volved the existence Of the Repub-
lie 1t is not the men, but the
women of France that are opposed
to the separation of church and
state, and none more strongly than

People are astonished at the same
chamber and senate voting the sup
plies to protect Tonquin-where the
unknown enters so largely, while
voting last year against the expedi-
to Egypt. In the latter case the
French believed in Arabi's star, in
the reports of their short-sighted
agents, and in the corroborating
opinion of M. de LesSeps. 1t re-
CURED Tel-eI-Kebir to open their
eyes, as it did those Of Arab. They
lost the stakes, and will never for
give England for winning the game
single-handed. Hence, much of the

pay interest on the eight mil1iards

expenditure. Independent of local
imposts, each inhabitant in France
pays the state 100 francs taxes.
France wants more children and

GARNER, the architect of the opera,
protests against that vandalism
which skinning Of the stone leads
to its premature destruction, and
destroys the moulding. Why not
scrape the Louvre. Notre Dame and
other public edifieesP The Ger

ings which is more practical though
not artistic. Three doctors drew
attention to the practice OF
mixing glue or size in the
whiteWash for houses; the ami
NAL matter is not destroyed by the
chalk and the microscope reveals
that beneath the scales of the white
wash there are animalcules suffi-
Gent to engender every variety OF
fever. How are we to whiten sep
ulchres.
