Bayard Taylor IN New York Times,
The country people are content with
a diet which most American farmers
would despise. They have four neces-
saries in life, the supply Of which is al
ways first considered-bread, maccoroni,
oil and wine. The ordinary bread is
coarse and rather dark, but decidedly
more nutritious than that made from
our finely bolted American flour. We
imagine that bread is good in proper
ton us it is white, and thus lose much
of its bestproperty, The Italians some
times cook maccaroni in salt and water,
from necessity; but, whenever possible,
in meat broth, with the addition of cheese
and tomatoes. The olive oil, which each
farmer makes for himself, is far better
and wholesomer than lard IN fact, it is
almost equalto fresh butter, Whatever
is fried in it is sweet, palatable and di-
gested. A great many Americans
knowing olive oil as medicine, shudder
when they hear it spoken of as an arti-
Gle of food. Yeti have often seen them
in Italy, heartily relishing their chops,
and omelettes, and fried fish, without
the least suspicion of the fact that much
of the flavor was due to the oil, Wine
is universal article of consumption OF
man, woman or child. Yet thereis very
little intemperance among the people
certainly not more than one-tenth of
what we find in our country, Wine,
onions and oil, to great extent, supply
the place OF meat but eggs and fish are
also plentiful, and usually cheap. The
flesh of pigs and goats-the raising OF
both being little expense to even the
smallest land owners-is much more
common than veal or beef. Old
and disabled horses are fattened and
slaughtered, and many an unconscious
visitor to Rome, Naples or Florence
takes his share of roasted horse in the
restaurants. After little experience
learned to distinguish the flesh, and
having no prejudice against it, l fre-
quently ordered it for dinner. 1t has q
ooarser grain than beef and slightly
palsr colorj the flavor Is similar, but

A Cheap ifnot safe Way OF Attaining
ENhilarntiOu

"An increase of blood in the brain,
said DR.. VIM. A. Hammond in lecture
at Cooper Institute recently, "has been
found to accompany mental action. A
congested condition of the brain often
gives rise to hallucinations. A recum-
bent position will often bring these on,
and they will disappear when the per-
son sits or stands up. Doubtless many
ghosts have been seen in this way.
Hanging causes certain degree of con-
gestion of the brain. l don't suppose
any ofy you have ever been hanged, but
is the testimony of those who have been
cut down that they experienced very ex-
alted condition of mind, this is also true
of drowning. Standing on the head pro-
duces q similar condition. An English
writer of some note says fine land
scape can be viewed to better advantage
by stopping down and looking back be-
tween the legs. A circus tumbler once
told me that standing on the head was
almost equivalent to taking glass of
champagne. Impeding the blood in
its return from the brain sometimes
produces hallucinations. 1 once had a
patient who said that when his cravat
was tight he saw an apparition of Sir
Walter Raleigh. This never deceived
his intellect. Who can say how many
of the phenomena of Spiritualism and
ghosts arise in this way, where the per
sons are not sufficiently intelligent to
rise above the delusion?"

THE EASTERN VAR.
The Situation In Europe.

Since our last review of the condition
of affairs in Europe, there has been less real
change than fer the previous week. The
arrival Of the British fleet in the sea Of
Marmora and the expressed determination
of the Russians to occupy Constantinople
caused the gravest fears for the future, but
later intelligence is to the effect that both
Austria and Germany made representations
to Russia which caused statement to be
issued that the contemplated occupation OF
the Turkish capital was abandoned. 1t was
also stated that all the powers had agreed
upon congress to meet at Baden Baden
in few weeks, Inthe meantime the british
feet withdrew some forty miles from Con-
stantinople. But notwithstanding the later
developments, the situation is extremely
critical. Unless Russia Is prepared to make
some concessions, or Is to be guided by
moderate counsels, the position of the fleet
at Gallpoll and Constantinople is the first
step toward war. Not because there Is i'm
mediate danger OF collision, but because
the two governments stand face to face,
policy, and each determined on taking ad-
vantage OF every incidentand circumstance
that can be turned in its favor. Russia has
fought to the end bloody war, and has
planted herself firmly at Constantinople tc
forward Russian interests and to open the
straits leading from the Black Sea to the
Mediterranean, She is apparently deter
mined In this course, and will take the risl
OF another war rather than make conces
sion. England is apparently as determined
on an opposite course; is determined tha
existing regulations as to the strait
shall remain in force. Russia with
veteran army In the field and on tn
ground Of conflict, stands ready to enforce
her demands. England, with her grea
navy ready for action, takes position
against the protest Of Turkey, to suPpor
her demands. Russia Is ready to close tn
Bosphorus, at one end Of the Sea Of Mar
mora, and England stands ready to clos
the Dardanelles at the other end. The pre-
liminary steps on each side are to hav
great influence in deciding the main ques
ton, and become OF great Importance, q
their ramiacations extend in such way a

PRO-RdT TIE,
The Question Opened at Washington.

The question opened at washington.
The House Committee on Pacific
railroads has commenced the consideration
of the bill requiring the Union Pacific rail-
road and its branches to "pro-rate" or to
operate as one continuous line without dis
elimination. The bill is known as the
"Chaffee Bill" and Is of vast interest to the
West. and especially to that portion OF
country interested by the Kansas Pacific
and its connections Large meetings have
been held by Omaha and Council Bluffs,
which rival cities are for the first time hand
in hand in interest. Kansas City has also
held public meetings and some Of her best
citizens have been cent to washington
with large delegations from Denver and st.
Louis to argue the interests of their re-
spective localities in favor of the Kansas
Pacific. AT the first meeting of the House
committe the different railroads Interested
were represented by counsel and officers
of companies, and delegation of leading
business men representing the commercial
interest of st. Louis. The case Of the Kan
sas Pacific was opened by Artemus H..
Holmes, OF New York. who charged that In
practical operations Of the U. p. railroad,
all the trans continental traffic was thrown
over its own line from the Missouri river at
Omaha, to Ogden. It's point of connection
with the Central Pacific. and now the
branches were Lentirely excluded from all
participation therein. He argued that the
time had now arrived In the econtestbetween
the public and the government on tho one
hand.and the railroad companies, who were
the creatures Of their creator and the re-
cipients OF their muniflcent bonnties, on
the other, when it must be determined

SOmnnmbulistic,

George Peckham, of this city, aged
about sixty, has been for some years a
victim of somnambulism, and his adven-
lures, often dangerous, while in that
state, have frequently been the subject
of newspaper paragraphes. Last spring,
before the snow was off, and when the
roads were in fearfully frozen and
rough condition for footmen, he arose
in the night and walked to the village
of Fulton, twelve miles, only awakening
after he had wandered around that place
some time. Within few months he
woke early in the morning and found
himself in Minotto, four miles from
home.
Last night Mr.. Peckham went to bed at
the usual hour. During his sleep he
dreamed he was on the cars goingto Cali
fornia to see his son, and was abruptly
awakened by jar of the train, where
upon he found himself in fact standing
On the platform of car at the Midland
Depot at 7 :15 this morning. He was
on the express train for New York, and
had been aroused by the jar when
the locomotive backed down and
coupled on. He don't know of his own
knowledge how he came there, when he
left his bed or where else he may have
been during the night. In ten minutes
he would have been on his way to New
York, without any provision for thejour-
ney and no ticket of course, the conduc-
tor would have aroused him, and there
would have been scene which would
have ended in putting Peckham off and
leaving him by the wayside. As soon as
he realized his condition he got off the
car and betook himself to his house
grateful for his safe escape from one
more somnambulistic adventure.

The term "Porte," which is used to
denote the administrative Government
of the Ottoman Empire, and includes
the Sultan, Grand Vizier, and the great
council of State, had its origin in this
way; In the famous institutes estab-
ished by the warrior Sultan, Mahomed
H., the Turkish body polite was de-
scribed by the metaphor of stately
tent whose dome rested upon four pill
lars. "The viziers formed the first pill
lar; the judges the second; the treasu-
rers the third; and the secretaries the
fourth" The chief seat of government
was fguratively named "The Lofty Gate
of the Royal Tent" in. allusion to the
practice of earlier times when the Otto
man rulers sat at the tent door to ad-
minister justice. The italian transla-
ton of this name was "La Porto Sub
lima The phrase was modified in
English to "The Sublime Porte" and
finally the adjective has been dropped
leaving it simply "The Porte"

Hosiery ought to be cheap very soon.
A Swede in Rockford, Illinois, has in
vented a patented machine which knits
stockings in one piece at the rate Of
about one minute. Twelve of these
machines can lie operated by one boy at

cost of knitting is thus reduced to sixty
stockings for one cent. Just think Of

production of stockings.
