Who Pat ot the Tea Parly t Ono day, when I was a email girl, my little Bister Katy and I found in the yard a dry-goods box, in which the new car pets had been sent home. As tiaral, we ran to where grandma sat knitting and nodding : Oli, grandma, mayn't we have it ? " cried I. " Yet hab it, dranma? " echoed Katy. You know we never had a baby house." ' No, nebber had no baby-'ouse." " Oh, say yes ! " "Ay etlr' "Do, do!" ' Pede do! " Then before she knew what she was to do, or say, or what she never had done, or said, we coaxed her to the back door and pointed to our treasure. She couldn't refuse us, and the box was given to us. John made us & card-board chimney, and cut -a square window in either end, for, of course, we set it on its feet, turn ing its back to the lane against whose fence it stood, looking into the yard. Grandma gave us red curtains for the windows, and a big striped apron, which hung across the front and did for a door. We had to have a door, for, when we took tea, the chickens came, without invitation, peeping inside, look ing for crumbs. And, seeing what looked like a party, down flew, with a ' whir and rustle, a flock of doves, saying, ' Ooo-oo ! how do-oo-do ! " and prink ing themselves in our very faces. Yes, we really had too many of these surprise parties ; for, another time, it was a wasp that came to tea, and flew from me to Katy, and from Katy to me, till we flew, too, to hide our heads in grandma's lap. ' Then she gave us the apron, which was very grand, though the blue stripes ' were walking into the red ones, and there were a good many little holes which let small arrows of Heht flv out. That was when we lightedthe chande- her, and they (the holes and the arrows) were the very things to let people know what grand doings there were inside. Then, when our crockery was arrange ed on the shelf at the back, a stool set in the middle for a table, our two small green chairs placed one at either end, and a good many nails driven into the "walls ' to serve as nooks tnen we gave a party. The dolls were invited, of course, and their invitations Katy wrote on her slate. To be sure, the letters looked a good deal like Jack and Jill climbing up hill and tumbling down again still the dolls understood us. There were no little girls invited, because little girls comldn t have squeez ed in unless they were willing to be hung up like the extra dollies. But oh ! wouldn't they have liked to go? We had ice-cream, just made of vanilla, cream-candy, and water deli ' cious ! Then there was a whole tea-potful of chocolate-tea, which was a chocolate- creatc drop scraped fine and mixed with water. Do iunt try it sometime. Thim ble-biscuits, too, and holes with cookies round them. 1 never expect to be as happy again as I was when I dropped the curtain at naif -past lour precisely. and lighted the chandelier, which I for got to say was a candle cnt in two, stuck in cologne-bottles of different shapes ai.d colors. We well knew for didn t we go out twice to look? how splendidly the light streamed tnrongn tne two windows and the eight holes. Why, the chickens knew it, too, on their perches, for they opened one sleepy eye alter another, nolemnly changed leg, and dozed off 'gain. These long rays of light, plav- 1 ig truant, ran down the lane and flashed iuto the eyes of naughty Billy Qainn, .ho was going borne from a visit, whist i ncr, aud with his hands in his pockets, Of course the dolls arrived promptly, rid took off their shawls in the bed om, which was that convenient shelf iuat was turned into anything on short uotice. The baby-dolls had to go early io bed under tne taoie, and you can lm agrae how much pleasanter it is to say, " Bed-time, children !" than have it said yon. Mrs. Green was a perfect little l rs.

Indeed, their yells under pun anient were heart-rending; but when .he was only dear Katy she was tender Li one of those cooing doves. tio we ate up the ice cream, and turned t tie tea-pot upside down to squeeze out the last drop of chocolate-tea.

Yes, the beau tiful house was tipped over, and the tea si rlj put out, as an extinguisher is j'ped over a candle, or a hat clapped u a butterfly. Inside, there was a 'med heap, with legs uppermost logs, chair-legs, little legs in white n, and, mixed hopelessly up with dolls, the dishes, the candles. Tuis heap, however, was silent only for a moment. Then, a feeble crv stmc gled up through it a cry which, reach ing ine upper air, grew louder, doubled itself, became two cries, and rushed out through a window, which, having lost its way, was where the roof ought to be. Then growing fast and shrill, the cry ran toward the house, waking up the Brown baby, who at once joined in. The roost er waked suddenly, and feeling that something had happen, d, thought it could do no harm to crow, and that agi tated his household to the last hen. Then to the cackling and crowing, Beppo added a bark of duty, and nearly turned inside out, tugging at his chain, and howling between times. The canary began his scales, and the scream grew and grew and rushed into the house through every door and window. Uncle John was reading the paper, but, hear ing the fearful uproar he dashed into the yard, tnrned back the house with one hand, with the other picked out from the heap of legs all the white ones, and dragged us from the wreck of our residence. It was quickly done, but not too soon, for a little flame, which was hiding under the close mass of ruins, now hopped merrily up on the tarletan skirts of Alice Isabella, the prettiest of the dolls. While we were being taken to prrandma to be cried over and comforted, and the poor old house lav on its side forsrotten. that flame finished off poor dolly, ran up to the roof, ate up the red striped curtain in the twinkling of an eye, and, in fact, made short work of the whole thing. We knew nothinsr of this that night, but were bo honored and indulged as to make us think that everything else had turned a new leaf as well as the house, ike next morning. Grandma, comma into the breakfast-room, was called to the window by Uncle John, who was looking at something in the yard. There was a forlorn little figure sitting on a log among the charred embers of the burnt'house. It was I, sobbing as if my hear would break, and beside me was Katy, who stood sadly by, trying with the corner of her apron to dry my icuru. us uer eyes were wei loo, ana in the fat aims were squeezed a leg and shoe, which was all that was left of Alice Isabella. What wicked eve had watched the festivities through the window, or what cruel heart had yielded to the tempta tion to turn over the house upon it all. we never knew. I heard that Billy Qainn was punished that night for coming home late to supper, and now looking impartially at the matter over an these years, i am inclined to think it was that very Billy Qainn, and no other, who put out the tea-party. St. Nicho las. Disinfecting Fonl ffaces. The Boston Scientific Aeu calls at tention to the importance at this season of getting rid of all vile smells about dwellings, and makes this practical suggestion : The article commonly used to disinfect foul places is chloride of lime, but in realitv it is not of much value. It may. and generally does, re move bad smells, but the cause still remains, as the chloride simply de stroys the gaseous emanations. The much advertised disinfectants are usually catchpenny nostrums and unworthy of nonce, une oi tne very best known disinfectants is old-fashioned "cop- Eeras," or sulphate of iron, which can e had very cheap. A barrel of cop peras would weie-h probably 300 pounds. and can bo purchased at wholesale price at a cent and a naif per pound. And every family ought, especially in warm weatner, to nave a supply of it on hand. A couple of handfuls of copperas thrown into a bucket of water will soon dissolve, and it can then be used freely, and is a valuable disinfectant. The best plan is to nil a nan barrel or keg with water, and suspend within it a moderate sized basket full of copperas. In this way it dissolves more rapidly than when thrown to tne bottom of tne wooden vessel, and thus a supply is always at hand ready iur una, A Spanish Prison.

Cartas Wedrilna; Castssar the Japaarae The " lower orders of the Japanese employ some married couples to make matches for their sons, and these agents are called nakodos, or go-betweens. Betrothal sometimes takes plaoe in the infancy or childhood of parties, but it is very often deferred till they are old enough to wish to have some voice in the matter themselves, which, however, is denied them if they have parents liv ing. When, by reason of the death of his parents, a young man is left free to manage the matter in his own behalf, he chooses a pair of go-betweens from among the friends and acquaintances, and through them makes inquiries for a suitable helpmate, and when they re port the discovery of one, he sends them to solicit the hand of her parents. If the proposal suits her parents the bargain is made, and by their conniv ance a meeting is arranged to take place between the young people at some tea house, unless they already know each other by sight, where the betrothed can only cast sly glances at each other, but are permitted to hold no conversa tion, as that in the present state of affairs would be a breach of Japanese etiquette. In arranging matters for the wadding, fixing the day for it, etc, other go-be-tweeus are employed, whose office ex pires only when the two are made one. First, the young bridegoom sends the go-betweens with the presents to the bride-elect. These may consist of a variety of things, varying according to the taste and ability of the bridegroom. or his parents, provided only that cer tain things are in the number; as, for instance, some edible seaweed, and no shi, or strips of .dried and powdered awabi. The preparation of the latter is made chiefly in the department of Ise. If noshi cannot be obtained, a kind of dried iish will answer the purpose. But, whether the presents be few or many, the bridegroom must send a writ ten list of the articles along with them, for which a specified form is furnished in the Japanese works on tlie subject. These presents being received, and the wedding-day being fixed between the bride'B parents and the go-betweens, nothing remains to be done but to await the appointed time. Meanwhile the bride and her family are occupied in preparing the numerous presents to be made by them to the parents and relatives of the bridegroom on the night ox the wedding. ii . . ii . in tne evening oi tne aay sot Tor tne nuptial ceremony, the bride, dressed throughout in white (the color of mourn ing in Japan), is escorted in the pango or norimon (palanquin) by her parents and invited relatives to the house of the bridegroom. At the present day she is met in the entrance of the house by cer tain females employed to receive her. called machi joo-roo, who conduct her into a separate apartment where she takes a little rest. It should be stated that she left her father's house having her head covered with watabooshi, a cap made of floss silk, which entirely con ceals the head and faoe from view, and is not removed until she has become a wife. When a sufficient time has elapsed for the bride to refresh herself, both she and the bridegroom proceed separately to the best room, where the young man seats himself at one end of the tokeno- ma, a sort of open closet or recess in the wall opposite to the entrance, which is considered the most honorable place in the Japenese house. And the young lady takes her seat at the opposite end of the tokonoma. The go-betweens, also sit down, the male by the bridegroom and the female by the bride.' Two other attendants, male and female, usually young persons, each bearing a vessel witn a long handle used as a receptacle for sake, are likewise present to wait upon the bride and bridegroom and nil their cups. The long-handled flasks have a paper butterfly fastened to each; a large and small one represent a male and female butterfly. The attendants who bear them are therefore called by these names, and the ideas expressed by the symbol is, that as butterflies always go in pairs, so the husband and wife should accompany each other through life with a like constancy. Between the bride and groom is placed a tray bearing three lacquered enps, one upon another, the smallest at the top The two butterflies pour a little sake from both their flasks into the upper most cup, while the bridegroom holds it to be filled, grasping it with both hands. He then sips the wine three times in a slow, formal manner, and passes it to the bride, who takes it in her hands and takes three similar sips under cover of her veil, when she hands the cup to the female butterfly, who sets it aside. The second cup and the third are filled and emptied in like manner, so that each party drinks nine times. Hence the ceremouy is called san-san-kudo, and forms the most important part of the nuptial rites, for it makes the parties husband and wife. While this drinking is going on one or two male singers are seated behind the screen in the same room, chanting songs of congratulation to the happy pair. They are now mar ried, and the bride and groom proceed to another room, where they pay their respects to their parents by drinking sake togemor; nominally, but not really, going through the san-san-kudo again. After that they are conducted to another room, where the bride removes her veil and exchanges her white dress for one of bright and gay colors, and the groom puts on the kami-shimo, or Japanese lull-dress, distinguished by the wing like shoulder-pieces, and full trousers. and then again they drink to each other three times three cups, in natural con gratulation at the happy change that has come over them, as indicated by tneir cnange oi uress. This being done, there follows a feast to all in the house, who assemble in one room, and regale themselves with the fare that is set before them; and, having kept up the festivities till about the dawn of day, the wedding party breaks up. Three days after the bride usually pays a visit to her own parents, when another entertainment is made, to which the relatives of the family are invited. Henceforth the married woman is re garded as haying been absorbed, as it were, into the family of her husband, and to have surrendered her relationship to her father's house. Her duty to her father-in-law and mother-in-law super sedes all the obligations of filial piety. The common people, in their' mutri- monia 1 rites, endeavor to ape as far at possible their superiors, the daimios and other great people of the land. Japan rse Times.

Krall's Garden at Berlin. A lady writing to the Boston Traveler describes pleasantly a visit to Krall's Garden, Berlin, which is said to eolipse the Mabille, of Paris, aa far in respect to general attractions as in point of re spectability. For a ticket, costing eighteen cents, one has the full privilege of the grounds, more tastefully arranged than anything X ever saw before; a large industrial exhibition, where all sorts of Berlin goods can tie bought, and a grand opera. The garden is threaded with gas-jets in every direction, forming flowers, musical instruments and every possible pretty design, and immense mirrors here and there extend the vari ous promenades far beyond their real length, and constantly create deceptions. We walked, lunched and enjoyed me opera "Rigoletto" very much, there being two unusually Hue singers in the piece, who were called out time after time. We followed the German fashion of going out in the garden between the acts, promenading and making small purchases and when the bell rings flock ing in to see the next act. At the close they go out again to enjoy the grand illumination, which is really very beau tiful. This garden being only a com fortable walk from any of the hotels (just beyond the Brandenburg gate) is a delightful resort for anybody, and mnst be well patronized by the Germans. Let me simply mention one family out of the many we noticed here. About four o'clock a lady handsomely dressed came in with three small children, each with a nurse, the youngest, a babe, being in the arms of a fully-costumed peasant woman, such as I described at Oassel, with her full, round arms entire ly bare and her face as fresh and bright and cheery as a mountain maiden s. After promenading for a while they took a table, and each nurse had a glass of beer. They chatted, the children play ed, and lunch, bronght in a basket, was given tnem. At o:iu, wnen tne opera commenced, they were all there, went out at intermissions, and returned with he children asleep; and so, I suppose. remained all the evening. It is to be hoped the husband 'and father came to see them home. Paris Shops. A Paris letter says: There is a very curious commercia" feature about I'arir , I said to a Dane by birth, and a cosmo politan by nature, " I see no wholesale houses here." He replied, "There are none," which was certainly a good rea son for my not having seen them. He added: "My dear sir, the Frenchman has no idea of a rebate for a quantity. If you are asked one franc for one bot tle of wine you will be asked teu thous and francs for ten thousand bottles, or a million francs for a million bottles. In the rc tail business they look upon trade with this solitary retail eye. Thirty centimes for some little lace edging per yard. Two hundred yards of it could not be bonght a centime less per yard than was asked for one yard. The last was a personal experience, while a looker on, where three women were being struck dumb with this monstrous idea. French manufacturers, of course, have their agenoies here, perhaps, occupy ing a little room, but in all Paris one can not find a jobbing bouse, a big wholesale commission house, or anything resem bling a stock of goods for sale at whole. sale prices.

ADont tiiirty-two years ago, Bchon bein, a German chemist, bad occasion to immerse cotton in a mixture of concen trated and sulphuric acids. To his sur prise he noticed that the cotton did not dissolve. Taking it nnd washing off the acid he placed it in a drying oven to dry. Oa returning the next moruing no cot ton was to be seen. As the students in his laboratory affirmed that they had not meddled, ho wondered much as ta what had become of it. ne tried the experiment again, and this time had the good fortune to witness the disappear ance ot mo cotton. no had discovered gun cotton. This is a very curious substance, al though It does not differ in appearance from ordinary cotton. It is, however, a tnuo heavier. Htrange to say, the mnn ner in which fire is applied to this. causes it to burn very differently. Touoh it with a live coal or lighted cigar, and it burns away very slowly, much like tho mixtures used to produce the coloied fires of Fourth of July nights; apply a flame to it, and it explodes like gun-powder, but if you fire it by means of a fulminating cap it explodes with terrific violence, and a rapidity six or seven times greater. But there is another substance which explodes even more terribly still. It is n:-tro-glyct rine. This is produced somewhat similarly to gun cotton, with the excep tion that glycerine is used instead of cot ton, these substances being very much alike in chemical composition. Nitro glycerine is a dense, oily liquid, which has a very safe and harmless appearance, but in reality it is something terrible. A small quantity placed upon a huge bonkler and fired, will blow it into a thousand pieces, whereas, with gunpow der the result would have been merely a flash, and a great puff of wind and smoke. You wonder perhaps, how it is that nitro glycerine merely placed upon a stone and exploded, can possibly break it, as you think that the air will give way so much sooner than the stone. Now the rapidity with, which the gas formed by the combustion of nitro-glyoerine expands is a hundred times that of a cannon ball, and the atmosphere offers more resistance to a body moving at that rate tnan the stone beneath it. Nitro glycerine, in some of its forms is the agent almost universally employed in blasting. Without it many of the great railway tunnels and other feats of en gineering would havo been imp jss ble. Ihe compounds of nit ro-glycerine aio many. Mixed with tnpoli or rotten- stone it becomes dynamite, or " cie-in-a- minute, as Borne vag has facetiously termed it; this adulterated with nitrate of soda or potash is known as Riant powder. When nitro-glycerine is mixed with gunpowder, in a very finely divided state, it is called rend-rock powder; with sawdust, dnalin. These are. however. all adulterations, and weaken the power of the explosive. New lor Tribune, Fashion Notes. Sleeves in the latest imported drosses are made larger than usual.
