WHAT WOMEN WANT TO KNOW.
Moral IDflnence of Cooking.
Some people may be inclined tosmile at what
am about to say, VIZ, that such sayory dishes,
serving to vary the nouotony of the poor hard
working man's ordinary fare afford consider
able moral. as we'll as physical advantage.
An instructive experience of my own will
illustrate this. When wandering alone through
Norway in 1855, I lost the track in crossing
the Kyolen field. struggled on for twenty
three hours without food or rest and
arrived in a sorry plight at LON, 3
very wild region After few hours rest,
I pushed on to still wilder region and still
rougher quarters, aud continued thus to the
great Jostedai table land, an unbroken glacier
OF 800 square miles; then descended tue JOS
tedal itself, to its opening on the Sogne ford
five days Of extreme hardship, with no other
food than fatbrod very coarse oatcake), and
bilberries gathered on the way, varied on one
occasion with the luxury of two raw turnips.
Then / re ached comparatively luxurious Sta
ton Or nneI, whore ham and eggs and ciaret
were obtatuable., The first glass Of ciaret pro-
duced an effect that alarmed me- craving for
more aud for stronger drink, that was almost
esisubie. I finished bottle Of ST. Julien,
and nothing but a violent effort of will pre-
vented mo IRON then ordering brandy.
1 attribute this to the exhaustion consequent
! upon the excessive work and ins Hicient, nusa-
worry food OF the previous FIVE days; have made
many subsequent observations OH the victims
OF alcohol, and have no doubt that overwork
and scanty, tasteiess FOOT are the primary
source Of the craving for strong drink that so
| largely prevails with such deplorable result,
! among the class that il much exposed to such
source of st1ch depraved appetite. It may also
be engendered by the opposite extreme Of
excessive luxurious panuering 10 general
sensuality. - ,-a..t
The practical inference suggested by this OK
perlence aud these observations is, that speech
making. pledge-signng aud blue-ribbon mis-
| sions can only effect temporary results unless
supplemental by satisfying tbs natural appoliso
