Brains VS.. PHOSPHORUS.

a statement popularity attributed to
AgassiZ is constantly reiterated in the
newspapers, to the effect that fish Is par
ticularly adapted to support brain labor,
and for the reason that it contains a
larger proportion of PHOSPHORUS than
other food. In recent number of the
Tribune now before me read as follows:
''1o the third class belong oysters and
fish, Of well understood adaptation to
persons given to brain labor" ;" and
again: ''If we are using our brains or
nerves, we need food containing large
proportions of PHOSPHORUS" and again:
"Of the meats, venison and chicken
contain more PHOSPHORUS than any Of
the Others, having three per cent, while
beef and mutton have only two per
cent, and bacon but one-half per cent.
OF the fishes, salmon is richest in phos-
phorous, as it contains seven per cent. ;
smelt ranks next, having six, then come
lobster aud herring with five; then eel
and trout with four; halibut and white
fish contain three; Goldfish and clam
two, and oysters only one-quarter per
cent
''The richest vegetable in PHOSPHORUS
Is the sweet potato, as three per cent. is
found in il, while round potatoes yield
] RaI OhNf aun OlllOlcf doDdlakusf
cabbage only one-half per cent. OF
! fruits, prunes and figs contain three per
cent, of PHOSPHORUS; apples and cher
ries one; currants one-third, and pears
none"
Where is the proof of such remarka-
bic statements? For years / have been
endeavoring to keep up with the prog
ress of agricultural and physiological
chemistry, and there must be some oc-
cult source of science to which the ordi-
nary student cannot get access, or in nv
opinion the whole of the above quota
tions is-boshi
With your permission, will chal-
lenge those who knoY how to feed
brains to disprove the following propo-
sitions, one or all:
First-There is no evidence sufficient
to demonstrate that fish is better brain
food than flesh, fowl, or grains.
Second-There is no evidence that
fish contains more PHOSPHORUS than
flesh, fowl, or grains.
Third-There is no proof that if fish
did contain more PHOSPHORUS than
other food it would sustain brain labor
or restore brain waste any better on that
account.
Fourth-There is no food that contains
so much as one-half per cent. Of phos-
phorous except bones and rat-paste.-lS

MI CREED.
BY ALICE CARY.

Tbold that Christian grace abounds
Where Charity Is seem that Nheh
We climb 10 Heaven, tits on the rounds
or love 10 men,
hold all else named piety
A selfish scheme-a vain pretense;
Where center is not, can there be
Circumference
This moreover hold, and dare
Affirm where'er my rhyme may 90:
Whatever Things be sweet or fair,
Love makes them so.
Whether IL be the lullables
That charm 10 rest the nesting bird,
Or that sweet confidence of signs,
And bushes without word.
Whether the dazzling and the flush
or LOFTY, sumptuous garden bowers,
Or by some cabin door, or bush
OF ragged flowers
'Tis not the whole phylactery,
Nor stubborn fast, nor stated prayers,
That makes us saints; we judge the tree
BY what IL bears.
And when man can live apart
From work, on theologic trust,
! know the blood about his heart
i dry as dust.

PLANETARY FLIRTATIONs.-The fash
ionable events I'm celestial society for
the ensuing months Of the present year
will be as follows:
The annual eclipse of the sun, visible
in Asia, and partly in Africa and North
ern Europe, will occur on the 10th OF
October. The magnificent Venus will
be at her nearest to our earth on the
night of November 10th. One month
thence, or on the 10th of December, will
occur the great centennial transit of the
beautiful planet across the disc Of the
sun, by elaborate observation of which
the astronomers of the world hope to
establish the exact distance of our world
from the sun. On the mornings of the
l4th and 18th of the same month, too,
Mars and Venus will come within three
minutes of each other, so as to seem in
actual contact.

THE COST or ROYAL HONORs.-rhe
income Of the newly married pair in
England is reported at S200,0O0 a year,
with town and country house in Eng
land, and two also in Russia, a good
slice of which comes from the royal ex-
chequers.
Another favOrite of fortune is General
Wolseley, late commander of the Eng
lish skirmishing party in Ashantee,
who is to be promoted to Major Gener-
alship, in addition to receiving an annual
pension of So, 800, gold value. This
will give him about $3.50 in gold per
week, for life, and all for bravely beat
ing an unorganized horde Of savages.
Should Wolseley live for forty years to
come, his emOluments from the late
campaign will aggregate Sl,700,0O0, not
counting the interest. AS money
doubles every ten years, and as he is to
receive salary and pension as he goes,
should they double only once in forty
years, that would increase the figure to
50, 400, 900.
The expenses of the Ashantee cam
paign are officially announced at s., ,0O0,-
600. Gen. Wolseley's presence at
Ashantee must, therefore, eventually
cost the British Government almost rs
much as all the remainder of the expe-
dition. Placing his emoluments at ST.
10000, and the other expenses of the
expedition at Si,0OO, 900, aud we have a
total of s., 200 200. Gen. Wolseley's paw
will just be 500 per day for every day
except Sunday, and $3.50 for Sunday,
while the pay of the soldier WHIP took
part in the campaign will be about a
shilling a day.

The Use of Wine.

Rev. J. c. Holbrook, DID, recently
settled in Stockton, California, has writ
ten an essay upon the use Of wine, which
should have "a wide circulation. He is
located in great wine-producing State,
where this branch of business is pursued
regardless of its moral effects. The
bearing grape-Yines are estimated at
10000, 900; the yield, $4,000 tons; and
the value, S5,000,0O0. The wine manu-
facture is from five to six millions Of
gallons. One gentlemen, after hearing
DIR. Holbrook's essay, said that he had
known an instance in which a man
went largely into the grape-culture and
the manufacture of wine; but subse-
quently abandoned it, on finding that it
was likely 10 make all his family drunk
ards. Another, of wide observation,
testified that he had known a multitude
OF cases in which wine manufacturers in
that State had become intemperate with
their children. We make the following
extract from the Doctors article:
"And, in the third place, it should be
considered by those who advocate the
common and free use of wine, that IL IS
impossible to cOnfRc men to Il, and er-
clude other and stronger forms Of 0lco-
hOlic drinks, where these last are known.
The use of wine creates a demand for
intoxicants that are more powerful. 1t
is the alcohol in the wine that makes it
desired-tbe narcotic and stimulating
principle. Else why is not the pure,
unfermented juice of the grape used ?
Now, the tendency of using anything
that contains the principle referred to is
to create an appetite for it that becomes
irresistible, and that grows by what il
feeds on and will not finally be content
with anything less than the fiery pota-
ton i'm the more concentrated form of
ardent spirits, if procurable. The use Of
wine-in this country, at least-must
inevitably be stepping-stone to that of
stronger drinks and to intemperance.
Thousands of drunkards have begun
with wine, and in many cases at their
fathers tables. and in the social and
fashionable circle. ."-Er.
