Of houremsputa, sham starched so stiff

Ming for a man w jam his head against
when he crawls into bed But there is
no question but what • woman oan find
a tloaaand and one rumens why the pil-
low ahem should be perpetuated an a
thing of beauty. The beautiful, clean,
snowy white pillow shams, looming up at
the head of the bed, and stanuing alone,
look very pretty, and the Is 'y of the
house ie greatly plowed with theta. The
men folks also Ovid them very handy to
keep the hair oil off the pillows, so their
%ices will not complain about their pil-
lows being ail greased over with oil.
Men can escape all hard aelings lobi.
to be engendered by neglecting to take
off the shams when retiring, and deck-
ing out the lovely linen and fine lace,
used in manut tcturing the shams, with
cl vice and fragrant hair oil. And when
he gets tired of getting his ears sawed
off, by corning in contact with the stiff
linen, and his cheeks wore, raw by the
starch and lace, he can gently slide the
slams to the foot of the bed and jam his
feet against them to keep them from get-
ting up in the night and walking all
over him. Even the most energetic pil-
low sham will loose its energy snd vital
force after being stamped anu crumpled
at the foot of the bed under a man's
feet. The pillow sham is not in any
one's way, to any great extent ; tho men
can get along with them and the women
can't get along without then,, so the pil-
low sham will not be obliged to go. —

Aa Ostrich's Nest.
After pairing, the ostrich begin* to
make hie nest It ta the male slow that
performs this duty. To do this it squats
upoltheyround,aud,balancing dealt upon
the sterngm. it scratches the earth with
its legs and throws the sand behind it.
When it has dug out enough on one side
to suit it, it turns around and begins to
dig another side, and continues this
operation until it is large enough fora to
sit in comfortably. This nest is elliptical
in shape, and is about 0.25 meters deco,
Y meter wide, and 14 meters long. A
few days after the nest is finished the
female bird begins to lay one egg on
every alternate day for eighteen or
twenty days. She then rests for a while
which time varies from ten days, and
then begins to lay more. A pair of os-
triches yield forty eggs. This is only the
minintunt nurber,which is always reach -
It is not unusual for • well-fed,
well -kept pair to yield fifty or even sixty
eggs. The eggs are placed so as to leave
no apace between them. They arena upon
et first forseverai hours each day, and
finally altogether. The male and the
female brood alternately. At night the
reale is always on the nest,•+ it possesses
greater warmth than the female. When
the birds relieve each other on the nest
the new comer tarns over each egg in
order that the portion which has been
laid against the nest shall receive the
warmth of the browler. These birds
perform their duties with the greatest
skill, without any noise or breaking of
the eggs. They squat downsnd with their
head and neck rake up and overturn
every one of the eggs, one atter another
without neglecting • single one. The
incubation tuts forty-five days on an
average, sometimes fifty days but never
continues beyond that. When the
chicklings hatch out they can be heard
trying to bresk the shell of the egg.
Sometime they succeed in doing so, but
usually the father break* the egg under
his breast bone and seizing with his bill
the inside akin tan at, and frees the
chidkliny. Upon first reaching the air
the chiekliag remains limp and weak.
But the warmth of thelearent won revives
it, and a few hours afterwards it oegins
to run about the nest, exercising its
long legs, tootling over at each step, and
recommencing' again it stumbling jour-
ney. Four days after their hatching the
chicklings begin to eat. They run after
and swallow small pebbles rhe father
and mother do not help their little ones
to find food.

A French sientist who baa iayse-
ttgated buckwheat gives the following as
the result of his researches Buckwheat
cakes are equal to pure wheat bread as
regards the phosphates or bone -making
material and nitrogenous principles which
they contain, and are superior to bread
in fatty platten. The general yield of
buckwheat when cooked is about three
times the weight of flour used, showing
that such flour will retain from 40 to 41
per cent. of water. Between different
batches of ground buckwheat there is a
great dissimilarity of composition, one
batch containing nearly seven times as
much nitrogen, twenty-five times the
amount of phosphates, and a hundred
and fitteen times as much fatty matter as
another. The bran is the richest por-
tion of the buckwheat, but cannot be
digested be weak stomachs. The finest
qualities of buckwheat flour, and the
white mill -dust especially, are very suit-
able for children and persons in poor
health, while the stronger varieties re-
quire • stronger stomach and much ex-
ercise for their proper digestion

An Austin grocergrosaly insulted Mrs
Mose Schaumburg the other day without
intending it. She is an immensely stout
woman, and, stepping on the scales,
playfully asked the grocer to weigh her.
As he adjusted the weights he remarked
that she weighed 190 pounds which prov-
ed to be her exact weight. "How did

Tho agitation which has long been go-
ing on in some districts of the United
States for the introduction of newspapers
as text books in the public school., has
at length taken practical shape in oneor
two places AtDedham,aBeston journalis
read in place of the readers. Regarding
the innovation theprincipal says: "Some
twenty copies of the journal find their
way into the school rooms every morn-
ing, and the children read from them,
culling that which relates more particu-
larly to history. Most of the scholars
have scrap books, in which they paste
such despatches as relate to the events
of the day, and once a week there is a
review of the current events, which con-
sists of a comparison of what each one
has selected, and taken all in all the
scholars find themselves well posted in
what is going on throulrhoat the world.
The result is gratifying in two ways—
first, by the education of the scholars,
and second. by a development of the
mind." Of course, it must be admitted
that as an exercise in classical English
the average newspaper report would
be found sadly inadequate, but the car-
ing for the practical rather than artistic
or abstruse in our public school educa-
tion would certainly favor the newspa-
per. The reading of the "annals ,of the
day," might be made simply another
branch in education, and as such its
benefit. cannot be doubted. The objec-
tions to the frequently oecuring details
of horrible murders, suicides, seductions,
etc., in the press, is not so easily ever -
eons. These, however, might be left
unread.

Fill s common tumbler with water
and then cut out a round of cotton bat-
ting just large enough to cover the sur-
face. and lay it upon the water. Over
this scatter the seeds of grass, or flax, or
mnetard, or all mined. Set the tumbler
away in the dark. In a few days you
will pee a beautiful sight. Delicate, sil-
very, thread - like fibers will steal
through the cotton, and creep down-
