Potatoes that are potatoes--He mean poia-

not much nonrishment in them. CabhaCes.
Spinach, and Green's Of all sorts are aood
only for those who never have found them IN

and will fatten them. Never believe that their
teeth decay in consequence. Milk is excellent.
It satisfies the appetite, is light, wholesome
and cheap. Boiling the milk improves its Ea-
vor, ripens it, and makes it easy of digestion
even for the sick. Simple puddngs, fruit
pudding and pies, il not too rich, are economi-
cal and good. Then fruit in its season IL
worthy Of thanksgiving. Strawberries are
plenty that they can better be afforded than
meats, and they are as wholesome, as refresh
ing too,-Bananas now abound Those which
are perfectly ripe and not at all decayed, are
safe. Pine apples furnish the palate with
perpetual illusion. You lay hold Of one, and
its delicious flavor promises great pleasure to
palate, but it seems to fail Of meeting the de-
mand exactly, and though you stuff with the
woody, fbrous body Of the apple till your
judgment forbibs any more, you still expert

1t is great pity that their very pleasant flaver

some such harmless medium as mush, rice or
Indian meal If the Crystal Palace does well

haps it may be yet. We shall not patent the
suggestion. Eggs fortunately fetch prices
that can be afforded. They are very nutri-
tious and very digestible, unless cooked to the
consistence Of bullets. We suspect that egg
fed men make the best thinkers, meat-eaters

Now phosphorus is plentiful in eggs, whence
