OATMEAL AS FOOD.

The value of oat meal as an article of
food is given in the following analysis made
of it, as compared with wheat, the usual
food of man: A sample of potato oats from
Northumberland, England, gave in 100
parts, of starch, $3.50; gum, 2.2s; oil, 7.sS;
avenin, albumen, gluten (nitrogenous COM
pounds), 29.91; epidermis, or skin, 22s;
alkaline salts and loss, 1.75. Again, the
proportion of nitrogeDous and proteine,
fesh-forming compounds, in oats has been
determined to be, nitrogen, 2.82; proteine
compounds, 17.71. In wheat the analysis,
according to Gregory, shows as follows:
Albumen, 80; gluten, 90; starch, 55.7;
gum dextrine, pectine, and sugar, 4.6; fiber
and husk, 11.9, leaving 1890 for water and
loss. Thus it will be seen that oats are
richer than wheat in starch and the nitro
genous compounds, the first being fat-form-
ing and the latter flesh-forming constitu-
ents. Again, analysis made by Liebig and
Hassel shows that barley contains IA, corn
12ia, and oats 90 per cent. of the nutritive

probably safe to say that if our farmers used
more oatmeal in their food there would be
an increase of health, strength, and mental
vigor. AS food it sits lightly on the stom-
ach, is exceedingly digestible, seldom sours
on the stomach, and is therefore, one of the
most excellent articles of food that can be
given to growing up children. Eaten as
porridge with milk, it forms a substantial
and highly nutritious diet, both for old and
young. To persons who do brain work it is
especially valuable, and in our cities those
restaurants who serve oatmeal porridge are
sure to be found out and patronized by that
class of citizens who take their lunch down
town. One of the reasons why oats have
not been more generally manufactured into
meal in the United States is that our dry
climate is not adapted to forming large,
plump grains. Nevertheless the New Eng
land States, Central and Northern Michi-
gan, and Wisconsin produce excellent oats
for mealing, though not so good as Canadian
samples. Oats grown in far northern local
tiles are much the finest, and this explains
why Scotch oatmeal ranks so high, even
ahead of Irish oatmeal.

HOG CHOLERA.

A correspondent of an exchange says
that there is no known remedy for the dis
ease known as hog cholera or anthrax fever
"a blood disease, akin to that known as
splenic fever in cattle-but prevention. 1t
is doubtless greatly consequent upon the
practice of feeding hogs upon the refuse of
cattle fed in the fields upon corn. There
may be many reasons why this should en-
gender serious diseases. Smut, which is
common in corn, is poisonous, and when
eaten by cattle may be voided in their dung
without having fatally affected them. But
when the droppings are searched over by
the hogs for the undigested corn they con-
tain, some of the smut, rendered more ac-
tually poisonous by its passage through the
bowels of the stock, will be eaten by them,
and occasion this fatal disorder. In the
same way, diseased condition of the stock
may be communicated to the hogs, although
it may not be fatal to the former. There is
no more certain method of communicating
diseases of the blood, such as cholera and
typhoid disorders, than by means of the
excavations of infected animals. Hog chol-
era is unknown at the East and it is very
certain that the system of management of
hogs common at the West, is productive of
much of it. AS this seems to be present
necessity of Western agriculture, the incon-
sentence must be borne as well as may be-
The proper treatment, to be taken upon the
occurrence of the first symptoms, which are
dullness, loss of appetite, and disposition
to hide away and sleep,is to administer four
ounces of Epson salts with four drains of
sulphur and two drains of ginger in half
pint of warm water, sweetened literally
with molasses The food should be changed
at once, and cruel of oat OF barley must
be given. Two drains of sulphite (not sui
phate) of soda should te given, dissolved
in the feed, every evening for week, and
then one dram of sulphate of iron (copperas)
in the same way for another week. When
the diarrhea begins, the case may be con-
sidered hopeless.

A LOST TAIL.-A few evenings ago, a
certain young gentleman went to spend an
evening with his affianced. During the
evening he told few stories and called
them tales. The lady reproved him, and
told him he should say anecdotes" After
short time he got up and went to see to
his horse. When he returned, she asked
him how his horse was getting along. 'Oh,
he said, he's all right, only the calves have
chawed off his anecdote.' WALLACE.

THE UNWRITTEN SIDE OF GREAT MEN.

We always think of great men as in the
act of performing deeds which give them
renown, or else in stately repose, grand, 81
lent, and majestic. And yet this is hardly
fair, because the most gracious and magni-
ficent of human beings have to bother them
selves with the little things of life which en-
gage the attention of US smaller people. No
doubt Moses snarled and got angry when he
had severe cold in his head, and if a f1v
bit his leg while he was in the Desert, why
should we suppose he did not jump and use
violent language and rub the sore place?
And Casar-isn't it tolerable certain he
used to become furious, when he went up
stairs to get his slippers in the dark and
found that Calphurnia hak showed them un-
der the bed so that he had to sweep around
them wildly with broom-handIe And
when Solomon cracked his crazy bone, is it
unreasonable to suppose that he ran around
the room, and felt as if he wanted to cry?
Imagine George Washington sitting on the
edge of the bed and putting on clean
shirt, and growing at Martha because the
buttons were off; or st. Augustine with an
apron around his neck having his hair cut;
or oan of Arc holding her front hair in
her mouth, as women do, while she fixed up
her back hair; Napoleon Jumping out of
bed in frenzy to chase mosquito around
the room with pillow; or Martin Luther
in night shirt. trying to put the baby to
sleep at two O clock in the morning; or Alex
ander the Great with the hiccoughs; or
Thomas Jefferson getting suddenly over a
fence to avoid a dog; or the Duke of Well
ington with the mumps; or Daniel Webster
abnsing his wife because she hadn't tucked
the covers at the foot of the bed; Or Benja-
min franklin pairing his corns with razor;
or Jonathan Edwards, at the dinner table,
wanting to sneeze just as he got his mouth
full of hot beef; or Noah standing at his
window at night throwing bricks at cat.

A little three year-old woke up the other

window, innocently remarked: 81 should

NDECAYED SERVING MEN"

Grant is providing sumptuously for
the congressman elected to stay at
home, who did his dirty work in con-
gress for him. Eleven eX-members and
one senator have been given offices.
The mere fact that these fellows have
been repudiated by the people is as
good reason us the president desires
for an exhibition of his usual obstinacy
and fragrant disregard of the wishes
OF the people. 1t is not enough that
these congressman should have been
repu,liated and ignored. IT seems the
surest passport to executive favor is
that their constituents should have ig-
nored them.
This new policy of saddling the
country with all the broken down
party hacks is one of the very things
that Is making the republican party
fall to pieces Of its own decomposition.
The claims of ex-members of congress
amount to nothing. They have already
received more than their merits called
for. Hereafter the spectacle of crowd
OF congressman walking out of the
capital into the various departments,
should not be tolerated, and such a
policy cannot but prove fatal
to any administration practicing
1t. Office once tasted produces thirst
like dram-drinking, and u political sot
who has been imbibing government
pap for years can no more stop short
than an old bloat can forego his daily
potations, so after term in congress
he tapers off on foreign appointment
or department place. Life in Wash
ington units a man ever after for any
successful prosecution of any legitimate
professional or business operation. The
habits of idleness and ease engendered.
the little effort required to draw money,
all tend to enervate men and render
them thriftless and improvident. The
Office holders about Washington fancy
themselves a privileged class, an aris
tocracy, not to be contaminated by as
ISOLATION with ordinary citizens and
business people. They effect TO dis
pise people Tin trade,n aud ape the ex-
elusiveness of the foreign representa-
~
tives.fheie, to whom, by the way, they
are generally a source of contempt and
ridicule. Grant has thrown each of
his dogs a bone to keep them from
starvation, and while they muncI,
them, the people are quietly making
up their minds that this sort of thing
must stop, aud that their kicking of
anlan out Of Office must he ain cud of
him publicly.
