weeks and years Of their earthly pilgrimage :
But their sense of prcpriety, inwrought though
it was with the very elements Of their existence
was destined to receive shock ! A distant

on making them short visit, was invited to
partakc of substantial dinner with the dea-

TIE Use OF SNAILs.-In the provinces of
France where the vine is cultivated, snails Of
large size abound. Tney are gathered by the
peasants, put i'll small pens for few days, salt
water thrown on them to cause them to dis
charge whatever their stomach may contain,
then boiled taken out of the SHE'LL and eaten
with sauce. They are considered luxury
by the vine dresserS.
Cataract on the eye is cured by applying a
drop of clear water taken from the live snail.
by piercing what might be termed the tail of
the snail she'll with a pin This application has
the effect Of eating of the substance that grows
over the sight Of the eye A relative of mine
was thus cured the sight was totally eclipsed
Of one eye By applying this water two or
three times a day for some time, say two or three
months, the sight was restored and remained
good This was prescribed by physician as
a last resort
