Scientific stendy Drinkins.

A Partisan physician told me CWhat I
had observed already that in France the
commonest kind of excess is what is called
sl'alcohoGsme des gems du 1nonde.' This
is not drunkenness, nor anything like it,
but steadily maintained, mild alcoholic
excitement, which does great injury to
health in course of time. The art of gen
tlemanly drinking has been reduced in
France to q learned programme for every
day, in which there is q scientifically or
dered succession Of wines, spirits, beer
and liquors, each at its most seasonable
hour. The observer Of these rites lives in
state Of alcoholic pleasure without ever
in any way disgracing himself. At night
he has yerre d'eau in his bed room to
quench thirst if he awakes. What is
called s'verre d'eau" is usually very
pretty glass tray, with decanter for
water, little sugar basin and O goblet.
This description is, however, incomplete.

of 8, peculiar kind. 1t was made and sent
to her house. She examined it carefully
and critically, finally remarkirg that it
suited her exactly, with one exception
It was too soft. She had the mau take
the chair back to be made trife harder.
The chair was returned to the store aud
put aside. Nothing was done t, it. AT
ter the lapse of about week the chait
was sent out again. The woman again
examined it, and this time the chair was
too hard. She was sorry, but when she
paid so much to get an article for her own
comfort, she wanted it right, sosbe sentit
back to the store for another change. The
chair was again put aside for week or
ten days and sent out for the third time

This time it was just right. She took the

able deposit Of heavenly bread, as tho
natives sometimes call it-mannn There
were extensive forests Of scrubby oaks,
and most of the deposit was on the leaves.
Thousands of the poor peasants, men,
women and children, were out upon the
plains gathering the sweet substance.
Some Of them plunge into kettles of boil
ing water the newly cut branches of the
oaks, which washes Off the deposit until
the water becomes so sweet as to remind
the Yankee of n ycritablc sugaring of in
the old Granite state as he takes sips of it.

vigorously beating with sticks the
branches, that from having been spread

glistening crystals fall readily upon the
carpet spread to receive them. The
crystals are separated from the pieces Of

Woman,s Wasted Time.

It is a pitiful sight tc see women
equandering their precious time on such
miserable trumpery and wasting their
lives on needless and worse than useless
frivolities. And this same wastefniness
is visible in various departments of
household life. Women who cannot find
time to read the Word of God, will pore
over library of well-thumbed cock
books, and occupy whole hours in com.
pounding and cooking indescribable
mixtures of fanciful and unhcalthful food,
killing themselves cooking what other
people kill themselves by eating.
Trouble came into this world by a
woman's tempting man to cat; and the
practice has been pretty thoroughly kept
up. Men supplied with plain, wholesome
food are quite sure to eat all that is for
their good, and more, without urging;
but if in addition to the force of their
natural appetite, the women devote their
energy and skill to compounding and
preparing tempting articles of food, and
then coaxing them to eat them, they are
quite likelyto yield to the snares that are
spread before them, and become glutton,
Gus and dyspeptic. All such useless work
occupies the time, exhausts the strength,
and wastes the energies that might be
devoted to the good Of humanity and the
glory of God. An old lady once said to
the writer, that when she was young she
could cook for q family ofa dozen as cas-
ily. as she could for family of three now,
when there was so many different dishes
to be prepared. Gluttony is one of the
sins Of the age, and while multitudes are
piniDg for daily bread, Christian people
are contriving to see how much money
they can spend, how much material they
eau use, how. much time they can waste in
tempting persons to eat what they 60 not
need, and in stimulating jaded appetites,
which need nothing SO much as plain
living, fasting and prayer. And as q
result of their luxury they derange their
digestive organs and ruin their health, SO
that probaly ten persons die of fovereating
where one dies for want Of food. Tie
poor also ape, these miserable fashions,
and the means which would supply them
abundaGtly with wholesome food are
,squandered on picknacks and i'll cooked
.luxuries, until 5moans are exhausted and
5destitution stares them in the face.-1Ae
