The Little BIeachers.-I was spending
A month at my uncle's, who lived near
Croydon, in Surry, England.
l had often been there, and knew
what pretty walks there are outside the
town; so before the sun peeped through
the grapevine leaves at my window, l
was up and dressed, and all ready when
my cousin Mary came to my door. -.

said she. Snow I'll take you to see
some other little girls that have to be
up bright and early every morning,
whether they're sleepy or not.
OFF we went. through the gate at the
bottom of the long garden, where the
roses and the mignonette smell so sweet
in the early morning, and out into the
lane that led down to some lowlying
meadows, through which stream OF

The Use Of Salt for Museum Purposes.
AT a receut meeting of the Geneva
Society of Physics and Natural History /,
Professor Alph. de Candolle exhibited
a glass jar containing fruits of the cof-
fee plant, collected before maturity, in
Mexico, preserved IN liquid which
chemical analysis proved TO be salt wa
ter. 1t is fifty years since the jar thus
filled was Theoretically sealed, under
the eyes of Aug. Pyr. de Candolle, and
to-day the coffee beans which it con-
tains are in a thoroughly satisfactory
state of preservation. The water con-
tains solution of common salt, and
very small quantities of other chlorides
or salts. No gas was found in the soiu-
ton, showing that the water must have
boiled, and introduced while hot into
the jar. This experiment may prove
valuable hint to curatOrs OF natural his
tory and medical museums as to be the

WASHING CoLoRED CorroNs.-Boil
two quarts of bran in water for half an
hour, then let 1t cool then strain it, and

the things are to be washed. They only
require rinsing as the bran stiffen them
sufficiently, For colored muslins, rice
water is very good, as it helps to pre-
serve the color; but, although 1t makes
white muslin clear, it some times gives
them a yellow tinge. When used, il
should previously be boiled in the
proportion of one pound of rice to one
gallon of water. No soap is requir ed.

NJ TergueH, French artisan, has or

with common or India ink. The glass
is heated over spirit lamp, or gas, til
steam ceases to be deposited on it, that
is to say, 80 degs. to 60 degs. Cent. and
a varnish, composed of eighty grammes
of alcohol at 50 deg, four grammes of
mastic in drops, and gramme of gum
sandarac heated together in flask, is
then applied to the glass, after the Ill
tering of the varnish; the latter IS very
hard, and becomes brilliant and COM
pletely transparent, but, if applied cold
10 the surface of glass, it remains
Opaque and absorbs ink. sheet OF
glass thus prepared may be written
upon with ink, but must afterwards be
dipped in very thin gum water.

SCIENTIFIC.

Ho,o Yel.0lo Fecer is Produced. - The
weight of scientific evidence seems to
warrant the conclusion that yellow
fever is produced by an invisible pois-
on, capable of self multiplication out
side of the human organism, which 1t
enters through the air passages. The
poison germ or miasma is a product Of
the tropics. In this country yellow
fever has prevailed in most Of the Gulf
and Atlantic cities, and in many of the
towns along the Mississippi river. In
some instances it has been carried In
land with the people fleeing from in
fected localities, but il has never shown
disposition to spread epidemically at
points remote from the continuous wa
ter roads of commerce, or to lodge In
high salubrious places. The cities OF
the great lakes have always been free
from the disease. Yellow fever cannot
be said to be epidemic in the United
States, from the fact that in some years
it does not appear, though the imported
germ undoubtedly survives the mild
winters. 1t appears to have about as
much resistance of cold as the banana
plant. When the banana stalk is killed
down by the frost the yellow fever does
not recur until again imported. The
germ is transmissible. 1t is capable OF
being transported in the clothing or
passengers and sailors, but its spread
| from one city to another is chiefly &C
complished by vessels, their damp, i'll
thy holds and bilge water being its fav-
orite lurking places. Confinement,
moisture, and high temperature favor
the multiplication or virulence of the
| poison.
