SCIENTIFIC HINTS.

Salt sprinkled on any substance burning
on stove will stop the smoke and smell.
Salt thrown upon Goals blazing from the
fat of chops or ham will cause the blaze to
subside.
The evils of cigarette smoking are chiefly
due to the fact that cigarettes are cheap,
convenient and are used in large and ex-
cessive quantities, that the smoke is usually
inhaled, and that children and immature
persons SO freely use them.
Prof. Fream says soil is best adapted
for purposes of cultivation when it con-
tains of sand from fifty to seventy per cent,
clay from twenty to thirty per cent, pull
verified limestone from five to ten per
cent, and humus from five to ten per cent.
Why do leaves turn? The green matter
in the tissue of leaf is composed of two
colors, red and blue. Oxidation occurs
when sap ceases to flow, and vegetation
takes on a yellow or red tint. A dry, cold
climate produces more brilliant foliage
than damp and warm one.
The American watches have attained
such excellence that they are now univer-
SALLY regarded as superior time-pieces to
those of Swiss and French manufacture,
and. in respect alike to finish and accu-
racv. the handmade American watches are
acknowledged &c have no superior, while
their cheapness is simply wonderful

Mrs. Gladstone.

Her figure is tall, shapely and impress
sive; her carriage is little too rapid to
be entirely graceful; her costuming isis
English, which requires no elucidation.
Despite deficiencies in externals, which a
French modiste would have no difficulty
in abolishing-for Mrs. Gladstone would
be charming subject for dressmaker of
taste-she would be singled out in any
company as the most distinguished woman.
The face is uncommonly long, even in En-
gland, very high in the forehead, and very
strong and gentle, equally devoid of ro-
nance and of pedantry. The eyes are
large, liquid, well shaped, dark blue, and
meditative The silvering hair is parted
in the usual way, and combed in natural
waves down either cheek, as in the famil-
lar portraits of noted women of forty years
ago. Her mouth is well proportional to
the other dimensions of her face, and her
voice is low and vibrant with cordially
toward those she addresses. In the Par
nell Commission she was generally ac-
companied by her daughter Helen. The
latter carried small plain black sachel,
out of which when they were seated the
mother took fairly large note book,
which she placed for use on her lap. Mrs.
Gladstone took copious notes, correctly
emitting the redundancies and inessentials
of the testimony. These, when the day
was over, she digested into connected
narrative for Mr.. Gladstone. Familiar
with his purposes and methods, she thus
performed for him an inestimable service.
She saved him the time that would other
wise have to be spent reading yards of
small print or attending the Court, and
the days thus supplied were devoted by
him to national interests. Thus, not only
without sacrificing a iot of womanhood,
but proving herself the truest of friends
and helps to her husband, she too, served
the highest interests of her country.
