Fish rs Brain Food.
DIR. W. Draper

DIR. W. Draper
Since during the acts of sensation and
intelIection phosphorus is consumed in
the brain and nervous system, arises 8
necessity to restore the portions SO con
sumed, or as the popular expression H.
to use brain food. Now, as every one
knows, it is the property of phosphorus
to shine in the dark; and as fish in q
certain stage of putrefactive decay often
emit light, or become phosphorescent,
it has been thought that is due to the
abundance of phosphorus their flesh
contains, and hence that they are emf
nently suitable for the nourishment Of
the nervous system, and are an invalu
able brain food. Under that idea many
resort to diet OF fish, and persuade
themselves that they derive advantage
from 1t in an increased vividness OF
thought, signal improvement in the
reasoning powers. But the flesh of fish
contains no excess Of phosphorus, nor
does its shining depend on that element
Decaying willow wood shines even more
brilliantly than decaying fish i; it may
sometimes be discerned afar of at night.
The shining in two cases is due to the
same cause-oxidation Of carbon, not OF
phosphorus, in organic substances con.
tanning, perhaps, not q perceptible trace
Of the latter element. Yet no one found
himself rising to poetical fervor by
tasting decaying willow wood, though il
ought on these principles, to be better
brain food than much larger quantity
of fish.

The Domesticatlon Of the Buffalo.

Col. Ezra Miller, OF Mahwah, NJ.
has been making some experiment.
which have led him to the conclusion
that it will pay to breed bufialoes, bott
pure blood and crossed with our domes
tic cattle. Relating bis experience will
these animals lately, the colonel said
I" have proved to my own satisfaction
several points. First, that buffalocs car
be tanned. Second, that it doesn't cos,
one half as much to keep buffalo as to
keep an ordinary COW. Third, they can
be fattened As quickly as ordinary
beevss, and on halt the food, and Their
meat is just as good. Fourth, they are
as good mixers as our Alderneys; and
fifth, they are as good butter makers.
The milk of the buffalo is a little vel.
lower than that of the Attorney, but
very sweet and rich, and there is more
cream than in the Attorney milk. As
to the quantity of milk given by buffalo
COWS, they will average with the aver
age mixer. The udder OF the buffalo
cow is very small indeed, but the milk
veins are immense. This is . provision
whereby nature enables them to run
faster than il numbered by large udder.
am of the opinion that the most desir-
able cross is with tho big Dutch cattle
that have such big udders. l think that
crossing them with our short-horns will
give remarkably good beef. But the
beef from our buffaloes more than met
my expectations. 1t was sweet and
Juicy and tender, not at oil like the meat
of the buffalo of tho plains.
the buffalo and the ordinary COW, l find
these facts: The buffalo can be kept at
one half the cost of the COW: that's one
point for the buffalo. We will assume,
to give the COW . fair show, that she
yields more milk and butter. That bal
ances the account so far. Tho buffalo
is fully equal to our stock in the quality
of meat. So they are still on even
terms; but its hide is worth four times
as much, 80 it comes out tar ahead in
the last heat, a. horsemen say. The
hide from my bull was . beautiful speci
men. 1t Was better than s25 robe ]
bought to compare with it. The fur
was longer and finer, the result Of good
feed, I think"
The buffaloes herded with the other
cattle on the best of terms. What sur
prised the colonel most WAS their weak.
ness. He supposed they were very
powerful; but they are not. He hiss
seen . yearling Attorney bull push q
three year old buffalo bull uphill. They
arc fast. but they arc not strong. They
are also very cowardIy, very playful,
and very cunning.

WHITTAKER's TIME.

Not so much has been said about it, but a
great deal more depended on the time made
by Whitaker, the Democratic Congressman
from Oregon, In his race for Washington to
be present at the organization Of the House,
than upon that made by Rowell in the great
international walking match.
When Hayes proclamation calling the ex-
ira session for March IS appeared ON the
fourth instant, Whitaker was telegraphed to
come on Immediately. He took the first
steamer from Portland for San Francisco. but
the fates were against him, the ship being
delayed at least twenty-four hours behind
her schedule time, and after the train that was
TO bring him through In time had left.
He photographed to know what he should do
and was answered, "Get special train" A
locomotive and sleeping car were obtained,

Now it is said that the Zulus are COM
manded by American officers. This is the ex-
PLANTATION given by the Memorial Diptomatique
for the late slaughter of British troops by the
forces Of Cetywayo. OF course it is absurd.
The fact is the British officers were overcon-
fident OF the prowess of their troops and care
less in the direction OF their movements. It
Is not surprising that 1000 men should have
been butchered by $4,000, but 1t Is somewhat
astonishing that their officers should have
deliberately led them into the ambuscade
planned for them. After once getting them
In this position 1t did not require American
officers to direct the killing. Any Zulu chief
was capable Of doing that,
