So simple a matter as not being able to find the paper 2,nd string necessary for tying cm a parcel may destroy the equanimity of the housekeeper and prevent the wheels of the demestic machinery from working smooth y a whole day, on account of the time and temper lost in hunting for these articles. All this may be prevented by a little at- tention and forethought. All that is nec- essary is to smooth and fold each piece of wrapping paper that comes into the house about the various parcels, and then to place it in some convenient drawer where it will always be handy. Twine is another element of comfort. A pmall basket with a cover, such as can be bought for a few cents, is thehandiest place to store twine in the kitchen. You need never buy any. tTust roil each piece up when it comes in the house around packages, and fasten cum end about the roll with a slip- Imot,and you'will be surprised to seewhat a tegamtity and assortment you will accumu- late in u short time. - It is a great convenience to have twine in various rooms of the house. Littlejapanese baskets, which cost but a few cents, are both useful and ornamental, when hung up with a ball of red, blue or other colored twine in each. By the way, one of these baskets suspended by ribbon of the same color as the twine and a small pair of sessors attached makes a very pretty and appropriate Christmas present. A Busy Day.

What the New Cure and AlloW It W Discovered-,Satnra's Own Preserinene ltinnies Disease. The efficacy of anti-toxine, the neW for diphtheria, beta now been dernonetrat beyond the ehadow of a dOUbt. That drea ditleaSe has been robbed of a goodly pe Oentage of 10 terrorand fhe science theditairee has taken a greater step forwa than at any time sinee the mierobe them' of diseases became an acknowledged fac Of all dieeases to whieh children are pa tioularly subject none has been more drea ed than diphtheria. The euddennese its onset, the swift career it runs, and i too frequent fatal termination,have stampe t as one of the mose nzaaux FOBS OP MANIIIND and the man who can discover a speoifi conferring immunity against it,or acting a cure for it,should beheld greeter than h who has conquered an empire. As to pe centage of deaths in eases of diplither among infante the statistical records sho that this disease has been fatal in abou fifty per cent, of cases. That is to say,th out of every two children attacked an aye age of one has died. By using the ne serum treatment the rate of mortality ha dwindled down to twenty per cent. or nnl one in five, and there is abundant reaso to believe that when the new treatment ha been studied more carefully this rate wi fall considerably further. But -what is th anti-toxine, this wonderful subettinoe &lieu which so much has been xi ritten and s little explained.? In the first place th word anti-toxine is derived from two Gree words, "anti" signifying /'against" an "toxicokon," "pertaining to arrows" or because arrows were formerly tipped wit poison, pertaining to poison. "Antatoxine therefore means &substance which counter acts or is "against" toxine or some poison ous substance. In other words anti -toxin as applied to diphtheria in an antidote fo the poison. of the diphtheria microbe. I has long since been ascertained that th microbe of a disease does not kill of itself But it excretes a poison 31.N0WN AS ITS TOXINE, which causes the manifestations of th disease in the human system. It ha8 ale long since been known that nature tries t combat this toxine which the microb excretes. Hence the old saying. "Nat ure cures. The physician can only help nature." As 'soon then as microbe enter the system and begin to excret :nes, nature gets to wurk manufacturin an ante- g. me to combat them. Sornet constitiations rei4y furnish this anti -toxin substance and easily 73-4-Neeseerie the poison. Hence it is that one man ave a ligh attack of a disease while another , ill sue cutnb. Hence it is also that in csrtain diseases, a man is usually subject to bu one attack. During the first attack z ature has fortified himself against the diseas and the subjeet is immune against subset. uent contagion. This being the case physilians of the highest intellect have been striving for some time past to DISCOVER THE SUBSTANOE which nature uses as an antidote for tox- ines. In pneumonia, for instance, it was noticed that at one period of the disease there is always a crisis, when the temper- ature will suddenly drop a number of de- grees. This peezzled physicians for many Years,until the deduction was drawn thatat the time of the crisis nature had manufac. tured sufficient anti-toxine to overcome the toxine of the microbe of pneumonia. It was along the same line that Koch strove when he manufactured his celebrated lymph for the cnre of tuberculosis, and indeed Jenner's N accination against smallpox is on identically the same line, although Jenner's discovery was made by chance, and was not the result of reasoned deductions. The problem being then to secure a supply of nature's cure, the efforts of bacteriologists have been directed along the line of experi- ments on animals. By certain methods the vireelence of toxines can be attenuated, or lesWbed, as by others it can be made greater If, therefore, an ainimal be inoculated with a series of these toxines, beginning with the weakest,it is reasonable that after a time that animal will become immune against the attacks of that disease become nature working in the animal has manufactured sufficient anti-toxine to counteract the poison. In other words,man finding himself unable to discover a cheini- ical antidote for agiven poison, gets nature to do it for him, THE samosa FREATMEET. In the serum treatment, then, a child suffering from diphthetia is inoculated with serum taken from an animal, say a horse, which has been rendered immune, as above, against diphtheria. The substance which nature has manufactured in the horse as an antidote against the disease with which he has been inoculated is thus introduced into the blood of the child, and straigatwam begins to counteracb the poison of the diphtheria microbes precisely as it counter.. acted it when it WAS coursing in the veins of the horse. This is the sum and substance of the anti-toxine remedy, and the principle will apply to other diseases in time, as well as to diphtheria. NOT ALWAYS CURATIVE. The eerum which is prepared in this way is not always curative. It is preventive only against pneumonia and cholera but it is both preventive and curative in the case of tetanus and diphtheria. For the supply of large quantities of the serum it has been found that the horse is the most suitable animal to experiment upon. A gradually increasing dose of a toxine that Will kill guinea pig in ferty-eight hours is injected beneath the skin, jut behind the shoulders of the !withal. The anti-diphtheretio Benner thee obtained has a proventaee power which surpasses 50,000,whieh means that a gainea plee will survive inoculatien ef afresh and virulent culture of diphtheria if, twelve hours before, it has received an injetstiere of a ClUantity of serum equal to the fifty thotua andth part of ita Weights The treattoent of patients Subcutaneously hi an injeotion Of the serum as soon as the digester:1 is diag- hoed& and tWenty-feur hours later a eeeond injeetion.

TRAMPLED BY ELEPHA,NTS. A. Tragic 'Episode of a Cent attnial Pete in tbe City of Risidiellt. On the occasion of the famous centennial fete at Munich in 1588 Carl Hagenbeek had with him a large nurnber ef his "pets," and on the day of the grand pros cession .was marching in it - with eight elephants, walking two and two. All went well until the elephants came to a point where some one:bad been allowed to set up an enormous sheet -iron dragon, hideously painted, which at that moment emitted a wild, brazen shriek, and began to belch forth flames and sparks. The four leading elephants took fright and ran away headlong through the pro- eession and along the crowded street. In vain Mr. Hagenbeek called to them. The yells of the dragon drowned his voice. The elephant's, too, were trumpeting almost as loudly as the steam dragon itself; and the outcry of all combined was immedi- ately swallowed up by the :still greater uproar of the multitude, as the panic spread right and left. • "11 ever I ran in my life," ' says Mr. Hagenbeck, "I ran then after those elephants; for the four in the rear had also taken alarm and made a dash after their comrades. I was more agile then than at present, and ran like a hound through and, I must add, over numbers of the good. people. "I actually caught up with the runaway elephants as they ploughed through the throng. The two foremost were chained together, and running in between them as they forged ahead, I caught hold of the chain and shouted to each by name, order- ing them to stop. It was useless. They were too panimstricken to heed me. In vain I entreated and commanded them. On they ran, trumpeting shrilly. " At every instant I was in the utmost danger of being trodden on or crushed to death between them, as they swayed to- gether. Still I kept hold of the chain, talking to them, for I knew that it was a very serious matter, and that many per- sons had been injured already. "For a mile or more -we rushed on. My breath was nearly exhausted. AM length, at a turn of the street, I contrived to halt them in front of the walls of a hose against which I was nearly crushed to death. Here I should have gained the ascendancy over my charges but for the senselees shouts of the crowd and .the shrieks of women frame tas-Wanalows over -bur head& "tiletcry started them ota again faster than before. "At last utterly exhausted, I lost my, hold on the two leaders and fell out behind them, but fortunately escaped being trod- den on. I was quite spent and more dead than alive. "A few hundred yards further on the two leading elephants, now worse terrified than ever, rushed bodly into a public house besitie the street, the double doors of which stood wide open and very lofty. The house was full of people most of -whom had no opportunity to escape. "The two elephants ran in among them, crushing several unfortunates beneath their feet and, to complete the tragedy, two others of the -eight crowded blindly in after them. Then the floor gave way, preeipating elephants and people into the cellar. Ach ! that was a dreadful sight! "Many were hurt and some were killed out -right. 1 lost two of my elephants. As was natural, a great hue and cry was rais- ed against me, and a long-winded police investigation followed. After a great deal of testimony had been taken'the blame was finally placed where it belonged—on the fiery dragon, and I was acquitted. "They have erected a new public house now on the site of the old one and given it tlae name of "The four Wild Elephants." Moved and Took His House With Him. A curious case of house moving was recently witnessed in Oregon. A man who owned a residence at Seattle, which cost him $5,000 to erect, removed. to Olympia, and did not have sufficient funds to build another house. He boneht a lot and con- cluded to remove the building he owned at Seattle. Everyone laughed at him but he persisted. Rolling the house down to the river, he loaded it upon a scow and it was soon at Olympia a distance of about sixty miles. Then he hied it rolled upon hislot, and etrange to say,nob a timber was strained,nor even a piece of the furniture broken although he had not removed the contents before garbing the house upoa its unttsual joarney.

She has been standing near them, purse in hand, at the counter, rather wistfully eye- ing their purchases, wonderingno doubt, if she shall have money enough some day to do as they. Her hair is golden and hangs pencie ant in a plait down her neck. Her eyes are big and blue, with all the innocence of a schoolgirl. A jaunty sailor hat rasps a trim and attractive figure.

Then you would have noticed that the sharp-eyed. young man quietly lett the store with the two women. He is fashionably dressed, idly wears a cane, has doubtless been mak- ing some purchases himself. Half a block away he taps one of the women on the should- er. "Madam," he says, half roughly, but politely, "She woman at the lace counter would like to see you." The women look up with astonishment.

The Remains of Alexander Dr, Entombed SIL the alrent Cathedral. A despatch from St. Petersburg says :-- The entombment of the remains of the late Czar, Alexander IrI., took place on Mon- day in the cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul. A thick fog enveloped the city, but She populace was astir at the earliest poss Bible hour, and at the same time the troops detailed to take pert in the funeral cere- monies commenced moving towards the poeitions assigned to then.. The cathedral was packed with distinguished persons. includieg representatives of all the imperial and royal families of Europe. The funeral services, were conducted by the metropoli- tan of it Petersburg and the metropoli- tan of Moscow. The former conducted the Czarina to her place near the coffins which reposed in state in the centre of the cathedral. The Czar and the Grand Dukes and the members of the royal families present took up positions on the right of the coffin, and the many military officers in attendance were grouped behind the bier. On the left were the foreign am- baseadors and Ministers and their staffs while grouped around in different parts of the cathedral were countless delegations from Russian cities: and elsewhere, includ- ing the numerous delegations from France. The funeral service began at 10.30 sari., and heated until 4 'clock. Over thirty members of the royal families of Europe' atte' nded by glittering suits were present. After the long servicmthe Ozarina, the Czar and others preseut took a last farewell of She rentaine of Alexander HI. The Czar then laid the imperial mantle over the body mad tiuSeetffitt was carried by the Czar and certain of the Prineess to its tomb. Remarkable Dogs.

Ia Qteaton the fishmonger's is a MOO ire- pertanb trade, The Chinaman is a born fitherman ; he also has for ages poet oul- tivated a system of artificial breeding and rearing of live fish for the Market. In the shops are diSplayed live and dead tish, fish &cell and :salted, smoked and preserved. One varieby was like whitebait, in baskets: graded frorri tiny things not half an heals long to what appearecl to be the same fish grown to £3 or 9 inches in length. These were field, fresh, salted and smoked. Shark Sus are a delicacy. There were fislamottled and barred, bright and dull, fish of quaint and (to us) unknown shapes; but foremost, above all, and everywhere to be aeon, were the artificially grown live fiela A wonderful creature was t his, always appearing to suffer from heat, gasping at the surface of the water for breath, and re- calling Verdant Green's fish, that were be• ginniug to sweat and complain. They were as tame as domestic animals,seerningly care- less of being knocked about., thrown, from ponds into boat, from boats into tubs, from tubs into buckets and then back into tubs again. They were used to being handled and inspected, and, 'if disapproved, put back into the water; to be sold alive if bought whole, or out to pieces while living and sold in Lleeding chunks. A thick, short fish is this of the mullet sliepe, aver- aging about 15 inches in length and weigh- ing about 3 pounds, but sometimes longer, and running up in weight to as much as 4 or even 5 pounds. When out up they bleed like pigs, and toshow how freshly they are killed the salesman is in the habit of slicing a live one into pieces, and with the blood smearing all the pieces for sale, so that they look reeking and horrible to European eyes. To keep them alive in the shops they are always placed in a large tub with a smaller veseel fixid above it. From the bottom of the upper vessel a bamboo, with one or two saw -outs in it' stioks out and from those cut streams of water flow in thin cascades into the tub beneath. Every now and then, when the upper vessel becomes empty, the fish all rise to the surface, and glop! glop! glop! take down both air and water. Then an attendant, attracted by the noise, plunges a bucket down among them, and from the water in which they swim fillthe upper vessel full again. SIKOKING IN CHURCH. -- h. Praetieetrang Once Existed in Eng- land and Scotland. We often her men say in answer to ur. gent invitations from their wives and daugh- ters to accompany them to church, "Oh, if I could only smoke in church I would go," and this is looked upon as a knook-down argument, for no one in these days would think of deseeratingo, church witlithe fumes of tobacco. It may, therefore, be interest- ing to some people to know that there was a time when smoking in chureh was pracg ticed hi England and Scotland. Sir Walter Scott, in bib "Heart of Mid. - Lothian," refers to one Duncan, of -Knock- under, an important personage, who smoked during the whole of the sermon, from an iron pipe, tobacoo borrowed from other worship- ers. We are told that at "the end of the diecourse he knocked the ashes out of his .pipe, replaced it in his sporan, returned the tobacco pouch to its owner and joined in the prayer with decency and attention." _The pame,wactice,existed intim Medium. - Bay Territory and some other of the British possessions beyond the seas for some time after the erection of the first churches in those early setelements, there being a gen- eral recourse at the commencement of the sermon to the soothing weed, the minister waiting until the pipes were fairly under way before proceeding with his discourse. It is also an interesting fact that smoking in church was by no means confined to the oongregationmor even to the minor clergy- men for it is recorded that the Archbishop of York was once reproved by the Vicar of St. Mary's, Nottinglaam, for attempting to smoke in the church vestry. The Rev. John Disnez,of Swinduly, in Lincolnshire,writing on the 13th of December, 1733, to James Granger, says "The Archbishop ordered some of the appositors, or other attendants, to bring pipes and tobacco and some liquor for his refreshment after the fatigue of confirma- tion, and this coming to Mr. Disnez'a ears, he forbade their being brought hither, and with a becoming spirit remonstrated with the Archbishop upon the impropriety of his conduct, at the same time telling his grace that his vestryshould not be converted into &smoking room." We lutve no evidence of the fact, but according to tradition smoking was allowable in the churches of the American colonies something over 150 ytars ago, bat the good sense of the people put a stop to it, and it is never likely to be revived in that part of the world, so that it is quite aafe for men to say they will go to charoli when they are allowed to smoke there.
