CurIosities Of Eating.

An old beau, formerly well known in
Washington City, was accustomed to
eat but one meal in twenty-four hours
if, after this, be had to 90 to party
and take second dinner, he ate no
thing all the next day. He died at the
age of seventy years.
A lady of culture, refinement, and
unusual powers observation and COM
parison, became a widow. Reduced
from affiuence to poverty, with a large
family of small children dependent on
her manual labor for daily food, she
made variety of experiments to aseer-
tain what articles could be purchased
for the least money, and would, at the
same time, ego farthest," by keeping
her children longest from crying for
somthing to eat. She soon discovered
that when they ate buckwheat cakes
and molasses, they were quiet for
longer time than after eating any other
kind of food.
A distinguished Judge of the United
State District Court observedthat, when
he took buckwheat cakes for breakfast,
he could sit on the bench the whole day
without being uncomfortably hungry;
if the cakes were omitted, he felt oblig-
ed to take a lunch about noon. Buck
wheat are q universal favorite at the
winter breakfast-table, and scientific
investigation and analysis has shown
that they abound in the heat forming
principle, hence Nature takes cur ap-
petite for them in summer.
During the Irish famine, when many
died of hunger, the poor were often
found spending their last shilling for
tea and tobacco and spirits. 1t has
also been often observed in New York J.,
by those connected with charitable in
situations, that when money was paid
to the poor, they often laid out every
cent in tea or coffee, instead of procur-
ing the more substantial food, such as
meal, and flour, and potatoes. On be-
ing reproved for this apparent ex-
travagance and improvidence, the reply,
in both cases, were identical; their own
observation had shown them that
penny's worth of tea, or tobacco, or Ii
quor, would keep off the sense of hun
ger longer than penny's worth of any
thing else. Scientific men express the
idea by saying, 'Tea, like alcohol, re-
tards any metamordhosis of the tissues"
in other works, it gives fuel to the flame
of life, and thus prevents it from con-
suming the fat and flesh of the body.
Ii a person gets into the habit of tax
ing lunch between breakfast and din
ner, he will very soon find himself get
ting faint about the regular luncheon
time but let him be so pressed with
important engagements for several days
IN succession as to take nothing be-
tween meals, it will not be long before
he can dispense with his lunch alto
gether. These things seem to show
that, to certain extent, eating often
is a mere a matter of habit. Whole
tribes of Indians, hunters and trappers
have been known to eat but once in
twenty four hours, and that at night

CULPABLE TRIFLING.-That ridi-

be led away thousands of miles into a
dreary wilderness, which has not thus
far paid the living of half who have
visited it, deserve the sad experience

CALIFORNIA INvEsTIoN.-Mr. Gran
mer, Of Calayeras county, has con-
structed model of a new gun which
will fire, says the Tuolumne Courier,
two hundred balls in minute, three at
each discharge, each from separate
chambers. Alta distance Of about fifty
feet, the balls penetrated four pine
boards, each an inch in thickness, and
were then fattened against brick wall.
A noticeable feature is the economy Of
ammunition, one cap and less than two
drachms of powder being sufficient to
throw three balls with the force above
described. 1t can be made to fire a
whole yolley of thirty Founders. The
balls used in the model run forty to the
pound. Mr.. Cranmer has christened his
invention the "World's Peacemaker.

THE scientific advancement Of which
the age is never weary of boasting is,
in reality, the work of a few minds.
We are not crying down our genera
ton as being worse than its predeces-
sors. The case was precisely the same
in former ages. Macauley has re-
marked, for example, that the origina
ton of Gothic architecture, the glory
of the Middle Ages, was probably not
owing to any general cultivation of the
public taste, but to one or two great
and original geniuses and similar
assertion may perhaps be made with
reference to the great epochs of progress
in all past ages.-Eng. Paper.

Adams. The testimony of the sailors
was to the effect that the unfortunate
man (who had incurred the Masters
displeasure, by making an assault upon
one of the officers of the vessel was
placed in irons, and for two months was
kept upon bread and water. He is a
kanaka, but none the less deserving of
