The military authorities at Versailles

grass grow where one grew before,
claims TO make three balls hred from
the Gras rife, do three times more
execution than the present single
ball. The discovery has all the
chances Of being adopted; it gives
more confidence 10 the soldier, and
the rifle kicks less. Indeed the mus
ket is converted into kind Ut repeti-
ton rife, for short distances. But il
the enemy possess a real REPETITION

The dangerous signals keep fyipg
about the cholera. The French are
net pleased that all the world does
not endorse their theories about the
endemic. They abuse England less.
as she turns an adder's ear to the tai!
talk. DR.. BouchsIdat has shown,
that while in 1882, cholera make 49,
302 victims in the capital. it subse-
quently diminished during the five
subsequent invasions, till in 1873,
the last, the total deaths was but 604
AT this rate OF diminuti0n, the epl-
demic ought to leave DO trace this
time. But we have worse maEady
typhoid fever-ss peculiar to Paris
as cholera is TO India.
Signor Alexis. a Piedmontaise,
published in the sixteenth century d
book OF recipes that still have impor.
tancein Italy. One. which in addi-
ton to curing Witbered arms, govt,
enlarged liver and broken legs, is also
good against cholera, namely: First
of course catch your hare in the
shape of q red-colored dog; slrangle
him, boil him in oil, add 100 scorpi-
ons, 8 spoonful of earth Worme, SAT-
from. pigs marrow, and the thigh
not iaW-bone of an ass. Let the
mixture cool and then use as an oint-
ment where cholera pairs are felt.
Shakespeare speaks CT spermaceti toy
an inward bruise, Alexis, in addi-
ton recommends cleanliness, per
fumes, and oamphor; to avoid mel
sncholy to have no fear fnd TO PIT
your trust in God.
Some of his other receipts may be
in the spirit of the times For burns,
pound a swallow in a mortar with
honey. 4 decoction of rhubarb and
white vine, will turn brown hair
blonde. The ashes OF hear mixed
with portion of bruins fat. will re-
store the growth of the hair on heads
as bald as a billiar1 bail. Here is
what comes home to every mans
business and bosom-to make gold or
silver out OF copper and mercury.
Take 8 6alamsnders, lib. of mercury,
and sdd goats milk. Zeal up the jar,
bury it four weeks in manure hea";
then examine and the residue will be
precious metal.
A startling society is in course OF
formation-that for promoting emf
grafton to the French colonies. Moth
ing of the kind has ever existed, 80
that the idea takes ones breath away.
Ali that is required is adherents to
make it success. Excepting officials
who must go, Peter the Hermit
couiu not prevail upon young France
to quit his dominoes and his whist,
his game of piquet, his absinthe, hig
lotus life of the cafes for Algeria or
Tunis. Why then expect him to
turn Robinson Crusoe in Anam,
Madagascar, or the Congo?
The Anti Semstique is 8 weekly
journal, published To show that the
Jews are the cause of all human woe,
and that the world will never be right
till the race be as extinct as the dodo.
ALI this is not ia harmony with the
liberation principles of 1889. The
approach o! the Millennium will be
still further,it appears, accelerated by
the eztirpation Of the English. This
tasks reserved for France, by the sd-
option of lettres de m1rque, and the
use OF electricity instead OF coal. The
Jews and ye English relegated tU
limbo. France will devote ali her
energies to Algeria, vita the view O:
anuexing Africa.
For the future. officers, stter their
daily work is ever. will have the right
to put aside their uniform and don pri-
vste clothes. Up till now that privi.
lige was arbitrary and rested on the
colonel's humor. 1t was considered
that when in citizen costume, the
wearer might get himself up in an
eccentric or unhecomipg style. Then
the majority of the officers are far
from being rich. It's odd that the
