Though Englishmen were {oo sensible
and too loyal to pay heed to inane tat
tle about this burly Scotchman, they
were annoyed during his lifetime by the
constant association of his name with
the royal household. They were weary
of hearmg anecdotes abont his arrogance
and officiousness, and of seeing his name
in the coart circulars and the society
journals, They breathed more freely
when his decease was announced, think-
ing that they had heard the last of John
Brown. They little knew to what lengths
the queen's commemorative mania
would carry her. Here are marble
tablets in the celebrated chapel conse-
crated to royalty, and, in the vaults
where lie the ashes of England's kings:
and yonder in the Highlands, almost
face to face with the prince consort, is
to stand the life-sized statue of

Adalterated Tea,

Few people, while engaged in
strengthening their nerves with a cup
of toa, imagine they are swallowing pul-
verized charcoal, bone-black, clay, terra
alba, pulverized soap-stone, tale, Pros
sian blue, gravel, and other undesirable
commolities, Such is the
tific experts employad by the New York
board of health have found in the green
teas sold in that city, The best grades
of black teas are pronounced the safest,
and the verdict is rendered that “none
of the green teas are pure.”

Ornamental Teeth,
[Popular Science News, |
The teeth, we are told, rarely escape
beautifying among the negroes of
equatorial Africa; for they file the
edges into notches, in some cases, until
they resemble the serrations in a saw,
The Africans, however, are excelled by
the Malays in their artistic treatment of
the teeth; for not only do they stain
them black, but the latter file them into
fantastic shapes. And in Borneo an
elaborate process is adopted: the front
surface of each tooth being drilled in
the centre, and a round or star shaped
knob of brass inserted in the hole.
These knobs are kept bright by the ac-
tion of the lip, and are supposed to be
highly attractive,
