also had to be sent through the ordeal of q
Committee, and for this purpose the sew
eral bureaux met on Tuesday to appoint
the Committee, which 10 to consist of fifteen
members. The Right and Right Centre
declared themselves favorable to the Bill
which proposes to vest in the Gov
eminent the appointment of mayors in the
principal cities and towns. To this the
Left are violently opposed. Perier and
Jules Jul! simon spoke vehemently against the
Bill, which the new Minister Of Justice,
M. Defreyre, declared to be absolutely
suppression of the municipal anarchy
which at present prevailed in various parts
of the country, owing to the revolutionary
spirit of the mayors, who refused to hold
relations with the projects, and were in
open revolt against the Government. The
under secretary, Mr.. Baragnon, corrobor-
ated this statement, and added that a
large number of the municipalities were
in insurrection against tho central power
A few members Of the Extreme Right, as
factous as Simon or Gambetta, sided with
the Reds, but tho Imperialists warmly
supported tho Bill, and the voting result
ed in the election of nine members favor
able to the Bill, and six who are hostile to
it.. Theirs, who was present, took no part
in the discussion. The necessity of some
such law was shown later in the day by
the arrest of Mr.. Chapuis, a member Of the
mayor of Annonaye, on a charge of con-
spring against the peace of the State.
AUSTRIA.
The Emperor Francis Joseph celebrated
on the End the twenty-6fth anniversary of
his accession to the throne Of Austro Hun
gary. In receiving the bishops of the
country, his Majesty said he sincerely
hoped that the blessing of God would at
tend the labors of the clergy, and added
he was convinced their ecclesiastical sup
errors would not be wanting in the CO.
operation which their influence enabled
them to afford towards achieving that
peace which takes its root in religion. I'm
mediately afterwards, he proclaimed an
amnesty to all persons under sentence for
offences against his person, and ordered
report to be speedily made to him respect
ing other condemned persons, lenency to
whom is warranted by their conduct in
prison. Finally, he issued an Imperial
order creating a commemorative medal to
be bestowed upon all those who have taken
part in any campaign since his Majesty's
accession in 1913.

Beethoveu's Deafness.

The origin of his deafness is obscure.
Beethoven himself ascribed it to a sudden
injury to the nerve others have sup
posed that it came from a violent cold
caught between door and window, or an
attack of fever or, again, that it was the
traces on his face. But whatever the cause,
the malady grew worse and worse. In
1904, at performance of the "Eroica," he
could hear plainly. In 1905 be expressed
wish to hear his opera (.'Fidelo') from a
distance; "in this way" he says, "my pa
thence Will not be so severely tried rs
when am close enough to hear my music
SO bungled." In 1903 lie could still coudnct
with effect as is shown by tho anecdote re-
ferriHg to the first performance of his
"Choral Fantasia" About 1910 he began
to make use of Conversation books" in
which his friends noted what they had to
e,,hi+a.-E#eH at this ate he had nearly
given up playing in public. AS his deaf
ness increased his playing ceased to charm.
He would play SO loud as to break the
etrings, or drown soft passages of the right
hand by striking the keys accidentally
by degrees to feel his orchestra and
thinking of the work rather than the per
Torrance, would hurry or retard the time
so as sometimes to throw the players into
complete confusion. This was especially
likely to happen in performances of his
ldIGSk W OIhSs III "HlCu Luc mOu-
ulations and abrupt changes of rythm Of
fered new and unexpected difficulties to
players trained in the school of Hayd
and Mozart. When he had got his orches-
ira at skies and sevens, Beethoven would
burst into fit of laughter and cry, "Just
what 1 expected! wished to try and
shake such good riders out of the saddle ~
An English traveller who saw him 1923,
-four years before his death,l speaks of a
great change in his appearance eince 1916
but says that to his surprise Beethoven
could understand everything which was
said to him in loud voice and slowly.
In 1924 he could not hear the applause
which greeted the ninth Symphony. The
story is interesting. Beethoven did not
conduct, but stood near tho conductor to
give him the tempt. The "Sche1zo," with
it's wonderful passages, So affected the au
dience that the storm OF applause drowned
the orchestra. Beethoven went on beating
time till a FREUD showed him what was
going on behind him. AT tho end of the
symphony, the tragic contrast between the
deaf man standing before them and the
world of sonpd which had arisen by his
creation, completely overcame his hearers,
'breaking al the bounds of joy, sorrow,
aud sympathy" This was the last time he
showed himself in concert "too plain
he could now no more occupy his position
in public ; and while others left tho con
cert room JOY full and upliftcd in heart, he
made his way in detection to his house.

| MIGRATORY EXPEDITION OF ANTs.-The
ant cities, as they ought to be called, CT
| Brazil, are of such amazing size that they
have more the character of structures
| raised by human hands than that of mDnu-
ments of insect industry and skill. They
| are conical mounds OF clay, which their
| tiny architects rear to tho height OF ten or
twelve feet their circumference is nine or
ten feet; A hard yellow clay, forms the
external coat !; the inside is divided by
number of horizontal floors or stories, of
hard black earth, in thin plates, which
sometimes shine like Japan aware. These
habitations are peopled by myriads Of ants
of large size and brown color. They
have the power of exuding from their bo-
dies viscid fluid, by which they moisten
the clay to consistency fit for making
floors. Some species form covered ways in
this manner, and tunnels or avenues of this
description have been found stretching for
a considerable distance from one settlement
to another, and through these the ants are
! enabled to make pretty long journeys I'M
seen. They sometimes migrate, and their
expeditions are attended with truly won
| derful circumstances. In fact they resem-
ble on a small scale the iRroads of Attila
| and his million of mounted barbarians into
| the fruitful and glowing plains of Italy
! leaving parched desert in their wake.
When these insect Huns set out in such en-
terprises, they proceed right forward in
straight line,, just as the laden bee flies to
|
their way which is eatable, like a cloud of
locusts ''warping on tho wind" 1t once
happened, during one of these expeditions
which was undertaken near the city of Rio
de Janeiro, that u garden INSTRUCTED their
line of marcia deep ditch of water in par
ticular seemed insurmouutable OBJ
stacle however, a stick happened acct
IDENTITY to be lying across it this the ants
used as bridge, aud over 1t they poured
by myriads, SO that in few hours the gar
den was swsrming with them, and every
thing of vegetable kind disappeared. From
this they proceeded on until they came to
the house of the Swedish consul, through
which they actually made their way. The
gentleman who inhabited it was suddenly
awakened during the night by u horrid
sensation, and, starting from his couch, he
| found himself covered with these insects,
| whose crawling and biting had awakened
him. The house was full of them there was
neither recess nor apartment nor closet
exempt from their presence. Impelled by
| their instructive tendency to advance, they
pursued their onward course until the
whole body passed through, and next
morning not IL single one was to be seen.

entered in the purchase deeds. The four
Archbishops are the legal owners Of these
lands, which they apply to the main
tenance of the Irish College. They
may be proved to be corporation
in the eye of Italian law, bnt if SO
proved, they must be corporation founded
for benefit of strangers and such entitled
to the benefit of articles % and "a Of the
Suppression Act. But if not a corporation,
then the four Archbishops are absolute
owners in their private capacity, and as
British subjects may justly claim protection
and exemption from the Act. The COM
pnlsory sale is brought on under the 18th
article, which relates to Italian, not foreign,
corporations, and the proceeds of the sale,
under that article, must be invested in
Italian funds. There may have been rea-
sous laid before Lord Granville, and by him
submitted to the law officers, which tend to
prove Cardinal Callen and Archbishop
MacIIale to be natives of Italy and subjects
of Victor Emmanuel. But it was cruel not
to make known these reasons to the vic
Tins of the Cavour-pagat policy, whose
nationality is denied, aud whose Ecclcsias-

RECIPES, NC.

PRESERVED GREEN CORN.-Boil on the
cob until the milk ceases to llow when the
grain is pricked. Cut off the corn and pack
in stone jars in the following order A
layer of salt at the bottom, half An inch
deep. Then one Of com two inches in
depth, another half-inch of salt, and so on
until the Jar is nearly filled. Let the top
most layer of salt he double the depth Of
the others, and pour over all melted-not
hot-hlrd. Press upon this, when nearly
hard, thick white paper, cut to fit tho
mouth of the jar. Keep in cool place.
Soak over night before using it.
Green corn is difficult to can, but kn0au
it will keep well if put up in this way.
And, strange to tell, be so fresh after the
nights soaking as to require calf when you
boil it for the table. Should the top layer
be musty, dig lower still, aud you will pro-
badly be rewarded for the search.
PICKLEs.-Usc none but the best cider
vinegar especially avoid the colorless
liquid sold under that name. 1t is week sui
phuric acid, warranted to riddle the coat
of any stomach, even that of an ostrich, if
that bird were SO bereft of the instincts of
self-preseryatlon as to make a lunch of
bright-2recn cucumber pickle seven times
week.
If you boil pickles in bell. metal, do not
let them stand in il one moment when it is
oil the fire and see for yourself that ID Is
perfectly clean and newly secured before
the vinegar is put in.
Keep pickles in glass or hard stOneware
look them overe very month; remove the soft
enes, and If there are several Of these, drain
of and scald the vinegar, adding IA cup OF
sugar for each gallon, and pour hot over
the pickles. lfthey are keeping well, throw
in a liberal handful OF sugar for every gal
Ion and tie them up again. This tends to
preserve them, and mellows the sharpness
of the vinegar. This docs not apply To
SIcect pickles.
Pickle, we'll made, is better when n year
old than Mt the end of six months. have
eaten walnut pickle ten years old that was
very fine.

KILLING LICE ON CATTLE.-A cores.
pondent of the Maine Farmer says, In re-
ference 10 advice that had previously been
given not 10 apply kerosene oil to cattle for
the purpose of killing lice: II avoided the
used of Kerosene for this purpose for sever
al years, fearing it might be injurious, but
for the last three years have used nothing
else with our large stock of cattle, and
should be very unwilling to give it up. AS
often AZ the stock are known to be troubled
with lice, each creature is carded all over
quite thoroughly, frequently dipping the
teeth of the card in the oil. Two or three
applications are sufficient. No remeey
that have tried is so convnient, and mono
more harmless or efIectual."

On the llth Of July, Anna Priester, aged
30, aud Frederica Ruppart, 27, were be-
headed at Dessau, the German Duchy of
Anhalt. Both were married, and conspi-
cuous among the vast crowds that witness
ed their last moments were their hus bands.
Anna Priester and Frederica Ruppart had
paid visit to the aged widow Caring, on
the 18th of April. The old lady had show
ed them large casket filled with precious
stones, aud after they had left her they de-
termined to return and appropriate her
valuables. They found the widow in bed,
and smothered her to death by pressing a
pillow upon her head. They obtained the
precious stones and other valuables, but ON
the following morning they were arrested,
