MISCELLANY.


HUGo's STRANGE BEL1EF.-Victor
Hugo was always convinced that he
would meet all his friends in future
world. He was equally sure that he
had always existed from the ante
diluvian times when the Creator placed
him on earth. He believed that he
would exist forever, inasmuch as he
felt in his soul thousands of hymns,
dramas and poems that had never
found expression. When the atheists
would say to him, ''The proof that you
will not exist in the future is that you
did not exist in the past" Hugo would
answer "Who told you l did not live
in the past centuries You will say
that is the legend of the ages. The
poet has written: Life is fairy tale
twice written He might have said a
thousand times written. There is not
an age in which l cannot find my
spirit. You do not believe in the doc
trine of surviving personalities for the
reason that you do not recollect your
anterior existence. But how can
the recollections of vanished ages re-
main imprinted on your memory when
you do not remember athousand and
one scenes and events of your present
life7 Since 1902 there have been ten
Victor Hugos in me. Do you think ]
can recall all their actions and all
their thoughts The tomb is dark,
but when 1 shall have passed the
tomb to emerge into light once more
all these Victor Hugos will be almost
total strangers to me but it will al
ways be the same soul"
Mr.. Viennet, a wag, asked Hugo
one day who was the greatest poet Of
his time, whereupon Hugo dryly an
swered: "Alfred de Musset is the
second greatest poet" Paris Figaro.

h Salt NeceaaaryI

L. d. Curtis quotes Prof. Johnston as say
ing: Upwards of half of the saline matter
in the blood (57 per cent? consists Of salt, and
as this is partly discharged every day through
the skin, kidneys, ETC., the necessity of a con-
tinued supply TO the healthy body becomes
sufficiently obvious. The bile also contains
soda as special and indispensable constitu-
emit. So do all the csrtilages of the body.
Stint the supply of salt, therefore, and nei-
Their will the bile be able properly to assist
the digestion, nor the oartilages to be built
up again as fast as they naturally waste"
DIR, Julius Lehman says: "Of special im-
portance is salt not only for the entire pro-
cess of digestion-since it increases the action
of all the organs enga ged therein, inducing
them to discharge saliva, gastric juice and all
other digesting liquids-but also since it
serves in the stomach as material for by
drochloric acid, which is one of the most
powerful means of digestion" Again 1.-THE
action of salt consists mainly in keeping the
various constituents of the blood in soluble
condition, and also to exchange for other
salts present therein its own constituents,
thus forming certain combinations, which
have their particular Office to perform in the
blood. Moreover, in consequence of its phys
ical character, it introduces into the blood
from other parts of the body, the required
amount of water, so that the blood remains
in its vessels in an easy, movable condition. "
The following is from the report at French
government commission on the question OF
feeding salt to domestic animals
l. That salt ought to be given to replace
the saline parts washed out of the food by
boiling, steaming etc.
2. That it counteraets the i'll effects of wei
food and meadows to sheep and prevents rot
among them.
8. That it increases the flow of SALIVA and
hastens fattening.
4. That in making mixtures of chat, pota
toes, beets, bran, oll-cake, etc, salt alwayl
ought to be added and the mixture left Il

that to freeze apples is the only sure method

In addition to the wool crop, the Austria
| lians derive huge revenue from the boiling
down of sheep. Boiling down was originally
resorted to on the occasion Of panic &C
years ago, when sheep could not be solo IN
the local market. Then the surplus of the
| herds was reduced TO tallow, and a market
for that commodity opened in England. Sew
eral years after, huge canning works for the
preservation Of the mutton were started with
satisfactory results. Now the sheep grower
makes capital out of the flesh and fat of hit
flock as well as their wool. Another exten
sive trade is the preparation, by sailing ant
smoking, of mutton hams, which are used fol
ships food throughout the Indian seas.
