At the British Association, in the Sec
tinn of Biologj, Professor Redtrrn, in the
Course OF a paper ct valuable character
ON thu, to,sd of plants and animals, went
on to point out thai there were few s.,-
cial problems more important than how
to acquaint the wife of the laborer or ar-
tisian, or even til wives and servants of
the middle classes, how to expend fair
share of their Income upon food to the
greatest advantage, and how to prepare
it without destroying lis nutritivc prop
critics. A savory dish Of meat was often
prepared by mincing or cutting the meat
into. small and more or IS 'cuhical
blocks. It.was then stcwtd. or more
frequently boiled; the outer surface of
each little block had its albumcn firmly
coagulated, and the whole was converted
int, about as indiges,ible a mass as could
we'll be imagined, the high-priceG and
highly nutritious meat having been de.
strOyed for the purpose of nutrition, and
ably injured for some time to come. Or
good and valuable aesl, meat was sub
jected to the process Of sailing, which
first of all abstractcd the juices "f meat,
and then hardened the fibres, so as to de-
stroy or greatly deteri"rate its digesti-
bility. No doubt it was convenient to
have a hardened dry mass Of meat inca
pable of much change for mouths, and
the stomach and effectually satisfy wing
the appetite; hut these were not the pur-
poses for which food was intended to be
used. 1t ought to he capable of supply
