MILK As FOOD.

MILK AS FOOD.
DR.. Crosby, of the Bellevue Hospital, pro-
nounces milk an article of diet which all per.
sons may use, under nearly all conditions.
There are those who say they cannot take
milk, that it makes them bilious, etc., but he
declares that this is not true. A person who
is sick may take milk with the greatest pos
sible advantage because it contains, in form
easy of assimilation, all the elements essential
to maintaining nutrition. 1t is the natural
aliment of the young animal, and certainly
answers a good purpose for the old animal, ,
provided it is used properly, and not poured
into stomach already over6lled, as though
it had in itself no substance or richness New
milk he does not hesitate to say, may be taken
in nearly every condition.
Perhaps it will require the addition of
spoonful or two of lime water. The addition
of little salt will often prevent the after
feeling of fullness and "wind in the stomach
which some complain of. If marked acidity
of the stomach is present, then perhaps little
gentain may be requisite to stimulate the
stomach somewhat, and it may be necessary
to give it in small quantities and repeat it
often but ice-cold milk can be put into a
very irritable stomach, if given in small
quantities and at short intervals, with the
happiest effect. 1t is used in case of fever,
which formerly it was thought to "feed,"
and when scalded it has desirable effect in
Summer complaint.
But it is an article of diet for people in
health, and who wish to remain in that hap
py condition, that milk should be most ap
preciated For the midday lunch Of those
whose hearty meal comes at night, or for
the supper of those who dine at noon, moth
ing is so good. The great variety and ex-
cellent quality of prepared cereals give q
wide choice of food to use with milk. Bread
with berries in their season, or baked sweet
apples, boiled rice, cracked wheat, oatmeal,
bulled corn or hominy, taken with gener-
Gus bowl Of pure cold milk, makes the best
possible light meal in warm weather for
children and for all adults, who have not
some positive physical idiosyncracy that pre-:
vents them from digesting it. The men of
the frmest health and longest life are the
men of regular and simple habits, and milk
is standard article in such diet.
THE DEATH OF ALBERT SYDNEY JOHN
soN.-On Sunday, the sixth day of April,
1862, johnson, with his eager army, began
his fatal fight. He handled his ardent army
with brilliant skill and impetuosity. When
ever there was pause in the onward move
ment, he led the charge in person. To those
who saw him that day, as the writer did, in
all the glorious fever of that delirious success,
mounted upon magnificent steed, his mas
sive figure seeming to enlarge to gigantic size
with the ardor of battle, bis face ahame with
its iRdemitable spirit of fight, he was the ideal
| embodiment of the fiery essence of war. He
threw himself with reckless Indifference into
danger. And the last charge that broke the
Federal position was led by him in person, un-
der a perfect blaze of flame and hail, his horse
shot in four places, his clothes pierced, his
boot-sole cut by MIME, but his person un-
touched. 1t was in this supreme moment OF
victorious onset a decisive triumph seeming
ly and surely in his eager grasp, that fatal
bullet struck him, small wound under the
knee, severing the popliteal artery. ..
Governor Harris of Tennessee, who was
on his staff, rode up to him, seeing him reel
in his saddle, and holding him steady, ask
ed him: General, are you wounded? 7" lie
replied deliberately, and with emphasis
eyes, and fear seriously" He was lifted
to the ground. His boot was full of blood,
and the life current pouring out beyond re-
call. He never spoke again. General Presto
knelt by him, and asked him passionately
johnson do you know me2" General john
son smiled family Lying in ravine out OF
reach of the merciless bullets, he was dead IN
a twinkling.
Could General johnson have had immedi-
| ate medical attention he would have survived.
His staff surgeon was DR.. David w. Yandell,
of Kentucky, and he was away from him un-
der circumstances that constitute the most
| touching and beautiful feature of this roman
| tic DEATH The Federals in retreating, left,
of course, their wounded behind. In riding
forward General Johnson came across squad
of wounded Fededral officers and soldiers
Stopping, he kindly addressed them, and asked
if any were badly wounded. Then, turning
to his staff he remarked:
''It nearly breaks my heart to see men in
that uniform suffering. Doctor" addressing
Yandell, ''do stop and see if you can DO some
thing for these poor fellows"
DR.. Yandel stopped on this humane mis-
sion; and General Johnson owed his death
to the absence Of skill and Instruments, and
this absence was due to his tender humanity
to the wounded foe-a humanity the more
striking because it was exhibited in all the
excitement of battle.-A Georgia Colonel IN
the Cincinnati Enquirer.
a9r President Taylor was probably the only
president to whom the presidency was an un-
coveted and unsought for boon. Mrs. Taylor
was so averse to public life that it was said she
prayed every night during his candidacy for
his defeat, and when told of his election, said {:
"Why could they not let US alone? We are
so happy here Why do they want to drag
US to Washington Who that ever saw
General Taylor at a levee could forget him
He grasped every new conner cordially by the
hand, and saluted all, high and low, old maids,
brides, young girls-all with the words ::
"Glad to see you. Glad to see you. How's
your family Hope the children are all
wel?" His greeting was almost equal to
Rips toast: "Here's to you and your family.
May you live long and prosper" He hardly
ever opened his mouth without making mis-
take, and people laughed heartily. Still they
loved him, trusted his judgment and knew
his heart and hand were true as steel, and
when he died the whole nation was mourner
at his grave. When Major D. returned from
Europe he introduced him at dinner party
as "My friend, D., just from Berlin, Austria"
During his candidacy, Col. W., State elector
Of, after discussing several public topics,
asked him what were his views on the tariff.
"The what, jack" said General Taylor, who
suffered dreadfully. "The tariff, General"
said Col. w. "Why, what's that?" "lts
sine qua non," said Col. W., who was one of
the greatest wags that ever lived, "that the
people are much excited about now" A SINE
