SUMMER SouRs.-Physiologica research has
fully established the fact that acid promotes
the separation Of the bile from the blood which
is then passed from the system, thus preventing
fevers, the prevailing diseases Of summer. All
fevers are "billous;" that Is, the bile Is In the
blood. Whatever is antagonistic to fever is
Cooling" 1t is q common saying that fruits
are Cooling" and also berries OF every de-
scription; 1t Is because the acidlty which they
contain aids In separating the bile from the
blood; that is, aids In purifying the blood.
Hence the great yearnings for greens and let
tuce and salads in the early spring, those being
eaten with vinegar; hence, also, the taste for
something sour, for lemonade, on an attack Of
fever. But this being the case, 1t is easy to soc
that we nullify the good effects Of fruits and
berries in proportion as VIC cat them with
sugar, or even sweet milk, or cream. II we eat
them In their natural state, fresh, ripe, perfect
1t is almost impossible to eat too many, to eai
enough to hurt US, especially II we eat then
alone, not taking any liquid with them what
ever. Hence, also, buttermilk or even common
sour milk is antagonistic. The Greeks ant
Turks are passionately fond Of sour milk. Tht
shepherds use rennet, and the milk-dealeri
alum, to make 1t sour the sooner. Buttermilh
acts like water-melons on the system.

EATING THREE DAYS RATIoss.-In the re-
cent advance, Col. John Groesbeck, seth Ohio
infantry, being then In command Of the since
famous Ohio brigade, issued an order to his
command to put in their haver acks three
days cooked ratioHs. The projected opera
tions being subsequently postponed, the Colonel
directed the ration order 10 be countermanded.
His Teutonic messenger made the rounds of
the camp in persos, late at night, proclaiming
that "Col. Groesbeck ordered his men to eat
up their three days cooked rations." The
Righteousness of the messengers rendering of
the Colonel's order struck everybody, and the
boys solemnly got up from their beds and sat
down to "obey orders" Soon tho camps
were alive with fun rampant. Messes sent to
"report progress" had got to the middle of the
second day, or third days breakfast, &c. Some
begged an extension Of the order, some an ex-
tension Of time. One was full TO the throat,
and had day and half's rations left. What
should he dot And so through all the changes
possible. The Colonel and the Ohio brigade,
which loves him, will never forget the famous
order to "cat the three days cooked rations.'

We have received from Franck Taylor copy
of novel by the above title. Not Dead Yet is
plain, matter-of-fact, strongly-written novel,
and indicates knowledge Of practical life. 1t
interests the reader as a narrative Of some IN
usual event which we soc In the columns of our

adapted to It's work by discipline than through
any innate ability. Mr.. J. c. Jefferson has
written several novs,e which hold prominent
position In the literary world.
WE have also received from Frank Taylor a
copy of Wilson's "Larger speller; or, A Pro-
gressive Course of Lessons and Spelling" ar.

United States, 10 two volumes. By Thomap
NJ. O'Brisn and oliver DiefendoHL Derby ,
Miller, New York, and Hudson Taylor, wash
ington, d. c., Publishers.
In these two volumes now before us from
Hudson Taylor is contained, word for word,
every General Order Issued numerically by the
War Department during the years 1861, 1852,
and 1868. We here have them In two compact
volumes, with ample index, that will be ap-
preclated by those whose proper discharge Of
duty calls for constant reference to the require
ments of the various Departments Of the Gov
ernment. The compllers of this valuable work
have earnestly endeavored to make the index
a valuable auxiliary to staff officers of depart
ment and division headquarters, paymasters,
quartermasters, mastering and dlsburslng off,
GERS, commissaries, provost marshals, and, in
fact, the whole field and staff and line of the
army. The magnitude of the struggle in
which the country is now engaged has necessi-
tated frequent changes and notifications Of
the regulation of the army, In relation to the
operations Of forces In the field, which are
alone promulgated in General Orders, and, Of
the vast number Of officers in the Army and
Navy, II is safe to assume that not one In fifty
possesses a complete file. This work commends
itself to State authorities and their militia Or

clerks in the various Departments of Govern
