EAyIGATIoE.-W We recently published
an article briefly setting forth the advan-
tages that would result to the people in
the opening Of the Sacramento river up
to the mouth of Middle creek, n point
nearly opposite TO Shasta. Acting on a
petition requesting a Government appro-
priation towards accomplishing this OBJ
ject, Congressman Luttrell has introduced
a bill into Congress appropriptng the
sum OF ten thousand dollars for a "survey
for the improvement of the Sacramento
river between Tehama and the mouth Of
Spring creek" 1t is to be hoped that the
appropriation will be made and that the
waters of our noble river will be utilized
in the interest of trade and commerce, to
the great benefit of our county in particu-
lar and the State in general. SHASTA

USE OF ToBAcco.--Tobacco belongs 10
the class Of narcotic and exciting substan-
ces, aud has no food value. Stimulation
means distracted, not added force. 1t in
wolves The narcotic paralysis of portion
of the functions, the activity Of which is
essential to healthy life. 1t will be said
that tobacco tooths and cheers the weary
toier, aud solaces .he over.worked brain.
Such may be its momentary effects, but
the sequel conuot be Ignored. All such
expedients are fallacious. When a GER.
tain amount of brain>work or hand-work
has been performed, nature must have
space to recupcrate, and all devices for
escaping FROM this necessity will fail. 1t
is a bad policy to set the houses on fire
to warm our hands by the blaze Let
it, then. be clearly understood that the
temporary excitement produced by tobac.
co is gained by the destruction Of vital
force. and that it contains absolutly noth>
ing which can be Of use to the tissues OF
the body. Tobacco adds no potential
strength to the human frame. 1t may
spur weary brain or feeble arm to un-
due exertion for short time. but its
work is destructive, not constructive. 1t
cannot add one molecule to the plasm out
of which our bodies are daily built up.
On the contrary, it exerts upon it most
deleterious influence. 1t does not supply
but diminisbes, vital force. 1t has been
deuied that tobacco leads to organic dis.

VALUE or FISH roJD .-Many elaborate
comparisons have been made as to the
comparative lood.yalues Of butcher. meat
and fish, and occasional controversies
have arisen on tho subject, in which the
utmost diversity al opinion has been ex-
pressed. Some economic writers say that
fish has no food value worth speaking Of;
Others say that 6sh.iood must occupy q
middle position between vegetables, and
beet and mutton. Again learned All.
thoritY says that tish we'll cooked with
oil or fat OF Sone kind OF served with
butter when brought TO the table, "is
chemically the same as butcher meat, 80
far as nutrition is concerned.' Another
writer Gays that fish as food is only bit for
children and invalids, and is totally unfit.
tod to support the health and vigor of
men or women engaged in laSorioas occu.
pations As usual 10 such disputes, we
may hold that the truth lies between the
two extremes. Many people follow labo-
rloss occupations, especially in Scotland,
live largely upon fish. In that country,
the fishermen themselves eat "a consider.
able portion, and as class, fishermen are
strong and healthy. aud the wives who
help their husbands are still stronger and
healthier. In Portugal, fish fried in oil
forms large proportion of the food Of
the population tits diet is supplemented
by little broad aud fruit. aud although
