the village. Last year, in addition ; ,to the 225 twins born in the city, six triplets were born—three in February and three hr March. For somg, reason which the city records do hot attempt..to*explain, and which puzzles;tke doctors, the months of May and July are the most prolific twin months. In May of last year, 46 twins—23 pairs oStkem—made their appear ance, and in July 26 pairs were born. In May, 1886, there were 31 pairs of twins born, and in Ju- lv 22 pairs. “Twins are more apt to die than other babies; ” said a prominent physician,, “and triplets seldom grow to an adult age. This is one reason why grown-up twins are so seldom found, although twins are often born.” small ones occasionally observed being different in kind from the larger ones. The house fly does not bite or pierce the skin, but gathers its food by a comb or rake or brush-like tongue, with [which it is able to scrape [ the varnish from book covers, and thus it tickles the skiq of a person -upon whom it alights'to feed upon,,the perspiration. The fly is a scaven ger and is a vehicle by which con tagious diseases are spread. It poisons wounds, and £may - carry deadly virus from'deeaying'organ- ic matter into food.

Persons that' laugh in a broad Latin “A” are open-hearted, [honest people, fond of noisy jocundity, but perhaps of voluble mood. Excessive jerking laughter, however, i.3 ah evidence of vulgarity. Those laughing in a dry “A” are respectable, but little expansive, an<jl a hard lot of peo ple. When the latin “E” prevails, there prevails also a phlegmatic, melancholy temper. Timorous, unsteady people, also* those im T bned with malignity, laugh in a kind of swelling “I.” Laughter in “O” is the utterance jjof proud, bold, imperative, somewhat ban tering people. Beware of those that laugh in “oo” (h). They are traitors, haters, scorners. Recently there arrived in New York three large steamers laden with rice from Japan.
