A wick for lamps ia now manufactured entirely of glass, by Messrs Voubriel and Beek of Hanau, Germany. It is designed chiefly for use in petroleum and spirit lamps; and, with an equal amount of the wick turned up, it gives a much brighter light than cotton wick. In the spirit lamp, too, it is found to greatly increase the heat of the flame. No sparks are given off by this incombustible wick, nor does the light flare in draughts to the extent which it does with a burning wick; hence it makes the lamp safer. The smoking is also reduced, and it is stated that ten per cent of oil is saved by its use. Of course the disagreeable task of trimming the lamp is rendered unnecessary, for being of glass the wick does not consume, but wastes away very slightly by fusion. If a person swallows any poison whatever, or has fallen into convulsions from having overloaded the stomach, an instantaneous remedy, most efficient and applicable in a large number of cases, is a heaping teaspoonful of common salt, and as much ground mustard, stirred rapidly in a teacupful of water, warm or cold, and swallowed instantly. It is scarcely down before it begins to come up, bringing with it the remaining contents of the stomach ; and lest there be any remnant of the poison, however small, let the white of an egg or a teaspoonful of strong coffee be swallowed as soon a 3 the stomach is quiet, because these very common articles nullify a large number of virulent poisons. Probably the most disgusted man in San Francisco was the leader of the orchestra at Baldwin's Theatre. In the play " L'Assommoir " there occurs, as we all know, a fight between two women in a washhouse, they fairly delugiDg each other and the stage with buckets of water. On one occasion Mies Rose Ooghlan had just dashed a full bucket at Miss Adrews, who was directly in front of the footlighte, when the latter suddenly ducked, and the contents of the pail descended upon the head and shirt-front of the leader. The latter shook himself like a Newfoundland dog, and dived down below, making anti-Sunday school remarks, and looking as if he had just been fished out of the bay. It required the united assurance of the entire company to convince the embittered musician that he was not the victim of a cold-blooded and carefully rehearsed putup job. Since then, however, he takes care to stand behind the big fiddle and to keep an umbrella raised.

IHE Jurors of the Intercolonial Exhltion of 1866 and 1867 awarded the ONLY PRIZE MEDAL For Fluid Magnesia to Mr KRUSE. Accompanying their report is the result of Mr J.
