An Armenian Family ut Tea.Time.

Captain Burnaby, in his book, ''Trav-
els in Asia Minor" gives the following
peculiar picture of life in Armenia: The
wife of the Armenian and her children
were not at all coy about showing their
faces-at least so much of them as the
dirt did not hide from our view. They
squatted round my English servant, who
was making tea, and watched his pro-
ceedings with great interest. Now, the
woman, sticking her filthy fingers into
the basin, took out lump of sugar;
then putting it in turn into each of her
children's mouths. she had suck her
self "Give it to mev' suddenly ex-
claimed her husband. The lady did
not show any readiness to surrender the
prize. The man sprang to his feet;
thrusting finger and thumb in the
mouth OF his helpmate, at the same time
clasping her tightly around the throat
with the other hand SO as to prevent
being bitten, he extracted the delicacy.
Holding the sweet morsel high in the air,
he displayed the treasure to the assem-
bled guests; then, greatly to the woman's S
indignation, he placed it within his own
Jaw.

Water for the Eyes.

A writer in Fraser's Magazine thinks
that whatever hesitation there may be
Justly called for in recommending one or
another of the lotions now SO popular,
there need be no such doubt in respect
to cold water or pure water. He says in
cases of much inflammation or difficulty
of opening the eyelids in the morning,
experienced by SO many, the water
should be warm, and it may be mixed
with warm milk, but in nearly all other
cases it should be cold. All those who
have been engaged in reading OF writing
during several hours at stretch, and
especially at night, should carefully
bathe the eyes with cold water before
going to bed and the first thing in the
mornings ablutions. All artisans, too,
who work at blazing fire, ought often
to wash their eyes with cold pure water,
and 30 should all those who work in wool,
particularly carders and spinners, and
those likewise who are employed IN
wcolen and cotton manufactures, the fine
dust which such works disperse produc-
ing cateracts, obstinate inflammation,
swelled eyes, etc.

Almost a Dive to Death.

On the last trip of the schooner Lola,
from Vallejo to this port, says the San
Francisco Chronicle, the wind having
fallen off and the vessel being in four
fathoms of water, the anchor was let go,
pursuant to the order of the master,
Hughes, who had gone forward to give
it. AS the anchor was let slip, two and
one-half inch line by which buoy was
made fast to it's chain accidentally took
turn round the masters leg and whipped
him over the side and down into the sea.
AS he went rushing feet first to the bot
tom he drew and opened a pocket-knife,
and with one desperate effort of strength
against the pressure of the water he
stopped down and severed the line, hay
ing to cut deep into the flesh of his leg
to do SO. AS he shot up almost as swiftly
as he had gone down he returned the
knife to his pocket, and when he reached
the surface was picked up with only a
lanced ankle as the result of what would
have been dive to death but for his
coolness and nerve.

A Sensitive Woman.

The following is told of a resident of
Iowa: The case of Mrs. E. Winship,
who resides in Shell Rock, is remarka-
BILE one. The slightest odor of tobacco,
ether, chloroform, turpentine, benzine.
kerosene, or prussic acid will, if she in.
hale it, throw her into violent convul-
sions. So sensitive is she TO the effect
that she is obligedto to shut herself wholly
in room by herself. These 'convul-
sions increase in severity at each re-
petition, and few days since, a man
entered the house with piece of tobac-
CO in his mouth before the family were
aware of it, and, although the rooms
We're thoroughly ventilated by leaving
the doors and windows open, enough Of
the odor of tobacco remained to produce
these convusions when Mrs. Winshp
came into the room, and for some hours
it was thought she would not recover.
Extraordinary precautions are used to
prevent those who use tobacco from 60
ng to the house.

A Woman Seeking Home i'm Prison.

Sarah Lane, far from fOrbidding-

court Of sessions, New York, one day re-
Gently, on charge of malicious mischief
breaking pane of glass. The charge
being read she bowed her head and NUT
tered something inaudible.
