A Chinese Funeral.
Wee-Ka-Young, a Now York lau
dryman of Chinese antecedents ai
faith, was buried recently near Boll
ville, a suburb of Newark, with all t!
peculiar ceremonies of his native aIl
celestial land, but oddly alternat,
with the prayers of a Christian mini

-The Popular Sciepnce Monhly remarks
n that all of the ills and diiseases prevaitent

. traceable to the sedentary mode of life
so comm on among them. The progress

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

found that In women who themselves
performed all their household work,
there was no trace of certain com

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

injctions, ats alum111 wateir, etc. In caS

O . How ro COOK Fxsu.-Bolling seems
y to be the :ngst legitimnate way of - cook- I
0o lug fish. 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'
