will prove by your present contributions
that you no longer labor under the same

DR.. Robinson, of Brooklyn, who lately

scribes Eastern modes of housekeeping
and cooking. In the matter of house
cleaning, he continued, "It was interest
ing to observe that the natives used their
feet instead Of their hands, fastening the
brush with which they cleaned the
floor to the soles of their feet in sucL a
way as to permit them to slide about in a
leisurely sort of manner, II do their
work to the accompaniment of a sort of
chant which included but two or three
notes, but which Was pleasant to listen
to. They always sang. but varied the
time according to the work they were
doing, so as to assist themselves in their
effort. hence, the faster they sang. the
faster they worked. They washed their
babies without water = sand was the
material used, and it was effective if
not pleasant TO the ~youngster who was
cleaned"

News of a wholesale change of religious
views comes to Paris from Cahors. 1t
seems that the Bishop of Cahors refused

church of the village of Murat on Sunday.
and that in consequence of such refusal
the people of Murat became alienated
from Cath olicism aud all embraced Pro-
testantism.
