We would not place too much conf
dence in the statement that fish makes
brains" There is no doubt but that
fish food is a most important article of
diet. 1t contains a large proportion of
Phosphorous, which makes it especially
fitted Tor the use of those who perform
much brain work, or who are the victims
of much anxiety and distress, but it ia
necessary that We should have proper
variety of flesh food and vegetables.
Those nations who depend entirely upon
fish: are found to be ill-nourished, and
not at all robust. The flesh of the red
blooded salmon is very nutritious, as is
also the roe of most fish. The opinions
of people differ, but it is probably better
that fish should be eaten as soon after
capture as possible, and we wish that
the custom practiced in parts of Europe
might become adopted in our markets,
of having tank in which the fish are
kept alive until they are desired for the
table.

A SINGULAR remedy for indigestion
recommended by an English magazine is
chewing different kinds of green leaves
when out of doors and swallowing the
juice. Any leaves not nauseous OF poi
sonous are recommended. The benefit
is derived partly from the increased flow
of the salivary fluid, and partly from the
tonic and stimulating action of the leaf
chewed. Before meals is a better time
to try the remedy than after. The
writer gives list of the leaves most
likely to be beneficial. among them being
those of pine, spruce or black thorn trees,
surrant and rose bushes, mint, the petals
Of flowers, and the stalks of mountain
daisies, and the tender portions of the
stalks of grain or grasses.

IT is rule of the Chinese Six Com
panies Of San Francisco that no China
man shall open a wash-house within a
certain distance of one already estab-
lished. A Chinaman infracted the rule,
and was ordered to close his shop. he
refused. Next he received q formal
notice that he must move and pay fine
of $40. Still he disobeyed. Soon he
was missing. After long search by
white friends he was found chained in q
cellar, where he had been left to starve.
He was released only to disappear again,
and it is supposed that, by order Of the
secret tribunal, he has been murdered.
The San Francisco Chronicle vouches for
the truth of the story, and adds that
many such could be told.

Conquests, Ancient and Modern.

It must be remembered that the mod.
ern conquerer is, in two respects, worse
of than his Roman predecessor; the an
cient conqueror could impose tribute,
which the comparative mildness of mod
ern notions will scarcely tolerate; and it
was once worth while to conquer poor
and savage races for the sake of obtain
ing slaves, which the civilization of
modern Europe no longer endures. Thus
it appears that the principal motives
which spurred men on to war in former
times no longer exist, and that if it is the
duty of statesmen to act solely for the
happiness of the people they govern, it
is equally their interest to avoid wars
from which the mildners of modern
manners prevents them from winning
even the miserable advantages that war,
if successful, could once afford. But the
case against war is still stronger when we
consider that we have already obained,
without shedding drop of blood, all
and more than all that the most success.
full war could possibly give US. We won
Canada by series of bloody battles, but
Australia We obtained without any bat
ties at all. We sought in the most impe-
rial way to make our colonies in North
America our tributaries, and they sepa-
rated from us, after INJECTING upon us
defeat and humiliation unknown to us
before. We supposed that We had lost
a great and irreplacable dominion, but
We found that for all useful purposes we
had lost nothing by the separation; for
all pacific uses the United States were
still ct our service. So long as vacant
lands in temperate ATTITUDES exist on the
earth we have at our disposal, without
shedding . drop of blood, all that the
most successful war can give Us. Just
as We have discovered that any amount
of territory may be acquired without
war, 90 We have discovered and clearly
proved that wealth beyond the dreams
of avarice may be acquired without
plumber. The way to grow rich is not to
plumber and ruin other people, but to as
sist them in becoming rich themselves
