Eating Without an Appetite.

1t is wrong to eat without an appetite.
for it shows there is no gastric Juice in
the stomach, and that nature does not
need food, and not needing it, there
being no fluid to receive and act upon
it, it remains there only to purify, the
very thought of which should be suffi-
cent to deter any man from eating with
ont an appetite for the remainder of his
life. If tonic is taken to whet the APP
petite it is a mistaken course, for its
only result is to cause one to eat more,
when already an amount has been eaten
beyond what the gastric juice is able to
prepare.
The object to be obtained is a larger
supply of gastric juice, not larger sup
ply of food ; and whatever fails to have
any efficiency towards the cure of dys-
peptic diseases. The formation of gas
tric juice is directly proportioned to
the wear and tear of the system, which
it is to be the means of supplying, and
this wear and tear can only be the re-
suit of exercise. The efficient remedy
for dyspepsia is work-eut-door work
beneficial and successful in direct por-
portion as it is agreeable, interesting
and profitable.

Kate Field on Woman Doctors,

The American Register bases its ar
| guments as to women's unftness for the
medical profession upon the assertion
that they cannot possess equal power
with men because their physical inferi-
ority limits the use of the brain. At
the same time, the Register speaks of
women as mems rivals. If women are
so inferior there can be no rivalry, for
rivalry pre-supposes equality. There
fore. why should male physicians be
troubled at the appearance of tedious"
petticoats? Is it because they are not
quite sure about woman's natural iRfe-
riority? But deny that all physicians
are opposed to female practitioners.
That many entertain a great prejudice
against them is true, and ought not to
excite wonderment. No one likes to
have his business interfered with. Pad
dy, the Irish laborer, hates All Sin, ac-
cuses him of every vice under the sun,
and swears that the Chinese pig-tail has
come to take the bread out of his chill
dren's mouths. One corner grocery
does not adore the next corner grocery.
One prima donna is not the bosom friend
of another prima donna. The world is
fully acquainted with human natures
little weaknesses, and when it wants a
judicial opinion about All Sin, corner
grocery No. 2, or prima donna No. 2, it
does not go to paddy, or to grocer or
prima donna No. l. The larger part
of medical practice is among women,
consequently there is danger that wo-
men may prefer to be treated by their
own sex. As the Register declares men
to be ''selfsh, they can be forgiven for
turning their backs upon female aspi-
rants. All, however, do not. Some of
the most enlightened doctors of my &C
quaintance are ever ready to lend assist
ance to struggling female medical col
leges. One with whom recently trav
eled was more than generous in his es-
innate of woman's capacity for medi-
cine, and a we'll known physician of New
York has recently given the strongest
possible evidence of his sentiments by
becoming engaged to young American
woman doctor, who, not able to pursue
his career in her own country, studied
abroad and took an honorable degree
in Paris. Physicians are slandered
when it is claimed that, as body, they
are opposed to women as ''rivals."

Petroleum.

The petroleum kings of Pennsylva-
MIA propose to dispense with the assist
ance of railways in getting their oil to
market by running a pipe direct from
Titusville to Philadelphia, distance of
260 miles, through which the oil may
flow like the aqueduct water of city.
The plan is considered entirely practi-
cable by engineers, and the cost is esti-
mated at between four and five millions.
1t is proposed to lay cast-iron six inch
pipe, in a bee line between the points
above named, which at one locality of
its route will be 5000 feet above the sea
level forty miles of pipe will be
allowed for undulation, so that the tube
will, from end to end, measure fully
800 miles. It's contents will be 81, 900
barrels of oil, and it is asserted that
there will be no more difficulty in in
surfing a flow through the bore than
there now is in the water mains of Lon
don or Chicago, both of which systems
aggregate 800 miles in length. Between
Titusville and the summit, distance of
40 miles, eight pumping stations will be
established, so as to relieve undue
strain on the pipe. Each pump will
have to raise the oil 800 feet. Water
by the Holly plan of piston-pumps is
elevated to this hight and the friction
of eight miles (the space between sta
tions), is overcome at the rate of a
million gallons per "a hours, which is
equivalent to $4,000 barrels Of oil, fluid
measure

Gail Hamilton on the Patriarchs.

Gail Hamilton says the only perfect
gentleman mentioned in the Book of
Genesis was Joseph. Adam had dOmin-
ion over the earth, but he attempted to
shield himself from the Divine dis
pleasure by laying the blame on his
wife, which no gentleman would ever
do. Noah was a Just man, and perfect
in his generation-if you do not mind
an occasional fit of drunkenness. Abra-
ham was a fine old sheikh, truly heroic
figure, brave, generous, courteous, hos
pitable, magnamimoUs. But Abraham
had his weakness, and fell before his
temptations and Isaac followed in his
footsteps. OF Jacob, perhaps the least
said the better, though he maintained
his position as head of his family with
unrelenting vigor, calling no man mas
ter, either son or king. Joseph alone
rises out of that vast, far world clearly
outlined. distinctly seen, simple, saint
~, strong. But, if I am ever on speak
ing terms with Joseph, mean to ask
him why it was that during his twenty
odd years of prison and palace life he
never communicated with his father.
His brothers deserved no better, but the
poor old gentleman was blameless.

Oakley Hall on Love and Marriage.

Oakley Hall thus describes love and
marriage in his lecture on love, marri-
age and divorce: True love purifes the
heart, emancipates it from the slavery
of passions, and makes man and woman
strong, noble and courageous. A man
falls in love just as he falls down stairs.
1t might be an accident, probably it was,
or it might be misfortune which lasted
all through life. How inexpensive was
that phrase ''paying attention." as If
that did not belong more to marriage
than to courtship, and the phrase was
not infrequently heard in former years,
which was immortalized by Mrs. Pod
snap, "Bless me, they have gone on
their bridal tour to become acquainted
with each other" If it were possible to
have preliminary bridal tour, under
proper escort, and the young couple
had experience of the annoyances nee
esaarily entailed by trip of that char
acter, and if they were familiar with the
tempers and dispositions of each other,
the wonder would be, not that there
are so few happy marriages under the
arrangements of modern society, but
that there were so many. Marriage was
not partnership. he did not wish to
be understood as saying that alone, for
it was cold word. Marriage was a
companionship. Driving home from the
business cares, as Disraeli used, they
would find that the old individuality
was gone, that a new companion
ship existed and as the best illustra-
ton of the idea of marriage, he would
go back to the time of Lord William
Russell, who was represented at his trial
by his wife, and of all the pictures which
hung in the historic temple, there was
none so attractive and beautiful as the
picture of Lady Russellin companionship
with her husband, not only in the court
room, but in the prison, and in bis last
And, if they asked for a
definition of true marriage, it was
in the word companionship. |

ANTIQUITY OF MAN.
Five Hundred Thousand Years at Least
-SpecniRtiOns of MIR. Alfred Russell
Wallace,

Five Hundred Thousand Years at Least
-SpeculRtiOns of MIR. Alfred Russell
Wallace.
In the issue of Nature for Oct 2,
Alfred Russell Wallace INDUCES in some
speculations on the probable antiquity
of the human species, which may well
startle even those who have long since
come to the conclusion that 5000 years
carry us but small way back to the
original homo. In fact, in Mr.. Wal
lace's reckoning, 5000 years are as
day. He begins by complaining of the
timidity of the scientific men when
treating of this subject, and points out
the fallacy of always preferring the
lowest estimate, in order to be con the
safe side" He declares that all the
evidence tends to show that the safe
side is probably with the large figures.
He reviews the various attempts to de-
termine the antiquity of human remains
or works of art, and finds the bronze
age in Europe to have been pretty
accurately fixed at 3, 900 to 1000 years
ago, the stone age of the Swiss lake
dwellings at 5000 to 1000 years "and
an indefinite anterior period" The
burnt brick found sixty feet deep in the
Nile alluvium indicates an antiquity of
10000 years; ano her fragment at
seventy-two feet gives 10000 years.
GA human skeleton found at depth of
sixteen feet below four buried forests,
superpOsed upon each other, has been
calculated by DIR. Dowler to have an
antiquity of $4,000 years" But all
these estimates pale before those which
Kent's cavern at Torquay legitimates
Here the drip of the stalagmite is the
chief factor of our computations, Civ
ing us an upper floor which "divides
the relics of the last two or three thou
sand years from a deposit full of the
bones of extinct mamalia, many of
which, like the reindeer, mammoth and
glutton, indicate an arctic climate. "
Names cut into this stalagmite more
than 200 years ago are still legible; in
other words, where the stalagmite is
twelve feet thick, and the drip still very
copious, not more than hundredth of
foot has been deposited in two cen
turies-a rate of five feet in 100, 900
years. Below this, however, we have
thick, much older, and more crystalline
Ii. e., more slowly formed) stalagmite,
beneath which again, /" in solid brec-
cha, very different from the cave of
earth, undoubted works of art have
been found" Mr.. Wallace assumes
only 100, 900 years for the upper floor,
and about 250,0 900 for the lower, ana
adds $50, 900 for the intermediate cave
earth, by which he arrives at the "sum
of half a million as representing the
years that have probably elapsed since
fints of human workmanship were bu-
ried in the lowest deposits of Kent's
ao--o.,,

Uhurning Whole Milk.

We had an inquiry last week relating
to the freezing of milk, asking whether
a cold temperature sometimes reaching
the freezing point decreased the quanti-
, ty of cream, which question was answer
ed in the affirmative, In our column of
"Questions and Answers" Our CORES
pondent, and others who cannot pre-
serve an uniform temperature for the
milk without keeping it in contact with
the air in the living room, may make
first class butter by churning the whole
milk, without skimming, or at least
skimming only so far as to furnish cream
for domestic uses.
The plan to be pursued when the
whole milk is to be churned, is to save
the milkings until enough is gathered
for churning, allowing what cream will
rise to do so. Then pour the cream
and milk together into a suitable vessel,
set it where it will become sour and
thick, avoiding all stirring or shaking,
so as not to break the film ON top, and
thus allowing air to enter the mass,
which would cause rapid fermentation.
The proper degree of acidity may be
known by the film or skin becoming
thick and uneven over the contents of
the vessel in which it is placed +; deep,
large jar may be used. When the prop
er degree of sourness has come, churn
Immediately, having the temperate e of
"a degs., which is somewhat higher
than that necessary for the proper churn-
ing of cream. Churn steadily and at
an even stroke, until the butter is form
ed, and then proceed with the sailing
and working as in ordinary cases. This
plan will enable you to keep your jar
where there is fire. Where facilities
for raising the cream are not good, and
where only few cows are kept, this
way is both easy and economical.
In Holland, where much whole milk
is churned, the milk is repeatedly stir
red to prevent the cream from rising,
which causes the mass to thicken rapid
ly. The proper degree of sourness is
determined by its being thick enough
to hold a spoon upright. If it docs not
adhere to bone or ivory knife, it is
right for churning.
In Brittany, on the other hand, the
mornings milk is poured directly into
the churn, to which is added the pre-
ceeding evenings milk. The whole is
then allowed to stand several hours.
when it is churned and worked. Both
of these methods are said to give excel
lent butter It is a well-known fact
that both Holland and Brittany diaries
are noted for the superior quality of
their butter.
1t is claimed that given quality of
milk, churned whole, will give five per
cent. more of butter than where the
cream is allowed to rise. Butter of the
most superior quality can be made from
whole milk Cummings, and the whole
process is simple and easy. 1t is prin-
cipally question of laboring in churn-
ing so large a mass. This, however, is
not onerous where but few COWS are
kept. The butter is also gilt-edged
when fresh, and keeps equally well
with that made from cream Western
