Fish as Brain Food.
DR.. j. II. Draper, in Harper's Weekly.

DF y. H. Draper, III harper s weekly.
Since during the acts of sensation and
intellection phosphorus is consumed in
the brain and nervous system, there
arises a necessity to restore the portions
so consumed, or, as the popular express
sion is. to use brain food. Now, as
every one kroWs, it is the property of
phosphorus to shine in the dark, and as
fish in certain stage of putrefactive
decay often emit light or become phos-
phorescent it mas been thought that
this is due to the abundance of phos-
phorus their flesh contains, and hence
they are eminently suitable for the
nervous system and are an invaluable
brain food. Under that idea many per-
sons resort to diet of fish and persuade
themselves that they derive advantage
from it in an increased viyidness Of
thought-a 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 shines even more bril-
liantly than decaYing fish. 1t may
sometimes be discerned afar off at
night. The shining in the two cases is
due to the same cause.-the oxidation
of carbon, not of phosphorus, in organic
substances containing, perhaps, not a
perceptible trait of the latter element.
Yet, surely no one found himself rising
to a poetic fervor by tasting decaying
willow wood, though it ought, on these
principles to be a better brain food than
a much larger quantity Of fish.

4 Warming to Western Farmers.

The Colorado Farmer cOunseiS the ag-
riculturists of his state to stick to their
farms, and not be induced to leave their
comfortable homes for the mining re-
gions, where SO much discomfort and
uncertainty are in store for them.
We are told, says the editor, that far
mers are quitting their farms or are
letting their fields lie idle to rush to
Leadville, or to haul freight from the
railroad termini to the mining camps.
We have not word of fault to find
with them for striving to earn money,
for all know how bravely they have
struggled through two years of the 10
Gust plague, and two years Of low
prices. But at this time to abandon
their farms or fields to weeds and idle
ness, is suicidal.
There are pouring into Colorado 500
people every day, and this number will
be increased twofold in less than a
month, and will be kept up well into
the summer. At least $4,000 people
will be added to the population of the
state. These people must be fed, and
the bread and meat to feed them should
be supplied by our farmers. To do so
will take much more breadstuffs and
feed than all our farmers can, under
the most favorable circumstances, sup
ply. Raise as much as you may, it
will all bring fair price, even if Kan
sas and other western states raise as
large crop as last year, which we do
not expect them to do.
More money can be made this sum-
mer on Colorado farms than has been
in any one year for the past six, and it
is the height of folly to quit a certainty
for the very, very great uncertainty of
mining.
Farmers of Colorado, stick to your
farms; don't let the ignis tatuu of min
ing camps lead you from the solid
ground of your farms to the boys and
quagmires that are in and through and
all around the camps and cities that
are created by the excited crowd in the
rush and struggle for wealth that is got
by accident or luck

Mating Miignfs.

New York Special, 18th, to Chicago Times.
Another Tom-Thumb wedding is to
come off here in a few days. 1t has
been arranged that "the midgets" are to
be married. Lucie Zarate the prospec-
tive bride is Is years old, and weighs a
trif1e less than five pounds. Her face is
bright but not proposing. Gen. Mite,
whose real name is Franis J. Flynn,
weighs nine pounds, and is Is years old.
His face is bright and intelligent. and
his conversation does not belle it. The
marriage is one of convenience as we'll
as supposed affection. The dwarfs, be-
longing to different families, are liable
to be separated at any moment, and it
is thought best, therefore, to bind them
by ties that cannot be broken by show
managers and Gisagreeing parents. The
bride is to wear a white satin dress
studded with seed pearls. The bride
groom is to wear his full dress suit.
Miss Zarate belongs to the Episcopal
church, while Gen. Mites family are
Roman Catholics, and it was on the
question of religion that the families
differed. The difference was finally set
tied The wedding is looked forward
to, week from next Sunday, as
champion piece of Stiffness.

A FAIR WOMAN.
BYMAR8UEgTEE F. AYMAR.

Yes. fair, with ripping hair of gold;
(You thought did not like fair hair)
I did not, just a year ago
To-day l deem it passing rare.
Yes, fair: a woman whose sweet soul
Hath been well loved by men: they won
Not one word back for all they lost
No touch of that small hand, not one.
So fair, so fair, with golden hair;
Her mouth is soft and proud. her brow
Salnt-white ana pure, for long 2 90
Thereon some angel left his vow.
Her eyes are eager eyes that search
The silence of my soul and heart,
And wiring from me the hest Of me
To these gray eyes l play no part.
And cold? perchance you'd think her so,
Because she smiles and does not deign
To show her best or worst to you,
Her warmth and sweetness, JOY or pain,
Or jealous not for you 10 see:
I deem her so. because know
God gave her strength to love, as keen
As steel, or fre-as pure as snow.
Or Maynard yes, for al the world,
But not tor me; hold her here
Within my heart. Imperfect? Yes:
Cold, jealous, WaywBrd, and-moSt dear!

4 Check for One Cent.

A Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Times writes: "The much
abused George G. Gorham, whose spir-
its are of the highest, and whose friend
ships are of the strongest, closed his &C
counts as secretary of the senate on
Tuesday. After eleven years service,
during which he has disbursed many
millions-for the United States senate is
the most expensive legislative body on
earth-he closes his account for the
first time. 1t was found at the depart
ment that there was one cent owing
him. In an official letter, which had to
be copied. recorded, numbered, ETC., the
United States treasurer notified Cor
ham Of the balance on settlement, and
requested that he would draw his check
for the amount. With the same pre-
cision as though 81 100000 was at stake,
the check was drawn. A messenger
conveyed it to the treasury. The books
were searched to see if the amount was
to Gorham's credit, and then the cent
YVES paid-a great, big, copper one,
which Gorham proposes to keep for
luck forever. 1t seems that had he not
drawn the balance it would have gone
on forever among the liabilities of the
treasury, and occasioned any amount
of trouble to the clerks"

Serious Danger

Threatens every man. woman or child living in a
region of country where fever and ague is preva-
lent, since the germs OF malarial disease are in
hailed from the air and are swallowed from the
water of such a region. Medicinal safeguard is
absolutely necessary to nullify this danger AS
means of certifying and acclimating the system
so as to be able 10 resist the malarial poison,
Hostetter Stomach Btters is incomparably the
best and the most popular. Irregularities of the
stomach, liver and bowels encourage malaria; but
these are speedily rectifed by the Bitters. The
functions of digestion and secretion are assisted
by its use, and vigorous as well as regular con-

and physique are thus defended against The in
roads of malaria by this matchless preventive,
which is also a certain and thorough remedy in
the worst cases of Intermittent and remittent

ZULU names are written in our alpha
bet, but the phonetic values of the let
tiers are widely different. When the
missionaries came to reduce the Zulu
dialect to writing, number of sounds
were found which have no parallel in
English, or for that matter in any Euro
pean tongue. Instead of inventing new
characters the ordinary Roman letters
were taken and given new values. One
of the novel sounds, for instance, was a
sort of sibilant, chirrup, as nearly as
possible like the click with which a
horse is encouraged, and the litter i
was taken to represent this sound. By
similar changes In the value of our let
tiers Elkowe, the stronghold in which
Col. Plerson is besieged, is pronounced
as though it were written Etshowe, and
the initial letter in Cetewayo's name is
neither hard nor d soft C, but some
thing widely different. In fact, in
dealing with these Zulu names about
the only thing of which we can be GER
tain is that We don't pronounce them
right.

A Mercenary Count.

George, the Count Joannes, is cor
rectly described by a correspondent of
the Utica Observer as the original Claude
Melnotte when "The Lady of Lyons
was first produced in this country; and
he is right in saying that Mr.. Jones be-
came real count while travelling in
Europe; but the following implies that
the nobleman now appears on the stage
solely from mercenary motives: Il
held long conversation with the count
the ether day on the subject of his act
ing. Said he: People think I am a
crazy fool; [ am not. I'm knave.
The people flock to make fun of m e..
They uon't hurt me, unless the cab
bages or oranges don't happen to be
sufficiently mushy. But look beyond
the bowling and shouting of the idiots
in front of me to the time when the
treasurer hands me their dollars. Then
| say to myself, | was the fool awhile
ago, you are the fools now. And the
Old man is right. He has moro sense
than they give him credit for"

FRANZ LIszr is among the most dis.
tlngulshed of musicians in the world.
He uses and prizes a Mason & Hamlin
Cabinet Organ, and pronounces it
matchless," unrivaled," styling it
" this magnificent and to me so precious
instrument" There could hardly be
higher praise, or from more eminent
authority.
