Philosophy of Eating.


The young eat for three reasons: lst,
To grow End. TO keep warm; Sd, To re-
pair waste. Adults eat for the last two
purposes; hence all food contains one OF
two elements, and some kinds both. called
nitrogen and carbon. The nitrogen makes
flesh. sometimes called muscle, and is the
same as lean meat. Carbon makes the fat,
and is that which keeps us warm. Sugar,
starch, arrowroot, oil, butter, suet and lard
have no nitrogen there is nothing IN them
TO make flesh out Of; allthe Dutrlnent they
afford is carbon, the material for warmth.
Infants and young children would soon die,
would get SO chilly as to freeze, as it were,
unless they had something sweet in their
food hence nature has implanted in them
an unappeased taste for sweet things. The
thing the newborn infant needs first and
always; is warmth. Butter, oils aud starch
es abound also in the heat-producing ele-
ment, but they require strong powers ot dl.
gestion, are applicable to grown up per-
sons and to the old hence as we grow old
we like fat meats, oils and butter more.
It is in obedience to these laws that AL.
mighty bene6ceDce and wisdom has impart-
ed a relish for oils and fat meats in winter.
because extra heat is needed. Greenland
ers, whose country is always covered with
ice aud snow consider butter, lard, tallow
candles and the rankest oils the greatest
luxuries. But rice, on which many Of
the inhabitants OF warm countries chiefly
live. is said to contain scarce one per cent.
Of the fat or heat producing element, while
oils have ninety six per cent. OF 1t.
All know how buckwbeat ca es are re-.
lished in winter; but when spring comes
on we begin to lose our appetite for them.
The cakes themselves contain fifty four per
cent. of the fat or heat producing element.
and they are made more palatable by
spreading butter on them, aud adding TO
this molasses, each being almost entirely
NINETY six per cent heat-producing.

TIE LUMBERMEN OF MAINE

=
There were shouts in the crowded streets,
And the martial music strain.
And banner waved and loud drum beat,
AS the men of the city came out to meet
The Lumbermen of Maine.
thousand strong and more
+. From the woods and the streams came they,
From where the Kennebec fountains roar
And the swift Penobscot twists the oar,
And the Passamaquoddy bay.
Strong knights of the ak and pole,
Kings of the raft and saw,
In brawny limb and dauntless soul,
BY the breath of the mountain air made whole
And the use of Natures law
They marched with steady tread
Toward the front of death and pain,
Where the splintered stumps of trees were red,
And the rivers waited to raft the dead
Of the Lumbermen OF Maine.
And thousand more forsook
The ak and the setting pole,
And the forest camp by the swollen brook,
And the squads the vacant places took,
To keep the torn ranks whole.
Dusty and hot, and worn,
The regiment came to day,
With a battle flag all soiled and torn,
And dozen footless heroes borne
Behind on q rumbling dray.
Through the city's double tide
Slowly they marched again,
With look of modest and manly pride,
That made them tall as they marched beside
The tbrong of commen men.
Buta hundred strong and three,
They came from the battle plain;
The others will never fell the tree,
Or sing and dance when the raft floats free,
With the Lumbermen of Maine
