more than our climate, the cause of con-
sumption in New England. Plenty of
fat, properly eaten, plenty of wooden
clothing, and enough out door exercise,
would Danish consumption from all our
rural districts. And pork fat is the
healthiest of all the animal fats Except
cream and butter because it becomes
fluid at a low temperature-much lower
than that of mutton or beef-and is
therefore more easily emulsionised, or
digested, by the intestinal fluids to which
that duty is assigned.
We are not advocating the use of dis
eased pork. We believe that too many
hogs are kept in way that makes the
meat unfit to be eaten. But the same is
true of cattle, sheep and poultry Swine
should be fed with clean food from clean
troughs- should have access to running
water, and have clean, dry and warm
sleeping quarters They should not be
over-fed, especially in warm weather,
and the meat should not be injured by
over-salting, over-smoking or tainting.
Observe these points and snap your fin
gers at the diet quacks. ". Chronicle.

A Man Boiled TO Death.

AT an early hour in the morning the fire.
man in brewery in Jersey City, N. j.,
built large fire under one of the large
tanks which is used for boiling water.
A short time afterward he returned to
the tank-having been attending to some
other duty in the meantime-and was
surprised at hearing splash of water
as if some heavy body had fallen into it.
Then he heard a groan as of human
being in agony. He Immediately turn
ed the faucet to draw off the water and
hastily raked out the fire. Some of the
men of the brewery then mounted the
ladder by which access to the tank is
gained and looking over the edge saw
a man lying at the bottom. Ropes were
promptly procured and the man hoisted
out, but it was found that life was ex-
tinct. His features were so much dis
figured that it was next to impossible to
recognize him, but from his clothing he
is supposed to be man named Muell,
painter, who resided in Washington vii
lage, and who was in the habit of visit
ing the brewery occasionally. How he
got into the tank is mystery, unless, as
some of the workmen suppose, he climb
ed to the top to look in for the purpose
of gratifying his curiosity. That he
made desperate attempt to get out is
evident from the fact of the fireman
hearing the splash in the water. The
tank is nearly ten feet high, and perfect
ly smooth on the inside. The county
physician examined the body and ex-
pressed the opinion that the man was
steamed to death

Is Pork Unwholesome i?

Some thirty years ago, New England
was all agog with new isms that claimed
to be based upon science. The chief
among these were Phrenology and Ora
hamism, of neither of which is much
now left, except an occasional humorous
reference to bumps" in the one case,
and name for unbolted flour in the 9TH
er.
Sylvester Graham, dyspeptic as thin
as a rail, went about the land declaiming
against meat diet, and praising bran
bread as specific for all ills. He de-
nounced pork, especially, as the cause of
scrofula and consumption, yet died out
of the last, in spite of his vegetarianism,
Yet this notion about pork still pre-
walls, and probably will prevail, as a
popular superstition, long after this gen

say that Jews suffer from scrofuIa and
die Of consumption, though they have
eaten no pork since the days of Moses.
1t is no use to point to both negroes and
whites in the South and West, bred up
on hog and hominy, yet suffering far less
from scrofulous and tuberculous disease
than the mincing" Yankees. 1t is no
use to compare families, and show the
unhealthy condition of those that study
every quackish publication upon diet,
and regulate themselves accordingly,
alongside of others that take no heed of
anything but having enough to eat, "and
that which is good" with plenty of out
door exercise and fresh air, and who are
plump, vigorous and rosy. The theory
will remain bigger than all opposing
facts with those who are once brought to
believe in the specious talks of the diet
quacks.
There has never been particle of sci
entiic evidence that pork is any more
unwholesome than any other article of
diet. There is some proof that fat meat
is somewhat harder of digestion than
that which is both lean and tender. But
pork is not so hard to digest, with most
people, as many vegetables beans and
cabbage particularly. 1t is such a sweet
and tender meat that people are often
tempted to over-eat of it, and over-eating
is injurious.
