flow to Eat Wisely. As a. universe-hula in health, and, with very rue exceptions, in diseaae, that is best to be eaten which the appetite craves or the taste relishes. Persons rarely err in the quw‘dty of the food eaten; nature“ . inatiucbs are the wisest regulators in this respect. ‘-.~.~ .- _ 1),," £116 great, sources (if mischiaf from eating are three: quantity, frequency, rapidity; and from these come the horrible dynpepaias which make human life a burden, a. tw’cure, a. li\ ing death. .. . . A. . .u Ifsz:dity.â€"By eating fast, the stomach is like a bottle bring filled through a tunnel, is full and overflowing before we know it. But the most important reason iii, the food is swallowed before time has been allowed to divide it into aullioiontly small pieces with the teeth ; for like ice in a tumbler of water, the smaller the bits are, the sooner are they dissolved. It has been seen with the naked eye. that if solid food is c11th in pieces small as half a pen, it digests al- most as soon, without being cliewefl at all, as if it had been well masticated. The best plan, therefore, is for all persons to thus comminute their food ; for even if it is well chewad, the comminution iii no injury, While it is of very great importance in 08.38 of hurry, forgetfulness, or bad teeth. Cheer- ful convemution prevents rapid eating. Froqucncy.-It requires about five hours for a common meal to pass out of the stomach during which time thifi organ is incessantly at work, when it must have repose, as any other muscle or set of muscles, after such a length of effort. Hence persons should not eat within leaa than five hours’ intervnfi. The heart itself is at rest more than one third of its time. The brain parishes with- out repose. Never force food on the atom- ach. All are tired when night comes; every muscle of the body is weary and looks to the bed; but just as we lay down to rest every other part of the body, if we, by a. hearty meal, give the stomach five hours work, whichin its weak state, requires a. much longer time to perform than at an earlier hour of the day, it is like imposing upon a servant a full day’s labor just at the close of a hard day’s Work; hence the un- wisdom of eating heartily lete in the day or evening ; and no Wonder it has cost many a man his life. Always breakfast before Work or exercise. No laborers or active persons should eat an atom later than sundown, and then it should not be over half the midday meal. Persons of sedentary habits or who are at all ailing, should take abaolutely nothing for supper beyond a single piece of cold stale bread and butter, or a. ship biscuit, with a. single cup of warm drink. Such a supper will always give better sleep and prepare for a henrtier breakfast, with the advantage of having the exercise of the Whole dey to grind it up and extract its nutriment. Never eat wikhout an inclination. Quantityâ€"It is variety which tempts to excess; few will err an; to quantity who will eat very slowly. Take no more than a. quar- ter of a. pint of warm drink. with a piace ,of cold stale bread and butter, one kind of meat and one vegetable, or one kind of fruit. This is the only safe rule of application, and allows all *0 eat as much as they want. Cold water at meals inatantiy arrests di- gestion, and so will much warm drink ; hence. a single tea-cup or axink hm or “m, is iguflirciggt {0}- any 1_nea.l. For half an hour" after eating sit erect, or walk in the open air. Avoid severe study or deep emotion, soon after (ating. Do not sit down to a meal under great grief or aur- prise, or mental excitement. Physiologists have said that if a few drops of the blandest fluid in nature are injected into a blood-vessel against the current, death is an instantaneous result. Millions of canals or tubes from the inner portions of the body, open their little mouths at the surface, and through these channels, as ceaseless as the flow of time, a fluid cun- taining the wastes and impurities of the sys- tem is passing outwaws, and is emptied out on the skin ; ordinarily, it is so attenuated, so near like the air, that it cannot be seen with the naked eye, but extraordinarily, un- der the influence of increased natural or artificial heat as from exercite or fire, this fluid is more profuse, and is seen and known as “the_sweat of the brow ”-perspiration. This fluid must have exit or we-die in a few hours. If it does not have vent at the surface of the body, it must have some in- ternal outlet. Nature abhors shocks as she does vacuum. Beat distends the mouth of these ducts, and promotes a larger and more rapid flow of the contained fluid : on the ot er hand. cold contracts them, and the flux is at first arrested, dams up and re- bounds. If the purest warm milk, injected against the current of the blend, kills in a moment, not from any chemlCal quality, but from the force against the natural current, there need be no surprise ats of mlfleots of suddenly closing the mouthusi llions of tubes at the same instant, ca. ffilg & violence at every pin-head surface of 8 body. If these mouths are gradually closed, nature has time to adapt herself to the circumstances by opening her channels into the great inter- “water ways " of the body end no harm fol- lows. Hence the safety of cooling off slow- ly after exercise or being in a heated apart- ment, and the danger of cooling off rapidly, under the same circumstances, familiarly known by the expression “checking the perspiration. ” The result of closing the pores of the skin is various according to the direction the shock takes, and this is always to the weakest part; in the little child it is to the throat, and thereis croup or diphtheria ; to the adult it is to the head, giving catarrh in the head or running of the nose ; to the lungs, giving a bad cold, or, if very violent, causing pneumonia or ivflamation of‘the lungs them- selves; orlplenrisy, inflammation of the coverâ€" ing of the lungs; to the bowels causing pro- fuse and sudden diarrhtm, or to the cover- ing of the bowels. inducing that rapid and often fatal malady known as peritoneal in- flammation; if the current is determined to the liver, there is obstinate constipation, nr bilious fever, or sick headache. Hence a. "cold" is known by a cough, when perspira- ia driven inward, and is directed to the lungs ; by pleurley, when to the lining of the lungs; by 8. sick headache or bilious fever, when to the liver. etc. ; diarrhmi 0r consti- pation when to the bowels and liver. To avoid bad colds, then, it is only neces- sary to avoid closing the pores of the skin, either mp€dly, by checking perspiration, or slowly, by remaining still untll the body is now to Avoid Colds. H E ALTH. Sir Henry Thompson has contributed to a popular magazine an article on “ Diet,” which is cslculeteo to upset some of the most cherâ€" iz-hed notions of the Well»bQ-(i0 Englishman. The popular theory is that in youth a man should he frugal in his mode of living, but that when his frugality and industry have placed him in a. comfortable position he can indulge himself more freely in the luxuries of the table, and that these luxuries are rather beneficial than otherwise. “ Quite wrong,” says Sir Henry Thompson. The men who is going down the hiilof life should reduce his Intake. “ If,” says the great surgeon, “ he continues to consume the same abundint breakfasts, substantial lunches, and heavy dinners, which at the summit of his power he could dispose of al- most with impunity, he will in time certain- ly either accumulate fat or show signs of un- healthy deposit of some kind in some parts of the bodyâ€"processes which must certain- ly smpoison, undermine, or shorten his re- maining term of life.” The loving wife who is conseer about the diminished appetite of her lord is altogether wrong ; his (limin- ished appetite arises from natural csusos, and if she manages to coax or force him to consume more food she is only doing him an injury. Even fresh milk, which is becom- ing so popular 5 drink in these days, Comes in for a share of Sir Henry’s condemnation. For those of us who have long achieved our full growth “ it is altogether superfluous and mostly mischievr one.” To sum up, Sir Henry Thompson affirms that as regards the middle classes generally three-fourths of the nutrient matters consumed are from the uni msl kingdom, and that a reversal of these proportions~i.e , one-fourth only from this source and three-fourths from vegetable sourcesâ€"would “ tend to maintain a cleaner palate, increased zest for food, a lighter and more active brain, and a better state of health for most people not engaged on the most, laborious employments of active life.’ thoroughly chilled, that is until the pores are nearly or entirely closed by inaction in a cold atmosphere or room. In the matter of health, these suggestions are of inoalcula- ble impoxtance. ONIONS (boiled). Remove the outer layers until you resell the sleek, silvery, crisp skins. Cook in plenty of boiling, salted water, until tender. Forty minutes should be sufficient, unless the onions are very old and large. Turn off all the water ; add a oupful from the tea-kettle with one of Warm milk and stew gently ten minutes. Heat, meanwhile, in n. sauce-pan, half a cupful of milk with a large tablespoonful of butter. Drain the onions in a hot clean colander, turn them into a. heated deep dish, salt. and pepper lightly, and pour the boiling milk and butter over them. Onions cooked thus are not nearly so rank of flavor as when boiled in but one water. TOMATOES (stewed). Put rips tomatoes into a pan, pour boil- ing water directly from the kittle, upon them, and cover closely for five minutes, The skins will then come off easily. When all rm: peeled, cut them up, throwv ing away the unripe parts and the cores, and put them into aclean saucepan with half a. tea-spoonful of salt. Stew twenty minutes before adding a heaping tableapoonful of butter, one tea- spoonful of white sugar (for a dozen large tomatoes) and a little pepper. Stew gently fifteen minutes, and serve. Scald, skin, and out each crosswise, into two or three pieces. J ust melt a teaspoon £111 of butter in a. pie-plate or pudding-dish, and put into this a. lawyer of tomatoes. Lay a. bit of butter on each slice, sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper, and white sugar, and cover with fine dry cracker, and bread crumbs. Fill the dish with alternate layers of tomato crumbs, having a thick coating of crumbs on the top. and sticking tiny “dubs” of butter all over it. Bake, covered, half an hour. Take off the tin pan, or Whatever you have used to keep in the steam, and brown nicely before sending to table. W'th well, taking care npt to scratch the skins, as they will “bleed” while in cooking if this cut or broken. Cook in boiling water an hour and a half if young, three, four or five hours as their age increases. Drain, scrape off the skins, slice quickly witha sharp knbe: put into a. vegetable dish, and pour over them half a cup of vinegar. with two tablespoonfuls of butter. heated to a boiling, and a little salt and pepper. Let'them stand three minutes covered in a warm place before a :rving. Shell and leave in very cold water fifteen minutes. Cook in plenty of boiling, salted Water. They should be done in half an hour. Shake gently in-a. hot colander to get rid of the water; turn into a heated deep dish, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and stir in fast and lightly with a fork, two tablespoonfuls of butter. EM; While hot. Do not cook these at all unless you are Willing to take the trouble of “stringing” them. With a small sharp knife cut of)" the stem and blossom-tips, then trim away the tough fibres from the sides carefully, and out each bean into ‘mclrlengths. Lady callerâ€"“ I much prefer colored ser- vants to white ones, don’t you, Mrs. B. 2" Mrs. B.â€"“ Well, really, Mrs. R., it depends upon the color, you know. I can’t endure green ones.” Lav in cold Water for half an hour. Cook one hour in salted boiiing Water, or until the beans are tender. Drain, butter aud season as you would peas. String beans half-trimmed and cut into alovenly, unequal lengths are a. vulgar look- ing unpopular dish. Prepared as I have directed, they are comely, palatable and wholesome. COOKERY FOR BEGINNEBS.

Many years ago. a merchant residing in Paris, in the Rue St. Honore, had an only daughter, who possessed all the charms of her sex : indeed, persons of the moss refin- ed taste took pleasure in her society. Her parents, by giving her a liberal education, had done all in their power to enhance those advantages which nature had lavished upon her. She had no sooner reached the age when the heart is first susceptible of the tender flame, when she became aware that she loved a youth, a neighbor, some years her senior, who had already anticipated her sentiments. The fathers of the two young people were friends of long standing, they followed the same occupation. and their for- tunes were about equal. The couple, in short, seennd altogether well matched. It had been agreed that they should be marri- ed in a few years; they met frequently, they seemed made for each other, and could not be too often together. Nothing appeared to stand in the way of the realization of their fond hopes. But the demon of self- intcrest, who counts so many worshippers among the children of men, in an evil mo- ment induceed the parents of the young lady to listen to the proposals of a. wealthy cup- italist, who asked her hand in marriage. Neither his personal merits nor any eminent quality obtained for him the preference ; he owed it entirely to his riches. We will not undertake to picture the despair of the two lovers : our readers will easily imagine how great it was. The maiden complained and stood out against the will of her father and mother, butshe yielded at last. She gave her hand to the capitalist, but not her heart, that was already disposed of. Her sense of duty obliged her to forbid her lover to see her, in such a peremptory tone that he had no other course than to obey her command. The husband soon discovered that her affecâ€" tions were not centred in him, but, as he was a. man of no refinement, he did not seem to care much about it. The young wife spent her days in profound sadness, slowly consumed by the grief which gnawed at her heart. At length she broke down under her afiliction. After an illness which lasted sev- eral days she fell into a. state of complete lethargy, so that she was thought to be ‘ dead, and the last duties were paid to her. The lover soon got to hear of the young lady’s funeral; he did not, however, auc- cumb under the full weight of his sorrow. Something seemed to say to him that she was not dead. He remembered that once, when a girl, she had fallen into a state of stupefaction, from which after some time she completely recovered. He went that same night to the sexton,whom he bribed, and with his help, he took out of the earth her who was to him as a valuable treasure, had her conveyed to his lodgings, where he em- ployed all possible means to restore her to oonscxousness. He soon discovered signs that life was not quite extinct. and after hours of contin- ued eff vrts his loved one awoke out of her deep sleep. VVhst was her astonishment on opening her eyes to see her lover by her side ! He did not enter into long explana- tions, but briefly told her how much she owed him and that he now had a right to claim her asghis own. She consented with- out hesitation to live for amen who had saved her life, and whom she still dearly lvvva, n. vm' 9, 1393.111 within uos’ Luca-nu on behalf of her xhusband. They crossed over to England, where they lived several years together without a cloud arising to trouble the serenity of their hap- py union. After ten year thus passed away, they felt a strong desire to return to their nativeland and revisit the scenes of their youth. Accordingly they re-crossed the channel, and arrived in Paris. Here the first husband chanced to meet them as they were walking out together. The image of his wife was not yet eflaced from memory, for. as chronicler observes : “ It is not neces- sarily strong afleotion alone that stamps the portrait of a wife upon our hearts.” If the thought of his wife’s death had not then occurred to him, he would not have hesitated for a moment to believe that she now stood before him. Of these conflict- ing thoughts the latter kept the upper hand, and he became convinced that the lady was his wife. On meeting her a second time he acted upon this conviction, and spoke toher; nor could the fencing and evasive replies of the lady avail to change his opinion. The strange adventure invested his wife with so many added charms that he now felt drawn toward her with a passionate love such as he had never experienced before. After this interview he made the greatest exertions to discover her place of abode, though she did her best to elude his pursuit. Having suc- ceeded in this, he took legal action to claim her as his wife. A prolonged trial was the result. The lover pleaded, but in vain, that the recovery of the young lady was due to his own effort, that but for him she would have died, and that he had thus acquired a right to possess her. Further, that the plaintifi", by oonsigning her to the grave, had forfeit- ed all claim to her, and that he might even be accused of having buried her in undue haste, without giving her sufficient time to recover from her lethargy ; that it mi ht be said that he of set purpose contrive that she should pass from the lethargy into that of death. In short, every reason that Love could suggest was brought forward on be- half of a union that it intended to last for ever. We regret to say that Justice was deaf to all the arguments of Love ; and the couple seeing plainly that the case was go- ing against them. did not stay to hear the sentence of the Court, but took their depar- ture to some foreign country, where they spent the rest of their lives. _.__â€".p¢..+._â€"_â€" For the opening season a dance teacher has devised What he calls the dervish.

A REMARK/ABLE TRI AL. A correspondent of the Scotsman writes as follows :â€"As a farmer my enemies are legion. of courseâ€"from the weather down- warr s With the rat and mouse, ha‘cix‘g suffered much from their depredatitns, 1 am at chronic warfare. In one left, where through the winter months I have to keep a store of grain, besides various feeding stuffs for cattle, in spite of all my efforts to shut them out, they fattened and multiplied 12nd Wrought such havoc that I deliberated a special scheme of wholesale vengeance The month of June having come, I was able to clear out the loft, and floor and walls and corners were swept clean as brush might do. Thus it lay for 24 hours, and then, knowing that the appetites of my enemies would be sharpened, and. fearing lest they might scat- ter abroad and s;ttle in the Manitoba. of my dwelling~house, I took a “fresh departure." At eventide I mixed as much strychnine as would lie on half the blade of a peuknife in about a. cupiul of oatmeal, and laid out the treacherous banquet on th; lcft lloor, and as by this time the vermin were so hung- ry that they scarce k4 pt to their holes dur- ing my presence, instead of retiring I made myself a comfortable seat in a shaded corner and kept quiet. The last rays of the sum- mer sun were striking into the silent loft, the little world of that community where brooded the gaunt spectre of famine, and where adestroying angel yet more terrible was to stalk ere midnight. In a very short time several mice were out, but where they were wont to roam over hills and valleys of corn and Elysian slopes of locust bean meal, the minion of luxury were reduced to scratoh~ ing up from the seams cf the floor such par- ticles as yet remained. In their travels to and fro the supper I had set fur them would have soon been “ exploited," but I heard a soft “ thud " to my right, and glancing there I saw a goodly rat seated on a window sill, on to which he had dropped from between the inner wooden lintels above. It had puz- zled me to understand how the rats found an entrance, but this explained it ; the Win- dow was low, so the opening between the lintels was not readily seen ; from that they had oirried a. tunnel through the masonry to the outer wand. Where I sat I was screened from view save head and shoulders, and it was evident the rat was unconscious of my presence. With something of a royal air he sat and surveyed the bare expanse of floor, where here and there a mouse was at his quest along the seams. But he had a pur- pose on hand. Descending softly to the floor, he drew towards the nearest mouse in the fashion in which a cat approaches its prey, crouching with its belly on the iloor. The mouse evidently knew its danger, for . so soon as it sighted the rat it bolted, and the rat dashed after it. An exciting chase ensued. The rat had complete mastery in ‘ speed, and headed off the mouse from the walls all around : but the latter doubled again and again before it was run down and ‘ killed by the rat. which was done apparent- ; 1y at once,the rat b i g through the small of i the back as a hound kills a hare. He carri- ‘ ed off his quarry at once, ascending the sides : of the window with some little difficulty, and disappearing in his tunnel. The other ‘ mice had scurried at once, but I kept quiet in my ambush, and in a very short time sev- eral were out again foraging, but ere any of ‘ them had come upon my supper the rat re- app area, and, w in. bxivr, me fibula uuiug was enacted four times, the rat not once al- lowing his selected viotim to escape. Some of the hunts were hard runs and. highly di- verting, but I had to restrain my enthusiasm and keep quiet as a statue. Once pursuer and pursued came close to my toes ere the mouse doubled. At last I sta ted a triang- ular war, and, watching my chance when the rat was well away from his den, I dash- ed out with a stick to intercept and smash him. He got past me, and though I knock- el him back once and again as he clambered up his window, I failed to do him any great injury, and he made off to another window which had been left partly open, and getting out he flung himself to the ground, ieavmg me diseomfited. However, if he returned during the night, as most p;obably he did, I had my revenge. Again 1 took to my stu- dio in the corner, and again the mice appear- ed, and with no rat to interfere with them now, they were soon abroad in scores, and my supper to them was discovered by one after another, and they at once set them- selves for a hearty Iepast. As more and more came forward, however, a good deal of quarreling took placeâ€"some bully occas- ionally driving off all and sundry, and mum- blin g away at the meal sordid and alone. But another factor came into play, admirab- ly adapted for giving every mouse sooner or later a chance of partaking. In less than ten minutes from the first tasting of the meal, signs that “ death was in the pot ” began to show. The manner in which death struck the victims was various. With many the poison seemed to have an exhilarating or intoxicating effect at first. They would leave the meal and go off in lively capers across the floor, leaping high up and alight ing onall fours in a half sidelong direction and with singular rapidity. Some would fall dead in the midst of this, others would reach their holes to die, and others would settle down again and even return to the meal ; while others would suddenly leave it, and fall over quite rigid ere they had gain: ed many feet. \Vith all the end was sure, though many would gain their holes in their death caper. But the growing darkness compelled me to retire, which I did looking the door behind me, and returning at nine o’clock on the following morning. On open- ing the door, the first sight was a lusty rat lying stark and stifl, whom I hoped and be- lieved might be the Nimrod whose prowess I had witnessed and interrupted on the pre- ceding evening. On the stair leading up to the loft every step almost had its dead ; but when I reached the top I looked across the hetacomb that well might slake my thirst for vengeance. Altogether seine 240 mice and about 20 rats littered the floor, and the ghastliest feature a as that great numbers of them were torn open as if killed by dis- charges of shot ; many of them were more than half devoured. It was evident that there had been an all-around cannilulisiic saturnalia, rats and mice raging with hung- er devouring one another’s corpses indiscrim- inately, and dying from the poison which had permeated all the flesh of their victims, to bequeath the samepoison to their devourâ€" ers in turn. That th s had been the manner of death with many or most was plain, for a remnant of the fatal meal yet lay on the floor and of itself could not have gone far among so many. To the death-roll must be added many that had gained back to their holes ere they sank in their “ dance of deal: .” HORRIBLE SCENE IN A BIRN Rats and Mice Destroying Each other- Salida, C01,, has sixteen saloons and no church.
