MILK AS DIET AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE
SYsTEM.-There is a considerable difference
of opinion on the subject of milk diet. 1t
is surrounded with mass of whims, or pre-
iudices and of mistaken ideas, which are
based more on individual fancies than upon
certain fact. To one glass of milk imbibed is
believed to be sure provocation of bill
lious attack, to another, a disordered stomach,
to third, drowsiness, and so on, through
such category Of simple, though disagreea-
BILE ailments that we look aghast at the farm
er who drains cup after cup Of the fresh, pure
liquid, time and again during the day, and
wonder at the resisting powers which his or
ganization must possess. The truth is, how
ever, that milk is not unwholesome. On the
contrary, it contains good substantial bone,
muscle, flesh, and brain producing substances,
which, assimilating quickly, act rapidly in
building up the body. Naturally, We assert,
it is nourisbing; that it does bring on certain
troubles is nevertheless true, but the cause is
in the individual stomach, not in the milk,
provided, of course, the latter be fresh and
sweet. The Commercial Advertiser of recent
date had some excellent remarks on this SUBJ
ject, which are well worthy of repetition.
milk diluted with one.third lime water," it is
said, twill not cause any one biliousness or
headache, and, if taken regularly, will so
strengthen the stomach as to Danish these dis
orders. 1t may be taken with acid of some
kind when it does not easily digest. The idea
that milk must not be eaten with pickles is
not an intelligent one, as milk curdles in the
stomach nearly as soon as it is swallowed.
When milk is constipating, as it is frequently
found to be, by persons who drink freely of it
in the country, in the summer time, little
salt sprinkled in each glassful will prevent
the difficulty. When it has an opposite effect,
few drops Of brandy in each goblet of milk
will obviate its purgative effect AS milk is
so essential to the health of our bodies, it is
we'll to consider when to take it, and how. 1t
is mistake to drink milk between meals, or
with food at the table. In the former case it
will destroy the Appetite and in the latter it
is never proper to drink anything. After fin:
ishing each meal a goblet of pure milk should
be drank and if any one wishes to grow
feshy, pint taken before retiring at night
will soon cover the scrawniest bones. In
cases of fever and summer complaint, milk is
now given with excellent results. The idea
that milk is tfeverish' has exploded, and it is
now the physicians great reliancein bringing
through typhoid patients, or those in too low
state to be nourished by solid food"

RAsp1NG HORSES FEET.-A sensible black
smith talks, in the Canada Farmer, about the
habit of rasping the hoofs of horses in the
following emphatic manner, and it will be
we'll for horse owners to give his views candid
consideration:
Rasping down the feet nicely, as they call
it, is quite passion with some people. I
have often rasped the hoof, and the owner of
the horse standing by to tell when it would
suit him. This rasping On a hoof that hap.
pens to be little ill,shaped, until it will
spring under your finger, is far too dangerous
a plan for making things look well. I have
often commenced on hoofs that had beauti.
full gloss all over, and given them thorough
rasping; not that I could make them any
better, for that was beyond the power of hu-
man hands but they had to be rasped mere.
" because the owners mind was slave to
fashion or fancy. The rasping takes the
strong surface off the hoof, and Nature, try
ing all she can to make up for the evil done
by ipjudicious hands, forms a hard glossy
surface to protect the foot This glossy sur
face takes the place of the previous tough
horn; and at the next shoeing the foot will
probably split little at the nails and not un-
frequently the nail punches piece out be-
fore it.

CHARAcTER.-We may judge mans char
acter by what he loves-what pleases him. If
person manifests delight in low, sordid OBJ
jects, the vulgar song and debasing language,
in the misfortunes of his fellows or animals,
We may at once determine the complexion of
his character. On the contrary, if he loves
purity, truth, modesty-if virtuous pursuits
engage his heart and draw out his affections
we are satisfied that he is an upright man.
When we see young man fond Of fine clothes
and making fop of himself, it is sure sign
that he thinks the world consists of outside
show and ostentation, and he is certain to
make an unstable man, without true affection
or friendship, fond of change and excitement,
and wearying of those objects and pursuits,
which, for time, give him pleasure.

EXCITEMENT AND SHORT L1FE.-Thed dead
liest foe to mans longevity is an unnatural
and unreasonable excitement. Every man is
born with certain stock of vitality, which
cannot be increased, but which may be ex-
pended or husbanded rapidly, as he deems
best. Within certain limits he has his choice,
to move fast or slow, to live abstemiously or
intensely, to draw his little amount Of life
over large space, or condense it into mar
row one; but when his stock is exhausted he
has no more. He who lives abstemiously,
who avoids all stimulants, takes light exercise,
never overtasks himself, indulges no exhaust
ing passions, feeds his heart and mind on no
exciting material, has no debilitating pleasure,
lets nothing rufle his temper, keeps bis "ac.
counts with God and man duly squared up"
is sure, barring accident, to spin out his life
to the longest limit which it is possible to at
tain; while he who intensely feeds on high
seasoned food, whether material or mental,
fatigues his body or brain by hard labor, ex'
poses himself to infammatory disease, seeks
continual excitement, gives loose rein to his
passion, frets at every trouble, and enjoys
little repose, is burning the candle at both
ends, and is sure to shorten his days.

MODERN JERUsALEM.-The city of Jeru-
salem fills such large space in the magma
ton on account of the surprisingly wonderful
events of which it has been the theatre, that
its insignificant size and population at the
present time strike one with sort of surprise
and incredulity. We learn from a recent
paragraph in the academy that the popula-
ton is only that of small English town,
namely $4,000, of whom 5000 are Mohamme-
dams, 5000 Jews, and the rest Christians.
Considering that large number fChristians,
especially in this country, believe that the
Jews will ultimately return to the Promised
Land and considering that the Jews them
selves, at any rate nominally, maintain the
same conviction, it is singular that nothing
practicable has hitherto been attempted to-
ward the fnrtherance of this object. In pro-
portion to the numbers the Hebrew commu-
nifty scatter over the world are unrivalled in
wealth and in energy, while the Turkish EN-
pire is feeble and always in want of money.
Why should not the Jews make bid for
their ancient dominions? Palestine cannot
be worth much to the Moslem, whereas if the
Jews were established there with full liberty
to do as he pleased, he might, judging from
his business capacity in London, New York
and Melbourne, restore the country within a
few years to such state Of prosperity as it
has not enjoyed since the days of the Herods
If such demand were made, with reasona-
BILE conditions attached, the great European
powers would probably support the claim.
But perhaps the modern Jews dc not want to
go to Judea? Perhaps the old fable of the
sun and the wind is verified in their case
When the blasts of insult and persecution
blew keenly, the Jew wrapped himself in his
cloak of national exclusveness, and as he sat
by the waters of Babylon thought Of and
wept over his native Zion; but now, when the
genial sun of liberation shines forth, the pros.
porous Hebrew inclines to reverse Lord Den
bigh's formula by saying, "A Jew, if you
please, but an Englishman first of l."-Lon-
don Graphic.

ANECDOTE OF ALEXANDER HAMILTON
Hamilton was once applied to for professional
assistance by man of New York city, who
held the guardianship of several orphan chill
dren. These children, then very young,
would, on coming of age, if they had their
rights, succeed to the possession of large and
valuable estate. In the title deeds of this
estate the guardian had discovered material
defects, and he thought he saw way, with
the assistance of an able lawyer, by which he
could secure the title Of the whole property
to himself. He opened to Hamilton the
whole business, exhibiting copies of the title
deeds, and explaining how he would like to
proceed. And he promised to the great Jurlst
q large reward if he would undertake the
business. Hamilton said he must give to a
matter so important due thought before he
decided. and set g. time for his client to calf
again.
The guardian called according to appoint.
ment Hamilton had put in writing faithful
minutes of their former conversation, which,
upon his second visit he read aloud.
II think" said Hamilton, when he had fin-
ished reading, "that that is true statement
Of your plans?"
"Yes, sir" answered the client. "That is
correct. And now, if may ask, what have
you decidedly"
II will tell you, SIR" replied Hamilton,
sternly; "you are now completely in my pow
er, and consider myself as the future guar
dian of those unfortunate orphans. l have
decided that you will settle with them honor
ably, to the very last penny, or l will hunt
you from the surface Of the earth J"
1t may be unnecessary to add that the
false.hearted guardian did not pursue his ne
farious scheme any further.
The BUSINESS OF JoURNAL1sM.-ln COM
menting upon the failure of newspaper man.
ager, the St. Louis Globe tells a plain truth
in the following words:
"The business of journalism will continue
to be an inviting field for experiment to those
who have q large amount of money and
large amount of egotism. A man who, hav-
ing edited newspaper until he was forty,
should suddenly announce himself lawyer,
would be regarded as fool by the legal pro.
fession and yet we often hear of lawyers of
forty making sudden pretensions to journal
ism. There is an idea that the business Of
editing requires no apprenticeship; that edit
ors come forth from law Offices and colleges
fully armed for the profession, like Pallas
from the brow of Jove. 1t is a mistake.
There is not in America to-day single jour-
nalist of national reputation who has not de-
voted more time and more hard work to his
profession than, with equal fitness and appli-
cation, would have made him great lawyer
or a good doctor. And yet ninety out of
every hundred men you meet on the streets
will hesitate about earring a bod or making
a pair of shoes, whereas there will probably
not be one in the hundred who cannot, &C.
cording to his own judgment, edit any news
paper in the country better than it is edited,
no matter in what manner or by whom"

LAUGHTER AS A MEDICINE.-A short time
ago, the Sanitarian reports that two indivdu-
ais were lying in one room very sick, one with
brain fever and another with an aggravated
attack of mumps. They we're so low that
watchers were needed every night, and it was
thought doubtful if the one sick of fever
could recover. A gentleman was engaged to
watch over night, his duty being to wake the
nurse whenever it became necessary to admin
lister medicine. In the course of the night
both watcher and nurse fell asleep The man
with the mumps lay watching the clock, and
saw that it was time to give the fevered
man his potion. He was unable to speak
aloud, or to move any portion of his body ex-
cept his arms; but seizing pillow he man
aged to strike the watcher in the face with it.
Thus suddenly awakened, the watcher sprang
from his seat, falling to the floor, and ava
kened both the nurse and the fever patient.
The incident struck the sick men as very rid
icuous, and they laughed heartily at it for
fifteen or twenty minutes When the doctor
came in the morning, he found his patients
vastly improved, and said he never knew so
sudden turn for the better. Now both are
up and we'll. Who says laughter is not the
best of medicines? And this reminds the
writer of another case. A gentlemen was
suffering from an liberation in the throat,
which at length became so swollen that his
life was despaired Of His household came to
his bedside to bid him farewell. Each indi-
vidual shook hands with the dying man, and
then went away weeping Last of all came
a pet ape, and, shaking the mans hand, went
away also with its hands over its eyes. 1t
was so ludcrous sight that the potent was
forced to laugh, and laughed SO heartily that
the abscess broke, and his life was saved.
