A :SALAD.EATING RACE.
A Brief Review of tho Dietary of the
French Peasantry.

A Brief Review of tho Dietary of the
French Peasantry.
Bread, and plenty of it, is the grand
foundation of his dietary. Potatoes are
admitted as an addition and change,
but not, as in Ireland, as the staff of
life. Salad in unlimited quantity and
frequency from the beginning to the
end of its season; mache, corn salad or
lamb lettuce-a great favorite. al
though, being eaten, it leaves an after
taste of ones having swallowed drugs
from an apothecary' shop-dandelion.
green and blanched; radishes, little
red, round and long, and big black,
white, or yellow Spanish; lettuce, cos
and cabbage; water cress, endive.
curled and broad-leaved, and cooked
beet root, cold, are all considerable
articles of consumption, of course
helped down with huge slice of
bread. How often can you eat salad?'
| asked a young peasant. Three
times q day. monsieur, SO long as it
lasts" was the answer. French beans
"princesses' or "hageolets' in
great request, either hot as dinner
dish, or cold dressed as salad with oil
and vinegar. Boiled haricots, also,
plain, hot, or dressed as salad cold,
come in as substantial mess in win
ter. An indispensable repast with
the French working peasant is his
collation." solid slice of bread
eaten at four or five o'clock in the
afternoon and frequently taken with
him or carried out to him in the fields
perhaps with a little grease spread on
it as luxury-and consumed with a
leaf of sorrel or lettuce laid on it as a
thumb piece; or their place is taken
by few spring onions-the Trimmings
of the beds-or q Glove of garlic. In
the south a red, fiery capsicum is thus
INDUCED in, to relieve and season the
bread-which, perhaps, is partially
made with the flour of maize. Sup
ported by this inexpensive treat the
rustics resume their work till summer
time. All the Year Round.

The Hindoos are early risers. In the

and are usually up at five o'clock or

they rise later, but they are out before

PRUDENT SWALLOWS.
Why They No Longer Take Up Summer
Quarters In France.

Why They No Longer Take Up Summer
Quarters In France.
If birds will only resort to practical
measures, and actually boycott" those
countries which destroy them for their
plumage. there is yet hope that the
law will step in and protect them, for
economical reasons alone. 1t is fact
that the swallows have taken this SEN
sible precaution, as far as feather
loving France is concerned, and have
apparently decided not to take up any
longer their summer quarters there.
Hitherto the tougbness of their flesh
has preserved them from the cook, and
popular superstition saves their
nests, but the milliners, who use their
feathers for trimming. some years ago
Organized against them a new plan Of
campaign.
The department Of the Bouches-du-
Rhone is one of the great landing places
of swallows coming from Africa, and
there deadly engines formed by wires
connected with electric batteries were
arranged to await them. The birds,
tired out by their fight over the Medi-
terrauean, perch on the wires, and are
instantly struck dead. Their bodies
are then prepared for the milliner, and
crates containing thousands of them
are sent to Paris every year.
This spring, however. with a strange
instinct for preservation, they have
not sought that coast. but have landed
either to the west or the east of it, and
have gone in much larger numbers than
was their won't to other parts of Europe.
The French Geological Society, which
npts forth an earnest petition to the
Government in their behalf. says that
places which were once thronged with
swallows are quite deserted by them,
though there has been no falling off in
the number of gnats and other insects
ON which they live. Great injury would
be done to French agriculture by in
scots il the birds should avoid the
country.
II is to be earnestly hoped that their
netitiou will be needed, and the deadly
batteries and wires will be removed

THE DREAM OF WoMANHoOD.

A little girl with auburn hair,
And eyes so blue,
or heavens own hue,
And features all SO wondrous fair.
She sings in childhood's gleeful verse =
OF simple toys
And peaceful joys;
The future claims no thought of hers.
A maiden fair, just woman grown,
With eyes so bright,
Thro' the dark night
Awaits her lovers welcome tone.
She sings in modest tones Of glee:
10, lover mine,
On oceans brine
Come back, oh, safely come to me-
A mothers love shines in her eyes;
mothers grace
Beams In her face;
A mothers faith that never dies.
She sings in soft, maternal strain;
my babe, my love,
Ny little dove,
Quick shall thy father come again"
With frenzied face and ashen cheek,
Upon her knee,
With eyes at sea-
She gazes on the waters bleak.
She prays, with heart so sad, yet brave:
From stress of wave
o, Father, save
My husbands bark o, Father, save!"
With furrowed brow and silvered head
She sits alone,
Children all gone,
She sits and muses. on the dead.
AS fast the years of life now flee,
With eyesight dim
She sings that hymn,
''Nearer, my God, nearer to Thee"
