MENT OF THIS DISCOVERY,

Are Your Closets Ventilatedg

There is nothing so handy in house
as an abundance oflarge, roomy closets:
but because they are handy and extreme
ly useful they are apt to be abused.
There are many things which, as ma:
ter OF course, are always put intoa closet.
Of which the articles Of outward wearing
apparel make large part. There are
always things which ought not to go
INTO the closet, .. e., q closet adj Joining or
closely connected with q living or sleep
ing room. Of such are all soiled under
garments, the wash clothes, which
should be put. into large bag for the
purpose, or a roomy basket, and then
placed in the wash-room OF some other
well-aired room at some distance from
the family Having thus excluded one
Of the fertile sources of bad oders in
closets, the next point is to see that the
closets are properly ventilated. It mat
ters not how clean the clothing in the
closet may be. Any garment after be-
ing worn for while will absorb more or
less OF the exhalations which arise from
the body, and thus contain an amount Of
foreign-it may be hurtful- matter
which free circulation of pure air can
soon remove; but if this is excluded, as
in many close closets, the efauvia IL
creases, aud the clothes closets and aa-
joining rooms in time possess all odor
that any acute sense Of smell will readily
detect. Every closet in daily use in
which the night clothes are hung by day
and the day clothing by night, should
have an airing as we'll as the bed. If
the closet can be large enough to admit
OF a window-and it is in some cases
on ample provision for sunlight and the
circulation Of pure air is provided in the
window, which should be left open for q
short time each day. In the case Of
small closets a ventilator could be put
over the door or even in it, In many
cases such precautions for pure clothing
are not practicable, and the next-best
thing is: to see that the door Of the
closet is left open for half hour or so
each day at that time when the windows
are thrown up and the large room is
purified with fresh air from out of doors.
In this way, first, by keeping out clothes
intended for the wash, and second, daily
changing of the air, the closets may be
kept comparatively pure.

Railroad Accident,

A Charlotte, NC, telegram of Dec 90.
has the following: A fearful accident occurred
on the Carolina Central railroad, about two
miles beyond Lincolnton. An entire pnssen.
ger train, excepting engine which passed over
safely, went through the trestle at this point,
which is fully fifty feet high. Full particulars
cannot be learned yet, but it was definitely
known that mail agent David Bloom, and a
passenger named j. W. Goodson were dis.
abled, and subsequently burned up in flames
which communicated. it is supposed from
coal stoves used on the road, to shattered and
splintered cars which were piled on top OF one
another in the chasm. Conductor Captain
Harris johnson escaped with slight injuries.
There were very few persons on the train
and it is not known that any one else was

FACTS FOR THE CURIOUS.

ALTHOUGH the Chinese had gunpowder
many centuries before it was known in
Europe, they did not employ it in war,
but used it only in fireworks.
The leaning tower-of Pisa was built
in the twelfth century. It is 100 feet
high and leans thirteen feet from the
perpendicular. The inclination was
caused by the settling Of one side Of the
foundation.
TIE thread for the glass cloth, now
made at Pittsburgh. is drawn OUT Of
molten bar by means of rapidly-re-
volving wheel at the rate of 1000 yards
minute. The weaving is done on
looms, about the same as with silk.
The coloring is done with minerals when
the glass is originally melted.
IT is the opinion Of the Rev. j. G.
Wood, a popular English writer on nat
ural history, that the cockroach and red
ant, which abound in England as in this
country, are not indigenous there, but
we're imported in merchandise from
America. The numbers Of ants are so
great in some houses as to render the
buildings uninhabitable. The houses
have had the floors relaid, cement and
porcelain tiles used wherever possible,
but the house ants have retained pos
session of the premises. The passages
to their nests are SO small that boiling
water loses its heat long before the few
drops which can trickle through them
can touch the nest. Insect powders are
equally useless, and sulphur smoke has
no terror for these insects.
The proportions Of the human figure
are six times the length of the feet.
Whether the form is slender or plump,
the rule holds good; any deviation from
It is departure from the highest beauty
in proportion. The Greeks made all
their statues according to this rule. The
face, from the highest point of the fore
head, where the hair begins, to the chin,
is one-tenth Of the whole stature. The
hand, from the wrist to the middle fin
ger, is the same. From the top Of the
chest to the highest point of the fore
head is seventh. II the face, from the
roots OF the hair to the chin, be- divided
into three equal parts, the first division
determines the place where the eyebrows
meet: and the second the place of the
nostrils. The height, from the feet to
the top Of the head, is the distance from
the extremity of the fingers when the
arms are extended.

4 Japanese IB1II-or.Eare.

In the last number of the Revue Brit
0saaiQue is published an interesting ac
count of a modern Japanese dinner-paJ
ty, from which we extract the following
extraordinary menu, recommending it to
the attention Of those who may desire to
introduce some startling novelties into
the art Of dining, as practiced in these
islands: Boiled ducks, chopped pigeons,
blrd's-nest soup, roast mutton and banl-
boo buds, mussels and crabs, tea cakes,
turtle soup, black rats roasted with
sweet sauce, salt fish, roast pork with
rice patties, preserved melon-seeds,
stuffed sea-frogs, walnuts stewed with
betel leaves, ices, and fruits. Various
wines were served during this amazing
entertainment. The center of the table
was occupied by huge, covered bowl,
containing good store Of sea-feas, set
swimming in Burgundy just before the
guests sat down to dinner. By the time
the meal was over these vivacious in.
sects had become, sufficiently inebriated
to exhibit an abnormal and eccentric
activity, so that. when the cover re-
straining their saltatory exercises was
removed at dessert, they afforded excel
lent sport to the Japanese gentlemen
present, who displayed remarkable
smarhess in catching them with ivory
chop-stcks, and in subsequently, eating
them alive. To British apprehensions
this may appear a somewhat sreyolting
repast; but, remembering that many
dishes which they and the Chinese en-
JOY have ugly names that misrepresent
their real character, we should, suspend
our Judgment until we hear what the
delicacies mentioned are. Bird's-nest
soup, for instance, is q very Different
thing from what people who have never
been to China suppose it to be, and it is
quite possible that even the black rat
may bea species of ground game un-
known IN this country, but not less edi-
BILE for all that. We confess, however,
that the searfrog and sea-feas require .
good deal Of explanation.

TIE art Mrs. Hayes possesses for en-
tertaining, says q correspondent, is wor-
thy of study. With dozen guests on
her hands, and others constantly arriv
ing, she is always mistress Of the situa-
ton. Although full Of animation. vet
she is cool and self-possessed. Her
eyes do not wander while engaged in
conversation with single individual.
yet she appears to know the movements
of every one in the room. She is very
ready in conversation always leading.
and very frequently contributing more
topics and comments than any one
present. She entertains, and does not
exact entertainment from her guests.

Indians in WASHINGTON.

A delegation Of twelve Sioux Indian
chiefs and head men from the lower Brule
agency reached Washington Dec. % in charge
of Capt. Daugherty, .. s. A., acting agent for
Crow Creek agency. Their business here is
to conduct negotiations with represen-
tatives of the several lines ofrailway, relative
to granting the right of way through their
reservation. They will also confer with the
delegation from the Cheyenne agency, who
came here last week on similar business: To-

'See here, Judge" and he opened a
mouth big enough to take in quart
bowl, tossed in the apple, ratified it
around and dropped it into his hand
again with smile Of triumph.

three yards square of the street fell, and to
depth Of eight feet in the lowest place. The
break included the sidewalk, and extended up
to the very foundation of the CrossweN mill.
In fact, several cracks were made in the walls;
and pillar in the corner of the mill, about
fifteen feet high, fell out owing to the sinking
Of the foundation. As to the cause Of the
trouble it is asserted that early in the fall,
probably three months ago. q leak sprung in
the tunnel, and that ever since the treacher.

creating large open space. It is also
claimed that the watchman informed the
company that sand was washing out, and
that there was trouble somewhere. It seems
nothing was done towards repairing the break

The damage will reach several 4honsand Pol
lars, and the repairs viii besmade as soon as

in the past and the new tunnel, which is to be

arose at the supper table in boarding house,
at New Alexandria, O., near steubenville, and

head, inficting a probably fatal wound.
Henry seized shovel and beat schooley
about the head, wounding him so that he
