Oatmeal as an Article of Diet.

1t is surprising how enormously the con-
sumption of oatmeal has increased in our
cities within the past few years; but we sus-
pect that its merits as cheap and highly
nutritious food are not so generally appre-
ciated in the country. Every one knows
how oatmeal is eaten in Scotland; and in
some parts of England 1t is equally popular as
an article of diet. A correspondent OF an
English exchange says: SIN West Cumber-
land, Westmoreland, and North Lancashire.
especially in the rural parts, not only among
the laboring classes, bat also in the fami-
lies of tradesmen and the well-to-do, the
children of most of them have porridge at least
once day. For the past forty years l have
made my breakfast of a pint OF oatmeal por-
ridge, with very rare exceptions, and nothing
else, fasting for four hours afterwards. ii,
however, take any other form of breakfast,
find myself very hungary before the next
had my porridge. feel assured that if the
iaborers of the southern counties, with their
children, would but take basin of oatmeal
and milk porridge night aud morning, with
such other food as they can procure in the
interval, we should have much stronger aud
healthier race of men and women than now
exist. A few years ago had a DeVonshire
girl living with me as servant. The girl
was willing enough to work, but had not the
stamina to perform 1t. This l found on
questioning her, arose from the deficient and
ill-advised diet on which she had been reared.
She shortly began to take her porridge night
and morning, and this with daily midday
meal of meat, enabled her to perform her
duties with ease.-ErchGnge.

THE SOUTHERN BOND scHEME.
MORE ABOUT THE PROPOSED NEW sYnD1cArl
N. Y. Times, Oct. 60.

The proposed rev syndicate, which was
mentioned in yesterdays Times, the purpose of
which is to buy up the defaulted bonds of the
Southern and, it Is limited, some of the West
ern States, and then to cue for their value, was
first su ggeeted, it ia now understood by Mr.
John McKinnon. Besides this gentleman and
ex-seoretary McCulloch, Drexel, Morgan &
Co. and L. Won Hoffman & Co, the First Ms
tional Bank, Mr. Francis G. French and Wins
low, Lanier 81 Co. are ssid 10 he Interested in
the scheme. Some of the representatives Of
the firms interested have no hesitation in talk
ing about the matter. They admit that the
object of the syndicate is to make money, and
that it is not be philantbropic scheme. A
very large amount of the repudIsted bonds are
said to be held by the gentlemen who are try
ing to incorporate the association. In regard
to the incorporation, it is said that all the legal
steps necessary to that have not yet been taken.
The syndicate proposes to interest itself In
State bonds to the amount of about $2Oo, 600 O0O
and in county, city and town debts to the
amount of more than $500. 600, 600. 1t will be
State Legislatures before the work be
begun, and "the Funding Association Of the
United States /" has been formed to secure this
legislation Some of the repudiated bonds
were bought by their present owners at II per
cent of their face vsIne. In order to secure
the payment of the interest on these bonds by
the Statee, cities and counties, bill has been
prepared to be presented to the Legislatures of
Alabama, Arkansas, FIorlds. North Caroline,
South Carolina. Louisiana Mississippi, Texas,
and some other States. This bill, If 1T becomes
law, will compel States, counties and cities
to keep their promises. The syndicate will
offer to fund ali bonds bearing interest at the
rate of 8 and 10 per cent nt and per cent.
The bill will provide that the Auditor of each
State shall annually levy q tax upon the assess-
ed property of the State, county, city or town
ship, distinct from all other taxes. and to be
used only to pay the interest OF these bonds.
Provisions made in the bill to cover any
difficulty arising in the collection of this tax.
An unsuccessful attempt was made four years
ago in London to establish similsr association
to the one now proposed.
This is O "big job" and will bear strict
watching.

In an editorial in it's issue of last Saturday,
the st. Louis Wdtchmdn pays the following
tribute to the great Archbishop Kenriok:
"Where in the whole Catholic world is the

from perusal of the works Of the great
Kenrickf There is not Catholic institution
in Europe, Asia, Africa or America where the
name of Francis Patrick Kenrick 10 not men

of modern theologians, Felje, never quotes him

There is very common prejudice
against the toad. BY many he is looked
on with loathing and disgust. He is re-
garded as an ugly, uncouth, and worth
less nuisance, that should be abated at
sight. But this prejudice is ill-iounded
and unjust, as the toad is net only harm
less, but quite useful to farmers and gar
deners. They should, therefore, be re-
garded as friends, instead of being treated
as enemies. The eggs OF the toad are
usually laid in water, but at times. when
this Is not accessible. they are laid in
damp, dark places, and in such cases they
do not pass through the tadpole state.
While in the tadpole state they live on
vegetable food, but as toads they live on
insects, spiders. etc. They are exceed
ingly well adapted to catching insects,
having tongue of marvellous construc-
ton. 1t is quite long and may be pro-
Jected six or eight inches, the tip of it be-
ing so directed as to ust reach the object,
and being covered with Il viscid, gummy
substance, that causes the insect to adhere
to 1t. and 1t Is thus conveyed to the mouth
OF the toad and buried alive. The move
ments of the tongue in thus taking in
fly or bug are SO rapid that they cannot
be followed by the eye. The number OF
insects that toad Will eat is almost in.
credible. A few of them in a garden
will keep it well rid OF bugs, plant-lice.
etc. They generally spend the day in
some dark, secluded spot, often hole un-
der sod or clod or the side of rock,
and in the evening they come out and hop
about in search OF supper OF live insects.
They may be induced 10 take up their res
idence in the garden by continuing them
