FISH AND TEA AS FooD. The London
Times sharply controverts the assertion made
by DR.. Edward Smith TO the British Associa-
ton, that fish is rather relish than food and
contains little more nutrlment than water
As opposed to the statement, the investiga-
tions of NJ. Payen are cited, who proves that
the flesh of fish on the average does not con-
tain more water than fresh beef, and has as
much solid substance as the latter. For, III
stance, the flesh of salmon contains IS. 70 per
cent of water and 24.30 per cent. solid sub
stances, while beef (muscle) contains 1888
per cent water and 24.12 per cent. solid sub
stances. The flesh of herring contains still
less water than that of salmon, and even fiat
fish are as rich in nitrogenous substances as
the best wheaton flour, weight for weight.
Another statement made by DIR. Smith, that
the amount of nutriment contained in an
ounce of tea is infinitesimal, is met with the
assertion that, while tea is no "nutriment" in
the ordinary sense, the individual who takes
tea after his meals feels, without being able
to define it, that tea has favorable effect up
on certain highly important functions in his
body, that digestion Is accelerated snd facilita-
ted, and his brainwork benefited Hereby.
Though not nutriment, tea is thus aleget. to
possess really higher value in medical prop
critics of a peculiar kind.

THE MOUND BUILDERS. The work of the
mound builders in the vicinity of Vincennes,

under the direction of Professors Charlton,
Townsend and others. The exploration of
the largest one was begun by making an en-
trance from the top, which is to be carried
down probably about sixty feet. A local pa
Der saws, s.At ten feet below the surface be-;
of charcoal was found. and below this were
remains of bones, which were almost COM
petely decomposed, indicating their great an
tiquity. As soon as touched they fell into
dust. Perhaps at greater depth, bones may
be exhumed which are better preserved. The
earth in the mound is found TO be exceedingly
compact and dry, well calculated to preserve
the bones. but they are in a state OF almost
complete decay. This is proof OF great age,
as human skeletons have been taken from
burial places in England which were much
less favorable for preserving them, and yet
thew were sound and well preserved, though
tbev VIZ e known to be nearly 1000 years old.
The crumbling and decayed bones that were
exhumed from the mound yesterday no doubt
belonged to the old Toltec race, which inhab-
tied this locality about 5000 years ago; and it
is hoped that some well preserved bones and
other remains representing that ancient race
may be exhumed from this mound"

To-day, there was very sweet young lady
from Brooklyn sitting on the Congress Hall
balcony. She always has lots of admirers

the report had gotten around that she is an
heiress. She is very shrewd young lady,
Instead OF entertaining galaxy of fellows all

If one wants to talk business, he can always
have an opportunity. A Knickerbocker Club
fellow got hold OF her yesterday. He must
have ''buzzed' her for an hour steady-at least
until a young Chicago fellow thought he never
would go, He despaired of getting word in
booker Club fellow, he would have been
tempted to have joined in the conversation,
and run him out. The young lady seemed to
like the fellow and was bound to let him have
his way clear to the end. This made it all
the worse for the Chicago fellow.
Well, how did the Chicago fellow manage it =?
Why, he simply walked around behind the
New York fellow, and remarked to a friend,
just loud enough for the enraptured lover to
hear it
''Why, John, that fellow wouldn't sit there
talking so sweet, if he knew what fearful
rent there was in the back of his coat, would
he?' 4el
The New York fellow overheard the remark.
His look of interest cooled in a moment, as he
worked his back around towards the wall, as
if he were trying to conceal something. He
imagined ten thousand people were looking
at him. He didn't lean forward and look
sweetly into the young lady's eyes any more.
He put his hand convulsively around towards
his back, ahemed! few times in business
like way, looked red in the face, and then
said he expected friend was looking after
him. Then he excused himself abruptly,
and Sbiad off toWards the elevator with his
face to the young lady. He didn't walk
straight, but worked himself along sideways,
keeping his back towards the wall, and then
disappeared up the elevator, just as the yo1ng
fellow from Chicago sat down by the young
lady and commenced his version of the oft
repeated tale Of love and hope.
Are such things right?

The SOUTH FOR MANUFACrURING.-M
John B. Palmer, manufacturer of cotton
yarns at the Saluda cotton mills in South Car
olina, has published paper in which he un-
dertakes to show that he can manufacture
yarns cheaper than can be done either in
Lowell, Mass, or at Manchester, England.
He gives detailed exhibit of bis own costs
item by item, including labor, repairs, and
materials consumed-and shows that he can
make apound Of No. 20 yarn, estimating the
cotton at 20 cents, paying freight and insur-
ance to New York, for 29.S cents. The low
est estimates he has seen of the cost of manu-
featuring yarns at Lowell, including the same
items except freight and insurance 1.-THE same
cotton there costing 22.5 cents,) is 34.S cents.
That is. he at the South can make five cents
a pound more than the Lowell manufacturer
can upon the same article, when both sell in
the North. Mr.. Palmer further compared
notes with a manufacturer of cotton yarns in
Manchester, who gave him the cost Of manu-
featuring the same grade of goods there. The
result of the Manchester manufacturers cal
culation is that pound of No. 20 yarn (the
cotton there costing 25 cents) costs him 35.-
25 cents. Now if we add freight and insur.
ance from New York to England to the cost
of the southern manuiacture-that is, add .5
cents to 29.0S, we find that Mr.. Palmer can
deliver his South Carolina yarn in Liverpool
4.67 cents pound cheaper than the English
manufacturer can offer his own there.
