KEEPING LENT AND HEALrH DR..
W w. Hall the pul Usher of Halls

lished and most excellent work on

following on the physical benefits of
keeping Lent strictly, without the dis
pensation usually granted:
If all persons for a month in early
.priHg were to abstain from all meats
whatsoever. as the spirit of the doctrine
Of Lent requires. it would add greatly
to the health of communities, by enabling
the System to throw off the impurities
of the body acquired by the hearty
eating of winter. would col of the heat

spri, 6 and summer disease and thus it
is that the practice-of the p~recepts of re-

but the physical health of man. These
are simple measures; they are practi-
cable, cost NO money. and are available

Ink Stains.

Tn a visit to Marseilles a little Incl
dent came within my observation which,
may prove servicrab'- to many of your
readers. In the Hotel des Empereurs
where / was resulting, an inkstand was
accidentally overturned upon a b~eautl-
full ~table-spread those present thought
that the cloth was ruined. A servant
being called in to remove the art Gle
from the table, all were surprised when
he assured us that no harm was done,
aud more surprised at witnessing the
successful means resorted to for remov-
ing the ink tains. The servant sprink-
led over the cloth a quantity of pepper
and salt. and rubbed them oven its sur
face. The mixture Don absorbed every
portion Of the ink. and thu table-spread
was in as good a conditions before The
accident. The spread was Of woolen
fabric. This is rather incredible, but
it can do no harm to test it.-IEx.

The prospect of an increased demand In
Europe for American breadstuffs, In con
sequence of the war, is advancing prices in
this market, ard, to less extent, in those
Of New York and Liverpool. There is lit.
tie doubt that quotations Of our exportable
productsl IS but little more than the advance
in the gold premium. If the war in Europe
should prove to be of considerable duration,
wheat may touch $1.75 and corn &1.10 per
bushcl, in this market.
But it should not be forgotten that the
probabilities arc that there will be but
brief contest. Modern war 10 80 terribly
destructive and expensive, that few nations
which have large existing debts, can in
dulge in the luxury for moro than few
months, without being brought to the verge
of bankruptcy. The war for tho suppress.
sion of the rebellion lasted rather less than
four years, yet the South, which had no
debt to begin with, was virtually beggard
long before its close, and that was much
the longest struggle that has occurred in
what are properly entitled to be called the
days Of modern warfare. A nation which
is overloaded with debt at the beginning Of
the contest, as France Is to day, and me-
naced by short crops aud internal dissen-
sicns, may bo able TO keep up her spirits
through series of brilliant successes, but
could scarcely preserve them after two OF
three defeats in the field. The probabilities
are that active hostilities between France
and Prussia will not be continued beyond
one campaign, and may he ended by one
encounter, as was the case at 6adowa.

pay hunter for the cost Of the clothes which
he tears in making his way through the
woods. And when you get your six francs for
q cub you find that il is only five francs, see-
ing that the administration keeps franc for
stamped paper
M. dEsterno asserts that the reason why
the reward is SO low is not any parsmony on
the part of the administration, but its desire
to make the reward practically inefficacious.
And in fact it is so. Nobody ever sets out to
kill wolves for the reward; it notoriously does
not pay to do so. No reward is given for
ensnaring wolves. In 1868 two members of
q certain General Council asked for an in
crease of the reward The prefect opposed
this, energetically declaring, with sadness in
his voice, that there were but few wolves re-
manning. On the other hand, fox-cubs or
even dogs, are paid for as wolves
the gentlemen of the administration
being as willing to encourage the de-
struction of dogs as that of the more savage
animal. At least so says our authority, NJ
dEsterno, who preserves the foot and jaw
of dog which had been paid for as a wolf.
He tells good story of a she-wolf that had
brought the usual reward to her murderer,
and ragpicker carried the skin about the
neighboring farms in order to receive the
drink money usually bestowed in such cases.
But he was careful not to carry his trophy
to the house of certain widow named Buard,
because the said widow had recently lost a
BITCH and it was shrewdly suspected that the
''she-wolf' was none other than the bitch in
question.
