7 The citizens OF Chicago are now
pluming themselves over the possession of
the finest photograph gallery in the coun-
try. Major Brand, the veteran artist, has
Just converted one Of the late fashionable
residences of that city, No. 2S Washing
ton street, into a magnificent Temple of
Art" adorned within and without almost
beyond conception Tesselated floors, fres-
coed walls, black walnut carvings, splen-
did pictures set in corresponding frames,
dazzle the visitor on every side. A single
fight of stairs leads to the reception and
operating rooms, a marked contrast to the
wearisome nights of most establishments.
No modern hotel can outshine the stump,
tuous carpets and upholstery Of these
parlors, where every convenience and lux
ury are to be found. One of the most re-
markable sights is the large number of
full size portraits which adorn the walls,
all taken by Brands Photographic process,
and colored by his artist so that they
appear like the most natural hand pic
lures Brand says that war prices are
over, and has suited the action to the
word, putting his figures down to the con
sternation of those in the same line.
Under the combined attractions of first
class pictures, in the most luxurious of
rooms, and at rates lower than those
charged for inferior pictures, Brands
Temple has made decided sensation, and
is thronged daily with numerous visitors
from city and country. This enterprise
is bold one, but has already proved a
success.

AVERY amiable and modest widow lady

A VERY amiable and modest widow lady
lived In certain country. Soon after her
husband had paid the debt of nature, leav-
ing her his legatee, claim was brought
against the estate by his brother, and

fore useless except with food deficient in
carbon.
And another article most extensively
used, and for the same reason wasted, is
sugar, which, though useful with too acid
fruits, and as part of meal in which is
too large proportion of heterogeneous food,
is worse than useless in confectionery,
cakes, etc., especially if eaten be-
tween meals, and when food is not
wanted, as it not only adds to the super
huous heat, but causes fermentation in the
stomach and bowels, and causes, or tends
to cause, flatulence, collie, dyspepsia and
thousand and one troubles of The digestive
organs, which we are apt to impute to
green vegetables and fruit, when the fact
is, these extra carbonaceous substances,
in their passage out of the system, embar-
rass the digestion of natural food, and
causes it to give us these troubles; and
this is proved by the fact that those
who avoid these expensive and useless
articles may eat as much as they
choose Of green vegetables and fruits, an d
they give them no fiatulence, produce no
irritation.
Our Puritan forefathers, who lived on
beans, pears, unbolted grains, and the
meats, vegetables and fruits as they came
from their fields and gardens, cooked in
the simplest manner, best calculated to
develop their natural flavor, and prepare
them for digestion, were not troubled with
f1atulence, collie, or indigestion. And our
foremothers were not the pale-faced, fab
by-muscled, toothless, chloretic, consump-
tive and sentimental race, as are the degen-
crate daughters Of the present generation.
Even our farmers and their wives and
daughters have become terribly degener-
ated. Instead Of the robust and healthy
men, and the full chested, healthy, rosy
checked, beautiful women of former gen.
erations, we see people almost as feeble
and sickly as the city people And the
reason is apparent The outer crust of
the wheat, and the butter milk, which con-
tains the nitrogen, phosphorus, and iron,
on which strength and energy, mental and
physical, and beauty of complexion de-
pend, is given to the cattle and the pigs,
while they take themselves, instead, the
butter, fine -four and sugar, which contain
only the heating and disease producing
carbonates
The robust, Irishmen and Scotchmen,
also, who come here with strong energetic
muscles and sound teeth, from their oat-
meal, wheat and barley cakes, with their
potatoes, buttermilk and cheese, soon fall
into our starch and grease-eating habits,
and become, or at least their children be-
come, as pale, puny and toothless as pure
blooded Yankees.--L!cchda1ge.
