Soldiers Afraid of Mice.

The correspondent of the London NeaUs writes: Our company is made up of Servians, Russians, Frenchman, 8 Swiss, Prussian, an Austrian and 8 CrOat, so that we are rather pOlyglot were. The thatch of the barrack, swarms with mice, which have fes- tive habit of dropping down on the sleeper's face, and they have been ac- cused, l cannot say with what justice, of attempting to nestle in boards. The Russians have perfectly frantic hor- TOT of mice. 1 have seen a veteran who would not turn his head at an explod- ing shell, jump from his bed in the middle of the night in paroxysm of fear. and, drawing his sword, make frantic cuts and passes at the spot where he believed his tOrmentOrs were harboring. have seen another rush ont into the cold night air because 8 mouse ran across his face, and refuse to re- enter till the break of day. Gen. Douchtouroff, who used to be one of the inhabitants of our barracks, emigra- ted altogether on account of the mice, and fitted up for himself a rough tente O abri behind it, into which he crept nightly without undressing. and slept there till the wind wrecked his habita- tion, when he had to go into winter quarters in the Chancellerie. Mice abound there, too, but he fights against them by the device of having his iron bedstead in the middle of the room, and he does not so much mind their playing on the floor under him.
 AAll are not friends that speak us fair.

How the Japanese Defy Fire.

The Japanese appear to have hit upon the expedient of providing fre-proof storehouses for the reception of furni- ture and other valuables. As security against the vast confagrations which during the winter months are so pre- valent in Japan, the most perishable and valuable articles are kept in fire proof storehouses known as mud go- downs." These structures are built of mud, or, to speak more correctly, of clay. Some of them take as many as three years in building. A double framework Of bamboo, or slight board ing, is run up, and the intervening space, about eighteen inches or two feet wide, is filled with mud, which is gradually packed and allowed to dry by the action of the atmosphere. At a great fire which occurred at Tokio on the 26th of November, and ragged for eight hours, destroying nearly ten thousand houses and an immense amount of property, not one of the ''mud go- downs''-and there were several hunt dred of them-was injured throughout the entire area of from five to six miles in extent laid waste by the confagration.

The Remains or England's Wooden
 Walls.

The oldest vessel, indeed, in Ports mouth Harbor is Nelson's Victory, the only ship which the sentiment of the nation will never allow to be broken up. She is III years of age. She is not the first of the name, previous Victory, as great, but not so fortunate as her. self, having been lost at sea with a thousand hands.
 Next to the Victory in point of age is probably the St. Vincent, now a training ship; after her the Excellent, formerly called the Queen Charlotte, whose launch was signalled by an ac- cident which caused the drowning of fifty people; the Carnatic and Malabar, now old black hulks, once gallant ships of Nelson's time, though not of Nell sons fleets. Then comes Coddington's s flagship at Navarino, the Asia, an old Indian built teak ship; there. is the Bellerophon, which received Napoleon i; half-a-dozen splendid old three-deckers which, like the Donegal, the Glasgow and the Victoria, have seen blue water on single trip; or else, like the Cam perdown, have lain forgotten by the Admiralty, and actually never been to sea at all.
 Among other relics of bygone fash ions there is the Acteon, the last sail- ing ship ever built for the navy; the poor old Oberon, which once did good service cutting out slavers, now con- demned to be target for torpedoes {; there is perhaps the last of the old French prizes still afloat, the Blonde captured in the time when if a war ship came back to Plymouth or Ports mouth without her prize she was felt to have disgraced herself; and along side the modern royal yachts, bright and dainty with gliding and paint, lies the Royal George-not the old line-of- battle ship which went down with the flag of Admiral Kempenfeldt, and dragged down with her twice four hundred men, but ship-rigged, square built craft, designed for Kinge George III, in which his granddaughter, Queen Victoria, made her first voyage to Standardization Daily Neaos.

Of What J ewels are Composed.

Very few persons who admire or deal in precious stones are acquainted with the internal structure of these valuable minerals; and most persons will be as- tonished to learn that these bodies ap- parently so solid and homogeneous, are often full of minute cavities, which in close fluid.
 Sapphires generally contain fluid cavities. Sir David Brewster met with one no less than the third of an inch long, but other authors have seen none more than one tenth of an inch in di- ameter. These are usually half filled with mobile and highly expansive fluid, which is considered to be car bonic acid. Sapphires are composed of pure alumina, co1ored by metallic oxide.
 The ruby is also colored alumina. Cavities, we are told, are far less nu- merous in these than sapphires, and, moreover, they appear to contain only water or a saline solution. Occasion ally, a liquid with similar characteristics to that seen in sapphires, is seen, but not often; and we are thus led to SUD- pose that the stone may be produced by different reactions and under differ ent physical conditions.
 Emeralds are often full of cavities which contain liquid that does not expand when heated, and is apparently strong aqueous saline solution.
 The diamond is, of course, the most interesting of all our precious stones, the origin and mode of formation ot which has always been a great puzzle to chemists and mineralogists. Its structure has already been studied by Goppert, who discovered what he con- ceived to be organic remains, and hence infers that the diamond is the result of vegetable decompisition under peculiar conditions. Sir David Brews- ter first noticed fluid cavities in the diamond, and explained the optical peculiarities of some diamonds by their presence. But diamonds sometimes inclose minute crystals of a different mineral, to which circumstance they also owe, in part, their peculiar optical properties. In the diamond, also, the inclosed liquid appears to be carbonic acid, as shown by its extraordinary ex- pansibility. Only one other known liquid has anything like an equal rate of expansion, and that is nitrous oxide,

Path of Safety.

Some clear-headed fellow says that there is but one road to happiness and prosperity, for either individuals or a nation, and that is faithful persistence is the legitimate paths of business. The riches that come in an hour do more harm than good. Hence we call upon all good people to unite in an effort to stay the tide of wild excess. Let man be drowned upon in society when he is living beyond his means. Let all noble and true women express their disgust at the extravagant and indecent display of the followers of fashion. And 80 shall the nation be saved from the mill stone that has dragged other republics to destruction; or shall our young men find a larger and nobler devotion than that of money, and modesty and dignity shall not wholly desert American wo- manhood.
