FORMS OF FOOD.

Let US consider the special forms of food
Beef, mutton, venison, poultry, birds, game
and fish have all the needed Ingredients
They have albumen, ibrin, casino, fat, etc,
The value of these ingredients depends some
what on the way they are prepared for con-
sumption. Baking or roasting retains more
nourishment than boiling. Stewing retains
more nourishment than frying. Heat sud.
denly applied coagulates the albumen, and
when gradually applied softens the muscles
and renders them more easily digested. The
heat applied develops in the meat flavor
peculiar to each kind and differing from
what it was when raw. This peculiar favor
usually pleases the sense of taste and pro.
notes digestion and so increases it's amount
of nutrition. Properly cooking meat is then
Of vast importance. ''->- -.-.-n -...- -,-s-
Each kind needs Special amount of heat
in order to develop its peculiarly agreeable
flavor and its nutritious power a large amount
of heat not only burns it, but destroys its
proper flavor and lessons its power of building
up the body. Meat rarely cooked contains
more nutrition than the we'll and deeply done.
The art of cooking meat consists Of knowing
in what way and how long it may be exposed
to given amount of heat. d..
Eggs are nutritious and contain all the in
gradients necessary to promote animal growth.
A few days of very moderate heat changes
the contents of an egg to bird. Its white
is nearly all albamen and mineral or iDor.
ganic ingredients. It's yolk rs composed Of
oily matter mingled with albumen. Apply
ing heat in any way changes its consistency
and flavor The latter more than is generally
supposed is modified by the feed on which the
bird may live as is the meat animals may
yield. Hens fed with decaying meat yield
eggs that have a putrid taste. Cows and
sheep fed on improper food betray in their
milk and meat the kind of food on which
they have lived.
Milk is an emulsion, and like the egg con-
tains all the ingredients of animal growth.
1t contains in nearly fixed and definite pro-
portions, water, lime, salt, casino, albumen,
sugar and fat. -.
The vegetables used for human, food as
beans, peas, turnips, and potatoes, also con-
tain starch, albpmen, sugar, water and the
mineral ingredients cooking them sottens
them and 80 renders them digestible. Their
value as means of nourishment depends upon
the way they are prepared. Roast or baked
potatoes are more digestible and nutritious
than boiled or fried ones. Their value as
articles of food depends also upon the soil in
which they grow. Health depends upon
proper food we'll cooked. Bad cooking viii

NOT GENERALLY KNOWN.

Keys were originally made of wood, and
the earliest form was simple crook similar
to the common picklock. The ancient keys
are mostly Of bronze, and of: remarkable
shape, the shaft terminating on one side by
the wards, on the other by a ring. Keys of
this description we're presented by husbands
to wives, and were returned again upon d.
vorce or separation.
Hats were first made by Swiss at Paris,
14O4 A. D. They are mentioned in history
at the period when Charles VII. made his tri.
umphal entry into Rouen, in 1449. He wore
hat lined with red velvet, and surmounted
with rich plume of feathers. 1t is from this
reign that hats and caps are dated, which
henceforth began to take the place Of the chap
eroops and hoods that had been worn before
in France. Previous to the year 1910 the
men and women of England wore close.knit
wooden caps.
The custom of crowning the poets origina-
ted among the Greeks, and was adopted by
the Romans during the Empire. 1t was re-

of Germany, who invented the title of poet.

little is known of those who bore it. The
tradition concerning the laureate in England
is that Edward III, in 1867, emulating the
crowning of Petrarch, at Rome, in 1341,
granted the Office to Chaucer, with yearly
pension. In 1880 the laureate was made
patent office. From that time there has been
a regular succession of laureates.
Until the close of the eighteenth century
the finest muslins in use were imported from
India. The earliest mention of cotton among
the classic nations of antiquity is by Herodo-
tus, who speaks of it by the name of tree.wool,
which name it still bears in German and sew
eral other continental languages Cotton was
not known in Egypt until about 500 years
before Christ. Then it appears probable that
it was imported, for all the cloths found en-
veloping the mummies of early ages have
proved on examination to be linen. Cotton
cloths are mentioned as having been imported
into London in 1896, the knowledge Of both
the culture and manufacture having probably
been conveyed there by the Moors and other
Mohammedan nations. The former were the
means Of first bringing this manufacture into
Europe.

THE PRESSURE OF WIND.

In paper read before the American Socie.
ty of Civil Engineers, Mr.. G. Shaler Smith
gives the results of many years observation Of
wind pressure and its effects He has person.
ally visited the tracks of destructive storms as
soon as possible after their occurrence, for the
purpose of determining the maximum force
and the width of the path of the storm in ev-
cry instance. The most violent storm in Mr..
Smiths record was at East St. Louis, in 1871,
when the wind overturned locomotive, the
maximum force developed in so doing being
no less than SO lbs. per square foot At St.
Charles, in 1877, Jail was destroyed, the
wind force required being s43 lbs. per square
foot. At Marsh6eld (Mo.), in 1880, brick
mansion was leveled, the force required being
SO lbs. per square foot. Below these extraor.
dinary pressures there were sundry cases of
trains blown of rails, and bridges, etc., blown
down by gales of wind Of from "a lbs. to 81
lbs. per square foot. Mr.. Smith observes that
in. all his examples he has taken the minimum
force required to do the observed damage,
and has considered this as the maximum force
of the wind, although, of course, it may have
been much higher. Some of the hurricanes
were very destructive, the one at Marshheld
having cut down everything along path At
miles long and 1900 feet wide, killing 25o
people, Mr.. Smith has formed the conclu.
sion that Notwithstanding these examples, 30
lbs per square foot is sufficient wind pressure
to allow for in working specification. AS
reasons for this conclusion, Mr.. Smith ex-
presses doubts as to whether direct wind or
gale ever exceeds this pressure. Whirl.winds
may exceed it, but the width Of the pathway
of maximum effort in these is usually very
narrow. Mr.. Smith has only found one ex,
ample, already quoted, wherein the path OF
pressures over 80 lbs. per square foot exceeded
80 feet wide. This pressure is in itself very
unusual, and, referring more particularly to
railway bridges, it is stated that a loaded pas
senger train will leave the rails at this pressure

THE DISCOVERY OF QUININE.

The discovery of the medical properties Of
cinchona bark is enveloped in great obscurity.
All that we know about it for certain is this
Before the year 1638-that is to say $50 years
subsequent to the discovery of America-not
even the Spaniards were acquainted with the
febrifuge qualities of cinchona; but in this
year, or thereabouts, the Countess de Chin
chon, the wife of the Spanish Viceroy of Peru,
was cured of violent intermittent fever by
drinking an infusion of the bark, and this
led to its introduction into Europe Were
the natives themselves acquainted with it ?
Humboldt answers this question very positive
ly in the negative, and refers the discovery to
the Jesuit missionaries, who, being in the
habit of tasting the bark of every tree they
hewed down, at length discovered the pre-.
cious febrifuge Other authors of repute con-
tend that the virtues of cnchona bark we're
known to The Indians long before the advent
of the Spaniards; but the question again
arises how they first became acquainted with
its properties. To account for this the ridic-
ulous tale has been invented that certain ami.
mails, while laboring under fever, happened to
gnaw the bark of one of the cinchona trees,
and were cured forthwith. Far more proba.
Bile is it that some cinchona trees having been
laid PROSTATE by the tempest in pool of wa.
ter, and the latter becoming charged with the
medicinal principle, some person laboring un-
der fever drank of this water, was cured, and
published the result.
But however this may be, it is certain that
the remedy first became popularized in Eu-
rope throu gh the agency of Count de Chin
con Viceroy of Peru, whose wife as we have
sal-, was cured Of intermittent fever, by its
administration. The new remedy, however,
was badly received in France and Italy. The
faculty set their faces against it, Physicians
who dared prescribe its use were prosecuted,
and it was only the Patronage of Louis XIV.
which ultimately rendered it popular in
France. This monarch suffering from inter-
mittent fever, was cured by an English em.
piric named Talbot, by means of a secret
remedy. This was no other than cinchona
bark. Louis XIV. purchased the secret for
$4,000 livres and bestowed yearly pension
of 1000 livres on the Engishman, besides
giving him letters of nobility. Three years
subsequently the remedy was published. 1t
was highly concentrated vinous tincture of
cinchona bark. Cinchona trees grow in the
densest forests of Peru. In these forests there
are no roads. Frightful precipices intersect
the path of the cascarillero, or bark. gatherer,
across which it is difficult to pass, even when
unembarrassed by load. So soon as the
treasure of bark has been secured, these diff
cultes and dangers proportionately increase,
so that the mparatively low price at which
cinchona may be procured is, in itself, a mat
ter of surprise CassslEs New Popular Edu.

A PERILOUS RIDE.
The Fast Time Made by the Consulting PLY
sicians to Washington.

The ride of the two consulting physicians
to Washington must 60 into history as one
of the most remarkable on record. DIR. Frank
H. Hamilton received dispatch summoning
him to Washington at his house, 43 West
Thirty-second street, New York. 1t took him
only ten minutes to prepare for the journey.
He left the house at about o'clock, with the
remark that he did not know when the next
train would start, but that he would get
carriage and 60 to the ferry so that he
would be ready to take it. The dispatch,
which was BRIEF he took with him. He has
tened in carriage to the Desbrosses street
ferry, where he learned that the first train
for Washington was over the Pennsylvania
Railroad at $40 o'clock. 1t would arrive in
Washington at 1920 o'clock P. M. Some
time was spent in inquiries es to the depart
ure of trains on other roads. Then he cross.
ed the ferry and entered the Jersey City pas
senger waiting room, where he was recognized
while he was making inquiries at the palace
car window. Superintendent Jackson, who
was in his Office in another part of the depot,
was sent for. A very brief time sufficed to
make him aware of the situation. He hur-
ried away from DR.. Hamilton, and seven
minutes later the latter was rushing out of
the depot on a special train. 1t was 80
o'clock P. M. when the depot master and the
train dspatchers received notice to be spry.
Engine 915, one of the best of the ordinary
engines with a 6vefoot driving wheel was
hitched to a new Eastlake coach, and at 3.2O
it was run out of the depot. The new East
lake coaches are chiefly remarkable for their
ceilings, their low and comfortable seats and
the elegance of their panelings Of light un:
stained maple and ash. Each panel is carved
after an original design. They run very
smoothly.
The freight trains were all got out of the
way one after another on side tracks in time
to allow the special to roar past them without
Stacking speed, but two passenger trains de:
layed the doctor fifteen minutes. He arrived
at Phiadel phia at 5 o'clock, 8 distance of
80 miles, in 100 minutes. The engineer
was A. Vandergrift and the conductor was
H. w. Headly. At Philadelphia stop OF
but few minutes was made, in which to
change engines and allow DR.. Agnew to get
on the cars. From Philadelphia to Viii.
mington, with a stop at Chester and other
places, the run was made in q minutes, the
distance being twenty.six miles. A dispatch
had been sent to Wilmington for brakeman
and man named Humphreys was detailed
to make the train" At 527 the special
came dashing through the city at the rate Of
at least, eighteen miles an hour, and the in
trepid brakeman stood near the track. He
made desperate grab at the rear platform
and at the risk Of his life succeeded in gain

were protected by wire railing, and he wa'
carried considerable distance clinging on tt

OLD SHoEs.-You probably think that if
you look very sharply at an old shoe when
you throw it away, you will know it again if
it ever comes back to you. But that doesn't
at all follow. One of these days you may
button your dress with an old pair Of slippers,
comb your hair with boot, or grasp a cast of,
gaiter while at your dinner. You don't see
how this can be? Well, we'll tell you. Old
shoes are turned to account by manufacturers
in the following manner: They are cut into
very small pieces, and kept for couple Of
days in chloride of sulphur. The effect Of
this is to make the leather hard and brittle.
Next the material is withdrawn from the ac-
tion of the chloride of sulphur, washed with
water and dried When thoroughly dry it is
ground to powder, and mixed with SOME sub
stance like glue or gum, that causes it to
adhere together. 1t is then pressed into
molds and shaped into buttons, combs, knife
handles, etc. So you see how it may come to
pass that you will comb your hair with a
boot, and fasten your clothes with slipper.

HOPE IN DESPONDENCY.
BY JOB.
sigh for perfection
And oft long for rest;
But in every direction
I behold the oppressed,
Who labor in sorrow
And grieve much in their shame,
While every tomorrow
Returns to them their pain.
Tears here are e'er falling,
And sighs swell every gale,
And fears are e'er calling
On the heart when hopes fail.
Ahi the best and the purest
Are condemned by the mean,
While those sunk the lowest
Highest exalted are seen.
= Is this mans highest end?
Was he formed but for woe?
That Gods wrath might descend
Kissing hot ever more?
On him in affliction.
As he tolls to be blest,
And hopes by salvation
Ever more to find rest?
No; man never was made
Fer to suffer in pain,
And his hopes all to fade
Out in darkness again.
Nay, the time will yet come
When the righteous shall rule,
And exact justice be done
To king, beggar and fool.
Then cry I for mercy,
And pray God for reform,
And that soon he may be
Pleased to send it along,
And remove from the earth
Every chronic disgrace,
And exalt only worth
To high honors and place.
