The houses of Capri, construetea now of the Rama material and in the same manner aa were the dwellings of burled Pompeii ie the first century of the Christain era, are built of stone and plaster. Rough stones are piled together after the manner in which farmers build fences to divide their fields in our country, and which is also commonhere. The cremes are filled in with sand and coarse cement over which le laid plaster, and thus the walls and arcbed roofs of the dwellings—the former sometimes two or three feet in thickness—are constructed. Rvery part of the work is done in the most priroitive and laborious manner. The earth, for instance, that is dug from the proposed site of some new wall is scratched with a rude hoe, gathered up by the hands and thrown into a basket, which when filled, is carried away upon the head.—Harper'. /Migraine. and, as flirtation has set in, the basses of both mine have neffed the windowe down.

The minister couldn't get to the anxious couple and they couldn't get to him. But he was equal to the emergency.

The tight otthe Future, Theprimery fault of ail our lights, electric i lieht nchlece, is that there Is so great a waste of enerey iu the form of heat. The glowworhitl,e firefly, and a multitude of other anitsialeehow that light may be obtain- ed withant any more heat than that of the animal body, and without any such danger as that so terribly displayed in the burning of theatres. Radziszewski found that an- imallight isdue to theoxidation of,two kinds of organic matter, one containing hydrocar. bon and the other aldehydes, or something yielding aldehydes when treated with alkalis. The isolation of these compounds is but another step, and their application, both of them being steps that are but a:nail compar. ed with many that have been made in the chemistry of the generation. All our exist- ing artificial lights have another common fault. They are concentrated foci of glare. But for its cost the best of ell is the wax or paraffin candle. A room liEhted with 20 candles, well distributed, is incomparably better lighted than by one 20 -candle gas electriolight ; with the luminous up- holstery I suggested the diffusion would be still more complete than with the candles, it would correspond as nearly as possible to diffused daylight, end might be made to produce most charming artistic effects. Poison for some animals is food for others. Hogs can eat henbane or hyocyamue, which is fatal to dogs and nmet other animals. Dogs and horses are noteasily poisoned with arsenic. Goats eat water hemlock with impunity; plteaeants, stramonium; rabbits, belladonna.. and morphia is said to be inno- cuous to pigeons. There is eome truth in the old saying that " what is one man's meat is 'another man's poison," This is due to habits and idiosyncrasies. What London and Paris Eat.: In London and Paris the annual average consumption a head of population is stated to be as follows, the greater quantity in each being credited to the Parisian: Apples, 65 pounds and 6 ounces -145 pounds; pears, 39 pounds and 5 ounces -170 pounds and 13 ounces; peas, 3 pounds 8 ounces -6 pounds and 15 ounces; carrots, 7 pounds .and 3 ounces -37 pounds; celery, 11 ounces -6 pounds 13 ounces; cherries, 2 pounds and 13 ounces -20 pounds and 14 ounces; plums and damsons, 17 pounds and 12 ounces -183 pounds and 4 ounces; raspberries, 4 ounces 2 pounds; strawberries 3 pounds and 10 ounees-13 pounds and 12 ounces; asnera- gus, 1 pound and 3 ounces -5 pounds and 4 ounces. On the other hand, while the Londoners eat 173 pounds 4 ounces of potatoes, the. Parisian eats only 49 pounds and 4 ounces. The averege consumption of onions, toma- toes, cabbages, members and turnips is also greater in London than in Paris; but with these exceptions the French are by fax the largest consumers of fruit and vegetables— Good Housekeeping.
