FRENCH EDIcTs.
An Historical Review of the Rise and Fall
of the Beard in France.

Apropos of General Boulanger's
order restoring the beard to the French
army, it is curious to note that the
capillary adornments of the soldiers
face has been a subject of contention in
France from time immemorial. King
Clovis adopted the mustache, then Il
foreign importation. Henry l. patron
lied both the beard and mustache.
Louis XIII. abolished both, and ordered
his officers to wear only a tuft of hair
on the chin, which was called la roya7c.
Louis XIV. in the beginning of his
reign went back to the mustache, but
Mime. de Maintenon objected to it, and
made a clean shave of the whole. face.
Some young seigneurs refused to sub
init to the sacrifice, and were banished
from court. Under the first revolution
the beard again came into fashion.
Napoleon l. retained the beard, but
only for the corps d'elite of his army.
Others who distinguished themselves
on the field of battle were allowed to
wear whiskers as Il mark of distinction.
The monarchy Of July chose the
mustachc only, but forbade the soldiers
waxing or greasing it. The second
empire inaugurated FtmpefIate, which
wa a copy OF the royalc, save that the
soldier was permitted to gum it, and
wear it with the mustache. To-day the
beard is once more revived, but whiskers
are prohibited as being too English.
The revival, however, is not popular,
there are so many officers who can't
get a beard or whose beard is un-
pleasantly gray.--PaN Mall Gazette.

Il BARK ous
How to Destroy Moss and Insects and

How to Destroy Moss and Insects and
Improve the Bark of Trees.
The scale bark louise, or oyster shell
louise, infests several trees, mostly will
low, horse chestnut and apple. Will
lows are exceedingly troubled in this
way, and everv winter the trees are
largely denuded Of their limbs anG
branches, which have been killed by
these pests and have been broken OF
by the winds. From the willows the
lice spread to adjacent trees. An effect
i've remedy for apple trees is to wash
the bark with hot lime wash or II hot
I've of wood ashes. The lims, however.
is quite sufficient and is soon washed
off by the rain, furnishing valuable
plant food, and removing the glazing
whiteness which is SO much objected to
by persons who do not know the benefit
derived from it, and whose aesthetic
tastes are hurt by the idea that the
trees are whitewashed in pursuit of the
cherished Yankee cleanliness and mis-
taken n%eatness. In spite of the tender
feelings of these good people every
owner of an orchard would do well to
expend 4 barrel of lime upon his trees
every spring and destroy moss and
insects and cleanse and improve the
bark.-N. Y. Times. ~

AN INTERESTING STUDY.
Extracts from q Paper IN the Inertia Of
the Eve and the Brain.

In a paper on the ''Inertia of the Eye
and the Brain" Mr.. James McKcen
Cattell, of the University of Leipsic.
discusses, in view of the results OF ex.
periments which he has made, that
part of the process of sensation which
concerns the time a light must work ON
the retina in order that sensation may
be excited. The time is to a consider
able extent dependent on the nature Of
the object and the intensity of the light.
1t varies with the several colors.
Orange gives the quickest impression
and yellow is hardly behind it; nexs
come blue, red and green; while ths
retina is least sensitive to violet light,
the time for which is from two to three
times as long as for orange. When
lamp-light is substituted for daylight,
the time required for perceiving the
colors becomes longer and the order is
changed to orange, red, yellow,
violet and blue. When the intensity
of colored light varies, the time
increases in arithmetical progression az
the intensity decreases in geomctrical
progression. Applied to the distinction
of words and letters, the experiments
showed that Roman letters are more
quickly perceived than German letters.
and that the time is slightly shorter for
words than for letters, but longer for
long or rare words, and for words in Il
foreign language. The simplest geo
mctrical forms of the letters seem the
easiest to sec; all ornaments on the leu
tiers hinder; and it is doubtful whether
it is advantageous to use the thin lines
or two varieties of letters in printing.
Our punctuation-marks are hard to see,
and Mr.. Cattell, believing them to be-
useless, suggests that they might be re-
placed by spaces between the words
proportionate to the Importance of the
pause. Some of the letters, as S and G,
are hard to recognize in themselves; 9TH
ers, as o, @, Gand g, are liable to confu-
E is '.ncedlessly illegible." The order
of distinctness for the small letters is
d, k, IN, g, h, b, P, w, IL, l. j. t, V. z, r.
o, +, n, a, X, y, e, i, g, c, 8. II letters
are slightly more difficult to grasp than
the numbers. for every combination Of
numbers make a number that gives
''sense.' Not as many words as letters
can be grasped at n time, but three
times as many letters, when they make
words, and twice as many words when
they make sentences, as when they
have no connection. The sentence is
taken up as whole; if it is not grasped,
hardly any of the words are read; if it
is grasped, the words appear very dis
tinct; and this is also the ease when
the observer constructs an imaginary
sentence from the traces he has taken
up. The personal equations were JIM
portant factors in all the experiments,
but they did not materially affect tho
results as wholes.-Populor Science
Monthly.

PERUVIAN SCHOOLS.
The Main Branches Taught In the Natloza
Schools of PEN.

Schools of Peru.
While passing a school building, ono
of my first days in Peru, my attention
was attracted by the busy hum of
voices, and, upon inquiry, Iascertained
that this was a school for boys, and
that this busy hum arose from their
style of studying, which is invariably
out loud. We raped at the open door,
and Immediately the whole school arose,
and the director cordially received us
and showed is through the building.
There was little to be seen as compared
with your buildings. The only appar-i
atus. was a few maps, a very small
blackboard, a teachers desk, q long.
writing-desk and several benches with
out backs. There were three depart
ments, or, more properly, grades. The,
primary department was in q room by.
itself, but the other two grades were I'M

end.
We ascertained from the director
that he received Il salary of fifty silver
soler per month, and his c~o-laborers,
forty silver soler each (about thirty
dollars.)
As the whole attention of the school
was fixed upon US, and all work i'm
pedcd, we did not desire to keep them
from their studies, or standing longer.
SO we babe adieu to our Spanish friends,
and visited the school for girls, which
was in an adjoining building. The
sexes are kept strictly apart in all the
schools of Peru. We were kindly re-
ceived by the matron, who furnished
US all the information we desired. This
school was in the midst of recitations,
and paid little attention to our entrance,
much to u pleasure. She had two
co-laborers, who were seated between
the several groups of students, appar-
emily doing nothing, but probably, at
least we were SO informed, were over
seeing their respective divisions, while
the older students we're hearing the
classes recite. This is a common rule
here in the national schools; and they
not only hear the younger students re-
cite, but are also allowed to punish them
as they see fit. The common modes
of punishment are kneeling in the
midst of the group for a long time,
to be shut up in a dark room, or be
severely whipped. The teachers are
only hired to oversee the work and
attend to one or two of the higher
classes.
The main school books used are
upon the subject of the Catholic religion.
arithmetic, reading, Peruvian history
and geography. There is no COMPETE
ton in school books, as every book
used in these schools throughout Peru
must be approved by the National
Educational Board, and they adopt
only school books written by their
countrymen, which are not very

The English have four schools in

of Foreign Missions. This college haa
