Indian Meal and Corn Bread

al II
A bushel Of corn, say the Michi-
gan Farmer, contains more nutri-
ment than a bushel Of wheat; bat
corn meal should not be ground fine,
as it will not keep sweet. There Is
no grain that can be pat to SO many
different ways as corn and corn
meal. First we have the green
corn, roasting ears and soup in the
early, and the dried corn soap and
hominy, the balance of the year
These dishes every good house
keeper knows how to prepare, being
the most simple in the culinary art.
And then By grinding into meal
what visions Of delicious eating
float before the eyes First we
have the corn cake, made OF meal
and water and a little salt, if you
are too poor to use eggs and milk,
mixed into a dough and baked on
a griddle Then corn bread or
pone. which can only be made prop
erlv by about one houseke9per in
ten. Then mush and milk. and
fried mush. We have never seen
the individual that did not like one
or the other. Many fail in making
good mush by not boiling it enough.
When it is merely scalded it has
a raw taste. Then there is very
good corn meal pudding, made b.
stirring the meal into scaIded skim
milk till It is Is thick a Cruel, and
when cool, add ginger, cinnamon,
nutmeg, salt, sweetening to suit
the taste, and a little fine cut suet.
and some raisins or dried peaches
and a line cut apple. It should
bake an hour or more, according to
size This IS L good pudding. And
then see into how many dishes corn
becomes a palatable and favorite
mixture. 1t Is the cheapest and most
wholesome food that man can live
on, and should be on the table Of
both rich and poor more frequently
than it now is, in some Of its many
forms.
BLowING OUT KEROSENE LAMPS.
The danger Of blowing ont kero-
sene or carbon oil lamps from the
top, IS greater than people generally
suppose. There are several instan-
ces on record, it i said, where lives
have been lost by the explosion Of
lamps from this practice The fol-
lowing explanation of the causes that
produce the explosion are worth

Singular Facts.

The human eye always attempts to sup
ply the complement of color. Thus, if the
eve rests for any time on any color, say
green-which is composed of blue and yell
low-on shutting the eyes a faint repeti-
ton of the object will be seen in red. which
is the third of the primary coors and COM
plimontary to the other two.
The laws of acoustics are hitherto but
little known but it would seem that q sim
liar effect is produced, two notes of the ma
jor triad when struck calling forth a faint
impression on the ear of other notes being
supplied. 1t is curious fhct. and ono
which quite upbolds this law, tha, on strik-
ing any chord on the pianoforte, all the
strings of the same chord throughout the
instrument which are in unison with the
notes struck, are in vibration. while the
other notes are not agitated. This can be
oculsrIy demonstrated by placing on these
strings little saddles of paper, which will
be seen to vibrate violently, while when
placed on other strings which are foreign
to the chord, they rest undisturbed'

Desultory Reading.

The author of 'Waverly ,emarks some-
where in ,ha, work that feeble and inde-
cisive habit of mind is reduced by desultory
and omnivQrous reading An English critic
denies this. and insists that the author him
soIf was direct contradiction TO bis asaer-
ton The writer also refcrs TO PiDy, who,
according to bis nephew, made q sensible
observation ON reading: that there 10 no
book so bad or 80 foolish as not 10 supply
something worth recollec,ing. But then.
now few books were within the reach of
PIiny, the uncle! Pope read every hing,

Dis Milton, we are told, spent his youth
by pouring over romance, and his poetry,
remote as his subjects are from those that
fiji the pages OF such compositions, 10 thor
oughly instinct with their spirit; even in tho
internal regions, an asiute critic remai ks, he
finds a corner to bring in Charlemagne aud
his peerage fighting IN Fontarabia against
the. forces sent from Biserta upon Afric's

lest they should make me as foolish as
those who do;" and yet the man who, in bis
youth, translated Thucydides, and Homer

most various reader.
After all, as a witty writer has remarked,
little people lurk behind great Dames--,o
defend their own propensites, by proving
them in some degree analogous to the pow
erfuI minds Of the world. Whatever may
have been the habits of some great men, the
remark in 'Waverly' is founded in good
sense. The idea is finely illustrated by the
late Prof. Bush in an early GRAFTON, wherein
he cnforces with great cIearDess and ability
the evils of an unsettled mode of stody,
and even insists that the moral tendency of
desui,ory reading is pernicious. This may
he found in the inadequate and unsatisfac-
orv memoir irs of that eminent scholar, pub
ished soon after his death in 1859.

Discovery of Illumina a ting Fluids.

Before tho discovery thai illuminating gas
would supply the place of oil in producing
artificial light all the oils and fats were in
use for various purposes. At that time tho
whale family was yet large,and no difficulty
was anticipated on tho core of a decrease.
But as population increased ana machinery
multiplied, the demand for oil became more
extensive. Gas released part of the press.
ure. but as gas advanced in usefulness, the
whale fishery gave out. Fifty years ago the
whale could be seen and captured along the
whole Atlantic coast. But too much fishing
for him drove him off The Pacific was his
refuge, and even in that great ocean Iherc
wore vast areas where the animal-naturaI
philosophers deDv fish characteristics TO the
whale-cannot be found. Tho pursuit and
capture of the whale was becoming yearly
more difficult He retired to remote rU.
gions, aud the ships fitted out to capture
him, required long voyages. In the mean
while the steam engue was clamorous for

we're pressed into tho service The pig gave
forth it's liquid substance for use Of lamps
aud for the benefit of machinery. Every
animal Welded its richest parts, but all the
time the demand for oils exceeded all the
