The salt fishball with a bit of pork and the brown bread offer another example of a substantimly complete food. . Pasving into Canada we come to an entirely different dish, pease porridge, made into a combination with CORTSe erackers and a bit of pork, furnishing a strong and complete ration at almost the minimum of cost, Again, moving to the Southern States, the customary ration of the oslored man, which he chooses in preference to almost any other kind of food, consists of three and one-half pounds of bacon and a peck of maize meal per week, to which is added a few vegetables from the field; the least cost in ratio to the force it con- tains than can be found anywhere.

A Bird’s-Eye View of an Important Aslastie Country. It will be seen by looking at the map of Afghanistan that the northeast part of it lies between the Russian political frontier and the British political frontier, which are distant from each other only about seventy miles, The following are some the most important facts relat ing to the country under consideration.

A twenty-acie extensive swamp, is set apart for breed. ing the green amphibia., After two sea- sons’ preliminary preparations the frog pond now brings in a greater cash rev. enue than all the other products of the farm combined, Mr, Frederick has been an enthusiastic hunter and fisher from his boyhood. He has made a special study of bullfrogs, and two years ago conceived the iden of raising them sys. tematically for profit. When he first began operations the other farmers in the neighborhood ridiculed him without mercy ant repeated no end of jokes at the expense of his frog pond. This sea- son's business, however, has opened their eyes, so that a number of them are con- templating a similar enterprise. The frogs’ legs are the only parts sold and consumed by the epicure, and they bring ten cents per pair. The sales from the frog farm now amount to about 1,500 | oek.

It is an electric light bath, which is not to be confounded with an electric bath as described in the Electrical Review, The cabinet is of the usual size of vapor baths, with a lid enclosing the body completely, except the head which is rn he lamps are distributed around the body of the patient, being arranged in groups of fourteen and operated by a separate switch for each group. About sixty lamps of sisteen-cantle power are used in the bath, The sides of the interior of the cabinet are backed by polished nickel to give reflective power, e effect of the strong light is to brown the skin as if it had bees exposed to the sun, The combined effects of the electric and va bath in one are said to be without the usual depressing effects of the vapor bath log, in fact, having an opposite effect buoyant and frisky.
