iMoit NmtrlUou* Food.
is subject a writer says: I f
e following article on food, i
nay do a little good to the 1
poor class in these pinching times. '
' OetaMt oontama 01 per cent, of natri- ,
tire matter; wheat, 85 j per cent.) po- <
28 per cent.; the best flesh *
meat, 25 per oent. It mhy be seen by '
the above that one pound of oatmeal ,
contains nearly four times as mnoh nn- ,
trition as one pound of beef. We pay
for beef per pound fifteen, twenty, and '
twenty-flye oents.
Nearly half the people of Ireland !
and Scotland live on oatmeal and pota- |
toes; they do not taste flesh meat onoe i
a month. The writer of this article has
not eaten flesh for a year; he finds '
himself better physically as well as J
mentally. His dinner for one day con- ,
sists of one cent's worth of oaten men i
or cracked wheat made in the form of
mush. He does not do this for economy, '
bat for health.
I would like to say a few words before
I close this article on wheat. Wheat
contains of the carbonates, or heat and
fat producers, sixty-two per cent; of
the phosphates, the class that supplies
the bones, the brain, and the nerves,
' u>d gives vital power, both mental and
- muscular, two and a half per cent.; of
the nitrates, the class that supplies the
waste of muscle, twenty one per cent.
If wheat were eaten in its natural
eondition, without bolting, it would
supply all the needed elements in the
human body; but in the process of
bolting nearly the whole of the phesphates
and nitrates are removed, so
fhat bread made of superfine flour will
sustain life only a few weeks.
The best way to get good wheat meal
is to buy of any miller half a bushel of
whole wheat, thirty pounds. Either
get the miller to grind it for you, or
take it home and grind it in your coffee
mills.,
Why We Kat.
' Food is fuel. We require food frequently
for just the same reason that a
fire requires ooals frequently, and a
Ittiiip! UU ? UUUoUOC WO OiC UIUUIU^
AvaThe air that we breathe into onr
longs oontains oxygen, and this oxygen
combines with or barns the muscles and
other organs of oar bodies, just as it
does the ooals in a fire. The heat produced
in a man's body in the oourse of
a day is considerable in quantity,
though not very intense in quality.
Taking the average, it is enough to
raise fire and a half gallons of water
from 'freezing point to boiling point,
and this is about the heat that would
be given off during the burning of a
pound of ooals. . All this heat comes
from the alow wasting or burning of
the substance of the body, so that it is
evident that if we did not make up for
this oonstant loss by eating food, onr
organs would soon be wasted away and
oonsnmed. A moment's thonght will
show how closely this agrees with wellknown
facts. Why does an animal be*
oome so thin during the slow and painful
prooess of starvation ? Because the
slew fire in his body is not fed with the
fuel of food.**
Your speech, Professor, is no longer a
riddle to us. And now we see why we
feel hungry?it reminds us to put on
more fuel. Greedy people put on too
much. Onoe the people of a country
were fighting for their freedom, and one
of their cities was besieged for a long
time by the enemy. After fighting very
bravely for a long while, the inhabitants
suffered so for want of food that
they wished to surrender. Then the
governor seized a knife and said that he
woold rather be their food than that
the city should be given up. So they
persevered a little longer and saved the
eity.
Prop?r Mode of Feeding Horsea.
Let me say a word or two, now, in
reference to feeding the horse, as bearing
upon the oondition of the foot.
Every owner of a horse must have observed
that the growth and strength
and appearance of that horse's foot is
materially affected by the condition of
tho horse himself. A half-starved horse
may have a foot injured by nutrition?
an over-fed horse may have a foot heated
into inflammation. And so dependent
is the foot upon the healthy state of the
animal economy, that for the foot alone,
if nothing else, the diet of the horse
sbould.be retaliated with the utmost re
gard to his health.
I am confident that we give our
boraes too mnch grain and too little
hay?especially horses under seven
years of age, who will work with more
endurance and courage on a good supply
of hay and a moderate supply of
grain?of the latter say six quarts of
oats and a pint of corn daily. Older
horses require and will bear more
grain?but even they want more hay
tnan is usually given. Every horse
should pass over a few weeks of every
year without grain?either the first half
or last half of the winter, whiohever is
moBt convenient. And this mode of
feeding can be adopted without suspending
the animal's work.
I have od6 horse fourteen years old,
which has had this regimen for four
menths of every year or his life (and I
bred him), and he is smooth, vigorous,
and healthy as a colt?was never out of
condition?has a sound smooth foot?
" was never lame?and has alwags been
in good driving order.?Dr. Loriny in
Mass. Plowman.
Much Batter trom Little Milk.
The recipe for making a pound of bntter
from a pint of milk, says the Inter
Ocean, is as follows : Take four ounces
pulverized alum, J ounce pulverized
gum arabic, and 50 grains of pepsin ;
place it in a bottle for use as wanted. A
teaspoonful of this mixture, added to
tne pint 01 mijz, will, upon churning,
make a pound of butter. It is true that
the butter will Beem to be a near relation
to pot cheese, but call it butter and
that will make it so. The recipe is selling
through the country for from SI to
85.
A Little Heroine.
Once in a while is told some 6tory of
heroism in a child which ought to help
the professional cynic to a little faith
in his kind. Not long ago a young
girl, lost in the woods with her little
brother, protected him from the weather
all through a bitter night at the cost of
her own frozen limbs. Some days ago
three children, a little girl of six, her
brother only four, and another little boy
six years old, went to a pond in Kentucky
to skate. That day the ice had
been cut from half the pond, and the
six-year-old boy skated directly into
the deep water and sank. The three
small creatures were all alone there.
The four-year-old tried to rescue the
poor child, but failed; then the little
girl, with a presenoe of mind a woman
might be proud to own, walked to the
edge of the ice, waited until the boy
rose gasping, seized him and drew him t
out. What a glittering romance might i
be built upon this true story of a i
obild's courage I <

An investigation was ordered by the Senate
into the matter of furnishing stationery for
reporters.
HOUSE.
Mr. Morrill, of Yt., introduced a resolution
instructing the Committee on the Contingent
Expenses of the Senate to consider the expediency
of excluding from the stationery room
of the Senate all articles except paper, pens,
envelopes, ink, pencils, and mucilage, which
was. after a lengthy discussion passed.
The West Virginia election cases were taken
up, and, on a vote being taken, Messrs. Davis
and Hagans were declared entitled to seats,
and were sworn in.
Mr. Dawes, of Mass., from the Committee
on Ways and Means, reported a bill allowing
merchandise in a United States port on July
31, 1872, to pay the duties to which they were
liable on that day, even though not in public
store or bonded-warehouse the next day. After
explanation the bill was passed.
A number of bills were presented 011 the
currencv and finance question.
Mr. Kesmith, ot Oregon, a member of the
Military committee, protested against a reduction
of the army. He defended the frontiersmen
against the aspersions usually made against
them, and he declared that the' first effective
missionary the Indians evnr had was Miles
Stan dish, and that his missionary work had
been continued by Jackson, 81ieridan and
others. Congress 'might save a few million
dollars by reducing the army, but every dollar
saved would be responded to by the blood of
frontiersmen and dv the wail of their widows
and orphans.
Slid Winters.
The mildness of the present season,
says the Pall Mall Gazette, though unusual,
bears no comparison to that of
some winters " long gone by." In 1172
the temperature was so high that leaves
came out on the trees in January, and
birds hatched their broods in February:
In 1289 the winter was equally mild,
and the maidens of Cologne wore
wreaths of violets and corn flowers at
Christmas and on Twelfth Day. In
1421 the trees flowered in the month of
March, and the vines in the month of
April. Cherries ripened in the same
month, and grapes appeared in May.
In 1572 the trees were covered with
leaves in January, andthebirds hatched 1
their young in February, as in 1172; in ]
1585 the same thing was repeated, and
it is added that the corn was in the ear
at Easter. There was in France neither
snow nor frost throughout the winters !
of 1538, 1607, 1609, 1617, and 1659 ;
finally, in 1662, even in the north of
Germany, the stoves were not lighted,
and trees flowered in February. Coining
to later dates, the winter of 1840-47, (
when it thundered at Paris on the 28th
of January, and that of 1866, the year
of the great inundation of the Seine,
may be mentioned as exceptionally mild. (
Cojipulsoby Education.?A bill for ]
the compulsory education of the children
of Illinois has passed the House, i
Children between 9 and 14 must be <
sent to school for three months of the i
year, and six weeks of this rchooling <
must be continuous. Poverty cannot
be pleaded as an excuse for failure to '
comply with the law, as all the books
necessary will be supplied by the i
State, and clothes will be given to des- ]
titnte children. Parents and guardians i
neglecting to obey the law will subject ;
themselves to prosecution and to fines '
for 13 weeks, rising from SI to $5 for '
each week of such neglect.
Opposites.?A writer in one of the 1
current periodicals cites the following 1
in support of his theory that " names 1
generally go by opposites:" 1
" Mr. Barker's as mute as a fish in the sea ;
Mr. Miles never moves on a journey ;
Mr. Goto be <3 Bits up until half-after three ;
Mr. Makepeace was bred an attorney ;
Mr. Gardener can't tell a flower from a root; '
Mr. Wilde with timidity draws back ;
Mr. Ryder performs all his journeys on foot;
Mr. Foote all his journeys on horseback." (

Those born on the first three days of 1
February, as well as on all other days :

cine venders, mesmerists, mediums, <
fortune-tellers, astrologers, and old '
humbugs. ]

Boys will be Boys,
Never lose heart because your boys
re a little wild. While you sadly call
9 mind the things they have forgotten,
on are ignorant of the things they relember.
It is the fashion for boys to
ppear indifferent to the counsels of
arents. They have an idea that it is
ather the manly and handsome thing
o take good advioe in a dogged sort of
ray, just as they take medicine, and a
ery brave thing to dare yonr threat,
dl this is written in the code of boyood.
We can't quite say with Emeron
that it is the bad boy who makes
he good man; and yet we have a great
leal of sympathy with that overflowing
pirit of youth whioh is sometimes a
ittle reckless, and which frequently
eads into misohief.
Just sit dcwn, if you have such a son,
nd recall your own early days. It may
>e difficult for you, just now, when you
re in the middle of life, to see the fun
rhioh tha boy finds in what appears to
on to be utterly foolish, or perhaps
rantonly evil; but if you will turn to
he early chapters of your own biogra>hy,
you will find yourself stopping up
he spouts of the old country house,
ust to see the rain pour over like a
vatorfall, and you will recall the fun of
he old gentleman's embarrassment, as
le rushed out into the rain,bareheaded,
o find the cause of the trouble, and
hereby got an attack of the rheumaism
whioh laid him up for a couple of
Veens.
Well, your boy is going through the
tame experience, and, by-and-by, he
rill regard it as you do now, as an unltterably
foolish thing, and wonder
vhere in the world the fun was. The
truth is, that all these pranks are as
lecessary to boyhood as the measles.
They are the result of natural animal
spirits, which can no more be repressed
man can the waters whioh come bubbling
up out of the sand.
We remember when a very wild colt
presented his heels to us in such a forjible
manner that, before our surprise
bad vanished, we found ourself in a little
disgusted heap on the other side of
t five-rail fenoe. At the time, we
thought it an unhorsely thing to do,and
felt exceedingly like pelting the creature
with stones. But he came up to
the fenoe with suon a demure and
ibashed look, and put his head beneath
the rail and snufFea at us in suoh a repentant
mood, that we concluded it
tras part of the necessary experience of
the animal, and cheerfully forgave him.
Now, boys are ooltiah. They never
think of consequenoes. They only have
the fun of the thing in view.
Don't stop praying, and praying
hopefully, for your children at such
times. By keeping close to the boy's
heart, and trying to appreciate his side
>f the matter as well as your own, you
iriil keep oontrol of him.
A Queer Family of Lunatics.
The family of James Scott, of dark
county, Ind., is afflicted with a very
strange sort of lunacy. They ore Mormons,
and Scott professes to be the
iracle of God. His wife was taken
sick late in August, and he confined
her in a room, to whioh he refused to
admit anybody bnt his son and daughter.
The neighbors made several attempts
to get in, bnt he always opposed
them. One day a Mormon minister
called and said he had received a
" manifestation from God " to the effect
that he shonld see the woman, bnt
3oott replied, " I have a later manifestation
to kiok yon off the premises,"
and kicked him accordingly. Finally,
a band of men determined to unravel
the mystery. They broke into the
room, the father, son, and two daughters
meanwhile standing by moaning
and talking wildly. They fonnd the
sonflned woman sitting in a chair, and
looking stiff and stolid as marble, her
Face void of expression, and she evidently
quite indifferent to all that was
ping on. The woman, when she was
first taken siok, got a notion into her
bead that she wonld never die, bnt
would be translated as Elijah of old ;
and, after sifting the matter, it is
pretty dearly ascertained that Scott inbended
to keep his wife oonoealed until
she died, and then give out to the
world that she was translated. A movement
has been made to have the whole
Family examined by a lunacy commission.
Small-Pox In Iowa.
People who like to have a man when
he undertakes to do a thing to do it
thoroughly, may be satisfied with the
recent achievements of a baker in an
Iowa town. The story is thus related
in a telegram from Dubuque, dated
23dinst: " The small-pox, which originated
in Cascade, Iowa, twenty-six
miles from Dubuque, has spread to
Farley and Worthington, and seems to
be getting worse every day. The dis
ease could have been checked when the
first case was discovered had the proper
measures been taken, but instead of
burying the body of the first fatal case
quietly, and at night, the corpse was
followed to the grave bv a large funeral
procession, and six pall-bearers. The
pall-bearers are now sick, as well as
several who attended the funeral. One
of the pall-bearers was a baker, and.
after helping to put the body in the
eoffin ana bury it he went home and to
work as usual, with results that might
have been expected. He is now on the
verge of the grave with small-pox, and
30 are nearly all of his customers. The
phvsicians say they have vaccinated in
and around Cascade no less than 800
fcrsons since the disease broke out.
here are forty cases in Cascade alone.
The people do not seem to feel or know
the danger they are living in, and go
about town attending to business, and,
at the same time, have a small-pox
patient in their house. They result of
such want of caution has been the cause
of the disease spreading to such an extent."
The Richmond Duel.
Involuntary manslaughter is the verdict
of a Richmond jury in the case of
W. Page McCarty for killing John B.
Mordecai in a duel last May. The trial
consumed four days in the Hustings
Oourt. The facts have been published.
The present law of Virginia makes killing
in a duel murder; but when the
jury asked the Judge if they must
bring in a verdict either of murder in
the first degree or acquittal, he instructed
them that they were not required
to do so. Had he said otherwise
the verdict would have been,
probably, acquittal, as the jury stood
nine for acquittal and three for murder
in the first degree. The jury fixed the
prisoner's fine at five hundred dollars.
The prisoner appears not to be satisfied,
however, as his counsel has asked for a
suspension of judgment and the verdict
to be set aside.
Brazilian Women.
A Rio Janeiro correspondent of the
Providence Journal declares that handsome
women are rare in Brazil, and
adds : The face is generally very plain,
and often ngly, and I really believe
that because the lack of comeliness is
so freqnent it is not truly apprehended.
The complexion is generally sallow,
never dear and fresh, and by no means
improved by the abundant use made of
oosmetios. If any single feature deserves
notice it is the eyes, and yet
these do not possess that quality which
makes even the plainest eyes brilliant;
there is no soul looking at you or speaking
to you through them. Childhood
seems to oover the whole period of
physioal beauty, and some of the children
are most interesting; yet even
then thfe habits and tastes of ignorant
and oommonly negro nurses are fixed,
in plaoe of the impression^ of a mother's
careful training,and the example of
a mother's devoted life. The exoessive
vanity of girlhood, which seems to be
encouraged by the parents rather than
restrained; the gratification of fhe
palate with all manner of sweets and

physical exercise ; and, -what is more,
nothing bat weakness inherited, cannot
assure any perfect woman] in ens. Foreign
ladies who teach in the schools
(private and select schools) have told
me that school-girl life in Brazil is in a
most lamentable moral condition. A
knowledge of French, musio and dancing
is all that is considered worth obtaining,
and then until marriage?
which doesn't come at all to many of
them, or if it does come is an arrangement
of the parents, and simply changes the
place of idleness?they wait, doing nothing,
week, month, and year, nothing;
they neither study, nor read, nor sew,
they do nothing. In the forenoon, in
a state of slothful deshabille, they
dawdle and lounge around the house ;
in the afternoon they look out of the
windows; and this is a national custom,
most striking to a stranger to see them,
white and black, high and low, educated
and illiterate, hanging out of the
windows through the afternoon ; indeed,
the window seats are filled with
cushions that the arms may not become
bruised by the continual leaning upon
them. In the evening, dressed?and
I really believe the taste displayed
would give Madame Demorest.convulsions,
if not paralysis?they sit and sit,
and do nothing else again. Sometimes
they speak, and it's wonderful what
commonplaoes can be uttered, and how
little oan be siid when the Brazilian
mouth does open. So far as female
employment is concerned, to Brazilian
girl labor for her support ? No, indeed!
She would rather have but one dress
and turn it on holidays. Her father
would sell his shirt fint, and then button
up kis seedy coat. Her mother
would die of mortification. And so
they live, poor and vain, aping an aristocracy
by mock attempt at show, the
cheap and tawdry emptiness of what is
ridiculous. The wealthier, and not
less vain, are surrounded with an
atmosphere of frigid hauteur, through
which only members of the clique have
the courage to attempt to penetrate.
The Brazilian woman develops and matures
young, and beoomes old while
still young. Her moral sensibilities
become obsoared by the life which exists
aboat her, and into whioh she may
possibly at times get a glance through
the oustoms of her father or her
brother*.^ Canning
Salmon*
Along the Columbia river in Oregon
are the "salmon factories," whence
come the Oregon salmon, whioh, put
up in tin cans, are now to be bought
not only in onr Eastern States, but all
over the world. The fish are caught in
weirs, in gill nets, as shad are oanght
on the Hudson, and this is the only
part of the labor performed by white
men. The fishermen carry the salmon
in boats to the factory?usually a large
frame building erected on piles over
the water?and here they fail into the
hands of Chinese, who get for their
labor a dollar a day and their food.
The salmon ore flung up on a stage,
where they lie ia heaps of a thousand at
a time, a surprising sight to an Eastern
person, for in such a pile you may see
fish weighing from thirty to sixty
pounds. The work of preparing them
for the cans is conducted with exact
method and great cleanliness, water being
abundant. One Chinaman seizes a
fish and cuts off his head; the next
slashes off the fins and disembowels the
fish ; it then falls into a large vat, where
the blood soaks out?a salmon bleeds
like a bull?and after soaking and repeated
washing in different vats, it falls
at last into the hands of one of a gang
of Chinese whose business it is, with
t- -- floli infrt
llCttVjr JtUlVCB) VKJ uuup bUG UOI1 IUVU
chunks of suitable size for the tins.
These pieces are plunged into brine,
and presently stuffed into the cans, it
being the object to fill each can as full
as possible with fish, the bone being
excluded. The top, which has a small
hole pierced in it, is then soldered on,
and nvo hundred tins set on a form are
lowered into a huge kettle of boiling
water, where they remain until the heat
has expelled all the air. Then a Chinaman
neatly drops a little solder over
each pin-hole, and after another boiling,
the object of which is, I believe, to
make sure that the cans ore hermetically
sealed, the process is complete, and
the salmon is ready to take a journey
longer and more remarkable even than
that which their progenitors took when,
seized with the curious rage of spawning,
they ascended the Columbia, to deposit
their eggs in its head waters, near
the centre of the continent.
I was assured by the fishermen, says
a letter writer, that the salmon do not
decrease in numbers or in size, yet, in
this year, 1873, more than two millions
of pounds were put up in cans on the

Treating the Wrong Disease.
M&ny timea Women call upon their family
physicians, one with dyspepsia, another witn Be*
palpitation of the heart, another with trouble
of the breast, another with pain here and there,
and in this way they all present alike to themselves
and their easy-going and indifferent nn?
doctors, separate and distinct diseases, for Hogi
which he prescribes his pills and potions, assuming
them to be such, when, in reality, they ??e?
are all symptoms caused by some uterine 0?tt
disorder; ana while they are thus only able

There can be no necessity, at this late day, Wh<
for the press to speak in commendatory terms Bye
of this remarkable medicine, in order to promote
its sale; for it is a medicine that is Oata
known and appreciated the wide world through.
For various diseases, such as rheumatism, Wba
cholera, cholera morbus, burns, sprains.bruises, ^
and so on to the end of the catalogue, we are rati
convinced that there is no remedy before the ol0'
people equal to Davis' Vegetable Painkiller,"
and we know that thousands upon Oott
thousands entertain the same belief. Certainly, ^
we cannot refer to the history of any medicine Oor
which equals that of the Pain-Killer. It was ?*t
introduced in 1840, and from that time to this
its sale, both at homo and abroad, has -con- Nf
stantly and rapidly increased, and we rejoice
^ the high reputation it has achieved, because
thiB reputation shows that it has been the
means of relieving a vast amount of human
suffering.?[Com- rt
