Fat Meat.

> The following is from the scalpel, a
medical journal published in New York,
and edited with great ability: 3
with young girls, fashion sometimes
deters from eating fat meat, which is re-
garded as n sign Of grossness and want Of
delicacy; and many, between the ages Of
thirteen and twenty years, manifest the in
furious consequences of this error The
skin is flabby, cool, and blanched, and the
whole system appears exsanguineous: the
cheeks are sometimes flushed with tran
sient, irritant, feverish heat, but there is a
persistent GOODNESS of the hands and feet,
and the aggregate heat Of the body is
deficient. The lymphatic glands Of the
body become enlarged. The appetite is
irregular and fastidious; especially in the
morning, food is taken reluctantly, or ut
teiy refused. In short, the general as
semblage Of symptoms indicate scrofu-
lous constitution. In most cases, there is
a morbid thirst, and the symptoms become
aggravated by an excessive use Of cold
water and other drinks. Il, perchance,
the friends indulge in a ahydropathic mo-
|nomania, the external use Of water is bro't
lin requisition, stilImore to lessen ths vital
heat, depress the powers of life, and aid
in the full development of phthisis..
"Most individuals who avoid fat meat
also use little Of butter and oily grayies,
though many compensate for this want, in
part at least by free use Of these articles,
also milk, eggs, and various saccharine
substances. But they constitute but an
imperfect substitute for fat meat, without
which, sooner or later, the body is almos,
sure to show The cffectof deficient calorif-
cation.
"That these striking facts are common
lly unnoticed, the truth Of which is rem.
dered evident by observation and inquiry
lis conclusive proof that this subject ha.
received little attention. Its importance
can hardly be doubted or over-estimated
when it is considered that full one-fifth Of
the human race is destroyed by phthisis
To parents, whose children have THU
aversion to oily food-this fearful sign O
early dissolution-the subject is one O
the deepest interest. It also deserves the
careful consideration Of insurance com
panies, Of yonng persons in making mat
rimonial alliances, and certainly of physi
clans, the professional, public guardians o
human life and health. The presump
tion will commonly hold true, that per
son who habitually avoids Fat meat at th'
age Of twenty-one, will die of phthisi
before forty-five. s. .s -,
"But the great importance Of oily food
in relation to this disease, consists in il
preventive efficacy. In most cases Of un
equivocally developed phthisis. all cura
tive plans Of treatment fail. Prevention
is the great object to accomplish which

Il don't like those people, they are SO
dreadfully stuck up" was the remark we
overheard the other day. What are stuck
up people /? thought we, and we have
been looking about to see if we could
find any.
Do you see that young man over yon-
der, leaning mp to the post at that hotel
piazza, twirling shadow walking stick;
now and then coaxing the hair on his up
per lip, and watching every lady that pas
ses, not that he cares to see them, but is
anxious to know whether they observe
him, he belongs to the stuck up folks
What is the occasion! |! Well, he happens
to have rich father, and foolish and vain
mother, who have taught him that he
isn't common folks at all, and that poverty
is almost the same as vulgarity and mean
ness, and so he has become stuck-up; he
doesn't take pains to learn anything, for
he doesn't feel the need Of knowing any
more; he dares not work, for he was new
er required to, and he is 80 extensively
stuck-up that he hasn't the idea that he
will ever come down; he doesn't know,
however.
There goes young woman-lady she
calls her self-with the most condescend-
ing sir to no one in particular. and an all
pervading consciousness that creation and
the rest of mankind are looking at and
admiring her; she has never earned the
salt she eats, knows q little, very little, ol
a good many things, and nothing thorough
ly Of anything, is most anxious lest she
should be troubled to make selection
out of fifty young men, all Of whom arc
dying for her, she supposes; she is one
of the stuck up folks, and that is about
all she is.
The oldish gentleman over the way,
barricaded with ahalfa-yard Of shirt col.
lar, guarded with gold-headed cane, with
pompous patronizing air-do you see
him =? Well, he is one Of those stuck-ur
folks, too. 1t has been about ten year,
since he got of his leather apron, and be
gan to speculate successfully in real es
tate.
Thre are othor folks Of this class; som.
stuck up by having at some time been con
stable, a jnstice Of the peace, an alderman
and in various other ways they got stuck
up notions. They are not proud people
for they do not rise to dignity of pride; they
are not distinguished folks, for they have
not ability or character enough to max,
them so-they are just what they appear
to be-"stuck up" Let them stick.--Ex
