KENosHA. Aug. IA. 187l-The
scow Scottish Chief, of Chicago, was
picked up in the lake by the shooner
Robert B. Campbell, and towed to this
port yesterday afternoon. Appearances
indicate that the Scottish Chief had
been capsized, and after loosing her
deck load of lumber, righted herself
again. There were no persons on board
of the Scottish Chief when found by
the Campbell, but as the rigging inli-
Gates that the yawl had been unho0ke
from the davias at one end, and the
fastenings at the other end cut, it is
probable that the crew escaped.

How OFTEN SHOULD WE .EAT?--A great
many dogmatic rules have been laid down r.
specting 'the proper number of meals" To Be
eaten per day 1t is very seldom we can n1afe
absolute rules in hygiene. The same rule dpes
not suit every one; as tbeOld saw has i, what
is; is one mans meat is smother mans poison"
The principle holds true of the times Of eating
as well as of the food we eat. Three meals per
day are enough, and not too many for maor;
ity of grown persons. Some are healthier and
stronger with but two meals day and we
hear of crack-brained doctor in Boston who
thinks that be can get along with but one
Even if he could do so, that is no reason why
We should recommed his example as q rule for
other persons to follow. There have been ta.
ses where men have tasted for weeks, or even
for months, and have kept their health; but
their example does not prove that weeks fast
is good thing for ordinary mortals. The COT.
nonsense principle, that each person shontd
Judge according to his own experience of how
many meals he needs, is sufficient In most cas.
es. Children would generally be better off fer
eating four or five times day; in some house
holds that We know, it is the practice to give
them free access to the bread and-butter pantry
during the day, forbidding them any thing be.
tween meals that would tempt the appetite too
strongly. A child will not become glutton
upon bread and butter, and we can recommend
this practice in the case of children whose ap-
pctites have way of getting demonstrative be-
tween meal-times. If they are really hungry,
they can feed it this way to good advantage; if
they are not hungry, they are prevented from
stufing themselves because they have nothing
else to do.-Erchunge.

SOUTHERN MISUNDERSTANDING New

SOUTHERN MANUFACTUREs--The New
York Commercial a dcrtiser says:
. Ifthe crops of cotton continue to be what
they have been, the South will take to manu.
featuring as she never has done before. Moth.
ing else will be left to her if wisdom guides
the investment Of her capital and governs the
direction of her labor. The negro in the field
will produce cotton and corn, while factories
will open an avenue to the industriously dis.
posed of the white and black race alike. There
is no reason why manufactures there should
not offer the same inducement to native labor
at the South that they used to at the North.
Cotton now comes to New England, and Is
made up into fabrics which are returned 10 the
South burdened both ways with insurance,
freight, the charges of middlemen, &c. Why
should they not introduce machinery, and do
the work at homer And why should not mines
be opsned and worked, forests be wrought into
wood work, and score more of industries es-
tablished by which natural products are made
into mcrchantable goods? There is an increase
of capital at the South, and this will soon seek
profitable investment. That it did not years
ago operate in these channels was because of q
want of knowledge and experience and q con-
tent with the situation. 1t was the fashion to
be planter or professional man. Some ira
ders there were and some factors. But there
was neither enterprise nor knowledge in manu-
featuring. and so these establishments languish.
ed. Under the new regime they will increase

HAB1rs-There is nothing that clings 80
pertinaciously to an individual as habits ac-
qquired in early youth. The boy who lounges
away his evenings on the corners in the lager
beer saloon, or in idle and unRrohtaole CONVEX ;
~ which will plague him the rest of his life,
and al the youth who, at eighteen, makes the hu-
initiating confession that he Is already 80
completely the slave to tobacco or ardent spirits
that he cannot give them up, is to be regarded
with pity. Good habits acquired in early lie
are lust as lasting as bad ones. Theyoung man
who spends his evenings at home, in pleasant.
and profitable study, Or in the company OF
" WITH that which is good and ennobling, must have
depraved heart and taste if be does not t. be,
AZ these Should be pondered well by the young
men of the present generation, 50 many OF
whom are wasting precious moments and hours
in worse than proftless pursuits.

DOCTORS AND THEHR FEEs-Only quacta
advertise, mo cure, NO Psyg AN honorable
physicians charge for their time and trouble IN
pr6portion tp. their talent and reputation, no
matter whether the patient remains sacf, geta
better, gets worse, or dues: ~ - -.
!. Many physicians make determination in
regard to these charges, according TO the wealth
of the patient; and this appears no more than
fair. as "a DOOR man is not able TO pay as much as
q rich man. Not that his life is worth less; it
NAV be worth more, for all that, as the poos
man may perform useful labor, while the rich
man NAV be a useless consumer of the goods
nF creation: but that ought not to cause 9
physician to charge rich man less, as the best
nile for them is, to let the rich pay for the
p,oor and To help The very poor for nothing, as
ali respectable doctors actually do.
The Me,fscM Gdseae reports that previous 70
the thirteenth century the law regulated the
fee for doctors propostionally to the rank oi the
patient; SO for curing bishop or local chief,
he had forty-tyo COWS, and for o member OF the
lowest rank only six. cows. This was for seri-
oris complaints; for slight complaints, it was
less in proportionO and if no cure was per
formed, there was no pay.
Dio Lewis declares that. our present system
of employing doctors is all wrong, and advises
people to make contracts with them at $zO0 for
each family, and deduction of two dollars fol
each Ca. Case e of sickness. This is the Chinese
system. There, every family Of note has its
phyaieian,, who has q salary of certain sum sI
per head, TO keep them all in good health. The
amount of this salary ID according to the social
condition of the family and the reputation o.
the doctor. AS soon as a member Of the fami.
" is sick, his share in the salary is stopped
and not commenced again before his health Is
restored 1t is seen that the doctors in China
are not encouraged to protract the sickness oi
rich persons, as is the case with US.
