This powder possesses some advan-
tages peculiar to itself which commend
it to all lovers of wholesome bread, bis
cult, etc. 1t is the invention of Prof.
Horsford, of Cambridge, the wellknown
authority on the cereals and their con-
version into bread. The object of the
invention was to restore to the flour the
nutritious phosphates lost with the
bran in the process of boiling, and to
produce light, sweet and nutritious
bread, biscuits, etc., that could not be
excelled. 1t is well known that the
nutritious elements of. the wheat are
the phosphates, and that the larger por-
ton of these phosphates are contained
in the bran which is removed from the
-four in the process of boiling. Expert
ments on dogs and other animals show
that the whole wheat grain will sustain
life, but white -four alone, will not.
Prof. Horsford restores these phosph-
ates and thus renders the bread health
ful and nutritious. There is no other
process or material for raising bread
that adds anything ola nutritive value
to the flour. octS-1mo

Huxley gives the following table of
what a full-grown man should weigh,
and how this weight should be divided:
Weight, 154 pounds. Made up thus:
Muscles and their appurtenances, 68
pounds; skeleton, "a pounds; skin, 1O4
pounds; fat, 2S pounds; brain, 8
pounds; thoraclc viscera, 81 pounds;
abdominal viscera, IL pounds; blood
which would drain from body, 7
pounds. This man ought to consume
per diem: Lean beefsteak, 5000 grains;
bread, 5000 grains; milk, 1000 grains;
potatoes, 5000 grains; butter, 600
grains; and water, 22,900 grains. His
heart should beat IS times minute,
and he should breathe Is times min
ute. In "a hours he would vitiate l.
$50 cubic feet of pure air to the extent
of per cent. A man, therefore, Of
the weight mentioned ought to have
800 cubic feet of well-ventilated space.
He would throw off by the skin 18
ounces of water, 500 grains of solid
matter, and 400 grains of carbonic acid
every "a hours, and his total loss dur
ing the "a hours would be pounds of
water, and a little above two pounds
of other matter.-Nel0 York San.

Catarrh

Cost of machine and cost per rod for
digging will be considered by the COM
mittee in making their awards, but
they will be expected to abide by the
scale of points not dividing any item
eXceht in case of actual tie.
The agent of each machine will be ex-
pected to lay 20 rods of tile and refill
the ditch by hand or machine, the OBJ
ject being to learn the entire cost per
rod of digging, laying and filling as
compared with hand work or with the
mole tile ditchers.
The object of the State Borad of Agri-
culture in holding this public field test
is to ascertain and demonstrate to the
farmers of the State whether tile ditch
ing like moving, reaping, threshing,
&C., can be done cheaper and better by
horse or steam power than by hand.
Three steam machines and two horse
power ones are already entered for the
contest, and more are expected.
A large crowd of farmers and tile
makers should witness this contest and
carefully examine the several machines
on trial.
The agricultural and county papers
will confer favor on the farmers by
calling attention to the contest.

Novel Suit by a wsfeS SF


When Is a woman to become the
equal Of a man in our courts2 BY the
oldcommon law married woman was
Ia legal nonentity. Husband and wife
were regarded as one, and that one was
the man. Her personal rights, as well
as her property, were surrendered to
him. Before the law the wife was vir-
tually slave. This barbarism has been
largely abolished by our statutes giving
to married women extensive and merit
ed rights. But every now and then a
point arises which IL not expressly
covered by statute and an attempt is
made to revive the old common law
discrimination against wife.
A case of this kind has just come be-
fore the court at Rochester. There has
never been any question as to the right
OF husband to maintain an action
against another man for the alienation
OF his wife's affection. But in the
Rochester case wife sued another wO-
man for alternating her husbands affec-
ton. Such an action is not expressly
authorized by statute, and hence the
demurrer was raised that it could not
be maintained. But Judge Macomber,
basing his decision on principle and
common sense, held that wife has just
as good right as husband to redress
for a wrong of this kind. at is the
failure of the husband to live with his
wife and his failure to support her ade-
quately," he remarks, (which may be
said to be the direct result of the action
of this defendant, and there is an in
jury, a loss, coupled with the direct
damage, the approximate cause of the
alienation of his affection by this wo-
man, and l do not see why such an
action cannot be maintained by wife
as well as n similar action can be main
tained by husband."-M Y Herald.

His Last Words.

The most touching thing in Dr.. Newman's
address, says the Portland Advertiser, is the
letter of General Grant to his wife, now made
public for the first time. Though written two
weeks before his death, he intended its contents
to be his last words on earth, and they will be
so regarded. The letter is characteristic of the
man. and no person E whose breast fingers the
least suspicion of the authors integrity could
retain that suspicion after reading those words
which breathe the soul of honor ''Be a good
man, Lockhart," was Walter Scotts dying in
junction. General Grant gives his children the
same advice in different words, and his final
farewell to his wife is affecting and pathetic as
anything In literature. The following is the
letter:
Look after our dear children and direct them
IN the path of rectitude. 1t would distress me
far more to think that one of them could depart
from an honorable, upright and yirtuous life,
than 1t would to know that they We're prostrat-
ed on bed of sickness, from which they never
were TO arise alive. They have never given us
any cause for alarm on their account and |
earnestly pray they never will.
With these few iniunctions and the know ledge
l have of your love and affection, and of the
dutlful affection of all our children, bid you II
final farewell, until we meet in another, and,
trust, better world. You will find this on my
person after my demise.
