FooD FOR MEN AND BABIEs.-Oat meal
and milk form most nutritious article of
diet, and if American children were
brought up on such food rather than on
nicknacks, candies, pickles. pastry, cake
and the thousand and one denominations of
the frying pan, we should have u nobler
race, and the type Of American manhood
would be improved in all that goes to
make up a strong, healthy and long lived
people. We are careful to feed our Young
horses oats and grass, and not allow them
to have corn, as it is too heating, but how
many farmers and their wives think of the
effect of the vile compounds of fine flour and
fat, sweets and acids, spices and condiments
innumerable upon their children. Science
and experience tell us that the whitest
flour is not the most wholesome or nutri-
tious. 1t is fashionable and looks nice.
and very poor people cannot afford to eat
the whtest flour. Therefore it is degrad.
ing the children and family to the level of
the horse and of the poorer classes, to feed
them on oatmeal and cracked wheat. Per-
haps the Almighty might have compound
ed n more complete arlicle for human food
than the grain of oats or wheat, but He has
not done it nor has the ingenuity of the
cook yet concocted anything which so
completed y meets the wants of the human
system. The nitrales, or muscle makers
the carbonates, fat producers; the phos-
pilates, or food for brain and nerves, are
happily combined in the wheat grain to
meet the wants of man. Give yourself
and your children oat meal and milk
every day and you will be more vigorous
than you are at present.-Selected.

servatory here three hundred feet long and
ten smaller conservatories. The first
buildings were erected in 1850 This

for botanical garden previous to the
removal of the seat of government to this
city. 1t was swamp in 1850. The tide
ebbs and flows here in u large sewer cover
ing river, known as the Tibcr.
In those conservatOries one can pass
hours very pleasantly, almost fancying

"MoTHER, HAVE WE ANY MEAL THIS
DAY"-Mr. Redpath, the New York
Tribune correspondent, sent TO Ireland to
inquire into the condition of the famine
stricken people has received many letters
from parish priests detailing u deplorable
state of affairs. The following letter
from Rev. John j. O'Keane, dated Dra-
more West, is tale of suffering that
ought to move Il heart of stone:
The area of this parish is over 10000
acres, the greater part Of which is bog
and mountain, and the remaining portion,
with the exception of couple OF hundred
acres of grazing land, consists OF poor
marshy lowlands. The average size of
the holdings is between six and eight
acres, and the population, including all
denominations, is about 600 families, near
ly 1000 individuals. Over 400 families aIe
dependent on the relief committees, and
loo families in the parish are almost en-
tirely in want of clothing, and the children
in II state OF semi.nudity.
On Sunday last rs was about going

tnrely aged by poverty, ad ressed me.

Spring El0werS.
ELIZABETH.

The blood root is in blossom! Now is
the time for spring walks. Never mind
the labor Of climbing the east hill. You
shall find the sanguninaria blossom in its
own sheltered nook, over the rocks, on
three sides shut in from wind, open to the
south, and its contemporaries, the liver
worts and May beauties stand humbly in
the presence of this queen of spring. She
folds her cloak Of green closely around
her, and is safe and warm, even through
the chilly April nights. A robe of purest
white becomes her like bride. If you
gather handful, there is blood on your
fingers. This, too, is suggestive of the
price we paid 50 lately for freedom m-all
early spring flowers are suggestive-a
handful of arbutus, sent to friend last
week from one hundred miles away, was
laid on young maiden's grave with sis
erly affection. | wonder if such things
are noticed in the garden above.

A Chat with Farmers.

ABOUT HIRENATION.

The saurians are scaly reptiles including
MANY species, all of which are alternating.
They all breathe the air and their two
lungs arc about equally developed. The
young undergo no metamorphosis, and
the eggs are covered with shell. In
their movements, some creep, others walk,
or run or climb, or swim or dive, or bur-
row or fly, as the case may be.
The lizard is prominent species of this
race, and embraces several families. The
lizard is defined as a scaly reptile, with
elongated body; four feet armed with
four OF five unequal and free toes; long
conical tail clothed with scales disposed in
parallel rings" The family of lizards is
divided into two sub-families, distinguish
