ENeLAND's INDEBTEDNESS TO FRANCE.
"A petition lately presented to the
French Senate by NJ. le Baron sets forth
that the English Government is indebted
to France in no less a sum than 81, ,776, ,132
francs, and prays that restitution of the
sum may be claimed from the English
Treasury. 1t is stated that by the treaties
and conventions between England and
France in 1914, 1876, sum of 6,500, 900
francs, payable annually for certain
number of years Representing capital
sum of 100 900, 600 francs). was awarded to
England as indemnity for the losses suf-
fered by English subjects in the destruc-
tion or confiscation OF their property in
the execution of the revolutionary laws,
and on understanding that If any balance
was left unappropriafed after payment of
the claims Of various sufferers, the bal.
ance should be refunded to the French
Treasury. It is calculated -on what
grounds is not clear-that the SUM OF
nearly 65,000,000 francs remains in the
hands of tile English Government unap-
propriaied, and the petition suggests that
It's payment should be demanded. as an

Dr. Dufaur, French physician, reports
this interesting case: A common brown
owl built its nest beneath the projecting
roof of farmhouse, where 1t had brood
of young. One day the farmer. moved by
curiosity, drove away the old bird, took
out the young owls, and, after looking at
them, replaced them uninjured. In the
evening, as he was entering his house
with his servant, the latter suddenly
heard the beating of wings, and felt the
claws of the owl on his chin, and before
he could defend himself received blow
from its beak directly under tie eye. On
the following day an unsuccessful hunt
for the bird was instituted, but in the
dusk it appeared again and attacked the
farmer himself, striking him directly in
the eye with its beak. DR.. Dufaur found a
wound of the cornea and an abundant
hemorrhage The sight of the eye was
completely lost and the other eye was
subsequently, threatened with sympa-
thetic inflammation.

Mr.. Joseph Arch, the champion of the
agricultural laborers, who visited the
United States and Canada few years ago
to ascertain the advantages this continent
offered to immigrants, in letter on the
existing condition of English agriculture
says: "The law of priInogeniture and
entail must be abolished, so that large
estates may be disposed of. Large farms
have been hindrance to the prosperity
of our agriculture. and an injury to the
country. The game laws must be abol-
ished, as one-third, and in some cases
ene-half, the farmers crops are devoured
by game" In addition" he says, "there
must be an easy and cheap system of land
transfer, and removal of the heavy land
charges-in short. equal laws for rich and
poor" When this is done he thinks there
will be little fear but that the land will be
properly cultivated, and the now waste
twenty-seven million acres brought under
the plow.

Animal parasites form in fact sort of
