There was recently received in Milan
great curiosity in the shape of clock mad,
entirely of bread. The maker is a Peruvian
native Indian, and he has devoted three

out means to purchase the necessary meta
| deprived himself regularly OF a portion of hi
daily bread, which he devoted to the con
struction of this curiosity, eating the crus
and saving the soft part for his work. He
made use of a certain salt to solidify his ma
terial, and when the various pieces were dr.
| they were perfectly hard and insoluble t,

goes perfectly well. The case, which is also o
hardened bread, displays great talent, botl

To all who make use of the comparativ
| leisure of midsummer to visit the orchards
gardens and grounds of others, We have ont
| bit of advice TO give: "Shut your OWE gate
behind yon" When you leave your garden
| fruit-patch or grounds, Of whatever kind
| shut the gate and leave whatever is behind
you there--don't take it with you. Reeol
| lect that when you visit the place of another
you go to see what he has to show and learn
what he has to teach. If YOU would be Q
/ welcome visitor and dismissed with press
1 ing invitation to come again, place yourself
/ in receptive mood; be for the time the at
| tentive pupil and not the teacher. Whei
others visit your place will be the propeT
| time to teach. OF all the intolerable bores
who visit us is the man who brings his own
place along with him, and who, whatever
| may be shown him, at once institutes com
! parison with his own, and at once begins to
| tell that mine are much better than that,
and ignoring the things before him, tells us,
"Ah, you should see my strawberries, my
roses, my tomatoes" and so on sll through
in short, the man who did not shut his own
gate behind him. '-Americdn AGricalturiSt.

The French code does not allow lovely wo-
man to drive a coach in the streets and parks
of Paris. As matter of fact she drives every
afternoon pony chaise or dashing victoria
around the lakes in the Bots de Boulogne,
and no presumptuous policeman ever dreams
of interfering with an amusement which has
risen TO the height of fashion and for all that
the visitor to the Bots can suppose, the police
interdict against ladies who drive might be
complete dead letter. Three weeks ago an
accident led to the tardy application of the
forgotten law. The young lady driving her
victoria, had the misfortune TO run over an
old woman: and although the latter, comfort
