of the many curious things certain to
be seen at the forthcoming exhibition Of
electricity at Paris, not the least remark
able will be the electrical cooking range OF
n. salignac. That ingenious gentleman
is going to lit up his apparatus In the grill
room OF the restaurant, and intends To
furnish great variety Of meats which have
been cooked by heat generated from the
electric current.
At the last Paris Exhibition, NJ. Mou-
choi roasted mutton in condensed sunshine,
and literally turned his spit on the hearth
of the sun; but an enthusiastic admirer
might say that NJ. salignac had far sur.
passed this in broiling steaks by lightning
aud warming coffee with the aurora
borealis As matter Of fact, the electric
current is as we'll lifted to produce heat
as il is to produce light, and just as cleo
trieiiy will, in all probability, be made to
yield the principal artificial light Of the
future, so will il doubtless bs applied to
household heating. The same machines
which light the house by night will heat
and cook by day, besides performing other
duties, such as driving a cohse-mill OF 4
sewing machine.

We are frequently asked regarding the
best Of manner Of dropping money into
the contribuiion-box AT church, and after
carefully considering the subject we -ug-
gest the following rules: First, Il you feel
particularly mean, and have only penny
to bestow, you must hold il we'll covered in
your hand, aud when the box il under
your nose you must, With quick, ner-
vous motion, let your mite fall so that il
shall escape observation; second, II you
have a quarter, or any other silver coin Of
a considerable size to you, you must hold
il in plain sight between your thumb and
fore-6nger. and when you deposit il you
must let il drop from a comparatively
lofty elevation, 40 that il may make mus
ical Jingle when il reaches its destinst on;
thirdly, you contemplate offering a bill
you must not take the money out Of your
vest pocket until the happy time comes
when your neighbor can best see your un-
psrslleled generosity. The moment the
collector appears at the pew-door il the
one when you must tumble for your mon
ey, and then, having methodically unfold
ed the bill, and put on your Eyeglasses to
ascertain ia denomination, you may slow
ly place il or the top Of the box. These
three rules, we believe, will be sufficient
Tor all ordinary purposes.

New Married Couples.

Newly married people are always
a source of great amusement. They
try so hard to look as if they had
been married all their lives and fail
so utterly, Their looks of beaming
happiness are teli-tale enough even
if they did not sit always SO remark
ably close together. If it were not
that it is rather nice to see them so
delightfully."- happy, Think should
compile a little code of rules for
their guidance, such as-Elderly
married couples do not as arulecon-
verse entirely in whispers; nor press
each others hands under the table /;
nor sit im a dark corner of the boat
by moonlight, with the gentleman's
arms around the lady's waist, and
the lady's head on the gentleman S
ulster nor-this is very important
nor do old married people find it
necessary, in ordering dinner or
lunch, to say to each other: "Do
you like soup ?" or, What is your
favorite soup ?" These questions
have been asked and answered years
and years ago, under probably very
similar circumstances. Who but a
bride, for instance, ever travels in
new boots +? and what bride ever
travelled in an old pair?

Thirty Tons of Human Bones.

Thirty tons of human bones have
Just been landed at Bristol from Tur-
KEY. Picked up in the immediate
neighborhood of Plevna, earted
thence to Rodosto, they now go to
enrich English soil. To those who
do not give to such q matter much
consideration, it may be well to
mention that thirty tons OF bones
mean the skeletons OF 10000 men.
They do not include, probably,
many stones or pieces Of wood. but
in all likelihood are the actual bones
of the gallant men who from the
inside and outside of the wonderful
earthworks which 0sman Pasha
made fought as hard as they could
for the nations to which they be-
longed. The battles Of September,
1877, alone contributed nearly al
this number of skeletons but there
were other terrible fights in July
and August, and again when the
place surrendered. Each contest
furnished its quota of bones, and of
these large proportion now comes
70 England. 1t is appalling to think
what was the actual loss of human
life in the space between the Danube
and the Egean. Bat one thing Is
certain ; the thirty tons of skeletons
lust landed at Bristol do lot at ali
adequately represent the slaughter
that took place.

A Substitute for the Duel.

A substitute for the duel. which
will doubtless be welcomed by high
tempered men who are poor marks
men, has been found in Italy. The
editor of an Italian paper is said re-
Gently to have received from q fel-
low-citizen, to whom he had given
offence, the following letter: "Sir,
cannot send my seconds to such a
scoundrel as yourself. Hereby,
therefore, / smite you. That is the
sole object of this letter. 1t conveys
to you on my behalf q sound slap
on either cheek. Be thankful for
my moderation, which has spared
you postal consignment of hearty
thwacks with my favorite walking
stick ! l remain, etc." The next
morning the editor printed his adj
versary's letter together with this
crushing rejoinder 'Inimitahle adj
versary In compliance with your
request l hasten to thank you for
having sent me only couple Of
cuffs instead of a severe thrashing
You have struck me in writing.
Similarly, I hereby discharge all the
six barrels of my revolver at your
head and kill you by letter. As soon
as you shall have perused this note,
you may consider yourself a dead

highest consideration. Yours, etc.
