REMARKS ON EATING,


REMARKS ON EATING.
Professor Blot used to say ii is fac!
beyond all question that the intellectual
and moral faculties of man are lnfiu-
enced in large degree in their opera
tions by those physical conditions
which are dependment upon our food
Physiology proves that it is the contrac-
tion of muscles that produces wrinkles;
and person whose food is properly
prepared appears younger and more
beautiful than one who follows no scien-
tifc principals in bis eating. Good
food. properly preparl, will keep the
muscles in order and elastic. Any one,
male or female, young Or old, starting
with a good stomach, can keep healthy
and in good flesh with proper food;
it is only necessary to select the kind re-
ouired by the constitution, and prepare
it iud;ciously. 1t is not what we eat
that makes us fat, but what we digest.
Bad food may bring temporary bloat.
edness, but not the plumpness OF good
health. He agreed with the opinions
expressed by Thomas Jefferson, as
well as by celebrated New York cler-
gyman, that good things have been
made by the Creator for good people.
Another thing in food--it ought al
ways to be prepared according to the
age of the person for whom it is intend
ed, and for the sex, as we'll as accord
ing to the climate and the season. In
winter more fatty matter is necessary
to be eaten than any other time of the
year. In spring, green's, which puri-
fY the blood and remove the bile occa-
stoned by eating the fatty substances in
the winter. In winter we need more
bile; in the spring we must get rid OF it
if we would be healthy. When warm
or hot weather comes, we must supply
the wasted system by eating meat.
Meat is better in summer than anything
else. 1t is great mistake to suppose
that vegetables are the best for this sea-
son of the year. He recommends roast
beef for summer. Skim off the fat
before brought to the table.
The DoRGIAs OF OUR KITCHENS. oh,
woman! heavens last, best gift to the
kitchen, must you and your daughters
still continue to marshal families to
the saleratus way to dyspepsia? Can
you never learn that the clear, glowing
beds of coal, whereupon st. Lawrence
himself would have deemed it luxury
to be broiled, better benefit the lordly
steak unmacerated with the brutal pes
tie, uncontaminated with factory lard,
and will sooner WOO it to turn to pale
pink, delicate amber and tender brown
with sensitive elevation at the cor
ners, forming central chalice for the
reception and preservation of its juices)
than the frying pan, accursed of God
and abhored Of men? Know you not
that by thinly slicing potatoes mot left
over from yesterdays MONDAY dinner
into cold water, wiping the same dry
in towel, busting them with pepper
and salt, frying them in boiling lard,
and as soon as they put on the rich
golden brown of II Cuban belle, reinov-
ing and draining them, you can com.
pass that which at Saratoga, has brought
fame and fortune to the artistic restau-
ranteur? Is it not in you to pour boil
ing water Oh your coffee, and set the
pot over shovelful full of embers il
the hearth box, where it will just sim
mer and not boil? Can your finer fe'
male sense apprehend the difference
between tanning a snokeless fire with 6
generous slice of bread till the surface
of the latter turns deligately golden
then brushing the same with fresh but
ter, and burning bread on the top of &
dirty stove, then swabbing it in melted
rancid oleomargarine? Alas if expert
ence can be relied on, we fear not
Priscilla is joined to her frying pan; le
her alone.-Ihe World.
KEEPING THE TEETH WHIrE.-Fol
keeping the teeth white there is moth
ing better than fine coal ashes. Take
a fine sieve and sift what you want
throw away the Goals, and what remains
will be nearly as fine as flour. Nov
wet your brush, dip it in the ashes ant
use. Of course it feels very gritty tx
the mouth; so also does what the den
lists cleanse with; but it will not cos
you one dollar, which is the dentists
fee-generally half an hours work. L
leaves the teeth perfectly white and
sweet. Use every every week or two.
