Cookery Scientifically Treated.

Professor BLOT, famous authority in culinary
matters, has been giving illustrated lectures on
cookery in Boston, where his subject and manner
of treating it attracts much attention. he cooked
on the stage the dishes of which he discoursed.
From o report of his third lecture, published in
the Boston Post, ne extract some general obser-
yations which will be found interesting and useful
by the ladies':
An omelet may be made more haky by being set
in the oven as soon as done.
Mover bring fat to the table.
Potatoes, when cut into thin slips like pencil,
make them potatoes Franoaise.
The quicker broth cools the longer it will keep.
MANY people mistake rich food for high sea-
soned food. Rich food is healthy; high seasoned
food is unhealthy. Rich food is not stimulating;
hot food is stimulating:
In summer make broth every other day.

bread as moist as the bottom. The paper prevents
the steam from rising. You need only to baste
the paper occasionally. Some meats require less
time to bake than others. Pork and veal, to be
healthy, should always be overdone.
Speaking Of the trichin@ in meat, the Professor

danger from it. Many people have eaten diseased
meat without injury. whole brigade Of the
French army in 17sS-and If was an historical fact
was fed on diseased meat for four or FIVE
months; and at the end of that time the men were
apparently as healthy as those Of other brigades
who ate wholesome meat. The fact Of it was the
diseased meat was overlooked, and the men did
not know the difference.
The Professor could not recommend diseased
meat, but the object Of referring to the subject
was simply to show the Importance, sometimes,
of overlooking meat.

nIortuary Statistics of the War.

The statistics of mortality in the Federal army
are exceedingly interesting. On the 18th of April,
1851, President Lincoln called for seventy-tive
thousand militia, and was ridiculed by many per-
SOFAS for calling out so large 8 force, as the
"Seyenth Regiment" OF New York dandies propos-
ed crushing out the rebellion by marching through
the Confederate States from alexandria to New
Orleans" Before our armies were defeated and
the Confederacy destroyed, two million seven hun
dred thousand men had enlisted in the Federal
in battle. and one hundred and eighty-four thou
sand died Of disease.
This grand total of two hundred and eighty
thousand met their death in every shape. Fifty
thousand we're killed outright upon the battle
field; thirty-6ve thousand died OF wounds, while
disease swept off one hundred thousand.

meeting OF the American Ethnological Society
war held recently at the residence OF Mr. E.
g. Squier, when Dr. Macgowan read q paper on
Encouragement Of the thyroid gland OF the
neck-in certain districts OF the United States,
and on the modifying influences of climate. he
had observed while in the army the prevalence OF
that Alpine affection in the hilly region Of Vir-
ginia-on the activities of the Blue Ridge, where
for the most part it was restricted to negroes and
mulattoes He lately, however, found 1t far more
prevalent in lateral valleys of the Susquehanna,
particularly on its tributary, the Juniata. In the
Buffalo valley, at least one per cent, and in tho
Kishacoquila valley two or more per cent. OF tho
population were thus affeoted-among the third
and fourth generations Of the settlers and, as in
corresponding portions of Switzerland, chiefly
among women; but while in the Alps one-twelfLh
of the subjects of the malady are males, its oc-
currence among men in these parts at ulr country
is extremely rare. 1t is most frequent IN narrow
valleys and moist ravines. In K shac"Qrlla val
ley, the hills of which have an aitidu of about
FIVE hundred feet above the JuhiAia there ID a
low belt, above which the disease s hot Utton met
with.
DR.. 1lacgowan thinks ho fbnnd evidence in
those valleys of incipiet crttiuisu as the propor-
ton OF daft persons ID fer greater than he found
in other portions of his American travels. AS the
same conditions obtain here that are found IN
certain portions OF S~itzvraLd. he says that but
for counteracting call>es few more generations
would develop the usual ..'ncolnitant OF goltre-
cretnism; the chief conntcrac,iug cause being the
migratory character OF uur people. In these Sc
cluded valleys there is II great amount Of inter-
marrying, which contributes to physical and men
tai degeneracy. The imbecility observed by DR..
Macgowan was not observed among-the goitrous
population, but among those who are exempt

Senor Navarro, Consul General Of Mexico,
stated that in certain portions of Mexico goitre
ana cretlnlsm were prevalent, both among the In
alans od and Spanish settlers. MIR. SQuier had OBJ
served goitre in Peru and in Nicaragua. DR.. Mer-
RICK spoke Of its prevalence in Panama. DR.. Mac
Gow;an attributed the exemption Of American
lnolans from goltre to their migratory habits.

WIND lAe.e causes we're,

been impossible What these eauses we're,
he exhibits in detail.
From the same publishers we have received
handsome volume of 4l4 pages, entitled "Let-
tiers of Life" by Mrs. L. II. SIGOURNEY. These
letters contain particular account" of the
life of the distinguished American PoetcSs.
They comprise the events, little and great
common place and pOetical, of seventy years.
The chapters are fourteen in number, as fol-
lows: "lIOme and its Inhabitants; Early Years;
"My Teachers; First Grief and First Journey
"Household Employments; Social AmuSe-
'mentS AriStocracy of the Olden Time
{" Written Thought Educational Remembrance;
Love and Marriage; Domestic Life; Lapse OF
" Years; Literature ; Goodbye" These let
tiers inform us that the volumes published by
Mrs. SIGoURXEY number fifty-six, and that she
contributed more than two thousand articles to
about three hundred journals. These letters
are quaint and pleasing, free from offensive
ecotism, and marked by feminine taste and
delicacy. They contain interesting pictures of
Connecticut manners in past age. Mrs. ST.
GoURNEY's life was tranquil life of duties
performed, labors accomplished, and rewards
and hOnors enjoyed. While she wrote poetry,
she lived prose. While there is much to
please, there is nothing to excite the reader, in
his rather demure autobiography.

Gifts and Grants.

In the last issue Ofthe = Round Table" Gene
raj GRANT is criticized for accepting the gift of
one hundred thousand dollars from individuals
in New York. His acceptance of this handsome
present is cOptrasted with the refusal by Presi-
dent JOHNSON, last year, Of carriage and pair
of horses. Conceding to General GRANT much
good taste 50 in other matters" the Round Ia
Die says he has greatly erred in this"-that
" the purse is presented by individuals, and in
such way as to compel an obligation on the
part of the recipient" The Ro,nd Table thus
concludes :--'' There is bnt one course for an
official, and that is always and ever to refuse
gifts. Especially is it out ofplaee fora Gen
& eral, at the head of the National Armies, to
81 accept donations of any kind
