MEAT AT BREAKFAsr.-A recent wIiter
expresses has belief that meat should BE-
'ak n at the morning meal, and thus give,
his reasons:
1t may not be digested so quickly as some
starchy substance but, as rule, is digested
easily, and it certainly satisfies the system,
and carries us further in our work thar
vegetables alone At this time meat should
be taken in a palatable and easily digested
form-stewed, with the nutrient juices saved
in the sauces, and the aromatic principle
developed by the heat; or, better than all.
broied for here the juices are retained in
the tissue and the flavor is developed by the
hardening and caramelization. as it were, OF
the exterior Above all, avoid the abomna
tion of frying fresh meat; not alone as a
matter of taste, but as violation of scientific
laws. \ fresh animal tissue which has
soaked up mass of seething fat is not in a
proper condition to be taken into the system.

ened that they will not readily absorb the

THE WANDERING JEw.-From the year
1918 perhaps earlier) to about 1890. hand
somely featured jew. in semi eastern cos

tently fixed on little ancient book he held
in both hands, might be seen gliding
through the street of London, but was never
seen to issue from or to enter,a house, or to
pause on his way. lie was popularity known
us the . Wandering jew" but there was
something so dignified and anxious in his
look that he was never known to suffer the
slightest molestation. Young and old look
ed silently on him as he passed, and shook
their heads ptifully when he had gone by.
lie disappeared, was seen again in London
some ten years later, still young, fair haired,
bare head, his eyes bent on his book, his
feet going steadily forward as he went
straight on; and men again whispered as he
glided through our streets for the last time
:" The Wandering Jew !" There were
many who believed that lie was the very man
to whom had been uttered the awful words,

While the party were at New Orleans, three
men elbowed their way through the crowd
and inquired for Ben. Wade, and upon

of the righteousness of the lost cause
We'll, gentlemen said the Senator, Z"

how did you three men manage to carry On

selves ?" The three rebels did not attempt
to explain how they did carry on the war.

TRIcHINA.-A Chenango County IN. Y. }
paper SAYS: " A farmer, Mr. Jesse Reed, OF
Smithfeld, last spring bought a shoat out Of
a western drove and fattened it for his own
use, and on killing it this fall, the pork worm
was found in abundance. After the hog had
been duly killed, and his carcass partially
cooled, tue flesh seemed 10 come to life again
in the shape Of innumerable worms. These
animals were found most abundant in the
lard, around the kidneys and beneath the
spare ribs, although they were discovered in
and crawling from the IN )re solid pork. In
size they varied from line to three inches IN
length, their circumference heing proper
tIonal. In appearance we can compare them
to nothing more than small earth worms
Under the microscope their heads seem to be
pointed corrugated and wrinkled, bearing a
slight resemblance to the common auger,
while like that instrument, they seemed t.
have been principally used in boring. Their
skin or coat seemed TO be spotted, or rather
marked with irregular colored rings. The
intestine of this parasite is Il continuous
track-the stomach being only an enlarge
ment of the canal. They have eyes, but we
lave not vet been able to discover ears. : : <
These animals are emphaticaly social beings,
being often found cengregated together In
little communites-lheir tails interviewer
while their head, stick out i'll every direction
like so many quills of porcupine When
they travel through the fat and lean of the
pork their tracks resemble those left by tie
wood worn-the flesh has dead, mealy,
notified appearance. We procured a number
of these curious little fellows the other day,
and gave them habitatiOn in diluted alcohol.
They are still alive, and don't appear drunk
either, although they have been soakers for
five DAYS. In activity they seem to be con
stitutionally tired-their movements being
slow and seldom, even in their native ele-
ment porkers.

An EXCHANGE AND Law SUIT.-A most
singular law suit has just been instituted in
our Justices Court, says the Albany knick
erbocker. 1t is one that depie,s, in unmis-
taxable language, the depraved state of
morals that exist in our city. short time
since two men. who were courting two girls
in tae same house, concluded to marry, and
the ceremony was accordingly celebrated =
After four weeks cohabitation, both of the
men became dissatisfied with the objects Of
their choice. They believed that each had
made the wrong selection. and that a change
in women would he more in keeping with
their peace and happiness. From some cause
the same feeling existed on the part of the
women. A trade was spoken Of and, sngu-
lar to relate, was agreed to by all parties.-
One of the men had better looking woman
than the other. and thought that this should
bring premium. He demanded $50 to boot
This was agreed to- and the money was to
have been paid in two weeks The change
of wives took place. They lived together
three weeks, yet the $50 was not forthcom
ing. The money was demanded several
times. but not received. Now the party
claiming the money has engaged legal coun
sci and instituted a suit in the Justice Court
for breach of contract and the recovery of
the money. How it will terminate remains
to be seen.

To be the strongest man IN the world Is not
an unenviahle position, and feats OF strength
are always interesting sights, and frequently
furnish topics of conversation and discussion.
Such has been the case ut Chesterton, Eng

to feats of strength of "A native OF Australia,
who gave sedRce there before a sprinkling

profession, solicitors, veterinary surgeons,
bankers. and some of the most respectable
inhabitants Of Chesterfield. Professor Her
cules having exhibited some very valuable
and handsome presents, proceeded to hold
a fifty six pound weight in various positions
at arms length and increased the number
until he raised four fifty six weights above his
head, holding them at arms length, and at
the same time standing upon four tumb'er
glasses. lie also held weights on the top OF
the glass, and allowed glass of water to
be placed on top of the weights. lie laid Hat
on the floor and allowed fifty six pound
weight to fall distance Of about yard on
his bare chest, and the weight rebounded as
though it had come in contact with piece of

fat upon the floor and allowing Ilinch to
strike him with all his strength with a six

met by the Professor, and the hammer re-
bounded without leaving scratch upon his

of a man who rarely failed to go to bed in.

night. Upon his being charged by friend
that he never went to bed sober. he indig

one particular night in proof.

DoN'T ANNOY TIE DRUGGIsT.-It is dan

in this city. and going to the counter took
new hair brush from the top IF the show case
and used it on bis unclean hair and whiskers.
The precise and fastidious druggist was
greatly annoyed by the act. and resolved to
be revenged. Catching the mans eve he
looked at him intently for a moment. and
then remarked gravely. Don't you feel
well? Look in the glass" The man did so,
and, with some alarm, asked the druggist
what be meant. why. l. never saw You

on going to bed. The man paid the sum of

Horrible Diseases.

How many thousands of persons, both male and
female there who suffering out miserable
existence from the effects of indulgence, or
from virus absorbed into the system. Look at
their paid emaciated and disfgured faces and
their broken-down constitutions, disqualifying
them for the happiness of marriage the enjoy
ment of life. In this horrid situation thousands
suffer until death closes the scene. Let parents,
guardians and friends attend to those who are suf-
ierlng with any of these horrible life destroying
maladles-see that they cared for and cured
before it is too late. Send them Immediately to
Dr. Glbbon, physician who has made private
diseases his special study for years and who is
certain to cure the most inveterate cases without
mercury or any injurious drugs. 1t is important
to those afflicted to those who are interested in
the welfare of their friends to be careful of the
many pretended doctors who infest all cities, pub
fishing their skill in curing all diseases in few
days, imposing upon tke public by using the names
of eminent physicians from Europe and other
places. Be therefore careful and make strict
inquiry you may fall into the hands of those
charatans.
