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,

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

A supersitionshu Composer,
f J acques Offeonbach the comiposcer was
a great gambler at the a oulette, his
fanvorlte naumber being from supersti

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.

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.

any resentment. 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.

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

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

a yard can be made quite pretty with
out much labor or exliseiib. Tile sur

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

and India rubber for this purpose, an
also given it a wider scope. As regart

if you rub glass with the sheet of indi
rubber and collodion, negative clet
tricity is excited, where, ordinaril
speaking positive electricity, is generz

fossor has given to this collodio-caoul
cliouc is the formation of miniatur
balloons for experimental purposef
An ordinary glass flask is first coate

liquid round and round inside. Whe
dried, a layer of India rubber is give

then another layer of collodion, an
so on, till four or live thicknesses c

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
