As this is the season for drinking cider
and eating nuts, it may not be amiss to
give a hint which may be usefnl. Medi-
cal men advise that salt should be taken
with nuts, especially when they are eaten
at night. One time, says writer, while
enjoying q visit from an Englishman,
hickory nuts were served in the even
ing, when my English friend called for
salt, stating that he knew of case of a
woman eating heartily Of nuts in the
evening who was taken violently ill.
The celebrated DR.. Alternately was sent

fond Of his cup, and he was not in con.
dition to go. He muttered, Salt saltF'
of which no notice was taken. Next
morning he went to the place and she
was corpse. He said if they had
given her salt it would have relieved her;
If they would allow him to make an ex
animation ~ would convince them. On
opening the stomach the nuts were found
in a mass. He sprinkled salt on this

Eggs for FOOD.
From the Poultry Review,l

From the Poultry Review,I
Would it not be wise to substitute more
eggs for meat in our daily diet2 About
one-third of the weight of an egg is solid
nutriment There are no bones and
tough pieces that have to be laid aside.
A good egg is made up of ten parts
she'll, sixty parts white, and thirty parts
yolk. The white of an egg contains
eighty.six per cent. water; the yolk nifty
two per cent. The average weight OF an
egg is about two ounces Practically,
an egg is animal food, and yet there is
none of the disagreeable work of the
butcher necessary TO obtain it. Eggs
are best when cooked four minutes.
This takes away the animal taste that is
80 offensive to some, but does not harden
the white or yolk as to make them bard
to digest. An egg, if cooked very hard,
is difficult of digestion, except by those
with stout stomachs; such eggs should be
beaten with bread and masticated very
finely. An excellent sandwich can be
made with eggs and brown bread. An
egg spread on toast is food fit for king,
il kings deserve any better food than
anybody else, which is doubtful. Fried
eggs are less wholesome than boiled ones.
An egg dropped irto hot water is not only
a clean and handsome, but delicate
morsel Most people spoil the taste Of
their eggs by adding pepper and salt, a
little sweet butter is the best dressing.
Eggs contain much phosphorus, which is
supposed to be useful to those who use
their brains much.

Romance of German Medical
school.
From the Cincinnati Commercial
A few years ago an American lady
while studying medicine abroad, having
been refused admittance to course OF
medical lectures in one of the most
noted Universities in Germany, deter
mined to put on male costume and pass
herself off for young man. One day
an American Consul was summoned to
a hotel TO see a lady from the United
States. AS there was no reception room
in the hotel, he was shown up to the room
indicated in the note he had received by
the servant. He looked in vain for the
lady, but saw what he supposed was
young man sitting on a trunk. de was
soon undeceived. The "boy" said be
was simply in disguise, and set forth at
length the reasons for such extraordinary
conduct. She said she was resolved to
attend that course of lectures, and had
called in the Consul te give her real
name and place of residence in the
United States, so that in case of trouble
she could appeal to him for protection.
The position of the Consul was a novel
one, but he finally consented to take the
lady's statement, and promised to keep
the secret inviolate, unless she should be
discovered. This did not happen. The
Disguise answered its purpose; the lady
remained at the institution year, passed
through the course with honor, and is,
doubtless, now applying the knowledge
gained in her practice somewhere in the
United States. We suppress all names
of persons and places for obvious rea.
sons but give the fact in illustration Of
the indomitable perseverance, of women
ambitious of a professional career in
pursuit of knowledge under difficulties.

From the Pittsburg Gazette, December A4'I

ceremony took place in connection with
the morning services at st. Peters
Episcopal church. The rector, Rev. DIR.
Spalding, officiated and opened the ser
vices in the usual way, when, in accord
ance with previous arrangement, Miss
Katie Baker, member Of the Opera
House company, presented herself be-
fore the baptismsl font, indicating her
desire for the administration OF the r;te
of baptism. She was accompanied by
Mr.. Edwin Price and Miss Miles, also oil
the Opera House company, who acted as
witnesses in accordance with the ritual
Of the church. The regular baptlsmal
service was then gone through with by
the rector, and Miss Baker was bap-
tised By sprinkling, as the custom OF the
church is. After the prayer which fol-
lowed Miss Baker, with her attendant
friends, took q seat in the audience and
remained for the sermon. There were
number CT Miss Bakers friends present,
including her Opera House associates,

4 TRUE BILL.

One of the Tribune's recent inttict.
ments against the Administration 70,
its treason to the best interests of the
Republican party runs thus:
I. The violation of law in abetting
an audacious conspiracy by which the
State of Louisiana was given over to q
band Of knavcs who had plunderetl tho
public treasury and had been defeated
in n popular election;
,. Tho systematic debauching Of tho
politics OF several Southern States, BY
which they have been rendered bank.
rupt, and the very idea of Legislative
government made odious and contempt
ible;
3. The creation and support of ;
! combination for plumber in the Dis
trict of Columbia which has loaded tho
city of Washington with an intolera
bic load OF debt, enriched II cabal O
politicians, and discredited the capital
4. The steady, persistent, and shame
less persecution of the merchants OF
this metropolis by an army of spies
and eNtortiOners, assisted by United
States officers, who divide with thieves
and informers tho price of their degra-
dation;
5. The recent unhcard-of conspiracy
between the Treasury Department and
and obscure politicians, by which the
latter was enabled to steal out of tho
public revenue some hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, and the officers of the
Government were ordered to assist
him in these dcprelations;
&. n management of the National
finances so made UP of dishonesty, in
competency, and gross carelcssness that
nothing like it has ever been seen in
history, touching one day the criminal
and the next the burlcsquc, vibrating
between the idiot asylum and the PEN
itentiary;
Z. a contcmptuous disregard of tho
solemn pledges Of the conventions of
the party, in reference to rctrenchmcnt,
honesty in disbursements, and the re-
form of the civil service;
s. And finally an open and cynical
interference with popular elections in
every State where tho Republican
party is divided, in favor Of the corrupt
and immoral element, and in bitter
hostility to those who stand by the an
cicnt ways and desire to give to their
States Il capable, honest and reputable

That there is II strong tendency in

Hardly week passes that some pronl-

fit to commune with members of other
churches in general reunion meeting

that thirty Baptist clcrgymcn and n
large number of laymen have formed
