FOOD FOR TIE SICK.

What shall eat How often this question IS asked
bv the sick or those with delicate appettes. Natsre
demands food but the appetite does not crave 1t, ana
the mind OF the feeble invalid cannot fix upon any
thing that he will reIsh.
II NAV relieve such sufferers to point ont few
suitable articles OF food such easily prepared
and usually tempt delicate appetites.
Here is one peculiarly New Ii glandish:
Cent some Goldfish to bits the size Of pea, and boil
il O minute water to freshen IT, Pour on an the "a-
ter and add some cream and a little pepper.
Split and toast O Boston cracker, and put the
above upon it. Milk and little butter may be used
HAN or smoked beef may be prepared in the
same way For variety, beat mp an egg and stir 1t
in, instead OF cream, with the cream.
"These preparations are also goof for reish Tor
family for breakfast or tea.
Another excellent dish for sick WELL and eco
nomcal withal is made by taking few cakes Of pilot
bread and soaking them till partially soft, after break
ing them into mouthfuls, in just water enough to be
all absorbed then cut slice of fat salt pork into
very small pieces fry it crisp, pour 1t over the Bread
and heat the whole in stove or oyen or in SPIDER
Another plan is to pour over the bread sweetened
butter gravy, wine sauce, or the juice OF stewed
fruit or preserves. All are good.
Avery excellent food for delicate stomachs may be
mace by tWeetellnB Coiu vi hot, wiz" 'sHH'N
sugar, and crumbing into it stale bread
Bread and cider used to be sfavorte food in Yankee
land, in old times. Sweeter the cider and crunb into
il toasted bread.
Beef tea is very Dounshng, if rightly prepared.
Take perfectly lean ports OF fat beef cut it into cabes
half TN inch square, AMI soak IT some hours m cold
water, and then boil al together for an hour. You
may improve this by adding toasted cracker to each
bow-full.
Mutton or chicken tea should be made in the same
way and rice may be added 10 either 10 make it food
as well as drink.
Sometimes piece Of Goldfish or a slice OF tat salt
pork. roasted upon live Goals will tempt Gonzales
cent appetite when nothing else viii answer
In making porridge Of corn oatmeal be careful to
cook well. Don't think it done till it has boiled an
hour.
Rice cruel does not need so much cooking. II
should not be given TO person OF oonstpated habits
Simple boiled rice is delicate food for the sick.
Arrowroot, tapioca, farina, and corn starch, are
all OF the same character-hghy concentrated food.
A good Cruel may be made Of either, and favored
with sugar nutmeg, lemon, &c. Stale bread, very
dry. crumbed and made into cruel, is perhaps the
most digestible Stale bread, toasted very dry and
brown, and then stepped in water long time, makes
good drink for the sick and furnishes considerable
nourishment.
In all cases of sickness, when the opetite Graves
fruit we would give it, ripe and fresh in its season,
preserved and cooked in the most simple manner
Apples for the sick should always be roasted. 80

FREE TRADE IN WOOL.

To Ae Editor Of The N. y. Tribune.
SIR: The long threatened blow is about to fall on
the wool growers Of the United States The woclen
manufacturers having for whole generation been
protected by high duties cloths OF foreign make,
under promises to the consumers that high duties
should soon make cheap cloths, are not quite bold
enough to ask for an increase OF direct projections so
they get up a story that American grown wool will
not make fine cloth, and ask Congress to take all
the duty off wool Of al grades of foreign production
Thus they hope to increase their profits though may
be at the expense Of growers OF wool here. FL
while this would be profitable to the manufacturer,
but ultimately it would ruin him, ard most ipjurousy
affect the whole country But before proving this to
be- the true STATE Of the case, let whether the
manufacturer is Going bad and Improbable business
In 1850 the whole number of pounds Of wool manu-
fsctured 10 the United States was 20 e29 the whole
value Of raw material used worth S2j 7559Jl; the
value Of the products s3, ,207, ,545-see Compen-
dium Census, 1850, page 1901
These figures contradict the story Of tae maHufature
He must be doing at least as good business as the
PRODUCER Of WOOL
The duty is TO be taken OF wool under the pretense
that Re wool is required which is better than pro-
dreed here. BY examining into the of the wool
trade htte We shall whether this is the true rea
son for asking for free trade in wool.

CAUSES OF THE DECAY OF NATIONAL

Two things are generally conceded, viz: that the
American women are not as healthy as the European;
and that the present generation, especially the women
are rot as healthy and vigorous as former ones.
What are the causes Not our CLIMATE, for that is
the same as il Was when the women of this country
were as healthy the English, Scotch and Irish and
when beth sexes were as vigorous their ancestors
or any other people. The change, then, must be ow-
ing TO changes IN our domestic habits ana modes Of
education. Some of these Will now be indicated.

Charles L. Wilson, Of the editors of The Chicago

latter commenced abusing Mr.. Wilson, threatening TO
pull his nose. Mr.. W. advised this doughty Eight
and crush" champion of Douglass Of the danger Of
attempting anything Of the sort, whereupon Hoyne
struck Mr.. W. in the face. OF course fight ensued
tr result Of which must have been highly unsatsfac-
tory to Hoyne, who found that be mad caught
Tartar" and good drubbipg into the bargain. The
editor gave the DistrctAttoney decidedly the worst

We regret, for the sake OF friends of the State
Bank, that Mr.. Wilson should have so unceremo-
nOusIy landed the United States D;strict-Attorney
into their banking room, through the large plateg
window: but we think If Charlie had thought mo-
ment he would not have made deposit Of such depre-
cated currency. As soon as circumstances rendered
locomoon possible the United States Disrict-Ator-
ney found change Of location decidedly advantage

on TIE CHEMISTRY OF FOOD.

MUNICH, teD. H. ieJo.
After Iiebig had given his reasons, drawn from
natural philosophy against Materalism and in favor
of n vital power and SOUL he spoke three Saturdays on
the articles used as food for man, giving clear alb
trac of the theory discussed in his letters on chems-
try, and illustrating il by experiments You remem-
ber that two groups oforganc matter distinguished
in human food. Tie first contains carbonic acid and the
elements of water and appears starch. gum, sugar
and fat: The other adds to these sulphur and
nitrogen, and appears under various forms. as
caseine abumen, and fbrine. These substances
are found in vegetable as well as IN ANIMAL 1000:
Now men peed food for purposes OF strength and
warmth The temperature of the body is maintained
by the burning process of respiration in which 1000
containing carbon combines with the oxygen OF the
air and is thrown off carboc acid ana water. Inc
growth and repairs Of the muscles take place through
the medium Of the blood; the mechanical force and the
substance of the muscles continually supplied by
nitrogenous food transmitted into blood In our COM
mon articles of food material for respiration and for
the formation of blood are present In different propor
tons In potatoes for example there Is IL per cent Of
pitroeenous matter, in barley II, wheat FL woinans
milk 25 cows milk 49, peas 43, and In beef os, WINE
tie food which supplies warmth is IN inverse proper
ton; in potatoes example, it being SO per cent
In,ths connection Liebg gave an explanation of his
views in relation 10 beer, winch have been msunuer-
stood and very much contested IN Munich. beer Is
worthless for tie formation OF blood 1t is OF value only
TO support respiration and To supply warmth Inc nj
t1ogenous portion of the barley becomes soluble III
brewrg q. asses off in the sweet beer, and is sepa-
rated partly by boiling and partly by fermentation,
as lees. a little of the dregs remain; the
brewer makes il a. little az possible, or else the beer
sours easily. A chemist Of Munich eleven years ago
asserted that our brown beer contained gum, two
grains to the quart Throwing out of account the
Iitrogen which appears in beer 10 the form of ammo
pica salts and estimating only that which il presents
ns cum man who drinks eleven pnts of beer per
day would get no more gum in whole year than a
fve.pound loaf of bread furnishes. Beer serves TO
make people fat who thin in flesh it has the same
efoot as starch in bread It has its value in supply
ing warmth, but not in the formation Of blood. 1t has
its use also as a means of enjoyment and as stimu-
liant to tho nerves but that does not come into the
account of chemistry chemically the use OF meat may
be recommended with bread instead Of beer. Liebig
ntimated in conclusion, that the best proportions OF
food for use were one Of nitrogen TO three of carbon
the proportions in womans mik.
