 "^r. ,it V -5 f I] i I is HOUSEHOLD. To Pack a Tnmk. A gn»t oonvenienoe for packisg is a â- hoe-wra^ One ahonld have u mqy of Asm tm there iure pain of baota and/njppers to go. It is ilRi^ a s^Wcax»f hmn hol- kad or stout gray rfleaia, nu* a ywd eacfr way. A narrow Bern is made a]l fmina and feathw-stitched with a daiii«# or Uj^ter eolor. At obe comer -i" feaiSy "oww on to the ontside a yar^ of jbraid or tape in such a way that when str^etShed out one end goes beyond the diagonally opposite comer of the sqoare. The shoes are then laid together, soles oat, near the diagonal comer and then relied tightly, the other two comers being tamed in; the one where the tape is sewn remains outside and the tape may then_ be wound round and round and^ firmly tied. The shoes never come out and tiiey take up half the room in packing that they would wrapped in paper or put in loosely. There are food packers and bad packers and those who throw ererythiog in helter- skelter, who csmnot be called packers at all. The good ones are doubtless bom so, yet much may be learned from experience. The hardest packing is the leaving home when the many things needed are soattwed all over the house. If the traveller has sev eral days for preparation it is well to take one comer of the room where the trunks stand and there to accumulate the clothing and other things that are to be carried. Bverything being ready the work begins. First lay at the bottom of the trank a cloth or towel, and then put in first shoes, books and other hard and heavy articles. Try to keep an even layer, filling up cracks and •omers with stockings, woolen undervests and other small objects that may be rolled up tight without injury. Dress skirts should be folded the length of the trunk, and that t^ey may not appear crumpled when taken out should have a roll of news- paper laid in the folds. Hats and bonnets go of course in the tray or box. They may Save laces, neck frills, gloves and worsted hoods laid inside and around them, but no heavy thing should come near them. After the trunks comes the hand-bag or valise, and here let me warn the inexperi- enced traveler to leave only the necessaries for this enough articles will probably be found after the trunks are locked and there n no time so open them, to fill up the bag. A dressing-bag is a great convenience. Re simpler the better. It may be made of •sane, brown holland or kitchen towelling, and bs as pretty as one could wish, with Mffht braid, feather-stitching and cross-stitch- ed initials. It shoul^ have pockets for •omb, brudies, hair pins, s^littl^eaf of flan* net sewed on fOT needles. and pins, and should contain sleeve and glove buttons, thimble, thread, a boot buttoner and pair •f scissors, besides such other things as would readily occur to any one on looking at her dressing table. It is easiest to roU it together lengthwise and tie with tapes sewed on to the back. It is t^ excellent plan to put everything in its place in the dreasing-bag some days before leaving home and to use it as if "already travelling, then â-  anything needed can be easily supplied. .. War on Boaches. The I common household cockroach came to England from the Levant in ship cargoes, and by the same means made a voyage to this continent. It has increased to numbers of infinite proportions in seaport cities, and i^ some others. It is an intolerable nui- sance in New York and some other cities, and it penetrates to every building and every part thereof where it c^ follow water pipes, not only in dwellings, but in offices and stores. There are men who make a business of going about and ridding houses of these pests but, do their work as thoroughly as they may, they can give only temporary relief, for the horde soon again intmdes and takes up its abode. A constant warfare must be waged against these insects if much relief is to be had from them but, though you blow Persian in- sect-powder at t^em until the floor is cover- ed with tJie slain, in a few days the opera- tion can be repeated. People learn to disre- gard these insacte after long familiarity with them, and in many New York kitchens little notice is taken of them, for they are shy bugs and scamper away at the approach •f those who are not members of their clan. These bugs are almost omnivorona. They will eat flour, bread, meat, and evoi oloth- kig and shoes. They usually forage on •rambs and the various droppings and wastes of the kitehen, and, if they did not insist upon being so numerous where they are not wanted, they would be considered good scavengers. Their favorite time for depredation is the m^ht but, emboldened by numbers and familiarity inth the lawful eocupanto of the house, they venture out by daylight, especially in rooms and corners where the light is dim. Roach eggs are laid in a bean-shaped oap- •ule, three-eighths of an inch long and htuf as wide, and about thirty in eadi. These sacks are dragged around by the females wherever they go. After a few days the pod opens and leta out the little roaches, now Sfoft and white, and, after three or four days, they turn brown and are ready for bnisiness. The roaches make themselves disagreeable by discharging from their months a dark- •olored liquid witii an offensive odor. In the course of time the places frequented by them become impregnated with the odor, which is sometimes so powerful that food b tainted with it. But the roach ha ..ne redeeming virtue, it is said, and that is his appetite for bed-bugs. Pyretiinun, also called Persian inaect- powdw, la aare death to roaobea, bat ia not TpiaoaaoM to man.

The youngest King in Europe b Alfonso o fSpain. Thb royal baby was bom a King, for hb father, Alfonso the Twelfth, di«l some months before hb useful occupant of the Spanbh throne opened hb little eyes on the world in the royal pabce at Madrid. It was near noon oii the 17th of May, 1886, when the church belb of the Spanbh capi- tal rang out the news to the people that a new kmg had come to take the place of one who only a short time before had been laid in the tomb at the palace of the EscuriaL There was great rejoicing in Madrid, and crowds gathered in the square where the royal standard was hobted in honor of the event, while in all the'churches prayers were offered for the baby king and hb young wid- owed mother. » Meanwhile in the palace an ancient Span- ish ceremony was taking place. The court- iers and nobles in glittering uniforms and splendid costumes were assembled in the great hall, and the tiny new-bom King, ly- ing on a cushion rich with lace and eimroi- deiy, was solemnly carried round to receive their admiration and homage. Before Alfonso's birth it bad seemed pro- bable that hb oldest sbter, Merceides, would be Queen of Spain. Indeed she had been proclaimed as such at the time of her father's death, but the arrival of a baby brother changed all her prospecte for it is not the oldest child of a king, but the old- ess son who inherite the throne, and Mer- cedes b now only her Royal Highness the Princess of Asturias, and sister to the King. As she waa but five years old when the lit- tle King waa bom, she could not reaUze what grave responsibilities were removed from her pathway through life. The Queen-mower, Qmstina,' was Regent for Mercede daring the very brief time that the little maiden was Queen, uid she now holds the same position for her baby son, and will represent him at the hc»d of tiie nation until he b old enough to understand the duties of a King. Qaeen Chrbtina is not yet thirty years old, bat she b wise and discreet, and b a tender and loving mother to her three fatherless littie children. When ^e infant King waa five dsya old the ohrbtei]^ took plMe. The ceremonies were of great magnificenoe, and all the grandeea of Spain were preaent to do honour to the baby monarch. He reouved tlie namjB of Alfonao in memoryof luatiier and a long line of iilnatrioaa Kinga of Spain, and b known aa Alfonao the Thvtaenth.

What do we know aa certain facte witli regard to ahoothig stars 1. They are vast- ly more nnmeroua than any one has an idea of who haa not watched them continaoualy for many nighta. Astronomers who have kept a record for many years assore us that the average number seen by one obeerver at one place on a clear moonleas night b 14 per hour, which b shown by calculation to be equivalent to 20,000,600 daily for the whole earth. 2. They are not terrestrial pheno- mena moving in the lower atmosphere, but celestial bodies moving in orbite and with velocities comparable to those of planete and cometo. Their velocities are seldom under 10 miles a second or over 50, and average about 30, the velocity of the earth in ite orbit round thcj sun being 18. 3. They are of various composition, comprbing both a large majority of smaller particles which are set on fire by the reabtance of the earth's atmosphere and entirely burned up and re- solved into vapor lonr before they reach ite surface, and a few larger ones, known as meteors, which are only partly fused or glazed by heat, and reach the earth in the form of stony masses. 4. They are not uni- formly dbtributed through space, but col- lect in meteoric swarmt or streams, two at least of whioh revolve around the son in closed rings which are intersected by the earth's orbit, causing the magnificent db- plays of shooting atara which are seen in August and November. 5. They are con- nected with cometo, it having been demon- strated by Schbparelli that the orbit of the comet of 1066 b identical with the August swarm of meteors known as the Perseids, and connections between oometa and meteor streams have been foimd in at least three other casea. The fact b generally believed that comete are nothing bat a condensation of meteorites rendered incandescent by the heat generated by their mutual colliaion when brought into cloaeproximity. 6. Their oompoeition aa inferred from the larger me- teors which reach the eanh, b identical, or nearly ao, with that of matter brought up froniL great deptha by volcanic eruptions. In each oaw they oonibt of two olaaaeaâ€" one composed mainly of native iron alloyed with nickel, the other of stony matter, con- sbting mainly of compounds ^^ silicon and magnesiam. Most meteorites conabt of compounda of two classes, in which the atony parte aeem to havt9 broken into f rag- meto by violent collision and become imbed- ded in iron which haa been fused by heat into a plast ic or pasty condition.
