Let the little folks take out the etielts, one by one, and bring them to you to name. OiMut, oak, iimple, birch, beach, alm hemlock and ash wood may be in that pile in the box, and even the little six-year- old can easily be taught to detect and cor- rectly name some of the varieties. The smooth, mottled bark of the beach, the rag- ged shreds of the yellow and gray birch, and and the color and crystal beads of pitch gum ot the pine and hemlock whenin round eticks, Sections of limbs are sure guides of their kind and easy to name, but not so al- ways when the wood is in split sticks, with, out a tell-tale half-inch of bark eurface, Perhaps you. cannot tell a chip of maple wood from ono of elm or beach. If so, you ca d eh ip 'Itudy the contents of the woodbox an tlir basket with your children, Tell them elm ood and sound rock maple and oak woo( , whether in split or round sticks, Bel- dam snap when burning, and are compara- tively safe for night fires in open, deep fire- place. Tell them if they want to burn big holes in mamma's carpet and rugs'to lay butternut at I poplar and soft -wood pine, cedar or hennock on the open fire and let the eticke pop live coals right and, left, as well } t6 straight ahead from the grate. TI.11 them an old unree, many years ago, burned a house and sem poor people in it one night bemuse she could not tell one kind of wood from another. She rolled a greet backlog of butternut wood on to the andirons of the big fireplace one evening for a night fire to keep warm a little new baby and its mother, believing the log was of elm wood, and when they were all asleep a live coal ;snapped out and burned and smoldered eway in the floor till it blazed into fierce, leaping flames that roared and rushed so terribly swift, that all the people up stairs were burned in their beds. I once saw a woman camp down one night on a thick cotton comfortable spread before an open grate, while watching with a sick child. She knew so little about wood she thought one kind was as safe as another, and iltd not think the poplar sticks she bad just laid on the fire would. enap and throw coals, but they did, and if the child had not roused with the dense smudge of burning cotton, no doubt the smoldering puff would soon have blazed and done terrible mischief. I know a little boy who has a boxful of sections of different woods. He is always on the lookout for a new specimen and has a bit of every kind Of tree or shrub he can find in his father's fields and woods. When visitors come, he delights in showing them his colleotion of woods'and in having them puzzle over the pretty oubes and cylinders of wood, and if they mistake a kind he is quick to know it. This indoor study of chips and wood brought in to replenish winter fires will amuse the children when time hangs heavy, and by close notice of bark and fibre and grain and smell and color arid slivering of wood thay will soon learn to detect the 00'11min-ton kinds from each other, and, per- 14ke to such an interest in the study, that when summer time again comes, they will commence a collection of native woods, and the green growing trees and shrubs will bear to them new, keen interest. Cleaning' Lamps. caning the lamps js ver x apt to be put off until the Tatter part of the day, as they seem able to wait attention better than some other things. 'In many households the dusk of early evening reminds the hurrying housewle that her lamps are still neglected, 4 and e ben fills them hastily and is oblig- ed t 1 t one at once. This is wrong, be- cause t e vapor of the oil about a. freshly - filled lamp is liable to explosion. A lamp should be filled at lomat two thirds in depth, and one which has but a spoonful or two of oil in it should never be lighted, as the empty oil space is filled with explosive, vapor. Lamps filled to overflowing are very un- cleam y, soiling everything brought in con- tact with them; and to most persons, the odor of kerosene is extremely unpleasant. A lamp -wick should fit exactly into its space and.should be kept clean. When it becomes black from the sediment in the lamp, it must be thrown away, or washed and dried before using again. When nearly burned away, a wick may be lengthened by a fold. of canton flannel, which, reaching to the bottom of the lamp, will feed the wick as the oil burns out. It is not best to put strips of red flannel or yarn into a lamp, as the inside should be colorless' that any Im- purities may be seen. If suchappear, wash the wick, empty and cleanse the oil reser- voir. A burner sometimes becomes so clogged that it does not allow perfect combustion of the oil. In such a case remove it from the lamp, place in cold water in which a sliced potato has been added and boil an hour or two; rub with a dry cloth, when it will be entirely clean and bright as new. To keep the chimneys shining and clear, nothing is better than daily washing them in soap and water and rubbing them clear with a soft cloth free from lint; old print hi good for this purpose. A small sponge attached to a stick is oonvenient for washing lamp chimneys. Hanging lamps are best to use where there are small children to endanger upset- ting. Common table lamps and small metal hand lamps on a broad saucer -like base are the most safe to carry about, as it is nearly impossible to overturn or break one.

The choice of the bride for the young Emperor of China has At lad been made, and in due thee the (laughter of the Doke of Chao'the brotlier of the pregent Empreee, will be Empress of the Celeetiel Empire. Altholudi the wedding will probably not take place belore 1880; thousands of hands are already busy with the lady's trousseau and wedding presents, which have probably never been equelled in wealth at any Other court. The following are the presents which the young Emperor is presenting his fiancee before their marriage, after the actual en- gagement present which consists of a gold seal, richly inlaid with jewels, the handle being formed by two gold dragons. Up to a month previous to the wedding the lady is presented with ten piebald horses, with complete trappings ; ton gilt helmets and cuirasses, 100 pieces of satin of the first quality, and 200 pieces of cotton material. As wedding presents the bride receives 2U0 ounces of gold, 10,000 ounces (taels) of silver, 1 gold tea eervice, consisting og teapot and 1 cup, with a lid ; 1 silver tea service, 2 silver wash basins, 1,000 pieces of satin of the best quality, 20 horses with complete trappings, 20 horses without trappings, 20 saddles for pacle homes and mules. The parents of the lady receive also 100 ounces of gold, one gold tea set, 5,000 taels silver, one silver tea set one silver wash basin, 500 pieces of silk, 1,000 pieces of cotton material, SiX horses completely har- nessed, a helmet and cuirass, a bow aud quiver with arrows, each parent one court dress for summer and one for winter, one every -clay dresa, and a sable coat. The bre% thers and servants of the bride also rective rich and costly presents. The bride's hats are the most remarkable articles among the rich trousseau. The win- ter court hat has a rim of sable, the crown is made of red velvet, frone the centre of which rises a button composed of three parts, each of which is crnamented with three small oblong pearls of particular beau- ty, wad seventeen ordinary pearls, while in the ' centre of each peat another splendid pearl is set in gold, and surmounted by a gold phcenix. The button is surrounded by seven gold pncenixes, of which each is in- laid with seven largeand twenty-one small pearls and a cat's eye. At the back of the hat, below the button, a gold pheasant is placed with one cat's eye and sixteen pearls. The tail of the pheasant is divided into five parts by 302 small and five large pearls, forming a pendant, the centre of which is made of a lapis lazuli, surrounded by pearls. At the end of the pendant a big coral is suspended. A collar is fastened at the back to the hat, the out- side of which is of sable, the inside of 'bright yellow material, with velvet ribbona em- broidered at the end with diamonds. The three gala court dresses are of it dark blue color, with borders of gold em- broidery, and large dragons embroidered all over the dresses, while down the front are sewn in gold thread the words " Wan - Fa"' (eternal happiness) and " Wan-Shon" (eternal life). The necklaces ansi chains are of ,an enormous value, and composed for the most part of pearls, turquoises, corals'and diamonds. A handkerchief whichis worn in the belt is green richly embroidered, trimmed with tassels of jewels and yellow ribbons. A gala apron of red and blue satin, trim - me& with otter zkin ,and embroidered, in gold, dragon fans, and skirts of many dif- ferent kinds are also a part of this gorgeous outfit, ancl the furniture for the future Em- press is keeping every trade brisk ehrough- out China. Mutton Suet as a lieuseheld Remedy. It is very vexing and annoying, indeed, to have one's lip all break out with cold sores, but, like the measle, it is far better to have the cold strike out than to strike in, A drop of warm mutton suet applied to the sores at night, jut before retiring, will soon cause them to disappear. This is also an excellent remedy for parched lips and chapped halide. It should be applied at night in the liquid etate, and be well rubbed alai heated in before a brisk fire, which! often causes a smarting sensation, but the roughest of hands, by this treatment, will often be restored to their natural condition' by one application. If every one could but know the healing properties of eo simple a thing as a little mutton suet, no housekeeper would ever be without it. Get a little from your butcher, fry it oat yourself, run into small cakes, and put away ready for nee. For cuts and bruises it is almost indispens- able, and where there are ehildren there are always plenty of cuts and bruines, M any e. deep gash that would have frightened most women into sending for a, physician at once, I have healed with no other remedies than a little mietton suet misi plenty of good eaetile soap. A wound should always be kept dean, and the bandages changed every day, or every other day. A drenching of warm soap suds from the purest soap that can be ob- tained is not only cleemsieg but healing:; then cover the surface of the wound with a bit of old white muslin dipped into melted mutton suet, Renew the drenching and the suet every tinie the bandages are changed, and you will be astonished to see how ra- pidly the ugliest wound will heel. He Was Only An Englishman. A certain Englishman went by ship to France about the beginning of this century. He wits very stout and paralytic, and when he came on board glared morosely—as paralytic gentlemen sometimee will—at the offidels who addressed him. As for an- swering them, he never dreamed of doing such a thing. The idea never entered his head; and the two liveried footmen, both Frenchmen, who supported him, had to ex- plain as best they could the stolid silence of their master. " C'est tout"—" He is an Englishman—that is all" —they whispered to the astonished captain. The ship was no sooner in motion than his servants hurried him.off to his private cabin, and arranged him so that he could go to sleep. The winds blew, the waves dashed over the ship, the footnaen were horribly ill, but the paralytic gentleman lay in his birth like an infant slumbering in its cradle. It was observed by the sailors that his cabin reeked of tobacco, and the presumption was that while the horricane was at its height he had been aroused, and had indulged in a good smoke. At last port was reached, and, the footrn.en, finding their master still etretehed out at full length, had to raise him up unceremoniously and remove him from the ship. Still the same silence and the same furbidding glare. Was ita forebod- ing of the terrible late that now awaited him ? After his bags had been ,examined at the Custom.house, the two treacherous men- ials hurried the fat and paralytic English- man to a hotel, took off all his clotheseand then proceeded to out offhis face and bands! But such was the phlegm of the paralytic man that he neither spoke nor uttered cry, nor did one muscle so much as quiver. This perhaps was not so strange as might at first appear when it is explained that the corpulent cripple was in the hands, not of two footmen, but of two smugglers disguis- ed as such, and that he consisted—with the exception oE his hands and face, which were wax—entirely of tobacco, which in the garb of a human being was thus introduced free of duty into the sunny land of France. Cninat Sanoz.—Two very large ripe to- matoes, two onions, two greeu peppers, all °chopped fine; two tablespoons of salt, tvvo • cups of vinegar two tablespoons of sugar; boil one hour. If the vinegar is very strong, use two cups to one of water, more sugar and less ealt, and simmer helf-an-hour longer. You will have a sauce that Will even be an 'improvement to grange beans, a dish that is always highly complimented. LEMON* Tariothie—Three tablespoons tapi- oca soaked in cold water till it can be stirred to a mixture of the appearance of milk. Let it come slowly to boiliiig, and boil till clear as a jelly; then add one cup white sugar, quarter of a teaspoonful of salt and the juice of ono large leneon or two small ones. To be eaten cold, with milk or cream and sugar if desired; but it is very nice without. CRACKER Pins. --Four common crackers, one cup of water, one cup of molasses, one cup of sugar, one cup of raisins, one half cup of melted butter; add spice as for mince pies. LEMON PIES.—Onelemon, one cracker, one cup of stigar, one egg and one cup of water; grate the rind of the lemon and add the juice. MOCK APPLE PIE.—The juice of two lemons, two cups of sugar, two cups of water, three soda crackers rolled, and three eggs; sewn with nutmeg, CUSTARD PIE,— One pint of milk, three Life in Siberia. The 'Russian policy of banishing trouble- some citizens to Siberia has been one of the worst features of the Czar's despotic govern- ment. To those accustomed to good society, and to comfortable habits of living, such an exile is a living death. The severity of the climate, the cruelty ef the officials, the gen- eral character of the people, e,nd the separ- ation from old friends, make the life of ban- ishment almost intolerable. But recent travellers in this dreary land brine to light some facts which mitigate the evil of the cruel exile. The families of the banished prisoners aro permitted to join them, as the government argues wisely that a prisoner will be more contented, and less inclined to engage in new plots, if family life is re-established. There are also opportunities of acquiring wealth, by working in the mines, or engeg- ing in overland commerce. One exile, by birth the son of a serf, who had large busi- ness capacity, became a millionaire by es. tablishing the overland tea trade. Others have been equally fortunate in other branches of business, so that a few, a very few, of the prisoners prefer to remain in their new home when the long sentence of exile has expired. Unoonventional People. Everybody has encountered the people who take to themselves what they suppose to be the credit of being unconventional, who offer a statement of that fact as the sufficient excuse for all sorts of violations of good breeding and social rules, and who as. mime the license to do as they please, as if they had the power to lift themselves above the authority ot ordinary canons of behaviour. It is a pity that thee° foolishly self -blinded and, for the most part, decidedly unpleasant people cannot be made to see their conduct in its true aspect. It should not be forgotten that society is, in a sense, in an artificial state; Whatever general natural principlee underlie it, its formtlated rules are purely arbitrary, and it is, in effect, a conventional arrangement. It follows that one who wishee to take part in its social life must accept its conditions. To attempt to be unconventional in society is all anomaly and a contradiction of terms. " Appropriate Mottoes. Hotel Keeper—" I want to put up some sort of a notice to keep guest e out of the back hall. Some of them have got into the kitchen, and the chief cook is very jealoue of his professional secrets." Friend—" Send out and get a No admit- tance' sign." Hotel Keeper—" That sounds too harsh. I want something which won't look so much like a regular order --some motto or other," Friend.—" Oh, put over the kitchen door 'Ignorance is bliss.'" • Turkish Superstition. Some curious stories of Turkish supersti- tion are related by the anonymous author of Stantbv2 und dots mderne Turkenthura, the most light -giving of recent works on the in- ternal condition of the Turkish Enapiire. The mysterious caprice with which distingu- ished arrivals at Conets,ntinople are treated by the Sultan and his ministers is explained by an anecdote told of the well-known as- tronomer Peters, when he visited Conetanti- nople iu 1850 with letters of introduction from Humboldt and other eminent men of science. He found it impossible' to proceed with the mission with which he was charged, because on the sante daythat he vras pre- sented to the Grand Vizier, Reshid Pasha, by the German ambassador, the man-of-war Nustretie was blown up in the arsenal. "This Frankish astronomer," the Grand Vizier is reported to have said, "either knew that the explosion was going to take place or did not know. In the former event he is a mis- chievous person for not warning us; in the latter be is an impostor ;" and forthwith the word was passed that Peters was not to be encouraged or assisted. Sometimes a visitor unconsciously carries his comclemnation in his name. In the reign of Abdul Aziz no one was more persistently snubbed at Court than Dr. Muhlig, physician to the German Embassy; and , all because the Turks pro- nounced his name " Muchlik which in Arabic means "murderer."
