1t is noteworthy that there is no word

son is always expected to bring his bride
to his fathers house. If there are sew
eral sons in a family, the household be-
all married. Every house, when practi-
cable, is built around an open space, or
court yard, the entrance to which Is Sc.

apart for the special use of each family
composing the household, although, asa

The house, if that Of n poor man, is
built of mud or sundried bricks; If that
of a rich man, it is built of kiln dried
bricks in a substantial manner There is
usually one room, at least, set apart for
the men, where they may receive visits
from their friends without the privacy Of
the domestic circle being invaded. There
is a well, or small tank, in the court
yard, and perhaps a few flowers for idol
worship. If there are cows, horses or
goats belonging to the family, they are
stabbed in this Enclosure. All the work
Of the family is performed in IL, except,
perhaps, the washing and sewing, which
are done outside by persons of those

John Brown, who probably received
more presents than any other mental in
the history of the English court, was
shrewd enough to anticipate the embar-
rassment which would be caused to his
friends if he died possessing the gifts
themselves, so it was the prudent Gus
tom of that domestic to sell nearly every
thing that he received within a few
weeks. John Brown was constantly
being complimented with costly gifts,
but he wisely freSerred to possess their
value in cash, and ny several cases the
Bond street jeweier who had sold the
present to the royal donor bought it back
within a sheFt|time from the recipient at
very nearly the cost price.-London

M1ormondom,. "old Folks, Day.,

Americans generally might well follow
the example of the Mormons in one
thing, namely, the observation OF a holi-
day called Old Folks Day. Holidays
concentrating some national event are
too apt to be seasons of noisy unrest. A
day devoted to the old folks would be
the occasion of delightful family re-
unions, and would be a distinct gain to
the home life of the people. 1t would
also promote that reverence for old peo-
pie which is SO often lacking in this
country. We need more holidays of the
right kind. Let us have an Old Folks
Day.-New York Tribune.

Forty-avo Million Hens.

The minister of agriculture has been
taking a census Of the fowls of France
and he informs us that the country con
tains 45, 900, 900 hens, worth on an av-
erage 80 cents apiece. One-Afth of these
hens and 1000, 900 cocks are killed an
nually, and they sell for So, 500, 900 in
the market. The other SO, 900, 900 hens
lay about 5000, 900, 900 eggs every year,
worth 1 is cents apiece. This sums up
to not less than $38, TAO, 900. Therefore
the chickens of France produce $67, 200,-
900 a year. They form no unimportant
item of the national debt; and whether
fried, roasted, boiled or stewed, they are
the most tender specimens of the feath-
cred tribe you ever tasted. Paris Cor.

Burmese cats are curious looking ami
mails, They have a joint in the middle
of their tails, which appendage is in con-
sequence crooked and sticks out in an
angle. They are fine specimens of the
cat race and very useful in a house.
They will attack a venomous snake with
out hesitation, and show much dexterity
in killing one, biting it on the back close
to the head. If bitten, as one of my ia
vorite Toms was once by n cobra, they
will retire to the jungle, where they eat
some herb nature points out to them,
and, after the expiration of a few days,
come back TO the house very lean and
hungry, but well and frisky as ever

Here is the ridiculous way in which a
German,cyclopedia, recently published in
Leipsic, describes the social life of a large
city in eastern New York. possibly
Albany: After dinner the gentlemen at
the reception followed the ladies to the
salon and lighted their cigars. Those
who did not smoke, chewed and spat
quite recklessly on the floor. Many
who did not use tobacco, took small
knives from their pockets, for an Ameri-
a gentleman always carries some kind
of n knife, and carved or cut ~slivers from
the chairs; almost all of them put
their feet on tables or chairs. This
behavior, which would insult our Ger
man ladies, the many beautiful Ameri-
can ladies in the room regarded as a mat
ter of course, much to the establishment
of the writer. New York Tribune.

Tho Making of tho Violin.

''Violins that are made as they should
be, " explained the dealer, ''have fifty
eight different pieces The wood of the
belly, or sounding board, should be Of
soft red fir, a kind only growing on the
Tyrolese mountains. 1t is light and
strong, and being of loose grain gives
free passage to the waves of sound. The
trees are cut in the winter after the sap
has ceased to flow, and the wood is thor
oughly seasoned before called fit for use.
The older the wood the better. For the
neck, back and sides Swiss sycamore is
regarded the only proper wood. 1t n
swers to q different note Than the fir, a
fact that has been found necessary to the
highest harmony. The violins are shaped
by exact rule, but the slightest variation
in any of the curves gives a difference Of
tone, so that no two instruments sound
exactly alike"
Several violins of the same make and
in all respects apparently alike were
tested to demonstrate this. They were
all tuned in fifths, the lowest giving what
is technically known as middle G, this
being the correct way to tune a violin,
but under the bow there was a marked
difference in the quality of tone.
Ibid it ever occur to you" was asked
the reporter, that the strain put on a
violin by the strings is something ire
mendous9 When tuned to concert pitch
the tension of zach string is about eighty
pounds, making 500 pounds for the four.
Yet the thin shell, 80 frail that a babe
could splinter it, will resist that strain
for centuries. OF course, the body is
strengthened by little strips glued inside
at different points; but it seems none the
less marvellous to me. Globe Democrat.

The cooling effect of ice is actually de-
pendent upon its melting, as in this pro-
cess the heat which causes it to melt is
absorbed from the surrounding bodies.
A pound of ice, in melting, will absorb
sufficient heat to cool a pound of water
from 174 dogs. Fab. to the freezing point,
or to cool 142 pounds of water n de-
gree. The heating power of steam is due
to the converse of this principle. A
pound of water converted into steam and
passed into a radiator will, upon con-
densing, give out enough heat to raise one
pound of water, or about AZ pounds of
air, from 80 dogs. to 1 ,004 degs.-Public

At the Royal Powder factory OF Wet
teren, in Belgium, a new gunpowder is
being made. They call it poudre papier,
or paper powder; and it Is said that a
charge of two and one-half grammes
(thirty-nine grains) gives, in a rifle of
small caliber, an initial velocity Of $50
yards to the ball. This is equal to, il it
does not beat, the Lebel powder. The
additional advantages are attributed TO it
of not smearing the barrel, of producing
no smoke, and Of causing little recoil.-
