BABY FARuINa.-An excellent Act of
Parchment, framed for the better protec-
ton of infant life will come into operation
in Great Britain on the first Of November.
The Object of the new law is to guard

under one year. The local authority of
the place is to keep the register and may
ref,-e to register unless satisfied that the
place is suitable or the applicant Of good

JAPANESE DAYLIGHT Fireworks. -
TIE Yokohama Hrdj, de~cclbing re-
cent Japane<e festival, saws: The
sec md day was occ lpied with exhibitions
of the ingenious daylight fireworks, of
the manufacture OF which the japanese
appear to be the sole masters. As usual
these consisted mostly of bombs, which,
exploding nigh in the air, discharged
sometimes variously colored jets of
smoke, and sometimes costly folded
packages of wire aud paper, which I'M
folded themselves into parachutes of
great bulk and symmetrical design.
They were sometimes fish, which swarm.
ed leisurely through the atmosphere to
the ground; or snakes, which writhed
themselves away over the tree-tops or
great birds, that lowered kite.like and
motionless for an incredibly long time.
Occasionally they took the shape of cot
tages, temples, human beings, magpi-
fed crests Of daimios, trees and flowers
almost anything that lively imagina-
tion could suggest The smoke figures,
however, were the most amusing One
of the most frequently attempted was q
cuttletish, with body OF thick, fuligin
GUS black, and arms OF lighter hues. OF
course the illusion was very brief, the
wind not allowing the smoke to remain
undisturbed for more than few seconds
but while it lasted it was perfect"

THE DIAMOND Fever. A former resi-
dent OF Arizona, who is thorough,
familiar with the -c,lled diamond
+ gions, asserts that Arizona damon Is
are nothing more than peculiarly bril-
liant quartz crystals. OF these he has
repeatedly co | cited lrrie quantities,
for the amusement of the little ones
OF his acquaintauca, smpug whom he
has thus lavished inc llculable wealth
provided quartz crystals aud diam onds
are Synonymous. Even were the ex-
travagant stories OF the mineral wealth
Of Arizona to be literally true, it would
be madness for any one to attempt To
reach the diamond region except
in company with well-urmed and
abundantly provisioned caravan. The
country is completely barren, and
swarms with hostile savages. If any
man wishes to risk his health, and waste
his time, in digging for diamonds,
South Africa can be reached by him
much more easily than Arizona, and in
South Africa it is certain that diamonds
have been found, however few and far
between such lucky discoveries may
have been.

LUNATIo AsYLUMs PERSONAL LIB
FRrY.-The New York Ledger SAYS con-
siderable public discussion has recently
been INDUCED in concerning the faculty
with which persons OF sound mind. but
alleged to be insane, can be shut up in
lunatic asy huns and kept there despite
all their efforts TO get free. As proof
that these charges are groundless, the
manager Of lunatic asylum in this city
states Before a patient can enter the
asylum, il is necessary to obtain lunacy
warrant from a Justice of the Pace or a
Police Magistrate of New York City,
which can only he issued upon the evi.
dence Of two physicians. This, then,
is the only barrier between q man IN
New York City and lunatic asylum
Let any two physicians certify to a
man insanity, aud magistrate will
issue ''lunacy warrant" aud the victim
will be locked up with madmen and
kept from all communication with any
body EXCEPT these who procured his in
generation. When one remembers that
here are physicians in New York who
are among the basest villains of the age,
and that the warrants issued by magls'
trates are usually filled up by underlings
and signed by the Justice as a matter of
course, it is frightful to think what
abuses may be perpetrated in this matter
under the solemn forms OF law. A radi-
cal change is needed in this whole bust
ness. No man should be sent to a luna.
tic asylum on any private process what,
ever. Theapplication for commitment
should he ma lie in open court, after
reasonable notice to all the relatives on
both sides. aud also to the counsel of tue
alleged lunatlc. And if he has no couu-
sell then the court should assign him
one as in the case of criminals. The
personal liber5y of the citizen, especially
OF one who is not even accused of crime,
cannot be too carefully guarded.

Tur CATTLE DrsrAsr.-The owners of

The CATTLE DISEASE. The owners of
live stock in Australia are greatly excite
over the discovery that the foot and
mouth disease has made its appearance
among the cattle in that country. AL
though the disease is rarely fatal, the
fact that it renders animals unable to
travel for water or to seek food invests
it with an importance that it would not
elsewhere possess. 1t is foreseen that
il it should extend among the Australian
herds OF wild cattle, terrible ravages
must be expected, for as they cannot be
approached to be fed or watered great
numbers would certainly die OF thirst, if
not Of starvation. The Australian au-
thorities are taking the most vigorous
measures to stamp out the disease. The
farms on which the infected animals
we're found have been placed in qnar.
antine for six months, and commission
is engaged in the work OF seeking out
and destroying all infected cattle.

THE PEAR SEAsoN.-The season Of
pears is upon u.s. and how to preserve,
ripen, stew and bake, are the prevailing
questions among hoasekeepers. The
market is overrln with splendid looking
fruit, much of which is too hard for eat
ing. How to make it ripen well and
rapidly is knowledge confined to but
few. One Of the most extensive fruit Gull
turists in Pennsylvania has just given to
the world his method, and we, believing
the information to be as valuable as it is
timely, give it herewith: The requisites
are cool room and wooden blankets.
The pears are to be spread upon one
blanket and covered with the second.
Treated in this way they ripen rapidly
and without mealiness, the Bartetts COM
ing out fine golden color and the Sickels
rich and ruddy-looking. At least half
the fruit is spoiled by the ordinary in
door method of ripening, and housekeep-
ers will hail with delight any new and ct
fective means of attaining the desired end
without loss or vsxation Of spirit,

leopard, one of the most interesting aui-
mails IN the Central Park collection, has
met with sal late. The cage occupied
by this auimal was next to that OF a
large AMI powerful Asiatic tiger.
Sometimes the cheetah used playfully to
extend paw through the bars to cult
vate the acquaintarce of the latter. A
few days since the tiger seized the I'M
lucky cheelah by a protruding limb and,
with an extraordinary display of
strength, actually dragged it through
she iron bars and killed it before the
keepers had time to interfere.

A SToRY.--A very extraordinary story
is apparently gaining some credence in

than to the effect that King Amadeus

of the dastardly attack. He, says the
report, was much chagrined to find one
Of his instruments killed, as he had no
such intention towards any but his

that the Attorneys General has discover
