Damn Beds.

The London Lancet, referring to the
death Of Mr. Mas, the well-known tenor,
calls attention to the peril of sleeping in
damp bed. As matter of fact, this
peril is of the greatest, and it is almost
ever-present. The experienced traveller
rarely hazards the risks of sleeping be-
tween sheets, which are nearly sure to
be damp, until they have been aired un.
der his personal supervision at q fire in
his bed room. If this be inpracticable,
he wraps his rug around him, or pulls
out the sheets and sleeps between the
blankets-a disagreeable but often pru-
dent expedient. The direst mischief may
result from the contact of an imperfectly
heated body with sheets which retain
moisture. The body heat is not sufficient
to raise the temperature of the sheets to a
safe point, and the result must be disas-
trous in the extreme if, as is sure to hap
pen, the skin be cooled by contact with
a surface colder than itself and steadily
abstracting heat all the night through.
There is no excuse for the neglect of
proper precaution to insure dry beds.
Servants are never to be trusted in this
matter, and the managers of hotels, even
of the best description, are singularly
careless in respect to it.-Seientitic Amer

Queen Victroia's Household.

The Queens household has four heads
of departments-the Lord Steward foi
the food, the Lord Chamberlain for the
furniture, the Master of the Horse for the
journey, and the Mistress of the Robes
for the apparel. Besides all that pertains
to eating and drinking, the Lord Stew.
ard has charge of the gardens and every.
thing necessary for the administration OF
the staff of which he is the head. Under
the Lord Chamberlain is placed the con
troll of the churches and chapels, the art,
and amusements, and all that cannot be
claimed by the other departments. The
Master of the Horse controls the stables
and all their gear, and under his superin.
tendcnce there consequently come the
coachmen and footmen. The Mistress OF
the Robes is concerned with dress only
during a Kings reign her place is taken
by the Groom of the Stole.
To each of these departments, at the
several palaces, the purvcyors are ap
pointed by warrant--the warrants of each
department being of a different distin.
gushing color Hence the number OF
appointments is large one, and, from
the official list published on the first OF
January, we find that the warrants of the
Queens tradesmen number .545. OF
these 1874 come from the Lord Steward,
228 from the Lord Chamberlain, SO from
the Master of the Horse, and 80 from the
Mistress of the Robes.
Taking the four lists together, we find

The Raleigh On. O. Neps says tina,
there are excellent grounds for the belief
that to Captain William Boudinot, an
old naval officer from this state, and now
resident of .Pittsboro', Chatham county,
the country owes the signal service syss
TEN now in use. A gentleman who was
fellow officer of Captain Boudinot tells
us that he knows Captain Boudinot had
perfected the plan of signalling after
wards adopted ten years before it was
heard of as being considered by the gov
ernment, and as corrobofative to this the
Charlotte Observer learns from Mr.. Ed
ward Everett of Wilmington, that Cap
tain Boudinot carried on correspond
ence for twelve years with the secretary
of war in regard to his theory of the sig
nal service, when it was finally adopted
and put into successful operation by the
United States government. There is
really very little doubt about this fact.
Mr.. Everett says further that Captain
Boudinot has now copies of letters that
passed between himself and the secretary
of war on the subject of his theory, SO
that his claim may be established beyond
question.

A New Yorker lately met one of the

thing had become rather monotonous.n ~

Notwithstanding the sweeping destruc-
ton of cattle during the war, says the
Nashville american, there are ten highly
bred animals to-day in the south where
there was one in 1860. The stock men
of Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, and
other southern States, where natural
grasses would flourish, entered with a
zeal and energy into this business, which
has wrought great results. The south
has now over eight hundred millions of
dollars invested in mich cows, oxen and
other cattle, sheep, hogs, horses and
mules. Fully onc-fourth of all the live
stock in the United States is owned in
the south.

GOtham'S Wealthy Homes.

'tProbably in no city in the world"
said an ex-officer of the Army and Navy
Club few days since, "does pedestrian
catch glimpse of so many magnificent
interiors as in New York. Naval men
you know are great walkers when they
reach port. 1t is an exercise that is bene-,
fetal in thousand ways, and in the
course of my trips about the world have
become familiar with the appearance of
the streets of all the coast and many of
the interior towns of Importance. 1t is
rather peculiar that the older the city the
less the surface display and the more
beautiful the zealously screened interiors.
For instance in Rome the houses which
are most elaborately decorated within
have such somber and unattractive ex-
teriors that they might almost be called
repellent. In Chicago on the other hand
when a merchant prince or millionaire
pork packer builds house he has it near
the sidewalk and when the gas is lighted
at night he is apt to raise the shades and
pull the curtains back so that passers by
may look in and see in what costly
manner he lives. New York has not this
shoddy idea, but where the houses are SO
close to the sidewalk and the house
maids are careless there is very often
chance to catch sight of interiors that
force man of any sort of cultivation or
taste to stop and admire. Last night I
went to dinner in Fifty-seventh street,
west, and as had plenty of time left
the navy yard about five o'clock, crossed
the bridge, walked up Broadway and
moved thence up Madison avenue and
along Fifty-seventh street to my destina-
tion. Everywhere along the route above
Madison square l caught sight of magni-
ficently panelled walls, plush and laced
curtains that cost fortunes, warm bronzes,
richly framed pictures and the like set off
by subdued colored lights. On all sides
were views of sumptuously furnished
apartments sometimes in the basement
and sometimes on the second and third
floors of the houses, but never ostenta-
tiously shown. | don't know whether
people are generally aware of it or not,
but there is more to be seen in stroll
about New York streets than in any other
city in the world And when the wind
ows are not too securely screened flying
glimpses of magniticently furnished homes
may be had which must plunge beggar
into the very depths of dependency"

1t is not an easy trade to learn. Some
times man may accomplish it in few

will often spoil job. In the prepara-
tion of our subjects we use large
amount of arsenic in powdered form.
During the manipulation this powder is
shaken into the air and is inhaled by the
operator. As arsenic is an accumulative
poison it will remain in the system until
there is enough to cause serious results.

"Love-birds are preserved in great

Some Historic Dogs.

AT time when dogs, especially metro
politan dogs, are somewhat under
cloud, says writer in An the Yea,
Round, it may be well to recall some o!
the claims Of our old friend to respect
and esteem. Every one remembers tn,
dog of Ulysses, who died in greeting hi,
master, just returned from his long wand
erings, and the story shows the consider
alton in which the dog was held in tn,
heroic ages of Greece. The old Persians
too, held the dog in high esteem; to the
Magians he was a sacred animal, the rep.
resentatiye and friend of Ormuzd the
Benefcent, and the great satraps wers
distinguished by their trains of hunting
dogs, as was the King himself, and Xer.
xes set out for the conquest Of Greece
surrounded by great body-guard Of
faithful dogs. Those most highly priced
by the Persians came from India, social.
ed probably from the Bactrian regions,
where the dog is still held in high rcpute.
Captain Woods tells us that the old-fash.
ioned Uzbeg would think it no insult tc
be asked to sell his wife, but would re.
sent an offer for his dog as an unpardon.
able affront, while among the borda
tribes of Turkestan the epithes of the
dog-seller is one of the profoundest con.
tempt. Indeed, the birthplace of ma
tions is probably the original home Of
the dog, and when our Aryan ancestors
began to migrate westward from then
ancient seats with their flocks and herds
they brought with them, no doubt, then
fierce and faithful dogs, who have left
their descendants of to-day, the English
mastiff, the Pyrenean sheep dog, the AL.
banian wolf-hound. Ancient laws, too,
record the estimation in which the dog
was held: "a herd dog that goes TO,
the sheep in the morning and follows
them home at night is worth the best
OK" say the ancient laws of Wales.
The best herd dogs of the present day,
perhaps, are the Breton sheep dogs
rough, shaggy, uncouth-with an aspect
as if they had little of the blood Of
bruin in their veins, but highly valued
by their possessors, who are not to be
tempted into parting with them by any
thing under the price of the best OK; and
the Breton dog is one of the most saga
cious of his kind, watching and tending
his flock with an almost incredible yea
and devotion.
