Mr.. Walter recently told the arI
classes at Reading that the new Opera
house in Paris was one OF the most cos,.
ly and lavish buildings in the world, but
he never saw building in his lie The
interior OF which struck him as more
vicious and meretricious in ornament
and more extravagant in grandeur
That was the opinion of most cultivated d
Frenchmen. Within two or three hur.
dred yards OF that monument Of bad
taste was one Of the most beautiful
buildings in the world, the Italian Opera.
The only explanation that could be given
OF that fact, was that there had been a
falling away in the national taste. Com
ing nearer home, they could not look
round on the architecture OF the present
day, either in domestic, ecclesiastical,
or public buildings, without seeing a
great deal to disapprove OF, for a great
amount OF exaggeraLion prevailed in
decoration. The new National Gallery
and Keble College, Oxford, were illus
trations OF his remarks. People seemed
to think they could not lay on color
enough, nor cover the space allotted TO
them too completely with designs, orna-
ments and patterns Of every kind, SO
that there was no rest for the eye. Mr.
Walter thinks that the spoons and
chairs OF a hundred years ago are more
artistic than those that are made to.

On these frosty mornings, when the
schoolmistress in New Hampshire or
Michigan has a long walk in the wind :,
and finds the country schoelhouse as
cold as an empty barn, she draws her
thin shawl about her and wishes that
she could teach school i'll sunny Italy
For the benefit of such froZen-out souls,
let the adventures OF Eivira Viola, an
Italian schoeltsacher, whose face is as
pretty as her name, be here recorded.
She had passed her vacation at Raggio
Emelia, and was returning on Novem-
Der Q to Rieti by railway, accompanied
BY an elderly servant girl. The train
stopped at Falconara at 1880 p. M, aud
there was delay OF an hour and half.
Miss Elvlra was very hungry, and lesy-
Ing her baggage with her travelling COM
pahion, repaired to an eating-houIe near
the station. Scarcely was she seated at
table, before a police officer gruf1
asked her who she was. Sue could only
give her name and protest that she was
a schooiteaoher returning from her
vacation; but this was not enough for
the burly brute. He arrested her, ae

solution, so Jefferson says, and the result
was the striking out Of the hereditary

true that the hereditary feature was ever

In preventing disease among sheep.
The information collected by MIR.
Woods, after mnoh investigation,
pointed to the conclusion that the
more serious causes of diminished sup
ply and dearer mutten are of a com
paratively modern growth, and may,
to large extent. be prevented by
proper feeding and management. The
returns from Ireland are uniformly
satisfactory, and show but trihing
losses there. the ewes being chiefly
grass fed. In Eugland, on the other
hand, there is distinct evidence, first,
that turnips grow with superphosphate
manure are not so healthy for breed
ing ewes as turnips grow without it; /;
and secondly, that swedes, rutabaga
turnips, are also unhealthy in such
cases. In few instances where the
ewes were reported to have done well
when feeding on swedes the daily sup
ply had been limited, and there had
invariably been an allowance of other
food as vel, such az cut hay, linseed
cake, or hay chaff uith liberal mix
ture of bran. Swedes seem to be
constipating, heating and liable to
disorder the system of ewes, and to
produce low fever; and shep herds say
that ewes fed on them rarelygive much
milk. In answer to the question nat
urally arising, why sheep, have been
more unhealthy than formerly when
fed on t4rnips. Mr. Wood suggested
that the past Winter being an open
one, the turnips were always in state
of slow growth, while those manured
with superphosphate were spongv and
indigestiable: and ewes fed on indiges
table and innutritious roots, without a
fair supply of dry, wholesome and in
vigorating food, slowly but surely get
out of health and drift into the low
fever to which thay are 80 peculiarly
liable.
The advice given to flock masters
by Mr.. Wood may be thus summed up:
Make it a rule to feed ewes stimulating
food during the early season; avoid
feeding on swedes as much as possible;
limit the supply of other roots SO far
as circ9 instances will permit; give
fairly liberal allowaaee of digestible,
nutritious and health preserving dry
food, and run the ewes out on the
grass as much rs possible taking care
never to fatigue them before lambing.
There will then be fewer cases of abor
tien end deaths among ewes, and many
more strong and healthy lambs reared.
