Nowadays a set of furs, of some kind, of
regarded as an almost indispensable portion is
a lady winter wardrobe. The Russian, Hud-
son Bay, and American Sable, or Mink, as it
Is usually called are the most desirable and
durable kinds, while the Ermine, Chinchilla.
and Siberian squirrel are much worn, and yery
pretty. Ermine, however, can not SO well be
worn, on all occasions, and is especially appro-
pirate for evening wear.
But animals of various kinds are made to
meet the universal demand for furs. The AS
trakhan fur or wool was used to some extent
last winter; and this year the a" "Persianer," a
wool obtained from sheep Of Persia, and which
is fine and glossy, is made into pelerines and
short jackets for skating, as well as into collars
and muffs.
It may not be generally known that an ami
NAL, whose name is usually discarded from po-
lite society, is beginning to occupy prominent
position in the export as well as internal trade
of the country Let not the readers shrink in
disgust, for the fact is that the traffic in the
skin of the much-abused skunk now amounts
to quite a handsome sum per year. Large
shipments have been recently made to Russia,
where these skins are used for the caps of
| grenadiers, while many are manufactured into
muffs in this country. But do not imagine
that a single nuff is sold under the name of
the original owner of the fur. BY no means.
In the first place. by the wonderful application
OF chemistry an entire metamorphosis takes
place, rendering it impossible to recognize any
of the original features of the skin not the
slightest Odor is perceptible, and then it is an.

AN EXAMPLE OF SUCCESS UNDER Difficult
IEs.-According to the general idea, a man
who has neither legs nor arms would be under
stood to be very helpless object, but he is not
necessarily so, as is proved in the case of Mr..
Kavanagh, who is set down as being returned
from Wexford as a member of the British
Parliament. In the places where other peo-
pie have legs and arms this gentleman has
mere fOrmless stumps, and yet he is said to be
a fine penman and good draughtsman; and
among his accomplishments it is set down that
he is an excellent shot and good yachtsman.
He appears to be man of considerable intel
lect and literary ability, as is manifested by
his book, entitled "The Cruise of the Eva. >
This book is illustrated by sketches made by
himself. When writing or drawing, he holds
the pen or pencil in his mouth, and guides il
by the stumps which stand in the place of his
arms We mention these facts to show what
may be done by persevering industry under
the most discouraging disadvantages; for this
gentleman has managed to accomplish, with.
out either arms or legs, great deal more than
many people have done who are fully fitted
with both.

GENERAL SHERMAN AND THE CUBANs.-
Whilst in Havana recently, it is announced
that General Sherman visited the American
Consul's office, and seeing large map of Gu

This caused the Cul ans who saw him to ex-
change significant looks and gestures and to
whisper to each, other, whilst they all came to
the conclusion that General Sherman, who was
merely looking at the route to Matanzas, in

MATRIMONIAL.-For the special benefit of
young men contemplating matrimony, We beg
to offer the following brief experience, in two
chapters:
Chapter l.-She stood beside the altar with
a wreath of orange buds upon her head-upon
her back the richest kind of duds. Her lover
stood beside her with white kids and dickey
cean,-t last was twenty-One years old, the
first was seventeen.
The parsons job was over-every one had
kissed the bride, and wished the young folks
happiness, and laughed, and danced, and cried
The last kiss had been given, the last word had
been said, and the happy pair had sinmered
down and sought the marriage bed.
Chapter 2.--She stood beside the wash-tub
with her red hands in the suds, and at her
slipshod feet there lay pile of dirty duds; her
husband stood beside her-the crossest man
alive-the last was twenty years old, the
first was twenty-five.
The heavy wash was over, the clothes hung
out to dry-and Tom had stuck his finger in
the dirty babys eye. Tom had been spanked
and supper made upon a crust of bread then
the bride and groom went grumbling to their
unhappy bed.

EYE-SIGHT. -Milton's blindness was the re-
suit of overwork and dyspepsia.
Multitudes Of men and women have made
their eyes weak for life by too free use Of the
light in reading small print, and doing fine
sewing. In view of these things, it is well to
observe the following rules in the use of the
eyes:
Avoid all sudden changes between light and
darkness.
Never begin to read, or write, or sew, for
several minutes after coming from darkness to
a bright light.
Never read by twilight, or moonlight, or on
very cloudy day.
Never read or sew directly in front of the
light, or window or door.
1t is better to have the light fall from above,
oblique over the right shoulder.
Never sleep 50 that on the first awaking the
eyes shall open on the light of window.
DO not use the eye-sight by light, SO scant
that it requires an effort to discriminate.
Too much light creates a glare, and pains
and confuseS the sight. The moment you are
sensible of an effort to distinguish, that mo-
ment cease, and take walk or ride
The moment you are instinctiveIy prompted
to rub your eyes, that moment stop using
them,

THE RAT NUISANCE. Catching rats is often
difficult, as old rats are proverbially cunning.
Laying around poison is dangerous not alone,
but also Objectionable, for the reason that rats
may die at inaccessible spots and contaminate
the atmosphere with the well-known detestable
odor. A better plan has been adopted by one
Of our correspondents, by which he takes ad-
vantage of the cunning habits Of the rats. lie

a notice Of curious object of art, a marble
flute. There exists but two marble flutes in
the world one Of which forms a part of the
collection Of Prince Demidoff, and the one un-

ist, Servais. They are both of modern manu-
tacture, and were made by marble-cutter of
Carrara, who could never obtain more than
two specimens This marble flute IS exsctly

the cylinder is more perfect, and the whiteness
Of the marble rivals that of the celebrated Par.

Music OF SOLOMONS' TEMPLE.-The olsen
tombing of Assyrian sculptures and the decl-
phering of AsSyrian and Egyptian inscriptions,
have opened new fields of investigation in al
most every department of knowledge. Among
the branches of science which have shared III
these discoveries, that of music has been bene-
fitted largely. The accounts of ancient musl-
cal instruments were vague, and our ideas, eS,
pecially of Hebrew music, were confused, till
recently sculptures and paintings have been
brought to light which delincate the musical
instruments Of the early Oriental nations, and
in a number of cases veritable specimens have
been disentombed. Such, for example is an
EGyptian harp found in Thebes, with its strings
vet perfect enough to vibrate again, afer a
silence of three thousand years
The more recent investigations prove that
the parent of all known musical science was
Assyria. From the Assyrians the Hebrews
and the Egyptians, and indeed all Eastern ma
tions, derived their knowledge of music. The
unveiled monuments show that i'll the time OF
Senacherib music was highly cultivated art,
and must have existed through generatlOns.-
This polished nation used harp oftwenty-One
strings the frame of which was four feet high,
which accompanied minstrel songs, or was
borne in the dance The Tyre Of tortoise shell,
the double pipe, the trumpet, drum and bell,
were common. Even of the bag pipe repre-
sentations have been discovered, though none
of stringed instruments like the viOlen played
with the bow
In all deIneations of social or worshipping
assemblies, musical instruments very like our
modern ones have a prominent place. The
Hebrew music, at the time Of the Exodus, was
purely Egyptian; but it was much modified
