The snail is to American eyes n nause-

eating one makes ones gorge rise. Not
SO. however, to the Frcnchman, who
looks upon this proverbiaty slow tray
eler as the most delicious morsel that the
epicurean can roll beneath his tongue.
He has not in mind the American snail
that draws his length along the stone
wall and is of small size, but his gigantic
brother that abounds in certain parts of
France and England and feeds off the
tender cabbage plant. The process that
leads To his presence on the table is in
teresting and peculiarly French. In the
first place he is immersed in water
and scrubbed, then he is covered with
salt until all his slime is withdrawn;
next he is bathed again in salt water,
then he is left for some time in a solution
made from all the appctizing herbs and
spices. The cooking is the next process,
and with wine and one of those myseri-
GUS sauces known only to tho chef Fran
caise, he is served. The Partisan first
views the dish lovingly. and then, rails
ing tho shell to his lips, he closes his
eyes and gently draws into his mouth
the succulent morsel, leaving the shell
empty. To the novice the idea is revolt.

We rise ny the things that are under feet:

BY the pride dcposed and the passion slain
And the vanqu shed Ills that We hourly meet
We hepe we aspire. We resolve, we trust,
When the morning calls us TO life and light
Eut our hearts grow weary and ere the
night
our lives are trailing the sordid dust.
We hope. We aspire. we resolve, we pray.
And we think that we mount the air on

Beyond the call Of sensual things.
While our feet stili cling 20 the heavy clay
Wings for angels. but Zee, Ter menl
We may borrow the wings 70 find the way,

When it became evident that he was

at once to their own generosity and to
his extraordinary popularity by present
ing him with "singularly rich testi-

amounting to five thousand guneas.
This enabled him so far 80 retire from
the active duties of the ministry, and to
winter abroad.
At home in summer We find his ser
vices in great request as a preacher on
special occasions in Edinburgh and
