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.

Borne of the pre bribed remedies for the dis

danger attending their use, others are utterly
ineffectual, tlie best, the safest check is the

effectua l? to overcome it, should be grappled

then should this atrocious, often fatal com
plaint be allowed to earn headway through in

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.

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

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.

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

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

For thirty years these Troches have
been in use, with amiu.-illy increasing

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

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

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.
