When Professor Graham Bell was in London he was asked how he accounted for the fact that a large proportion of new inventions came from the United States, and how it came to pass that he, a Scotchman, born and educated at home, should elect to go and live in America, and date his discoveries thence. He said that the fact was in his case— and he knew that the difficulty was fel^ with others— that he could not easily obtain in England those appliances which Ms! work required. If he went to an instrument-maker and ordered anything out of (he usual way, he was met with all sorts of difficulties, and when these were over he was confounded by the cost. In America, on the. other hand, the instrument- makers and manufacturers lay themselves out specially to secure the custom of inventors. They will go to any expense, or submit to any inconvenience in the way of disarranging their ordinary procedure. Of course, 'they do.not do this pnrely in the interests of science. They find their account in the business they secure, should the invention turn out to be a practicability. They are always glad to get new ideas, or be themselves yut on the track. More servantgaifsm. this time, however, rather in favor of Jemima Jane. An Abigail noj; a hundred miles from Falmerston (writes a correspondent of the Manawatu Times) lately complained to her mistress— a newlymarried lady— that she would hare to give warning, as there was not enough to do, and time huog too heavily upon her hands. Delicacy forbade the lady alluding to "coming events" which might relieve the com-plained-of monotony, but counsel with the lord and master resulted in it being decided on that Jemima's stay should be secured by the bribe of a standing invitation to the parlor to take a haud in a rubber of whist. Tbe loving couple, however, find that the little arrangement has its drawbacks, as the stolen embraces and tender squeezes have to be done through pedal agency. The proprietors of tJdolpho "Wolf's Schiedam Schnapps have latterly been advertising to the effect that to prevent spurious imitations of their goods they, in every day's packing which is sent to Victoria, enclose promiscuously in some of the bottles three promissory notes for jEI each. This, says the Bendigo Advertiser, has been regarded ; b; r many aa merely an advertising dodge, but Hr C. Hoffmeyer purchased from a woodcarter one of these promissory notes,- which he had found inside the wrapper of a bottle he had purchased. j"^gles," in the Austrqhsian, tells the following amusing story ;-r-"Tail'em, in charge of a mob of fat cattle, was passing IJail'em's selection towards evening, and waa , offered permission to place the stock in the ? latter^ paddock. The proposal was thankfully accepted. About midnight that hospitable grazier and agriculturist, accompanied. ' by his nephew, rounded up some of the* cattle, took them to a drafting yard by tbe river, and selected a nice little heifer, which he slaughtered. After sinking in the stream the head, hide, and other evidences, the carcase was fairly divided between the relatives. In the morning the drover counted his cattle, , found them all right, and proceeded on bis journey. Shortly afterwards Nail'ein missed a heifer of his own, and, mounting ahorse, gave chase to the drover, carefully examined' the mob, but failed to find the missing beast; It then dawned on him that he bad slaughtered one of his own herd, and on fishing up the hide he discovered his little mistake. His cup of bitterness did not overflow until his nephew ignored his melancholy explanation, and refused to refund a side of excellent beef." , The AY. Arnaud Mercury aska :— " Did any of our readers ever try making tea with cold water ? If you never have, just do co the next warm day, when a cool refreshing beverage is desired. Place the tea in a pitcher in the morning, with just enough cold water to cover it. At dinuer time fill the pitcher with cold water from the well, and you will have the best cup of itea you ever drank—tbatis, ifor warm weathefc The finer qualities of the tra are much more fully retained than when steeped upon the fire." Time-locks are in use in New York. By delicate clockwork the bolts of a safe are prevented from being throw/i back, duringsuch, hours of the day as the owner may^wish. \ The lock is set, say to close at 6 o'clock in the evenipg/and to gnlccfcf at 7: in .the ; morning. Thus the safe is locked, and entrance prevented during the dark boors, of the night, y or during such hpajraas riiax.be fleaired. Not only is the robber denied access to the safe, • but bank officers, are also shut but, and no amount of moral pressure brought to bear upon the bank officials, or ' physical force ;upon the jafe itself, can avail to compel the tirae-lockj to' refease V itf 'guardian 1 ' care till .the appointed time" in the mo'rniri^, when the i^vK. 1 ??^ 0 ?? 049^ 118 ' 1 ! 5001^*^!^ remove the "bbs^uction. r:■ : - }, j The Germanr papers, gayes the.fpHpwmß account of W occufrfeHce' at KaiJtfe ! ha s o¥f, ' m the Erfurt • district ",Y*sterday, at 5.45 pm., the water' of'ttie ; I*ke> suddinjy' rose, 1 wSfHi ;a Moleifc ftp* 1 ibhng, flooding the surrounaW land f6r i : nearly 500 metres, and air" suddenly 1 returned i to its natural bed.

The tour has taught- us this— if nothing else— clearly enough for the very" dullest understanding, that it may.be.no certainty five years hence that the best eleven cricketers in the world are Englishmen; M fact, if Australian cricket advances in that apace of time as rapidly aa it has advanced since Mr W. G. Grace's twelve were, out" in" 1873-74, there can be no question that England will have to play second fiddle."
