Then saw that dream of mine, hid

fear and sorrow in her soul for me.
"God bless you, Eulalie, said, al
forgive him. There is not shadow Of
anger in my heart against him now"
The next day she died. And in the
evening, as was going down to the
cures, feeling it not good for me to
be alone, saw lonely man in the

bosom, till, trembling in his anguish, he
rested on his spade and bowed his head

THE French WINE TRADE-It APP
pears the value Of wines exported from
France is annually decreasing, while
that of wines imported into the country
is increasing. In 1869 the imports were
E565, $40, exports ff0,441, 500; in 1873
the imports were % 500 1920, the exports
f8.S20, 040. In the ten years the balance
Of trade against France has turned to
the value of about 81. DOC, 900 in regard
to wine. The imported wines were
chiefly from Spain, but large quantity
were Italian This serious diminution
in the vinticultural produce of Frence
has been chiefly owing to the ravages
of phylloxera.

The Origin Of the Pillow.

The origin of the pillow and the wheeled
carriage was the subject of paper lately
read by DIR. Tylor before the London
Archaeological Institute. He believed
that the first agricultural implement was
pointed stick, which at later stage of
development was bent at the end into
the form of q hoe and had the point
hardened in the fire. After the lapse Of
ages a larger implement OF the same
shape came into use. It was not en-
ployed like the hoe or shack" but
drawn by men or oxen. Among our
own Indians, in the traditional lore of
Sweden, in Egypt's pictured pages of
remote past, there are more or less
distinct traces of the above transition.
Greek, Egyptian, Chinese severally pos
modern pillow. The spur was next shod
with iron, the more efficiently to fulfill
the purpose of the vomer or share. Virgil
lived at time when the pillow had reached
a very high stage of perfection. 1t was
then constructed with a wheel and an
upward projecting handle, like the best
form of pillow in use in Europe in the
eighteenth century, and, it might well
be added, like the plows still employed
near Mantua and Venice at the present
day. DIR. Tylor is unwilling to con-
cede that the pfow was the progenitor Of
the vehicle of to-day; he assigns that
honor to the sled, as is more probably
just. It would soon be found that the
introduction of rollers beneath the sled
would facilitate its traction. But as it
was not necessary that every part of the
roller should rest on the ground, the di-
ameter of the middle was reduced with
obvious advantage. Slowly in this way
the wheel, solid throughout and rigidly
attached to the axle, came into exist
ence. The wheel and axle of the
Scythians revolved together. Even now
some of the picturesque carts of Italy
and Portugal have drum-wheels fixed
on axles which revolve in bearings like
forks open below. From the rude har-
Messing of the yoke attached to the horns
or withers of oxen at first, the advance
to the present method was also gradual.
But it Is easy to follow this and the other
improvements in the pillow and wheeled
vehicles up to their existing condition
through the aid of recorded history.

There are many good reasons for
living on plain. simply-cooked, but
nourishing food. Variety is necessary;
that is, judicious mingling of dishes
of grains, vegetables, fruits and meats.
There need be but few kinds at one
meal. if the family are agreed in their
tastes. The larger the family, as a
general rule. the more need of variety
at each meal, that each one may fol-
low natural instinct in selection, so far
as can be done with due reference to
the rights of others. Plain living re-
duces not only our expenses, but our
labor in the kitchen.
Another important thing have been
taught by both reason and experience:
Plain living reduces our liability to dis
ease of aIf kinds. There has been but
one case of absolute sickness down
sick in bed, undressed all day. in our
little family of four children during
the more than dozen years since the
eldest was born. think this is due to
care in regard to the general rule Of
health, as no preventive or curative
medicines-not even catnip tea or cam
pher-have been used.
Yesterday daughter complained of
q slight sore throat-a very unusual
complaint here-and felt some little
uneasiness, as diphtheria is abroad in
this part of the country. But felt
zcondemned for the dinner of the day
before-hot bread pancakes. upon
which l knew the little girl was eating
quite too much butter in a melting
condition, followed by pumpkin pie,
which disgraced me because it was too
sweet and spicy for health. She had
the good sense Cor cultivated instinct)
to go without supper last night; and a
wet cloth on her throat during sleep,
covered by dry one, perfected cure
of all sore throat.
Children who live habitually on plain
fare show evil effects from rich food
much more quickly than those who live
regularly on the latter, and some sup
pose this proves that their stomachs
are weaker on account of plain living,
but 1 think it is because they have a
more correct or healthy tone.-Amer-
