A Chinese Funeral.

The progress of the inidustrial1 arts ha s (10110 away with much of the household driudgery to Y which women were formerly subjected, t. and tihe result is inl too many cases, e want of sullicilent occupationi for fneeded bodily exercise,. It says, tie fruits of this state of things are strik s ing exhibited in cei tain observations t made by the late )r. Robertson, a d Manchester surgeon, who in Is prac e Lice as a specialist for womeni's diseasus found that In women who themselves performed all their household work, there was no trace of certain com a plaints; that tihese complaints begin to e make their apl)ealralco in women who I have one servant, become moro pro e nounteed in wonen who have two ser vants, or still worse with those who ~have three servants, and so on1.

Taxs Dio-sWTION OF THE IlisX.-T'l| horse's stomach has a capacity of o1 about sixteen quarts, while that of ti ox has two hundred and fifty. In ti intestines this proportion is reyersem the horso having acapacity of one hut dred andi ninety quarts, against oil hIniIdred of the ox. The ox and m: other animals have a gall-bladder ft the retentin of a part of the bile si creted during digestion ; the horse ha none, and the bile flows directly ii the intestine as fast as .secreted. Th constriction of the digestive apparatt indicates that the horse was formed I eat slowly and digest continually bulk and innuitritious food. When fed o hay it passes very raphidly through th stomach into the intestine. 'ihe horf can eat but ive pounds of hay in a hour, which is charged, during mast cation, with four times its weight saliva. Now the stomach, to digest Well, will contain btt about ten quart: anld When the anial ats oie-third < his daily ration, or seven pounds, I one and oine-hal i houirs, he has swa lowed, at I.'ast. two stomacls full < hay and saliva, one of these havin passed to the intestine. Observatio hts shown that the food Is pased t the intestine by the stomach in the oi der in which it is received. If we fee a horse six (Itartsof oats it will Jist 11 l.-: toAch1,0, anid It', as soon ats het III ishes this, we feed him the above ratio of' seven pounds of hay, he will ef luillielent In three utiarters of tai ho to have forced the oats entirely out his stomach into the intestine. As it the ofilee of the stomach to digest th nitrogenous parts of the feed, and as stomach ful of oats contains foutr or fly tUmes as much of these as the sam aimount of hay, it Is certain that eithe the stonach mist secrete the gastri juice five times as fast, which Is hardil possible, or it must retain this food fiv times as long. By feeding the oal first, it can ontyly be retained long enoug for the proper di gestton of hay, const queintly It seeis logical, when feedin a concentrated food like oats, with bulky one like hay, to teed the latte ilrst, giving the grain the whole tim between the repasts to be digested. PUNCTUnEI WOUNDS. - PlIle~ture wounds of the horse are those Inhllicte by a polinted body, is iall in the foo point of a fork, or splinter of woot Theso are the most dangerous kind c wounds, for they are frequently th cause of fistula and locked jaw, say the Modern H[orse Doctor. We make an Invarirble rule, in the treatment punctuered wounds, to first exanine b probe or otherWIse, and remove an foreign body that may be present, an then poultice with flaxseed, into whic we stir a small quantity of IIr balsan iI puncture of the foot by nall, instea of plastering it with tar, and foreing tent into the orillee, and then coverin theo sole, with leather, as most black smiths are wont to do, we have the sh taken off, the foot washed clean, and moderately warm pOlltice ap plied, an renewed diaily, until the suppuratlh stage commenecs. That once establis ed, we consider our patient safe; fc many mcn, as well as animals, hav lost theli lives from the absorption < pits formed In the woind after the ex ternal breach ha1 healed. When a hoi Is i nj u red by the point of a inall, or forl the tire Is rather tedious; the primar woumds, however, are the same.

It is certainly the most con- I e venient and quickest, and almost all 1, kinds of large fish, with which our t- markets abound, suiclh as cod, sheeps o head, striped bass, sea bass, salmon and it halibut. are cooked li this way. The ir method'of boiling for large flIh Is to I 3- put thom in cold spring water--the less I , tile quantity of water that the fish can ;o be bolled in the bettor-with a handful Is of salt thrown in. It is always sale to is rub a little vinegar on the skin of the o fish to prevent It from cracking, and to 1 y make the flesh solid. Tte time of boll i Ing depends, of couirsc ipon the size of e the fish. Teu minutes to a pound should t o be allowed for a salmon, and three or n four minutes for almost any other kind, I- but a good general rule is that the fish t if Is done when the fins pull out easily. t it The waiter should be skimned once or 4, twice IL, least. The two ttmost conveni- I f ot, sauces to be served with any of i these varieties of bolied i1sh are a plain 1 I- "'hite saitce andt a yellow sauce called if lifllawmaise. The white sauce Is made I g 1)y piltti~ig a tablespoon1ul of flour or i n arrow-root in a sm.dl saucepan. Mix o It into a smooth paste with cold water, '- add one-half pint of the water in which a d the fish was bolled, stir well until it I l1 bolls or thickens, addI a teaspoonful of 'i - vinegar or lemon juice, and srve in a t n gravy-boat. The aauce lIollaundalse'is t It made by he ting two or three table- c r spoonfalls ti' water, With popper, salt I f and titineg stirred in'. Then stir in the ii .8 yolks of two eggs, but do not let the I e mixture boll; melt gradually into it an t a ounce of butter, an ounce of flour, (or I e all the butter may be used and no j e flour); ada a teaspomiful of vinegar or I r lemon juice, mid the whole shouli stir I c into the consistency of smooth, thick c y cream. With these two sauces and the I e large fish which are obtainable in good t a condition and in great variety all the It year round, a most agreeable acquaint- I - ance can be made with .ish, as an hon- I g ored auxiliary to all the pleasures and r a conveniences of the table. Most of the r smaller salt water and fresh water fish, e which.are more or less bony, are broll ed, also etlets of any of the larger fish mentioned above. As in all the best i methods of cooking flne fresh fish the a directions are very simple. Tite fish , must always be well cleaned, carefully split in two from head to tall, dried," f seasoned with salt and pepper, greased U with a little oil, which is preferable to e 1 butter, and broiled to a nice brown it coler, the gridiron having been pro f vlously well greased too. For all broiled Y fish the Maitre d'Hotel sauce is tile most Y delicious as well as the simplest. Knead ii cold, fresh butter on a plate, with ( chopped parsley, pepper, salt and lemon ( juice. The parsley will be improved d by having been scalded. Serve a part of this cold, either under or on top of the fish, and it will melt as It Is put bn - the table. Any fish may be baked, but e it Is better to use only fish that are large a enough to admit of stutfing. Tite force meat may be made very rich and high c ly-seasoned, or quite simply, but in either case let enough oil or butter be r put into the fish to prevent its becoming e dry. A good-sized fish, when stuffed, If will require an hour's baking. Baked - lish, to be eaten to pertection, should be 0 cooked with wine, either white or-red, in the baking dish, beside chopped Y onion, salt, popper and nutmeg, and I e while cooking the sauce should be It spread over It several times. When the 0 fish is done add to the wine sauce a suf ficient amount of thickened gravy or broth, seasoned with mush rooms, to nmatoes, parsley or in any way desired, and pour the wvhole over the fish to be a e baked for a feWv moments longer. - Squeeze a lemon over all andl servo in 'the baking-dish, in broiling or baking - rather large, thick fl.-h, it is wveli to I score them or maitke a few incisionts with 0 something pointed in order to secure a lthorough cooking, andi, in the case of' Sbaki ng, a thorough seasoning.
