both repulsive and injurious. This prefer
ence for white over yellow or brown, or any
other color, is not based upon the truth of
existing facts, else it would be inferred
that q white statue is preferable to
bronze. The fact is the elevation of
white bread into the highest place
of preference is altogether unfounded
and unwarrantable. The white color comes
from starch; and the whittier the bread, the
more starch it contains, and, of course, the
less nutrition, as starch has only carbon, by.
drogen, and oxygen to make tissue, which
should contain fifteen elements. Tue white
ness of -four is, in fact, an outward sign of
the starvation and death within. Indeed the
the present universal use of white -four is one
of the most remarkable facts in the history of
civilization-remarkable because it is the only
impoverished food upon the diet-list. Over
boiled meats and vegetables are the only ap-
proach to impoverished food; people know
enough not to eat them. But that they should
love to eat white -four, is certainly very re-
markable indeed, and almost an evidence Of q
fallen nature, ss there is nothing like it in
the whole history Of eating.
XII What is wanted is q wholesome, health
full, nourishing wheatfood-a whole-wheat
-four in the fullest and broadest sense of the
demonstrating every one of the fifteen

which is the most favorable to digestion and
assimilation. It is q common practice, to q
large extent, to grind the finest and soundest
wheat into fine -four, and the poorest into
what is called "Graham Fl our." This term,
"Graham -four" ought no longer to be used ;
it is kind of general name given to mixtures
of bran and poor and often spoilt flour, to a
large extent unfit for human food. We must
have thoroughly-pure, sweet and nutritious
whole-wheat -four, made from the choicest
and ripest wheat, (wholly bran, or cortical
portion, and alp reduced to uniform f ae-
ness of quality, and well put up for family
use and whoever will give his earnest and
honest efforts to furnishing such -four. and
keep its manufacture up to this high standard
all the time, will confer a lasting benefit upon
his race and -neration, and find remuner-
alive market for all he can produce. The
brown loaf is to our eye as handsome as the
white, and in it we secure all the most impor-
tant nutritive principles which the Creator,
for wise reasons, has stored up in wheat.

INSTINCT OF ANTs.-A writer in Hard,oicke's
Science Gossip communicates the interesting
fact that the ants inhabiting his garden have
in several instances constructed nests in an
edging of Tarf box that is about nine inches
architects carried soil up into the bushes in
suffic quantities to build their abodes In
one of these they had been so long domiciled
that the process of rearing their young was
well under way. 1t was surmised by the
writer that the uncommonly wet weather pre-
vailing the past season had induced the sa-
gacious insects to build their nests well above
ground.

Earthquakes.

10 The Ed.t0r Of the S'Tr:
Having read several publications In refe =
ence 10 the recent shock OF the earthquake,
which was felt in our city on the 22d instant.
one OF which asserting Ii was the first occur
renee OF that nature in Our city, send the
iollowlng. taken from my carefully COM
piled incidents i'm the History OF Washing
ton," in order 10 correct the false impress
sions created by said statements:
On the 18th day or December, 1871. two
shocks Of an earthquake were felt in Wash
1ngton. between the hours Of and O'Clock
a. m. The undGlations OF each shock con-
tnued for nearly twenty seconds and had
force enough TO shake the furniture in
houses and move doors upon their hinges:
and, IN some instances, clocks were stopped
by having their penduiums thrown out of
their regular course OF vib ration.
ON the sd day of January, 1912, at 20 min
utes past O'Clock a. m. a shock OF an earth
quake was felt in Washington by most OF the
inhabitants II was more violent in some
parts OF the city than i'm others; while some
were seriously alarmed; Others scarcely per
ceived II. Cups, and other table ware, were
heard 10 rattle, and pictures hanging on the
walls were seen 10 vibTate. It's continuance
was about twenty seconds. The sensations
caused by ii were fainting, sickness of stom-
ach, vertl go, &c. the oscillations were from
Eorth To south. II was felt as far as Charles
ton, $. c, and on the Ohio river. The shocks
at Charleston and Washington were nearly
simultaneous; whilst on the Ohio the shock
was felt dTl hOlu' earlier,
On the Sth Of February, 1912, about { o'clock
felt in Washington. Numbers OF persons
were awakened from their sleep and much
alarmed In one instance, portion OF a cell
ing was shaken down by il. It's continuance
was thought to be some thirty seconds.
Between the hOurs OF 10 and II O'Clock a. m.
on the Sth day OF March, ISIS, a slight shock
of an earthquake was felt in Washington.
The same shock was perceptibly felt as far
south as Richmond, Va, and north as far az
Philadelphia, Pa. :.
About 20 minutes past 10 o'clock a. m. on
the oth day of February, 1915, a slight shock
OF an earthquake was experienced in Wash
iugton city aud vicinity.
About o'clock p. m. on the 29lh day OF
April, 1852, tremulOus vibratory motion
similar TO shock OF an earthquake, was
distinctly felt by large number of persons
In different portions of Washington. The
shock was OF such decided character that
many persons involUntarily left their dwell
lngs for the streets. The degree OF intensity
OF Tue shock was prOportiOnate TO the eleva-
tlOn from the ground; those in the upper
stories feeling it more SenSibly than those
below.
