The Art of Dining.

The following sensible advice in the art
of dining, is from the pen of Prof. Blot ::
"The mind has it's diseases aa W, II as
the body, and I think vegetsrianism is
one of them. 1t is by practical expert
ence that we learn what food is proper
for us, and not by chemical analysis. Ev-
erything we eat, with the exception of
salt, can be turned into charcoal; yet
who can live on charcoal ? An expert
ment has been made by the great chemist
Msgendie. He fed geese on gum only,
and they died on the 10th day; be fed
some on starch only, and they died the
Gath day he fed others on boiled whites
of eggs, and they died on the 46th day ;
he fed others on the three kinds mixed
together. and they fattened instead of
dying. So we must vary our food as much
as possible in order to supply the waste of
every part of our system.
In cooking vegetables, green vegetables,
sach as cabbage, spinach, etc, should be
put into water at it's first boiling, with
salt. Dry vegetables, like beans, peas,
etc, should be put over the fire in cold
soft water, after having been soaked in
luke warm water-beans for twenty-four
hours Potatoes should be steamed but
never boiled. Steam with the skin on
Bear in mind that potato must never be
pealed; the part Immediately under the
skin contains the most nutriment Cut
out the eyes or germs if any: if young
and tender, the skin can be taken off with
scrubbing brush !; if old, scrape the skin
off and then roast them. In selecting the
potato, remember the smaller the eye the
better the potato. By cutting a piece
from the thickest end, you can tell wheth-
er they are sound. They must be either
white or pink, according to the kind AL
ways select beans without spots. Milk
and eggs partake of the nature of animal
as we'll as vegetable food.
Fish is less nutritious than meat, con-
tanning only 90 per cent. of nutritious
matter, but ought to be partook of at least
twice 4 week. 1t contains more phospho-
rus matter than any other food, and is
very good to supply the waste of our sys-
tenn, especially of the brain. The brain of
an idiot contains about one per cent. of
phosphoric matter, while that of persons

The Wood Moving and Keaping
Machine Works.

A correspondent of the Plattsburgh
Sentinel gives the following description OF
the extensive mandatory of the Walter
A. Wood Moving and Reaping Machine
Company at Hoosic Falls, N. Y, in re.
cent letter:
The farmers are making ready for se-
curing the hay crop. and the great estab-
lishment of the Walter A. Wood Moving
and Reaping Machine Co. has been turn
ing out a hundred mowers and reapers
per day to meet the increasing demand
for these favorite machines. Through the
politeness of the President, Mr.. J. r.
Parsons, we were shown over the works.
The main building is of brick, four hun
dred and four by one hundred and fifty
feet, separated by three solid brick walls
rising above the roof into four fire proof
departments. Here are some five hun
dred employees engagaged upon machines
in every state of progress, from the iron
in the bar, and wood in the plank, to the
last stroke of the painters brush. Every
part is made with the greatest care from
the best material. Each machine is test
ed before leaving the shop by power

field. An imperfect machine is un-
known.
A little to the west stands the foun-
dry. A word about this foundry: la
March, 1870, the whole establishment was
burned. While the ruins were still blaz-
ing, orders were issued by Mr.. Wood for
timber for a new foundry. Before night
the large timbers were being hauled away
from the saw-mill ready to go into the
new building. The present building, 175
feet long, was finished, cupolas erected,
moulds. boxes, moulding foors, and every
thing else in readiness; and castings for
every part of machine were being
brought of building, the timbers of
which stood in the woods ten days before.
Nor does dispatch, marvellous as it is, ex-
ceed the order and care.
Passing to the lumber yard we found
an enormous quantity of lumber drying
for use. Every pile of lumber has its
date painted on one side, so that it is east
" told when every stick in the yard was
brough in. 1t is no longer a wonder that
the Wood machine is second to none. 1t
is rapidly distancing most of its rivals, is
an absolute leader in improvements, and
will continue to be found in the van as
type of pesfection and enterprise.

The Bankrupt Law.

Editor Rutland Herald The bank
rupt law now in force is fast becoming a
dangerous law, and its effects upon the
business interests of the country disas.
trous. 1t has served it's purpose, if it ever
had a legitimate one, and now in it's oper-
ations it offers a premium for dishonesty.
With one voice the people are in favor of
its repeal. Thus far the press of the coun-
try have remained silent in regard to il,
though the effect of the law is such that
every paper in the land should cry out
against it. The cry of repeal should at
once be raised and kept up until Congress
takes action In relation to it; and if nec-
essary give aspiring men to understand
that there is no chance for them unless
they are opposed to the bankrupt law.
The bankrupt law of 1910 defeated the
whig party in 1874. Let the republican
party repeal the present law before it
causes the defeat.

A FIVE PER CENT. LOAN Secretary
Boutwell, is credited with the intention of
calling in twenty millions of the 5-20s
of 1862 and replacing them, where the
owners desire, with the new five per cents.
The foreshadowei purpose is not official
ly amounted. The plan is one which
has been recommended by volunteer fnan-
ciers. AS an experiment it may be worth
the trial. But in the present condition of
the loan market of the world, it Is very
doubtful if the endeavor to make the ex-
change of the 5-205 in this way would
succeed. The former would be retired
the latter would not be accepted.

MEAL FALLING.-On Wednesday af-
ternoon, while the team Of Messrs. Ripley
Sons were passing over a cross road in the
vicinity of the West Rutland quarries,
one of the horses fell in such way that it
became necessary to detach both horses
from the wagon, and in SO doing the wag-
on became unmansgeable. and indulging
in wrangle with the teamster and sever
al persons who came to bis assistance, it
plunged down the bill and finally over
the ledge into an abandoned quarry of
Sheldon & Slasop, nearly one HUNDRED
feet deep and full of water Of the ten
bags of meal thus preeipitated with the
unruly wagon, only seven were recovered
in rather demorslizel state, and were
speedily appropriated by the laborers in
the vicinity, being only fit for pig prov
ender. No damage was done to horses or
men in the melee, but tn three bags Of
meal and the running gear Of the wagon
are "down in the depths"

WESTERN CROPS. - In Kansas the
wheat crop is harvested and yields nearly
thirty bushels to the acre in some places.
Corn is from nine to thirteen feet high.
The wheat crop of Jersey county, Ill, is
estimated at one million of bushels. The
Iowa wheat crop is coming in better than
was anticipated. The corn crop is ahead
of anything ever known before, and the
potato crop is faring well. All the crops
in Northern Indiana are in splendid con.
dition, and the yield of wheat, corn, osts
ETC., will be large.

THE PERSIAN FAMINE.-Continue ued
accounts of the horrible sufferings of the
Persian population from famine show that
something must be done to relieve them
if, indeed, it be not too late already. The
Times of India of May Is says:
THE famine in some parts of Persia is
severe beyond APPREHENSION. Rain was
long hopefully expected, but it came in
very measured quantity. and too late to
turn away the foe that was already at the
door. Thousands are said to have died
by the wayside of sheer starvation, or of
starvation coupled with the diseases it in
variably brings in its train. Most Of the
dead lie unburied-a fact which may be
regarded as the sure precursor of pestil-
ence. At first, when self preservation by
any means whatever became a question to
be decided, yea or nay, the former alter
native prevailed with the Mussulmans,
and more than one human being 10 said
to have been killed and eaten by them. 1t
is stated that the sights to be seen, and
not to be avoided in the neighborhood Of
Shiraz, are such that European residents
will not leave their own houses Also,
beyond Shiraz and Bushire, thousands of
dead bodies lie unburied. Amid all these

ADVERTISING.

Some business men have very
great idea of advertising. One mar
will say that every man in town knows
him, and consequently there is no use
for him to advertise. Another, mine
is the only establishment in the place
where such and such articles are sold,
therefore people must buy of me or 60
without. And again, that they have
been in their present places of business
so long that everybody knows where
to find them without throwing away
money by advertising. And so the
world goes. They seem to forget that
our country is increasing in population
nearly forty per cent. every ten years,
and that constant changes are occur
ring, no matter how old, new, large or
small the place is. Some move to
other parts of the country, and others
fill their places, and in this age of the
world, unless the name of business
firm is kept constantly before the pub
lie, some new firm will start up, and
by liberal advertising, in very short
time take the place of the older ones,
No man ever lost money by judi
cious advertising.
