ORIGIN OF THE BAYoNEr.-The bayonet
is an arm peculiarly French. 1t was invent
ed, it is said, at Bayonne, in 164l, and en-
ployed in 1870 in the regiment OF the klng
Fusiliers. It sensibly modified the system OF
military art in Europe, as it made cavalry
less redoubtable to infantry, and caused the
fire of lines of battles to be regarded as the
PRINCIPAL means of action. The bayonet has
become the decisive arm Of combat. Accor.
ding to local tradition, it was in small
hamlet in the environs of Bayonne that this
arm was invented. What led to the inven'
ton of it was, that, in fierce combat between
some BASQUE peasants and some Spanish
smugglers, the former having exhausted their
ammunition, fastened their long knives TO
their muskets, and by means OF the weapon so
formed, put their enemies to flight: This arm
rapidly came into general use IN Europe. III
1878, at the time of the peace of Nimeguen,
all the French grenadiers had the bayonet,
but the socket, which makes the use OF it so
easy, was not invented until later period.
Bayonets at that time we're sort OF dagger,
of which the handle was placed in the muzzle
of the musket, and, of course, prevented the
musket from being fired. The first battle at
which the bayonet was seriously employed
was that of Turin, in 1882; but 1t was not
until the battle of Spires, in l7O3, that the
first charge of the bayonet was executed.
After that epoch up to 1892 the bayonet was
often employed in combat, but the real value
of it was not revealed until the war OF ma
tional independence. Then the bayonet real
ly became a French arm.

Second, because my preaching isn't worth

Third, because 1 have to collect my sal.

that much of the sugar of commerce is adul-

The presence of either of these substances
may readily be detected as follows Put a
pinch of pure sugar in the mouth. After this
sugar has dissolved, and while it's sweet taste
is strongly perceived, put pinch of the sus-
pected sugar in the mouth, and if adulterated
it will be found to yield distinctly bitter

of lime scattered about where rats and mice
frequent, will cause them to desert the spot.
A solution of it brushed over plants will ef-
fectually protect them from insects. If scat,
tered over ground infested with grubs it will
free it from them entirely. Bunches OF cot
ton or tow smeared with mixture of chloride
of lime and hogs lard, and tied about in
different parts of a tree, will guard it against
the attacks of insects, slugs, grubs, etc., and
drive away those already in possession.
