Forms Of Food.

| Let us consider the special forms of
food. Beef, mutton, vcnlson, poultry.
Dlrds, game and fish have all the needed
| lngrc tents. They have albumcn. tibuu.
casein, rat, etc. The value of these in
grcdlents depends somewhat. on the way
thcy arc prepared for consumption. Bak-
ing or roasting retains more nourishment
than boiling. Stewing retains more nour-
lshlnent than frying Heat suddenly ap-
plicd congilatcs the albumen, and when
gradually applied softens the muscles and
renders them more tender and easily di-
gested. The heat applied develops in the
meat flavor peculiar 10 each kind anu
differing from what it is when raw. This
peculiar flavor usually plcases the sense of
taste and promotes digestion aad 80 IN
crcascs its amount Of nutrition. Propcrly
cooking meat is then of vast Importance.
Each Kind needs special amount Of
heat Ill order to develop its peculiarly
agreeable flavor and its nutritious power
large amount OF heat not only burns it,
but destroys its proper flavor and lessons
lts 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 IN knowing in what
way and how long it may be exposed to a
SiFCll dllloullI VI nChL.
Eggs arc nutritious and contain all the
ingredients necessary to promote animal
growth. few days of very moderate
heat changes contents Of an egg to bird.
It's white is nearly all albumcn and mineral
or inorganic ingredients. Its yoll1 Is COM
posed OF oily matter mingled with albu-
men. Applying heat in any way changes
it's consistency and flavor. The latter
more than is generally supposed is mod-
fled by the food On which the bird may
live. as Is the meat ANIMALS may yield
Hens fed with dccaying meat yield eggs
that have q 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
contains all the ingredients of animal
growth. 1t contains in nearly fixed and
definite proportions, water, lime, salt,
casein, albumon, sugar and fat.
The vcgctals used FOR human food as
beans, peas, turnips, and potatoes, also
contain starch, albumen, sugar, water and
the mineral ingredients-cookng them
softens them and SO renders them dgcsti-
bic. Their value as means of nourlsh-
ment depends upon the way they are pre-
pared. Roast or baked potatoes are moro
| digestible and nutritious than boiled or
fried ones. Their value as articles OF food
| depend also upon the soil in which they
grow. Health depends upon proper food
well cooked Bad cooking vltiatcs tho
nutritious qualities OF the best kinds OF
| food.

happens that Mr.. Bush needs assistance

cases he simply says, "Huldah, go and
get Pat and Mike, want them to help
me-" The animal trots off to the houses

III Cyprus.

The Cypriote makes night hideous
with his howlings, laboring under tho
impression that he is musical The
noise or music to which he jumps is
chiefly produced by scraping onc-tho
trcble--string of little fiddle with
great rapidity, and has to nll appear
ances been learned from tho mosquito,
which it mimics with considerable &C
curacy. The fiddle is generally accom-
panied by the bOudon of q either, which
copies well the wearing scrcech of the
cicala. When the native Greek breaks
into song he produces brief nasal
drone, whose melancholy sound is often
repeated. The boys never whistle but
the children, chiefly the girls, from time
to time, with q voice from tho head and
nose produce short tune, which never
exceeds two or thrco bars. With all
this they have wondrous lungs. The
men will send their clear voices ringing
through the pure dry air across tho
countryside in tho streets and on the
roads they converse, preferably it would
almost seem, from distance in loud
tones. When on fine evcnings-and all
evenings are fine in Cyprus for months
togcther-wholo families sit in tho lanes
outside their doors, they do not take tho
trouble to move in order to visit their
ncighbors, but shont to them with shrill
distinctncss rs they sit. The result is q
babel of noise, iol all shout together.
Notwithstanding that, they seem to make
themselves intelligible

THE WORLD AS 1 FIND 1T.

Where tears are never dried,
Where pleasures pass like breath OH glnss,
And only woes abide.

Yet this 1 dare to say,
My lot has had more glad than sad,
And 30 1t has to-day.
They say that loves a cruel jest;
They tell Of women's wiles-
That poison dips In pouting lips,
And death In dimpled smiles.
It may he so-I cannot know
Yet sure of this am,
One heart Is found above the ground,
Whose love ls not sham.
They say that lifc's bitter curse
That hearts are made to ache,
That jest and song are bravely wrong,
And health vast mistake.

But let them talk their I'll;
I like my life, love my wife,
And mean to do 80 still.

AMERICAN CERAMIcs.--Ten years ago
there was nothing worthy the name of fine
art in ceramics. Great progress has, however,
been made within that time, and even during
the past two years. A collection Of vases In
the Limoges style, now on exhibition In Phil
adelphia at Bailey, Banks q Biddle's, will
compare favorably with some of the best Of
those made in Europe. They resemble the
Haviland In form, are highly glazed, and
decorated with flowers in natural colors. The
perfection of finish which characterzes these,
gives strong testimony of the encouragement
this branch of SIX illed labor has received.

Il DIscREDITABLE EXHIBITION

Mr.. EDITOR - | cannot let the occasion
pass without making public protest, as a
citizen, against such performances as the
pagilisti6 exhibition which WAS allowed 10
take place III our city last week. believe it
to have been derogator3 to tie thafacter Of
our city, damaging to its best interests, an
encouragement of the vicious, an offence
against the moral sense of the community,
and discredit alike to the City Council
which licensed and authorized it, and to those
who let their hall for such purpose. At the
latter am especially surprised, feeling that
the public had a right to expect better things
Even If they were determined to let pecuniary
considerations alone govern the case, it is as
touishing that they should consider the few
dollars held oiit to them an adequate COM
pensation for the loss Of tone, prestige and
reputation of the hall, for surely nothing
could be better calculated than such a per-
Torrance TO cause respectable parties TO
shun the place, and thus bring the property
into discredit and disrepute.
1t is to be hoped our citizens will not be
backward in expressing their sentiments
about this whole matter, for they have a
vital interest In it. 1t is an effort commenced
last year, renewed now, to introduce here the
vices of larger cities which render their
strong police forces necessary, and il allowed
to succeed, rowdyism will soon be rampant,
to the increase OF the Cost of government, the
Corruption Of our youth, and the insecurity OF
our peoples TRUTH.
