Lett q Rich Prize Astern.

A prize which may have been worth
$50, 600, was left astern by the schooner
Martha T. Thomas, which arrived at
the Delaware breakwater the other day
from Mantanzas, says the Philadel-
phia Record. Captain Smith passed a
dead whale, over sixty feet long, of
Hatteras. The dead fish bore no evil
dence OF violence, and death was prob.
ably caused by the presence of am.
beraris on the intestines, causing the
loss of all vitality and ending in q
swelling of the body similar to that
caused by dropsical affection of the
human race. Ambergris gives buoy.
ancy and prevents the sinking of the
carcass until decay.
The latest market quotations for
ambergris, according to cable advices
from French perfumers, who use 1t in
making fine perfumes, is $50 per
ounce. In an ordinary whale like that
seen by the Thomas, there is often
found 600 or more pounds of amber.

Egyptian Styles of Writing.

The Egyptians had four separate
and distinct styles or forms of writing
the hieroglyphic, the hieratic, the
enchorial and the Ooptic. The hero.
glyphio was probably in use as early
as the year 1000 B. G., and at first was
made up entirley of pictures. About
tho year 1000 B. @. the hieratic form
or style was introduced. In this the
picture hieroglyphics were greatly
simplifed, finally developing into
forms purely linear. The enchorial
form of writing was in use among the
Egyptians from about the year 700 B.
O., until about the year 200 A. D.,
and was still further simplifcation
of the earlier forms, which finally de.
vsloped into the alphabetic form known
as the Coptic. st. Louis Republic.

CARE OF INDIA RUBBERs.

In these days, when india rubber
shoes are SO often made of shoddy
material, it is especially necessary to
take good care of them. 1t is a great
mistake to wash an india rubber to
free it from mud. Soap always in.
jures them, and even clear water ap-
plications are of no special advantage.
The best way is to allow the over.
shoes to become thoroughly drv,
Then brush them free from all dust
and mud, and rub them thoroughly
with vaseline. This not only cleans
them, but leaves an oil surface, which
makes the overshoe more impervious
to water. There is an india rubber
cement which is ct times quite eff
fective in mending small rents in
overshoes, though it does not last q
great while. In buying overshoes it
is always best to buy of the freshest
stock you can secure, and to buy them
of trustworthy dealer who will not
deal in inferior goods. s.-Boston Cul.

Mrs Hill made inquiries and found
that her daughter had been playing
on a lot at Duval and Green streets,
and had really found the money lying

Forestry In France.

There is no country in the world
that pays 30 much attention to the
science of forestry as France, and a
| tribute to its pre-eminenoe in this par.
ticular has long been paid to it by the
Anglo-Indian Government, which has
for many years maintained branch
of its crown college of forestry at
Nancy. The French Ministry has for
long time paid particular attention
to the prevention of destructive forest
fires which annually destroy hundreds
of thousands of trees, has now decided
to inaugurate q series of isolation
zones. These spaces are to be traced
out SO as to go through the moisest
ground, and at every pond there will
be tower reservoir with fire engines
and long hose. The once bare heath,
or "1andes," of Gascony, covering an
area of l, 800, 900 acres, is now covered
with dense forest of pine and cork
trees planted by the State. Another
measuse in this direction announced
by the Government is the proclama-
tion that premium of ten centimes
will be paid to each person who brings
kilogram of cockchafers, which do SO
much damage to the trees. Notices to
this effect have been printed and
posted in every commune and village
throughout the country. The humor
Of the announcement lies in the fact
that the average number of cockchafers
to kilogram is 1162, which enables
one to appreciate to the fullest extent
the muniicence of the Government
and the value of cookchafer hunting,
at the rate of one cent for every 600
insects, as a means of LIVELIHOOD

RATS IN A CELLAR,

Cellars should be built always with
regard to safety from vermin. Once
these get foothold in the walls or
under the floor it is almost impossible
to dislodge them, and if they are
poisoned the dead carcasses are as bad
as the live animals. So that the con-
struction of the cellar is worth think
ing of. The floor should be made of
concrete, over layer of broken stone,
we'll rammed down. Rats cannot
burrow under such floor and gain
entrance in that way. Then the wallis
should be built up of stone laid in
mortar, and all the crevices should be
filed with small chips to make the
wall tight. The foundation of the
wall should be made at least six
inches wider than the wall outside, as
the rats will try to make their way
along the wall, and never make the
Offset outward to get under it. The
beams of the floor above the cellar
should be bedded in the wall, and the
wall built close around the ends of
them. This also lnsures soundness in
the beams and prevents rotting, as
there is nothing better for the preser.
vation of the timber than lime. It
has been recommended that the holes
made by the rats be smeared with tar,
which is offensive to them, or to place
some concentrated lye on the bottom
OF the burrows, by which the rats
feet are burned. This so disgusts
them that they leave the premises.
But there will always be trouble unless
the walls are built at the first in the
way mentioned. -Germantown Tele-

Carriage after carriage rolled up to
