NOTED DIVINE.
Subject: "The Law of Heredity."
LText : "Whose son art thou, thou younp
?I Samuel xvii., 58.
Never was there a more unequal fl^ht than
that between David and Goliattv David five
feet high. Goliath ten; David a shepherd boy
brought up amid rural scenes, Goliath a
warrior by profession; Goliath a mountain of
brasgadocio. David a marvel of humility;
Goliath armed with an iron spear. David
armed with a sling, with smooth stones from |
the brook. But you are not to despise these i
latter weapon?. * There was a regiment of
slingers in the Assyrian army and a regiment
of slingers in the Egyptian army, and they
made terr.ble execution, and they could cast
a stone with as much accuracy and force a3
now can be sent shot or shell. The Greeks
1n their army had slingers who would'throw
leaden plummets inscribed with the irritating
words. "Take this!"
So it was a mighty weapon David emin
fhnf farnrma A .fflwish
rabbisa>s that the probability is that Goliath
was in suoh contempt for David that in a
paroxysm of laughter he threw his head
Lack and his helmet fell off, and David saw
the uncovered forehead, and his opportunity
had come, and taking this sling and swinging
it around his head two or three times,
and aiming it at that uncovered forehead,
crashed it in like an eggshell. The battle over,
behold the tableau: King 8aul sitting, little
David standing, his Angers clutched into the
hair of decapitated Goliath. As Saul sees
David standing there holding in his hand the
ghastly, reeking, staring trophy, evidence of
the complete viotory over God's enemies, the
fcinrr n?nn?lAra Trhnt nflr<intji??A wa.Q honored
"by such heroism, and in my text ho asks
David his pedigrpe, "Whose son art thou,
thou young man?" The king saw what you
and I see. that this question of heredity is a
mighty one.
The loDger I live the more I beliove in
blood?good blood, bad blood, proud blood,
humble blood, honest blcod. thieving
blood, heroic blood, cowardly blood. The
tendency may skip a generation or two, but
It is sure to "come out, as in a little child
you sometimes see a similarity to a great- :
grandfather whose pieturo hangs on the i
wall. That the physical and mental and ,
moral qualities are inheritable is patent to
any one who keeps his eyes open. The sim- ,
ilaritv is so striking sometimes as to be !
amusing. Great families, regal or literary, j
are apt to nave tne cnaractensucs an uuwu
through the generations, and what is more
perceptible in such families may be seen on
a smaller scale in all families. A thousand
years have no power to obliterate the difference.
The large lip of the house of Austria is
eeen in all the generations and is calle'd the
Hapsburg lip. The house of Stuart always
means in all generations cruelty and
bigotry and sensuality. Witness Queen of
Scotts. Witness Charles I and Charles II.
Witness James I and James II and all the
other scoundrels of that line. Scottish blood
means persistence, English blood means
reverence for the ancient, Welsh blood
means religiosity, Danish blood means fondness
for the sea. Indian blood means roaming
disposition, Celtic blood means fervid Jtw
Unman hlonrl means connuest. The
Jewish facility for accumulation you may
trace oiear back to Abraham, of whom the
Bible says, "he was rich in silver and gold
and cattle," and to Isaac and Jacob, who (
had the same characteristics. Some families
are characterized by longevity, and]they have '
a tenacity of life positively Methuselish. Oth- j
?rs are characterized by Goliuthian stature,
and you can see it for one generation, two j
generations, five generations, in all the gen- ,
erations. Vigorous theology runs down In j
the line of the Alexanders. Tragedy runs (
on in the family of the Kembles. Literature
runs on in the line of the Trollopes. Phil- ^
anthropy runs on in the lines of the Wilber
forces. Statesmanship runs on in the line of '
the Adamses. You see these peculiarities in (
all generations. Henry and Catherine of
Navarre religious, all their families religious. (
The celebrated family of Casini, all mathematicians.
The celebrated family of the ,
Medici, grandfather, son and Catherine, all '
remarkaole for keen intellect. Thecelebrat- ,
ed family of Gustavus Adolphu3, all war- '
riors.
This law of heredity asserts itself without
reference to social or political condition, for ,
you sometimes And the ignoble in high place ;
and the honorable in obscure place. A de- [
scendant of Edward I a toll gatherer. A
descendent of Edward III a doorkeeper. A (
descendant of the Duke of Northumberland !
a trunk maker. Some of the mightiest fam
llles of England are extinct, while some of
those most honored in tho peerage go back
to an ancestry of hard knuckles and rough (
exterior. This law of heredity is entirely
independent of social or political conditions. ]
Then you find avarice and jealousy and sensuality
and fraud having full swing in some ;
families. The violent temper of Frederick (
William is the inheritance of Frederick the (
Great. It is not a theory founded by worldly
philosophy, but by divine authority. Do
you not remember how the Bible speaks of a
chosen generation, of tho generation of the ;
righteous, of the generation of vipers, of an
untoward generation, of a stubborn genera- :
tion, of the iniquity of the fathers visited ;
upon the children unto the third and fourth ,
generations? So that the text comes tc-day ,
with the force of a proiectile hurled from
mightiest catapult. ''Whose son art thou, 1
thou young man?" !
"Well," savs some one, "'that theory dis- ,
charges me from all responsibility. Born of
sanctified parents, we are bound to be good, ;
and we cannot help ourselves. Born of unrighteous
parentage, we are bound to be .
evil, and we cannot help ourselves." Two ;
Inaccuracies.- As much as if you should say:
"The centripetal force in nature has a ten- '
dency to bring everything to the center, and
therefore all come to the center. The centrifugal
force in nature has a tendency to
throw everything to the periphery, and
therefore everything will go out to the periphery."
You know as well as I know that
von ran matfi tho ppntHnntAl nvArpnmn
the centrifugal, and you can make the centrifugal
overcome the centripetal, as when
ttyre is a mighty tide of good in a family
th't may be overcome by determination to
evil; as in the cas6 of Aaron Burr, the libertine,
who had for father President Burr, the
consecrated; as in the case of Pierrepont Edwards,
the scourge of New York society
flighty years ago, who hal a Christian ancestry,
while, on the other hand, some of the
best men and women of this day are thoso
who have come of an ancestry of which It
would not be courteous to speaL* in their
presence. Th? practical and useful object
of this sermon is to show you that if you
have come of a Christian ancestry then you
are solemnly bound to preserve and develop
the glorious inheritance, or if you have come
of a depraved ancestry then it is your duty
o brace yourself against the evil tendency

mooth stones from tho brook I hope to
trite you, not whcro David struck Goliath,

ouni* man?"
First I accost all those who aro descended
t a Christian ancestry. I do not ask if your
aronts were perfect. There are no perfect
eoplo now, and I do not suppose there ware
nv perfect people then. Perhaps there was
omotimes too much blood in their eye when
liey chastised you. But, from what"I know
f you, you got no more tbau you deserved,
nd perhaps a little more chastisement
'onld havo been salutary. But you are
llling to acknowledge. I think, that they
anted to do right. From what you overeard
in conversations and from what you
>.w at the family altar and at neighborhood
bsequles you know that they had invited
od into their heart and their life. There
as something that sustains t thos? old
eoplo "upernaturally. You have no doubt
bout their destiny. Youcspectifyou ever got

alt the results of a lifetime's toil; I bequeath

not get that will proved at the surrogate'3
ofBce, but I take it out to-day and I read it
to you. I take it out of the alcoves of your
heart. I shake the dust off it. I ask if you
will accept that inheritance, or will you
break the will?
0 ye of Christian ancestry, you have a
responsibility vast beyond all measurement.
God will not let you off with just beinc as |

extraordinary advantage. Ought not a
flower planted in a hothouse be more thrifty
than a flower planted outside in a storm?
Ought not a factory turned by the Housatonlc
do more work than a factory turned by
a thin and shallow mountain stream? Ought
not you of great early opportunity be better
than those who had a cradle unblessed? A
father sets his son up in business. He
keeps an account of all the expenditures, so
much for store fixture, so much for rent, so
much for this, so much for that, and all the
items aggregated, and the father expects the
son to give an account. Your Heavenly
Father charges against you all the advantages
of a pious ancestry?so many prayer?,
so much Christian example, so many kind
entreaties?all these gracious influences, one
tremendous aggregate, and he asks you tor
an account of it. Ought not you to be better
than those who had no such advantage? Better
have been a foundling picked up off the
city commons than with such magnificent
inheritance of consecration to turn out in
differently. Ought not you, my oroiner, to
be better, having had Christian nuture, than
the man who can truly say this morning:
"The first word T remember my father speaking
to me was an oath; the first time I remember
my father taking hold of me was in
wrath; I never snw a Bible till I was ten
years of *ge, nud then I was told it was a
pack of lies. The first twenty iyears of my
life I was associated with thejvicious. I seemed
to be walled in by sin and death/'
Now, my brother, ought you not?I leave
it as a matter of fairness with you?ought you
not to bo better than those who had no early
Christian influence? Standing as you do between
the generation that is past and the
[feneration that is to come, are you going to
pass the blessing on, or are you going to
have your life the gulf in which that tide of
blessing shall drop out of sight forever? You
aro the trustee of piety in that ancestral line,
and are you going to augment or squanuor
that solemn trust fund? Are you going to
disinherit your sons and daughters of the
heirloom which your parents left you? Ah,
that cannot be possible?it cannot be possible
that you are going to take such a position as
that. You are very careful about life insurances,
and careful about the deeds, and
careful about the mortgage, and careful
about the title of your property, berause
when you step off the stage you want your
ohitdren to get it all. Are you making no
provision that they shall get grandfather's
or grandmother's religion? Oh, what a last
will and testament you are making, my
brother! "In the name of God, amen. I,
being of sound mind, make this my last will
and testament I bequeath to my children
all the money I ever made and all the houses
I own, but I disinherit them. I rob them of
the anoestral grace and the Christian inflnonr-n
fhnt T inherited. I have sauandered
that on my own worldliness. .Shane and

0 ye of highly favored ancestry, wake up
this morning to a sense of your opportunity
Mid responsibility. I think there must be an
old cradle or a fragment of a cradle somewhere
that could tell a story of midnight
supplication in your behalf. Where is the
old rocking chair in which you were sung to
sleep with the holy nursery rhyme? Where
is the old clock that ticked away the moments
of that sickness on that awful night
when there were but three of you awake?
you and God and mother? Is there not an
old staff in some closet? We beg you to turn
over a new leaf this very day.
But I torn for a moment to those who had
evil parentace, and I want to tell you that
the highest thrones in heaven and the mightiest
triumphs and the brightest crowns will
h? fny Ihncn tuhrt hnrl Bvll TiArwntRire. but
who by the grace of God conquered?conquered.
As good, as useful, as splendid a
gentleman as I ever knew had for a father a
man who died blasphemiDg God until the
neighbors had to put their fingers in their
ears to shut out the horror. One of the most
consecrated and useful Christian ministers
of to-day was the son of a drunken horse
jockey. Tide of evil tremendous in some
families! It is like Niagara rapids, and yet
men have clung to a rock and been rescued.
There is a family in New York, whose wealth
has rolled up into many millions, that was
founded by a man who, after he had vast
estates, sent back a paper of tacks because
they were 2 cents more than he expected.
Grip and grind and gouge in the fourth
generation?I suppose it will be grip and
grind and gouge in the twentieth generation.
The thirst of intoxicants has burned down
through the arteries of a hundred and fifty
years. Pugnacity or combatiwness characterizes
other families. Sometimes one form
of evil, sometimes another form of evil. But
it may be resisted: it has been resisted. If

the genealogical table was puUn the first
chapter of the New Testament not only to
show our Lord's pedigree, but to show that
a man may rise up ii an ancestral line and
beat back "successfully all the infiueuces of
bad heredity. See in that genealogical table
that good King Asa was born of vile King
Abia. See in that genealogical table that
Joseph and Mary and the most illustrious

scandalous Behoboam | and Ruhab and
Thamar and Batbsheba. If tbis world is
ever to be Edenized?and it will be?all the
infected families of the earth are to be regenerated,
and there will some one arise in
each family line and open a new genealogical
table. There will be some Joseph to
arise in the line and reverse the evil influence
of Behoboam, and there will be some
Mary to arise in the line aud reverse the
evil influence of Batfisheba. Perhaps
the star of hops may point down
to your manager. Perhaps you are
to be tbe hero or the heroine that is
to nnt down tho hraL-es and ston that
long line of genealogical tendencies and
switch it off on another track from that on
which it has been running for a century.
You do that, and I w.11 promise you as Que
a palace as the architect of heaven can build,
the archway inscribed with the words, "More

let me say you may be sons and daughters
of the Lord God Almighty.
Estranged children from the homestead,

There is royal blood in our veins;
there are crowns on our escutcheon; our

that fall into tho basins of crvstal and ala
baster. Come and look out of thn upholstered
window upon gardens of azalea and

while you banquet with potentates
and victors. Oh, when the test sweeps backward,
let it not stop at the cradle that rocked
your infaacy, but at the cradle that rocke<$
the first world, and when the text sweeps
forward let it not stop at your grave, but at
the throne on which you may reign tor ever

washed by the waves look to him. Tliev
seem like the warriors of some stern monarch

jagged points?no tenderness in their dark
caverns. Eagerly the mariner s eye
searches for some harbor or for some narrow

jagged cliffs ami crags look to him ! He a
bears the waves dash against their outer side f
?he feels the shock of thetempestas it beats t
against the rocks, and he is thankful that f
they rise betweeen him and the angry sea. u
The cliffs ami crags which had seemed to t
him unfriendly when he was outside them s

enfolding arms, protect him from the
storm. Without?in the world, wanderers I
from home, sailors on the deep, the eternal s
laws of God seem hard and stern. Life r
seems cruel and God unkind. The sinning p

upon the rocks. But within?safe at home \

vision of God. The darkness is gone?and g

"he tasted death." c
The apostle Paul says, "He tasted death ^
for every man." Maybe I can explain this, s
When the apostle Paul used that language it 8
had been the custom to put criminals to ?
death by making them drink poison. You (
may have heard of the great and good So- ?
crates. He was made to drink a cup of hem- ?
lock, a deadly poison ;* hence he was said to 1
taste of death, aud all who were put to
death in this manner were said to taste death. s
If there were many criminals they were s
all placed in a long row. The worst 1
man was placed at the head and made to .
diink first. Then the cup was passed along j

Now, in the language of the apostle Paul.all
men are represented as sinners deserving
death. A little boy was passing by a dark
cellar. He looked down, but he could see
nothing. He heard a noise. He looked
again, but all was dark. He said, -Papa, is
that you V" ''Yes, my son," said the well
known voice of his father, "come down
here." "0 Jr>apa,"said the boy. I am afraid,
it is so dark I cannot see you at all!" "But,
said the father, "nothing shall hurt you. I
can see you plainly. Just come right along;
I will catch you in my arms." After another
moment the dov leaped into the arms of
love. He was * glad for he was with his
father, and felt that he could always trust
him, in the dark or in the light, in the cellar
or on the housetop. Now children that is
faith. You can believe that way in your
father, and why can you not believe in your
Heavenly Father?in Jesus, your Savior??

portraits of christ.
Every true Christian life is a portraituro
of the Christ. The greatest artists uuve 1
spent themselves in striving to depict their I
ideal of the face and figure of the Savior of
men. And yet many a devout observer turns
away from these superb fancies of "groat
art" with the feeling of their insufficiency
and with a wish that the attempt had never
been made. What if he who turns regretfully
from the painter's effort were to resolve
to portray the Christ, not upon
canvas, but in his own living thought, word,
and deed! Here is an opportunity for
everyone to show the ideal Man. Says
Ruskin : "Fix this in your mind as the guiding
principle of all right practical labor and
source of all healthful life energy?that
your art is to be the praise of something
you love. It may be only the praise of a
hero; it may be the praise of God. Bo
you small or great, what healthy art
is possible to you must be the expression
of your true delight in a real thing better
than your art." The living Savior is that
reality which is better than the life art
which shows delight in Him and bespeaks
His praise. It is not required of us that we
be scholars or artists, that we have wealth
or station. The smallest and the weakest of
us has ample power to make his life a porfravnl
r.f .ariirit. of Christ bv making it tO I
speak His praise and to show delight in
Him.?S. S. Times.

Almighty God, coming to a king, what
shall we ask for ? Thou dost encourage us
to open our mouth widely and thou will All
it. In the time of our hunger and thirst do
thou give us satisfaction, in the hour of our
weariness "do thou carry us up the steep
road. In our faintness and utter loneliness,
when the sense of orphanage comes uponjus,
and^the whole life is one bare wilderness to
our eves.and let thy fatherhood come down
upon us as a mighty revelation.as a complete
succor, as a thorough and abiding defense,
and in the Fatherhood of God, made known
to us through Jesus Christ alono, may we
find completeness of character, entireni-ss of
rest, yea, even the peace which passeth all
understanding. And when this time of trial
is done, and the cold, gray twilight vanishes,
may our eyes be open to behold the morning
and see the king in the fullness of his
beauty. Amen.

1. "Blessed is be whose transgression f8 .
Drgiven, whose sin is covered.' Oh, the t
appiness of the one who has heard the I
jord say, "I, even I, am He that blotteth >
ut thy traugressions for Mine own sake and
rill not remember thy sins" (Isa. xliii., 25). p3
l part of His name is "the Lord God, mepci- v
ul and gracious, forgiving iniquity and a?
ransffression and sin" (Ex. xxriv., 5-7). In- ti
tead of studying the story of David's great p]
in as recorded in the chapters in Samuel, u
ollowing our last lesson, our attention is in
his lesson called to David's penitence and
orgiveness. While God nates sin and can- ei
iot bok upon it, Ho is ever ready to forgive
he true penitent and urges him to come in
uch words as Isa. L. 18; Jer. iii., 12; Hos. e
:iv., 1, 2. This Man still receiveth sinners. ( p<
2. "Blessed is the man unto whom the <j]
iOrd imputeth not iniquity and in whose _
pirit theie is no guile." God was, in Christ,
econciiing the world unto Himself, not im- 11
mting their trespasses unto them (II Cor. di
19). Abraham believed God ana it was 0i
mputea unto Dim ror ncnteousness. ana he "
ras called the Friend of God (Jas. 11., 23). .1
?his righteousness came not through any is
rood works of Abraham, but wholly of grace h

ICE IN SUMMER,
OW IT IS MADE ARTIFICIALLY
NOWADAYS.
he Industry is Comparatively New
and Requires Expensive 3lachlnery?Cold
Produced by
Means of Ammonia.
NLY in the past few years
1 has ice been manufactured on
^ y a commercial scale. The
system used is the ammonia

re frozen separately. This is in disnction
from the same principle ap<
lied in a totally different way when
le ice is made in large sheets, and
:ttrward split np into cakes. Upon
itering the engine room the first
lings seen are two enormous Corliss
igines that drive the condensers,
apularly known as the "ice malines."
It is through this inetrnlentality
that all the power needed
i the factory is supplied. The oonsnsera
are two huge, upright double
plinders, whose dimensions are re

to these that the bulk of generated
or?e power is applied, and it is upon
lem that the heaviest work falls,
hey are built to withstand a very
eavj pressure and are possibly
venty-tive feet in hight, rising from
ponderous masonry foundation,
hey are separate and independent,
ut can be gearod to work in unison
i one machine. This is done when
le plant is at its fullest capacity.
It is a well-known chemical and
hvsical law that ammonia, which in
pure state is a gas, can be comressed
and congealed like all other
ases into a liquid. Ammonia
1 light, diffusible and capable of
amparatively safe transportation
1 this liquid form, which it
laintained, of course, only under
rodonre Whfin that nressnre is re*
iased the liqaid immediately returns
) its original state, but gives off Jan
itense degree of cold during that
transportation back into the form<
r condition. If this were brought
1 direct contact with a ves}1
. containing water it would
eoessarily . freeze it, but the
rooess while being a spsedy one
'ould be far from economical. Here
nters another ohemical law; pure
rafcer freezes at thirty-two degrees
'ahrenheit; water with any foreign
dmixture at a much lower temperaare.
If then we would take a tank
nd fill it with a specially prepared
rater whose freezing point was below
aat of puro water we could immerse
veseel containing the latter in the
jrmer and form ice in the vessel,
his is taken advantage of in the
manufacture of ice on a commercial
sale. The liquid that nas been touna
lost suitable is a lime, a solution of
lit containing eighty-six pounds to
very 100 pints of water. Naturally,
:M a container of pure water is suaended
in this lime and the lime ie
ept just above its freezing point the
rater solidifying at a much highei
amperature will be frozen solid if
ept there long enough. This being
ae theory it is most easy to put it into
ractice in a way that shall be commerially
valuable.
The ammonia gas, liquified and
nder strong pressure, is brought tc
tie factory in wrought iron cylinders,
eighing several hundred pounds each,
nd is taken to the top of an adjoinig
structure. Through a series ol
eavy pipes it is conducted, still undei
ressure, to the space beneath the
oor of the tank room. Below thif
oor, whioh covers about two acres, if
tie brine tank containing many gal
>ns of the salt solution. This is per
leaieu uy miico ui imuujji
'hich the new prcssure-reduced am'
lonia flows,^ n, ^
The brine is pumped and kept ir
onstant circulation by a couple ol
Dtary engines. The temperature oJ
tie brine falls far below that of th<
reezing point of water, and is bound
3 congeal anything that is immersed,
in the floor are square openings, pro
jcted by stout covers of oak and pine,
11 of which have a number. There
re 1280 of these openings on this
oor, and a similar tank room above
ives 1400 more. Through each
ne of these openings heavy,
ater-tight sheet iron containers
re lowered, open only on the
m_ Thesfl are filled with the dia
lied and filtered water, and as it fills
atcmatically, the can sink9. The
pening is then closed, and for thirtyx
hours the process goes on in that
articular can. In the meantime the
orkman has gone to another can that
as been in the brine for the requisite
amber of hours, and by a peculiar
inch and chain, raises the can from
le freezing mixture. The water has
ozen fast to the container and the
in contains a finished cake of ice. At
ae end of the floor is another tank
lied with boiling water, and by
,eans of a mcchanical trolley the icean
and its contents are dipped for a
oment into the hot water. This
iosens the ice, and it is emptied out
here it goes by gravity to the storage
[> 86. The can is then ready to be
.'tilled and immersed for another
lirty-six hours. All day lonsr, and
1 night Ions, the lids are never on
te brine tank, as the frozen product
akes room for the continuation of a
iaia of manafftoture that is endless.
The ammonia in the meanwhile, as
has flowed through the pipes, is
radually losing pressure, and is
aally useless in that form. After
jing driven through the circulatiug
ipes in the brine it is taken in its deiseJ
condition to the compressors.
; this case the compressing engines
e the two enormous, towering Herlles
machines, double pistoned, of
emcndous girth and power. Within
imr nvlinders the ammonia eras, per
otlv cool but entirely expanded, is
impressed again into its original
:juid condition, the twin Corliss ennes
keeping up a steady throb. As
piece of iron if struck repeated
ows by a hammer becomes not only
jnser in structure, but also under
)es an elevation in temperature, so
le repeated blows of the pistons in
le compression cylinders make the
)w liquified gas extremely hot.
The pipes that run from the conjnser
are 60 warm that the band canit
be placed in contact with thorn,
id in this condition the Liquified
nmonift is conducted to the coolers,
erched up above the roof are a set
: coils through which the liquid oil
culates in and oat, until all the heat is
given up. These pipes are in double
banks, carefully bent, every joint
packed with rubber, and if stretched 1
out in one continuous length would ,
extend over one mile. Over this coil ^
300 gallons of water trickle every (
minute, it being necessary to keep it ,
at one steady, even, cool temperature. \
After passing through these coolers,
the ammonia is ready to be used over
again, and 60 it starts on its ceaseless
round until the tank, through waste
and leakage, is finally emptied and a
new cylinder takes its place.
1 Each floor over the brine tanks has
' capacity of sixty tons per day, mean1
ing that there are 1280 blocks of ice
in process of manufacture on the first
story and 14Q0 on the second. Adjoining
these floors are storage houses
of 3000 tons, where the shining cates
are piled away for fature use. Natural
ice can bo packed in almost any fashion,
bnt with the manufactured article
more care must be used. Here it
is placed in layers, separated by
wooden slabs, to keep it from coming
in contact except at the edges. As it
comes from the freezing rooms it is
so cold that unless this precaution is
taken it would consolidate into one
enormous mass tnat wouia ut> mipuooible
to separate. The freezing of the
pan ice is so timed that fonr men are
, kept busy taking out full pans, re,
placing them with empty ones to be
refilled automatically, and turning the
ice out on the skid that takes it to the
storage houses. Over twenty men are
employed in the manufacture, -while
the handling, delivery, yard work and
stable men make up a grand total of
seventy.?Philadelphia Times.

and if often referred to will be found
profitable, especially in planning for
children's menus. It will be noticed
that roast pork, roast Teal and salted
beef are the trio most difficult of digestion,
eaoh requiring five hour* and
a half to digest; wild fowl, suet, salted
and boiled pork rank next witfe
four hours and a half, domestic fowl
four hoars, boiled turnips three hoars
And fifty minutes, and beet root three
