The March of the Years.

One by one, one by one,
The years march past till the march is done
+, The old year dies to the solemn knell,
And merry peal from the changing bell
Ushers the other, one by one,
Till tho march of the years shall at last be
done.
Bright and glad, dark and sad,
Are the years that come in mystery clad;
Their faces are hidden and none can see
If merry or sorrowful each will be.
Bright and sad, dark and glad,
Have been the years that we all have had.
Fair and subtle under the sun
Something from us each year has won.
Has it given us treasures Day by day J
1t has stolen something we priced awayS
We meet with fears, and count with tears
The buried hopes of the long past years.
Is it so? And yet let us not forget }
How fairly the sun has risen and set;
Each year has brought US some sunny
hours,
With wealth of song and crown of
flowers.
Power to love and time to pray
It's gifts have been ere it passed away.
We hail the New that has come in view /;
Work comes with it, and pleasure too;
And even though it may bring some pain,
Each passing year is thing of gain;
We greet with song the days that throng (;
Do they bring us trouble? Twill make us
strong.
With smiles of hope, and not with tears,
We meet our friends in the glad ntv years /;
God is with them, and as they come
They bear us nearer our restful home.
And one by one, with some treasure won,
They come to our hearts till they all are
gone.

Nutmegs.

Kutmegs grow upon tree from
twenty-five to thirty feet high, which
bears fruit resembling in form and
size the Sickle pear. When ripe the
outer shell of this fruit breaks, re-
vealing an inner case of bright red,
known to commerce as mace. This in
its turn is removed, and the nutmeg

Dangers from Glucose.

The Boston Journal of Chemistry is
authority for the statement that only
glass vessels can be safely used in the
process of rendering starch into glucose.
This is impracticable on large scale,
and hence copper tanks are largely used,
rs the almost universal traces of copper
found in glucose plainly indicate it. Tho
stomach does not recognize this metal
as \ valuable ally in building up "A strong
constitution, but there are other dangers
TO be considered why artificial glucose
should not be forced into the markets
and into the stomachs of unsuspecting
consumers. To obtain the maximum
sweet sensation produced by an ounce
of crystallizable sugar. two and half
ounces OF glucose are required, and this
nearly trebles the volume of material
needed to satisfy the sense of taste. II
one teaspoonful of true sugar is all that
Is required to sweeten cup of coffee to
the taste, two and half of glucose is
required az an equivalent, and In this We
see how Objectionable must be this load
ing down of the organs of digestion and
assimilation with negative substance.
Pure glucose represents thatpoint In the
descending scale of chemical change in
cane sugar which renders it capable OF
undergoing the process of fermentation,
and thus breaking mp INTO new COM
pounds. 1t is nearer that stage of rapid
decomposition which results IN the pro-
ductiou of acohol with the evolution of
carbonic acid. Glucose undergoes this
change in the stomach with greater facil-
ity than sugar; and thus we find that
honey. which is largely glucose, gives
rise to fatulency, colic and nausea, when
taken freely with food. 1t is easy to in
fer from what has been stated that, while
glucose must not be regarded as pois-
on, it has probably Objectionable effects
upon the system. which make it an I'M
desirable il not dangerous substance.
1t is cheap material, costing but about
a. cent pound. and yet it is sold at
prices. in the syrup mixtures, higher
than the genuine csne-sugar syrups. 1t
is .orm Of fraud which is fast becom-
ing of immense magnitude. and should
receive immediate attention of law
makers.

Bread.

Bread, properly so called. was trans
mitted by the Greeks to the Romans;
and either tho latter or the Phoenicians
may have introduced the cultivation of
corn into Gaul. While, however. tho
land was covered by immense forests,
a long time must have elapsed before
the practice of eating acUrns, chest
nuts and beech nuts was abandoned
and even when corn was regularly
grown, ripened and harvested, the
grains were merely plucked from the
ear and eaten raw or slightly parched.
The next step was to infuse the grain
in hot water for the making of spe
cies of grrel or porridge, and a long
time afterwards 1t may have occurred
to some bright genius to pound the
CO. Il in u mortar, or rub it to u pow
der between two stones. Subsequently,
came the handmill; but it was not un-
til after the first crusade that the wind.
mill was introduced from the east,
whittier it had probably its way from
China. The first bread was evidently
baked on the ashes and unleavened, and
the intolerable pangs of indigestion
brought on by continual course
of GAZETTE" or camper" may have
suggested the use OF fermenting agent,
winch, in the first instance, was, probab
ly. stale bread turned sour. Pliny has
distinctly told us in his Natural His
tory that the Gauls leavened their bread
with yeast made from lye of beer; yet,
strangely enough, they abandoned the
use of beer yeast, and did not resume it
until the middle of the seventeenth cen.
tury. Its revival in France made the
fortune of many bakers; then the
medical faculty sounded an alarm, de-
claring that yeast made from beer was
poisonous. Its employment was pro.
hibited by law in 1856, but the outcry
raised by the bakers and the public was
so vehement that in the following year
the decree Of prohibition was Cancelled
with the proviso that the yeast was to re
procured only from beer freshly brewed
in Paris, or it immediate neighborhood.
Some form of fermented bread, however.
the French had been eating for 1900
years, in contradistinction to the grnel
and pulse eating ltalisns and Levantines
and the purely vegetarian Hindus.-

they want everything else cheap. Large

insects enemies. That one odor was OBJ
jectionable to man is no reason that it
should he Objectionable to other crea-
lures. There was, indeed, evidence that
some creatures reveled in what man de-
spised. DR.. Joseph Leidy remarked
that the odors emitted by some insects,
and. us 1t is argued. for their defense, are
often very agreeable to man. He related
that when recently going through the
grounds Of Mr.. Meehan in Germantown.
he happened to notice q colony of ants
(Lasius fiavus) just swsrming. and.
wishing to examine them at leisure. swept
some with his hand frcm rock to tin
box. There was very grateful odor of
lemons emitted, instead of the peculiar
odor of formic acid usual to ants. Mr..
Meehan observed to him that it was pre-
cisely the odor of species of Eucalyp-
tus. and they examined numerous spe-
cies growing about fifty yards from the
nest. and found the ant odor to be so
precisely that of Eucalyptus capitellata
that they retained to the heap of stone
to see if branch from the Eucalyptus
might not have been by some accident
broken from the plant and thrown there;
but it was found that the fragrant odor
really came from the insect. If an odor
to man is to be regarded as affordiug
protection to insects from their enemies,
what are we to say of agreeable odors
like e?-Independent.

The tendency of thought during the

of organized beings as for their own in

the structure OF the peculiar flesh organs
protruding from one Of the anterior seq
ments in the caterpillars of true butter

emit an offensive odor, and in this mat
ner serve as organs of defense. In the
