Patriotism and Art.

The ladies OF Mulhouse, anxious TO mark their ap.
probation OF the patriotism and energetic de-
votion OF Gambetta during the unfortunate
struggle with Prussia, and his earnest efforts
to save Alsace from being abandoned to the
Germans, resolved TO present hun a testim0-
Mai OF their esteem and gratitude. The form
of the acknowledgment reflects much credit on
their taste and dellcacy. Calling to their aid an
Asatian artist, ]. j. Henner wn0 could sympatn ize
with their sorrow and Indignation, they commits
si0ned him to paint
A SYMBOLIC PICTURE OF ALsACE.
The artist discharged his uuty TO the satisfaction
oil MS patrons and to MS own honor. Full OF sor-
row and Indignation but mindful OF the dignity OF
his native province, he represented Alsace as
young and beautiful girl, dressed In mourning The
figure Is full Of s0r0wlul dignity but looks out as
10 the future with firmness not unmlngled with
hope. There Is no cap-trap, no bom0ast; all 10
simple and forcefu. ana yet full OF sweetness 1t Ii
a noble work, embodying the spirit OF the nour,
and will become valuable and interesting win
time. Gambetta received this touching proof that
amid the strife OF worthless fact0nists the true
people are mindful Of those who sincerely and un-
eelhshly struggle for them.

Walking.

Walking briskly, with an exciting
object of pleasurable interest ahead, is
the most healthful of all forms of ex-
ercise, except that of encouragingly re-
munerative, steady labor in the open
air; and yet multitudes in the cisy,
whose health requires exercise, seldom
walk when they can ride IL the dis
tance is a mile or more. 1t Is worse
in the country, especially with the
we'll horse or carriage must
be brought to the door even If less dis
tances have to be passed. Under the
conditions first named walking is bliss.
1t gives animation to the mind, 1t
WHITES the circulation, it paints the
cheek and sparkles the eye, and wakes
up the whole being, physical, mental
and moral. We know family Of
children in this city, who, from the
age of seven, had 10 walk two miles
to school, winter and summer. Wheth-
er sleet or storm, or rain or burning
sun, they made it an ambition never
to stay away from school on account
of the weather, and never to be late"
and one of them was heard to boast
that i'm seven years it had never been
necessary to give an excuse" for
being one minute behind time even
although in winter it was necessary to
dress by gaslight. They did not
average two days sickness in a year,
and later they thought nothing OF
walking a distance OF twelve miles at
q time in the Swiss mountains. Some
times they would be caught in drench-
ing rains, and wet to the skin. On
such occasions they made it point to
do one thing, let it rain, and trudged
on more vigorously until every th-ead
was dry before they reached home

The Cotton Movements.

The New York Financial Chronicle
has returns from the Southern ports show
ing the receipts exports, ETC., OF cotton for
the week ending Nov l. From the fig
ures thus obtained it appears that the
total receipts for the seven days have
reached ll0.465 bales against 113,l4S
bales last week, 9S,291 bales the previous
week, and sc, les bales three weeks since,
making the total receipts since the first of
September, 1872, 646,989 bales against
459,lll bales for the same, period of
1871, showing an increase since Sept. l
this year of lS7,S78 bales. The exports
for the week ending same date reac h
a total of 54,56l bales, of which 2S,664
were to Great Britain, IA ,375 to France,
and ii ,552 to rest of the continent, while
the stocks as made up arenow SIS, $40
bales. Compared with the corresponding
week of last season, there is an incease in
the exports this week of 1857 bales,
while the stocks are 1853 bales more
than they were at this time year ago.
We extract from the Chronicle at hand as
follows:
Bombay Shipment to our
cable dispatch, received to-day, there have
been l,G0O bales shipped from Bombay to
Great Britain the past week and-bales to
the continent, while the receipts at Bonn
bay, during the same time have been 5000
bales. Compared with last year there is a
decrease this year in the weeks ship
ments to Great Britain, of 1000 bales, and
that the total movement since Jan.
now shows a decrease in shipments OF
10000 bales over the corresponding Pc
riod of 1911

Milk as Food.

In an article ON milk as diet, In q
late number of the Good Health mags-
zine, the writer says that as an article
of diet it would appear that the nutff
tive value of milk, as compared with
other articles of animal food, is not
generally appreciated. DIR. Wiggin, Of
Providence, saws there is less difference
between the economical value of milk,
beefsteak, eggs or FISH, than is conn
monty SUPPOSED The quantity Of
water in good milk is eighty.six to
eighty-seven per centum, in round
steak seventy-five per centum, IN fatter
beef sixty per centum, in eggs about
sixty-eight per eentum.. From several
analyses recently made he estimated
sir.oin steak, (rekconing loss from bone)
at thirty-five cents pound, as dear as
milk at twenty-four cents a quart
round steak at twenty cents a pound,
as dear as milk at fourteen cents .
quart; eggs at thirty cents a dozen, as
dear as milk at twenty cents q quart;
corned beef at fourteen cents, as
dear as milk at fifteen cents. The
result from these deductions seems to
be that milk even at fifteen cents q
quart is the cheapest animal food that
can be used. The writer also says that
i'm order to render milk more digestible,
its particles should be divided, which
can be effected by bread, or some
other farinaceous article. When cooked
with rice and eggs (rice pudding), it
forms the type Of a proper food; con.
tanning nitrogen, phosphates and
starch. Milk, when used as drink,
should be boiled, then diluted with
water. ..r--

Reducing Bones.

In the discussion of wheat culture.
at the late Agricultural Convention in
Newport, n. H, Mr.. Pattee, OF
Mariner, gave a formula for reducing
bones, as follows: Place them in a
large kettle, mixed with ashes and
about one peck of lime to barrel OF
bones. Cover with water and boil. In
twenty-four hours, all the bones, with
the exception of the hard bones,
will become so much softened as to be
easily pulverized by hand. They will
not be in particles of bone, but in
a pasty condition, and in excellent
form to mix with muck, loan or ashes.
BY boiling the shin bones ten or twelve
hours longer, they will also become
soft. This is an easy and cheap meth
cd of reducing bones. If the farmer
will set aside cask for the reception OF
bones in some convenient place. and
throw all that are found on the farm
into 1t, especially if one or two dead
horses come into his possession, he
will be likely to find a valuable
collection at the end of the year
which would prove a valuable adjunct
to the manure-heap.

Pen Portrait Of jefferson.

Jefferson was seventeen, tall, raw
bOned, sandy-haired and freckled,
when, in 1770, he came to Williams
burgh from the far west of Virginia to
enter the College of William and Mary.
With his large feet and hands, thick
wrists, and prominent cheek bones and
chin, he could not have been accounted
handsome or graceful. He is described,
however, as a bright, healthy-looking
youth, straight as q gun-barrel, sinewy
and strong, with that alertnessof move
ment which comes of early familiarity
with the saddle, gun, canoe, minuet
and country dance-that sure, elastic
country-bred lads who have been ex-
empt from the ruder tolls of agriculture
while enjoying in full measure the free
dom and the sports of the county. His
teeth, too, were perfect, which alone
redeems a countenance destitute of other
charms; his eyes, which were of hazel
gray, were beaming and expressive,
and his demeanOr gave assurance OF
gentle heart, and sympathetic, in.
quisitive mind. Such lads, eager and
uniformed, still come to college from
honest country homes, in regions
where agriculture is carried on upon a
scale that allows some leisure TO the
farmers family, some liberaliiy of ex-
penditure, books, music, tincture of
art and hOspitable airs. How welcome,
how dear to instructions worthy OF
them, are such unhaekneyed minds
in bodies unimpaired.

A Mothe Influence on the Child.

The schoolmaster sees the mothers
face daguerreotyped in the conduct
and character of each little boy and
girl. Nay, a chance visitor, with a
quick eye, sees very plainly which
child is daily baptized in the tranquil
waters of a blessed home, and which is
cradled in violence, andsuckled at the
bosom of storm. Did you ever look
at little pond in sour, dark day in
March? How sullen the swampy
water looked The shore pOuted at the
pond, and the pond made mouths at
the land; and how the scraggy trees,
cold, and bare-armed, scowled over the
edge! But look at it on bright day
in June, when great rounding clouds,
all golden with sunlight, checker the
heavens, and seem like great flock of
sheep which the good God is tending
in that upland pasture of the sky, and
then how different looks the pond
the shores all green, the heavens all
gay, and the pond laughs light out
and blesses God. AS the heavens over
the water, so a mother brOOds over the
family, March or June, just as she
will.-TheOdOre Parker.

ARemarkable Invention.

The New Haven Palladium says
" Mr.. Henry Bushnell, OF this city,
has invented machine which Ii Ia
said Mr.. Thustou, the celebfated
patent lawyer of Providence, calls the
most remarkable he has ever seen. 1t
is the result of years of thought, and
is made to utilize the power which
there is i'm the ebb and flow of tide. 1t
is so made. that whether the tide Is
rushing or out wheel will turn
the invention, consisting in preserving
q constant motion of the wheel. This
power will be used to pump air into q
large eistern. from which pipes will ex-
tend over a city, the compressed air
being used as motive power. Mr.
Bushnell intends to set up the first tide
wheel in the Quinnipiac River, where
he says the tide rushes in and out with
a force equal to about seven thousand
horse power.
