JPuTiusiNG the Water Lily.—The watei lily is said to be largely used in some parts pf India as a food stuff. The fruit of one 'Species that grows plentifully in the lakes of Cashmere is rich in ..tarch, and has much .the flavour 01 a chestnut If the outs are dried, they will koop tcraleng time, and, when ground, inav be made into cakes or porridge, or tlicv rr.a> L - .-.caked for some hours and thc ; i railed !uc seeds of the Jotus are also much u.-cd tor dietary purposes in India "■ Foxes Nck-ed r,y a Cat.— A singular incident occur; \ -U f.irclitfe, Notts. A man v as pioK,;hir<£ in a field, when a fox started up and bolted Reynard had come out of a fox earth, which contained five foxes recenth born Every encouragement was -i\cn ?■> vixen to return, bin as did not, and as the young foxes were nearly aud cold, tne man took the cubs to a cat v.hich had had kittens a few days before. The young foxes were put with the cat, and she has attended to them in a most maternal manner. " Condenses Breath on Window Panes. •-If the condensed breath collected on the cool window panes of a room where a number of persons have been assembled be turned, a smell as of singed hair will show tfce presence of organic matter ; and if the condensed breath be allowed to remain on the windows tor a few days, it will be found, on examination by a microscope, that it is alive with animalcule. Tj? e inhalation of air containing such putrescent matter causes nntold complaints which niight be avoided a circulation of fresh aiflfc .-. * | f * Deatii'of the Qtef.rew of Cats. —It, a remarkable cat, died at Putnam, Connecticut, the other day. The animal had Seven legs and two tails, being in reality one cat iu front and two cats behind. Her Strange deformity enabled her tp do many tricks; she was able to walk atj&ny angle without turning, and whenever perpendicular walls v?ere near enough together she could go up them as easily as she could walk 6c the floor, while it was her favourite sport to climb a tin pipe to the roof of the house. She was buried ia a triangular black walnut box, with the simple inscription, " It," and many of the villagers attended the burial. K A Hanging Country.—Great Britain is, w above all others, a hanging country. This |s shown by some opportune leaflets containing official statistics and reports circulated by the Howard Association. From these papers it is ascertained that during the decade 1579-ISBB inclusive, 145 of 29$ persons condemned to death were hanged, Jthe number including nine women. In Italy no executions have taken place since 1876', In Belgium none since 1863 ; in Holland none since i860; in Portugal none since 1843. In Germany and Austria capital punishment is Still in 'force, but It is resorted to with the utmost reltjctance. France might also be placed in the same categoi y, tor of 683 persons arraigned for capital crimes in 1887 (the last return available), only 28 were condemned to death, and of these only six were executed.
