In Ceylon they have an old usage
among them to recover their debts,
which is this: They will sometimes go
to the house of their debtor with the
leaves of neungGJa, a certain plant which
is rank poison, and threaten him that
they will eat that plant and destroy
themselves unless he will pay him what
he owes. Tie debtor is much afraid of
this, and rather than the other should
poison himself, will sometimes sell a
child to pay the debt. Not that the one
is tender of the life of the other, but out
of care for himself for if the person dies
of the poison, the other, for whose sake
the other poisoned himself, must pay a
ransom for his own life. By this means,
also, they will sometimes threaten to re-
venge themselves on those with whom
they have any contest, and do it, too.
And upon the same intent they will also
jump down steep place, or hang or
make away with themselves, that so they
might bring their adversary to great
danger.

LECTURE IN BAVARIA.

Mr.. Snave'ier, principal Of Bavaria
Schools, recently delivered a lecture
in the Bavaria School House, of whic..
the following is a synopsis:
His subject was, What were oar
struggles one hundred years ago
What are they to-day"
The lecture may be- con -i.iereI one
grand chain of thought, the links OF
which are represented by the succcs-
sion Of popular topics into whici, the
subject very naturally divides Itself
1t is designed to crowd vast amount
Of Thought into very little space. In
the beginning the speaker briefly
showed the struggles OF one hundre!
years ago, and then con;r;istad then.
with the struggles of to-day.
In speaking Of the popular dcpreci-
alton Of wOInan's work, he said: at
is not the disposition to keep won.an
from the polls that l object To, bat the
ever prevailing tendency To keep her
in Obscurity."
After talking some time of the diff
ferent standards of moral. demanded
Ofthe sexes, he again said: People
have extended privileges to woHi1n
just in proportion ~ they become civ
ilized and refined. Jast in proportion
~ they have learned To respect the
rights Of mankind in general, have
they begun TO raise up woman. OF
course they have always KEEP: her
progress several hundred years behind
that of man This is so my friends,
simply because national custom and
popular opinion, whether in civilized
or savage, Christian or heather lands,
have ever given man a doggeI supre.n-
acy over her."
Making some irresistible arguments
and powerful appeals, he broke forth
sarcasticly with the sentence, I'VE
have long considered the kitchen NO
mans proper sphere. Hence her
world must be very small, since many
Kitchens are hardly large enough for
good sized woman to turn round
in" Laughtcr.)
$50 closely have We clung to these
whimsical notions that i'm America
not fifty years ago, if a lady wished to
enter the literary field she had To first
display her talent on u cookery book
Proving that she had completed her
course in kitchen drudgery, she might
then begin to discuss other topics"
Giving several pithy illustrations he
closed the topic thus: "Only short
time ago we considered bondage the
proper condition of black men; W.
Yankee, have improved upon this old
fogyism little, and are content TO let
the negro go free, if we can only hold
white women in bondage"

the BATTLE OF TO3GAu.

The battle of Tor,iu, fought by
Frederick the Great in 1863, j. well
known to have been one of the most
murticrOusly contested actions which
has ever taken place, but until lately
no trustworthy enumeration has ever
been given of the killed, wounded
and missing on either side. In the
last number Of the .W'itdr WOcien-
bkdt, the organ of the German gener-
al staff, carefully prepared tables are
published Of the losses suffered by the
several prussian regiments of cavalry
and battaiiOns of infantry ENGAGED,
and from these it appears that the
fifty-nine battaliOns which took part
in the action, and which numbered al
together 5000 officers and men, io,t a
total of 1860 officers and men, or
about 90 per cent. of their aggregate
effective. In the thirty-nine battalions
which fought under the personal Iii
rectiOn and immediate orders of the
king, the proportion of losses was even
greater, so that, after the action, the
five battaliOns OF grenaiiers hal 10 he
forced into one battalion. or the
