Food for Fat PeOple.

There are three classes of food, the
oils, sweets, and starches, the special
Office of which is to support the animal
heat and produce fat, having little or no
influence in promoting strength of
muscle or endurance. If the fat, there
fore, would use less fat and more of
lean meats, fish and fowl, less of fine
flour and more of the whole products OF
the grains-except the hulls-less of the
sweets, particularly in warm weather,
and more of the fruit acids in mild
form, as in the apple, sleep less, be
less indolent, and labor more in the
open air, the fat would disappear, to a
certain extent at least, with no loss OF
real health.
In food we have almost perfect con-
troll in this matter, far better than we
can have in the use of drugs. If we
have too much fat and too little muscle,
we have simply to use less of the fat
forming elements and more of the
muscle food, such as lean meats, fish
and fowl, and the darker portions of the
grains, ETC., with peas and beans Med
zeal Journal.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Brumidi, the celebrated fresco- painter,
long employed in the Capitol at Washington, is
dead. The allegorical circle in the dome, re-
resenting tho progress Of tho American rep
public, which the old man hoped to finish, is
incomplete. and there is no one known who can
take up the dead artists brush and complete
the work, which by his own labor would have
taken over two years more.
Congressman Fort has addressed an
other letter to Fernando Wood asking him to
set time for the consideration by the Ways
and Means Committee of the bill reducing the
duty on print paper. Mr. Wood is understood
to favor the postponement Of the paper meas
ure until the Steel Rail and Sugar bills are dis
posed Of, but Mr.. Fort says if the committee
permits a month to elapse without action he
will call the matter up in the House under a
suspension of the rules.
No credence is given in administra-
ton circles to the charges preferred against
Gov. Hoyt of Wyoming Territory.

KleptOnlania.

About eight years ago an alarm
reached the chief police office in Lon
don that jewels of great value had been
stolen from lady of high rank while
a guest at quiet Northern country
house. A handsome reward was offered,
and not long afterward it became
known that the property had been re-
covered Astounding as it may seem,
it is nevertheless true that the TEN
porary appropriation of these fine thinga
was millionaire peer, who, albeit in no
wise penurious, is singularly simple in
his personal habits, and does not spend
one-fourth of his income. The matter
was all hushed up, and very few per-
sons outside of the family knew who
the thief, If we can SO call him, really
was. This was genuine case of KEEP
tomania, and proves beyond doubt that
it really exists. An English Earl of
high distinction had this weakness
from boyhood, and it involved his
leaving Eton. When, in after years,
he entered the Cabinet, it was rumored
that Lord - had entirely conquered
the propensity, except that at Cab
met council he never could resist
DlZzys' new green KID gloves. The
alarming disappearance of wax candles
at the Travellers Club, London, some
years ago, caused some dismay. The
mystery was at length solved by mem
Der of the committee seeing the old
Duke G. with a clear $750,0OO year,
ambling along the corridor with can
die sticking out of each coat-tail
pocket. His family were communicated
with, and his Grace ceased to come to
the club. Possibly, similar tendency
may perhaps explain an untoward incl
dent which occurred at Newport, and
has lately been recalled by "A concatena-
ton of curious circumstances. There
is doubtless good deal of sham KEEP
tomania but it is not the less true that
sometimes it is perfectly genuine. 1t
is, however, unfortunate to be at once
kleptomaniac and impecunious.-Neeo
York paper.

Many petitions were presented in the Senate

bury presented a majority report of the Committee
on Privileges and Elections in the Ingalls, case. The

report, signed by Hoar, Logan and himself,

Why We Butter Our Bread.

The layers of the wheat berry, as we
proceed toward the center, become
more and more completely starchy, and
at the center but little else is found,
and this portion makes our finest -four.
The finer the -four the less fit it is for
nutrition. In its natural state the
wheat, with all its componcuts present,
is not fit for perfect human develop
ment. There is deficiency in the po-
tential aeat-producing materials, es-
pecially for cooler climates, there being
only 2 per cent. OF fat IN wheat. We

SENATE EXODUS INVESTIGATION.
Synopsis of the Testimony Elected by the
Voorhees, COMMITTEES.

Synopsis of tho Testimony Elected by the
Voorhees, COMMITTEES.
r. c. Badger, of North Carolina, a promi-
nent Republican politician, stated that he had
made a close study of the negro character be-
fore and since emancipation; that cue race was
slowly and gradually improving. and growing
more thrifty and self-reliant. When the war
ended both whites and blacks were bankrupt;
but they have since slowly emerged from
that condition of poverty. The blacks do not
get strict justice in the courts, as thev
are more easily convicted convicted
on weaker testimony, for larceny
than the whites. He did not believe there as
any good reason for the exodus from North
Carolina; that the blacks could not compete
with the white laborers of Indiana, and he
selt satisfied they were going to a state Of
starvation when they emigrated to the State
of Indiana. Referring TO the educational facil-
tiles in North Carolina he said the blacks were
afforded the same common-school facilities as
the whites. John b. Syphax, a Virginia col
ored politician, who had promised 10 show that
Senator Window was the originator of the ex-
odus movement, was placed in the witness
chair, and, somewhat to the surprise of the
committee, he absolutely knew nothing, except
that Mr.. Window introduced bill in the Sen
ate TO encourage the emigration 10 the North
OF Southern negroes. Mr.. Window asked
the witness if they had lunatic
asylum in Virginia, and being informed by
Syphax that they had, inquired further, slow
did you escape from lty" After considerable
badinage had passed between the Senator and
witness on the subject Of lunacy and lunatics,
Syphex retired.
