As to the arrangement, a continuous variety in form, color and expression would leud themselves to the eye and baud of the true lover of artistic beui ty.

In the social condition of the Aus tralian reople, in the absence of here ditary rank, and the opportunities af forded of acquiring such portions as can be gained by wealth, inte'ligmce or general ability, there Is a clo.-e similar Us with the people of the United States. They have also tho same industry a::d persistency, the aamo readiness to' take advantage of opportunities presented, whereby wealth can be prolnced w.th the least amount of labor. Perhaps 10 better illustration can be given of this than the great success that has attend ed the raising or sheep in these colonies, particularly In that of Xew South Wales. That one colony has a larger number of theep than all of the United .States, and the sheep-grower, although they pay to those in their employ hs high wages as are given to those in th? employ of sheep-raisers in the United Stalea, Cud not the least diUiculty in getting wool, stnding it to London, and selling it at prices which would bo con sidered ruinous by those iu this couu try who ate engaged in a similar Lusi 1; ess.

The reputed height of this structure has at times ben greatly exaggerated, some Jewish authorities fixine It at twelve mll?s, and Jerome quoting con temporary assertions for its being four miles high. Th?s estimates, however, give way to the sber testimony of Strabo, who states the height at OUO feet, which i3 the figure generally acs cepted. The distinction of forming the remains of the tower of Uabel has been claimed for three masses of ruins in or re.tr Eabylon ; but the majority of competent antiquarians have declared in favor of Ilirs Nimroud, which stood in UorsiDpa, a suburb of lijbylon, eight miles from the city. .Sir II. K. 1'orter showed that th9 summit had been ex posed to intense vitrifying heat; which must have been the result of fire oper ating from above, probably in tbe form of lightning, thus confirming the tra dition cf its destruction by Cre from heaven, .ir II. V. Itawilson discover ed tht it consisted of sven stages of brick work on an earthern platform, each stage being of a different color. Its ruins still rise ISO feet above the level of the plain. According to Hers odotus the tower of Bibel was adorned by cooss-tl inures and statues of solid gold, the value of which he rated at tcnty-one millions sterling, probably as great an exaggeration of their worth as twelve miles wai of the height of the structure. Hutch Customs. In Droeck, Holland, no one enters a house by the front door, nor is anvone seen seen at the front window. The front of the house ia where tho best 'parlors' ar, which are sicrcd to cleanliness anJ sclitudi. Irving's de scription of such a deparinaent is rigid ly true : "The mistress and her conhJettial maid visit it once a week, for the pur pose of giving it a thorough cleaning and putting things to rights, always taking the precaution of leaving their shoes at the door, and entering devout edly on their stocking feet. After scrubbing He tloor, and sprinkling it with Cne white sand, which was cur iously wrought into angles and curves and rhomboids ; after .washing the windows, rubbing and polishing the furnitnr?, and putting a new bunch of evergreens in the Ciep'ace, the window shutters were again closed, to keep out the flies, and the room carefully locked up till the revolution of time brought round the weekly cleauing day.'' To insure the front door from unholy approach, the steps leading to it are removed, never to be placed there but wf-eri three great occasions optn the mystis gates, and these are births, mar riag.s and deaths.

If your hands cannot be usefully em ploved a-teud to the cultivation of your mind. Always speak the truth. Mike few promises. Iive up to your engagements. Keep your own secrtts, if you have any. Wbeu you speak to a person look them in the face. lood compny arid jrood conversa tion are the very sinues of virtue. Good character is above ail things else. Your character cannot be essentially injured except by your own acts. If any one speak evil of you, let your life be so that none will beheve him. IriLk no kiud of intoxicating liquors. Ever live (misfortune excepted) with in vour income. When you retire to bed think over what you have been doiug duriDg the dy. Make no haste to bs rich, if you would prosper. Small and steady pains give corns potency with tranquility of mind. Never p.'.iy at any gime of chance. Avoid tempation, through fear you may not withstand it. Eirn money before you spend it. Never run in debt, unless you see plainly a way to get out. Never borrow ir you can possibly avoid it. Do not marry until you are able to sepport a wife. Never speak evil of any one. He just before you are generous. Head over the above maxims at least once a week. Farm and Garden Sotes. One of the essentials of soiling Is a fertile oil. B"ys and girla are the best crop raised on the farm. Every farm ought to have Its erpei imental patch. It is better to dehorn every bull than to have one man killed. Muriate of potash has proved to be a remedy ior the white grub. The early killed is the easily killed weed, and the weed that robs the crop least. If you are careful to keep the furrows straight you will do faster aud better plowing. The smaller the field the more fence require-? and the more land taken from cultivation. A diversity of crops distributes work, r ceipts and expenses more evenly through the year and through the years. The p'.um curculio is injuring our apples. Spray the apples once, and the plums three times to destroy the insect. In no other way can the farmer so radically do the work of nature to his advantage as by using tile for under drainage both lengthens the seasons and deapens the soil. The Uatch of Three Diles. An Alabama watchmaker has appli ed for protection at the Patent Oilice for a watch with three distinct moves menls and dials. This novel device is designed for the use of railroad engi neer and conductors. Three separate sets of machinery are to be enclosed in one case, with one face, upon which three dials will appear. The probable importance and value of the Ihing can bu best indicated by the relation of an aotua' occurrence. On tha Memphis aud Charleston railroad a few years sgo two traits collided.kiiling two men ai.d burning up a large quantity of oil acd other valuable freight?. The cause was that an extra coil of the hair-epring of the the watch of one of the conduc tors became ectaugled with the regula tor, causing the crippled timepiece to run so much faster than usual as to gain twenty minutes in one hour. Tbe bearer of the watch In consequence in creased the speed of his train, and sj unexpectedly met a train at an unusual place. Davis' project is to furnish three watches In one case regulated to run together, so that if one should sud denly become disordered the other two would almost infallibly point out the error. reach Stone Fuel, It has been demonstrated in Vaca Valley that peach stones will make as good a Cre for household purposes ts the best kind of coal in the market. says the Vallejo, Cal., Chronicle.

Nitro-glycerine was first df 1- l i by Sombrero, a chemical stud-:: in 1 ans. It is made by treating -1,. cerine with concentrated sulphuric s-i nitricaci ds. Kxcept as a hom.- o,,m., remedy for headaches it found no prj. nurti ajipiicauon until when A. fred Xobel. a Swede, of Hamhur- M gan its rrauufacture for use as -c explosive on a large scale. Though tf sacrificed a brother to the terrible ac': which he created, he persevered until! found later some safer forms ia L!c: the explosive could be used. Sine glycerine is a clear, oily, colork-ss, od'r iess, and slightly sweet liquid. It cs: be exploded by the application of fins-, r under a strong blow or shock. It is uut soluble in water, and is thereto r useful in Hubmariue operatiens, a:i blasting in wet ground.

Dynamite is generally us; now for mining operations, aud uide: due precaution it can be handled vl moved with safety. If iguited in tt ' open air it bums quietly without e: Piosion. but if ignited when Inclosed explodea with great violence. It S said not to bt affected by light 01 elec tricity or by heat up to a temper'., of 100 degrees centigrade. An Island That Floats.
