The Builder gives the following as a 4 Simple Disinfectant ' : — Cut two or three good sized onions in halves, and place them on a plate on the floor ; change every six hours.

They are going to bring out a new drama in Paris, at the Theatre dv Chatelet— the title of it, Theodorus; and two new actors are to appear ia it — a couple of serpents. Horses have been brought on the stage, and dogs, and pigs, and parrots, and cockatoos, and bears, aud even those familiar insects to whose bite the Prime Minister once compared the national debt. But this, surely, is the first appearance of snakes. No doubt, ere long, we shall have to hail in London these interesting debutants.
