She didn’t know chicken from turkey;
High Spanish and Greek she could fluently,
speak, '
But her knowledge of poultry was muskcy.
She could tell the great uncle of Moses.
. And the dates of the Wars of the Roses,
And the reasons of things—why the Indians
were rings
In their red alorigiral noses!
Why Shakespelire was wrong in his grammar,
And the meaning of Emerson‘s “Brahma;'
And she went chipping rocks with a little
black box .
And a small geological hammer !
8 it: had views upo'n co-education,
And the principal needs of the nation ;
And her glasses were blue; and the number
she knew
or the stars in each high constellation.
And she wrote in a handwriting clerky,
And she talked with an emphasis jerky,
And she paintgd on tiles in the sweetest of
styles;
But she didn’t know chicken from turkey l

'scillnnc MISCELLANY.
Most remarkable results have attended the
trials lately made in Paris with electricity as
’ a means of controlling vicious horses. The
application is 'made with a small electrical
apparatus which can be easily manipulated
by the driver. The reins are made with a_
conducting wire, which terminates at one
end in a bit and at the other end is connected
with the electrical apparatus. By turning a
crank a current is induced which, acting on
the mouth of the horse so surprises him that
he stops and remains passive. By another
instrument the electricity may be applied to
any portion of the horse’s body,and properly
used, unfailingly corrects the animale’s vi—
cious habits. With the wildest and most
intractable horses this system of “breaking”
has been employed with perfect success.
Sheet iron coated with the gum of the
euphorbia—abundant in the tropics—has
been taken from the dockyard at Chatham,.
Eng, after two years immersion, and found
quite clean and free from fouling and cor—
resion. The gum is very bitter, for which
reason, it is supposed, marine animals avoid
it. It is now being introduced as a coating
for vessels. _ .
The largest and most ingenious planetar-
ium ever made, has just been completed in
.London, by Signor N. Perini. This con-
tained in a construction fourteen feet in dis
ametcr and fourteen feet in height. . The
observor takes his position underneath, and
looking up finds himself beneath a represen-
tation of the “celestial vault," on which the
constellations are indicated and stars down
to the third magnitude are marked. Sus-
pended from the roof is the central globe, a
lamp representig the sun, which rotates on
its axis and is placed at the lower focus of
the ellipsis. Surrounding the central in-
minary are the planets, each suspended by a
small and almost invisible wire.‘ The orbits
described are a series of ellipses, with all
eccentricities and obliquities faithfully intro-
duced, the planets revolving according to
their relative approximate position, distances
and velocities. The earth has its diurnal ro-
tation, and the moon rev'olves around it in
its proper orbit. All the mechanicism' is in—
visible and noiseless. The motion continues
five hours and a half at one winding, and
can be stopped and started instantaneously.
The device is the result of five years of pati—
‘ cut and persistent labor.
‘ The organ in Luray cave, Va., is a curious
and Slugafising formation. It has fifty six
' ch of which on being struck emits
y' tuliar to itself. In some cases the
,. . ,. r emble the tones of a bell, and con-
. .sral seconds. It has been suggest-
.. that, if the tones were tested and the
pipes‘ marked to correspond, a musician
might readily produce almost any simple
tune upon the pipes. The largest continu-
ous stalactites are from thirty to fifty feet in
Tength.
By the following experiment, Prof. Tyn—
dale proves that contagious diseases are prop-
agated not by sewer ‘gas or efliuvia, but by
solid particles discharged into the atmos-
phere by currents of air or gas: A piece of
’ steak is cut up and steeped in water. It is
. then heated a_ little above the temperature of
the blood, and the liquid strained off. In a
short time this fluid becomes turbid, hnd
when examined through a microscope is
found to be swarming with living organisms.
These animalculae are destroyed by the ap-
plication of heat, and on filtering a perfectly
purcgliquid is obtained, which will remain
pure for an unlimited period if kept free
from dust; but if a fly dips its leg into fluid
enntuining living organisms and then into
the pure liquid,the whole would be swarming
with the microscopic crcrtures within forty-
. ight hours.
In arcccnt paper read before the London
( leographical Society, Mr. R. Mallet con.
:iders it not impossible that the first drops
uf water formed- on the cooling surface of our
globe may havé been Of the temperature of
molten iron.
The multiplication of standard time by
electricity is now organized at Paris on an
immense scale. A length of nearly fifty
thousand feet of tubes is placed alongside
the Eoulevards and the ,piincipal streets,
where a lame number of dials will mark the
time. For a small fee priyate clocks will be
kept in connection. _
A Russian ofllcer' has devised- a very sim-
ple but ingenious system of night signals on
board vessels. It consists in lighting the
smoke of chimneys by'means of reflectors.
The various colors of the light al‘einterpreted'
by an established signal code.
A correspondent of an English contem-
porary writes: “The following is a curious
instance of discrimination which I have ob--
served in my bullfinch. ‘ He is in the habit
of coming out of his cage in my room in the
morning. In this room there is a mirror
with a marble slab before it, and also a very.
cleverly-executed water color drawing of a
hen-bullfinch, life size. The first thing which
my bullfinch does on leaving his cage is to fly
to the picture (perching on a vase just be—
- low it), and pipe his tune in the most in-
sinuating manner accomplished with much
bowing to the hen-bullfinch. After having
duly paid his addresses to it, be generally
spend_some time on . the marble slab imfrorlt
of the looking-glass, but without showing the
slight-eat emotion at the sight of his own re-
flection, or honoring it with a song. Whether
this perfect coolness is due to the fact of the
reflection being that a male bird, or whether
(since he shows no inclination to fight the
reflected image) he is perfectly well aware
that he sees only himself, it is diflicult to
say." '
The discovery of uranium in California is
reported. This mineral is valued at $1,000
per ton, and has never before been found in
this country. It is much used in coloring
glass. ' I .
Experiments have just been made in England
with a new apparatus for the raising of sub-I
merged objects from the bottom of a lake or-
the sea. The apparatus consists of a noval
buoy. inside and at the bottom of the buoy is
a false bottom having an equal and centrally
inclined dip. This bottom makes two water
light chambers communicating with each
Other through a .valve let into the partition.
. The bug! is filled with water and sunk,when
' it may be attached to any object to berais—
cd. By means of an Indian rubber pipe air
is then forced into the buoy expelling the
water through the valve. The buoyancy
of the buoy being thus restored, it rises to
the surface, taking with it a. considerable
pr. .
‘day by the retarding of the earth’s rotation
weight. The experiments proved that this
process may be applied in any depth of water
and to raising of any weights.
,An apparent increase of the moon’s ve—‘
locity has been observed, which at first led
many to infer that its orbit is shortening and
that it will eventually fall to the earth. The
real cause, however, of this apparent increas-
éd motion seems to be the lengthening of car
through the influence of the tides.
Novel Dinner Decorations.
parlor some IDIOT—REAL swans m x mm-
u'maa Lana—mums AT 8100 men.
At a christening dinner recently in an up-
town residence, one feature was novel. In.
front of each, of the twelve guests at table
was a miniature model of the font in Grace
Church, with a Lilliputian cradle at its base.
The little font was made of wood covered
with silk, and delicately painted with all the
symbols, tracery, and even the delicate gold
letering about the rim—“Except a man be
born of water and of the spirit he cannot enter
into the kingdom of heaven"—-t'hat appears
Oil the original. Natural flowers filled the
fonts. On the front of each small "silken
cradle, wrought in fanciful gold letters amid
foliage and blossoms, appeared the name of
the baby, “Ethel,"‘and the date of her birth.
Attached to each cradle was a silken ribbon. ,
upon which was painted the 'name of One of
the guests. Af . dinner these pretty things
were carried 'off those before whom they
were placed as souvenirs of the occasion. The
cost of each was $25.
adornment is growing year by year. It is no
longer sufficient to dine and to wine one’s
friends. .It is necessary to surprise them and
delight their zethetic tastes, So the dinner
iver, as a ruler, no more pretends to be his
own artist than his own cook. ,
It is not sufhcult to achieve mere novelty.
That was attained in the barbaric magnifi-
cence of the bills of fare at ace‘rtain San '
Francisco dinner a year or more ago. They
were solid slabs of silver, which the guests
were expected to carry away with them, and
which were good to melt or pawn upon oc-
casion. But they would have.been just
as novel, if they had been of sole
leather or sandstone, and so far as value is
concerned the delicately painted things not
infrequently ordered for such occasions real-
ly cost more than did those specimens of
bonanza fruit. Artistic beauty is here a
consideration paramount to mere novelty.
A prominent member of the Coaching Club
of this city not long ago contemplated, giving
a dinner to his associates, and ordered for
the occasion twenty-four bills of fare. The
dinner was at the time postponed, but has
not been abandoned, for the gentleman
named has sent back from Europe word
that it may-be looked forward to as a thing
of the near future. The bills of fare have
been already finished. ‘ They are of Bristol
board, each about 20 by 15 inches in' size,
and are all handsome water color paintings
Each represents some memorable incident
in the individual career of some mcmbér, or”
an adventure of the club collectively,'und*
their~cost is estimated at $100 each. -
Last season a party of twentyladies and as
many gentlemen dined together prior to at-
tending a bal masque. From the chandelier
in the centre of‘ the dining roomdepended
twenty scarfs of glue grain ribbon, each
three and a half yards. long and nine inches
wide, heavily fringed, and richly adorned.at
both;ends with paintings of flowers and foil-
age. These scarfs were so arranged in can-
opy fashion that an end of each came down
to the place one of the ladies was to pccupy
at table, and care was taken in their selec-
tion to have colors harmonizing with the
complexions of the. ladies for whom they
were- severally‘intended, as shown by the
names painted in gold among .the flowers.
The gentlemen were supplied mith menus
painted-in water colors, upen which the
floral decorations correspond with those
upon the ladiesf scarfs. After dinner the
scarfs were‘worn to the balland retained
by the ladies as souvenirs. .The entire
cost was between six and seven hundred dol-
lars. '
For a breakfast, to be given before long,
which will he participated in almostgxclu-
sively by artists, Egyptian fashions are to
prevail—in everything except the viands.
The table service will be in Egyptian style
as well as the decorations, and each guest
will be supplied 'with a fan, delightfully ar-
tistic and Egyptian, but of very weak wind
compelling power. A number of them have
been already completed—strange looking
things, with long, thin,- polished maple han-
dles supporting semicircular forms, quilted
silk on one side and on the other sides in
colors, intricate in design and of great va-
riety. Half a dozen silk tassels dangle from
the straight side of each semi-circle. They
‘are quaintiand pretty,as $12 fans for asingle
breakfeast should be. .
Some little time ago, for a dinner at Del-
monico’s, an artificial lake was constructed
in the centre of a huge dining table, and
glrrouuded by aquatic plants. Several swans
brought down from Central Park for the
occasion, were set afloat in the little lake,
and swam around there with placid dignity
and decorum while the dinner lasted. The
entry into fashionable society prayed fatal to
one of the birds, however, for he died short-
ly after returning to the Park. Early this
season a dinner is to be gigen by a wealthy
bachelor fond of amateur theatricals,for whom
are to be supplied a score of menus. each of
which will hear an elaborately painted water
color picture, in each case an original design
illustrating a scene in one of Shakespeare's
plays.
At a dinner given last Easter the ladies
present were supplied with fans of silk, egg
shaped, bearing on one- side of each a paint—
ing of some bird, and care was taken to as
far as possible adapt the bird to the lady
who received it. Thus, one who had an
excellent soprano voice received a nightin.
gale, and another, who carols in up-tOwn
choir, was given a lark. Anotherlady-guest
got the gayestvfan cf the iot, the peacock ;
and another, who is noted for her domestic-
ity and modest, homely goodness, was the
recipient of the sober thrush. Each lady’s fan
bore her name painted on a broken egg shell
in the foreground of the picture. The‘ cost
of these fans was $24 each.
As to the “favors. for the German," to
which fancy runs wild every season, while
rivalling in cost the beautiful fans and courts
and menu of which mention has been made
they are mere Vanity Fair baubles of satin,
fringe, silk, ribbon, and what not upon some
unique and too often noisy basis._ There
was one German, last season, for instance',
at which each lady had. a tamborine of silk
kid, gaily decorated with flowers and_rib—
bons bearing the pate; and the gentlemen
blow in and produce cldritch skrecls upon.
There was another German at which the la-
dies' favors were castfinets ‘bedecked in most
original and costly style, while the gentle-
men’s were monster dog whistles of brass
tricked out with gay ribbons—New York
Sun.
Whisky in Pulmonery Diseases.
Dr. Henry Gibbons, sealer, of San Fran-
cisco, a physician of high standing and
long experience, in a recent article on hospi-
al and private practice in the Pacific Med-
ical and Surgeon Journal, referring to the
common use of liquor in pulmonary disease,
says: “The whisky treatment. of pulmo-
nary discase, both in hospitals and private
practice, I have observed with some degree.
of attention and interest fol-{many years.
But 1 do not hesitate to declaf'e‘that the cases

Celebrated Safes,
In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
attention tosome of theimportant advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made.
. lat. Our “-PATEN'I‘ Issmx BOLT. Wonk"
' consists in placing the bolts and locks on .the
. inside of the door (as shown in the cut above
where they are at all. times accessible, an
can be cleaned and kept in order, and thus
”- . prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the ‘outsi .plate of iron, being obvered
completer by e filling, consequently im-
possible to oil or clean them without digging
but the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing .the use of the Safe several da s. . As
the filling in our Safes is between 0 looks
and bolts'afid the outside plate of the door,
' in most cases we can unlock our safe: on the
combination after they have passed through a.
severefirc. which saves breakin them open.
' 2d. Out-"Tarn“ 11me AP" consists
of the back plate of the door being hung on
hinges, and fastened by a thumb-screwmhioh
enables one to have access to the locks and.
bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw.
3d. While other cafe-makers use three
ing the best four-wheel looks for bank safes),
we put on our FOUR—Winter. Lecxs on all
safes, from the smallest tovthe largest, and for
Icimplicity anddurabilityicunnot be excelled.
4th. All our Safes are-IRON-LINED moms,
;enables us to use the the greatest unlount of
avatar-in our £11111" 3 without dun or of the
Safe's being damp. :All corners o the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which. together
,with the veahard’rmturo’ of our filling, pres
fvcutc them ' m inj from falling, or fall-
hag walls or timbers. ' -Our Safes have man
, ‘ . NGES Instead of single or double as in
an, and are made with 'and without inside
3 rd. In the great Boston fire our-Safes had
the champion'record, as was fully proved at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and the great popular-
ity-our safes have attained throughout the
:cpuntry.
Sicompleie list of our Safes exposed,thosc that
filled. to preserve their contents, besides those
'tliathere successful, and for months, chal—
'l§nged our competitors to follow our example
which they‘wouldglot do, as they knew that
by so doing they would only assist usiii dem-
Ona'trating to the world the superiority of our
Safes, and Our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire so conclusively
raved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intenseheat, we behaved that we could im-
prove them, and we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thicknessof the walls,
added to the number of flanges, and strength-
ened. them in various ways, until; we now
manufacture a Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled for its excellence. It has been
our constant aim to make the altar Sara that
can be produced, behaving that, especially in
basing a safe to keep that which may
Ive cost a lifetime to accumulate, tLe best is
decidedly. the cheapest. In these dull . times
it is tho’cus'tomIofmuny safe—makers to mans
