Crossing the ocean, in New Englacd
we find in the baked beans and brown
bread made from Indian corn or maize
meal, a ration at low cost which is very
complete in its proportions of energy.
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

strong and complete ration at almost the

Again, moving to the Southern States,
the customary ration of the oslored man,

added a few vegetables from the field;

Electricity for the Houschold,
There is apparently no limit to the
curious and unique arrangements sug
gested for the employment of electricity
for general household purposes, as is
evidenced by the device that has jnst
been completed by a Cincinnati firm. 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.
