ELECTRICITY v. LUXBNE, In a contest between these two iiluminants it is questionable which would come out on top. Luxene is pure white, odourless and smokeless. So is electricity, but the latter requires expensive generating machinery, and ia a fixture Luxene is portable, ready for use at all times, and with a clear lamp gives the perfection o? artificial light. Only 2d per gallon over ordinary kerosene. A SPLENDID collection of Hyacinths and other Spring Flowering Plants is now or. view at Mr Geokgk Matthews', Seedsman, ia Moray place, and we would adrise those who wic-h to make a.selection of these to pay the establishment an early visit. About 25 varieties of Hyacinths are' exhibited, many of them having euormou3 spikes of bloom. The colours range from pure white through, dalicate shades of pale pink, rose, and carmine, and from palest lilac through varied shades of blue to almost black. Narcissus are also well represented by some charming new varieties lately introduced from Europe. Tulips, being somewhat later flowering, cannot be shown in any quantity at present, but daring the ensuing week a special exhibition of these favourite flowers will be made. The plant house is also well stocked with useful foliage plauts such as Palms, BegrmiaF, and Dracenas; while amongst flowering plants are Primulas, Cinerarias, Calceolarias, Boronias, Heaths, and many others suitable for the decoration of sitting room or greenhouse. — Among mauy curious laws concerning capital punishment, none, perhaps, is more curious than one which prevails in Greece. It enacts that a man, being sentenced to death, shall await his execution for two years. Thus', for 24- miserable months he lives with that terrible vision of doom bnfore his eyes. — Sheep are not commonly regarded as useful as beasts of burden, but in a large part of north-western India, thousands of sheep cairy for many miles the commodities that are purchased by the sale of their own wool. The mountain paths among the foothills of the Himalayas are so precipitous that tho slieep^ more surefooted than larger beasts, are preferred as burden carriers. The load for each sheep is from 161b to 20! b. To Parents.—This preparation is invaluable in the nursery as a general laxative; it is pleasant to the taate, and much superior to senna or otiisr nauseous drugs.
