BououErs.-The following may be of in
terest to the ladies': When you receive bou-
quet sprinkle it lightly with fresh water then
put it in a vessel containing soap suds; this
will nutrify the stem and keep the flowers as
bright as new. Take the bouquet out of the
suds every morning and lay it sideways (the
stock entering frst) into clean water Keep
it there minute or two, then take it out and
sprinkle the flowers lightly by the hand with
water; replace it in the soap suds, and it will
bloom as fresh as when first gathered. The
soap suds need changing every three or four
days. By observing these rules bouquet
may be kept bright and beautiful for at least
month, and will last still longer in a very
passable state but the attention Of the fair crea
lures, as directed above, must be observed, or
all will perish.

ALWAYS BEAur1Fu1.-lAs festival par
ty, old and young, the question was asked,
(Which season Of life is most happy?' AT
ter being freely discussed by the guests, it was
referred for answer to the host, upon whom
was the burden of fourscore years. He asked
if they noticed a grove of trees before the
dwelling, and said: When the spring comes
with the sof tair, the buds are breaking on the
trees, and they are covered with blossoms, ]
think how beautiful is spring! And when
summer comes and covers the trees with its
heavy foliage, and singing birds are all among
the branches, I think, how beautiful is sum-
mer When autumn loads them with golden
fruit, and their leaves bear the gorgeous tint
of frost, think, how beautiful is autumn
And when it is sere winter, and there is Meth
er foliage nor fruit, then I look up,and through
the leafless branches, as could never until
now, I see the stars shine"

A SMART FooL.-About fortnight ago
man named John J. johnson, supposed to be
not much more than half witted, escaped from
the Kansas penitentiary. For three days he
remained in the immediate vicinity of the
prison endeavoring to gain access to his wife
and child, who were near. Being discovered,
he made his escape into an adjoining county.
There he stole a horse to get back to his fam
lily. This horse he sold and stole second,
which was captured from him. At the end
of seventeen days, hiding in the brush, he had
secured his wife and child, stolen three other
horses within few miles of the penitentiary
walls, and, mounting them, the three made
their escape. When last heard from he had
secured his liberty, suit of citizens clothes,
roll Of greenbacks, his family, and the means
of transportation; almost under the prison
walls, and in spite of the vigilance of active
and faithful officers. johnson ought hereaf
ter to be admitted to be exceedingly sharp
witted instead of half-witted.

STEEL COOKING UTENs1Ls.-Bessemer's
steel is recommended by Professor Winter for
cooking utensils. The material is not acted
on by the various agents which attack copper,
and thus, on the score Of health and safety, it
possesses special recommendations. Over
cast-iron for sauce-pans, &C., it will have the
further advantage that, as the vessels are SO
much thinner, great saving Of heating me-
terial will be effected. According to the Pro-
lessor the rolled seels Of steel may, by the aid
of lathe, be pressed into any required form,
and thus the vessel is constructed of one piece,
requiring no rivets or soldering. Various
household utensils have been made of this
steel by Russ, Of Gratz.

REVERSING THE CAsE.-Ladies used to
carry sun umbrellas of dark color outside,
with lining of white. The present fashion
directs them to be made with reversed colors
the white outside, the dark within. The
idea, probably, is two-fold-the white can
not fade, while not one complexion in dozen
is Of sufficient purity to endure the contact
with a white-lined parasol or sunshade.
The fall bonnets also we understand, are
entirely to revolutionize the present circus
ticket patterns, and milliners can live again.
For the last two seasons ladies who doubted
their ability to hem dolly, have been doing
successful duty as their own miliners. The
result has been that the profits Of the head
gear modistes have been comparatively small.

AN EXTINCT RAcE-One of the most re-
markable races that ever inhabited the earth
is now extinct. They were known as the
Gaunches, and were the aborigines of the
Canary Islands. In the sixteenth century
pestilence, slavery, and the cruelty of the
Spaniards succeeded in totally exterminating
them. They are described as having been
gigantic in stature, but Of a singularly mild
and gentle nature. Their food consisted Of
barley, wheat and goats milk /; and their ag-
riculturc was Of the rudest kind. They had
a religion which taught them of a future
state of rewards and punishment after death,
and of good and evil spirits. They re-
garded the volcano of Teneriffe as a punish
ment for the bad. The bodies of their dead
were carefully embalmed, and deposited in
catacombs, which still continue to be an OBJ
ject Of curiosity to those who visit the islands.
Their marriage rites were very solemn, and
before engaging in them, the brides were fat
tened on milk. At the present day these
strange people are totally extinct.
