WRITING MAcHINE.-A writing mn.
chine on trial at Washington, d. c., il
thus described: The machine is about the
same size as an ordinary sewing machine,
and can be worked by child who can
spell as easily as by grown person. 1t
consists of series of forty.two keys, to
which are attached two steel hammers, and
each Of these represents letter, figure
or punctuation mark. The keys are ar
ranged in four rows, like the keys Of an
organ, and are operated on precisely the
same principle. The hammers are arrang-
ed in circle, and when the key is pressed
the corresponding letter moves to the CEN
tire, receding again Immediately when the
pressure is removed A space key is pro-
vided, by means of which the spaces be-
tween words are made. Mr.. Washburne,
of San Francisco, patented an improve
ment on the machine, and he contemplates
the use of printers ink. In the original
the color is taken from prepared ribbon,
which is between the hammer and the pa
per. At the end Of each line the machine
Is adjusted for the next line by means Of
treadle, which is worked by the feet Of
the operator. By this machine three
times as much can be written as an ordi-
nary man can write.

AN AUSTRIAN CUsTOM.-Kising the
hand is national custom in Austria. A
gentleman, in meeting lady with whom
he is acquainted, especially if she be young
and handsome, kisses her hand. On
parting with her he again kisses her hand.
At the Reidof, last evening, a young man
who is paying his addresses to young
lady, on taking his seat at the supper-table,
around which the family were seated,
kissed the mothers hand, and also the hand
Of his afianced. 1t is very common to see
a gentleman kiss a lady's hand on the
street, on meeting or parting with her. If
you give beggar-woman on the street a
few coppes, she either kisses your hand or
says 81 kiss your hand" We have
had our hand kissed twenty times since we
have been in Austria by chambermaids,
beggars, and on one occasion BY an old
man. The words akiss your hand" to me
appear to be the same in German as in
English, or at least it sounds the same.
The gentlemen kiss the hands Of married
women as well as the single, and it is
taken as an ordinary salutation and token
of respect. American ladies are startled
when they first experience the application
Of this custom, but soon submit to it with
good grace. The children, also, when
presented to stranger, take their hand
and kiss it, showing that it is custom to
which they are educated from their era

Madame De Linas', poulaillsr Roulaut.

1t is important to mention one of the
institutions Of the establishment Of Mad.
anne De Linas, which may seem laughable
to certain people who affect to despise the
economy of the French, comparing il to
that Of the Chinese, who save the trim.
ming Of their hair and nails to fertiliEe the
soil Of their hower-pots. Doubtless in a
new and rich country like this there is no
call for the minute economy of densely
populated region of China; but we are a
wasteful people, and would do well to study
the economical system, If not of the Chi
nese, at least of the French. They are
never ashamed of any real economy, but
on the contrary, regard any wastcful per.
son as lacking in order and common sense i,
The institution alluded to Is the poulailley
routaat, or travelling hen-house. Il is
twenty feet long, nearly seven feet high,
and about the same in width. The front
is separated from the rest by a partition,
and forms little chamber for the guar

commodities from $50 to $40 chickens
very comfortably. They enter the door
at the rear end, which is provided with
steps like an omnibus On the side walls
are nests, for during the four or FIVE months
that the carriage is in service many Of the
pullets will have commenced to lay. One
guardian can easily manage three Of these
carriages, which are placed in line two or
three hundred feet apart.
The PoatailIer rolilda enters the grain
fields when the haryesters and cleaners
have finished their work, and still the
chickens find millions Of seeds Of the grain,
and of weeds, besides the grubs, insects,
larvae, and the chrysalides that lie dormant
for the devastation of crops the ensuing
year. In addition to this great advantage
to the farmer, the fertilization of three or
four hundred chickens is no insignificant
benefit; so that Madame De Linas must
be right in her opinion that farmers would
be wise even to pay for the services of these
armies Of " disciplined scavengers. The
fruit growers of New Jersey, for example,
who have for the last ten years seen every
individual plum and apricot and nectarine
destroyed by the curculio, or other pest,
will in time, perhaps, look with favor upon
the services of chickens. And to what
other source can we look for relief from
that pest that devours our sweet-corn ?
This is curious animal. 1t is 50 small
when it commences its work that you can
hardly see it. 1t is beautiful worm (ento-
mologically considered gold and green in
color, and in few days grows an inch
and half long. By that time it has trans
formed half, If not all the kernel into a
soft yellowish dough. This horror is the
result of an egg, we are told, laid by an
insect, and the insect of pupa that lies
in the ground all winter, and which ought
to have been deyoured by some omnivor-
ously benefcent chicken.-Frops A La
dy's Enterprise" BY Marie Howiaad, in
Harper's Mdgaziae for October.
