sown through or wound round game, to
flavor and enrich it; and for that reason
the custom of larding-a great resource
for the culinary artist-has pretty much
gone out of fashion in American cook
cry. While, then, an exclusively slop or
otfal diet increases tissue, but decreases
stearine, and therefore makes the product
soft, spongy and oily, an exclusively
corn diet decreases tissue to the extent that
such meat cooks almost entirely away, and
in hot climates softens so as TO be compar-
ativelv worthless. The true way seems
to be to feed corn principally, but to in
crease the albuminous ration to the extent
that there will be a considerable addition
of muscle and cellular tissue, and conse-
quently more strength and greater power
of resistance to disease in the creature.
Another illustration and have done. The
suct of CRASHED and fatted beef, when
made into candles, will not run or melt
when used as such, even in the summer
climate of Kentucky: but the suet of corn
fed cattle must be hardened by the addi.
ton Of beeswax or treated with solution
of alum in order to be made to answer the
same purpose. These facts, taken togeth-
er, seem to show that in some senses Ma
ture is more plastic in our hands than we
have imagined her to be, and in some
much more stubborn-stubborn in the
sense that the starch and sugar foods, or
the carbonace0us ones, can never nc made
to fill the places of albuminous ones, and
rice oersa;; but 50 easily managed in other
senses that, if we want eggs, milk, suet,
fat or muscle in extra quantity or of par
tiCular kind, we have but to use and feed
the right kind of food to procure them

Mrs. FitCh's Diamonds.

THE revenue authorities are puzzled IL
know what to do with the Khedive o
Egypts famous gift to Gen. Sherman's
daughter. The diamonds are locked VI
in the big vault in the Sub-Treasury
They were placed there in June last, and
unless they are taken away before next
June they win be classified as unclaimed
goods and sold by auction to pay the du
ties and storage If this should happen
the money, after the deduction of the of.
fetal charges, would be paid to DrexeI,
Morgan Il Co., in whose name the dia-
rnonds are consigned. The trouble is
that Congress in authorizing Lieut. Fitch
TO receive the present to his wife, neg
lected to relieve him from the payment
Of the duties, The necklace and car
rings which compose the gift were first
said to be worth $3.50, 900, but the experts
have since appraised them at s75, 900
The duty on this amount would be about
$4,000 Gen. Sherman feels that he is
TOO poor TO pay this, and he is unwiII.
ing TO appeal to Congress for an exemp-
ton of the payment of the duties. Neither
the Secretary of the Treasury, the Col
lector, nor any of his Deputies are dis
posed TO exercise their power of granting
a free permit for the diamonds, and the
Turkish Ambassador, who has the official
prcrogative Of receiving them in his
name, will not ask for their release be-
cause the Khedive is only recognized by
his Government as Il vassal.-N. J. ISpn,
