It is more natural to do it in this way than towards oneself. But when to- bacco was introduced, and matches` were more often struck in the open air ihan indoors, it became apparent that by striking towards oneselt` the hand helped to keep the match alight, and prevented it being blown out by the wind. As men were constantly using tobacco, they easily acquired the habit of striking the match towards them- selves but women very rarely needing to strike a match in the open air, have kept the old custom of striking away from them. That the difference has arisen from the we of tobacco can hardly be doubted, for this is the only case in wiich a saving of time can be effected by striking the match towards one. In ordinary cases the object to which the light is to he applied is fnrthur away from the striker than the match, but in the case of a pipe or cigar- ette the object is nearer the striker than the match, and so in both cases the match is struck in the direction of the ol2_ject which it is reqtted to light Hygienic Value of Perfumes Dr. Andres, of Philadelphia, a. few years ago made the discovery that the ozone in the atmosphere. which is the great purier, was mainly supplied from hlnoming owers, and for this reason blooming plants were healthful- in dwelling houses, as well as attract- ive. Some interesting experiments with the L(l0I`S of owers have been made in the old world, and it is found that many species of microbes are easily destroyed by various odors. Ti]P,(.d0r of cloves has been known to, destroy these minute creatures in thirty- ve minutes; cinnamon will kill some specie-. in twelve minutes; thyme in " thirty-ve. In forty ve minutes com- mon wild Verbena. is found effective, whilmhe Odor of some geranium flow- ers has destroyed various forms, of microbes in fty minutes. The essence of cinnamon is said to destroy the typhoid fever microbe in twelve min- Ives, and is recorded as the most effect ive ot all the odors as an antiseptic. It is now believed that owers which are found in Egyptian mummies were placed there more for their antiseptic properties than as mere ornaments or elements in sentimental work.

The latest id in fashionable circles is the new game of Spheroids. It is true that some contend that spher- oida is not anew thing and that it is nothing more or less than marbles; but this is ridiculous. Spheroidsis no more like marbles than golf -is like hockey,.or sitting on the grand stand` at the South End grounds eating pea-' nuts is like the old game at founders.` So much for that.

It has been said that a woman can never hit anything; but it is found that she can hit another` spheroid with her own, provided she nudges or " darts suiciently, which she can always be counted upon ` todo.'

Different remedies suit different `conditions as when there is dry or watery or purulent catarrh or excessive sneezing. The first four rem- edies are suitable in most kinds of ca- tarrh.

Dear grandmother cannot thread her needles so easily as she used to do, and is sensitive on the subject; and does not like to be too obviously helped, to have attention called to her failing eyesight, which she so much regretsand does not like to admit. There are two ways of meeting the dxiculty. Mattie a kind-hearted girl without much tact, will exclaim: Oh, gran! what per- fect nonsense for you to fuss over that needle ! You know you cannot find the hole where the thread should go in; your eyes are too old.- Give me the thing ;' I'll thread your needles 1" The intention is most excellent, but the old lady is hurt and sties a sigh. She had young eyes once, and she has the same independent spirit still. Edith, in the same circumstances, manages in an- . other fashion. She simply threads a dozen needles, and leaves them all ready for grandmamma in her needle book, saying, pleasantly: It saves so much time. dear, in these busy days, to have one s needles all ready and waiting.

It is more than twelve years since the Times drew attention (July 30, 188.3) to the excellent manner in which the `then newly 'founded'Commiuion for the preservation of the monuments of Arab art had set about its important duties. ' The annual reports published by the Oomite 'and the testimony of , ,L2__L_ ___J L..-__..-.._ the numerous artists and travellers have informed-the public from time to ., time that the vvork had not stood still, !that the commission had not relaxed lits efforts to preserve the mosques and private buildings of mediseval Cairo, and that, on the whole, its energy had been tempered with discretion. A re- cent detsiled inspection of its more important labors has strongly conrmed this favorable impression. , There can be no doubt that the commission fully its responsibility as guardian of the monuinents, and? has succeeded. in doing a. great deal. of_ v_:ery; valuable work in spite of much ` _dii_c'nlty_ and :o,p'position-.-work. whiohfh` never yet` g;lV)jV[a"g@ eVaiefquatel y `or snpport- ` ` riots lrhibh `.i.4'.;",'h99; , l i ,VhT`R::`=6-f.`:l.'m_'`w:`e' :elbv6ria ' V " ` " numeral `*.f0_'.1_`.I many UI.lUl.'GVIUlIB UV Uvg-uyo .

These things cannot.be done now ; they became impossible `the `moment the power` to prohibit the smallest`interfer- ference with an historical monument. That veto has been firmly used during the past twelve years, and the negative work of restraining the destroyer and` warding off the predatory collector has been supplemented by positive work of repairing decay and counteracting the effects of time and weather. The re- sult of much patient labor and vigi- lance may be briey stated The Arab monuments of Cairo are now in a far better condition that they were a dozen years ago; decay, which once seemed as inevitable as fate itself, has been ar- rested ; as far as can be detrmined no monument of importance has been al- lowed to grow more ruinous, but, on the other hand, many mosques have been put into a thoroughly safe condi- tion, and a few 1 ave been, or are being completly. restored. Comparing the state of the mosques in 1883 and now there -is very little to regret, but much to be thankful for; and the body to which we are indebted for the present state of preservation of mediaeval Cairo is solely the Comite do Conservation des Monuments de l Art Arabs.- London Times s Correspondence. Flexibility of Ice. Experiments have been made by bending small bars of ice,_ supported at the ends in a horizontal position and loaded at the middle ; and it is found that if such a bar is so cut that the optical axis is perpendicular to the length, the load causes considerable bending, but a rod having the optical axis horizontal shows no appreciable bending under these conditions. This agrees with- the supposition that ice crystals consist of thin laminae, formed of a exible but almost inextensible substance, the interspaces being lled with a separating medium which is suiciently viscous to retard the mutual gliding of the plates. :7. Decay of Russian Nobility. Some startling statistics of the decay of the Russian nobility are given in a list of mortgaged estates furnished bv the British consul at St. _Petersburg. At present more than 10,000 estates, or 41 per cent. of the entire area owned by the nobles, are burdened by mort- gages, and the amount of money ad- vanced on them has reached $632,500,- 000, of which $586,000,000 remains unpaid. The `Nobility Land Bank, created by the Government to make loans to stranded landlords, has advanc- ed nearly its entire capital of $250 000,- 000 and received but little in return. %EMEN 1`B. . -__
