A Chaplain's Opinion of the Gull
lotine.

The Abbe Faure, chaplain of the Ro-
quette, has just sent to the Minister OF
the Interior a report on his six years
work as prison chaplain, during which
time he has accompanied thirteen Grim
inals to the guillotine. 1t may seem
strange at first sight that priest, whose
duty it is to speak tenderly and lovingly
and pray with the dying murderer, to con
sole and absolve him, and at the last mo-
ment to kiss him on both cheeks, should
be an advocate of capital punish
ment The abbe defends it on the
ground that criminals are really fright
ened by no other penalty. To convince
oneself of this, he says one need only
compare the behavior of the prisoner on
the eve and on the morrow of the an
nouncement of respite. Before it he
is ill, feverish, and unable to elt or
sleep; but after he ut once recovens his
spirits, talks even loosely of his trip to
New Caledonia, and begins to look for
ward to a free pardon. The abbe does
not answer the objection that murderers
seldom consider conse lucnces before
hand, but he nevertheless believes in
the deterrent effect of the scaffold.-

How Rockets Are Made.

Rockets are made for three purposes:
for signaling, for decorations or cele-
brations, or as projectiles in war. For
signals, the charge consists of twelve
parts of inter, two of sulphur, and three
of charcoal. The ornamental or deco
rative rocket is the one we see used on
of which it is made comprises l22 parts
of mealed or finely pulverized powder,
eighty of inter, forty of sulphur, and
forty of cast-iron Filings.
The main part of the rocket is a case,
made by rolling stout paper, covered
on one side with paste, around wooden
form, at the same time applying con-
siderable pressure. The end is then
"choked, or brought tightly together,
with twine. The paper case thus made
is next placed in copper mould, so
that conical copper spindle will pass
up through the choke, and the compost
ton is then poured in and packed by
blows of a mallet on copper drift or
packing tool made to fit over the
spindle, The top of the case is now
closed with layer of moist plaster of
paris one inch thick, perforated with
small hole for the passage of the flame
to the upper part, or "pot. The pot is
formed of another paper cylinder
slipped over and pasted to the top of
the case, and surmounted by a paper
cone filled with tow. The decorations"
are placed in the pot and are scattered
through the air when the flame, having
passed through the aperture of the
plaster, reaches small charge of mealed
powder, placed in the pot. The stick
is piece of pine wood, tapering, and
about nine times the length of the
rocket 1t is to guide the rocket in its
fight, The decorations in the pot may
be stars, "serpents, "marrons, gold
rain," and so on "Marrons" are small
paper shells filed with grained powder
and pinned with quick match. "Ser-
pents" are small cases about one-half
inch in diameter, in which is a com
position of three parts inter- three sui
phur, sixteen meal powder, one-half
charcoal. This composition is driven
in the case, the top oe which is closed by
plaster of paris, having small aperture
through which passes piece of quick
match

Some three or four weeks ago g. G..
Coutant, of Lamar, arrived at the Hotel
Ramona, at Cascade, says the Denver
Ne,US. Col. Derby, the manager,
shook him by the hand, scanned his
features earnestly for moment, and
inquired: "Mr. Coutant, were you ever
in London, Ontario?"
Il was there once" replied Coutant,
about 1867, L think"
WAS pretty certain it was you," said
Col. Derby, "You were at the Tecum-
sch House the night it was attacked by
the mob"
The two men shook hands and the
recognition brought out the following
story:
Col. Derby was q native of Mont
gomery, Ala, and was an ardent and
enthusiastic Confederate After the
close of the war he drifted into Canada
and became manager of prominent
hotel in London. During the excite
ment of the Fenian invasion very Bit
ter feeling, as will be remembered,
existed all over Canada against the
United States, and one evening mob
assembled about Col. Derby's hotel, in
London, and demanded that he pull
down the stars and stripes which he
had floating over the house. The
Colonel very politely but very firmly
declined to comply with the demand
Then the excited Canadians proposed
to take them down: and Col. Derby be-
gan vigorous measures for defense
The street was packed with an angry
crowd, and its leaders were evidently
bent on raiding the hotel. One flag
hung outside just above the door, and
this the mob succeeded in pulling down
by driving nails into large pole and
forming q hook with which they tore
down the stars and stripes. But when
they attempted to enter the hotel to
reach the flag on the dome of the build
ing they We're met by Col. Derby and
the few Americans who happened to be
stopping at the hotel, who swore they
would kill the first man who offered q
further insult to the national flag.
There was a dangerous glitter in the
eye of the ex-Confederate Colonel as
with his revolvers he faced the Canadian
mob and warned them back. The
American spirit conquered; the mob
hesitated fell back and dispersed, and
the old flag continued to float over the
hotel so long as Col. Derby remained
its manager. The incident has its les
son and illustrates not only the per-
sonal bravery of the man. but also the
love of the American for the flag, no
matter what uniform he may have worn
during the civil war.

Disease in Lower Animals.

The theory is held that some of the
lower animals suffer from disease in
duced by the same family of germs that
cause typhoid fever in the human spe-
cies, and that they may, bv means of
their secretions and excretions and
slaughtered carcasses, convey the dis
ease back to man. Many instances are
recorded where outbreaks of what APP
peared to be typhoid have been traced
to the eating of meat of animals known
to have been diseased when killed. One
authority relates the following: A
butcher refused to buy q calf, because
it was manifestly ill the family, there
fore, to whom it belonged killed and
ate it themselves, and six of their num-
Der were attacked with typhoid fever.
DIR. Crawford tells of another instance
of this sort. AT Kloten, a place seven
miles north of Zurich. on the Both of
June, 1878, festal board was spread,
and $50 persons partook of the viands,
of whom 290 fell ill with typhoid fever,
and 37S others who had eaten at the
inn whose landlord had furnished the
collation., making in all 66S persons af-
fected with the disease from the effects
of the same feast There were 40 9TH
ers affected secondarily, making III
cases directly and indirectly from the
feast The cause of the outbreak was
traced directly to sick calf furnished
the innkeeper by butcher, as it was
clearly shown that only those who par
took of the veal thus furnished We're at
tackled This veal had been procured
of a dealer at Seebach, who had sold the
liver of the same animal to fellow
townsman, who was in like manner at
tackled with typhoid fever. The brain
of the same animal was sent to the par
souage at Seebach, and all the family
We're attacked with the same disease.
The calf was ascertained to have been
almost dead when receiving the dis
patching blow from the butcher. Not.
withstanding the large number of in
stances which appear to support the
theory that typhoid fever is communi-
Gated by animals to man, it is by nc
means settled that such is possible. In
fact, there are grave doubts il the
disease caused by eating meat believed
to be infected was actually typhoid fe'

How to Get Good Claret.

Whilst vast quantities of wine in the
Medoc are bottled at the end of the
second year, the fine wines are kept in
casks until the third or fourth year.
Once in bottle, well corked, the mind
OF man may be at rest about his wine,
which, up to certain limit of time,
for care again presents itself is in
getting the wine out of the bottle with
out shaking. Most wine pantries are
furnished with q small basket, in which
the wine bottle may rest whilst the wine
is drawn into the decanter.
Wine merchants, wine tasters and
experienced wine drinkers in the Me-
doc do not trouble themselves about
these contrivances. They carefully
lift the bottle from horizontal to an
upright position some three or four
hours before it is wanted for the table.
At the same time they carefully mark
the side of the bottle that has lain up
permost, and in decanting pour out the
wine from that, as it is sure to be free
from dust With steady hand they
draw from bottle maximum quantity
of absolutely clear, bright wine. Any
one who desires to drink good glass
of Medoc or Bergundy will not decant
it till almost the moment it is required,
thus preserving the freshness of the
aroma. Good wine needs no bush: but
in our climate (Which, by the way, the
experts of the Medoc declared to be the
best possible for storing fine wines) it is
better for little warmth. Rather than
drink red wine in tha wintar montbc
drawn from celler in which the tenn
perature has not been maintained at n
desirable pitch, it is better to put the
wine where it may feel the fire. A
better way still still is to leave it on the
mantlepiece of the dining-room for four
or six hours before it is to be decanted
when it will have an opportunity of ac-
quiring something like the temperature
of the room. 1t is we'll worth while
warming the decanter before pouring
in the wine, so that it may not receive
the shook of contact with the cold glass.

A few nights ago, while party of
young men and women were walking
under the shade-trees skirting the
Lafayette cemetery, they were startled
by number of wild cries issuing from
the center of that buring ground. The
hour was about 8, and, although there
were twenty persons about, none of
them at first could muster enough cour-
age to go in. Then some of them,
guided by the sound, made their way
between the graves to vault near the
center of the cemetery. The vault top
rises only few inches above the
ground, but there are n number of holes
piercing the sides, and the investiga-
tors threw themselves prone before this.
For time they could see nothing.
Then one of the watchers discovered
the outline of a human form, and an
other piercing cry rent the air. Salts
fed now that the thing within was a
ghost the men sprang to their feet and
ran like mad to the streets. The mys-
terry was not explained until Officer
Smith passed that way. Just as he
reached the vault in question he noticed
the white face of man who was living
on the floor inside. He promptly
broke in the door and found JAS. n.
Clarke, one of the grave-diggers, in a
half unconscious condition, leaning
against the side of the vault. 1t was
some minutes before he could talk.
Then he said
Il came into the vault yesterday af-
ternoon to do some work. There are

The Bad Old Times,

For change, how does the foregoing
caption look? We have long been ac-
customed to the other phrase, "the good
old times;" let us change it. There
were the bad old times Of the French
and the greatest murderer was the best
fellow. There were worse old times
before the French revolution; times of
tyranny and royal caprice and unutter-
able debauchery in high places; times
that could only be purified as by fire.
There were the bad old times of the
middle ages in Europe, when children
were allowed to have their feelings
wrought up so that they would enlist
by the 10000 in q hopeless crusade
against the Moslems, only to die by the
10000.
There were the bad old times in En-
gland when it was perfectly respecta-
BILE thing for gentleman to get drunk
once in while, and when no one was
read out of good society because he was
n gambler, and when women labored
halI-naked in the coal mines, worse
treated than the donkeys themselves
There were the times when only the
few could obtain an education, and the
masses could scarcely hope to get above
the condition of their fathers.
There were the bad old times in our
own land when there was only one pro-
Tossing Christian to every fourteen of
the population, instead of one in five as
at present; when our rulers were pro-
nounced atheists and our scholars were
pronounced skeptics. There were the
bad old times of slavery and disunion
and Civil War and carpetbagism. There
were the bad old times when no one
voice, even of one crying in the wilder
ness, was raised against the curse of
rum-selling; when some ministers of the
Gospel themselves tippled at each house
on their round of pastoral calls, and
the members of the flock were not slow
to follow their example.
Let us thank God that the bad old
times have gone never to return, as we
hope The new times are not as good
as those that are coming, but they are
better than the past, and the eastern
sky is Frightening Golden Rule
