Qood HEALTH
Fish, Chemically Considered.
Dy cbouilcal tmnlysls, says Prof. Wetherbee,
it is found that fish contains n greater propor
tion of phosphorus than any other class of ani
mal food, ami therefore must be considered the
richest "bralu food." Iu Und auitniU the
phosphorus is contained for most part in the
bones, iu combination with lime, i.s n phos
phate, while the muscle is rich iu llbrln, etc
llut on the other hand, tho various genera of
fish, although not abounding in fibrin, arc much
richer in phosphorus and this element, as a
general rule, vorios according as tho fish is
lively or slow in its movements and habits.
Upon this difference, depends, in a great meas
ure tho relative value, of different kinds, those
containing the greatest proportion of phospho
rus, and consequently those of the most
rapid movement command the greatest pri
ces. Thus, tho salmon a fish of remarka
ble anility iu its movements, and its nearest
relative, the trout, aro among the most eipen
slvo of tho varieties in our market, while the
less active kinds command but inferior prices.
But an exception to this rule, duo only to ig
norance o: prejudice, is exemplified in the New
England farmers of tbo last century, who were
often bound by legal obligations not to feed
their apprentices mora than throe, meals a week
upon salmon, as it was exceedingly plenty, and
therefore, fit only for those who were too poor
to obtain anything else. Tho samo worthy far
mers were wont to consider oysters a mere lux
ury for the epicure, and they wcro generally
associated with champagne, fate suppers, and
high living geucrally. But in our seaport
towns thoy are undoubtedly among the cheap
est, and by no means tho least nutritious arti
cles of diet, although wo have recently seen it
asserted that they contain no nutriment. Wo
bavo also seen philosophers who contended
that cheeso was only a luxury and contained
nono of tho element of nutrition, being igno
rant of tho chemical fact that tho castlu of tho
cheese and tho fibrin of meats aro almost tho
game, and aro both resolved by constructive
assimilation into muscle.
Thoso nations who eat fish with ono meal
each day aro undoubtedly tho most active iu
IntolUct, and tho most capable, of brain labor
without exhaustion or fatigue, Kven those
savngo tribes who subsist iu a great measure
upon fish no doubt possess ery quick minds
although they aro uncultivated ana ignorant,
and other causes may tend to keep them iu u
deplorable and degraded condition. But when
once civilized and Christianized these tribos of
Iclithyophaql become quick aud activo In intel
lect, even to put to shame the more stolid beef
caters of our inland towns of Ohristiau lands.
Not only is such phosphatio food conductivo
to tho activity of tho brain, but it promotes
fecundity and increases tho ability to enduro
cold, fatigue, etc, and, whilo facilities for ob
taining it aro constantly increasing, it would
bo well for tho rlsiug generation were they
made to partako of aud to reallzo it as second
only iu mauy respects to tho staff of life, and
tbo husband aud father who occasionally takes
half a day from his legitimate business to fill
his basket with delicious fish should not bo
considered asa mem "sportsmun," but a "good
provider" for his family of thoso things of vi
tal utility.
The Abuse of Chloral.
Wo regret to say that from various quarters
wo bavo received trustworthy reports which
lcavo no doubt that this very valuablo medicino
is being grossly abused by tho public. Ilydrato
of chloral has received no moro than its just
S raise from thoso medical writers who bavo
escribed it as tbo best aud safest soporlrlo
medicino iu existence. But no medical au
thority has over dreamed of sanctioning Its
employment except under direct medical order;
yet the public are, to a largo extent, taking it
on their owu responsibility. In this busy and
distracting ago the demand for sound aud un
disturbed sleep in ono of tho most urgent calls
of jaded nature, and it is not unnatutal that
people bhould catch at anything which seems
to promiso to givo reposo with certainty and
safety. This makes it all tho moro uccessary
that tho public bhould bo plainly told that
chloral is no moro to be administered safely by
unskilled hands than is opium or strychnia.
There are several ways in which its impropor
use may cause, serious niiscmei. in tbo nrst
fl
ilace, a single ovemoso may causo death ty
allure of the circulation, and thero seem to
bo very great differences between persons as to
the dose which can be taken without any dan
ger of this fatal catastrophe. The other possible
evil results of chloral aro chronic Whero it is
taken without proper reasons repeatedly for a
considerable time, it may produce either, or
both of tbo following effects: it may seriously
affect the intelligence aud memory, or it may
produce partial paralysis of tho limbs. The
latter is a fact which wo hao not yet seen ro
corded anywhere, but ft is becoming kuowu to
observant practitioners, and will henceforward
have to be reckoned as a possible consequence,
of tho rash use of chloral.
Besides all these things, chloral is fully as
guilty as opium or any other recognized uar
cotlo of the tendency to render those who take
it the slaves of habit; and we are not sure that
the moral enfeeblement which it thus induces
is not even greater than that of opiun-eatlng,
unless the latter be carried to great excess, Iu
a word, chloral is a most valuable medicine in
the hands of a judicious doctor, but it is also a
most dangerous plaything or luxury in the
hands of people who merely wish to escape
from the sleeplessness of anxiety or of fashiona
ble oinuf. The Lanctt.
Natural ArrcTiTK. As a general thing,
people should consult their natural desires
more in the selection of their food. Such
desires are calls to satisfy the wants of tho
system, and therefore are not given us In
vain. If in warm weather the relish for meats
and heavy food is less, or even disappears, it
should not be eaten; but if, on the other hand,
there is a craving for fresh vegetables and
fruit, it shouuld by all means be indulged lu;
it acts like a correcting, purifying medicine on
the digestive apparatus, sometimes deranged
by the beat of summer. Let nobody b afraid
to live during hot weather ou vegetable ditt
exclusively. On the contrary, when abstaining
from meat one will suffer less from protracted
heat, especially when abstaining alio from dis
ulled or fermented liquors, and driuking water
and milk instead. In winter, on the contrary,
we may have a craving for animal food and fat,
and then it is time to indulge in it. However,
the flesh diet should slwajs be balanced with
vegetables and bread or its equivalent. No
animal requires perhaps such a variety of food
as man, who is neither carnivorous, like the
lion, nor herbivorous, as the horse, but om
nivorous, like the pig, whose digestive appara
tus lesemblis that of man more than is the
case with most other animals. If this is con
sidered rather flattering for the pigs or insult
ing to men, it cannot be helped. Jtanuucfurrr

I Stammering.
According to M. Chervin, a French gentle
man and author of a very successful system of
treatment for this embarassiug and annoying
misfortune, stammering consists solely iu de
fective co-ordination of the movements of the
orgaus of speech. To correct tho difficulty he
begins with the respiratory orgaus, and the
pupil is caused to inspire aud expire regularly,
pausing between respiration. 1 hen the vocal
orgaus are next called into action, by the emis
sion of the vowel sounds caro being taken to
avoid a useless expenditure of air, until the
vocal cords have become habituated to coutraot
regularly, as desired by tho pupil then the
lips aud tongue aro called iuto play by tho ar
ticulation of tho cousouant sounds. Tho author
has adopted au ingenious system, similar to
lnutical notation, by which ho represents to the
eyo of tho pupil tho quantity to bo given to
each Utter, iu pronunciation, and, iu bis more
adv meed exercises, tho places where tho voice
should pauso for inhalation. Ills rtsuint of
general directions to stammerers is worthy of
careful note by all thus afflicted, aud who are
willing to take the trouble necossary to relieve
tbemselvcsi'Take a full inspiration beforecom
mencing, speak slowly, articulate distinctly,
slightly scanning each syllable, sustain tlio voice
with an accompanying gesture, a methodical aud
somewhat declamatory iutonatlon." The prac
tice of this he cousiders au Infallible remedy.
Of course all this cannot bo douo in public and
iu daily conversation. The stammerer must
bo willing to go by himself regularly aud ex
crciso his organs.
TntciitSJC iv Ponn. Tho tlmo had gono by,

from the London Medical Tunc, printed below,

"As there is a large importation of American
bacon into this country, a statement made in
nrcioic's Archlv (April 10) is of greut impor
tance. It is thero said that among (3,555 swine
slaughtered aud examined In llostook during
1872, nono exhibited trichina). But of Oil
llitchos of bacon imported from America which

without having been examined."
Catik of tub Haw. To keep tho hair
healthy, keep tho bead cleau. Brush tho scalp
well with a stiff brush, whilo dry, then wash
with Castile soap, and rub into tho roots bay
rum, brandy or camphor water. This done
twice a month will prove beneficial. Brush
tho scalp thoroughly twico a week. Dampen
hair with soft water at tho toilet, aud do not
use oil.
Domestic EcoNopy-
i Cooking Poultry.
Poultry should never bo eaten in less than
I six or eight hours after it Is killed ; but It should
i bo picked and drawu as soou as possible. Thero
i is no direr disgrace to our Northern markets
than tho practice of sending wholo dead fowls
to market. A writer says: I have bought bucIi
from responslblo poultry-dealers, ami found
them uneatable, from having remained undrawn
until the flavor of tho craw and intestines had
impregnated tho wholo body, Thoso who aro
conversant with tho habit of careful country
houso wives, of keeping up a fowl without food
for u day and night before killing and dressing
for their own eating, cannot but regard with
disgust tho surcharged crops and puffy sides of
, those sold by trefjifin tho shambles. If you
want to know what you really pay for poultry,
bought lu theso circumstances, weigh tho ollal
extracted from tho fowl by your rook, and do
duet from tho market weight. "But don't you
know it actually poisons n fowl to lio so long
undressed?" otico exclaimed a Southern lady to
me. "In our markets they aro otfered fur sale
ready picked and drawn, with tho giblets also
oleaneil tucked uuder their w ings."
I know nothing about thu poisonous nature
of tho entrails aud crops. I do assert that thu
custom is unclean and unjust. Aud this I do
without tho remotest hope of arousing my
fellow housekeepers to remonstranco against
established uago. Only it relieves my mind
somewhat to grumble at what I cannot help.
Tho best remedy I can propose for the griev
anco is to buy live fowls, and, beforo sending
1 them home, ask your butcher to decapitutu
them; tho probabilities being greatly iu favor
of tho supposition that your cook is too "tinder-hearted"
to attempt tho job.
Ono word as to tho manner of roasting meals
and fowls. Iu this day of ranges and cooking
stoves, I think I am speaking within bounds
when I assume that not ono housekeepor iu
fifty uses a spit, or oven a tin kitchen for such
purposes. It isin vain that tbo writers of recipe,
books Inform us with refreshing nuferfe that all
our meats aro baked, not roasted, and expatiate
upon tho superior flavor of those prepared upon
tlio r.ngnsuspiis ami iu oiu lusmoneeixiicncns,
where enormous wood.fires bluzo from morning
until night. I shall not soon forget my per.
plexity when, an Inexperienced housekeeper
I and a firm believer in all "that was writ'1 by
, older and wiser people, I stood beforo my neat
Mott's "De-fiance," a flue surloiu of beef ready
to be cooked on the table behind me, and read
from my Instruction-book that my "tire should
extend at least eight inches beyond the roaster
on either side!" I am not denying the virtues
of spits and tin kitchens only regretting thut
they are not within the reach of every one. In
I view of this fact, let mo remark, fur the benefit
of the unfortunate many, that in the opinion of
I excellent judges, the practice of roasting meat
i in closo ovens has advantages. Of theso I ueed
mention but two, to wit, the preservation of
the flavor of tho article roasted, and tho pre
vention of Its escape to the upper regions of
the dwelling.
To Cleans): Pihala and Fik Plates. Cleanse
bottles that have medicines In them, by putting
ashes in each, iimnirstng them in cold water,
and then heatiug the water gradually till it
boils. After boiling an hour, let them remsiu
in the water till it is cold. Wash them in soup
suds, and rinse them till clear iu fair wster.
Pie plates thut have been long used for bakiug
are apt to impart an unpleasant tasta on account
of the. rancidity of the butter aud lard imbibed.
Put them in a brats kettle, with ashes and cold
water, and boil them an hour.
To Pickle Omioxs Choose small, sound
silver onions, as equal in size as possible Top
and tall them, but do not pare the tops close,
as the air will soften and spoil the onions.
Scald them with brine. llepeat this on the
second day, and, when cold, peel the onions as
quickly as possible, throwing them into vinegar
as they are done, to prevent their blackening.
Boil vinegar enough to cover them, with sliced
ginger, bluck and white pepper and mace
when cooled, pour It over the onions. Cork
them veil, and dip the corks in bottle rosin.
CoLonicn and white flaunels should b washed
separately, and never iu the samo water which
has been used for cotton and llueti goods, for
not only will the llut adhere to the flaunels,
but thevare apt to receive a dull, grnj Nil color.
Flaunels should always be washed and dried
quicklv, and it Is n good plau to bavo them
washed first in the luomlng, beforo thu other
clothes, especially lu the' winter, us they dry
so much moro milcklv than later in tho day,
aud then there is no fear that careless washer
women will pluuge them into dirty suds.
Hop Ykast-Ouo aud one-half pounds of
grated raw potato, one quart of bolting water,
lu which a handful of hops lmo been boiled,
one teacup of white sugar (coffee sugar) one
half teacup of salt; when almost cold put a
little good ) cast to start it, say about half n
pint. One pint of this yeast makes four good
sized loaves of tho most delightful bread.

veal, moisten it with cream, and a beaten egi?
Season with pepper, slt. sweet marjoram, and

Paper Decoration.
Under this head tbo London Mirnilure Wd
rctfe makes somo senslblo remarks. Speaking
of tho dtcoration of dwelttug rooms, It says pa
per hanging is, of course, not of ancient date,
for it is but about two hundred years ago that
tho practice of hanging p ipvr on walls, and
decorating It by stencil distempering and by
drawing, camo Into use. The next Improve- (
ment was to print an outline by means similar
to that now employed in block-printing, and
upon that basis tilling lu the colors iu stencil
and by hand, Tho art gradually developed to
what It was about forty years ago, since which
time It has made- little) progress, except lu tho
adaptation of machinery, toward tho supply of I
the vastly augmented demand.
Wo offer somo suggestions in tho hope of
promoting improvement, and becauso tho sub-1
jtct is interesting. Sick people know tho tor-j
me ut of somo patterns, and although thoy
would be difficult to please in any caso it often
happens that tin Ir criticisms and objections i
aro elidoised by those iu good health. Com
fort and propriety form tlio ultimate court of
appeal in all matters of furniture and ilecor.i
lion. What senso is thero iu putting irto a
poor man's bedroom a small hard diamond pat-1
tern? If ho Is well ho can hardly s-e it be--causo
It is so dazzling, and If he Is ill lie will
put his head under tho sheet as often as lm can; '
and yet this is ono of Ihe choicest specimens
for a bedroom. Tlio sick man sighs lu vain fur
tbo banished chintz hangings of the unhealthy
kind, becauso that some birds of paradise,
somo convolvulus or rose, somo Bprig, leaf or
tendril, unending, would bo changeful objects
for bis weary time. i
Then thoro is a freak of fashion iu color
which is not easily accounted for iu England,
whero tho climate and sky would suggtst

Suggestions h.ivo been made, liming fur
their object the rendering of papered wails in
structive to tho household. It arose from tho
circumstance that iu tlio curly da a of paper
decoration, when put of the labor was baud
work, It was not uncommon to till up certain
spaces with water-colored drawings, or chalks,
executed by thu ladies of thu houso or their
artistio friuuds. Somo antiquarian scholars
sought to bring tho piper stuiiier'H art to their
ncrvicu by suggesting that small spaces iu
choap hangings should bedeoted to separate
pictures of plants, birds, animals, etc., but tho
den was impracticable.
But tho pictorial idtu Is much too good to bo
abandoned; and for honsi s of thu bitter class,
there should bo au attempt to set ou foot au n
terprlse of change. These could well afford a
new design for u ground pattern, composed of
thu floral aud thu scroll, light, graceful, and of
tho most correct taste. In this pattern-ground
thero might bo introduced spaces of various

To Clean Paint. A correspondent of tho
Country O'tntlanun says: Uso but little water at
once; keep it warm and clean by changing it
often. A flannel cloth takos off fly specks bet
tor than cotton. Soap will rumavo thu paint;
so uso but little of it. Cold tua is tho best liq-1
uid for cleauing vurnished paint, window panes
and mirrors. A sharp piccu of soft wood is in
dispensable for cleaning out corners. A saucer
of sifted ashes should ulways bo ut hand to
cleau unvarnishid paint that has become badly
smoked; it is better than soup. Never put
soap upou glass, unless it can bo tlio.-ouglily
rinsed off, which can never bu done to window
glass. Wash off the specks with warm tea, und
rub tho puues dry : then mako a pasto of whit-,
log and water, and put a little In the center of
each pane. Take a dry cloth and rub It all
over the glass, and then rub it off with u cha
mois skin or flannel, and your windows will
shine like crystal.
