The method varies with the differing na- tionalities of the peoples employing it The -Armenians of Russia cover tic entire skiji of the infant with very fine salt. This is left on the body for three hours or more, when it is washed olT with warm water. .â- \ mountain tribe of Asia Minor is even more peculiar in this re- gard than the .\rmenians, for it is alleged to keep the newborn babies covered with salt for a period of twenty- four hours. The modern tJrceks alio sprinkle their habitus with salt; and even in certain por- tions of Germany salt is still used on a child at birth. The mothers imagine that this practice brings health and strength to their oflispring, and serves as will to keep away evil spirits. No opinion can help you to hea- vo'i if it makes you hate your bro- ther man.

"This lime they tried to blow up 'the Winter Palace. The emperor esaiM'd mirajuilonsly, but bravo soldiers h.tvc perished." •'It is alxnninable," said the banker, earnestly. "I suppose this ciimf was the work of those ban- dii' whom you call Nihilists." There is no doubt of it. The Be(t has doelnrfKl war on the gov- ernnu^nt and on society. It is the right and dtity of the government to riefend its sacred interest, and il calls upon all its servants upon w he .c dey/^tion it can count. I »m "Thank ,v<iu, sir.

Yon have not, I supjxise,! forgotten that it was sti^len, and, the singtilar circumstances that ac-l companied the theft; aiul you be-| lieve me that the accomplice of the thieves was your siicrelary." "I think so still. My ne))hew has the proof." ".Ah!" said the .:o!onel, looking fi.vcdly at Maximo, who remained unmoved. "I. too," he resumed, 'Jiave the proof that M. de Caruocl was in_ league with the thieves. I have searched for, have found him, ar- rested and retained him for a long time at my house." "Without letting mcknow!" ex- claimed the banker. "It was useless. Y'ou had given me carte blanche, and 1 was free to act in my own way. I endeavor- ed to extort a confersion from him, but your ci-devant secretary knew that his friends would not abandon him, and preserved an obstinate silence." "But what are you going to do with him?

"Ma foil" exclaimed the banker. "I shall not be sorry for him to go elsewhere to get hung." "Ho will not be hung anywhere, for th !y do not hang in France, and he has, I believe, no intention of quitting it. Ho is in Paris, and perhaps not far from the Hue de (Suresnos. It was to make this known, that I called upon you." "I am very much obliged to you, *[-olonoi," stammered the banker. "I shall take my precautions." '•You would do well to do so, for I am satisfied he will attempt to introduce himself into your kouse. I received .yesterday the visit of a Ilussian who represented himself as sent by the chief of the pcditical police, and who succeeded by a gross stratagem in effecting the lib- oration of M. de Oarnoel.
