The raeking af trunke. It is Said that a woman cannot wrap up a paper areel or sharpen a lead 'there hae. been women %who iaV Lhown themselves quite equal to meni In these little enterprisesy but these ex. veptlons may be said to n'ini-ely prove the general rule. Candor and a pro sound Veneration for the truth com bis obe to admit, hotveter, thait such women are uncommon products of na ture. A kinder statement, ani one qually ' at to dispkove, is this; A ~ man c'diiiot pack a trunk as satislac orily, systenatically and conveniently as a womaw'.' 'e values liisatime too highly, and objects to dusting or mak ing glossy the knees of his garments. This peculiar occupation le not large enough for his superior nature, nor satisfying to his intellectual powers; but, all the same,he likes to find every. thinglIn its proper place and free from wrinkles When he reaches the end of a journey. Indeed, there have been in. stances when he bestowed that curious thingaWhbIh he is pleased to call a piece of his mind upon a valise or a trunk that proved to be less orderly In Its ar. rangements that he anticipated. The trunk which will hold a great deal and yet will hit take up nuoh room, has but a sliilE triay and no compartments, boxes or drawers. If, however, space need not be economized, the Interior is divided tp to furnish receptables for different articles of attire. A trunk of light weight, yet which is substantial, has many conveniences. It Is a mis take to sup)ose that a heavy trunk is stronger than a mnore flexible, light framed article, A small amount of ob servation added to a trifling quantity of humaulty, makes it easy for one tb (orgive a careless and even a violous handling of.certain enormous pieces of luggage belonging to American female travelers. The English lady prefers a wicker basket .In trunk shape, with a lock and key. It is strong, capacious, and has a cover of waterproof cloth carefully fastened about it by short leather straps. This sensible article is gradually coming into use in America, to carry costumes, skirts, and large pieces of rainent, which cannot be crushed without showing wrinkles. in packing a lady's trunC never for get to place the heavy articles of un(ler wear neatly folded and . compactly crowded together, at the bottom. If a bonnet is to be included )atck it in a paper box that Is as small i Iossible. Arrange the white garments about it, so that when they are all disposed of' they will present as level a surface as possible. 6tockings neatly turned into each othar and inerino or silk under vests, etc., tidily rolled up, arc excellent articles to crowd Into the vacancles about the bonnet box, and also Into spaces caused by garmunts With gathcr ed tops. Starched skirts should be fold ed into as broad pieces as the trunk vill admit,and their topa folded over or un der to suit convenience. Above them place the dress skirts, also folded as broadly as possible,carefully pre ervamig the smoothness of their lower parts,and over theolay the nteatly folded waists. Nowv place a towel over themi and tuck it neatly downt about the dIresses to further secure them from (lust, if the tray sinks downt too easily, on account of the trunk not having enough in it, ad d a shawl, newvspaper, or any ~on. venient articles that will prevent tlie packed garmien ts fronm becomIng ditsar ranged. In the tray, collars, ribbons, laces, gloves and all the etceteras of a lady's toilet should be neatly arranged either in oi- out of paper boxes. Fans and parasols should be wraiped in towels or soft, papers. Shoes siholdl be placed In linen pockets prepared for their recep~tioni. After everything 18 in the trunk, cover the topmost articles with a towel, and be sure to filli in with something if. there ls ay space still left. Thuis style of packing wall carry the finest of dresses and skirts a great distanece without injury. A supersitionshu Composer, f J acques Offeonbach the comiposcer was a great gambler at the a oulette, his fanvorlte naumber being from supersti .tioni-the thirteen. One evening at Spa the number carne seven times, and Of fenbach broke the bank. lie had a ter rible dread of the sea. Before lie couldl be ind~uced to cross the oceant on his way to America, lie spent long, sleep. less nights. As lie himself wvritos in his book, lie dare not go sleep, "lest on awaking lie should not bo able to comt snand a smile.'' lIe was in the position of the poor fellow in the fable whom the king had orderced to teach his ass to read under the penalty of being hanged. The mighty dollar, however, prevailed over his anxieties, tad lie emnbarkedl on the Canada. One night the steamer suddenily stopped to cool her engines. Hie started out 01 his sleep, lie imagined at once that the vessel had struck against a rock anml was rapidhy sitnking. Offenbach in his ,aight garment, but w ilh hiiseyeglasses upon .his huage ntose, rushed on deck lleading for life. Th le ellorts of the captnan and of all the p~assengers were required to persuade him that there was no danger. Camels. These anials on the mnarch are uasualiy told off'in st~rings of four unadcr Ihe charge of oneo attendant or sarwan. TIhils man should lead the front camel by his nose rope; the nose rope of the second Is attaihed to the crupper of the one in front, anid so On. Th'le four animals in a striung cover a istance of e.bout fifteen yards. If animals can be trained to follow theIr leader, it is far more merciful to attach the leading rope to the head collar tihan to the nose. When camels are proper ly fed and -looked after they they arc the cheapest of all pack carriage. Fonr good camels, with one attendant, wvill carry as much as nine mules or' ponaies with three attendants, and willl eat considerably less. if this proportion 'is applied to transport animals by the thouisand, i~t wIll be seen that, asatim. Ing equal staying powers and freedom from disease, there Is a very great ad vantage in favnor fnamel transport. FARM AND GARDEN.

A kicking cow is certainly A very disagreeable animal to have 'around, although it Is said of Ralph Waldo Emerson that some of hie brightest thoughts have came to him while being kicked half way across the stable. I do not doubt that sparkling thoughts would come to any one at such a time, for 1 know that one's mind (and tongue, too, some tipies,) is quite active when a cow puts her foot in the pall, or sends it spin ning across the table, and it takes a person of good disposition to endure it patiently, One must certainly have a good disposelon to deal with such a cow, or she is made worse or eoon spoiled. it is usually the ease that bad treatment makes a cow vicious. It a cow has kind treatment froi the time she is at calf up to the maturity, she will hardly ever be inclined to show any temper, and if she does happ-n to kick, it may be taken for granted that she has a very good reason for so doing. On no condition whatever should she be kicked or pouided, but the cause should be found and measures taken to reinedy it. If a cow's teats are sore she cannot be blamed for kicking. Hired men often wake cows kickers, and when a hired mun is caught treat ing a cow cruelly lie should be rebuked at warned to be more careful In tie future. lleifers most certainly must receive kind treatment whon teaching them to be milked, and for this reason they should not be entrusted to the hired mian, but the owner himself should milk and care for them. N EAT DOOR YARIDS.--Thme person n ho lives in the city has but a small yard. and generally can manage to keep it neat and clean. But country folks have larger places and having so nmuch work constantly on hand they feel unable to spend the time which they think would be required to miake their sur roundIrigs pleasant. Many farmers also have an idea that it costs a great deal to put out ornamental trees and lay out the grounds us vilinge people often do. In order to lay them out in an artistl manner aid have tihe grounds resemble a city park, consid erable money v, ould be needed. But a yard can be made quite pretty with out much labor or exliseiib.

THE HOUSEHOLD. R AW OYsTneS.-The practice of cook. ng is not equally necessary in regard all articles of food. There are im por taps differences in this respeot,and It Is Interesting to note how Correctly the expertence of mankind has guided them In this' matter. The artioleoa of food which we still use in the uncook-. ed state are comparatively few; ahid it is not difflcult in each ease to indicate the reason of the exemption. Fruits, which we consume largely in a raw state owe their dietetic value chiefly to the sugar which they contain; but sugar is not altered by cooking. Milk is consumed by us both cooked and un cooked indifferently; for .I have found on trial that the digestion of milk by pancreatio extract was not appreciably hastened by previously boiling the milk. Our practice in regard to the oyster Is quite exceptional, and furn Ishes a striking example of the general correctness of the popular judgment on dietetic questions. The oysters is almost the only animal substance which wPeat habitually, and by pref ference, in the raw or uncooked state, and It is interesting to know that there is a sound physiological reason at the bottom 01 this preference. - The fawn colored mass which constitttes the dainty part of the oyster is its liver, and tis is little else than a heap of glycogen. Assoc1nted with tne gly cogen, but withheld from actual con tact with it during lie, Is Its appro priate digestive forment-the hepatie diastase. The more crushing ol the dainty between the teeth brings these two bodies together, and the glycogen is at once digested, without other help, by its own diastase. The oyster in the uncooked state, or merely warmed, is, in fact, self-.ligentivo. But the advan tage of this provision is wholly lost by cooking, for the heat employed imnedI ately destroys the associated fermeit, and a cooxed oyster has to be digested, like any other food, by tlieeater's owi digestive powers.

Collodion as a Generator of Electricite -Professur Guthrie has sone tiu since utilized the mixture of collodio and India rubber for this purpose, an also given it a wider scope. As regart electricity, it is very remarkable thi if you rub glass with the sheet of indi rubber and collodion, negative clet tricity is excited, where, ordinaril speaking positive electricity, is generz ted. One of the applications the Prc fossor has given to this collodio-caoul cliouc is the formation of miniatur balloons for experimental purposef An ordinary glass flask is first coate inside with collodion by rolling ti liquid round and round inside. Whe dried, a layer of India rubber is give to the collodion In the same wty, On then another layer of collodion, an so on, till four or live thicknesses c collotlion are reached. When dried the 111im is easily detached by litting I at the neck of the flask, and pourinj between it and the glass a little acidu lated water. The balloon then cone out perfeotly wellshaped, and ready t bu tilled with any gas Which It may bi desired to try, and the - neck is vel secured by waxed silk or any othe. suitable means.
