been long known and admired as the Manor House. Its
external appearance is uniform, and the interior posseves
more of family comfort than any of the modern residences
will pretend to. The bed rooms are numerous and very
airy; the drawing rooms and dining parlours of excellent
proportions, each possessing A separate and varied view of
the grounds; and the secondary offices and domestic ar,

THE PLEASURE GROUNDS, EXTENDED LAWNS,

dation. They are clothed with an immense variety of
American and other rare plants, including the evergreen
oak, Portugal laurel, and cedar of Lebanon, fe altering to
the ground, and rendering it green and beautiful during
the unpropitious months of winter, besides a 6sh pond
and fountain in the centre. The disposition of these
grounds is in accordance with the best taste, even Repton

RED NOSES.—The &Bowing recipe "to
cure a red nose " is given in a little work published within
these few days, and entitled The Simplicity of Health :
" Put a strip of linen, folded and soaked in vinegar, tin 4ae
organ affected, when going to bed, and there suffer it to
remain till morning."
USE OF CAT'S WHisicEtts.--Every one has
observed the whiskers of a cat, but few, perhaps, drea.a
that they serve any valuable end. The following passage
will prove the contrary Every one must have observed
what are usually called the whiskers on a cat's upper lip.
The use of these in a state of nature is very important.
They are organs of touch. They are attached to a bed of
close glands under the skin ; and each of these long and
stiff hairs is connected with the nerves of the lip. The
slightest contact of these 'whiskers with any surrounding
object is thus felt most distinctly by ;,he animal, although
the hairs are themselves insensible. 'they stand out on
each side, in the lion, as well as in the common ao
that, from point to point, they are equal to the width of
the animal's body'. If we irrgiou, therefore, a lion steal-
ing through a covert of wood in an impigect light, we
shall at once see the use uf these long hairs. shay indi-
cate to him, through the nicest (aging, any obstacle which
may present itself to the passage of his body ; they prevent
the rustle of boughs and leaves, which would give warn-
ing tn his yrey, if he were to attempt to pass through too
close a hush; and thus,, in conjunction with the soft
cushions of his feet, and the fur upon which he treads,
(the retractile claws never coming in contact with the
ground;) they enable him to move towards his victim with
a stillness greater even than that of the snake, who creeps
along the grass, and is not perceived till he i® coiled round
his prey."—Library of Useful Knowledge,
