The Dairy Industry of France.

To give an idea of the dairy industry in
France, NJ Herve Mangon recently stated IA
an agricultural gathering) that the milk pro-
duced in that country would, ii collected, form
Il stream about one metre in width and thirty
three centimetres in depth (say three feet four
inches and one foot one inch) flowing night
aud day all the year, with mean velocity ola
metre per second. Young animals drink a
part of this enormous volume of milk, man
takes good portion Of 1t, and the rest is
transformed into cheese and butter. No
branch of agricultural industry has so adj
vanced during the last fifty years as the max
ing of butter. In 1888 France bought abroad
1900 900 kgr. of butter. and sold to foreign
ers only 100000 kgr. She now exports tllir-
ty-four TO tbirty-five millions kgr. Of butter
annually and receives in return from abroad
especially from Edgland) sum of more THAN
One hundred million francs. La Manche alone
furnishes more than one-thirdof the total ex
pora,ion. kilogramme is equal to two and
one-iifth pounds ayoirdupois. -.

Opposing Counsel-We object to what
he saw. If there was row, let the
participants testify. Besides, this is not

Counsel-1his is new to us, but if

willing that the facts should come out.
We've no skeletons to conceal.
Opposing Counsel repel any of my

THE cure of lock-j jaw has, as a general
thing, been looked upon as n hopeless
task. 1t is true that, by using bean
which is found in India, some cases have
been cured; but it was reserved for a
Chicago amateur scientist to first try
electricity In connection with it. With
what success, we will let the Evening
Journal, of that city, relate: A fine
horse belonging to the Union street po-
lico patrol wagon ran nail into his foot
and was taken with the lock-jaw. The
savants of the department, including
Chief McGarigle and Secretary Doyle,
held a consultation over the animal.
The consultation assumed very grave
aspect, and it was resolved to call in the
inventive genius of Prof. Barrett. The
Professor, to whom electricity is n pana-
cea for every i'll, at once suggested his
specially. The suggestion took like
wild fire, and two wagon loads of batter
les were at once on their way to the
patrol house. To make long story
short, the batteries were applied to the
horse, and 10! the animals jaw was
opened. Everybody was thunder-struck.
The feat was unheard of, and, from the
frisky way the horse carried on, he was
pronounced cured. 1t was joyful party
that started back to the Central Station,
and it was even suggested that the dis
covery of such a remedy merited re-
ward. When the party arrived at the
City Hall, the following telegram
awaited them: "The horse is dead"
