Royal Luxuries.

Three thousand years ago Nineveh
2l8 square miles. Its walls,
100 feet high. with towers twice that
height, took lac, 900 men eight years TO
build. Babylon was yet larger; this
city founded by Nimrod 2233 b. c., had
its hanging gardens, series of terraces
raised one above the other on piers about
forty feet high till they over-topped the
walls of the city. Each terrace COM
prised about three acres and a half
planted with trees and shrubs, The
government was despotic, bu: tempered
by a curious check. The King had ab-
solute power, but could not rescind his
DEGREES. Eagles were trained to accom-
pany the warriors in their battles, to
pluck out the eyes OF the enemy, or TO
feast upon the conquered. Very great
were practised upon the cap
tives. In one of the rural scenes, the
King, who quaffs the goblet in an arbOr
is gratified by the sight OF the head of
an enemy hanging upon one OF the trees.
The royal quarry was the lion. Park
were kept entirely for the King to enjoy
the lion hunt,

1t was in his power. He would then
grasp it very lightly indeed and raise it
gently from the ground, trusting tina:
the reptile would be more inclined 10 be
carried quietly than TO summon up
sufficient energy to bite. Even if il

have done so, As long as the captor's

rule, as with wasps, bees, hornets, etc,

house, he produced the viper for the
amusement of his brothers and sisters,
and after repeating the performance
tried to tie the snake In double knot,

the most pacific of creatures, and in
consequence he received a bite on the
finger.

How They Vote in Canada

Each polling place has 10 be divided
into two apartments, either by an ordi-
nary partition or by Il screen. Ia the
outer Of these, where the ballot box is
kept, will be the presiding officer, his
clerk, and the certified representatives
of the candidates. No others will be let
into this apartment except the voters,
and they will only be admitted one at
time by the constable, by whom the
door of the polling place is guarded.
One voter must be disposed of and re-
tire from the polling place before
another is admitted. Upon the voter
presenting himself to the presiding Of
ticer, the latter will look over the list.
and if his name is found upon it, he
will have the right TO vote, subject to
challenge from the certified represen-
voter will then be furnished by the pre-
siding officer with ballot, on which
the presiding officer will place his mi
tials, and oil the counterfoil attached
to it he will place the number of the
ballot, which number shall be the same
as the number of the voters name on
the voting list in the clerks book. The
ballot will contain in alphabetical or
der the names of all the candidates. On
receiving it the voter will be requested
by the presiding officer to retire TO the
inner apartment, or behind the screen,
and there make cross in pencil Oppo-
site the name of the candidate or can
didates for whom he wishes TO vote.
Should the voter be ilIiterate, the pre-
siding officer and the representatives,
who have previously been sworn To Sc
crecy, will retir" with the voter, who
will then be asked for whom he wishes
to vote, and the presiding officer will
mark, in the presence of the represen-
tatives, the ballot as designated by the
voter. The voter on returning to the
outer room will present his ballot to
the presiding officer, folded in such a
way that the latter can see his initials
upon it, and see that the number on the
counterfoil agrees with the number on
the ballot. On finding that the num-
bers agree, and that it is the same bal
lot which he gave the voter, the presi-
ding officer will tear off and destroy
the counterfoil and place the ballot in
the box. The voter will then retire
and another voter will be admitted to

The Way to Manage serpents.

An hours gazing at the qu,escent
reptiles behind the glass plate at the
Zoo, set one thinking about how I'M
pleasant duty must be that of the keep
ers, and what dangers they must incur
in moving them. But the handling of
venemous snakes has been performed
by Englishmen without the least re-
course TO art except that of acquaint-
ance with the habits of snakes. The
late Mr.. Watterson would take up rat
tlesnakes in his bare hand out of box,
carry them into another room, put them
into a large case, and afterwards re-
place them in the box. ''He described
the manner in which he did it," using
says Mr.. Wood, "my wrist as the,repre-
sentive of the serpent. The nature OF
all serpents is rather peculiar, and is
probably owing to the mode in which
the blood circulates. They are extreme
ly unwilling to move except when
urged by the wants of nature, and will
lie coiled up for many hours together
when not pressed BY hunger. Conse-
quently, when touched their feelings is
evidently like that of a drowsey man,
who only tries to shake off the object
which may arouse him, and compose
himself afresh to sleep. A quick and
sudden motion would, however, alarm
the reptile, which would strike in self
defense; and sluggish as are Its general
movements. its stroke is delivered with
such lightning rapldity, that it would
be sure to infiict its fatal wound before
it was seized. If, therefore, Mr.. Wat
terson saw a serpent which he desired
to catch, he would creep up very quiet
" to it, and with gentle, slow move
mcnt place his fingers round its neck,
Just behind the head. If it happened
TO be coiled in such manner that he
could not get at its neck, he had only
to touch it gently until it moved suffi-
ciently for his purpose. When he had
'once placed his hand upon the serpent

Toledo Swords.

Not the least prominent of the sights
of Toledo Is the Royal Mandatory of
Swords, the same which has made the
Toledo blades renowned throughout the
world. The weapons were first pro-
duced by independent workmen, who
eventually resolved themselves into a
guild known as "Los Armeros de To-
ledo, or the Armorers of Toledo" Wri-
ters on the subject state thaC the finest
blades were produced In the sixteenth
century, but the artisans of to-day assert
and give ample evidence that it would
be impossible to produce any, superior
to their own han6iwork. While in the
testing-roOm, blades were bent TO such
a curve, for cur satisfaction, that pru-
dence prompted US to withdraw to a
safe distance. And then such thrusts
and blows against large steel block
that it was surprising no breaks occur
red. A visitor can also have the pleas
ure of wrenching his arm in such efforts
if he feels so disposed. Also in the
finishing room, an expert displayed
what is known as an espoda de roscd-
slight fla. blade which easily assumes
the form of a circle. Every stage In
the process of manufacture is performed
within the factory, from the forging TO
the finish. The engraving Of the orna-
mental blades; the carving Of the..elabo-
rate hilts, and the gold inlaying, are all
parts requiring skilled hands. The
number of men employed varies with
the demand. There are probably seven
ty-five at present. An order for Ger
man cavalry sabres is now in the works.
A fine dress sword is also being made
for the Prince Imperial Of "baptism Of
IRE" renown.

Saved by n Play-Bili.


The old saying that everything finds
its use sooner or later is simply borne
out by an episode in Russia's eastern
progress which one may still hear re-
lated with infinite glee by some veter-
ans of the Russian army. While Box
hara was still an independent prinei-
pality under the terrible Nashrullah
Kahn, small party of Russian engi-
Deer officers from the settlement of the
Syr-Daria ventured into the hostile ter
ritOry, in the hope of surveying a pOr-
ton of it before they could be inter-
rupted. This hope, however, was
speedily disappointed by the appear
ance of an overwhelming force of Box
harlote horsemeD, who advanced with
the evident Intention of attacking
them. The Russian leader, seeing his
case desperate, boldly assumed the
character of special envoy from the
Car TO the Ameer, and in this charac-
ter made a triumphal entry into the
capital, escorted by the very men who
had been about to take his life. Ad-
mitted to an audience, he coOlly pre-
sented his own gold watch and silver
handled knife to the savage despot, as
the Cars gift to his ''royal brother"
and everything was proceeding with
the utmost smoothness, when the old
Ameer upset everything by suddenly
observing that surely the grea. Car of
the Ooroos (Russians) must have sent
letter of some kind along with his
gifts. At this malapropos remark the
self-styled ambassador turned pale as
death, and already felt his head sit
subaltern beside him. however, with
miraculous presence of mind. drew
from his pOcketbook an old play bill of
the Alexander theatre at st. Peters
burg, and coollv read from it an imagi-
nary letter of congratulatlon, winding
up by handing it with low boy to the
Ameer. The latter, who had already
seen the Cars name appended to more
than one official document, was quite
convinced by the sight OF the huge
Alexander" along the top of the pa
per in company with the Russian dOu-
bic eagle, and the precious play bill
was reverently deposited among the
royal archives of BOhkara, where it
probably remains TO this day.

The use and Abuse OF Coffee.

How strong should coffee be taken, is
an inquiry of much practical import
ance. How much should be taken at a
meal is scarcely of less moment. Coffee,
like any other beverage, may wholly
ruin the health; the very use of ittends
TO this, as certainly as does the use of
wine, cider. beer, or any other artificial
stimulating drink. There is only one
safe pan of using coffee, and that is,
never, under any circumstances, except
of an extraordinary character, exceed
in quantity, frequency, or strength
take only one cup at the regular meal,
and of given, unvarying strength.
In this way it may be used every day
for lifetime, not only without injury,
but with greater advantage than an
equal amount of cold water. and for the
simple reason that nothing cold should
be drunk at a regular meal, except by
persons in vigorous health, We have
personally known of the case of a lady
who was for long time in poor health
to the mystification of several physi-
clans whom she consulted, when at last
we discovered that she made most ex-
travagant use of coffee many times
day-in fact, she had pot of coffee all
ways at hand Following the advice 10
abstain from coffee, resulted in an i'm
mediate end of all her trouble. In re-
gard TO the strength, it is maintained
by some that one pound of the bean
should make sixty cups of the very best
coffee. If man takes coffee for break
fast only. one pound should last him two
months. or six pounds year. One
pound of coffee should be made to last
Il family of ten persons, young and old.
one week. Put. about two ounces of
ground coffee in quart of water, or
rather divide the pound into seven pOr-
tions, one for each breakfast in the
week. and make quart of coffee out of
it. which will be sixty-four tablespoon
fuls. Give the youngest two table
spoonfuls and the eldest a dozen, the
remainder of the one cup being filled
up with boiled milk. This will give a
cup of coffee sufficiently strong for all
healthful purposes Tor the respective
ages; and for various reasons, pecunia-
ry as well as physical, some such sys-
tematic plan as this should be adopted
in every family in the land. How to
make cup of coffee good is third
question. 1t is perhaps as good and as
easy plan as any to buy the coffee un-
ground, pick out those grains that are
imperfect. wash it, parch as much as
will last day or two, with your eyes
upon it all the time, until it is a rich
brown, with no appearance of black
upon ii. Grind only enough for days
use; grind it fine, for the greater the
surface exposed to the hot water the
more of the essence you will have;
pour the boiling water on the coffee and
close it up. Some boil it little, others
prefer not to boil it at all, but let it
stand to clear ten minutes, then use.

evening saw horse and cEaise come
dashing down the road, the horse evil
IDENTIFY taking its own course. independ-
emily CT the driver. Nearly opposite
my house. one wheel of the carriage
struck some impediment, and the ehaise
was overturned. ran to the assistance
OF the persons thus thrown out upon the
grassy slope by the wayside, and was
glad To perceive that neither of them
were seriously injured. They con-
sisted OF a stout gentleman, with large,
black sidewhiskers, lady and a small
boy. We took the latter two in the
house, while the gentleman, after hav-
ing paid the necessary attention TO the
horse and shattered vehicle, soon
Joined them.
While some conversation about the
accident was in progress between the
gentleman and myself, I noticed he
fixed his eyes on my countenance very
steadily. At length he called me by
my name, and announced himself as
the young clerk of the hotel in New
London.
You went to New Orleans with Mr..
Chessner, did you not?" inquired /.
"Ah, you remember him do you?"
' Yes, have reason for it," an
swered.
"And he remembered you. lie re-
membered you OH his dying bed"
- He is. then, deceased p"
g He died of the yellow fever in New
Orleans, about five years ago. A
strange confession he mace. | was
with him 1T the time. You may re-
member the ship Lady Adams.
"Ah." cried /, .'now | remember.
He was one of the boats crew that
came on board of us with Captain To-
bey. But how does it happen that he
did not perish with the rest when the
Lady Adams was burned'"
1.-The Lady Adams was not burned
at that time," resumed he; ''the crew
mutinied on thai night, killed the cap
:ain and officers. and threw a burning
tar-barrel overheard ir order TO make
your officers and crew believe that the
ship had caught fire and that all hands
had perished."
But then, why was not the ship
ever heard of afterward: ?"
" Because The mutineers took her to
an island Inhabited by savages, where
they set her or fire after having re-
moved everything of value from the
cabin. Chessner, whose real name
was Hexie, and who had been the stew
ard, secured the captains money, and
wore it about his person in a canvas
belt. The mutineers had not been
long on the island before they got into
a quarrel with the natives, and all of
the former except Hexie were killed
He escaped from the island after time
and turned up in New Orleans after
various vicissitudes. There fortune
favored him; he became wealthy, and
you know the rest"
