SCIENTIFIC. Comparative Value of Foods. — In a re cent, lecture on the chemistry 01 food, by Professor Church, some suggestive points of dietetics were well brought out. Of all thecercals. says Mr. Church, wheat yields the best bread. This is believed to be due principally 10 the character of the mtrogeneous matter or wheat. The main constituent is a librme, and it can be readily obtained for examination by making a little tlour into dough with water, and then wash ing the starch out by means of a st ream of water. There is*then left a grayish yellow, tough, elastic mass, which is gluten. Speaking ot peas, beans, and various kinds of pulse, it was pointed out how much more nearly the differ ent, kinds agree in composition than the cereals do. The great drawback to the use of various kinds ot pulse is that they are so different to digest. Tliey are an excellent theoretical food, ac cording to analysis, but they are a se vere tax on digestion. Of all the beans none presents a better typical tWd than the Soy bean. Lentils have been much spoken of lately as a good food, and, they undoubtedly approach to a good tvpieal food, but they are bitter, astrin gent, and not easy 01 digestion. It has now come to be pretty well recognized that the food of a man doing hard work should have flesh-formers to heat-givers in proportion of 1 to and that the jood of a child should have 1 10 7. Bread gives 1 to 7Vj where tiro heat-givers are more even man a child wants; so it is not a good heat by itself. Pulse gives (taking an average) Ito 2' 4 . which is jar to small, in these calculations bcat-glvers are reckoned as standi. Potatoes give 1 to 16, according to the latest analyses the old 1 to 8 being evi dently an error. Onion is 1 to 4, au excellent proportion, thougn onions aie not much in favor as food. In looks ing at the relative values of flesh formers and heat-givers m foods, the actual amount of water must not be forgotten. Shtokf-rs will T>e startled to learn that a false amber can be produced so like me real that the most experienced eyes iuay be deceived. The genuine article is simply a fossil resin, and the imitators starting from that point have adopted as the basis of their falsifications fresh resins, which thev treat in such a man ner as to give their products all the ap pearance and most ot the qualities of the true article. The most esteemed specimens of the latter are produced on the coasts of the Baltic and come from submerged forest® of pi"e, very similar to those now in being, which arc in the state of lignite, that is to say, between the condition of coal and that of peat. The aiuber accompanying this lignite is generally found in rounded masses, the form ordinarily assumed by oozing gums. The sub stance priutipbliy used in the imitation article . s coiophony (a resin produced by the decomposition of turpentine), but many other ingredients are made u>e ot to give it the requisite qualities, bo perfeet is the imitation that the false amber has the electrical properties of the true, and some ingenious producers have even managed to induce into the substance foreign bodies, insects, etc., to render the resembience more striking, and enhance the value accordingly. Notwithstanding the accuracy of the imitation, means exist of readily detect ing the false from the true. Genuine amber requires a heat of from 285 deg. to 290 deg. On tig. (545 deg. to 552 deg. Fahr.) to melt it, while the spurious substance becomes liquid at a much lower temperature. Moreover, while the real article is only slightly attached after a very long time by ether and al cohol, the imitation rapidly loses its polish in contract with these liquids, and soon becomes soft. With numer ous small pieces of true auiber, a lump of much greater value cair be formed. All that has to be done is to moisten the surfaces to be united with caustic pot ash, and press them together while warm, when they produee a transpar ent and homogeneous mass. Elictncity as an Ornament. —M. Trou ve, wno lias recently utilized electricity for many moved purposes, has applied it now to trinkets and articles of orna ment. For instance, of two scarf-pins one has a heath's-head, gold or enamel, with diamond eyes and an articulated iaw: the other has a rabbit seated up right on a box with a little bell before it, to be struck with two rods held in animals fore paws. An invisible wire counects these objects with a small her maticaily-closed battery, the ebonite case of which is about the size ola ci garette. It is kept in the waist coat pocket, and acts only when turned horizontally or inverted. When a per son iooks at the pin the owrer, slipping a linger into his pocket, moves the bat tery, whereupon the death's hea l rolls Its eyes and grinds its teeth, or the lit tle rabbit beats the beii with its rods. A tfiirdsin I of ornament is a small bird set with dimonds, to be Axed in a lady's hair, and the wings of which can be set in motion eleetrirallv. Mr. Wilson Flagg explains why certain birds, like chickadees and robins, never lor-age in compact flocks, as do the spar raws and other grain-eating birds. Their food consists 01 insects, and hence they are compelled to scatter. Their natu ral gregarlousness, however, causes them to sound a note every now and then, in older to keep within hearing. "Woodpeckers do not call to each other while feeding, because their harameing is sufficient. Mr. Flagg notices a sin gular fact in the association together, yet not in the same troop, of the downy woodpeckers and the chickadee. There seems to b t a sort of affinity, he says, between ihe smalt woodpeckers, the creepers and the chickadee. They do not join company, but keep within hear ing of one another from a sociable feel ing. When birds are grain-eaters, they go in large, close flocks, like the red winged blackbirds, because their food is abundant. For the Hair. —For facing out of the hair a lotion is prescribed corn nosed of water of ammonia, almond oil, and chloroform, one part each, diluted with five parts of alcohol, or spirits of ro semary, the whole made fragrant with adrachmof lemon. Dab itonthcskin, after thorough frictiou with the hair brush. It maybe used sparingly or abundantly, daily or otherwise. Scientists may Differ About the pathologv of rheumatism its origin and whether it be hcred tary, but irrefragable testimony rroven that when a tendency to it develops itself, Hosietter s Stoinnc i .Bitters is a reliable means of subduing that tend ncy. Borne of the pre bribed remedies for the dis ease are decidedly objectionable from the danger attending their use, others are utterly ineffectual, tlie best, the safest check is the B tters. This very ob-tinate malady, the more effectua l? to overcome it, should be grappled with at the outset. Every one knows wiiat terrible, what cease'es paiu it can iatlict. Why then should this atrocious, often fatal com plaint be allowed to earn headway through in difference to its earliest svmptoms, when a safe Jong tested and strongly medicine presents it elf. In "addition to sug gesting this a means of relief it seems not in appropriate to caution the rheumat c against exposure. AGRICULTURE. THK EVAPORATION OF FRI IT.—-Mul titudes of men of great intelligence do not seem to understand the difference between evaporated and dried fruit They are almost incredulous when told thai evaporated fruit sells at two and three times the price of dried, especial ly that which is dried in the sun. Yet such is the fact. The demand for eva porated fruit is largely for export. While the bright and beautiful color of evaporated fruit greatly r eooinniendslt to me consumer, it is by no means its chief recommendation. If it were so, sun-dried lruit might he bleached by sulphurous acid gas, or chlorine, to make it inquired after. Take off peach es. for example, forty-eight hours be fore they are fully ripe; dry half of them either in the sun, or in an oven, or dryer not philosophically construc ted, and the oilier half in a philosophi cal evaporator and the evaporated lruit will be found to contain from ten to til teen per cent, more of sugar than the dried; besides the flavor will be so different that any person can perceive the superior excellence t the evapora ted. Drying fruit is removing the na tural juices, either in the sun, in an oven, or In dry air. The outside is dried tirst. Evaporating is removing the natural juices, while the fruit is kept in air saturated with moisture. Tliis is important to remember, it dis appointment at results Is to be avoided. To remove the natural juices while the fruit remains in moist air, is to convert the starch of the fruit into sugar with great rapidity—reducing the time of ripening from forty-eight to live or six hours. The heat of the chamber in which the fruit is placed, the moisture evolved, the increased electrical cur rent, all tend to this result. T> secure most perfectly the ttiii flavor ot evap orated fruit, the trays or hurdles must be placed in a hot air chamber heated by a furnace, a coil of hot air pipes or ot steam. A furnace or stove with sutlicient radiating surface to produce a temperature of from t&Oto 300 deg. Fail, is ail that is needed. The tray or hur dles is placed above it for about ten minutes, or until it is heated through, ii is then elevated bv machinery or endless cuains live inches ami another tray of fresh fruit is shoved in the place made vacant. This operation iscontin ued until the hot air chamber is tilled with trays, when the lirst that was put ju is ready to come out. GUILTY OK W IIONG. —Some peoplo have .. fashion of confusing excellent remedies with the large mass of "par ent medicines," and in this they are guilty of a wrong. There are some ad vertised remedies fully worth all that is asked for them, and one at least we know of—Hop Bitters. The writer has bad occasion to use the Bitters in just such a climate as we have most of the year in Bay City, and has always found them to be first-class and reliable doing an that is claimed for them. HENS AS GRUB DESTROYERS.— The French peasants have a novel mode of feasting their fowls and at the same time destroying the common grubworm with which, in some districts, their land is literally 'alive' in early spring, and ot which the larmers there thus rid themselves: When the plowing is being done a coop or box is pi iced up on wheels and filled with advanced chickens and fowls, forty, fifty or a hundred in each, and this vehicle is taken to the newly plowed fields and follows the open furrows. The fowls are let out of the perambulating coops as soon as the ground is turned over for a given space, and they arc quickly busy in gobbling up the myriads of grubwprnis thrown to the surface b)- the plow,gorging themselves with these rare pickings of which they seem in ordinately fond. The coop is moved on as the birds advance behind the plowman, and the fowls feed constant ly all day long in this way, devouring tiie grubs with intense gusto, and ap pearing never satisfied so long as there is a stray worm in sight. Thus the French peasant clears his ground pre vious to planting very effectually from these destructive and pestiferous de vourers of the rootlings of tender plants. These grubs breed in countless numbers in the fields of Normandy and Nivernais. At sunset the fowls voluntarily enter the trundled coops, and are thus returned to their home quarters, or are kept confined until next day for autntinuance ot this duty, which appears to be a rare enjoyment to them. VEGETINE is nourishing and strength ening; purities the blood ; regulates the bowels; quiets the nervous systems; acts directly upon the secretions, and arou=es the whole system to action. SLAUGHTERING FOWLS FOR MARKET. —Death by strangulation always pre sents a bad appearanee, because the blood is Instantaneously arrested, and, having no eutiet to flow oil' In, it coagu lates in the veins, presenting a swollen, dark appearance, This may take place to some considerable extent, when death is produced in anv sudden man ner; therefore, the best way to kill fowls for market is to out off the main arteries by putting a small knife blade into the mouth or upper portion of the throat, and thus bleed them freely, holding them quietly until the strug gles cease. WE have no hesitation whatever in reccommending Dr. .Bull's Baby Syrup for children teething or suffering from Wind Colic, Diarrhoea or Dysentery. * mm* ■ KILL TIIE PAUPERS.— One-third of all the cows kept by dairymen in the Uni ted States produce less milk than will pay their keep. These are simply a clod upon the business, and were bet ter given awav than kept. A cow that yields only 3,000 pounds of milk at five or six years old, should be got rid of as a pauper that lives on your charity and refuses to work. Only heifers with the llrstealfean be tolerated with so low a yield; and the prospect is not favor able even with the heifer. She should yield 4,000 pounds the first season to offer much encouragement to keep her. POULTRY houses should be warm. The drinking water should not remain frozen over. Kerosene should be poured over the perches. FATITER (tea son, whose school re poitsran low) —"Charley, I see no im provement in vonr remarks. J have spoken about this several times." Char ley—"Yes, father, and if you don't have a serious word with the teacher he'll go on this way forever." FOR diarrhoea, dysentery, blood-flux, cramps in stomach, and colic, whether affecting adults, children, or infants, Dr. Pierce's Compound Extract of Smart-Weed is a sovereign remedy. It is compounded from the best brandy, Jamaica ginger, smart-weed, or water pepper, anodyne, soothing and healing gums. For colds, rheumatism, neural gic affections, and to break up fevers and inflammatory attacks it is invalu able and should be kept in every house hold, Fifty cents by druggists. DOMESTIC. WKT FKRY. —The season of the year has arrived when wet feet are usual, to say the least, resulting in various forms of disease. Indeed, if is p'rftbablc that more colds are produced from cold and wet feet after the debilitating influ ences of the extremes of cold and heat, then from any two other causes com bined. Tills results from the unusual exposure of our children in their favor ite amusements on the ice and snow. These are often so active and violent as to produce perspiration and consequent weakness, predisposing to colds. The discomforts which might ordinarily he observed, and heeded, under these ex citing circumstances,are often unnotic ed. The danger is when in the quiet of home, when fatigue nas prepared tlie way, and when in a hot room, the body in perspiration, when these cold and wet feet disturb the circulation and the equal temperature of the body. And when we remember that the foundations of consumption are laid In the thoughtless days of youth, the more alarming symptoms appearing with girls, from seventeen to twenty-five, it becomes the duty of a mother to see that her daughter iooks after her feet on returning from skating, etc., secur ing comfort. • • THK Christian I'nion tells how a lisli ehewder should lie made, as follows: l'ut into the pot m which the chowder is to be made a tew thin slices of nice, sweet, salt pork. Let litem lrv on the bottom of the pot till brown, then put on a layer of llsh (cod or haddock is the best), then a layer of sliced potatoes ami onions, another of flsh followed by one of potatoes until there is as imieh as will he required. Use tin- onions in such proportions as will best suit the ti.steof all. Sprinkle over salt and pepper or boil a red pepper; but rem ember that the salt perk will be almost enough salt for seasoning the whole. When all ready, pour water enough to cover the whole, and let it boil twenty minutes, .lust before taking up wet a tablespoon!ul of flour in some milk—or more, according to the quantity of ti*h —and pour in to thicken the chowder a little. Put pilot bread, or slice* of bread, or crackers, round the bottom and sides of the tureen, then dish and serve hot. Clam chowder may be made from tliis receipt. COUGHS. "/>roic*s Hronchial Tro ches" are used with advantage t<> alle viate COUGHS, SOUK THROAT, HOARSE NESS, and BRONCHIAL AFFECTIONS. For thirty years these Troches have been in use, with amiu.-illy increasing favor. They are not new and untried, bur, having been tested by wide and constant use for nearly an entire gen eration, they have attained wol.'-meri ted rank among the few staple remedies of the age. How TO MAKKGOOD COFFKK. —There are two thing® which should be well considered; first the eoll'ee pot should be well washed and rinsed. Some housekeepers leave the grounds and cold coffee in the coffee pot from day to day; when they want to use it they only rinse out the grounds. This hab it Is a very poor one as it wears out the coffee pot ami in a short time spoils the coflee. Second, always measure the amount of water; have a tin dipper or some dish that will hold just enough water, use It every time, it will save waste, for every housewife knows howmuch coffee licr family consumes, so she can tell how much water to use. I have tried making coflee by every le cipe I ever saw, I have made it with cold, warm and hot water; 1 have soak ed, boiled and steeped it, but the only way that I can recomined is, tor even two cups of coflee take a tablespoon of good, fresh, ground coff -e, put it in the coffee pot and pour on two cups of boiling water, set it on the stove, as soon at it comes to a boil remove, let It stand two or three minutes and it is ready for the table. This is the only way I can get clear, good coflee. THE price of soap is rapidly ad vancing. A year's supply of DOB BIN'S' ELECTRIC bought now at old price will be a very judicious pur chase. FRIED CHICKEN ANI> CREAM GRAVY. —Dress a couple of phi np spring chick ens and cut them in pieces; wash well but quickly, and sprinkle each piece with pepper and salt and roll i;t plenty of flour. Put snmp slices of salt pork in a frying pan and when the fat is fried out remove the pork ami put in the chickens. Cook until each piece is a fine brow n on both sides, covering them well and watching carefully that they do not burn. When done ar range them on a hot platter. Pour u pint of milk—part cream is better—into the frying pan and when it boils pour in a spoonful of corn starch or dour mixed smooth with a little -milk. Sea son to taste with pepper and salt; throw in a little chopped parsley; stir con stantly and when the gravy boils turn it over the chicken, which should he kept hot. iKyour coal lire is low, throw on a tahlespoonful of salt, and it will help it very much. A little ginger put into sausage meat improve* the flavor. in boiling meat for soup, use cold water to extract the juices. It the meat is wanted for itself alone, plunge in boiling water at once. You caught a bottle or barrel of oil oil any carpet or woolen stuff by apply ing dry buckwheat plentifully and faithfully. Never put water to such a grease spot, or liquid ofTuiy kind.

To REPAIR CRACKS IN WALLS. —EquaI parts of plaster of Paris and white sand, such as is used in most families for scouring purposes, mixed with water to a paste, applied immediately and smoothed with a knife or flat piece of wood, will make the broken place as good as new. The mixture hardness quickly, so it is best to prepare but a small quantity at a tune. To mend iron ware tako sulphur 2 parts and tie blacklead 1 part. But the sulphur in an iron pan over a Are until it melts, then add the lead, stir weii, then pour out. When cool, break into small pieces. A sufficient quantity of this compound being placed upon the track of the ware to be mended, can be soldered by an iron.

At length the Jacobite, a brawny Scot, brought his list down heavily upon the table, and roared at bis adversary : "I tell you what It is, sir—l spit upon your King William!" The friend of the Prince of Orange rose end roared hack to* the Jacobite: "And I, sir, spit upon your James II!*' Jerrold, ' who had been listening to in silence, here upon rang the hell ajpl shouted : "Walt er, spittoons for t\yp!*' At an evening party, Jerrold was locking at the dancers, when seeing a very tall gentleman waltzing with a reuuukahly short lady, lie aaid to a friend near: "Humph! there's the mile dancing with the milestone!" No MORI: HARD TIME*.— If you will slop spending so much on line clothes, rich food and style, buy good, healthy food, cheaper ami better clothing; get more real and substantial tilings of life every way, and especially stop the fool ish habit of enipioyingexpensive, quack doctors or using so much of the vile humbug medicine that does you only barm, hut put your trust in that simple pure remedy, flop Bitters; that cures ihvavs at a trilling cost, and you will -ee good times and have good health see another column.

Some medical students in Baltimore planned one day recently a daring freak, which miscarried only by a mere chance. They went up to the top of the Washington Monument, about five o'clock in the evening, when it was fast growing dai k, one of them wear ing an extra coat, another an extra pair of pantaloons, and another carry ing also u pair of old boots and other material concealed, with which to man ufacture the efllgy of a man. They quickly did their work, in fact almost too quickly, for their design had been observed by several people on the street below, whose presence on a corner at tracted the attention ol the keeper. Apprehend'ng that a tragedy was im pending, he rushed to the top of the shaft, where lie was at llrst startled by seeing a pair of boots hanging over the parapet, and near by a slow match burning. On closer examination, how ever, he diseovei ed the trick, which had been artfully planned. The eiligy had a rope about its neek, an end of which was tied to the lightning-rod. Anotli ei cord was around the waist of tlie fig ure and to this the slow-match had been attached, which, when it had hunted the cord, by the time it had grown quite dark, would have caused the figure to slipover the parapet and left it tor Sun day morning, hanging—a terifylng spectacle to all good folk on the way to church.

Morphine, opium, strychnine, arnica, hyosdunus, and other powerful remedies, does at certain t'tn-s in verv small doses, relieve the pulent during their action in the ay-tern.
