Two men, on' their way home. met at a street

"Heaven only broils." answered Mr. Free
man ; '•for my part, 1. sec no light ahead.
Every day brings new repoks of failures ;

Walcott.

"Good evening." vi as at last said hurriedly,
and the two gentlemen passed into their homes.
Mr. Walcott entered the room where his
wife mind ellildren were gathered. and without
speaking to any one, :•ealed himselftn a chair,
and leaning .Lis head hack closed his eyes.
llis countenance wore a sad. weary, exhausted
look. He been seated thus only a few
minutes, when his wife said, in a fretful voice :
"More trouble again."
"What's the matter now 7" asked Mr. \Val

in the large arm chair, and again closed his

Animal Food.
to n lecture given, by Dr. Kane to the eiti.;
zcns of New York he n.entioned the fact: that
the increase of cold en the human body recpiir
ed a corresponding increase of animal food. if
be the case; we have reason 'to believe- that
the constimption of animal food' fur the %re few
weeks Mita have•been much - increased in theses
parts. • ' •
oa the subject of-Dr. KATO •lecture, the
Nae. Yuri; Evening' Pus , remarks:
, •.ka opportunity has thus been given or
testing the ability of the inuttan body to'resist
a temperature of seventy degree:; below .ern,
for .several wombs. together. The Doctor anti
his party were enabled to do thiS by 'an im
mense consumption ofaniinal food. the ordinary
daily nllowance'to each man being-six or eight
docks, or an tquivalent, in several pawls of
the fat seal.
‘..Shortly after the 4fiseovery of the cotapettna

The most beautiful and' brilliant series of -ex
peri mei)ts pro , ,ecuted by :Debi g, w ere -.those
intended to establish this . theory, which they
