It is nsnal to refer the conaumption
of wood to nnch causes m the demand
for bnililiDg ami engineering purposes,
also nnch minor demands as the lucier
iQfttcli and rond-making industries
make. It is true that these are the
principal means by which wood
i consume 1 in this and other conn
tries, but there are countless other
wajs which go to swell the sum total
in no insignifloant degree, and yet
which are left iu comparative obscur
ity, for few persons think of them. As,
for instance, in America tulip-wood is
much used for making wooden bowls,
and for the heads of hair brooms or
sweeping brushes, for eating and drink
ing troughs of cattle, and no inconsid
erable portion furnishes wood for In
dian canoos. One of the principal
UPes of the holly, dyed black, is to be
substituted for ebony, in the handles
of teapots, etc., and the strong,
straight shoots, deprived of their bark,
are made into whip-handles and walking-sticks.
The lime tree forms the
best planks for shoemakers and glovers
upon w. ich to cnt their leather, and is
extensively used in the manufacture of
toys and Tunbridge ware, and by the
turner for pill-boxes, etc., and the in
ner bark is made into ropes and mat
ting. The sycamore furnishes wood
for cheeRe and cider presses, mangles,
etc, and when the wooden dishes and
spoons were in common use they were
mostly made of this wood. It is now
used for printing and bleaching works,
for beetling beams, and in cast iron
foundries for making patterns.' The
yew is usedby the turner, and made in
to vases, snuff-boxes and musical in
struments, and it is a common saying
among the inhabitants of New Forest
that "a post of yew will outlast a post
of iron." Where it is found in suffl
ciont quantities to be employed for
works under ground, such as water
pipes, pumps, eto., the yew will last
longer than any other wood. Gate
posts and stakes of yew are admirable
in woar, and in Frauoe, the wood makes
the strongest of all wooden axle -trees.
Of the beech are made planes, screws,
wooden shovels, and common fowling
pieces, and muskets are also stocked
with it, and beech staves for herring
barrels are not unknown. The sweet or
Spanish chestnut furnishes gate and
other posts, railing and barrel staves,
hop -poles and other such matters, as
strong and good charcoal, though scarce
ly equal to that of oak for domestic
purposes, but considered superior to
that of any other for forges, for which
purpose it is much used in Spain, and al
so in Switzerland. Horn beam is the
best wood that can be used for cogs of
wheels, excelling either the crab or the
yew, but its application in this manner
is about at an end. As a fuel it stands
in the highest rank, emitting much
heat, burning long, and with a bright,
clear flame. In charcoal it is also
highly prized, not only for culinary
purposes and the forge, but also for the
manufacture of gunpowder, into
which, on the Continent, it enters in
large proportion, In Russia, many of
the roads are formed of the trunks of
the Scotch pino, trees from six inches
to a foot in diameter -at the larger end
being selected for the purpose. These
are laid down side by side across the
intended road, the thick end of one al
ternating with the narrow end of the
other, the branches being left at the
end to form a sort of hedge on each
ide of the road. When, thus laid, the
hollows are filled up with earth, and
the road is finished, being analogous to
t he corduroy roads of North America.
In Germany-, casks are made of larch,
which is almost indestructible, and al
lows pf no evaporation of the bpirit
loas particles of the wine contained in
Mwni. In Switzerland it is much used
'or wine props, which are never taken

vines spring np, bear their fruit and
r-erish at their feet, without showing
ymptoms of decay. The uninjured

"icularly those of rice casks, are made
: '.a yorug stocks and of branches not
"iisg one inch in diameter. Its

cedar serves many subsidiary purposes.
From it are fabricated pails, watih-tnbs
and churns of different forms. The
ware is cheap, light and neatly made ;
and instead of becoming dull like other
wood, it grows whiter and smoother by
use. The hoops are made of young
cedars stripped of the bark, and split
into two parts. Th8 wood also supplies
good charooal. The red cedar furnishes
staves, stop-cocks, stakes, and is also
used for coffins.
A few others may be briefly named,

The Cat as a Substitute for the Carrier
Pigeon.
It seems that the Belgians have formed
a society for the mental and moral im
provement of cats. Their first effort
has been to train the cat to do the work
of the carrier pigeons. The most astute
and accomplished scientific person
would have his ideas of locality totally
confused by being tied np iu a meal-bag
and carried twenty miles from home and,
let out in a strange neighborhood, in
the middle of the night. This experi
ment has, however, been repeatedly
tried upon catr of average abilities, and
the invariable result has been that the
departed . animal has reappeared at his
native kitchen door, the next morning,
and calmly ignored the whole affair.
This wonderful skill in traveling through
unfamiliar regions, without a guide-book
or a compass, has suggested the possibil
ity of cats being used as special
messengers. Recently, thirty seven
cats residing in the city of Liege, were
taken in bags a long distance into the
country. The auiinals were liberated
at two o'clock in the afternoon. At 6:48
the same afternoon one of them reached
his home. His feline companions arri
ved at Liege somewhat later; but it is
understood that within twenty four
hours every one had reached his home.
It is proposed to establish, at an early
day, a regular system of cat communica
tion between Liege and the neighboring
village.
Estimating Measures.
It is often useful to have a few ap
proximate data to deduce weights and
measures from. Here is a corrected
table, which however, does not aim at
great accuracy, but may serve to make
a rough estimate when it is necessary to
reduce measures:
A pint of water weighs nearly one
pound and is equal to about twenty
seven cubic inches or a square box three
inches long, three inches wide and
three inches deep.
A quart of water weighs nearly two
puuuus anu is equal io a square box of
about four by four inches and three and
one half inches deep.
A gallon of water weighs from eight to
ten pounds, according to the size of the
gallon, and is equal to a box six by six
inches square, and six, eeven, or seven
and a half inches deep.
A cubio foot of water weighs noarly
sixty-three pounds (more correctly sixty-two
and a half pounds), and contains
from seven to eight gallons, according
to the kind of gallons usod.
A peck is equal to a box eight by
eight square and eight inches deeu.
A bushel almost fills a box twelve by
twelve inches annam. anil t pntr.',im.

worth more than a half days labor, and

Customs of the Cypriotes.
In an article on Cyprus, the territory
aoauired from Tnrkev hv Hnirland an.
cording to the terms of the Berlin treaty.
me uonuon oranaara says: Many of the
customs of the Cypriotes are governed
by the rules of the Roman and Greek
churches, and even up to the present
day the Greeks of the island interweave
with their Mariolatry various super
stitions, the origin of which may be
traced to the old rites of Aphrodite.
As, for example, the custom of offering
doves to the priests. Out of a popular
tion of about 180,000 inhabitants, about
two-thirds are Christian, and rather less
than one-third Mohammedan. The lat
ter, of course, scrupulously adhere to
the precepts of the Koran, and in the
study of this, their sacred volume, find
reason for those customs which have a
religious oharaoter. Thus, at the birth
of a male child a little salt is put into
its mouth, and a few words are repeated
from the Koran, the meaning of which
is; "May the blessing of thy existence
render dear to thee the name of God, to
whom thou oughtest always to give
glory."
For eight days, Mariti tells tis, pre
ceding thJ ceremony of ciroumoision,
the family hold a grand festival, when
they indulge in every kind of pleasure,
and give balls and various kinds of en
tertainments, at which all their relatives
and friends are invited. When the
eventful day arrives the child is clothed
in the richest attire, and is conducted
through the street on A horRA mnof (mud.
ily caparisoned, the standard of Moham
med being carried before it. A band of
musicians Jfollow, and the friends and
relatives close the procession. On
reaching the moBque the people engage
in prayer, and the ceremony itself is per formed
amid universal rejoioing.
Their marriage customs are similar
to those practiced generally by the
Turks. A wife, we are told, may' de
mand a divorce if her husband does
not give her enough to eat, refuses her
money to go to the bath with,or absents
himself from her. Female slaves are
only allowed to claim separation on the
ground of deprivation of the common
necessaries of life. The women, Mari
ti narrates, are guarded with every pos
sible strictness before marriage. Their
lovers often indulge in all kinds of ex
travagances, such as passing twenty
times a day before their windows, and,
in order to attract their attention and
excite their sympathy, they publicly
wound themselves with the poignard
they carry as a token of their devotion.
Referring to the burial customs of the
Cypriotes, we may mention that Gen.
Casnola found in a tomb in Alambra,
which. is about twenty minutes' ride west
of Dali, some little figures, which he
considers to be purposely placed there
to indicate the profession or the sex of
the person buried. These consisted of
models after the image of the Cyprian
Venus, in the earliest stylo of art, horse
men, warriors with shields, and chariots
containing men and women. There
were also spear-heads, daggers, knives,
hatchets, mirrors, needles and circular
bowls.
Speaking in another place of their
ancient modes of sepulture, he tellB ns
that the depth of the tombs averaged
from only five to eight feet; they were
all of one shape, and measured about
eight feet iu diameter. Moistened clay,
mixed with triturated straw, was used
to consolidate the walls and root of the
cavity, so as to prevent the earth from
fallinsr in. A nlatfnrm ma1 a rf aim-
dried bricks was then built round, its
inner base, noon which f l. rlon.i
placed, with their heads turned in the
direction oi the entrance. In some
cases a reversed plate, made of earthen
ware, was placed under the head,
evidently meant as a pillow. The
Cypriotes are not without their
stitions. In some parts mav hA faring
the Lignum Cyprinum, called also the
rose-wooa, irom which they obtain fine
periumea on; this, and the wood too,
they believe fortifies the heart and
brain. The common people cut off the
wood and bark together, tnast it. in tha
fire, and then suck it, as it - is regarded
as a sovereign speoiflo against fever,
and is supposed to have a miraculous
effect.
Among the venomous animals theie
is a serpent which the Greeks call ko
phias, from a notion that it is deaf ; but
this, eays Mariti, is by no means the
case, ior the mowers drive it away by
little bells, which they fasten to their
scythes. There is a Greek family in
which the power of curing the person
bitten is said to be hereditary. The
plant ladany (the Cistua ledon) is be
lieved to have magical properties. The
peasantry carry it in their hands and
smell it, under a notion that this will
serve as a charm against the plague.
The smoke of it, too, is considered good
ior me eyes.

book iu his hand. lie was working

leaned over and said: What's the

" I dou't know !" was the reply.
Then there was a few moments of

proached andasked :
"What innings is this!"
"Don't know;" was the sullen re-
"Oh, you don't?" said the querist,

lie had no more than recovered from
the shock than another man Walked over
to him and inquired :
" Was that last a two, or a throe base

This made the young man mad, and he
replied not.
The inquirer passed, and he enjoyed
five minutes peace when a ragged little
gamin stepped up to him and yelled:
" Sny, mister, how many runs ahead ore
the Jersey's?"
Then a man asked him which paper
ho represented, and, while he was sim
mering with rage, another fellow walked
up to him to make some inquiry,but,bo
foro he conld open his mouth to do so,
the man with the memorandum book cut
him short by jumping up and scream
ing: " I don't know the score; I don't
know what inning it is; I don't know a
