For the Protection OF Railways in War.

France has in her army a urilue
body of troops for the protection of her
railways in war. Most of them are
men living near the eastern boundary

A NOVEL experiment has been de-
vised for the entertainment of dinner
guests, the serving of salad grown
under the eyes of the guests who par
take of it, The secret of performing
this magic feat is in soaking good
terminating lettuce seed in alcohol for
about six hours, and sowing it in an
equal mixture of unslacked lime and
rich soil. After the soup has been
served sprinkle the seeds with luke
warm water and they will sprout inn
mediately, the lettuce growing to
about the size of hazel nuts before the
time for serving the salad arrives.
