Excellence of Oatmeal.

Liebig has chemically demonstrated that
oat meal is almost as nutritious as the very
best English beef, and that it is richer than
wheaton bread in the elements to go to form
bone and muscle. Professor Forbes, of
Edinburg, during some twenty years,
measured the breadth and height, and also
tested the strength of both arms and loins,
of the students of the University-a very
numerous class and of various nationalities,
drawn to Edinburg by the fame of his
teaching. He found that in height, breadth
of chest and shoulders, and strength of
arms and loins, the Belgians were at the
bottom of the list little above them, the
French; very much higher, the English /;
and the highest of all, the Scotch and Scotch
Irish, from Ulster, who, like the natives of
Scotland, are fed in their early years at
least one meal day of good oat t-meal por-
ridge,

He Caught a Grab.

She sat upon rock, fishing for crabs.
She had her dog with her-a skye terrier
snch one as a Broadway vender would
charge you SO for His hair was long
and as soft as silk, blue ribbons hung from
his ears, and his neck was encircled with q
mckle- plated collar. But all that counted for
nothing as against the fearful scene through
which he was about to pass. He lay close
to the basket into which the Fifth avenue
belle dropped the crabs as fast as she caught
them. He was no doubt dreaming of his
happy home far away, where he was wont
to take his daily nap on 81, 900 sofa.
Now and then green-bottled fly skipped
from ear to ear or lighted upon his back,
where the purp couldn't reach him, and at
such times he whisked his tail wildly ill
the intruder went away. On one of these
special occasions, after whisking off the fly,
the little silken tail rested upon the edge of
the crab basket, and the end of it dropped
inside, latitude AZ longitude 50. The
feathery edge of it struck crab in the eye,
and the claws closed on the appendage
s-i-m-u-l-t-a-n-e-o-u-s-l-y! The dog, oh,
where was hel A yelp, howl, and then
in silvery tones the ''ti vi, ''tl vi, as the
astonished pup sailed over the plain and
through the clover with string of crabs
connecting him with the empty bounding
basket, and all their claws clutched one
with the other, and for minute there was
a mixed scene of dog, crabs, basket, dust
and flying gravel, and the tail was told.
There was no more crab fishing that day.

Colonel Ingersoll does not, as
generally reported, seem destitute
of faith in happy hereafter. In
tho eloquent words spoken over
his dead brother he said:
"But in the night of death hope
secs a star and listening love can
hear the rustic of q wing. He who
sleeps here, when dying, MISLEADING
the approach of death for the re-
turn of health, whispered with his
latest breath: 4 am better now
Let lis believe, in spite of doubts
and dogmas, 9! fears and tears, that
these dear words are true of NIL the
countless dead"

graph-the first, indeed, consider

has ever been made. It lisa gcnu-

for years communicated from far
off, hut to write actually and auto
graphically beyond the point OF
ones pen has heretofore been i'm
possible.
A description of the details ofthc
process is impossible without dia-
grams. The result is enough. You
write on a board on which is an
endless piece of paper rolled olrby
clockwork, and your writing, re-
produced idcntically in shades and
shape, appears on similar paper at
whatever place you are writing to.
At present the operation is modcr.
at.ly delicate. One cannot write
very hastily. But a fac-simile is
given in the Engineering of a mes
sage taken forty miles off, which
shows the complete success Of the
process, and nothing hut little at

Our State.

Considerable attention is now
being directed to West Virginia by
the newspapers and their cores
pondents. as well as by other
means. A letter in the Boston
Bulletin of recent date, closes rs
follows:
"No other virgin Stale offers such
inducements; for, to as great as or
greater advantages of soil, climate
and forest and mineral wealth MS
are possessed by the more Western
States II adds tie still greater adj
vantage Of close proximity to the
seaboard, and consequent cheaper
transportation 10 Ill the great mar
kcts of the world. 1t lies directly
at our doors, and 4 ride ola little
more tl,an thirty hours will bring
its citizens TO any Of tlle principal
cities Of the Union.
"And this, in another aspect, is
an important consideration 10 the
emigrqnt from the North. lie may
not be satisfied with his new home.
If he goes to the Far West it is, as
it were, cut of from his base Qfsup-
plios. Should his funds have given
out, he cannot return ii he would.
But in West Virginia he can, in an
emergency, take his legs and be
back in his old home before he has
half worn out a stout pair Of bro
gans."
