Chances of Death in Var.

No doubt every reader has seen the
statement that it takes a mans weight of
lead to kill him in battle, and they may
have considered it to be merely a rhetor-
ical hyperbole, suggested by the fact
that comparatively few out of the whole
number of shots fred in heat of battle
take effect. Marshal SAKE, we believe,
first made the assertion which forms the
base of the above, when he said it would
take 125 pounds of lead and thlrty-three
pounds of powder to put each of the enc
my in the long trench. Wild and Wis
ionary as this may seem, it appears that
there was more truth than poetry in the
remark. With all the Improvements
which have been made in the art of war
since the days of SAKE, Cassendi, the
French savant, proves that the great
Marshal's philosophical remark still holds
good.
At the battle of Solferino, according
to Cassendi's carefully deduced calcula-
tons, a comparison of the number of
shots fired on the Austrian side with the
number of killed and wounded on the
part of the enemy, shows that 700 bull
lets were expended for each man
wounded, and 1900 for each man
killed. The average weight of the ball
used was 30 grains, therefore it must
have taken at least 126 Kilograms, or 227
pounds of lead for each man killed.
Yet Solferino was most important and
bloody battle. In the Franco-Prussian
war the slaughter caused by the needle
gun among the French soldiers shows
how much superior that gun IS 70 tho
Austrian carbine yet, with that deadly

Why Stanley Came Back

When the great African explorer was
by many persons given up for lost, and
even the most sanguine were full of fears
for his safety, says the Irish Ne,es, there
was one woman in London who never
doubted that he would return. The
woman was Stanley's landlady. When
ever any one suggested the possibility
that be might never be heard from, she
replied, with perfect confidence:
ut is impossible. Mr.. Stanley has not
given up his rooms, and 1 am sure he
win return"
Stanley did return, though the world
in general has not till recently been
aware of the imperative engagement
which made it impossible for him to do
otherwise.

OYSTER cHARrRFrsr.

Take rather high loaf of stale bread
and carve out basket with sides about
an inch thick. The inside of the basket
and other pieces of bread left from the
loaf may be dried in the oven and sifted,
or used for dressing the turkey. When
the basket is ready dip in kettle of
boiling-hot fat deep enough to cover it,
and as soon as it is brown drain it on
paper and prepare the oysters. First
put pint of cream to boil with slice Of
onion; as soon as it boils add large
tablespoonful of -four, mixed first in a
little milk. Season the cream with salt
and pepper, a speck of cayenne is good,
and let it cook for five minutes. Let the
oysters come to the boiling point in their
own liquor. Skim them and drain off
the liquor and throw 1t away, and add
the oysters to the cream. Let the oys-
tiers boil up once In the cream and pour
them in ting asket of fried bread; set on
a low plats - ga @ieA with

Pace of the Camel

As matter of fact, and in spite of its
having carried Mohammed in four leaps
from Jerusalem to Mecca, seven miles an
hour is the cancels limit, nor can it
maintain thisra over two hours-a slow
pace, beyond which it is dangerous to
urge it, lest, as the Asiatics say, it might
break its heart and die literally on the
spot. When a camel is pressed beyond
this speed, and is spent, it kneels down,
and not all the wolves in Asia will make
it bulge again. The camel remains
where it kneels, and where it kneels it
dies. A fire under its nose is useless

To those who do not own French
coffee pot Marion Harland advises the
following method for making good cof
fee: Mix with a cupful of ground cof-
feeone of cold water, in which has been
stirred the white and crushed shell of a
raw egg. Put the mixture into ascalded
coffee boiler, and shake well before add
ing quart and half pint of boiling
water. Boil quickly-taking care it
does not bubble over at the top-for if
teen minutes; scrape the sides of the
boiler and dash in suddenly half cupful
of cold water. Draw the pot to the
coolest side of the range, where it cannot
possibly boil let the beverage settle on
the lees for from three to five minutes,
and draw off gently into ascalded table
pot or urn.

leave the Vatican during the reign of
The house of Savoy, and visited his
brother at the Barbarini Palace. When

Pecci was at the point of death he

holding handkerchief to his face. He
returned to the Vatican quietly and
