Nutritious Food.

We learn from Chambers Edin6urg Jour
nal that very interesting report on the COM
parative nutritive properties of food was
lately presented to the French Minister of
the Interior by Percy and Vauquelin, two
members of the Institute. The result of
their experiment is as follows: In bread,
100 pounds are found to contain so pounds
nutritious matter; butcher meat, averaging
the various sorts, contains only 81 pounds
in 100 pounds; French beans 25 pounds,
peas, 90 pounds; lentels, Ia pounds; green's
and turnips, which are the most acqeous of
all vegetables used for domestic purposes,
furnish only pounds ofsolid nutritious
substance in 100 pounds; carrots, Ia pounds;
and what is very remarkable, as being in
opposition to the acknowledged theory, 100
pounds of potatoes only yield 55 pounds of
substance valuable as nutritious. Accord
ing to this estimate l pound of good bread
is equal to l-2 or pounds ofbest potatoes;
and 70 pounds of bread and 80 pounds of
butcher meat, are equal to 800 pounds Of
potatoes. Or again l pound of rice or of
broad beans is equal to pounds of potatoes
while l pound Of potatoes is equal to
pounds of cabbage, and to 8 pounds of turn
ips. This calculation is considered correct,
and may be useful to families where the
best mode of supporting nature should be
adopted at the least expense.

DEPTH OF AMERICAN LAKES.

There is mystery about the American
lakes. Lake Erie is only go to 20 feet
deep; but Lake Ontario, which is 592 feet
deep, is 23O feet below the tide-level of the
ocean, or as low as most parts of the Gulf
of st. Lawrence; and the bottom of Lake
Huron, Michigan and Superior, although
the surface is much higher, are all from
their vast depths on level with the bot
tom of Ontario. Now, as the discharge
through the river Detroit, after allowing
for the probable portion carried off by the
evaporation, does not appear by any means
equal to the quantity of water which the
three upper lakes receive, it has been con-
iectured that subterTanean river may run
from Lake Superior, by the Huron, to Lake
Ontario. This conjecture is not impossi-
bic, and accounts for the singular fact that
salmon and herring are caught in all the
lakes communicating with the st. Law
renee, but no Others AS the Falls of Mag
ara must have always existed, it would puz-
zle the naturalist to say how these fish got
into the upper lakes without some subter-
ranean river; moreover any periodical OBJ
struction Of the river would furnish not
improbable solution of the mysterious fux
and rehux of the lakes.

The glass to the eye. But who shall paint
The astonishment, dismay and rage, which
were depicted in every countenance as they
gazed upon each other and discovered the
sudden failure of all their hopes! With al

GERMAN FRUGALITY.

No stranger can reside in Germany foi
any length Of time and form even moder-
ate acquaintance with the citizens without
becoming impressed by the contentment,
frugality and union usually reigning in the
German domestic circle. The family of
many man doing large business and
moving in society Of the highest respecta-
bility often occupy but one floor, and every
room is furnished with great simplicity.
One seldom observes disposition to occupy
a whole house. Just enough rooms to sat-
isfy every requirement, and they are gen.
orally much smaller than Americans are ac-
custcmed to, are all that are desired. A
mans business may increase every year,
and yet he does not seem to be troubled
with the thought Of getting out of his mod
est apartments into larger ones, or buying
house for its entire occupation.
The disposition on the increase of wealth,
to enter more aristocratic circle, by buy
ing stately mansion on fashionable
street, beautifying it with costly furniture,
giving great entertainments, and appearing
every afternoon with a grand equipage, is
not a part of the Germans character. IF
he indulged in these luxuries on anything
less than fortune, the presumption is
that either he or his wife has been to
America.
The first thing wealthy German thinks
of, unless his tastes elevate him quite above
material pleasures, is to store his cellar
with wines Of the oldest vintages, and to
surround himself with an abundance of SER
wants.

TIE PALESTINE EXPLORATION So
CIETY.

The third statement of this Association,
Just published, is devoted to archaeological
and botanical reports by Professor Paine,
of the society's corps of explorers, and can
not fail to add to the interest elected by
the two previously published. The identi-
6cation of Mount Pisgah. a spot next to
Jerusalem the most interesting in Pales-
tine for its history and associations, con-
stitutes the archaeological portions of the
statement, while the botanical report
greatly increases our knowledge of the
fora of this portion of the Holy Land.
While the severe financial pressure has
considerably impeded the Society's work,
it has not been, as will be thus seen, en-
tirely suspended, and it is proposed soon to
publish an account of further explorations
in the region Of Glead.

The Gamblers Wife.

Draw the chair closer, my darling,
For, oh! Pm so happy tonight,
Little Sybil and Emma are sleeping
Come, look, what beautiful sight.
This hour every night, when you leave me,
1 sit here and think all the time,
And how you once promised to love me,
OF the pleasures you said should be mine.
True, darling, you've never denied me
A wish of this heart, all yoru own,
But Pm jealous, sometimes. when you tarry,
For Pm thinking how silent you've grown.
Silent! oh, yes, you are counting
The losses and gains when at cards;
The tears and the heart aches discounting,
And the prospect of life it retards.
When merry and youthful companions
Are smiling and drinking red wine,
And the money and pasteboard before you,
Does mercy ere give you the sign?
The sign of an angel protecting
Two babes and young wife at home,
Inc mOLner is praying anu WdAtAnSa
So silent, so sad, and alone.
The beauty you worshipped has faded,
The brilliant wit, all died away;
And my life is just what you've made it,
Come, change it, you can, if you may.
Come, promise me, darling, forever,
To swear of this gambling in time,
For life, Joy, and health it will sever.
And label them all with crime.
Your fathers gray hairs it win whiten,
His steps hasten on to the grave;
Oh, darling, you surely will tighten,
His few sands In LIES cup you'll save.
And the wife of your bosom will murmur
A fervent, "God bless you," and smile;
There, bow your head, tears won't unman you,
Rest here, on this heart without guile.

"KILLED BY KINDNESS"

This is a phrase which has just been
painfully illustrated by satatistics in Eng
land. Who would have believed, save up
on the authority of DR.. Lancaster, the Lon
don coroner, that not fewer than three
thousand tender infants are annually
smothered to death by their mothers, who
fall asleep in bed while nursing their
pledges?
Unfortunately, mothers involuntarily kill
their children in great many other ways

exposure in dressing, and through utter

fore, noticed by no one but myself.
This conduct on the part of Miss Cornelia
Smith discouraged ME from making any ad-
vances. Although, whenever | looked at
her, she appeared handsomer and more at
tractive than when saw her last; yet such
was my peculiar nature that the slightest
suspicion of being unwelcome was a sufficient
bar to my intrusion-a fence too high to be
overleaped could not endure the idea of
forcing myself upon anybody.
1t will be seen, therefore, that there was
but slender prospect-more slender than
the most corseted waist even of Maryland
girl-that Cornelia and I should ever tread
life's thorny path together.
Yet was curious to know why she hated
me SO bitterly, or what she saw in my ap-
pearance or in my manners that reyolted
her.
Cornelia was the first girl in whom l had

therefore, that wanted to know why she

business. Customers were not so we'll salts
fed with my manners as they had been, and
had began to think seriously of leaving
town and seeking employment in the city,
when an event occurred which changed my
resolution. A Miss Sayers had sent me her
album with request that would write
some verses in it.
A turned over the leaves, I was struck
motionless by encountering the name of
Cornelia Smith at the bottom of one of the
pages. 1t appeared that Cornelia had writ

them to be original. There was nothing re-

THE WEEKLY PRESS.

The weekly press has gradually grown
up into powerful political. as well as
social engine. diiusing information on
all subjects OF interest. and rejecting
great credit on the able men who have
the control of the various journals. The
newspapers have within the past few
years greatly increased in numbers and
size, and improved in literary character.
They are TO be. found in every town Of
importance in the States, and 4 poorly
edited sheet is rarely seen. The pub
fishing and editing of these papers in
wolves considerable expense, and the
fact that they are maintained is evidence
OF the intelligence and enterprise of their
readers. We are glad to speak good
word for our weekly contemporaries for
We recognize the ialcn; that is displayed
in conducting them and wish them in
creased success in the future.
We would also urge upon the people
of each community the necessity OF Civ
ing their local paper the most cordial
support. The local paper is what gives
strangers their knowledge OF the charac-
ter of the people. of the country where
the paper is published, and in proper
tion to the support given will the journal
be conducted. The town that is not
able or which refuses to support its local
paper lacks the enterprise that will bring
prosperity TO the country and deserves
to sink into decay. But that town that
has live. fearless and energetic news
paper, and there are many of them, sends
the intelligence all over the land and
the people know that such towns are
thriving and prosperous. ltiS. OF course.
the proper thing to subscribe for at least
one Of the large city dailies, but the first
duty OF the citizen is to support his To-
cal journal for the sake of patronizing
home industries il for no other, but the
return he will receive will far outmeas-
ure all that it will cost him. The press
has ever upheld the sirctest principles
Of morality, truth and Justice. and citi-
zens may well be proud of the many
able opponents of their principles.
Reading begets reading. The habit
of reading buildsup alovc for literature,
thirst for news, a desire to extend the
range Of daily thought. For that pur-
pose every citizen needs his home paper
Tor the home news. and one or more
other periodicals for himself and his
family. Our views upon this matter are
not, therefore, unreasonable. The more
the home papers are strengthened ani
built up and the communities are COM
posed of reading people, the greater will
be the progress Of periodical liturature
and all legitimate publishing interests
will prosper accordingly. Take your
