When Sir Humphry Davv, after great labor, invented his safety lump for the purjKisj of mitigating tho dangers to colliers working in inflammable gas, lie would not take out a patent for it, but muae it over to the public. A friend said to him: " You might as well have secured this invention by a patent and received you* £5,000 or £10,UU0 a year for it." „ "No, my g«od friend," said Davy; I never thought of such a thing ; my sole object was to serve the cause of hu­ manity. I have enough for all my views and pursuits. More wealth could not increase either my fame or my happi­ ness It might undoubtedly enable me to put four horses to my curriage ; but what would it avail me to have it'said that Sir Humphry drives his carriage aad fourf" CENSUS RETUBNS.

Notwithstanding England's enormous iudid tedue-s to her mechanios, but one mechanical workinguian has ever been honored with a burial in Westminster Abbey ; and that was Graham, the clock- maker. Graham made exact astronomy possible by his great improvements in time pieces. He invented the dead-beat escapement and the gridiron compen­ sating pendulum, and he wns the firat to make clocks that would run for many days without winding. Graham was also a maker of great quadrants and in­ struments of that sort. His funeral was attended by all the members of the Royal Society. The Ctar Nicholas* E. C. Greenville Murray few contributed to the Swiss Times some en­ tirely personal reminiscences ot the Czar Nicholas. Of his mental habits and tem­ perament he says: "He was a man of hasty temper, but very, full of generous impulses. Having on some occasions used harsh language to one of his Colon­ els, and learning that the officer had taken the rebuke to heart, the Czar or­ dered a review, and publicly embraced him at the head of his regiment. A kind man, too, who could unbend at times. One 1st of April, a lady who told me the story herself, was surprised by her ser­ vant abruptly announcing the Czar. It was so early in the morning that she thought it was some joke of her sisters in connection with the day, so she went on sipping her tea. Presently she looked up again, however, and saw the servant standing aghast near the door, which was still wide open, aud behind it in cas­ que and plume was the stately figure of the Emperor. He had come to bring her good news of her son, who was abroad, and had been ill. He was not tolerant, however, of intentional disre­ spect, and had but a modified apprecia­ tion of a joke. A General, who was Police master at St. Petersburg for a short time, found this out to his cost. The Geacral was considered a very stupid man, and was the Czar's favorite butt, so his Mi j >sty was pleased one night at a court ball to send him off in search of a thief who had stolen a colossal statue of Peter the Great. The • Policemaster, finding this statue in its usual place, as any one else would have expected, fetl mortified at the laugh raised against him, and determined to be revenged in his own way. Shortly afterward, therefore, he annoimced to his Imperial master, while at the theatre, that the Winter Palace was on fire. The Czar rose has­ tily to witness the conflagration, and on finding that the Policemaster had pre­ sumed to retaliate on his august self, sent him to relleot on his indiscretion in Siberia. Finally, he was not a faithful husband, but he was fond of his wife and very jealous. Her Majesty was quite aware bf this, and, unfortunately, very mischievous. Whenever, therefore, she wfslied to get rid of an officer that dis­ pleased her, she commanded him to dance with her, and so sure as he did so he was sent to the Caucasus. The Czar's personal habits were soldierly and sim- plfe. He ate and drank with extreme moderation, and he slept in his uniform on a tent bed in his study, with only a military cloak to cover him. He allowed his son, the present Emperor, £40,000 a month while traveling abroad; the Em­ press spent money so lavishly that her expenses for one night that she halted at Hanover exceeded £1,600. He gave, too, largely, but his personal wants must have cost little indeed. The New Congressional Apportion­ ment.

I Totals M 10 Hew members t It will be seen that by Mr. Cex's arrangement the North will get two of the eight new mem­ bers and the South the other six. Curiously enough, if the House should be increased to 325 members, which is not probable, the North would Ret seventeen of tbe thirty-two new members, and the South only fifteen. Flaying-l'ards. Not many French cards were ever sold in the American markets, comparatively speaking, although these manufactures were exceedingly fine--a linen card, thin, strong and delicate, and nice to handle. The great bulk of imported cards were from English manufacturers, as they are to»day. The English cards excel in the beauty of their finished geometrical de­ signs for their backs being ornamented with fine colors and gildidg to an extent never attempted with the American article. This elegance of ornamentation seems to. have always been a specialty with the Euglish makers, and alone, 01 in con­ nection with the heavy duties, appears to warrant the price asked for them--about double that of American cards, the latter beiug even a better article. But, as has been hinted, of late rears great progress has been made in the manufacture of playing cards iu this country, until at present no better goods can be found in any market than are af­ forded by United States makers. The modern, round-cornered card of the pivs ent'makes is a vast improvement over the old style square-cornered affair; and the manipulation of stock in their muke-tip results in an article possessing nil the at­ tributes considered desirable by card- players. Tho English hianvifneturers have been trying to copy tho results at tained in American round-cornered curds by "dicing out" the stock; but in this effort they failed signally, since the card cannot be cut in that way without fatally injuring its edges and quality. Conse­ quently a couple of card-cutting machines have been sent to Euglaiul from this country, and, by the nae of Yankee (or Jewish) methods, no doubt our cousins will achieve better success.--Boston Herald.

TREATMENT OV WOUNDS,--It is recom­ mended to treat inflamed Wounds by smoking them with burning woolen cloth. Twenty minutes in the smoke of wool, it is said, will take the pain out of the worst wound, and if repeated once or twice will allay the worst case of in­ flammation arising from a wound. This, remedy is certainly very simple, aaA. within the reach of every one. f**. HOT SAND A GOOD BBIVFIALIIOW.-- The comfort which a hot-water bag, or even a hot brick, may afford a person, on retiring, chilled, is very great, and, beyoud this, the use of some such warmth-producing appliance is useful as a health preservative and restora­ tive ; but one of the most convenient- articles to be used as a bed-warmer anfl in a sick-room is a sand-bag. Get some- clean, fine sand, dry it thoroughly in * kettle on the stove, make a bag about eight inches square of flannel, fill it with the dry sand, sew the opening care­ fully together, and cover the bag with cotton or linen cloth. This will pre­ vent the sand from sifting out, and will also enable you to heat the bag quickly by placing it in the.oven or on the top of the stove. After once using this yon will never again attempt to warm the feet or hands of a sick person with a> bottle of hot water or a brick. The sand holds the heat a long time, and the bag can be tucked up to the back without hurting the invalid. It is » good plan to make two or three of the bags and keep them ready for use. THE FEET.--The odor of pure per­ spiration is not unpleasant, as- may be proved in clean and healthy babes. When, however, the other eliminating organs--those that strain the waste mat­ ter from the blood--do not duly perform, their functions, their work is attempted by the skin. Then a disagreeable odor is generally given to the perspiration. Even in these cases, the odor is pro­ duced mainly after the perspiration has been absorbed by the clothing. This last fact is generally true of the bad odor which is associated with the ex­ cessive perspiration of the feet of some people. Dr. George Thin, of England, has been ivestigating the matter, and has communicated the results of his experiments to the Royal Society. The perspiration of the body is generally slightly acid. That in the Boles of the stockings and boots he found to be alka­ line. I11 this there is a rapid develop­ ment of a class of baoteria (micro­ scopic vegetations) characterized by a fetid smell (bacterium fcetidum). The fluid in the soles of the stockings and of the boots examined by the doctor was- found to teem with them. Thus the odor is supposed in some cases to be due, not directly to the perspiration as it comes from the feet, but to its subse­ quent putrefaction. The afflicted will be glad to learn that this odor can be wholly destroyed by boracio acid*--the acid of boron. The stockings should be changed twice a day. When taken off, they should be placed for some hours in a jar containing a solution of the acid. They are again fit for use after drying. To prevent the odor from get­ ting into the boots, cork soles should be worn, and placed at night in the jar and dried the next day. Washing me tender and sore parts of the feet with the- acid will relieve the accompanying feel­ ing of heat and pain. Genera and Its Watekes. Geneva, like other cities, has its- specialties, and its first and greatest is- its manufacture of watches. The Geneva watch has attained a world-wide celeb­ rity, and though probably no better than those of American manufacture, they are wonderfully fascinating, and it is difficult to withstand the attractions- of their show windows. Their exhibi­ tion oi' ladies' watches is especially fine, and their prices vary from $20 to as high as you care to go, aud you are sure to get a good article if you pay for one. Another specialty is music boxes, of which large quantities are sold every year. There are several establishments here which deal iu them exclusively, and they put them up in all sorts of shapes. There are musical chairs, which surprise you by playing a tune when you sit down on them, musical foot­ stools, goblets and trinkets of various kinds, ranging in price from $5 to £2,000, and even higher. Geneva lias almost a monopoly of these establish­ ments, for, save one at Berne, I have not noticed any elsewhere.--European. Cor.
