CLOSING LINEs-Inquiry is frequently
made respecting the mode of putting a
gloss on linen collars and shirt -bosoms
like that on new linen. This gloss or en-
amel, as it is metimes called, Is produced
manly by friction with warm iron, and
may be put on linen by almost any person.
The linen to be glazed receives as much
strong starch as it is possible to charge it
with then it Is dried To each pound OF
stared. piece of sperm, parafine or white
wax, about the size Of walnut is usually
added When ready to be ironed, the
linen is laid upon the taLle and moistened
very slightly on the surface with clean
wet cloth 1t is then ironed the usual way
with a hatiIon, ana is then ready for the
CLOSING operation. For this purpose a
peculiar heavy fiat-iron, rounded at the
bottom, and polished as bright as mirror,
is used. 1t is pressed firmly upon the
linen and rubbed with much force, and this
frictional action puts on the gloss. " FL
bow grease is the principle secret con-
nected with the art of CLOSING linen.

There is chapter In the natural history
of animals that has hardly been touched
upcn As yet and that will be especially in
ters;ing with reference te families The
voices of animals have a family character
not to be mistaken. All the canid;e bark
and howl The fox, the wolf. the dog
have the same kind of utterance, though
on somewhat different pitch. All the
bears growl, from the wkite bear of the
Arctic SHOWS TO the small black bear OF
the Andes All the cats nIdu, from our
quiet fireside companions to the lions and
tigers and panthers of the forest and jun
gle. This last may seem strange assert
ion {; but to any one who has listened crit
icaly to their sounds and aualyzed their
voices, the roar Of the lyon is but a gigan-
tic uaiau, bearing about the same proper
ton TO that of the cat as Its stately and
majestic form does to the smaller, softer,
more peaceful aspect OF tire cat. Yet, not
withstanding the difference in their size,
who can look at the lion, whether in his
more sleepy mood, as he lies curled up in
the corner OF his cage, or in his fercer
moments OF hunger or rage, wIthou being
reminded OF cat. And this Is not merely
the resemblance OF one carnivoreus animal
to another; for no one was ever reminded
of a dag or a wolf by lyon. Again all
the horses and donkeys neigh for the
bray of the donkey is only harsher neigh,
pitched on a different key, it is true, but q
sound OF the same character, as the dom
KEY himself is but clumsy and dwarfish
horse. All the cows low, from the buffalo
roaming the prarie, the muskox OF the
Arctic ice-fields, or the jack of Asia, TO the
cattle feeding in our pastures. Among
the brdi this similarity of voices in fanii-
lies is still more marked. We need only
recall the harsh and noisy parrots, SO
similar in their utterance. Or take, as an
example, the web-footed family. Do not
all the geese and innumerable hosts OF
ducks quack? Does not every member OF
the crow family cav whether it be the
jacedaw, the jay, the magpie, the rook, in
some green rookery OIL the old world, or
the crow of our woods, with its long. mel
oncholy cav that seems to make the silence
and solitude deeper? Compare all the
sweet warblers of the songster family
the nightingales, the thrushes the mock
ng-birds the robns-they differ in the
grea ter or less perfection OF their note, butt
the same kind of voice Rms through the
whold group.-Agassds.

If it be true that history repeats itself,
the interest OF leaf from the history of
our revolutionary struggle is enchanced by
present passing events. Botta, in his His.
tory of the War of Independence Of the
United States, vol l, p. 23O, says:
Lord Dunmore proclaimed martial
law the effect Of which would have been
to suspend all civil authority in the pro-
vince. He exhorted tho loyalists to re-
pair to the royal standard, 10 retain in
their hands the contributions due to the
crown, as we'll as other taxes, until te re-
establishment Of peace Moreover he de-.
clared free all slayes or servants black or
white, provided they should take arms
and JOIN the roal standard This procla-
nation, and especially the clause concern
ing the slaves, proved that Lord Dunmore
was a man extremely deficient in prudence
and moderation, but produced none Of
the effects he had expected.
In the colonies, and even in all other
countries, universal cry arose against q
measure which tended to disturb society
in its very foundations, to destroy domes-
tic security, to engender mortal suspicious,
and to excite q race naturally ferOeious,
to vengeance and murder. In fact, this
step of the Governor was not merely USE
less-it was pernicious it irritated the
minds of the greater number, and gained
over none.
"Ths few negroes who were enlisted by
Lord Dunmore, and were pressed into
fight at Norfolk behaved very shablbly,
and saved themselves by flight

4 W onderful Invention.

In the Zollrerein Department. Of the
international Exhibition has just been
placed a wonderful piece OF mechanism,
only few days from Hanover All our
readers know the difficulty of awakening
early in order 10 catch a morning t!aiE
Here is a piece of mechanism which will
not only ring gentle alarm to rouse li.ht
sleeperS, but 1t will ut the same time strike
hight for lamp, and another to boil
cup of coffee. If the first alaruul be not
enough, a louder one will follow sufficient
Iy sonorous to awaken the dead Ifevan
this should prove insufficient, the mecha-
nism will, after a short interval, pull OF
the night-cap, if the sleeper wears one
and IN the almost impossible case Of "A
continued slumber after ali this, the ma
chine, as If disgusted at such lazino,s. viii
tilt the sleeper out on the floor. Ii fact,
the mechanism does everything almost
but shout the hour in the slsepers ear.
An extraordinary amount of ingenuity
has been expended upon this combination
OF clockwork, and springs, and lucifers,
and levers.
