from numerous branches of trade in generally
small quantities, and accommodations are
readily obtained upon first class paper at 10 to
70 per cent. per annum. Excepting this class

in the woods can eat hardy meal of pork and di-

sional men and students to eat pork, is almost
way to acquire dyspepsia. Besides the hog is Inhabited
by several very disagreeabe companions, among
which are the Trachin1 Spras pork-worm and
the Tape-worm. From extensive experiments made
in Chicago ii found that one hog in every fifty
contained the Trachinp or pork-worm. Scarcely a
week passes but we take up paper containing one
or more deaths ON this cause. Tapc-worms also
very common and like the Trachna are taken into
the system by eating raw ham and sausage, or some
times by eating rare cooked pork. If therefore you
want TO eat pork seasoned with Trachina and Tape
worm, always have them well cooked, and they will
do You no HARM but for my part prefer to eat meat
which does not contain this kind of seasoning.
feel to sympahze with certain good old deacon
who had very supcrs,itous notions about the use OF
pork He was one time called upon to return thanks
at dinner where they had roasted pig. He first
carefully surveyed the smoking pig and then began :
so, Lord If Thou cans bless under the gospel what
Thou ddst curse under the law, bless this small pig"
Dean Swift used to say that if he had an Offering to
make TO the devil it would be hog stuffed with to-
baCcO.
Eggs, Oysters, CLANS, and many kinds of fish when
cooked without too much seasoning, make very ex
ccllent food. They are especially rich and phosphor
us, and in the muscle element of food, that they
make good food for both workers and thinkers
Those fish which inhabt swift streams are much the
most valuable, as the muscle is better developed and
they make swecter and richer food So also among the
different kinds of birds the flesh of those of active
habits is the sweetest and richest in phosphorus For
this wild game is more valuable than domestic
fowls.
A meat diet is more stimulating than vegetable
ttliet and for this reason, meat should always be
used in moderation Old people require more meat
than young people and children. Persons who labor
hard, and who exposed to great hardships, also
1require more meat than those who lead quiet in
active life. The use of meat like the use of every
other good thing, may be abused but We believe when
used with judgment and moderation, il conduces
greatly to human health and happiness
