GOONkSSs--
The world little imagines how largeIy w.
indebted to the laborious reseaches Of seien-
tifc medical men for many of the most i'm
portant truths relative to human health, hap
piness and life. AS population increases
and the value of food is enhanced. the
knowledge which chemistry has ELECTED is
becoming more and more valuable in prac-
ticable point of view.
Some kinds of food are more nutritious
than others, and if it should be found that
articles which are cheapest have the most
nutriment and give the highest ability to
labor, then knowledge becomes money to
to the poor. Tables vary, but some of the
general results are as follows: One pound
of rice, prepared for the table, gives ss per
cent. of nutriment, and, consequently, rel
atively proportional ability to labor, COM
pared with other articles of food. pound
of beef, costing fifteen cents, gives only 25
per cent. OF nutriment. Yet countless num-
bers of the poor in New York strain point
daily to purchase beef at fifteen cents
pound, when they cnnld get a pound of rice
fur one-third of the amouEst. the rice 100
having three times as much ne4riment az
beef making practical difference * 900
per cent, aside from the fact that boffss
rice is three times easier of digestion than
roast beef, the rice being digested in about
one hour. roast beet requiring three hours
and half. There is meaning, then, in the
reputed fact that two-fifths of the human
family live on rice.
We compile the following tables for pres
ervation, as being practically and perma-
nenily useful. All the economist requires
is to compare the price of pound of food

GREELY'S RELIEF.
Views of Eminent Arctic Explorers or
the Course TO be Pursued by the Ex-
pedifien.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 1.-THE Secretary Of
the Navy has received communication from
Capt. G. Nares R, N, embodying the views
of himself, Major Fl. w. Fielder, H. NJ. A,
and Capt. A. H. Markham, R. N, in response
to an invitation received for such suggestions
as they might make for the conduct of the ex
pedition TO be sent for the relief of the Greelv
party. In their opinion, to insure success, the
main relief party should consist of two ships,
one of these should be engaged in advance in
actual search, proceeding if necessary as far
north as Discovery Bay, whilst the other
should be used as depot ship an6 placed in
such convenient position that in case of acct
dent to the advance ship there wonld be no
necessity for her crew to retreat to the Danish
settlements in Greenland. In such an event
the officers and men of the ship DESTROYED
would merely have to fall back upon their
consort from which sledging expeditions could
be dispatched in quest of Lieut. Greely and
party. These vessels should be provisioned
for at least two years. The writers think there
is great probability that Lieut.. Greely,s party
has already left Discovery Bay, and adopting
this view, one of the ships should be dispatch
as early as the first of May, 1884, certainly not
later, to Godhavn in Greenland to push on as
early as possible TO Upernavik, SO as to meet
Lieut.. Gr5ey should he have been successful
In finding his way south to any of the Danish
settlements. If he has not done so it is quite
possible that he may have passed the winter
somewhere between Cape York and Lifeboat
CoTes, therefore II is very desirable that this
region should be searched early in the season.
If Lieut.. Greely's party is not found near Cape
York, it might then be well to search Cary f.
lands and the coast line to the northward, ev-
cry endeavor being made to communicate with
Esquimaux, who will be sure to hay yestidiDgs of
the absent party should they have been ia the
vicinity. The two relief vessels should time
their arrival at Upernayik about the fsrst week
Of July and in the event of getting no tidings
of Greeig's safety should proceed to the north
ward in company.

STAR ROUTES.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Mr. Pratt, con-
tractor on a Star route between New Orleans
and Columbia, Miss, denied absolutely that
he ever made statement to Inspector Wood

Mr.. Ellis with any contract No such trans
action had ever occurred with Mr.. Ellis.
William A. Cook continued his testimony
to-day before Mr.. Springer's committee. He
thought there was no necessity for the police
court proceedings, which4sontinued about two
months. For this service, witness said, Mr.
Bliss received 5000 or $1,000. He himself
claiming that his services we're CT the same
character as those performed by Bliss, he pre-
pared o bill for $2500 for about the same
period. The trial of those indicted, Cook be-
lieved, was unnecessarily protraeted and said
that the length of the trial was due to con-
glomerated indictments.

"He would not ike to assume the respons-
hility for that statement" suggested Mr..

witness replied,
Witness referred to his testimony yesterday

President Garfield was shot the Attorney Gen

Cook asked to be excused until tomorrow
that he might appear before snother commit
tee to-day.
"What more do you want of the witness.
Mr.. Chairman" asked Mr.. Stewart, che has
already told al he knew and more too.'
"You dsn't know that, interposed Cook.
"a vast deal of what the witness ssys,"
continued Mr. Stewart, "is not of any use to
this committee. We are supposed to be in
vestigating the expenses of the Star route
trials aud good faith of the government coun-
sci. Personal gossip of this enc and tnat one
may be interesting political matter, but it is of
no use to u.s."
Mr.. Cook was excused until tomorrow and
Mr. Gibson was recalled. He testified con-
cerning the indictments against Bfott and
