COLLECTING LEAVES.

Here is a Good Way to Preserve Them.

The method once generally followed to preserve autumn leaves was to press them with an iron that had been rubbed on a piece of beeswax; but this produces a very etiff effect, and renders the tipe of the leaves quite brittle, ~hil+the wax imparts abigh, unnatural glose, A newer and more succesefel p’an cor sists in painting the under side of each leaf with linseed oil, ironing it immediately, and thea paint ing and ironing the upper side in the same way. This treatment gives the leaves sufficient gloss, while they remain qaite pliatle. It is not necessary to press and dry the leaves beforehand, but there are some painstaking ones whodothie. Iti- said that the tints may even be well pree- erved by painting only the upper side of leaves with ol and then laying them, without ironing, between newspapers under heavy weights, and leaving them quite diy.—Delineator.

NEWS NOTES.

Some New York state doctors are accus- ed of calling smallpox by other names, in order to avoid reporting the disease, and causing their patients’ tamilies anuoyanc: . Physicians who would add to the ritk of the spread of a dangerous epidemic have a good deal yet to learo in the mat ter ofthe duties of their profession.

Tae Mai “Argrancemenr.—The Agri culturiet, of Summerside, refers to the new mail arrangement and says: “It seems u lovg, roundabout way fer mails and pa:- sengersto reach the Island, during these months when ‘he Point du Chene route is ja-tas available as in summer, aod it sirikes one very ‘forcibly that some ar- raogement- could have been made for close connection between the C P Rexpress and the Northumberland, which would for ‘some Weeks (oO come, obviate the necessity of sending mails and passengers right past the Northumberland and away aroond by Pictou, and we trust that another season will see this matter, finally »djusted upon a basis satisfactory to all.” This iea pointto be notedand provided for next year.

AUSTRIA-HUNGARY.

The laws of Austria-Hungary are pub- Ushed in eight different languages,

The name Hapsburg, or Habsburg, was originally Habichtsburg—that is, Hawk castle.

Hapsburg _~—o has always depend- ed upon luck, marriage and diplomacy. They haye known little of the art of gov- erning.

Tha dual monarchy is not a happy fam- ily. The Hungarians dislike the Aus- trians, but they are very fond of the pres- ent emperor.

The frontier of Austria-Hungary meas- res 5,395 miles, defended by 25 or 30 fortifled cities, camps and coast fortifica- tions. Vienna, the capital, is undefended.

Casimir Felix Badeni, late premier of the monarch of Austria-Hungary, v +s tho son of acook. This is the more remark- abie because of the rigid loyaity to rank and high birth in the Austrian court.

The style of the emperor’s dominion is the Austria-Hungarian monarchy. Thisis made up of the kingdom of Hungary, with its principalities, and the empire of Austria. The latter was an archduchy until 1806.

In Vienna aman is often admitted to court socially because of his official posi- tion whose wife is never received, No matter how high he rises and how power- ful he becomes, his wife is barred, Even the late empress was snubbed because she was only the daughter of a duke,

On a peace footing the Austria-Hunga- rian army numbers 24,583 officers, 334,114 men, 47,149 horses. On a war footing the numbers are put at 45,238 officers, 1,826, - 940 men and 281,886 horses, while the number of men who might be compelled to serve in the landsturm, or national guard, is over 4,000,000,

BRaddhism In Burma,

Some sailors on board one of her maj- esty’s ships at Rangun obtained leave of absence to go into the interior and lost their way. A short time afterward they were brought back by some Burmans, who had fed them and showed them the way home. The Burmans immediately re- turned to their village, and, though the then chief commissioner, the late Sir Charles Aitchison, endeavored to find them, in order to reward them, I believe he rever succeeded. It caused a good deal of comment in Rangun at thetime. I think it is interesting as showing the ef- fect of the teaching of Buddha and how it saves the Burman from that “list of gain”’ which, as you say, “has taken so strong a hold of our civilization,’’ though I some- times found it inconvenient living ina land where the people are so utterly indif- ferent to money.—Spectator.

HERE I3 WHiT HE SAY3:

Gentlemen,—My wife was. most terri- bly afflicted with protruding piles, and contemplated a surgical opelation. A friend of ours recon:niended the use cf Dr. Chase’s intment, and less than one box effected a complete cure. We were so Pleased with the ointment that I tried it myself, as I have been trov:bled with an unsightly skin afflic- ticn which covered the lower part of my face.

For 25 years I suffered untold agony, and was treated by the best medical skill in the United States. I consider Dr. Chase’s Ointment worth its weight in gold for piles and skin disease.

Dr. Chase’s large-size recipe book, cloth-bound, sent to any address on receipt of 50 cents, by addressing Dr. Chase's Company, Toronto or Buffalo, N. Y.
