And Drink. Too.


So great are the ravages of the phyl-
loxeria in France, that unless some
means can be soon devised for arresting
the progress of the evil, wine-making
there, which has long been one of the
chief industries, must necessarily come
to an end. Whether this country will
be able to supply the deficiency IN the
wine supply thus created, remains yet
to be proved. If any attempt to do so
shall be made we shall not only have to
pay even more attention than heretofore
to the improvement of our varieties of
grapes, but we shall also have to greatly
enlarge the area of our vineyards. In
ordinary times the vintage of France
amounted to between / 800, 0O0,000 and
100000, 900 gallons, worth about $780,
100000.
Since the first appearance of the phyl-
loxera in France, In 1865, it has spread
through fourteen departments, entirely
running the vineyards, and despite the
study and experiments of the best scien-
fists, and liberal rewards offered by the
government, no remedy has yet been
discovered Already the supply of wine
from Madeira, which used annually to
export an average of 100000 gallons,
has been cut off by the destruction of the
vines by the vine mildew-O itlium Tuck
eri-while the same cause has been
equally fatal to the vines in the Canary
Islands, which every year used to send
abroad 6, 600, 900 of Canary wine, very
much hike Madeira In Spain too, the
region which supplies sherry, and in
Portugal, that which supplies port, are,
it is reported, both suffering from the
and vine diseases, so that a
wine famine seems imminent in the near
future. -Rural NeaO Yorker E.& il

American Slang,

There perhaps Is nothing marking the
English spoken in this country which
gives rise to so much concern as the as
serted prevalence of slang; certainly
there is nothing more common than the
depreciation of its use. 1t is often
spoken of as the chief danger which
threatens the English tongue, at least
as employed by us. Most of US have
probably heard or read assertions tothat
effect; many of us have possibly made
such assertions ourselves yet no evil
dence has ever been brought forward to
show that more slang Is produced or
used In this country than In England.
That what is produced here is far more
racy, varied and vigorous Is plain enough
from the appreciation it meets there.
But even if it be conceded that our soil
is more favorable TO its growth, that
need not be looked upon as a great ca
lamity. Slang performs an important
and, indeed, a necessary part In the
development of speech. Expression
has, also, tendency to become weak in
the literary language, Just as, unfortu-
nately, the individual in the process of
becoming civilized is too apt to gain
gentleness at the expense of Mgor.
Less power is felt in some way to exist
in the words, and so close is the relation
between the thought and the garment
with which it is clothed that the former
seems often to share in the fiimsiness Of
the latter 1t is this gradual process of
weakening which slang comes in to
counteract The word is new, but the
thing is old. Slang is the great feeder
of vigorous expressions for in its very
nature it is an effort to state more con-
cisely and more strongly what the es-
tablished speech is felt to say too diff
fusibly and too feebly. OF course, it is
not an unmixed benefit Much of it is
silly; much of it is vulgar; most of it
is worthless; but from the countless
words and phrases which spring up in
communities where men think and act
earnestly the literary language, with
almost infallible instinct, will gain some
thing to recruit its own exhausted ener-
eies and to impart to its expression ad-
ditional fitness and force.

Rats are a great pest in every city and
town, and, indeed, everywhere in this
country 1t seems nearly impossible to
get rid of them, and any method that
promises to secure this most desirable
end is worth trying. Somebody recon-
mends covering stones, rafters, and
every part of a cellar with ordinary
whitewash, made yellow with copperas,
putting copperas in every crevice or
Granny where rat may get, and scatter
ing it in the corners on the floor. He
has tried it repeatedly, and the result
has been a general retreat of both mice
and rats, not one of which had at last
accounts returned. 1t is said that coat
of this yellow wash, given each spring to
a cellar, Will not only Danish those YER
min, but will prevent fever, dysentery,
or typhoid fever. Everything eatable
should be carefully secured against the
ravages of rats, which are so intelligent
that they will soon abandon places where
they can get next to nothing to eat The
rat we are most troubled with Is the
brown rat, much larger, stronger, fiercer,
and more ravenous than the black rat,
which has almost entirely disappeared,
having been driven off or exterminated
by the more formidable species. The
brown rat is frequently called the Nor
way rat, from the erroneous impression
that it came from Norway, which coun-
try it did not reach until it had become
abundant in Britain and America. 1t APP
peared first at Astrakhan, in the begin
ming of the eighteenth century, and
gradually spread over Western Europe,
whence we have derived it. 1t was once
known as the Hanoverian rat, because
the British Jaeobites were pleased to be-
heve that it came in with the House Oh
Hanover

the result was that he always got the

''One day 1 procureda powerful magni-

were so slight as to be invisible TO the
naked eye, but in passing my fingers
over them I could feel them. A gam

nice was his sense of touch that wheli

this gave him a heavy percentage, alt.
