She had none, end wee told to retorn to the Frorost Mar-" ahai's dfSee and provide herself with the had trouble. The Marshal asked her: name and, after some conversation with' her, detected that she was a considera ble rebel in her sentiments nd feelings.1, She was informed that she could not get a peas without taking the oath. This she rowed she would not do. The offi cer very promptly told her that she could take the oath or remain in the city. She stood to it for several hours that she would not take the oath ; but, as the day wore on and she thought of the lit tle ones at home, she began to relent, and said she would take the oath if al lowed to visit a drug store and get some thing to appease her conscience. The officers thought she meditated suicide, and a guard was sent to watch her move ments. She ashed the drmrciBt for a good big dose of ipecac It waa meas ured out to her, and, armed with this, she returned to the Provost Marshal's office, and stated that for the sake of her children ahe was willing to swallow that oath ; and, exhibiting her dose of ipe cac, she added, "I guess when I get out of this town I will be able to fetch it off toy conscience. " She swallowed the oath, and it is said that she Bent the ip ecac close after it with a aeareh-warrant. About the time she reached the picket station on the outskirts of the city, she received a message from the ipecac to the effect that its return might be looked moment. Shortly afterward it arrived, and, when the returns were all counted, the woman was fully satis fled that no lingering trace of the oath, or anything else, as for that matter, had been left in the neighborhood which the ipecac had visited. She was also satis fied with the experiment, and was as bold a little rebel as she had been be fore. Clarkaville Tobacco Leaf. THRIFT IN FRANCE. The Benae of economy and thrift of the French people is especially striking to those who hare lived much in other conn tries. Nearly everybody possesses something in this country. If anybody does not, you may be pretty sure it ia his own fault. Love of economy often verges on avarice. Go into any house in Paris, question tke servants, and you may be certain that almost every one of them has some small treasure in the shape of cash of bonds. It is the saving of every day. The old servant in the house will often consult his master about how he is to employ his money. The head servant of a private house here, who has often filled my glass at table, has saved enough to bring him in 700 a year. He has beeU for twenty-five years in the same situation, and does his duty as strictly as he did the first day of his service. He seldom goes out, never takes anything between his meals, and all he gains is carefully put aside. I have met with so many examples that I am bound to believe this thrift to be the rule. A careful observer, who has occa sion to mix with the middle classes in France, will be even more struck by the qualities I have indicated. The whole mode of living ia made subservient to the children ; the babe has hardly seen daylight before the parents are already saving for Mm Every child's future ia provided far at his cradle by the earnest efforta of his parents, and it is rarely their fault if they do not succeed. There is a curious " exception to this al most general rule the workman, the artisan. Here you find many, and es pecially the better paid, in towns and cities, who have not preserved the good qualities of their fellow-countrymen. Here you find drunkenness, improvi dence, and with them Communiam. Still it may be confidently declared that thee are a small minority. limes.

SATUEDAY, APRIL 2, 1881.: 1 :lv . r : ' MTWTXM. and coBoaity might be excited, Pceaibly, over the question as to how y occasional, or even habitual, wine drinkers know the meaning of the word ."ir7m " Pplied to wines. , As a rule, "would seem to be much more justly .applicable to a man hiinself than toany thmg'in the bottle or glass before him, strictly a "trade term," but it .hat e sufficiently distinct and definite 'mining. ft , : " r, n a wine has been permitted to continue the process of its fermentation until it has converted all of its natural sugar into spirit, and has properly de veloped all of its natural acid, it becomes, technically, a " dry wine," When, however, a wine has been st all sweetened, or has had its natural fer mentation arrested by the addition of spirit, it is not a dry wine. As applied to champagne of any brand whatever, the term " dry H is a practical misnomer, " for there are no cham pagne wines in existence to which more or less of "rock candy" has not been added in the making. The only difference, for instance, be tween a "dry' and an "extra dry " champagne is in the amount of liqueur which has been added to the grape juice. For the finest brands, the French make a liqueur of brandy and rock candy, and in most oases they also add a delicate flavoring extract These things may indeed promote "dryness " in the drinker, but they do not increase the amount of natural acid in the wine itself.

Prof. Bemantini, of Naples, after va rious experiments upon himself, says that he found that by friction with sul phuric acid, diluted with water, the skin might be made insensible to the action of the heat of red-hot iron. A solution of alum, evaporated until it became spongy, appeared to be more effectual in these frictions. After having rubbed 'the f arts; which Were thus rendered, in some degree, incombustible, with hard soap, he discovered, on the application of hot iron, that their insensibility was increased. He then determined on again rubbing the parts with soap, and after this found that the hot iron not only occasioned no pain, but that it actually did not burn the hair. Being thus far satisfied, the professor applied hard soap to his tongue until it became in sensible to the heat of the iron; and, after having placed an ointment com posed of soap mixed with a solution of alum upon it, boiling oil did not burn ii While the oil remained on the tongue a slight hissing was heard, similar to that of hot iron when thrust into water. The oil soen cooled, and might then be wallowed Without danger. Several sci entific men have since successfully re peated the experiments. l jut everv man sweep the snow from before his own doors, and not busy him self about the frost on his neighbor's tiles.
