 and the caps of the Hussars and Grenadiers have pre- 

 sented a tempting opportunity for heing filled with 

 tobacco. The soldier's drum and trumpet, and the 

 casque of the cavalry have all been adapted to the 

 same use. An arm firing a pistol makes an entire 

 pipe ; a mortar does duty for the bowl of another ; 

 while one formed like a cannon, with two bombs 



placed upon it, allows the smoker to fill both of them, 

 and, with one " draw," smoke two pipes at once ; a 

 pertinent illustration " of the economy of time and 

 labour," so much desired by some philosophers ! 



The Naturalist may rejoice with a figure of a butter- 

 fly or a duck, both brilliant in natural colours, or a green 

 frog from the atelier of Dutel, which is so humourously 



expressive that it carries the mind to the marshes of 

 St. Omer and Holland, and "the most sweet voices " 

 which greet the stranger from their myriad inhabitants.
