Hygienic Food.

One hears Q great deal. nowadays,
about hygienic food. l should like to
+ how what it really 10, for I do not
think many of the writer's about it have
a very clear idea of it themselves. They
talk of albuminous food" aud food
rich in nitrogen, or gluten; but they
do not tell the average woman, who is
not usually profound chemist. what to
eat and what to avoid. And they talk
a good deal of nonsense, too. One lady,
n constant contributor to en- agricul-
tural paper, who writes continually
about brain ard body food, gave, as an
excellent-and, 1 believe, hygienic"
dish, cabbage boiled in a small guam,
tity of water till soft, and then thick
ened with milk and seasoned to taste.
Shade of departed Hygiea, think of
that As if cabbage boiled were not
encugk--and it is well.known fact
that boiled cabbage is less digestible
than raw-she adds milk to it. do
not object to milk in itself, but the mix
ture is bar barous.
I wish to say word about pies,
though it is well.worn theme. I do
not think they should be banished en-
tirely, for if they are we'll made, and
eaten in moderation, they do no harm.
A German physician told me the Amer
leans do not know how to make or eat
pies, but am not ready to believe that.
For my part Iprefer my fruit az natureI.
Aud think in the summer we can do
almost without pies. A dish of blanc
mango, and one of fruit, stewed or raw,
form delicious dessert.
1t is very we'll to point out pale, nerv-
Gus school. girls, and say that their
paleness and nervousness are the re-
suits Of indigestible food, but these
traits are oftener the results of late
hours and insufficient exercise. If
gls would keep early hours, and take
long walks, we should not hear SO much
about the need of HYGIENE food

AN INANIMATE DHTECTIvE.-Them mi
croscope is an invaluable agent in the
detection of crime. Some years ago, it
was discovered by the authorities of q
railway in Germany that barrel which,
on being dispatched from certain sta
ton, contained silver coin, had, during
the journey to lis destination, been
emptied Of its contents and filed with
sand. For some time no clew to the
perpetrator of the robbery could be
discovered; but at length q learned
professor, having been consulted on the
subject, called in the aid of the micro
scope. The professor went to work on
the right track at once. He, knowing
that, even though Il 10 very minutest
degree, there was q distinctive differ.
ence in the sand found near the various
stations along the railway line, sent for
samples of il from each Of the places
through which the train containing the
silver coin had passed. With the mi.
croscope he then carefully examined
each sample, compared it with the sand
found in the barrel, and thus identified
the station from which the latter had
been procured. Having, in this ingen-
ious manner, found ont the station he
wanted, little difficulty remained (; for
the railway servants employed ct It, by
one of whom the robbery had been
committed, were 30 few in number that
the culprit was readily detected. In
this ingenious manner the thief was
found out. l ',s,.ee .+rf

Coasiing Accidents.

Papers from all over the country como

coasters. A few evenings since Miss Birdie

was very severely injured while coasting in
Virginia City with a party Of young folks.
Her left thigh was broken and her knee
badly injured. The danger has become
40 great in Pittsburg and Allegheny City,
Pa, that the authorities have been forced
to interfere. In those cities, within the
past two weeks. four boys and one girl
have been killed while coasting. and six
children have boon manned for life. Moth
ing more serious than the accident tina
happened TO Miss Schneider has occurred
in Eureka, but it is questionable whether
the pleasure OF coasting is sufficient COM

BILLY Lynn's Departure from vIr.
gtnia city.

Billy Lynn, says the Virginia Stage,
'the cove that lost left for Eureka on
the passenger train last night, and a Stage
reporter button-holed him for a minute at
the depot. Although a tough and wiry
boy. capable Of enduring much bodily
punishment, Billy has a whols-souled, gen.
erous and sensitive disposition, and keenly
feels the whips and scorns' he has been
subjected to since the late glove-fight at
the hands Of his former friends and back
ers. Poor fellow. we couldn't help but
pity him last night m he left for home
his face black and bruised, his pockets
empty, and but one solitary friend, about
as poor as himself. to bid him good-by.
Had fortune favored him, the depot would
have been too small for the crowd that
would have given him a '.send-off."
The only substantial friend the unlucky
man had was Jack Mailman, his adversary
in the contest. With a spirit Of masnanim-
ity for which our Jack is noted, he hand
cd Lynn $50 with which to procure a rail
road ticket. Lynn acknowledges that he
acted very foolishly during the fight, that
he moderated his opponent and failed to
improve whatever advantages he may have
had; but says he wished to prolong the
fight in order to show spectators that he
was game and had unlimited endurance.
When both his eyes were closed, however,
he says that all he could see was his mistake.
Mike Donovan's uncharitable remarks
about his lack Of 'sand' and ''leather," he
says, hurt worse than bodily punishment.
Lynn feels grateful to Mailman, and says
that If he succeeds in getting work at Eu-
reks, Jack shall shortly be repaid and Dom
ovan recompsnsed for the time and trouble
in training him.

Comments on the recent Reduction
of the Dividend.

of the Dividend.
The last number OF the New York min
ing Record" has this to say concerning the
Eureka Consolidated
The recent reduction OF the regular
monthly dividend paid to the shareholders
in this mine from three to two dollars a
share without any previous indication on
the part Of the direction Of the company
Of their intention to makes uch reduction,
has naturally created a good deal Of uneas-
mess here in the East as to the future
value OF the property.
For our part, we have no such appre-
hcnsion, though We could but look upon
the course Of the directors in making the
reduction without previous timely notice
thereof, with a full explanation Of the
reasons for the step, as grossly wanting in
proper regard for the interest of share
holders not among the trustees, and as
giving them-the trustees-an opportunity
to sell their own stock upon a market ex-
pecting a dividend of three dollars a share.
and of possibly purchasing it back upon a
market flattened by the reduction.
1t is bad for any corporate industrial en-
terprise for its management to subject it.
self to such an injurious suspicion; but
we trust no serious injury will result to
the Eureka Con. Mining Company merely
from the ill-advised manner in which the
reduction in the amonn OF the dividend
was made; for we are Of the opinion that
OF itself, the reduction was judicious, had
it been duly made known beforehand.
Shareholders in the Eureka Consolidated
should recollect that the stock Of the i'm
mediately n~eighboring property, the Rich
mond, which does not turn out as much
bullion monthly as the Eureka, and which
only pays n quarter yearly dividend Of
50 so. commands S55 per share in London;
this for shares $4,000 of the par value of
but $25 each.
As for the present condition OF the Eu-
reka, underground, the latest official re-
ports are highly favorable, and, unless
grossly, criminally false, give assurance Of
full ability to continue large monthly diyi-
dends for a long period ahead,

A CARBON CLERGYMAN.
Remarkable Conduct OF n Rev. Mr.
Davis-Thc Brethren Amazed.

Davis-Thc brethren
Rev. Mr.. Davis, says the Reno Gazette,
has recently become the rector Of the Epis-
copal Church at Carson. Ono evening
shortly after his arrival q social was
given at the church, for the purpose of
giving the members an opportunity Of be-
coming acquainted with the new pastor.
Two Of the oldest and most respectable
pillars Of the sanctuary entered the pas
tors study-a coy little room, where a
fire was brightly b~urning-and found a
dozen gentlemen lounging around in easy
attitudes and smoking. As Mr.. Davis was
known to be a Western man and liberal.
the cigars didn't shock the brethren much.
They were introduced, and rather stared at
Mr.. Davis, a very unclsrical looking gen.
tleman, with a dropping black moustache
and a somewhat rakish air.
I'm glad you've come among us, Broth
er Davis" said one Of the old gentlemen,
politely.
"Thankee," replied his reverence affa-
bly,. 1T is a pretty good layout, l reckon"
The old man gasped, but managed to say
that he hoped the Church would prosper
under his ministrations.
"Well," responded the clergyman, with
cheerful confidence. I'm give the boys a
rattle, and do what I can to drive in a few
gospel stakes. Is it q pretty good crowd
for business ?"
Both the Mortified brethren stared speech
lessly at tine pastor. Seeing that they failed
to comprehend, the reverend gentleman
kindly explained
"Oh, you don't tumble to the racket !!
What l mean is, will you church fellows
stand in when I peel and go for the sim
ners 2"
Finally, murmuring something about
being always willing to assist in the Lords
work, the brethren were staggering out
when their new pastor stopped them with
Isn't this rather a dusty style of treat
ing q fellow? Can't You trot out suthin to
wet ones whistle? 2"
They fed after one scared look at one
another, and were rushing from the church,
when another brother hailed them and
said he wanted to introduce them to the
new pastor.
"We've seen him." groaned one.
"Where2"

very nice old gentleman he is"
And who is the other Mr.. Davis-the
young man in the study?' asked the re-
lieved brethren when they had shaken
hands with WHOLLY acceptable and entirely
respectable Mr.. Davis.
The good old gentleman chuckled and
replied:
