A vear or two ago 1 was chef In a country gentleman s household in Eng land. The morning after my arrival I looked around the kitchen garden, and In the dust bin that stood in the back varrl I saw a mixture of food that could have been turned into a class dinner.

We believe that there is still some market for cauls among sailors, wbo retain their belief in the efficacy of the membranes as a protection against shipwreck and drowning. Notices of "Cauls For Sale Within" were to be seen recently In windows in the vicin ity of the docks of both London and Liverpool, but It is Rome time, alnce we have noticed an advertisement of a niul for sale in the dally press. It may be remarked that the sale of cauls, so far from being a very ancient custom, is a comparatively modern Innovation. The witchcraft of the middle ages de dared against the caul retaining any virtue whatever If parted with by gift or sale to any but a member of the child's kiudred. Iondon Lancet. CIVIC IMPROVEMENT.

The road to eminence and power from an obscure condition ought not to be made too easy nor a thing too much of course. If rare merit be the rarest of all things it ought to pass through some sort of probation. The temple of honor ought to be seated on an eminence, if It be open through virtue let it be remembered, too, that virtue Is never tried but by some dltll- culty and some struggle. Burke. .
