Writing of tillers of the soil in Spain
a correspondent says: Their life is OF
the ronghest; there may or may not be
a ''settle in the cot, but, anyhow, there
is chopped straw and a rug, or bundle
of dried rosemary from the mountain
plant so common here that is is inva-
riably put in bundles and used to light
the fires of the engines. The peasant
lives ON bread and fruit and celery
stews, favored with garlic or saffron.
Prices are low the war has raised his
wages, and often, wound around his
waist, he carries purse full of gold
onzds or ounces. To save is the Man.

honest, his pride is to put by money.
and oftimes he hides it-bricks it up in
the walls of his house. His house is al
ways at your service; for, although un-
educated and faring hardly, he is a
gentleman. Your English peasant is
rough, but has a good bed your Spanish
peasant is gentleman, but often has no
bed at all

Hearty BREAKFAST.

In large majority Of cases, says the
Journal OF Health, it will be found that
the best and healthiest meal of the day
should be eaten in the morning. If the
closing repast of the day has not been
eaten too late, or has not been excessive
in quantity or indigestible in quality,
the stomach will be rested and active in
the morning after the individual has
enjoyed cool bath. The stomach will
then respond quickly with the necessary
gastric juice for the solution Of food,
and, if fair amount of exercise is
taken during the day, large mass OF
Iood will be assimulated and converted
into blood and tissue. With q good,
substantial breakfast, no great amount
Of food will be required during the re-
mainder of the day. One further meal
will be ample, and that might better be
taken at from two to three O'Clock in
the afternoon than at any other period. if
business engagements only permitted
it. The breakfast may be made from
any kind of wholesome food, and the
fewer kinds the better. The dinner
should be light and readily digested, If
sound sleep is desired, and strong appe-
tite and perfect powers OF digestion next
day. Ifhunger comes, bowl of sweet
milk and well-cOOked mush of Indian
meal, or other unbolted grain, will allay
it, and it will digest quickly. One
square meal" in every twenty-four
hours is all that can be taken care of by
many weak stomachs, and more than
this is an excess, and induces headache,
nausea and distress. If dinners were
abandoned, especially late and heavy
dinners, myriads of dyspeptics would
be cured. But under the exigences of
city life, late dinner cannot be well
avoided. This need not be the tremen-
dous meal it is customary to make it, il
the breakfast be substantial and nutri-
tious, and not thing of slops and bis
cults, as it too often is.

leonic flower; and during the Bourbon
ascendency it was dangerous TO wear
one in public, its old signi6cance re-
manning in full force. When Bonaparte
was finally conveyed to st. Helena, we
are told that he gave violet to an
English naval officer who accompanied
him-an intimation, it may be, Of his
hope (Which was never realized) Of a
speedy return. The revival, in greater
force than ever, In connection with the
alte Emperor manifested at his
funeral. and at the mausoleum at Chisel-
hurst, which is sometimes almost hid
den by violets-is, no doubt, chiefly due
TO tradition. Its popularity, however,
was probably enhanced by an incident
which happened at the time Of the late
Emperor's escape from the Fortress OF
Ham. A packet of violet plants having
arrived by diligence, the keeper was
directed by DIR. Conneau to plant them
i'm pots, and while his attention was
thus occupied, the escape was effected.

Not 1, my heart, not 1!

Above the petty strife

Its white hands beckon me by night and day,

But welded is my soul to its dull clay,
And am weak and worn

OATMEAL AS FOOD.-A powerful COM
petitOr for the patronage of the dyspep-
tic is oatmeal. This, however, is pOpu-
lar with classes not likely to be afflicted
with indigestion. 1t is, and has been
for years used extensively by the Scotch
and Irish. LabOrers drink it freely
with water in the Summer. But of late
years the use of this food has greatly
increased among families reasonably
wealthy, and many breakfast table of
this class of people would be incomplete
without steaming mess of this humble
but wholesome article. The advantages
of oatmeal as an article of food are get
ting to be tolerably well understood,
and all persons who have commenced
its regular use will agree that its .nutri-
tiOus and health-giving properties have
not been Overrated. Chemical analysis
shows that oatmeal is richer than wheat
in starch and the nitrogenOus com-
pounds, the first being fat-forming and
the latter flesh-fOrming constituents.
As compared with barley and corn, Oat-
meal is found to be still richer in these
elements. ru. 81. o.. A9ba- -I ..i r.

The Wolf OF the waseri.

The rapid growth and extraordinary
voraciiy of the pickerel are well shown
by DIR. Sturtevant i'm the report Of the
Massachusetts, Inland Fisheries Com
missioners. The doctor investigated
their powers Of eating in the following
manner: He put two young pickerel,
five inches long, In trough with q
great quantity Of little minnOws, about
one inch in length: and these two pick
erel ate 12S minnows the first day, 132
the second and $50 the third, and they
increased one inch in forty -eight hours
They were mere machines for the as
similation Of other organisms, and may
truly be termed the wolves Of the
waters.

A cHILD's BED should slope little
from the head to the foot, so that the
head may be little higher than, the
feet; but never bend the neck to get the
head on the pillow. This makes the
child round-sliouldred, cramps the veins
and arteries and interferes with the free
circulation of the blood. Even when a
child is several years old the pillow
should be thin and made of hair, not

NEW WAY OF MAKING SANDWICHES
Boil few pounds of ham, and chop it
very fine while it is yet warm-fat and
lean together-rub dry mustard in pro-
portions to suit your taste through the
mass; add as much sweet butter as
would go to the spreading of your sand
witches, and when it is thoroughly
mixed, split light biscuits in halves and
spread the ham between. These can
be eaten without trouble, and will be
found excellent.

Magnetic Phenomena. 1t appears
from the, scientific report of the Aus
tro- Hungarian expedition to the North
Pole recently, that magnetic disturb
ances are closely connected with the
aurOra-tlat, while in temperate zones
they are the exception, they form the
rule in arctic regions at least. the in
struments are in almost constant ac-
ton. this being the case for the incli-
nation, declnatiOn, and intensity nee
dies. The magnetic disturbances in
the region visited are represented as
of extraordinary frequence and maRni-
,tude. They were closely connected
with the aurora borealis, the disturb
ances being the greater, the quicker
and the more convulsive the motion Of
the rays of the aurora, and the more
intense the prismatic cOlOrs. Quiet
and regular arcs, without motion of
light or radiation, exercised almost no
influence upon the needles. With all
disturbances. the declinatiOn needle is
reported to have moved toward the
East, and the horizontal intensity de-
creased. while theinclination increased.

1e Wood Pulp TOR Paper Mdking.-The
Rerue de Chinie describes the process
now generally preferred by the French
manufacturers of pulp from wood.
Soft deal or pine, is sawn up into pieces
six to twelve inches long and half an
inch thick. and these should be all of
the same size, but, the smaller they
are, the more rapid, Of course, is the
operation. The pieces of wood are
placed in a cylindrical boiler, which
turns upon it's horizontal axis during
the maceratiOn.
In another boiler, close at hand, is
prepared a solution of caustic soda, OF
about the strength of twenty degrees
Baume, and this solution is introduced
through a tube into the first boiler,
which is presently closed Theoretically,
and the soda forced into the pores of
the wood by means of pump. A
pressure of some fifty pounds on the
SQUARE inch is sufficient when the wood
is not more than half an inch thick, and
the injection is completed In about
half an hour on this being accom-
phshed, the superabundant solution
is at once pumped back into the second
boiler, for the next operation. When
this excess of solution has asbeenpnmped
off from the wood, steam Is let in be-
tween the double sides of the first
boiler, and the wood thus heated to
about $40 to $40 degrees, Fab.
The wood is now washed in the or
binary way, until the water runs of
perfectly limpid; and half the stuff
may then be converted into pulp either
before or after the operation of bleach
ing, according to the quality or color
of the paper which is to be made from

body in animals, as support while
moving through the air, isan adaptation
found In various classes. The flying

The lizards of the genus DracO repre-
sent it among reptiles. The batrach-
ians possess modified representative
in Wallace's RhacOphorus, where the
webs of the toes are so diiated as to
resemble parachute. Mr.. Cambridge
describes spider from Australia which
is furnished with parachute. This
species-the Sdlticus rOlaRs-has the
integument of the sides of the abdO-
men extended into a horizontal MEM
.brane, concaye below, the upper sur
face of which is brilliant metallic
green. The saltici are great leapers,
and the expansions in question serve
as a support in long jumps from tree to
