Some Which Have Been and Some
 Which May De Lost Go View.
 The world. we have been assured time and again, knows nothing of its greatest men. Perhaps lt Is equally ig norant about It's greatest books Are we quite sure that Che Idols ln our llt csgry pantheon are arruycd In their due order of precedence? The rules Of precedence change. and who shall as sert that those prevalent ot any given time are the final o00s: But, above all. are we quite certain that there may not be a notable work of genius lying unnoticed aud unknown amid the wrecks uf the river of time, waiting only for some lucky accident that shall reveal lt In an It's beauty to an aston lshed world?
 Such accidents with suci results have been frequent In the history of the past. Indeed such accidents have pre-. served CT have revealed Co the world no insignificant proportion Of its nov acknowledged masterpieces.
 The books Of the Bible themselves have experienced the narrowest es. capes from what might have resulted ln their total loss The most notable example Is that of Deuteronomy. which disappeared from the Jewish world for over a century. The story of It's re. discovery by the high priest HCzekiah during the reign of good King Josiah Is set forth In the old Testament.
 Shakespeare was practically forgot. ten in the days when Addison wrote bis Account of the Greatest English Poets" with never a mention of the name Of the very greatest, yet it was shortly afterward that Shakespeare was resuscitated.

French Province.
 my Is a land where the pcasants ti earth In zouave trousers. torea. dor Jackets covered with arabesQut embrolderies and green walstcoat around which run lines of crimson. The women wear short red skirts great mtdicI collars and coifs that dut ter about their heads like the wings of doves. From beneath the points Of their black caps the children gaze at you with wide eyes full of the curiosity Of animals.
 These people live in houses built of sculptured granite and sleep ln open. work closets carved like the mouchara' bleks of Egypt
 In spite Of the Breton Interiors" and Returns of the Fishermen" with which painters swamp the market this raee is stn unknown or misunder stood. for they should be seen not in paintings. but in their homes, In their old time streets. on market days and when. in fair time. the tents arc pitched in the village market places.
 Fiery little horses draw to market fsh, ine vegetables and an the early produce of Roseon. They are spread out upon the sidewalk. Chickens cackle; goats bleat; pigs, tied by the leg. strain toward the vegetables, snlfr- Ing at the fresh greens.
 Farmers in sabots, carrying great blue umbrellas under their arms. with the two ribbons of their felt hats float. Ing down their backs, pick their way among the Dinan china displayed on the ground-capaclous soup tureens, cider jugs and plates covered with painted flowers and grotesQue figures.
 The peasants converse with but few gestures; they bargain in gutteral tones.
 These taciturn people forget them. selves in the barroOms on fair days The tavcrns are full Of noise. You may hear the sound of an accordion and the plaintlve note of the blnlou (a sort of bagpipe), leading monotonous dances.
 Into the harbOr come boats laden with fish; other boats go out The fishermen are full of business Next week will occur the departure for the new country. There are women who weep.
 Above all this agitation the smoke of the village chlmneys mlngles with the great white clouds. The quiet sea mir TOTS the sun.-Artist Castaigne in Cen tury.

Cold water with Ice In lt is the thing to use when an accidental burn from acids or alkalls Is encountered Nitric acid gets split at times, or even v!triol may. A limb burned with acids must be plunged in cold water and 6ep; there. so that the water may dilute the traces of the acid in the skin as much as possible.
