A Tramp and His Drink.

A Misunderstanding tramp, with six
teen distinct patches on his clothes, and
a plaster over his eye, went into a sa-
loon, slapped down a worn-out dime
and bawled out in a voice loud enough
to be heard in Ogden:
Give me a soda-water cocktail with
the North pole in it. y
A crowd outside, thinking free drinks
were to be set up, crowded into the sa-
loon ard watched and waited. The man
of rags, who had ordered the North
pole in his drink, ate up all the lunch
he could find, chewed up the coffee and
cloves, and was tacl1ling the mint, when
the bartender quietly asked:
What did you say you want in your
drink, Mr.. Gould ?'
Mr. Gould steadied himself moment,
grinned ON the crowd and at himself in
the looking glass, and replied:
If you please, sir, I'll have the
North pole in it. p"
The bartender remembered an old
piece of gas-tubing, about three feet in
length, had been left around; he got it
and blew some cayenne pepper down the
inside, put one end of il in the cocktail,
and smllingly handed it to Mr. Gould.
Mr.. Gould took 1t, gave a first prelimina-
ry pull, and then hurricane arose. 1t
seemed as though the combined lorna
does OF eight Eastern States had broken
Loose. An immense conglomeration of
legs, arms, hats, canes and bodies was
observed piling out of the saloon few
moments after; and to-day, when the
saloonkeeper reckons up the losses of a
broken head, cracked mirror, scratched
and stained counter, and liability of
being sued, he will sadly remember the
last words of the tramp as he closed the
door and shot up the street.-.SaH Lake

raw uHSterS.

DIR. William Roberts, in an interesting
series of hctures on digestive ferments,
published IN the Lancet, saws The
practice of looking Is not equally: neces
sary in regard to all articles Of food.
There are important differences in this
respect, AMI it il interesting to note
how correctly the experience of man
kind has guided them in this matter.
The art clCs of food which we still use

by pancreatic extract was not apprecia-
bly, hastened by previously boiling the
milk. Our practice in regard to the
oyster is quite exec ptional, and furnishes
q striking example of the general cor.
rectness of the popular Judgment on
detetic questions. The oyster is almost
the only animal substance which we eat
habitually, and by preference, IN the
raw or uucoOked state. and II IS interest
ing to know that there IS a sound physi-
ological reason at the bottom Of this
preference. The fawn-colored mass
shich constitutes aiie dsdntv part Of the
oyster is It's liver, and this IS little else
than heap of glycogen. Associated
with the glycogen, but withheld from
actual contact with it during life, is its
appropriatiye digestive ferment - the
hepatic disastase. The mere crushing
OF the dainty between the teeth brings
these two bodies together, and the gly-
eogen is at once digested, without other
help, by its own diastase. The oyster in
the uncooked state, or merely warmed,
is. in fact, self-digestiye. But the adj
vantage OF this provision IS wholly lost
by cooking, for the heat employed i'm
mediately destroys the associated fer
ment, and cooked oyster has to be di-
gested, like any other food, by the eat
er's own digestive powers.

An important Find in Eeypt.

4 large number Of inscriptions have
been discovered in hitherto unopened
Egyptian pyramids, which throw great
light upon the little known early dynas-
ties of the Pharaohs. and revolutionize
the common ideas of the Osiric wol ship.
Herr Brugsch, younger brother of the
famous Brugsch Pasha, the advocate of
the theory that Israels pursuers were
drowned in the Mediterranean and not
in the Red Sea, has made a discovery
hardly less important. The sale of va
rious relics of some Arabs led him to
suspect that they had found some new
treasures, and following up the clue he
came upon the carefully hidden subter-
ranean buryIng places of many distin-
guished representatives of the Thebian
Royal line. The place of sepulture was
a gorge not far from ancient Thebes.
He found the mummies of about thirty
kings and members of the Royal family.

they wore are safe aud sound. The

and 1t is quite possible that some impor-

Bananas as Food.

Some years ago I heard lady, when
lecturing on physiology, speak of the
great valne of the banana as food She
said there was as much nourishment In n
pound of banana as In a pound of beef
steak. Accustomed as we are in New
York to the numerous carts of bananas
that adorn (?) our streets, and freely as
the fruit is bought, 1t does not seem
that it is yet recognized as food, being
used between meals, or else to garnish
and close a repast where an abundance
of solid and liquid food has already been
consumed. My attention has been called
to an article which recently appeared in
the New Orleans Democrat. The state
ment is there made that " one pound of
bananas contains more nuiriment than
three pounds of meat, or many pounds
of potatoes, while as food it is far superior
to the best wheaton bread. It grows
spontaneously in the tropics, but when
cultivated yields enormously, for an
acre will yield as much food material
as thirty-three acres of wheat or over a
hundred acres of potatoes. It is stated
that it is the principal food of the labor
ing classes of Brazil and Cuba. With
the daily rations served to the hands on
the sugar plantations are given half a
dozen bananas. The article enumerates
several varieties of bananas and plan
tains, amongst which is named those
growing on the Isthmus of Darien,
which are eighteen to twenty inches
long, and are never eaten raw, but are
boiled or roasted or made into preserves.
The suggestion is made that il would be
desirable to cultivate them largely in
the South to take the place of meat,
(which is becoming dearer and dearer.

HOW Men Recome Insane.

A large number of lunatics in our asy-
Iums are the victims of their own mis-
conduct. Almost any person can make
himself lunatic if he pursues the di-
rect method. There are hundreds and
perhaps thousands in this city driving
themselves to madness. Gambling, spec
ulation and hard drinking will under
mine the strongest intellects. young
man of my acquaintance has lately been
sent to Bloomingdale Asylum who was,
a few wears ago, Sc promising as to OBJ
tain an important appointment. He
abused his position, wasted large sala-
ry. became suddenly a gambler and
rake as well as defaulter.
The same idea is advanced by Ho-
garth. who finishes the "Rake's Prog
ress" by the scene in the mad-house.
During the last five years large num-
bers have been carried to the asylum,
the victims of speculation. The love of
pleasure and the haste to get rich have
done fearful work. After the intellect
has been over-driven it must sink and
perhaps remain III hopeless prostration.
1t may be added that the increase of in
sanity since the opening of the present
year is of unparalleled degree. More
than 500 cases have been reported dur
ing this brief interval, and hence it is
not surprising that the asylums are more
than full. The attention of the public
has been called to this subject by the
press, and additional room must be pro-
vided. We must either abate that furi-
Gus intemperance which is driving sc
many to madness, or we must double
our asylums all through the State
7Toy Times.
