Co-Operation In Housekeeping-.
Says the New York Times . The man
who, to an inquiry how he came to marry
an Irish girl, replied that marrying an
American one would have compelled him
to hire an Irish girl to take care of her,
showed what is coarsely known as "horse
sense," if he looked only to the question
of getting necessary work done; for, by
some unexplained law of compensation,
it does not seem to be practicable to get
brains and muscles in the same body.
The dexterity, nimbleness, readiness m
emergencies, and tact, which are charm
ing in the woman of to-dav, are obtained
at the price of physical strength; what,
in New England, is called "faculty" has
lost much of the endurance that once
made it effective. Miranda knows per
fectly how to do, with the utmost of neat
ness and good sense, and at the minimum
of labor, every detail in domestic life ;
but her strength is insufficient, so she
must call in Bridget to crucify her daily.
She is the brain; Bridget is the muscle;
but the muscle will not obey. Bridget
is can't, won't and don't personified. She
has been dimning the eyes, flecking the
hair, thinning the hands, clouding the
brightness and shortening the days of
her American sister during the last
quarter century.
The race of servants if it is really
written in the order of creation that
there shall be such a thing is still a
barren ideality; events have not yet pro
duced it. There is no relief except in
lessening the dependence on servants,
by so reducing domestic work that it
may be done by very small families, and
that upon all it may bear less severely.
There seems to be less opportunity for
applying in practice the co-operative
principle, which is simply to do in one
place, with especial facilities, some of
the heaviest portions of work as if done
by the gas companies distributing the
results and concentrating the means.
The first step should be to make more of
the laundry. Instead of doing the
severest part of work, to which only
robust women are equal, on a small
scale in thousands of scattered houses,
unite the work and thus enlarge the
facilities. The cities are full of so-called
laundries, which consist of a cellar or
equivalent place, where somebody uses
on a small scale the familiar old imple
ments; but, except in the great hotels,
there are very few establishments to be
found which carry out the idea, which is,
to utilize machinery and dispense with
muscles, as in everything else that is
done economically. There has been a
laundry in Troy for many years which
receives and returns articles by express
chiefly collars and cuffs over quite an
area of country in three States at least.
In towns sumciently compact it might
be practicable to extend the plan further
to cooking. The late M. Blot devised a
scheme of that sort in both New York and
Brooklyn, but it failed, for some reason
we do not now recall. In using tne word
co-operative, however, we do not mean
that the scheme should necessarily be a
mutual one, like a co-operative store
only that it shall secure concentration.
Better administrative ability would be
necessary, and more practical difficulties
might arise in carrying out the mutual
plan than in letting private ownership do
everything. On the other hand, the
partly co-operative scheme, if it once
conquers success, has manifest advan
tages. It is impossible to deny, how
ever, that any way which should dispose
of the washing and ironing, and lighten
the cooking, would go far to change
domestic life for American women. Co
operation has left housekeeping alone
hitherto. Is there not a reasonably
promising field there for giving a new
turn to it?

Debts of the Southern States,
Numerous inquiries as to the debts
of other Southern States, their
amounts, and compromises made,
will be best answered by giving all
the information we possess on the
subject:
..The debt of Alabama in 1878 was
$9,452,669; real and personal estate,
tax basis, $117,486,581 ; tax, 70 cents;
amount raised by tax, $827,399.
Arkansas, debt, $4,153,035; un
funded debt, $13,967,012; tax basis,
$94,000,000; tax, 60 cents; amount
raised by tax, $457,450.
Florida, debt, $1,348,272; tax basis,
$30,000,000; tax, 90 cents; amount
raised by taxation, $225,000.
Georgia, debt, $10,644,500; tax
basis, $235,659,530; tax, 50 cents;
amount raised by tax, $1,129,900. In
1872 Georgia annulled $10,477,000
clearly fraudulent bonds, leaving the
debt at that time $11,550,500, recog
nizing $5,798,000 of the Bullock
bonds.
Kentucky's debt is only $1,852,
841; hor tax basis, $357,326,013; tax,
40 cents.
Louisiana's debt, 1878, amounted
to $12,660,443; tax basis, $174,500,
000; tax, $1 45. The amount raised
by taxation- in 1878 waa $2,473,629.
Mississippi, debt, $2,954,458; tax,
50 cents; tax basis, $12,790,000;
amount raised by taxation, $634,701.
Missouri's debt in 1879 was $16,
758,000; tax basis, real and personal,
a little over $6,000,000; tax, 40 cents;
amount raised by taxation, $2,843,953.
North Carolina, debt, 1878, $27,
120,228; tax basis a little over $148,
000,000; tax, 38 cents; amount raised
by taxation in 1878 $533,635.
South Carolina's debt in 1878 was
6,739,696; tax basis a little over
$125,000,000; tax, 45 cents; amount
raised by taxation, $715,982. The
debt statement in 1874 was $17,017,
651, of which $9,540,750 was bond
debt; $2,679,293 floating debt, and
$4,797,608 contingent liability. And
this statement did not include $5,695,
000 bonds issued for conversion of
State securities under the act of
1869, which even a .Republican Leg
islature declared issued without
authority. The amount given as the
debt in 1878 is that left after a fair
judicial investigation by a court cre
ated lor that purpose.
Texas's debt in 1878 was &,U73,-
861; tax basis, $257,632,000; tax, 50
cents; amount raised by tax, $1,-356,170.
Virginia's debt in 1873 was $29,-
350,826, her tax basis, real and per
sonal, $322,569,631; tax, 50 cents;
amount raised by tax, $2,500,000 per
annum. Since that time a settlement
has been proposed which is abso
lutely demanded by inability to pay.
We have not the details of that set
tlement at hand, but it is much more
favorable to the holders of the bonds
than that of Tennessee.
Tennessee's debt and interest is
$24,857,115; the debt as scaled will
amount to a little over $12,000,000,
the interest to about $500,000, re
quiring a tax of less than 35 cents on
the $100, in addition to the amounts
from other sources, such as privileges
and the $100,000 from railroadsto
pay this and ordinary expenses. The
tax basis in 1878 was $223,212,153,
and the amount raised in 1878, was
$626,529.
It will be seen at once from this
that Tennessee will bear after this
settlement lighter burdens than any
Southern State, even after Louisiana
secures her reduction of interest to 3
per cent, for 15 years, leaving the
principal intact. The question per
tains to ourselves solely. What is
right, just, and the best policy for
ourselves, is the sole question ; but if
anyone chooses to look to other
States for light, he will find that
everything points out the reception
to this settlement as the best possi
ble course to take. Nashville, Tenn.,
American, July 18th.
Local MisnomebsofNew York State.
Why don't they call this Lake Horicon
instead of George? Horicon is the old
name, more distinctive and much prettier,
which is the reason, I suppose, that they
have relinquished it. This is the worst

condemnation when we remember how
opulent the Republic is in felicitous nom

an absurd title, as New anything is. The
metropolis should have been designated
as Manhattan, and the State should have
had a different designation. The person

Animal Food.
The flesh food that civilized people
consume, is either vegetable, or meat
derived from vegetable feeders. The
principal meats are beef, mutton, veal,
lamb, domestic fowl and game. The
nutritive value of each kind of meat de
pends on age, mode of life, nature of
feeding, mode of death and upon the
peculiar character of each kind of flesh.
The flesh of the young is more tender
than that of the old, but it is less easily
digested, veal and lamb are harder of
digestion than that of beef and mutton.
The flesh of the young is more gelatin
ous, less stimulated and less nutritious
than that of the old, which contains
more fibrine and osmasome, or the flavor
ing principle. The flesh of very young
animals, as calves of ten days old is soft,
flat and insipid. Experience shows that
cattle of middle age yield the best fla
vored beef, and more nutritious and
more easily digested than that of young
animals. Sex influences the quality of
the flesh that of the female is more
finely grained and delicate than that of
the male.
It is a matter of common observation,
that most animals are in a better state
for the consumption of the human fam
ily, in some seasons than in others. Or
dinarily, it is in its best condition in the
late autumnal and early winter months,
simply because animals usually have a
large supply of fresh summer and au
tumnal food. Mutton and beef are al
ways good, but still are more succulent
and juicy during summer, autumn and
early winter. The .venisqn of the male
deer is in its best condition from June to
Sepember. That of the doe in that
winter. The expression "in "season and
but of season" applied to animals is full
of meaning, and indicates, among other
things, that the flesh of animals is In a
better, healthier state for human food at
some seasons than at others. The mode
of life has an influence upon the flesh of
animals. Those that lead a wild and
active life are less fat than those who are
lazy and well fed. The flesh of the wild
has a higher color than that of the tame,
and is decidedly gamy.
The food animals consume modifies
the character of their flesh. Turnipe
yield a peculiar flavor to mutton. The
flavor of mutton from sheep who have
lived upon the highland, is different
from that of sheep who have obtained
their food chiefly from the lowlands.
The garlic of the meadows and some fra
grant herbs modify the flavor of the
meat. Oily food tends to make the fat
soft. Hens partly fed on scraps of de
caying meat, yteld eggs that are at once
unpleasant to the taste and unhealthy.
Feeding animals for human food, is,
then of great importance and demands
experience. It is not enough that food
makes fat it should also impart an
agreeable flavor.
The mode of death, in its effects upon
the flesh, is well illustrated by the fact
that violent exercise just previous to
death, increases its tenderness. The
flesh of the hunted animals is well
known for its tenderness. Slaughtering
animals by bleeding then involves a
waste of nutritive material, but it ren
ders their flesh more pleasant to the eye.
and more delicate to the" taste. It ren
ders their meat whiter, better flavored,
and susceptible of keeping for a consid
erable length of time without tainting.
The Jews of the present day are wise,
and will not eat the flesh of any animal
that has not been slaughtered in har
mony with their ancient laws, and by
one bf their own order of faith and prac
tice. Meat is more or less improved bv al
lowing it to hang in cool temperatures
some days after the creature has re
tired from life. The analyses of meat
greatly vary. The relative amount of
lean and fat depends upon the many cir
cumstances to which we have just referred
and to the amount of exercise the animal
may take to the temperature in which it
lives, and the purity of the air it may in
hale and absorb. The general character
istic of special meat should be known.
Beef has a fismer texture, is more satis
fying to the stomach, and possesses
greater strengthening power than mut
ton, but mutton is more easy of diges
tion, and still a few persons may be
found who cannot digest it. It induces
violent vomiting and diarrhoea in some.
Veal and lamb, though tender, yet resist
the digestive force of some stomachs,
and yield less strength than beef; so
they should not be given to children
with weak stomachs.
Pork is the most difficult of all meats
to digest. Smoked meats are much less
digestible than fresh. With lean meats,
as veal, chicken, rabbit, or with food
rich in plaster material, as eggs, beans
and peas, give the proper supply of
plaster and heat making materials. Ven
ison is lean and savory; it is one of the
most digestible of meats.
The relative amount of bone in ani
mals varies with their condition. Twenty
per cent, of the entire animal may be a
fair average. In the neck and brisket of
beef it is 10 per cent. In the shins and
legs, an everage may be 50 per cent, of
its total weight.
Birds of various sorts are nutritious.
Some wild birds, as the pheasant feed on
the buds of the laurel, or as the
partridge on the same become poisonous.
The flesh of birds differ from that of
mammals, in that it is not marbled, or
its fibres are not mixed with fat. The
flesh of different birds varies in its color
ing, from white to dark. The wings and
breast are drier, whiter, and more deli
cate in taste than legs, but the latter are
higher flavored. The color varies in
different parts of the same birds. In the
black cock the outer layer of the breast
is brown, while the inner layer is white.
The fowl, turkey and guinea-fowl
amongst poultry have white flesh, that is
tender, delicate and easy of digestion
is more stimulating than ordinary meat,
and so is fit for the weak stomach of
every human life, and those persons who
are in a state oi convalescence, xne nesn
of the goose and duck is richer, harder,
stronger-tasted, and difficult of digestion
for early life and dyspeptics. The fat
tening of poultry, their tenderness and

flavor depend upon the quality of the
food they eat, and the quietness of their
lives. Tame birds need pure water, nu
tritious food and rest. Sexless birds
grow to a larger size, fatten better, are
more tender, and better flavored than
those that remain in a normal state.
The flesh of game contains but a small
amount of fat. It is usually tender and
easily digested, has a delicate flavor that
is much increased by keeping. Each
kind of bird has its peculiar flavor. That
of the partridge, quail, snipe and wood
cock are delicate. The latter two are
richer than the former. Game birds
tempt the appetite of the invalid.
Its tenderness and digestibility fits it
for the stomach of invalids and of early
life. Wild birds, such as the quail and
robin are particularly valuable for the
nourishment of the sick. The breast be
ing the preferable parts. Pigeons and
other smaller birds have flesh with a
tenderness depending upon the creature's
size and age. The flesh of the hare and
rabbit somewhat resembles poultry and
game. The flesh of the hare is more
savory and stimulating than that of the
rabbit. The latter is more tender and
its fibres are close and so less digestible
than some other kinds of animal food
An Indiana Woman Who Wanted to
Maeby Hayes. Two peculiar cases of
insanity were developed here to-day.
The first was that of a young lady who
gave the name of Emeline Nohle, and
her residence "Indiana," who called
upon President Hayes this morning and
informed him that Bhe had arrived i:t ac
cordance with her promise to marry him.
The President said he would have to
consult some of his friends about the
marriage, and managed to get out of tiid
room. She was then taken in charge by
an officer and conducted to Police Head
quarters. She was rather finely dressed,
and had just arrived in the city to-day,and
seemed bent on being married. Senator
V.oorhees, upon being informed of the
case, and happening to know her par
ents, requested that she be sent to the
Government Asylum for treatment. She
will be sent there to-morrow, in the
meantime being provided with quarters
in a hotel. She had with her $217, which
she parted with reluctantly, although
she was told it would be kept safe for
her at police headquarters. She ap
peared very mad because the President
did not marry her, as she had imagined
he would, and said if he had not con
sented by his silence in not declining the
offers she had sent him in letters, she
would have married a young man in
Indianapolis. Miss Noble is about 27
years of age, and is not at all bad
looking, and, besides, is well educated.
The other case was that of a young lady
who gave her name as Mary Virginia
Coburn, who was found roaming about
Georgetown. She is about the age of
Miss Noble, and arrived at police head
quarters about the same time. She was
also on a similar errand, but did not
seem to have any particular man in view
to marry, though she said she was very
anxious, to marry some one. She told
the officers that she lived at Rockville,
Montgomery county, Maryland. She
will be sent back to Rockville to-morrow;
in the meantime, being quite violent,
she is kept at police headquarters. It
appears she has been about Georgetown
for several days. Baltimore Sun Wash

What Would thk World do Without
America ? Oddly enough, after we sent
the phylloxera, (a very dragon of bug
more vicious than the Colorado beetle, as
it has a liquorish tooth, and preys only
upon vineyards,) to destroy the grapes of
Southern France, we are invited to send
our vines after it, as they are supposed
to be the only ones with vitality enough
to withstand its ravages- There is some
thing very curious in the way in which
America is dropping over her products
into Europe, sending in every instance
each at tide to the place which heretofore
has been famous for it. There is a grim
humor in her coals to Newcastle, when
she finds that Newcastle invariably pre
fers her coals to her own ; beef to Old
England; Muslin to Manchester; cheese
Holland ; wine to France. The other day
a squad of American horses were import
ed lor the French Cavalry, and gave great
satisfaction. No wonder that one surly
Englishman recently swore that he wish
ed that the country had never been dis
covered, or that another astonished into
truthfulness by the rare chance of a
sunny day, declared that England was
importing everything from the Yankees,
even the weather." The most astounding
proposition, though considering the
source, is that of the Englishwoman of
rank, who lately urged publicly on Eng
lish mothers the propriety of giving to
their daughters the social freedom and
manners of American young girls.instead
of those distinctively English. We hope
the English will not, however, take much
modesty and good breeding from our
American girls over there. There are
some American products we can't spare.
N. Y. Tribune.
Of all domestic fowls, says the German
town Telegraph, the goos is the longest
lived. One died a few days ago near Bal
timore that was hatched in 1824, on the
day that Lafayette visited that city, and
during the fifty-three years ot its life, its
owner now living at an advanced age, be
lieves that she has realized from feathers
and goslings between $500 and $600. Al
though this specimen was not the fowl
that laid the golden egg, she produced for
her owner a pecuniary reward nearly
equal to her weight in gold.
Many small farmers in France pay their
rents from their poultry yards. The fowls
in Normandy, France, are almost exclu
sively of the Crevecceur breed in its differ
ent varieties. The number of poultry in
Normandy is 3,500,000, estimated at the
value of 2,400,000, and the annual value
of fowls' eggs alone is 250,000 to the
farmers. The average annual produce per
ben is about 100 eggs, and a hen will con
tinue to lay for five years.
A liquor dealer applied to a customer
for a recommendation of a certain brand
of whisky he had already sold him. The
customer wrote: "I ha've tried all sorts
of insect poison, and find none equal to
your Old Bourbon whisky.
