KIENOR AND ART.
Brandy began to be distilled in France about
the year 130 ; but It was prepared only ass medicine,
and was considered as possessing such marvellous
strengthening powers that the physicians termed it
Eau de Vie," the water of life,e a name it retains,
'though now rendered, by excessive potations, one of
ilfe's moat powerful and prevalent destroyers. Ray
mend Lully, a disciple of Arnold de Villa Nova,
considered this admirable essence of whfe to be an'
emanation from the Divinity, and that it was in
tended to reanimate and prolong the life of man.
Ile even thought the discovery indicated that the
time had arrived for the consummation 6f all things
—the end of the world. Before the true means of
determining the quantity of alcohol in spirits were
known, the dealers were in the hableofemploylng
-eery rude method of forming a notion of the
'strength. A given quantity of spirits was poured
-upon a quantity of gunpowder, in a dish, and set on

continued dry enoughidt took fire and exploded,
-but lilt had been wetted by the water% the sedate,

the powder on fire. This was called the Moor.
Spirits which kindled gunpowder sere said to-be

It is abvioue that its meaning must have been deem

—Quinine is now the king of medicines; and
while every one regards it as the most reliable and
invaluable of remedies, there are many who think
that with quinine and opium they can treat all dis
eases. The demand is enormous, and the more espe
cially if we recall the rapidity with which this
younger scion of medicine has come into its rights.
Into this country bark found its way for the first
time late in the seventeenth century . ; and in France
It won Its entrance into the pharmaeopceis by curing
_Louie XIV., being used then for him as a secret
remedy, and on the following conditions: 48,000
Byres, 2,000 livres as a pension, and the title of che
valier. The communication between French and
Zoglish physicians was not then complete or MU
!mato, and so this magnificent price was obtained for
Pellet's remedy, which was only a vinous tincture
of quinine commonly employed in England. Louis
XIV. ordered its admission into the pharrnaoomnia.
Tile sources of quinine are, however, gradually fail
ing under the pressure of the enormous demand a lthough the although the experiments of the British Go
vernment in forming plantations of cinchona trees
In India have met with success in an important de-
gree, yet the best kinds of quinine-bearing trees are
said not to have succeeded so well as the others.
Tho white swelling has been successfully treated
in France in the following manner: Long linen
compresses, covered with a plaster composed of 40
grams of Neapolitan ointment, 20 grams of medici
nal soap, and 10 grams of belladonna ; over these
compresses slips of diaohylon plaster, circularly ar
ranged and enveloping the whole knee joint; over
this a thick and strong dextrined bandage, and,
hotly, a bandage rolled up trom the knee to the
thigh. For the space of eight months the dressing
was renewed at first once a week, then every twelfth
day, thence once a fortnight. General treatment
and regimen were prescribed, and although the
patient's limb was much larger than the other, and
a fistula had broken out under the kneepan, and the
pain dreadful, admitting neither exercise, nor sleep,
nor appetite, which caused fever, in eight months the
limb was almost entirely restored, excepting that it
was somewhat smaller than the other.
At Angerville, in France, a laborer in digging
lately brought to light a stone coffin. in the form of
an angel, containing the remains of a human skele
ton reduced to dust. Several articles of value were
likewise found in the coffin, including a large bronze
bowl, beautifully sculptured; the fragments of a
silver basin, completely oxydized ; a large chased
gold ring, but wanting the stone which had been set
In it, this being the work of the Lower Empire ;
very large horn comb, richly ornamented ; a pearl
necklace, some broken glass vessels, and a coin of
the realm of the Emperor Grattan. This coffin, ells.
covered not 'far from a very ancient road, appears
tot to have been alone ; and M. Berrver, the owner
of the property, has giien orders to dig the ground
all round, to discover whether it was not a burial
place of the last period of Roman domination _in
Gaul.
The flashes of lightning often observed on -a
summer evening, unaccompanied by thunder, and
popularly known as "heat lightning," are merely
the light from discharges of electricity from an or
dinary thunder cloud, beneath the horizon of the
Observer, reflected from clouds, or perhaps from the
air itself, as in the ease of twilight. Mr. Brooks,
one of-the directors of the telegraph line between
Pittsburg and Philadelphia, informs us that on one
occasion, to satisfy himself on this point, he asked
for information from a distant operator during the
appearance of flashes [of this kind in the distant
horizon, and leamcd that they proceeded froni a
thunder storm then raging fifty miles eastward of
his place of observation.
-- A new fishing lamp has been invented, which
consists principally of a lantern, air-tight and
watertight, having a doubleeroof to rarity the air,
from which it is conveyed by pipes to the foot of the

tube, and a similar tube is fixed to the roof to carry
off the smoke and consumed air. It may be con

In France no less than 500,000,000 francs are
annually expended in tho purchase of guano bones,
phosphate of lime, and other artificial manures;
but, as in America, great frauds araeemmitted by

In 1884 ten thousand tons of . slate were shipped
from Fortmadoc, in Wales ; in 1883, seventy-six
thousand tons. . This is from the district known as
the Vale of Festinlog, and the shipments from Ban
gor and Caernarvon have increased in almost an
equal ratio. The demand is so brisk -at present for
elate that buyers, as a rule, have to wait about
twelve months before th6lr orders are executed, and
there is no doubt that double the yield of the quay
ries could be easily dispeeedesf.
It has been satisfactorily ascertained by actual
-experiment, that th'd surplus heat in the steam is
mot sufficient to evaporate enough water to fill its
eau volume with saturated steam, and thus keep
the'pressure, much less to increase it so greatly .
as to produce an explosion. The theory of boiler
-explosions from the mixing of water with super
heated steam may then be regarded as-settled.
Sir John Herschel, in an article in the Quarterly

MUMATIO AND MUSICAL.
.—Taima has extremely delighted MO; Ilrever go to
t French tragedy expecting that close and sober
imitation of nature which one leeks for on the Eng-
UM stage; one might as well look for It in the midst.,
of opera recitative as in, the jingle of shypie. Stiit
It is pleasure, and great pleasura,_too, tigh ofa%
different nature. I think Talma 'superior to every
performer I ever saw in the expression of bitter
scorn especially when it is.mixed with irony. Still
I think he never gave me as muoh pleasure on the
stage as he did in Lady Oharloville's drawing - -
room, where I heard him talk over. English and .
French acting, express his wish to unite the merits
Of both, deprecate the humble accuracy with which
the last mortal throes are often represented on our
stage. He spoke of Komble's Macbeth ; wondered at
his tamenasSeespeolally Immediately after the coin
mission of the menhir; and said that his whole
trame ought to have spoken of the horrid deed.
Thus far everybody must have agreed with him; but
when the very natural question Qu'auriez VOUS fait?
was put to him, and he proceeded to not his feelings,
I for one thought it most absurd, because then my
ideas were screwed up to the pltoh of Macbeth and
'nature. Probably I might have admired if I had
teen screwed up to the pitch of Oresto and French
rant. Blank ought to be allowed for the superabun
dance of action which the French bestow on the rela
tion of the common events of lifaand in ordinary eon-
Tersation. What would I give to have been present at
a scene related to me that evening by SirJ. B. Bar.

an accurate imitation of their several manners that
Sir issues told MO that he felt as if he, too, had been

GENERAL NEWS.
A Was'rnwx BABBILOITIL—The barbecued meat
which gives the -characteristic name to these par
ties, is the sweetest meat, from the manner in which
it is cooked, and the appetite the occasion tonally'
gives, ever cooked by mortal hands, the delicate
brown and crisp - morsela reminding one of the glo w
ing description given by Charles Lamb in his dis
sertation on the roast pig. The mode of preparing
this Western country masterpiece of cuisine Is the
simplest. No iron or metal of any kind comes in
contact with the flesh during the process, and no
stone coal or smoking wood is used. A deep pit Is
dug In the earth some six feet long by three wide
and lour deep, in which a bed of-live coals is thrown.
Choice cuts of beef, mutton, and young pork, some.
times a whole pig or lamb, barbed on a long thin
sharp poplar cue, are placed in rows across the pit,
and slowly turned over the live coals by swarthy
black cooks, who swab the dripping pieces, from
time to time, with rags fastened on a stick and dip
ped In butter. In this way the meat is done slowly
through and through, and no part burned. Roast
Utah, pig, and beef, barbecued together, with home
made bread and coffee, make a repast, eaten with
the appetite which the excitement of the drive and
the country give, which, in our estimation, rivals
the ambrosial and bromatlo feasts of the Olympi
ans.
EVICHNTHING IN BAGS.—The wholo world of or
ganized beings is put into bags and is made up of
bags. If we examine our own bodies yy.e find that
every organ is placed in Its appropriate sack, and
each is termed of a series of sacks. The brain is
surrounded by the pericranium, the heart by the
pericardium, each bone by the periosteum, and all
of these are delicate membraneous bags. Each one
eine, as well as each of the myriads of lower orderti
of animals that have appeared on the earth, com
menced its existence as a Simple sack or cell, and
its growth proceeded by the addition of other cells.
If we place a thin shaving of any bone, or a'minute
scrap of any organ under a microscope, we find that
it is formed of multitudes of minute cells or bags.
And finally the whole system is put into the perfect
bag, the skin. Bags alsci play a great part in olvlll

entered the magazine, but did not explode. Upon a
search being made for the rebel missile, it was dis
covered that it bad passed through two barrels of
powder and lodged in a third, from which it was re
moved. At the time this kindlyahell made its grand
entree into the magazine there were about one hun

TEN Any TARP.—As the season is now at hand
for these pests (the ants), housewives and others
who are troubled with them may probably use the
following trap to advantage: Procure a large
sponge, wash it well, and press it dry, which will
leave the cells quite open ; then sprinkle over it
some fine white sugar, and place it near where the
ants are troublesome. They will soon collect upon
the sponge and take up their abode in the cells. It
is only* necessary to dip the sponge in:scalding
water, which will wash them out dead by.the tens
of thousands. Put on more sugar, and set the trap
for a new haul. This process will soon 'clear the
house of every ant.
