his house one day requesting a private
interview. He said; II have called
upon very unpleasant errand, sir, and
want your. advice. Ny wife and do
not live happily together, and l am think
ing of getting divorce. What do you
advise me to do,
The Governor sat 8 few moments in
thought; then turning 10 his visitor said,
How did you treat Mrs. W. when you
were counting her and how did you feel
toward her at the time Of your marri-
age2"
Squire W. replied: IL treated her as
kindly as | could, for ! loved her dearly
at that time.
well, sir" said the Governor, "go
home and court her now just as you did
then, and love her as when you married
her DO this in fear Of God for one year
and then tell me the result
The Governor then said Let us
pray"
They bowed in prayer and separated.
When o year passed away, Squire
W. called again to see The Governor,
and said: II have called to thaak
you for the good advice you gave me,
and To tell you that my wife aud / are
as happy as when first we we're married.

jug was set upon the stove, and when
the water began to boil was carried up

Smith were already ensconced. The
Smiths, husband and wife, cuddled their

Sweet sleep was just about casting its

Snail Eating.

A century ago, some four millions OF
snails were annually exported from Ulm
in "cags" Of ten thousand, fetching
from twenty-five to forty florins " cag.0
We do not know if Ulm still carries on
the trade; but any one desiring lesson
in snail culture may learp all about it
in the Tyrol. There youngsters OF both
sexes are employed during the summer
months collecting snails as stock for the
snail gardens = small plots of land,
cleared of trees, and covered with heaps
of moss and pine twigs and separated
from each other by moats, having graf
ings at their outlets, to prevent any tru-
ants, that may get into The water, from
being carried beyond bounds. The pris-
oners are supplied daily with fresh grass
and cabbage leaves, until their appetites
fail, and they retire into the moss heaps
for their winters sleep-the last one
they will enjoy; for when spring comes,
they are routed out of their beds, packed
in straW-lined boxes, and sent on to
market. In a favorable season one of
these gardens will turn out forty thou
sand snails. The consumption of them
IN the South Tyrol must be great. Italians
and TyrOlese are not the only people
who appreciate the merits Of these clean
feeding mollusks. In Paris, Burgundian
SHdliS are Wollu u udAl-pouHy ttplcCt, anu
five hundred pounds worth OF snails are
disposed of in the markets in the course
OF year. Indeed the establishments of
special market for the sale of snails is
talked about, and the authorities are con-
sidering the, expediency OF making snails
pay the octroi duty-a very strong evil
dence that they have become recog-
nized article of food.
We are told that the Newcastle glass
makers hold annual snail-ieasts; that
.snails are publicly sold in Gloucester
shire markets; and that properly boiled
in spring water, and seasoned with pep
per and salt, they make a very nice dish.
Nevertheless, the day is far distant when
English folk will take kindly, to them.
