BREAD vs.. MEAT. Experiments
made abroad to test the effect of al
exclusive bread diet prove that q
bread diet alone is very expensive,
as ii large quantity must be given
to supply the daily waste OF the
tlpshy tissues. On the other hand,
the addition Of a small quantity Of
meat reduces the cost of support
and keeps up the strength of the
body. The attempt was made to
ascertain which of the several kinds
OF bread in ordinary use was alb
sorbcd in the greatest amount i'll
its passage through the alimentary
canal. 1t was found that wheat
bread was absorbed in the greatest
amount, then leavened rye bread,
then rye bread raised by chemical
processes, and lastly, the ''pumper-
nickel" or German black bread.
The great nutritious value attrib-
uted to bran is denied by the ex
perimenter.

a daily Journal, referring to the
ovcrcrowded and pestilential condi-
ton Of the Iombs prison, says /:
"Neariy double the number of pris-
oncrs that it was originally built to
accommodate are now confined with
in its walls" And what is thus af-
Grmcd OF the Tombs is said also to
be true of a large number Of pris-
ons in this State. 1t is not too
much to assume that at least three
fourths Of these prisoners have be-
como such through the agency OF
strong drink. Thus is exhibited
the "success7 of the license system
here, while in several counties in
prohibition Maine the prisons are
without single occupant, and the
iails of the large cities have many
vacant cells. The lesson is obvious.

TURKEY. The Turkish Govern
ment has, since 1856, contracted an
enormous foreign debt, which sad
dies the tax payer with u yearly
payment of Gl5, 100000 in the shape
of interest. There is small pros
pect of this ever being cleared off,
as the whole revenue amounts but
to SlS, 100000, Of which the Sultan
takes two for his Civil List. Mean
while, the productive forces of the
Empire have not been developed
by productive outlay. There are
no roads, and the miserable inhabi.

morning he wanted to top off, but
the query was, how to get the liquor.

trust. Casting his eyes round, he
spied his wite's pocket Bible, which

he begged for one glass, and insist

he, "whcn you wont take either my

carried the Bible home, signed the

Of the city We're in favor, very stongly,
of Roscoe Conklin. But of late very
strong feeling is showing itself for Bris-
tow the Secretary of the Treasury. Bris-
tow is making a host of friends by his Wig
orous prosecution of the whiskey swind-
lers, and every conviction that is procur-
ed sweeps him so much closer to the Pres
identiai chair. If he is the level-headed
man that his friends say he is, he stands
very close to the head. 1t would be very
grateful to the staunch Republicans of
Kentucky to have one of their number so
honored, and as the Secretary is showing
his fitness to rule over few things, it is
not improbable that he may be called to
rule over many.
