Consumption Of IIOrse.Fle,h in France.

According TO the irport Of the Com.
lite dc Ia Viande de Cheval, there were
consumed in Paris, during the first half
of the year 1867, 1913 horses, asses and
mules, which supplied 10000 kilo.
grammes of meat during the first half
year OF 1870, 1892 animals were
slaughtered, giving 1866, 40 kilogram-
mes Of meat lastly, during the first
half Of the present year, the figures
amounted respectively 10 3, 1856 animals
and 8s3, $40 kilogrammes, not includ-
ing hearts, livers, brains, tongues, &C,
which are consumed in common with
neat cattle. The provinces exhibit the
same progress as the capital in the con-
sumption of horse flesh.
Horses slaughtered for consumption
fetch on an average from l2j TO 100
francs each. so that the industry has
added 100 francs per head to the value
Of worn out, but not diseased horses
The public wealth OF France is increas.
ed by the eating Of horse-hesh 10 the
extent Of $50, 900, 900 Of francs. The
high price Of butchers meat, and gen.
eral impoverishment, have doubtless
considerably aided the progress Of
horse-butchery.

Keeping pahiia .,,uihs.

Will you please to tel me nov to
preserve dahha roots through the Win
teri Il. j. CARR.
When the plants have been blackened
with frost in the Fall, cut them off at
the ground, and throw a sbovelful OF
earth over the crowns; as for sweet po-
tatoes. They will now thoroughly
mature, and may be left where they
are until really frosty nights approach.
Then lift the roots on some dry day,
and lay them in an airy room to dry.
When thoroughly dry, pack III dry
sand, and place in dry cellar, or 9th
er dry situation secure from frost, first
labelling each plant SO that the marks
may not be obliterated during the
winter. We have never had any diff
Guilty in keeping them perfectly in this
way. If you have a greenhouse they
may be kept under the staging where
it is dry, since moisture is the one
thing most fatal to them, next to frost.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Preparing Wax.

The wax left i'll the colander after the
honey is strained should be thrown in
to a pot of boiling water. The wax
will rise to the surface, and must be
skinned OFF and packed in little molds
slightly creased that the cakes may be
turned out with ease. Every house
keeper will appreciate the advantage
OF this bit of economy, as few things
are more handily useful in many little
little family exigencies than a nice
piece of homemade wax.

be accomplished thoroughly in day
or two, the honey running through a
clear liquid, leaving the wax behind
clean and dry. Bottle the str.ined
honey, cork tight, and it will be ready
for use at any time. To make as
surance doubly sure, some house
keepers let their strained honey boil
before bottling, and say that thus pro.
pared it may be kept for an indefinite
length of time. A warm, dry store.
room is to be preferred as place of
deposit.

Pho Inielllreni SlnrLs.

A great fire once broke out ia little
German town near where stood tower
about eighty feet high, which formed
part of the fertilization on the town
wall. On the summit o stOrk's nest
had been built for so many years that
the building had received the name
of "Stork's Tower" Az the time of
the fire there we're three uniledgcd
birds in the nest, and the poor little
brides were in great danger. But the
old storks soon showed their good
sense and their love for their young,
for by turns they each flew of 10 some
little fish ponds just outside the walls /;
here they took a good dip in the water,
and filed their beaks with as much as
they could carry away; then, notwith.
standing the smoke and flames, they
flew back 10 their little ones, poured
the water from their beaks over them
and the nest, and at the same time
shaking il from their feathers. Thus
during the whole day did these faithful
birds act as a winged fire brigade hll
toward evening, when all danger fol
their young aud their nest was over.

Russian Real Estate.

Persons seeking investment for their
spare capital will do well to turn their
attention TO Odessa, the Russian sea-
port. IL appears from the report of
the British Consul General on the
trade of Odessa for the past year, just
issued. that there is an extraordinary
demand for further house accommoda-
ton in that town, owing TO it's grow
ing population. Many OF the new
buildings rising in almost every street
are engaged long before they are com
pleted yet, Notwithstanding the
immense additions that have OF
late been made TO the rooted
accommodations Of the place, rents
continue TO advance in the most aston
ishipo way The value Of some prop
erty doubles in few months, says the
Pail Mall Gazette, aud immense profits
continue 10 be made by the purchase
and resale Of such possessions. A
friend Of the Consul-General lately
realized q profit OF 5000 ronbles on q
house which he purchased six months
before for 10000 roubles, and similar
lucrative transactions are constantly
being spoken Of. The difficulty and
expense attending the housing OF a
family in Olessa in decency and com.
fort (for the generality Of Russian
dwellings are very inadequately pro-
vided with the accommodations which
EnQlishnen consider indispensable) ia
one of the greatest drawbacks to a resi-
dence there.

"CoAm, mother, give me some med
icine," said an ailing boy, 81 don't
want to die yet, for I've no acquaint-
ance IN heaven Why, yes, my
boy, ;" said his mother, "there's your
dear old grandfather, and little Lainy,
the gardeners daughter, and Harry
Stone, too, died only last week"

The oamphor tree perfumes the air,
and its leaves yield the finest honey.
IL often reaches hundred feet in
heighth, with girth of fifty feet. The
precious gum is found sometimes in
layers as large as a mans arm, but
more frequently in small fragments,
extracted with sharp pointed instru-
meDts. The wood is excellent for
house, ship-timber and furniture, and,
excepting the teak and calambucco, is
the only wood never attacked by the
myriads Of voracious insects in the
East Indies. The common kinds of
camphor are prepared by distillation.
WHILE Senator Hamlin was putting
q cigar in the Clerks office of the SEN
ate during the recess the other day, he
was reminded by q friend of the extra
ordinary fact that never before in the
history of the country had there been
two former Vice Presidents members
of Congress at the same time. After
cogitating for a moment he remarked
that he knew he had held that Office,
but who the other Vice President was
he could not imagine. Alexander II.
Stephens, Of Georgia, late Vice Presi-
dent OF the Southern Confederacy,"
was the answer Of Mr.. Hamlins friend.
ANOTHER query for ethnoloeists /:
Did the settlers come over in tree !:

Though fear they were not of sorrow,
Cried, "Spikey, didn't 20 it BULGE ?

And their eyes stopped over at poor little me.

POETRY.
Inconsistency.


Against the curtained pane, beloved,
The snow boats thick and fast,
The wild WINS sorrowful refrain
Is telling of the past
And in the old familiar chair,
Beside the hearth-tire's glow,
sit and sing the tender air
You loved go long ago.
All, often since the springs, beloved
Have bloomed above your resi-,
breathe The sweet old song that sings
Itself within my breast -,
Az children. In the chee,less days
When winter darkly lovers,
Retrace the gardens sodden Mass'
And talk of last years no"eis'
T. never seemed to you, beloved,
When we walked hand in hand,
AMID the sunshine and the dew
OF YOUTHS enchanted land
IL never seemed t, you OF me
That could sing or smilo
If you were lying silently
Within Your grave tue while.
We thought we could not live, beloved,
If VIC We're torn apart
That earth would have no moro to give
To either stricken healt;-
Alas, the change thai time has wrought!
Your grave has held y"u long,
And in home where yo are not,
sing the dear old song!
Do you look back to ME, beloved,
From out your happy sphere,
An deem me false, that l can be
Alive, and You n It here?
Death does not always bling its balm
To every aclimg ILL
Life m ny 0utlast lis dearest cuarn,
And hrart-bfeak d. oS not Kill.
II would have been the same, beloved,
Had been first to die
Anotl or love bad worn your name,
More dea', rerchance, than /;
All. after all these weary wears.
Would v on more cons ant be?
A would you drop these bitter tears,
And sing The song for me-?
