EATING FOR HEALTH.

One of the most prolific causes of disease
is improper eating, or taking food when
the stomach is not prepared TO digest it.
If food is taken at the proper time, and in
not too great a quantity, and is composed
of perfect cell structure, the stomach will
faithfully perform its duties, and the pro-
cess of assimilation will build up the sys.
tenn with healthy material. But if food
fails to digest, the heat of the stomach soon
rots it, A portion of this putrid matter is
absorbed by the lacteals, taken up by the
circulation, and deposited in various por-
tions of the system to rebuild torn down
tissue. Can such condition of the human
organism be an index to perfect health? Yet
such states exists. People often eat, some
times heartily-not because they are hungry,
but because it is meal time and unwit-
tingly violate hygienic law which will re-
suit, if continued, in impaired health with
all its concomitant evils. Many children
are fed to death by kind, indulgent mothers
actually crammed with pastry, candy
and nuts until their entire system is dis
eased, mass of putrescence from decayed
vegetable and animal matter. We need
not say anything of the evil effects of
stimulants and excitants. The thou
sands of slaves to this form of dissipa.
ton. the dreary homes, ruined con-
situations, and physical wrecks speak
more forcibly than words of the baneful
effects of unnatural stimulation. Drinking
and eating in short, cause more ills than
any other two things in the world. And
until people learn to govern their appetites
these causes will breed disease and misery.

A REMARKABLE COLLECTION OF DRAW
INCS

The Metropolitan Museum Of Art, New
York, has recently received as gift from
Cornelius Vanderbilt, one of its Trustees,
a large and important collection OF original
drawings by eminent italian, French,
Spanish, German, Dutch and Flemish
masters. This collection was begun in the
last century.by Count Maggiori of Fermo,
the author of an artistic guideboOk and a
member of the Academy of Bologna. Ad-
ditions have since been made from the col
lections of Signor Marietta, Prof. Angellnl
and Dr. Guastalla of Florence. James
jackson Jarves, into whose hands it came
not long ago from a member of the Loop
ardi family of Fermo. also added several
rare and important Specimens from his own
collections. The decisions as to authorship
were mainly made by the original owner,
Count Maggiori, and have been carefully
revised. The London academy, on hear
ing that this collection was destined to
come to America, remarked that as this was
held by good critics to be one of the best IN
Italy, the United States would at once
step into prominence among the possessors
of similar collections. Indeed, it expressed
surprise that so large, SO varied, and SO
really important collection could be OBJ
tanned now in Italy. No more important
step could be taken in this time of awaken
ing interest in art and in its history than
the acquisition of such large number OF
specimens of the work of the illustrious
men OF the past. The remarkably good
preservation of the drawings was also COM
mented upon with surprise and congratula-
ton. The drawings will be put on exit
bition soon in suitable glass cases, so that
they may be conveniently examined, and
yet sheltered from every injury. The
number of the drawiDgsis 600. ThemaJorlty
belong to Italian schools Florentine, Ro-
man, Venetian, Bolognese, Neapolitan,
Sienese, etc.-while not few are by
French, Spanish, German, Dutch and
Flemish masters. Among the more noted
names may be mentioned those of Michael
Angelo, Raphael, Andrea del Ssrto, Ben
vennio Celllni, Fra Bartolomeo, Spagnolet-
to, Salvador Rosa, II Sodoma, Perugino,
Leonardo da Vinci, Parmagianino, Cor
reggie, Andrea Mantegua, Tiziano, Gior-
gione, Tintoretto, Paolo Veronese, Palma
Vecchio, the Caracci, Guercino, Domeni-
cinio, Guido, REM, Brunnellschi, Luca
Gordano, Nicholas Poussin, Claude Lor-
raine, Vatican, Felasquez, Murillo, Durer,
Lucas Cranach, Rembrandt, Rrbens and
Vandyck. 1t is stated by those competent
to Judge that no collection in any way COM
parable with this in scope or number OF
specimens has ever been seen in America,
and that its acquisition as permanent
possession by the Metropolitan Museum of
Art marks an epoch In art-study on this
side of the water

THE VIRTUES OF BurrERM1LK.-F

THE VIRTUES OF BUTTERMILK.
people know, says the Country Gentleman,
the value of buttermilk A proper and
constant use of buttermilk will entirely
cure the constant craving for stimulants to
which many persons, from long use, have
Infatuated themselves. Have it handy
and when the appetite says whisky or
other stimulants, drink half tumbler of
buttermilk the craving desire will be sat-
isied, and the stomach will be much ben
Gifted and strengthened, instead of weak
ened. There are many good effects from a
free use of buttermilk 1t alone will often
cure sour stomach, and permanently. The
Tactic acid needed by many persons is sup
piled by buttermilk much more largely
than by any other known food or beverage.
One vital and important use of buttermilk
is the prevention of valvular ossifcation of
the heart, from which in this country so
many persons die, especially old persons.
There are many other peculiar so.called
heart diseases which Tactic acid, if par.
taken Of freely, prevents. The so-called
duttering or palpitation of the heart, con-
sequent upon disordered, dyspeptio
stomach, can be entirely removed by free
use of buttermilk. There are many other
unpleasant feelings thus cured, all of
which have their seat in the stomach-mel-
ancholy, the blues, etc.

zee roRr1rIcArIoN QUESTION.

II is perhaps of little moment that the
proposal to appropriate half million of
dollars to the improvement Of our fortifica-
tiuns should have been rejected by the
House. for such an amount could not have
accomplished anything. 1t is, however,
of some consequence that members of Con-
gress should view this question intelligent
ty, and it is very evident from the debate
upon it that several of them do not do SO
at present The assertion that we do not
require better defenses because foreign
war is improbable, is about as weak a posi-
.aiou as could be taken. 1t is not when war
Is imminent that Notifications can be built.
The statesmans rule is, sin time of peace
"a prepare for war, and nations which fail
20 follow that rule suffer the penalty.
Another member pointed with pride y TO
the history Of the rebellion, as showing
what could be done by two combatants
neither OF which was prepared for war
when the contest opened. The obvious re-

prepared the war would have been finished
in six moGths. As ii was, the want of
preparation on the part of the Federal
Government probably cost the country
fifteen hundred millions of dollars and
two hundred thousand lives. In the
eveat of foreign war, however,
1t is very certain that we should
have nothing to hope from want of
preparation on the part of the enemy.
The latter would assuredly not give us
any leisure to repair our Notifications or
build new ones. but being fully prepared
for active hostilities on the most extensive
scale, Immediately war was declared,
would proceed to search out all our weak
places, and to pay such attention to our
principal ports. dockyards and naval
arsenals, as would render the work of
preparation exceedingly difficult, if not
absolutely impossible. A member observed
that General Grant had said we required
rather heavier ordnance than more forti-
Ecations. This may be true, but at present
we are quite as weak in artillery as in
ships or forts. II was also intimated that
we might rely upon torpedoes for defense.
Even if that were true we have not got the
torpedoes.s We might begin to manufact.
ure them when war appeared inevitable,
but to arrange system of torpedo defense
for a coast-line such as ours is not work
of 6 few days or weeks, and long before
1t could be accomplished the enemy s IRON
clads would have passed unguarded points
and begun their work Of devastation. In
short, it is clear that as the case stands
~e are practically defenseless, and that
unless we begin to defend ourselves while
thore is no danger We shall be unable to do
so when the danger comes

DIGESTION IN CERTAIN PLANTs.-Dr.
Lawson TAFT has recently investigated
afresh the digestive principle of plants.
While he has obtained complete proof OF
digestive process in cephalotus. nepen-
thes, dioneea and the droserace9, he en-
tirely failed with sarrencenia and darling
tonia. The fluid separated from the dro-
serbinata he found to contain two SUBJ
stances, to which he gives the names OF
droserin and "azerin. DIR. TAFT con-
firms Sir j. d. Hooker's statement that
the fluid removed from the living pitcher
of nepenthes into glass vessel does not
digest. A series of experiments led him
to the conclusion that the acid must resem-
BILE tactic acid, at least in its properties.
The glands in the pitcher of nephenthes
he states to be q1ite analogous to the pep.
tic foilicles of the human stomach /; and
when the process of digestion is conducted
with albumen, the products are exactly the
same as when pepsine is engaged. The re-
suits give the same reactions with reagents,
especially the characteristic violet with
oxide Of copper and potash. and there can
be- no doubt that they ara peptones.
