The Ixjadcn Truth says :â€" AccorJingtoa weekly cooteinporary, "it may not be gen- erally known that "the Qaeen invaria.bly takes her own bed -with her wherever she may be travelling." People would infer from this statement that her majesty's "own bed" forms a part of the royal bag- gage. The Queen always sleeps in beds of precisely the snme pattern and made up in exactly the same way. Tey are all manu- factured at Windsor C latle, and there is one with accessories at each royal residenc: in this country, at tbe Viili HoheLlohe at Baden, at Rosenau, near Coburg. and on board tiie Victoria uiid Albert. When the Queen pays a visit or gees abroad, a bed on the usual pattern is made and dispatched from Windsor in .navanc-f^ to be in readmess for her. One was sent li^t year to Meu- tone, and ihve years okrlicr another went to Baveno.

The seal, furbishing the lich fur, a cloak of which is an article dt-ar 'o the heart of fashionable wonnen, inhabits both theArctic and the Antarctic seas. (;reenland, Xew- foundianrl, the Baltic, ami the .southern polar shores, all supply a quota of these much sought after animals. From a paper in the last Quarterly Review, a very readable paper, by tbe way, we get a. sketch of a dis- trict wh-ch yirl Is many of the "Far Seals of Commerce." The scene is the Pribylov Islands, two small specks of land situated on the eastern sideof Bshriug'ssea, and ceded in 1SG7 by llussia, along with the adjoining mainland Alaska, to the Uuite.l States Government. Tlie iflaiids are but a few square miles in area their population iu ISSO was but T/JD, and ' yet the annual revenue they yield to the American exchequer is over l'50,C00, to wiiich sum falls to be added the handsome profics realized by the company to whom the islands are let. This result has been achieved by one of the most provi- dent and far-seeing pieces of state manage- ment that the history of the commercial world affords. The isia,nd3 are the home ilufing six months of the year of multitudes of the fur seals of commerce. The number has been estimated on reliable statistical grounds as 4,700,000. This number is kept practically constant by the effective protec- tion of the i "imals.

Tile antisept'c properties of carbolic acid have long been known, and this substauca, iu its liquid state, is extensively used in operations by surgeons. As anon-poisonous dijiafeutant the acid, in a vaporized condi- tion, is said to be invaluable ia hospitals and sick-rooms, and the following is a simple plan recommended by Messrs, F. C. Calvert Co., of .Manchester, the manufacturers not only of the .acid, but also of a carbolic va- porizer, for the use of which apparatus de- tailed particulars are given. Place an ordinary house shovel over the fire until it becomes thoroughly hot (but not red hot) then take it to the centre of the room and pour in the shovel an ounce (back of each bottle is graduated in ounces) of No. 4 or No. 5 carbolic lean the shovel so that no fluid can fall to the floor, and the carbolic will be readily given off in vapor sulHcient to fill an ordinary room. This will disinfect the air of the room, and as genuine carbolic (more properly called phenol or phenylic acid) is not a mineral corrosive acid, the vapor ia no .way will injure pic- tures, metals, or fabrics. It is highly bene- ficial in many infectious diseases, and having been suffijiently proved to benefit lungs afllcted by tubercle, it may be safely inhaled to a reascnable extent, and it can be diluted if weaker vapor is wanted. The No. 4 fluid can be more easily tolerated beoause cf its exira purity, and te many its odor is decid- edly pleasant, if not excessively employed. Diily use of this process is strongly recom- mjnded when infectious diseases are present Of feared, and it will be found serviceable ia case of whooping-cough. The vapor is net at all inflammable unless the shovel be ii.ade red hot or held within two feet of fire or I'ght, and the fluid will not injure carpets; but it should not be allov/ed to lull upon oil-clotli.s, painttd cr varnished wood- work or Paruituri' It any raw carbolic acid should fall en the skin, it mus" promptly b,' rubbed olF with a dry cloth, snd the affected parts well rub- be I with oil.

A small apparatus is placed in the mouth of the speaker â€" in con- tact with the roof of his mouth, his tongue and lips â€" and on beiag connected with an electro-magnetic registering apparatus the sounds are committed to paper. It is con- structed iu such a manner as not to cause any inconvenience to the speaker neither is it necessary that the voice should be raised, as it reproduces a whisper as exactly as a shoLt the only condition is a correct and distinct articulation. According to the inventor's calculation, it will be possible to write f jur or five times as fast by means of the gloasograph as has hithcrto'been possible even by the ijaickest writer. At first sight it appears as if this iivcntion were but an iniproveinnt upon Edison's phonograph it is, however of a much older date. It rests, unlike tl.e former, on acouitic principle, and d'M s not reproduce the sounds in a mi- crc'coj^crLl form.

A contributor to a London scientific pa per writes 'Tne poet has said, 'The toid wears yet a precious jewel in its head,' However beautiful, it cannot surpass, in lustre and beanty of setting, the eye of the flea (Pidex irltans). When viewed under a power o'i 200 or 30O diameters by reflected light, it presents a crystalline lens about 1,.')00 of an inch in diameter, surrounded by a dark brown or black rim, and sunk in a depression of rich chitinons covering of the head. If the light be judiciously applied, this combinition of bright light in the lens with the middle tint of the surrounding yel- low skeloton of the head and the darU sup- plied by the black rimâ€" these being har- mon;z3d and blended by the shade and shadow of the depression, and assisted by the harmonious curve which bounds it don- sal marginâ€" presents a combinatioo worthy the study of the trained eye of the artiat." It is to be feared that even its lovely eye will scarcely reconcile the Pulex irltans to those on whom it dine*.

" I-;dinboro Old Town," by Andrew laug, is the opening paper in the January Century. I'ennell's clever sketches supplement finely Mr. J-iing'd picturesque decriptions. .Many romantic stories of the castle are told, among thein the following " If ' sinne ' could sink town and tower, Edinburgh would centuries since have been with ' Memphis and Bibyloa and either Thebes.' In those eld times, w.hen a Scotch prince hated a man, he very commonly acted on the maxim, ' If you want a thing well done, do it yourself,' and dirk- ed his foe with his own hand. This was the custom of the i)ak.. of Albany, brother of James II L, who 8k-. .lohn of Soougal, and in other ways so couducted himself that, in 1482, he was cousigiied to prison in the Castle. Thence Alb.iny deemed that he was not likely to come forth alive, especially as his brother Mar had mysteriously vanished â€"so mysteriously, indeed, that even now the manner of Mar's fate is unknown. Al- bany's friends sent a small ship to wait in the har'oor of Leith, and a hamper of wine easi- ly found admission to Albany's rooms iu the Castle. The hamper contained ropes as well as wine, and when Albany had made his keepers drunk with the liquor, had*li,ked them, and thrown their mail-clad bodies to grill on the tire, he escaped to the ship at Leith by aid of the ropes. Bat the favorite way of escaping had a bland and child-like simplicity. The captive's wife paid him a v.s:t;, the pair exchanged clothes, and the prisoner walked out in the lady's petticoats ' This old trick was played ia the Castle as often as the ' confidence trick ' in the capi- tals of niodern civilization. Apparently it never missed fire, and we may conclude that in every case the turkeys were bribed. Tne only prisoner of note who ever failed was the first Marquis of Argyll, in 1601. The Marchioness came to sse him in a sedan chair he assumad her dress and coif, and stepped into the sedan. But presently he lost heart and stepped out again, though what he was afraid of it is diflScult to guess He could only die ones, his execution was certain, and he might as well be shot privately, m the attempt to ran away, as be decapitated publicly in the town where the great Montrose, his enemy, was done to death. W^hen the Marquis's son, in his turn, was confined in the Castle, his ready bram conceived the novel idea of escaping not in the dr6ss of a lady, but in that of the lackey of his daughter-in-law. He let the lady's train drop in the mud, whereon, with the wit and cooinsss of a daughter of tbe Lindsays, she switched the dripping silk in his face, crying, ' Thou careless loon.' Then the soldiers laughed, and Argyll, for that time got clean away." • '~- â-  Lord Lome haa been trying to acolimaTize the Canadian moose in Scotland, but the experiment ia a faUure.

Cleveland was bom in Cinada and went to sea in his sixteenth year. After serving for several y«ars on the ••Frederick F.," of St. John, N. B he shipped on the Boston ship " Agnes " and satled to Cinton. Hearing that foreigners were emploj ed in the Chineae navy, he put in an applio.ition and was offered a position on the '•Tujg-Kin," with promise cf good wages if he was capable of teaching sailors how to handle the guns. H3 accepted, and remained frcin April, 1S79, till September, 1882, in the Chinese service his position was a very pleasant one, and he received none but tie kindest treatment from his superiors. The Chir .-ae, Mr. Cleveland says, have nothing of a seafaring nature about them. But in 1S62 seeing the uselesness of their junks against European war ships, and be- ing required also to put down piracy, the foundations of a navy were laid. Several gunboats tnat the British Government no looger wanted were handed over to the Ciiinese, and for nearly a dozen years served all the purposes f jr which that nation need- ed water craft. Bit in 187G, when the Formosa dispute occured between China and Japan, the fleet of the latter gr:atly troubled their continental neighbours. The Corea and Loo Cloo dillijuliies followed, and the Chinese purchased fourteen first-class war- ships frciu an Enghsh builder. They are superior vessels, formidably armed and cap- able of high speed. The pu'-chasers are greatly pleased with the ship j and Japan is no lonaer areaded. In fact, 'hina ha.s the better navy of the two While Mr. Cleve- land was still in the service the Government took another step. Two double-turreted iron- clads were got from the shipyards of Stettin, and these corvettes completed a flaai of sixty vessels, of which the sixteen last referred to are the equals of any afloat. The old gun- boats count for very little, but there are some very well built transports in the fleet. The Chinese are as ingenious as Yankees. They bu} en Euglish waggon or American plough, and make others on their model. They are now building ships from the modsls of those they have bought, the work being directed by tlermaiis or Americans. Doubt- less good ships will 1)3. built, but it is to be questioned whether manutacturing will not pro'e most costly than purchase. Li Hang Chang, who really founded the navy, also organized the North (Jhiaa Navigation Cjm- pany, hich had twelve steamers a year ago. These in competition with the junks, have almost a monopoly of tho carrying traeie. In time of war it is provided t'lat they shall act as transports. Mr. Cleveland dejcribes Li Hung Cnang, whom he often met, as a man of great energy. No state officer has more to contend with. He has the greatest dithsulty in nnnning his navy, the people having a superstitious dread of the sea, and being got by the highest wages. The belief is that if a man lives three days on boarel he will not only have esca ed the dreaded bad luck, but will be more fortunate on the sea than any were else. Consequently, there are no deserters, after the miserable three days are over, i he sailor is ridiculed by all his countrymen and he is £n outcast. Li has procured Western clKoers and sailors with- outs tint. Foreign assistance has done the work of organization, and most of the se^ men are good able bodied fellows, well disciplined and capable, and under the a.i;horjty of competent superintendents. From my ovvn personnl observation, says Mr. Cleveland, I incline to think that tne Chinese navy is now quite capable of main- taining the rights of the Empire. Japan ii not alone interes'ed,. Chiaa maintains her dignity on Ilia waters of the Yellow Saa, and as well as her position further south. The Annam affair is critical. The action of the French was regarded as one of intohrible impertiii3nce before I left Canton. The 'iiinese are fearfully persistent ia tlieir opinions, and FraiiCj'wili find that she v.-.il have a hard bono to bite. If the ditputj conies to war, China without a navy could do nothing. P.'it it has a navy, and beyond the shadow of doubt it will be employed in occasion of war, and employed so well that the world v/ill know, what it now scircil,- dreams of, that China has one cf the lust and nnst formidable of modera navies.
