There is nothing better, probably
nothing so good, for mixing with poultry
droppings, as road dust gathered in sea
son and stored in a dry place for time of
need. Tut it a barrel or box in alter
nate layers, using about twice as much
dust as droppings, and mix before using
by pounding the mass together in a
kettle or on a tight floor.
A successful English practice is to
keep fowls in portable houses, which are
moved from field to flflM nn fna form
whenever insect food or the waste of
gathered crops is plenty. Mention is
made of a gardener who has long, nar
row, bottomless coops in each of which
he places a hen or two, or a mother and
chickens, and Bets them down between
bis rows of growing plants, and moves
them from time to time. Insects are
thus captured, and there is a good deal
of helpful scratching.

One of the WntlilWfnl nrnrlcmTio f
nature is the existence of certain beetles
witn the function of digging graves for
dead rats, moles, birds, and other small
creatures left upen the surface of the
enrth, and the effluvia from which
might be offensive and baleful. Beetles
of this kind are known the Nccropho-

side. This was accomplished by leaning
onuugij upon ineir collars, Denoting
down their neads. and working with sin
gleness of purpose. After laboring for
neariy two nours, one oi the beetles was
driven away and not allowed to work
again. This, Mr. Glcditch concluded,
was a female as it was smaller than the
others, which continued their labor,

himself, stiffened his collar, and by an
extraordinary effort nt ukmncrtli liftjxl
up the bird and arranged it within the
spacious grave. In three days the grave
was finiBhe3, arid the bird Bafely deposit-
w wihum us narrow limits.
During a space of fifty days these busy
workers interred the bodies of four frogs,
three small birds, two grasshoppers, and
one mole. This singular occupation,
which continues from the middle of
April until the end of October, proceeds
from an instinctive desire for the pres
ervation of their offspring. Eggs deposit
ed by the parent in the substances whioh
they inter, when hatched, produce larvw,
which, feeding on the carrion which
surrounds them, grow to an inch in
length. These in their turn change into
yellow chrysalids, and lastly into beetles;
and the latter, when emerged from the
earth, begin to dig graves and inter
dead animals for the benefit of another
generation.
In September, 1877, the writer had
unexpectedly an opportunity of making
the acquaintance of these curious in
sects. Two of the grave-digging beetles
made their appearance in one of two un-der-gronnd
kitchens, in the window of
which stood a very large pot filled with
mould prepared for the reception of
plant-cuttings. To this pot yie inseots
made their way, and at once began cast
ing up the earth. On being observed,
they were provided with a dead mouse,
and set to work exactly in the manner
described by Mr. Gleditch; but as soon
as they became tired and rested from
their labor, they were carried into the
adjoining kitchen and placed close to the
fire-place. The following morning dis
covered them again at work, having
traveled to their former quarters during
the night; and again they labored per
Beveringly till the body of the mouse
gradually disappeared. At the end of
the second day it. was neatly covered in,
and the. insects were again turned out of
their home and a train nlaed in tliA bant
kitchen. Meanwhile the body of the
iuuubu was removed; out on the follow
ing morning the beetles had returned to
their flower-not. and
ing in search of the dead mouse, throw
ing out nearjy the whole or the mould in
their untiring efforts. Finally, as a re
ward for their industry and persever
ance, they were transferred to the gar
den and placed close to the dead mouse,
whioh they at once began to bury afresh.

The writer is 'responsible for the asser

This is not remarkable, inasmuch as both
France and Englaud are greatly interest

mercially and otherwise, as they, propone
to seize her at no distant day, perhaps.
French interests in Egypt have led to
French collections of curiosities and al
most priceless articles from the strange
land of the rharaohs,and any one who is
at all pleased with Egyptian art may here
feast the vision upon it In the long
semi-circular galleries in the Trocadero
Pulsoe a vast space is given to the ethno
graphy of Egypt, and to pictures illus
trative of the life of its varied and singu
lar peoples; and not tar from the Soine's
bank is a palaoo, built in the style with
which every one has become so familiar,
either from having seen it on the stage,
in imitation, or on the Nile in reality.
Within this palace are numerous cham
bers, where very practical subjects are
treated, such as the growth and culture
of Egyptian cotton; the construction
and management of the Suez oanal; the
improvements made under the rule of the
present khedive, who, although a thor
ough rascal in flnanoe, is a benefactor to
his own land; and a room specially
adapted to the uses of the '-' Interna

Christian era. Everything is here
navigation, construction of ships, agri
culture, workers in ivory and marble,
hunters, fishermen, and toilers at pyra
mids and temples of those times. In
the gallery of retrospective arts the
walls are, for long distances, covered
with these curious tables, which hold
popular attention much more readily
than do the beautiful majolicas of Italy
or the tapestries of Spain. At intervals
are placed the sombre Egyptian deities,
with hands crossed upon their knees and
their eyes looking straight on into the
centuries through which they seem to
last, as if they really were endowed with
immortal life. Arab art is here repre
sented in a very large degree by riohly

ornamented lamps for mosques and deli
cately cut ivory work. The Egyptian

find it The French journals are filled
with complaints against the Eng

seated themselves at the very door of

that the movement for seizure may come

Fashion Notes
"The small round turban is again worn
by young ladies.
Lace bonnets for young ladies are
made of silk covered with lace, almost
like babies' caps.
New bonnets are seen in lilac-colored
straw, and are trimmed with bunches of
white and purple lilacs.
Large buckles of pearl, like those
worn generations ago, are fashionable
for the wide belts so popular.
Pins for the hair are ornamental balls.
Some are of red gold and others are of
the palest yellow Roman gold.
New silver ear-rings are in the shape
of a sailor's hat, with a pair of oars con
nected by a slender silver cable.
Collars and cuffs on thin dresses are
made of shirring, and yokes and vests
are sometimes similarly composed.
Small white handkerchiefs, with the
edges scolloped and wrought with a
color, are formed. into pretty pleated
bows for the throat, to wear with morn
ing dresses.
The Breton dress was so beoominar
and pretty that the ladies are loth to
give it up, and sinoe fashion has decreed
it may no longer be worn, the style is
used in underwear.
New' linen-lawn and muBlin dresses
are made with yoke waist, the yoke en

A Horrible Tragedy,
A horrible tragedy, by whioh six per
sons lost their lives and buffered the
most excruciating torture, recently oc
curred at Scharbeck, near Brussels. It
appears that soon after midnight the in
habitants at the top of Josephat street
were awakened by a tremendous noise
like the firing of cannon. Immediately
flames were seen issuing from a horn e
inhabited by a druggist and his wife
named Molke-Deuis. While the police
and the excited populace were endeavor
ing to put out the flumes and- to remove
the infl'immable materials, another re
port, louder than the first, was heard,
aud six perRous who lived in the interior
of the bonne rushed into the street ntter-
ng fearful cries. They were enveloped
in flames, and resembled living torches
more thau human beings. They were
immediately attended to by those on the
spyt, who rolled them in blankets and
manuged at last to put out the fire. One
man, named Moreau, of herculean
strength, who like the rest rushed out
of the houHe one mass of fire, suddenly
seized hold of his left hand, whioh was
causing him intense sgony, and pulled
it right off. This man was a stone
cutter, and previous to losing his hand
he had thrown himself against the front
of the house with snob violenoe that he
wan thrown backward and his head al
most smashed. The wife of Molke was
being assisted out of the window when
Bhe lost her presence of mind, and fell
to the ground, breaking her leg in the
fall. That catastrophe was made still
more serious by the efforts of a party of
relief, who rushed into the house at the
risk of their own lives to save an old
woman who wai uttering the most fran
tic cries. They unlnckily happened to
upset on enormous jar of petroleum, and
were instantly enveloped in flames. The
names of .hose who succumbed are Emil
Molke, seventy five years of age, drug
gist, and ronater of the house; Govaats,
aged thirty-five years, father of four
children; Morean, forty, father of two
children; Auguste Verhoeven, seventeen
years old, druggist's apprentice. Two
others were fatally burned. All suffer
ed the most excruciating tortures, as
when the flames were put out they were
only one living sore.

A Balm fob Every Wound. Grace's Balve
is now so generally used for the cure of Flesh
Wounds, Cuts, Barns, Ulcers, Felons, Sprains,
and all diseases of the skin, that praise of it
seems almost needless. Those who have tried
it once always keep a box on band and. nothing
will induce them to be without a supply.

Since the reduction of the rat per day to
tl.00 there bas been an inorease in numbers,
and it would appear this was a most judicious
move. The Windsor was never more attractive

BOOTHINQ BYliUP has been used for children
with never failing success. It oorreoU acidity
of the stomach, relieves wind eolio, regulates
the bowels, cures dysentery and diarrhoea,
whether arising from teething or other causes.
An old and well-tried remedy. 25 ots. a bottle.
It is a dangerous thing to allow the diarrhoea
or dysentery to go unchecked and there is no
need of it. A small bottle of Johnson's Ano
dyne Liniment will cure the most stubborn
case that can be produced.
Fever and ague, malarious fever, bilious and
typhoid fevers all originate in one producing
cause and may all be easily prevented by Par
sons' Purgative 1'ills. Those pills act directly
and powerfully upon the blood.
