PHILOSOPHY oE EATING.

| Use bui two or three kinds Of food, beside
] bread and butter, at a single meal, and
never eat anything between meals. You
should eat al regular hours, and but three
times day, with two intervals of not less
| than FIVE hours EACH nor more than six.
Cold water reiards digestion, and so does
any liquid, If much is taken during or soon
after meal half a glass at meal is
enough. From an honr and half after a
meal until within half All hont of The next
one, you NAV drink as much water as you
desire il is best however, 10 drink but a
swallow or two at time, with an interval
Of half mi,iue or more; otherwise you may
| take more Than nature requires before you
know it, just as in eating fast. II too much
| Guid is taken during meals it diu,es The gas
tric juice, thus weakening The powers of di-
gesiion, aud retaining the food longer in the
stomach than is natural 1t also causes acid
stomach, heartburn, fullnes*, belchngs, and
bad blood, producing, according TO circum-
stances, a dryness, or rawness, scalding
sensation in The throat, as do iudigestions
from other causes, whether from quality or
quantity of food.
A Il erroIs as to die, arise from quantity or
quality, and propose one safe nle TO each,
applicable to all persons, aud under all cir-
cumstances.
AS to quality, the general rnle is 10 eat
, that which you like BEST and which you
| find by close observation and experience is
followed by no uncomfortable feeling about
the head. hands, feet or slomac h.
As TO quantity, lake as much at one meal
as will allow you to become decidedly hun
| cry by The next meal this can only be de-
lermined by consecutive observation but
remember, never swallow an atom of food
unless you are hungry never "force" a
particle of food on yourself. The brute
creation cannot be induced to eat or drink, if
| slightly i'll or excited, guided only by their
poor blind instinct, and we who are much
higher Than they, BY The "Ieason'' that is
within Us, ought 10 feel ashmed 10 act less
| wisely and yet, nineteenth of all our all
mems, acute and chronic, enter here and
nine-tenhs of them all might be cured thus,
if taken in reasonable time, and if properly
perseve red in.
The finer all food is cut with knife, be
fore put into the month, the sooner and easi-
er it is dgesieJ, on the same principle that
large piece of ice placed i'll vessel set in
wafer will require longer time 10 melt,
than if it were first dissolved into many
small pieces The gastric jnce dissoves
solid food from without inwards, hence food,
especially all kinds of meat, should be cut
up into pieces not larger than pea, before
il is placed in the mouth, taking in as many
pieces al a time as is convenient. This pre-
caution would not be needed were persons
u eat slowly, and masticaie their food prop
erly but our national habits are otherwise,
nor is there much hope OF a speedy change
in this respect.

New SUBSTITUTE FOR OIL The Boston
Commonwealth says that new illumina-
ting fluid has been developed in New York,
which will in great measure supercede
spirit lamps as soon as the Patent Office can
settle lis doubts. Large manufactures of
benzule, hydro.carbon which has the pro.
perty of producing an excellent Illuminating
gas by being dissolved in moist air, are
going up in New York and Brooklyn. The
substance is manufactured from tar or mine
raj coal, and while it can be afforded at
half the price Of "burning tluid'' per gallon,
it will yield indefinitely more illumination.
The use Of it would require gasomeier and
gas fixtures in each house, bu, the cheapness
OF the consumption will put movable lamps
of every kind nearly out OF use.

rtoNoMY IN HUMAN roon,

Many persons are unaware of the or, at
differercs Of nutritious matter contained in
inherent articles of food in daily use. Ono

lie or give him strength TO labor. Po,a,oes
contain much more nuiriment Than ,prn;,s
out nothing like the proportion, according 10
bnlk or cost, that is contained in many other
substances used as human food The 6pures
annexed TO the substances named below will
show the relation they bear TO each Other,
and the proportion of nutritive matter that
each contains in 1000 lbs. of the raw ma.
terial. For instance 1000 lbs of win,er
wheat contain 955 lbs. of human food spring
wheat $40 lbs. blighed wheat, 2lO lbs. to
$50 lbs. barley, 9i0 lbs. oats, TAB lbs :.

lbs. potatoes, 230 lbs carrots, and parsnips,
SO lbs. common tnrnips, a. lbs. Swedish
do; 81 lbs ; cabbage 73 lbs.
| By this it will be seen that il is poor econ.
omy to purchase many of the coarse kinds of
food TO common use. Potatoes must be con.
sidered articles of luxury rather than cheap
diet, while they bear price per pound al.
most equal 10 wheat, rye, beans, and peas, 10

WHAT A MAN CAN LIVE on.

In iSl0, some experiments were instituted
in the Glasgow Prison on The diet Of a selec-
ted number of inmates. The persons were
led on The following fare = For breakfa fast,
each had eight ounces of oat meal made into
a porrldge with pint Of butlermilE ; for din
ner, three pounds of boiled potatoes with salt !;
foI supper, five ounces of oat meal porridge,
with one-half pint of bntlermIk. AT the end
oI two months they were all in good health,
each person had gained four pounds weight,
aud they liked the diet, the cost of which in
cluding cookery, was two pence three fanhings
per day.
Other ten men were fed for the same time
solely on boiled potatoes aud salt; each lad
two pounds for breakfast three pounds for
dinner, and one pound Tor supper They
gained three and a half pounds each and
they declared that they preferred This 10 the
ordinary diet of lhe prison.
Twelve others were fed on the same al
lowance of porridge and milk for breakfast
aud supper as the first ten, but for dinner
they had soup, containing two pounds of po-
ta,oes 10 each, and quarter of pound of
meat. At the end of two months they had
lost in weight one and quarter pounds each,
and they all dslked this diet The expense
of each daily, was three peuce seven-eighihs.
Twenty others had the same breakfast aud
supper, with one pound 0? potatoes for din
ner, aud half pound of meat. They pre-
served good health, but rather decreased in
weight, and preferred tie ordinary diet Of
the prison. The expense was four pence
seveu-eighths each.
In these cases, perhaps the previous hab-
its and tastes of The prisoners had ssme in-
fluence ye, it appears that The six pounds of
potatoes, daily was more nutritious diet
than the smaller quantities of soup or animal

We have been favored with sample Of these now

they are useful and convenient. We have not given
them as yet sufficient trial to speak confidently Of
them Mr. HAYWOOD will likely be in Camden soon
and give all an opportunity oftesting their quates
HAYwooD's GUTTA PERcHA PENs.-This is
the name given to an excellent pen we are now
using They seem to be a pen that will last
long time, and prove highly useful to those who
have much writing to do, and may be used on
all kinds fpaper. One great merit attached to
them by those who have tried them thoroughly,
is that they will not corrode. We copy the fol-
lowing paragraph, in reference to the pen, from
the Norfolk (Va.) Beacon:
"This is the name of a new pen just introdu-
ced into our city by the agent from the manu-
factory. They are composition OF gutta per-
cha and metal, arc durable, and will not corrode.
Those who have used them think them superior
to any other pen, and they arc commended as
not required to be wiped after being used. The
gutta percha and metal arc imported and they
are now manufactured in this country. The
agent has met with good success.

Fbr the Camden Journal
To the Tax Payers Of Camden.

Tn a hurried communication through the last
Journal, attempted to present to your view,
some few objections to a sacrifice OF the Railroad
stock held by the town. A view OF the present
condition of the South Carolina Railroad company
will furnish the strongest stargumenta against SAFE
of its stock at current rates, except Wnere ah
unyiclding necessity exists. In presenting this
cursorv view, l am forced to rely upon memory
as have not the reports by me, but the state
ment am sure will be found upon examination
to be sufficiently close approximation.
The capital of the company, including its debt
NAV he set down at 100000. Its gross re-
rciEts last year were 100000, or 1928 per ct.
on debt and capital, current expenditures 40 per
cent. Of gross income or about 62-S per cent on
capital and debt, leaving nett profit Of 10 per
cent to pay dividends at Z per cent on cap;1a
stock, and interest at 5 per cent on the deDI
this leaves fund of over per cent on capital
and debt to folm q sinking fund to meet the
debt of the company; and they now have such
fund of 100000 or upwards. Does not this
brief statement show eonelusively that there IS
good ground for the advance of tUo hundred per
cent in the last few years,-of twenty per cent
in the last two. The history of the road for
many wears presents regular advancement.
Freight, travel and income have increased as
wear succeeded year; and the present year, thus
far is the most prosperous it has ever known !;
and does not the future promise a still more
marked Improvement or is it supposed that the
Wilminpton and Manchester Road, with its inn
mense through travel, the South Carolina and
Charlotte, the Greenvie and Columbia Roads,
passing through the best portion Of the up coun-
try of Carolina, the Rabun Gap Railroad, pour
ing upon this Road the r1ch products Of Tenn.
essee, the extension of Railroads to Montgom,
ery, to Nashville and to Memphis, all give no
promise for the future, and the shrewd capital
lists and Jealous patriots who have invested their
funds and expended their labor in these enter
prises are ali wrong. If so, why or how has
Charleston improved so rapidly in the extent Of
her population and the value of her real estate9
The world believes that these Railroads have
done it, her rivals believe it; for now n Orleans
