Thrift of the French People.

Every sign still exists in France Of fertil-
lty, industry, thrift, obedience to the laws
and honest tinancicring. notwithstanding
the enormous size of their debt, the French
people do not shrink from every form of tax
alton required to meet their interest. For
some time after the war they paid off large
parcels of the principal, but have not found
1t prudent of late to do more than meet their
interest account. Taxation is excessive in
the country, but | think it is not equal either
to the taxation of the CONSUMPTION which
France suffered at the close of the corccr of
Napoleon l, when old age and hoary hairs,
immature youth, the cradle and the grave
We're robbed for the harvest field of war.
Every railroad ticket sold in Franco adds n
penny to the cost to meet n government tax.
TWO sous among a people habitrally frugal
is Ill Itself q tax every time they ride from
the city to the suburbs. or from the CAPITAL to
ia province. But the French really taught
Europe financial honesty in dealing with a
public creditor, and it has become traditional
with that country not to permit revolutions
in the form of the government to embarress
the public credit. Tho huge sums of money
spent by Napoleon the Last to employ voters
and promote nm evanscent industry are all
beng considered by the French of the present
day when they pay their taxes. AS to tho
French army, 1t seems to be sustained bv the
populace even more than by the public men,
although the populace get few or none of the
honols of the army and must go in the ranks.

Chloroforminr vlhilc As1oou

We had occasion in a recent numbe Of
Science to refer to the possibility of chloro-
forming persons while asleep without awak-
ing them. In confirmation of the statement
which was then made, that under favorable
circumstances this could beaccomplished, we
quote a case which occurred in the New Or
leans Charity hospital and is reported in The
New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal.
A child Gyears of age was suffering from
pleuI1sy, and it became necessary to draw OFF
the fluid etfusion which had accumulated in
his chest. He was very much afraid of tho
operation, and it was determined to attempt
it while he was asleep. On the following day,
while sound asleep, chloroform was admins
tered without awaking the child, and twenty
four ounces of fluid were withdrawn. The
child continued to sleep throughout the night,
and when it awoke the following morning
knew nothing of the operation. Science.

A Dog That Became Famous.

Col. Emerson, Of Auburn, Me-. has been
giving an account of a dog that became ia
nous during the wnr. He belonged to a
Portsmouth man who enlisted at the begin
ming of the war and took tho dog with him.
Both returned safely at the end of three
months; but as the Tenth Maine passed
through Portsmouth IN its way to the front,
some Of the boys stole the dog and took him
with them. His owner sent kilograms to
Boston, New York and Baltimore demanding
his release, but the boys laughed and kept
the dog, who served two years with them,
and then went back to Maine. Then the
owner tried to get him, but two of the Tenth
boys hid him and carried him to Auburn,
where he rc-enlisted with the Twenty-ninth
Maine and again went to the front, and was
killed at Sabine Gross Roads. He loved a
battle and became terribly excited in action,
barking and gnawing at the earth where the
bullets struck.-New York Sun.
