WIND OLA Canon BALL.-The re.
cent siege of Sebastopol has revived ar
old controversy as to whether the wind
of a cannon ball does injury to persons
near the line of passage of the ball. bu,
diametrIcally opposite opinions are pro.
pounded and illustrated by appeals tc
the personal experiences of the writers
Thus writer in Notes and Queries states
that the siege of Sebastopol has proved
the impression, that the wind of can.
non shot does injury, to be myth
There have BEEN" lie says, hundreds
of Instances where cannon-shot have
grazed the clothing and person of men,
doing no serious injury" The writer
was himselfgrazed by a forty-two pound
shot fired from the Gordon Battery, but
the wind of the shot did no injury. On
the other hand another writer states,
IAN officer of the French army, sent 20
make reconnaissance in the neighbor-
hoad Of Sebastopol, was knocked down.
not by a cannon-ba itself. but by the
wind of it, as the ball passed close to
him. The commotion produced was so
intense that the tongue of the officer
instantly contracted, so that he could
not either pnt it out of his mouth or ar
ticulate word. Subsequently, by the
aid of electricity. he recovered his
speech" .....
1t has been sugge sted that the i'm
preston that an injury is done by the
wind of a cannon-ball may be accounted
for by the statement of Baron Larrey in
his Cliniqae CAirurgicale paris, 1929,
confirmed by the eminent army surgeon,
Samuel Cooper. in his Elements Of Sur
gerry that a cannon-ball, especially when
nearly spent, frequently strikes the sur
face of the body or limb obliquely, and
is reflected without breaking the skin.
Other writer's make similar statements.

SLEEP OF ARcTIC PLANTs.-Mr.
Seeman, the naturalist of Kellett's Arc
tic expedition. mentions curious fact
respecting the condition of the vegeta-
ble world during the long day Of the
Arctic summer. Although the sun ne
yer sets while it lasts, plants make no
mistake at out the time, when, if it be
not night, it ought to be; but regularly
as tie evening hours approach and when
a midnight sun is several degrees above
the horizon, droop their leaves and
sleep even as they do in more favored
climes.

The RosE-From time immemorial, ,
the rose seems to have been tho especial
floral favorite with all eastern nations.
Indeed, to such an extent did the anci-
ents carry their passion for the rose that
10 triumphal car or column was consi-
dered completely decked without it-no
bridal, no funeral, no christening. no
public ceremony was conducted, at
which the rose did not appear most con-
spicuous in the profuse array of flowers.
AT Pere la Chaise, Paris, one may see
ola Sabbath morning. in spring and
summer, hundreds of mourning relatives
scattering fresh. .plucked roses upon the
green graves of their dead and kindred,
in all the sincerity Of affection. In
Asia Minor, the rose is coupled with the
nightingale in nearly all the older works
of painting and sculpture-thus associa-
ting the bird of melody with the blush
ing empress of flowers. In Persia,
where the rose is held in such supreme
estimation above the whole floral world
besides, no occasion is deemed complete
without the adjoining presence of the
rose. The early Romans were in the
habit ofpurchasing roses, in vast guam
titles and at enormous expense, to make
wreaths on public and private occasions
and some of the mere effeminate and
luxurious were even accustomed to sleep
on he'd of rosc-!eaves. In Portugal,
Spain, and several Of the southern de-
partments of France, the rose is the fa-
vori,e flower at marriages. and funerals,
and the presentation of rose is an al
most universal expression of love.

WE EAT TOO MUCH.

The late Sydney Smith, divine as

friend that he had made au estimate
of the food he had eaten during the first
thirty years of lis life. ana found that
he had in that period unnecessarily call
ed on his patient stomachtp digest meat
and vegetables enough to fill twenty
seven wagons, at cost of about twenty
five thousand dollars. He added, with
words of regret, that, had he been more
abstemions a; the table, he would be
worth in hard cash so many more dollars
than he was, and that by over-feeding
he had been guilty of double injury
firstly to himself, and secondly to soci-
ETY.: for, had he eaten less, he would
have enjoyed better health. and others
would have that to sustain and nourish

Kashmir is surprisingly fine but there
is nothing extraordinary in the way it is
made. The altar is procured from treb-

Whilst the rose water is still hot, the
basin is placed twu-thirds deep in run
