What a Man can Live ON.

In the year 1910, some experiments
were instituted in the Glasgow prison on
the diet Of selected number Of the in.
mates. The persons were fed on the
following fare for breakfast, each had
eight ounces Of oat meal made into Dor.
ridge, with pint of buttsrmilk for
dinner, three pounds of boiled potatoes
with salt; for supper, Eve ounces Of oat
meal porrldge with one half pint Of but.
termilk. ~
AT the end Of two months they were
all in good health, each person had gain.
ed four pounds weight, and they liked
the diet, the COS! Of which, including th.
cooking. was two pence three farthing.
per day.
Other ten men were fed for the same
time solely on boiled potatoes and salt
each had two pounds for breakfast, three
pounds for dinner, and one pound 70,
supper. They gained three and q hall
pounds each and they declared tina,
they preferred this fare to TIE ordinary
diet Of the prison.
Twelve others were fed on the same
allowance of porridge and milk for break
fast and supper, as the first ten; but for
dinner they had soup, containing two
pounds of potatoes to each. and q quar-
ter Of a pound Of meat. At the end Of
two months they had lost in weight one
and a quarter pounds each; and they all
dlsliked this diet; the expense Of each
daily was three pence seven Fights.
Twenty others had the same breakfast
and supper. with one pound Of potatoes
for dinner, and half pound Of meat.
They preserved good health, but rather
decreased in weight. and preferred the
ordinary diet Of the prison. The expense
was four pence seven Fights each.
In these cases. perhaps the previous
habits and tastes Of the prisoners had
some influence yet it appears thu. the
six pounds OF potatoes daily was more
nutritious diet than the smaller quaint.
ties of soup or animal food.

PASSAGE OF THE REFORM MILITIA BILL
The Senate of this State, on Saturday, passed a
bill changing the Militia system of this State, it
at present exists. Its most onerous prOvision-the
annual rainings-is stricken out, and other reforms
incorporated which, we have no doubt, will make
it generally acceptable with citizens at large
The Bill ordains that:
GAN .ble hedied men who are citizens, between
eighteen ana forty-iive years of age, shall be the
militia. That the assessors shall make accurate
register of oil who are liable to do such duty.
That parades shall be held, and no fines be ex-
acted. That encouragement shall be given 10
uniformed, drilled and equipped companies, all of
which collectively throughout the State shall be
designated as the National Guard. Privileges and
mmunities are secured to these. The great object
of this is not only TO have the militia in readiness
for war; insurrection, or invasion, but to rely fol-
the protection of the public ordy in time OF peace
on volunteer associations. Nearly all the Senators
| voted for the Bill" IN. Y. Express.

Every thing is quiet in and near Galveston, ex-

The MILITARY AsYLUM.-Th man who con-

poet. The fitness Of the place for the duty is
recognized by every one. Washington himself
could not have wished more appropriate destina-
ton for his home. Perpetuiiy in the ownership of
land is impossible in this country. The law of dis
tribution forbids it. The estate would sooner or
