THE UPAS. TREE.-A careful in
vestigation has revealed the fact that
the Upas- tree is perfectly harmless,
and that the destructive power is
due alone to fumes OF sulphate and
carbonic acid gas, coming from vol
canic oplnings in the region.
There is 4 famous "Valley of
Poison at the foot Of the volcano
Papandaging, in Java, where scien.
tific travellers have found q great
number OF dead animals OF various
kinds, as dogs, cats, tigers, rhinoce.
roses, squirrels, birds, and snakes
The soft parts Of the animals, as the
skin, the muscles, and hair and fcath-
ers, are preserved, while the bones
crumble and disappear. No living
thing is found in the vicinity save the
Upas-trce, and it is not surprising
that superstitious notions OF its
malarious power should have been
wide spread. The true cause Of
death in this case IN very obvious, as
there are many crevices and openings
in the side OF the mountains, from
which carbon,c acid gas and sui
phurous fumes are emitted in great
quantities. 1t was by such emissions
that the elder Pliny and his compan-
ions were snffocated, at the time of
the destruction OF Hcrculancum.

ARABIAN BRIDAL ToILETs.--An
English lady has gwen some Account
Of lite in the Eastern harems. Here
is something about the toilet OF a
bride:-"On subsequent and perse
v>rng inquiry among Arab ladies, l
found out how it was that the bride 8
face looked so lustrous. l learn that
girls are prepared for marriage with
very great deal Of ceremony.
There are women who make the
bcautitying of brides their especial
profession. A widow woman, nam.
cd Angeline, is the chief a,t,ste IN
this department Of art in Haita. She
uses her scissors and tweezers
freely and skilltul to remove super.
tiuous hair, and trains the eyebrows
to an arched line, periecting 1t with
black pigments. She prepares an
adhesive plaster of very strong sweet
gum, and applies it by degrees all
over the body, letting 1t remain on
for minute or more; then she tears
1t off quickly, and brings away with
it all the soft down or hair, leaving
the skin quite bare, with an unnatu-
raj bright and polished appearance,
much admired by the Orientals.
When women have just submitted
to this process, they look trightful,
If, from time to time they do not re-
peat il; for the hair never grows go
soft and tihc again. Perhaps this Is
one Of the reasons why aged Arab
women, who have quite gwen up all
these arts OF adornment, look SO hag-
card and witch-like. In some in
stances this ordeal slightly irritates
the skin, and perfumed sesame or
olive oil is applied, or cooling lotions
of elder flower water are used.

M. NJ. H. writes from Indiana:
"Please give me a DESCRIPTION of the
Thin Rind Hog. Also your opin-
ion of its profitableness."- will
people get up next? All the good
breeds OF pigs have thin skins; small
bone, and little offal such as the
Suffolk, Berkshire, Essex, and York
shire, and there can be but one opin-
ion as to their profitableness. Hogs
in their wild state, and those that are
worried with dogs and are otherwise
exposed TO rough treatment, need
tough, thick skins; but a pound of
such hide requires as much food to
produce it as two or three pounds of
nice, juicy ham-and this, because a
skin to become tough and thick must
be formed and reformed, and formed
again several times; ard each time a
certain amount Of food is required

Charles l. having granted to certain
parties the exclusive privilege Of
manufacturing paper, that commodi
