The seasonableness of Food.

A writer in Scribner's says: 1.-The
whOlcsOmeness of food depends nearly
as much on the time it is taken as on
the quantity. We have grown so lux
urious in our physical as we'll as Our
mental tastes, that we are constantly
tempted to eat things out of season.
Yielding to the temptation as we often
do, we pay the penalty, soon or late, in
temporary or chronic arrangement of
health. The most which is excellent in
cold NAV not he desirable IN warm
weather: fish Is best during spring and
early summer: vegetables are nutri-
tious when they are fully ripened by
sun ard season, and not artifcially
stimulated. Nature knows what she Is
doing; she furnishes for every latitude
the production fitted for such latitude.
We need variety not so much at one
time. as from time to time. The deli
cacies of the season Will not hurt MS f.;
Int the delicacies ont of season Will, If
long continued. The appetite so jadsd
as 10 require oysters in July or straw
berries in December needs careful cor
rection by the adoption of the simplest
habits. The palate naturally relishes
what nature has near at hand. As a
rule. not only Is the simplest food the
hest food, but the most seasOnab!e Is,
in the long rur. the most appetjzing.
There IS no difficulty IN determining
VIVA. we should eat, since the products
of our climate show MS plainly month

pIumrness, tenderness and upeness
themselves denote when they are ready

Prohibition in Massachusetts,.

We at length reached the hotel again,
and I proposed a glass of brandy and
water. My friend looked at me and
then at the landlord; and then the
landlord looked at my friend and then
at me. Perplexity overspread the coun-
tenance of both. "Such a thing as a
drop of liquor is not to be had in this
place." said the landlord.
Bought, you mean," retorted my
friend.
Bought, mean," was the answer.
Then both eyed me significantly.
Does anybody give it away p in
quired, greatly puzzled by the mystery
that appeared on both of their counte-
nances.
"Not exactly. You see, the state
constables would be after me in no
time, if sold liquor" explained the
landlord. "Do you want some very
badly ?"
I could not explain how badly I
wanted it, and could only give vent to
my feelings in sigh.
Without a word, the landlord disap-
peared within the recesses of a small
room behind the Office desk, and pres
emily came forth with two empty tum-
blers in his hand. These he placed up
on the desk.
"But where is the liquor ?" 1 in
quired.
"The law forbids me to sell it, he
said, "and / dare not disobey the law.
If you can find any here, you are well
come to it., saying whiih be accidently
turned back the breast of his coat.
The neck of a bottle peeped forth from
the inside pocket. Hewinked his eye at
me, and wInked my eye at him ; after
which I drew forth the bottle. He
family struggled with me to prevent the
daring robbery upon which 1 was bent,
but I proved memorable.
"My private bottle kept for medical
purposes, and not for sale" he moaned,
as he poured out the liquor for myself
and the worthy chairman of the parish
committee. "Have some water, gentle
man ?" he added with alacrity.
We drank, and replaced the bottle
in the repository whence I had taken 1t
Then put dollar in his hands.
"What is this for 2" he asked, as he
deposited it in his waistcoat-pocketa nd
gave me half-dellar in change.
"For bushel of oats" 1 answered
'Keep them till 1 send for them"
( "Ah, sir" said the landlord, with ar
air of virtuous resignation, " the pro
hibitory law has done world of good
in stopping the sale of liquors. It's {
severe loss on us, but it's good law.

Home Sickness.

There are conditions in which home
sickness assumes the form of the disease
known rs nostalgia. Many OppOrtu-
mites for observation nave enabled
patholCgists and other scientific men to
trace the causes and effects of this dis
ease but its seat has been sought for
in vain. Some fatal examinations have
been credited to the disorder, but we
incline to the opinion that it never
killed any one directly, only through
diseases superinduced by the depres-
sion of spirits which is occasioned.
The French medical academy thought
the subject worthy of prize essay,
which, when produced, threw much
useful light upon it. The French,
Swiss and Italians are among the ma
tiOns most subject to the affection, and
that will account for the comparatively
small emigration of those people. The
Germans are less liable to home,sick-
ness while the English are free from
it in the superlative degree-hence the
cosmopolitan character of these people,
and their presence and cOnqUests in ev-
qery uarter of the habitalbe globe. The
disease was very marked among the
French troops during the late war, not
only impairing their efficiency as sol
diers, but actually killing them out
right by the pining for home and famil-
lar scenes. The italian army is hardly
less distinguished by the malady than
the French. The PhrenolOgist would
cut this GOrdian knot with the greatest
ease by referring the whole trouble to
the organ of inhabitiveness. Ma
tions may as reasonably be expected to
differ in this respect as species. If you
change your domicile, your dog goes
along with you, his adhesiveness"
ranking his inhabitiveness ;" but your
cat will stay behind-caring greatly
more for the habitat than for you. APP
plying a varying propensity of this kind
tovarious natiOns-in the same manner as
we are forced to accredit them with facul-
ties which make them variously martial.
aesthetic, intellectual, humane or super
stitious-and The problem is solved at
once the Frenchman has simply lar
ger inhabitiveness and the Briton less
and there's an end ont.

Down South.

Southern towns there are in existence
that are untouched by the hand of to-
day as though they were buried deeper
than Pompeii of old. They are buried
to all modern interests and purposes.
Not a breath of air breathed by live,
active men and women ever reaches
them; not a ripple of the great wave
called progress ever touches their
shores they have few books, and any
thing they see in the newspapers be-
yond the market, the crops and their
side in politics has no meaning for
them Yet they have gentlemen and
gentlewomen in their midst, full of a
quaint, old-fashioned dignity, and sur
rounded by an aroma of good breeding
not unlike in quality to the odor of
dried rose leaves they have a few
young men and girls growing up in
their mothers footsteps, young people
lacking the full measure of what soci-
etv to-day reckon as thoroughbred, as
sured beau or belle; but often their
youths are honest and simple hearted
even at twenty-five, and the girls, why,
they grow up, and bud and blossom in
to a modest, sweet beauty, have their
day of triumph and conquest, and set
tie down to be the wife of some country
squire, and mother of children, whom
they will train to grow up exactly as
they were trained.

Instinct of Turtles.

Audubon, the naturalist, stated that
at a certain place on the coast of Flori-
da, sea-turtles, those huge, stolid-look-
ing reptiles on which aldermen are fed
at the expense of the taxpayers, pos
sess an extraordinary faculty of finding
places. Working their way up out of
the reach of the tide-water with their
fiippers, quite a deep hole is excavated
in which batch of eggs are deposited,
and then carefully covered up. On
reaching the water, they not unfre-
duently swi three hundred miles out
to sea, foraging appropriate food.
When another batch of eggs are develop
ed, after lapse of about fourteen days,
they will return unerringly in direct
line. even in the darkest night, and visit
the buried eggs. Removing the sand,
more are deposited and secured. Away
they go again, as before. They know
instinctively the day and hour when
the young brood, incubated by solar
rays. will break the she'll, and are
promptly on the spot to hberate them
from their prison. As soon as fairly
out of the hole, the mother turtle leads
them down the bank to the waves, and
there end her paternal solicitude and
maternal duties.
