The Feeling 'TWixt Germany ana
France.

BERLIN, August 4.-The North German
Gazette, referring to advices of the Paris
Temps, that the French cavalry on the from
tier will be reinforced, calls it Chanvinis-
tic agitation. The Gazette fears that France
is only awaiting an honorable chance to at
tack Germany single-handed or with allies.
Everyone abroad, it says, is aware that Ger
many has no intention of attacking her
neighbors. The desire of Frenchmen for
revenge offers every politician in France the
means of swaying his countrymen. France
no more values the friendship of Germany
to-day than she has during the past two
hundred years.

A southern Papers Description of a Con.
federate Match Factory and Its Product.
The first match factory in the Con-
federacy was in or rather near Atlanta.
The owner was an Atlanta man. These
matches were sold from Richmond to
the Gulf. Unlike some of our recent
experiments in that line, there was no
trouble about igniting the matches. A
man did not have to strike one sixteen
times, and finally hit it on the head
with a hammer, or light it by the fire.
His main trouble was to keep the thing
from going off prematurely, and the
only eflectual safeguard was to keep it
in a bottle OF water. They were the
most utterly too previous matches ever
seen in this or any other country. The
enterprise was " profitable, because
half the stock was invariably lost by
spontaneous combustion. Wagon
loads OF matches on their way from the
factory to the city would burst into Il
blaze half way on the road, soaring the
driver and his mules half way out Of
their senses. Several Atlanta stores
handled these useful marvels of home
enterprise, but customers were call
toned to tread lightly for fear Of jar
ring the matches into a c%ontlagration,
and clerks were detailed to sit up every
night to watch the troublesome stock.
The wne of this match factory put
up the stuff in which the matches were
dipped. and sold it for rat poison. 1t
certainly killed the rats. but the hasty
character of the stuff created such "
panic in the city that the industry had to
be squelched. A Whitehall street mer-
chant bought a box of poison n day,
and carrying it to his store, tried to
spread a dab of it on Il piece Of dry
bread as a bait for the rats. He gave
it one spread when there was Il
''whish!' and the whole affair blazed
up in his face, singing off his whiskers;,
A few similar experiments prejudlced
the people against the new poison.
They said it was too rough on the rats
to burn out their stomachs with such
an explosive. A complete COLLECTION
of Atlanta's manufactured products
from go to '65 would be worth seeing;
AS a museum Of curiosities it would
draw crowds in any part of the coun-
try. But it is too late in the day to Sc,
cure such a collection.-ANdnta d0'l

If rain were coming, we knew there
would be a drawing together of the
leaflets: but every leaf of three we
saw lay open, happily, and, moreover.
there were no signs of rain in the pine
of the robin which greeted us. There
was plenty of loose-strife along this

parsley, fairly luxuriating with it's deli

But of all the blooming spots before We
plunged into the woods again, the most
perfect was where a tiny brook flowed
to the right, and into which we forded,
that our horse might be refreshed. At
the first glance it seemed almost as
though some one-long ago, perhaps
had made a garden there. for on either

DUTCH STOVES.
The Primitive Concerns Used by Holland
ers for Heating and Cooking,

Ii Primitive Concerns Used by Holland
ers for Heating and Cooking.
The real Holland stove consists of a
cast iron pot with a hole in the bottom
in which sits a loose CRATE and SO loose
is it that woe be unto the fire maker
that pokes too strongly. Even a good
draft is apt to upset the whole business
into the ash pan. The fire pots set in q
box of sheet iron with a hole
in the side to admit the pipe
to the pot and n in the
front for draft. They arc not provided
with any thing like Il damper. The
nor expensive kind are made fine with
much open work OF cast iron; others
have Il top of marble. white, gray or
black, while the most expensive are en-
cased in tiles of old Delft. 1t is unnec-
essary to say these stoves. ''kachels,''
they are called, give very lisle heat, so
little in fact that people of all classes
use a sort Of heater similar, [ think,
to the kind that our grand
mothers used to carry to church with
them, consisting, of q wooden box or
foot-stool lined with zinc or brass, the
top well perforated; inside is an carthen
pot TILED with turf or charcoal, which
has been first ''burned off, in the kitch-
en- fire. Ladies making calls here in the
winter are at once supplied with such a
%''stove."
The kitchen stove is on the same plan
us the others, only the slleet-iron box is
larger to give more space on top, which
has many diflereat sized holes, each
with a sheet-ilon cover, to which is riy-
eted a long handle, giving it a strange
appearance. There is only one place
on these "kachcls' where anything will
boil, that being directly over the fire.
If more than one kind of vegetables are
to be prepared for dinner they must
take their turn over the fire and then be
set back to keep warm. The oven is
practically of no use as there is no way
of heating the sides or bottom. -Hol-
