Houses have no terrors for them Approaching, they see their own reflections in the gl of the windows, and mistaking these images for rival males, they dart domitably upon the glass, to back stunned, or bleeding, or broken- winged. I have a south window that I can always rely on in the spring to kill me two birds a week.

A number of suggestions have been made from time to time with a view of disinfecting properly the transmitters of public telephones, but the proposals have usually in- volved a great deal of expense. An Englishman has invented an inex- pensive apparatus which can be fixed to any mouthpiece. . The apparatus consists of a small nickel tube re- sembling a cartridge, which can be half filled with a disinfectant, and which is fixed immediately above the mouthpiece. From the tube a dimin- utive blind, soaking in the disinfect~- ant, is drawn by means of a loop or hook. The little blind is drawn down over the mouthpiece and fast- ened to a button underneath it, so that the user of the telephone speaks through the blind, which springs back and disinfects itself when the subscriber has finished his conversa- tion. The blind is made of ramble fibre which is extremely strong and becomes even stronger when soaked in water. Ordinary linen would Probably wear badly. The blind is inches wide and does not in the least interfere with the sound.

There are machines that will pick the ripened cotton from the plant, but it can hardly be said that, all things considered, there is as yet a “successful’ practical cotton-picker. ill in the experi- mental stage, and there are plenty of cotton raisers who are firmly of the opinion that there will never be any all-round successful cotton-picking machine but the human hand.

Prof. Blau of Germany has dis- covered a new process of developing illuminating gas that may be bought by the bottle at the rate of 15 cents a pound. A 22-pound cylinder at 15 cents a pound would give a 50-can- die power light for four months used four hours a day. That is to say, the cost would be 1 1-7 cents an hour or, say, $1.25 a month, or even less.—Brooklyn Eagle. Future for Egypt. An Egyptian paper says that the na- tive families pay an average tax of $4.65 an acre, 28.5 per cent. of the crop. Foreigners and land companies hold 655,000 acres. Through their in- solvency and liquidation, and the re- distribution of the estates formed since 1902, it is probable that large amounts of gold may be unhoarded. What, Indeed? What is the cruel pleasure which carries sorrow and bitterness to the heart of your brother? Where is the innocency of an amusement whose source springs from _ vices which ought to inspire you with compassion and grief?—Jean Bap- tiste Massillou. Congratulations. At the age of seventy-five when, to everybody's surprise Cranworth was asked to be Chancellor for the second time by Palmerston (who could not endure Roundell Palmer) someone congratulated him with “Well, Cranny, Kingsley is right; it is better to be good than clever.” A mulating Diet Harry Gosney by mistake fed his horse a quantity of poultry food, thinkins the same to be condition the animal.
