Chin- mau will swallow bad eggs‘ and some ‘racs enjoy fish which we should consider putrid. Even as regards oysters. which are gala» rally ieli. Led in proportion to their fresh- ness, it is sometimes a matter of taste. For exmmple, it is recordcd of the first monarch of the house of Hanover that he objected to the English native oyster us being deficient in flavor. It was privatly suggested by a. shrewd courtier that the native oyster should be allowed to become somewhat stale before being brought to the royal table. The King at once recognized the flavor which had always 11equ him so much at Herrerhausen, and gave orders that in future he should always be supplied from that partioular bed. The absence of evil consequences after eating food which has undergone a certain amountof decay is doubtless due in many cases to the com- pleteness of the cooking process, but this does not militate againbt the general rule that food in any state of decay is unwhole- some and should be avoided."

Mr. John Gamgee expresses his belief that as much as one-fifth part of the com mon meat of the countryâ€"beef, veal, mut- ton, lamb and porkâ€"comes from animals which are considerably diseased. His inves- tigations go toVshow that horned cattle affect-ed with pleuro-pneurnonis are much oftener than not slaughtered on account of the disease, and when slaughtered are com- monly eaten, even though the lung disease has made such progress as notably to taint the carcass; that animals affected with foot and mouth disease are not often slaughtered on account of it, but, if slaughtered, are uniformly eaten ; that the presence of parasites in the flesh of an animal never influences the owner against selling it {or food; that carcasses too obviously ill-conditioned for exposure in the butcher‘s shop are abundantly sent to the raueugo maker, or sometimes pickled and dried - that some sausage makers will utilize even the most diseased organs which can be furnished to ihem. Fortunately, the appearance of good fresh meat is known to most people. It should be firm and elastic when touched, scarcely xnoistcning the finger; it should have a marblcd appearance from the rami- fications of little layers of fat among the muscles, and no odor beyond that which characterizes fresh meat. VVhon allowed to stand for some time the surface becomes dry. Bud meat, on the other hand, is Wet and sodden, and continues so ; it has, moreover, asickly odor. When the flesh has a deep purple tint it is probable that l the animal has not been slaughtered, or ‘ else that it has suffered from some fever. ‘ \Ve may lay it down in theory at all events that it is only the meat of healthy animals that have been slaughtered which is fit for the food of man, and yet there can be no doubt that the meat obtained from siolly and even diseased animals has rome- times been eaten with impunity. Itis beyond question that the saling of meat of this description has oltrn been fol- lowed by poisoLoua symptoms, but it is equally certain that those are by no means the invariable result. This apparent anomaly has given rise to much controversy, and a solution of it is only to he arrived at by having regard to the exact nature of the disease, and the stage to which it has pro- grossed. a ~,:1- The l’l'opu' \Viu‘ to Address :1 Dukeâ€" Home Amusing Cami. The excellent people at Dalkeith on Saturday passed 8t resolution to the (fleet that “ this meeting congratulates Hie Grace the Duke of Buccleuch on this the occasion of His Grace’s birthday. and expresses the earnest hope that'llis Glace may long be spared to be an ornament in the high position of the society he occupies.” Dalkeith recalls a. Story about another dukery. In Lady Blomficld’s newly- publiehod “ Reminiscencee” she tells how on one occasion an inspector war. examin- ing the children at the schools at Belvoir. Among other religious questions he asked the meaning of the word “Groom” upon which the children all with one accord exclaimed that it meant the Duke of Rutland. ‘No less an authority than the Queen herself ls cited for another anecdote in the same place about the same august word. The mother of a girl who was going into service in a. Duke‘s estab- lishment gave her daughter atxiotinjunc- tions to say ” Your Graco"if ever the Duke spoke to her. A few days afterward the Duke met her in a passage, and asked her some question. Instead of answering it, the poor girl immediately began, “ For what 1 have received," etc. A last (Sunday) night’s St. Louis despatch says: Stories are circulating that Miss Garrison was not abducted at all, but that she went voluntarily to the house with the alledged abductors and accompanied them ‘ twice a day to a restaurant for meals, some of which she paid for herself, and on one occasion she went alone and returned to the house ; and that she had not been in duress and could have gone home at am] time. These stories are strenuously denied by Miss Garrison. The police know who are concerned in the affair, but have taken no action, nor have the girl’s relatives shown a disposition to prosecute any one. Mrs. Levy, at Whose, house the girl was, says the girl told her she met the men on the road after she got 01f the car ; flirted 'With them, and one of them spoke to her, offering her shelter if she did not want to go to the convent. She said she would rather go anywhere than to the convent. One of the men concerned is said to be Mrs. Levy’s brother. Extraordinnrv Treatment at Criminals. A New Orleans despetch says : At a meeting of the Prisons and Asylums Aid Association this evening Secretary Cable said: Of forty-four parish jails two only have printed rules. In only eight are such books kept as will prevent frauds. In eighteen men and women are sometimes placed in the same cell. One jail is a pen of logs, without a. door, and the prisoners are lowered into and lifted out through a. hole in the top. Many of the prisoners are too loathsome for description, and fifteen of the jails are reported as places of boisterous and indecent ribeldry.

It was then that the bed was overturned, and after one of them had got possession of the axe she said to her youngest sister, whom she saw bleeding so profusely, “Will I kill him ?” The sister replied, ” Oh, no ;" and then it was thst the one' who had escaped unhurt mid: “ Oh, Fred, what do you mean.” This appcul, it appears, had more effect upon the murderer than physical lorco might have had, for he looked into her face, and took up the lamp, the chimney of which he had thrown at her sister’s head previously, and dashed it to the floor.

Show. There is no branch of industry where greater strides have been made than in the manufacture of shoes. All kinds of machinery have been invented, which have enabled manufacturers to turn out these goods so rapidly as to astonish civilization, but out of all the inventions none has had the effect to give the wearer so much corn- fort as the old-fashioned hmd-seWe‘d boot. or shoe. 'The expense in the manuiacture of hand-sewed work has, however, kept the price above the reach of common people. It now looks as if poor mortals would soon have a chance to wear comfortable shoes, as a. gentleman in this city has invented a process which is extremely simple in its work, but which enables hand-sewed goods to be made within a few- cents per pair of cheap machine Work. For six months , I ».~ LnAh MAIYI-vsr' n up We--.“ V. ., past Mr. Lee E. Moore has been making a. shoe by a process which, it is calculated, will revolutionize the entire business. The process is very simple, but decidedly prac- ticable, as it is equally applicable to lsdies’ work as to that of heavy work for men. Heretofore, in the manu- facture of hand-sewed work, the upper ‘ leather. which remains after sewing the welt to the inner sold, has either been cut off or tacked down and the space filled, but by the new method the upper, after having been fastened to the sole, is turned back over the welt, and in turn is again Sewed to the outer sole, thus making the boot doubly strong, and making it virtually Waterproof. In case a, poor inner sole is used so that the sewing gives Way, the welt still acts as a lever, and there is no possi- bility of the upper pulling out. In the manufacture of common work for women. where machines are used, there is a. rough seem left on the inside of the shoe, which is decidedly uncomfortable to the wearer, whereas, if! made by the proééss“a.lluded - u n,, ..=_AAI-. wucuuum, u a..- to, the inside of the boot is left'perfoetly smooth. Then. again, by the old method," nails are used to a. greater or less extent in lasting, which in due time gives the wearer unmeasura-bls discomfort, but this is entirely obviated by the new process, as no nails are used, as the upper‘does_ not require to be fastened to the inner solo except by the sewing. Those whohave investigated the process are loud in their praises, and compliment the‘ inventor highly upon its success; and it'is a. fact that manufacturers of shoe machinery are already at work endesvoring to produce a machine which will accomplish the work which is done by hand, with it good prosr pect oi suecess.â€"-Boston Herald. . - Rev.

S'E‘. CRISI‘HN. New luvruliou [or Planing Sewn] TREE NIAR‘N FIURDEREIB‘ VOL. now the Lance] Fllild ls Adullcrnlcdâ€" lsuporlancu of Giving Pure mm: to Children. Milk is perhaps the most important article of food entering into daily use, since it forms the entire, or almost entire, food of children at an age when they are but little able to resist any tampering with tlnir nourishment; but the purity of milk (adds Professor P. A. Simpson, M.D., in an article in “Good Werds”) has also an important bearing upon the health of the community at large,‘ since, in addition to adulterations which it occasionally contains, it is now known to be a ready absorbent of certain poisonous emanations producing disease ‘or death in persons using it as food. The adulterations of milk are few in number, and for the most part easy of detection. It was formerly supposed that calves’ brains were added to milk to impart richness and consistency to it. But apart from the fact that the supply of calves’ brains would be Wholly insufficient for this purpose, the admixture would require very clever manipulation to prevent detection by the purchaser. It is equally unlikely that chalk is a frequent adul- teration of milk, for the chalk, from its weight and insolubility would at once sink to the bottom of the vessel, where its prei senco would easily be recognized. Practi- cally the adulteration of milk consists in the addition of water or the abstraction of the cream in whole or in part, and the sale of the residue as new milk. But although by the addition of water milk is ren- dered less nutritious, it does not become poisonous, and we have there- fore only to consider under What conditions it may become unsafe as an article of food. Milk sometimes becomes mouldy owing to the presence of afungusâ€" the Oidiurn Lactis, or Ponicilliumâ€"and its use when in that condition has occasionally produced poisonous symptoms of a serious, character. Whether the milk obtained from animah suffering from foot-and- mouth disease gives rise in man to any dis- orders is still a disputed point; at all events it frequently has been made use of without any ill effects being induced. ~‘It is certain, however, that pigs are almost invariably seized with the same disease in. a few hours when fed with the 'milk of animals thus affected, and its presence in sheep and hares may be accounted for by their having fed upon herbage tainted with the saliva of diseased cattle. Various epidemics which have occurred in England and Scotland make it quite clear that milk is sometimes a means of conveying the poisons of typhoid fever and of scarlet fever. In the former case it has probably most frequently arisen from the watering of the milk or the rins- ing of the milk vessels with foul water containing the elements of the disease; but sometimes it has arisen from the typhoid effluvia being absorbed by the milk. The scarlet fever poison would appear t6 get into the milk from the skin or throat. discharges of persons affected with, the disease who were employed in the dairy while ill or partly convalescent. A Man \Vhosc Bruin: Set! Things on Fire. ' ' Dr. L. G. Woodman, of Paw Paw, Mich., contributes the following: I have a singular phenomenon in the shape of a young man living here that I have studied with much interest, and I am satisfied that his peculiar power demonstrates that electricity is the nerve force beyond dispute. His name is William Underwood, aged 27 years,and his gift is that of generating fire through the medium of‘his breath, assisted by ‘ manipu- lations With his hands. He will take any- body‘s handkerchief and hold it to his mouth. rub it vigorously with his hands while breathing'on it, and immediately it bursts into flames and burns until con- sumed. He will strip and rinse out his mouth thoroughly, wash his hands and sub: wit to the most rigid examination to pre-' elude the possibility. of . any humbug. and then 'by‘ ‘his breath blown upon any paper or cloth . envelope it in flames. He Will, when 'out gunning, and without- matches, desirous of a fire, lie down after colieoting dry leaves, and by' breathing on them start the fire; and then coolly take off his wet stockings and dry them. It is impossible to persuade him to doit more than‘twice a day, and the effort ‘ is attendant with the most extreme exhaustion. He will sink into a chair after doing it, and on one occasion, after he had a newspaper on fire as narrated, I placed my hand on his head, and discov- ered his scalp to be violently twitching. as if under intense excitement, V He will do it' any time, no matter where he is. under any circumstances. and I have repeatedly known of his sitting back from the dinner table, taking a swallow of water, and by blowing on his na’fikin‘ at‘once set it on fire. He is ignorant, and says that he first dis- covered his strange ’power by inhaling and exhaling on a perfumed handkerchief, that suddenly burned while in his hands.

How' and when did this lady come, ma’am? There’s a hand- some reward for whatever will lead to her discovery.” “Well,I did think there was something peculiar about her,” cried the now excited landlady, who went into a long story, describing the young lady’s rkrival, the warming of her own heart toward her-the kind attentions she had lavished on the weary stranger ; the advice the had given her, and how the poor young creature feared she could not get pupils, and thought of going out as a milliner’s drudge, or taking in plain work; of the exhortations of her (Mrs. Jupp, such was her name) “ that she should write to her friends; that she did write, but took the letter to the post her- self, and stayed out very late that night, too, and went and took other apartments.” “ Where, whore ?” ejaculated Neville.

This habit; of dispensing with religious_exercises had its origin, no doubt, in the Spotgh horror of doing anything that might’give‘ 32. color to the charge of the cus- tom of pmying for the dead. Rev. Henry M. Seudder writes to a, Chicago paper in correction of a. mistate- ment that he “ indulges ” hope for the sinner who dies in his sins. “ This," he says, “ does not fairly represent me. Will you, therefore, kindly allow me a word in your paper? 1. I believe and teach that there is no hope for a man Who refuses the salvation which is ofiered to him in Jesus Christ. 2. I believe that Christ went down into Hades and preached to those who ‘some time were disobedient in the days of Noeh.Y This is the only case of future probation that I can find in the Scriptures. 3. I think it right to hope that if there are similar cases there may be a. similar exhi- bition of mercy." Rev.

A poor Chinaman who had been helped by a. missionary showed his gratitude by praying that Budha. would turn him (the Chinaman) into an ass, so that the min- sionary might ride on him in the next life. The confidence of the people in the Methodist missionaries in the Hok-Chiang district, China,1s increasing so rapidly that the mission cannot supply the demand for aid in opening schools for girls.

A pretty girl presented herself the other day at a clinic in one of the hospitals of Vienna. and asked to be examined, explain- ing that she had suddenly become deaf in one ear, and none of her friends could account for the unexpected affliction. Pro- fessor Grubber kindly replied that he would see what he could do, and accord- ingly began to question her as to the cir- cumstances immediately attending the appearance of her deafness. After much hesitation and with many blushes, or rather one prolonged blush, the girl at last confessed that when her lover returned after a. long absence he took her in his ‘arms, and, pressing his mouth to her ear,’ conferred upon that organ 8. most intense and vigorous kiss. At that instant she felt a sharp pain, and had been deaf ever since. The professor made an examination, and found that the drum of the ear had actually been ruptured, and there is no reason to doubt that the kiss did it. The only eon- solation suggested after recording this painful accident is that it need never be repeated, if ardent lovers will only remem- ber that a kind Providence has provrded afeature far more kissable than the ear, and one which no amount of osoulatory demonstration has ever been known to injure.
