The use of salt, for horses, is becoming ge-
neral in some parts of the South of France. It is given
to riding-horses to the extent of 3 oz. per day, and for
hopes used for r.gricultural purposes to the extent of 6 oz. ;
with this coniiiment mixed with their corn, they become
fat, and a:e kept healthy.
NEW SYSTEM OF PUNCTUATION.—At a
dinner table, a short time ago, one of those non-descripta
called a Dandy, was seated at the top, and an honest plain-
dealing farmer at the bottom. During dinner-time a great
many affectedly polite speeches were made by the beau, and
a great many coarse ones by the farmer. When cheese
was introduced, the fop, in an affected mincing tone, asked
the company whether they would take the cheese, and whe-
ther they preferred the pure or impure? On asking the
farmer this question, the old man replied—" Hang you'
pure or impure, give me some of the musty !" " Sir,"
says the Dandy, " I must beg leave to tell you, that you
have made many very insolent speeches during dinner ;
and, Sir, if I have any repetition of your insolence, I shall
place my thumb and finger on each side of your nose, and
make a parenthesis of it." " A parenthesis I shall you,"
says the old man, " then I shall put my fist in your face,
and rruke a full stop !"
