What can be Done with Musical Boxes.

A tourist writes: Almost the last words heard before leaving New York last spring were: Now be sure to see the musical boxes when you get to Geneve.' So, when came to Geneve, I went round from one shop to another, looking at them; but did not see any thing very remarkable until one day, sauntering along the promenade, l dropped myself into 8 shop aud asked for musical boxes of the pretty, viva cious little French girl at the counter.
 "A salesman who spoke remarkably good English showed us, in company with several others, the remarkable fea- lures of the rooms. By one of the win dows hung two wicker cages, each con- taining a canary bird. But what, in the name of wonder, can that thing sticking out at the side be? Presently up comes our conductor, and grasping the thing, commences turning it. Sure enough, it is 8 key, and he's winding up the lit tie songster. Each forthwith begins to sing, futtering at the same time its tail feathers, and turning it's head from side to side in the most natural way imagina- ble. This bird would continue, we are told, to sing at intervals for two hours just like real canary, only better. It cost six hundred francs. Our eyes were next drawn to several bottles and de- canturs which adorned a sideboard. The guide picked up one of them, and on his turning it bottom up, it immedi- ately began to rlay Coming thro' the Rye It was intended for wine, and when your guest filled his glass by in. verting the bottle, his ears would be saluted with music It would puzzle any one not in the secret to tell whence the music came; for the bottle is per fectly transparent except one place in the bottom, which is ground until the glass becomes opaque, and in the hol- low of which the musical box is placed.
 "Next came cigar and wineglass stand, which played when opened, and stopped when it was closed: Ladies work-boxes and photograph albums ad- dicted to the same pleasing habits were strewn broadcast over the tables, to say nothing of purses that, when you opened them to take money out, played an ap- propriate air; perhaps, Coal Oil Jonn- ny or Tommy Dodd.'"

The Lions Ride.

When lion wishes to have giraffe for his dinner, he is obliged to be very careful how he goes tomarket. Giraffes are not cheap articles of diet, even for isn, and an attempt to get meal of that kind of meat always costs him a great deal of trouble, and sometimes costs his life. Of course, the lion slips up very quietly toward the giraffe. He always does that, no matter what his prey may be, but in this case tits neces- sary to be very careful indeed, for if he springs and misses the giraffe, the great beast may get kick at him before he has time to recover himself, and kick from giraffe, whose hind legs fly out like sledge-hammer will make even a lion feel considerably shock up like. But even after the lion has safely landed on the giraffes back, his dinner is not ready. The giraffe is large and pow erful animal, and away he rushes, as fast as his long, awkward legs can carry him, and that is very fast indeed. Gilt ter, chatter !-spring and bound Away he goes, with the lion hanging on like good fellow, and the hyenas come to get something at the second table,
  eat whole giraffe. But it is not at all certain that there will be giraffe for dinner at all, for if the frig htened crea- ture can get into the woods, he may be safe. Dashing among the limbs and rocks, he may knock the lion of. And look out, MT. Lion! The giraffe will turn on you as quick as lightning, and kick the life out of you before you can get out of the reach of his heels. AL though giraffes have been know to get the best of lions in this way, they are not always SC fortunate. If thick wood cannot be reached, the giraffe will become exhausted, an the lion will fix his teeth in his throat, and drag the poor beast down and kill and eat him.
 Arsenic Eaters.
 It seems almost incredible that any person can be guilty of the madness o1 . resorting to the use of poisons, eithe, internally or externally, for the purpose of improving the complexion. Arsenic, in any form in which it is used--al. though not in pure metallic state and before oxidation-is terrible poison. If taken in sufficient quantities it causes death, after excrutiating suffering. In small doses itproduces very unpleasant effects, and undoubtedly shortens life. The habit of eating arsenic once con. frmed cannot be broken off. A person is to be looked upon as idiotic who will deliberately adopt the practice of taking such an injurious and dangerous drug, merely for the purpose of whitening the skin. But there are other substances much more commonly used than arsenic for their effect upon the complexion, which are also highly deleterious. Many of the cosmetics which are sold contain lead, and there are few poisons which produce results more to be dread ed than those occasioned by lead. Even as used in hair dyes, it occasions neu- ralgia, paralysis, suffering and death. Seek good looks by seeking health; by early rising, out door exercise, whole some food, 8 clear conscience, and the cultivation of cheerful temper, and not by the use of arsenic or any other poison.

Plants or Trees on One Acre.

The number of square feet ill one acre, or in one hundred and sixty square rods, is 43,56O. With these figures as guide, any intelligent school boy can readily determine the number of hills of potatoes, corn or any other plants or trees that may grow on one acre. If person desire to plant certain number of acres with apple, pear or any other trees, it is easy to calculate how many will be required be- fore he makes the purchase. If beets or turnips are allowed to grow exactly one foot apart, in rows running at right angles, 43, 3,560 may be raised on one acre. If plants of any sort stand two feet distant each way, 1O,800 may be cultivated on an acre. When the hills are three feet distant each way, with rows running at right angle, 4, $40 will grow on one acre. When hills are five feet, 1,742 may stand on one acre, pro- vided the rows run at right angles. If the rows are marked out in the quin- cunx style, the plants may all stand at given distance apart, and at the same time larger number than we have Indi- cated will stand on an acre. When trees of any sort are planted in rows running at right angle, twenty feet apart, 103 may be planted on one acre but if they be planted in the quincunx order, all twenty feet apart, more than this number will stand on an acre.
 Beginners will do well to investigate this subject, so as to have correct un- derstanding of both systems of marking out ground for any desired purpose.
 FURs.-In Name. skins of m1nks sell at $6 each, reduction of $1 on the price of the previous year, while in Ottawa, Canada, they bring from $2.75 to $3. This difference, tho Ottawa Citizen says, is due to change in the fashions of ladies' furs in the large cities of the United States, brought about through the rage among servant-girls for "mink sets" "At length" continues the CSti- zen, "'mink became so common that the wealthy classes sought for something more expensive. The South Sea seal was rich-looking and rare, and soon be- came popular with the belles of New York and elsewhere. If this view be correct. it seems rather strange that the prices of mink in Maine should have gone down only $1, at the very same time that there had been reduction in Canada of from $2 to $3.

Disinfection of Air of Sick Rooms.

The three best agents for accomplish ing inc disinfection of air after small pox or other contagious diseases, are sulphurous acid, iodine, and carbolic acid. The best method of employing sulphurous acid is to scatter little flowers of sulphur upon heated shovel and carry it about in the room or rooms which are to be disinfected.
 Iodine may be used by simply placing little in an open glass or earthen yes sel, and it vaporizes readily at the ordi- nary temperature of house. Carbolic acid may be employed by sprinkling a weak solution of it on the floor of the room, or cloths wetted in such.

Bv Invita-, On, Rev, Mr.. Fitzgerald,
of St. paul's Met. odist E. church, dis
coursed earnestly last evening from the
words of the prophet Hl,> oaIiuk
"Wop unto him that givetn' his neigh
Dor drink !; that putteth thy lHottie to
him, and makes him drunken also.
The speaker took different mann er
of presenting his views on the subject of
temperance than is generally presented
from the pulpit. He referred at length
to the large class who were engaged in
the manufacture and sale OF liquor, and
those who provided it for the entertain
ment of friends. Those who signed re-
commentator for license, those who
granted and gave the power to grant.
Those who voted for men that did not
enforce the laws. Those that failed in
duty in regard to temperance. 1t was
against these THAT the woes, mentioned
in the text, were directed. The woes
were to be pronounced by the victim of
the drink, by families in sorrow, by
wives worse than widows, and children
worse than orphans, and by a just God.
The voters of the land were responsible
for the evils of intemperance, and when
the political parties saw determined eff
fort on their part to stay the progress of
the curse, there would be plenty of tenn
perance planks in their platform. Allu
sion was made to the recent city election
in Newark, and the speaker reioiced to
know that candidate for the Office of
mayor, who truckled to Decorators of
the Sabbath day, for the sake OF party,
had been rebuked. Half loaf was bet
ter than none, and candidate for Office
who would pledge himself to do MOST
towards closing the food-gates of wick
edness should receive the vote of every
good man. The speaker closed with
the earnest hope that all present might
receive new impulses to duty, and at the
last great day escape the woes pronoun-
ced against him "that giveth his neigh
Dor drink, that puttest thy bottle to
him, and makest him drunken Also"
