What . Drawing-Room Is.

In correct language there can only
be withdrawing room when there is
another company room in use as par
lor-the drawing-room being an inner
and grander apartment. Houses of
good style content themselves with
dining and sitting rooms, and parlor
for company. Things go by proper
ton, and small house may have a
very elegant inner drawing-room, still
it is a sound principle to 60 upon that
o drawing-room supposes at least three
other well-furnished receiving rooms
in common use, and it is hardly worth
while to give the name to any room
less than 25x40 furnished in handsome
style. The habit Of calling by this
name the single apartment beside the
dining and living room which belongs
to every small cottage is paltry affec-
tation which BELTS tie vulgar attorn-
cys' and cheap doctors families in
English novels. The word is mouth
filling like gentlewoman, which ought
to be written, but never spoken, for it's
clumsiness. and has the disadvantage

The Object Of Eating.

We eat for warmth and strength;
hence almost all articles of food have
both these elements; have carbon to
warm, and nitrogen to strengthen, to
give power to work. Butter, sugar and
oils are almost all carbon. All breads
and grains are mainly carbon. Meats,
flesh of all kinds, abound in nitrogen.
Food which has most nitrogen is most
nutritious" Butter has eighty three
per cent. of carbon and no nitrogen; an
egg has no carbon and twenty per
cent. of nitrogen. Milk contains
two parts warmth and n of
strength. Bread contains one part
of nitrogen and eight of carbon.
1t is thus seen that III reference to eat
ing, carbon which is charcoal fuel
and warmth ere che and the same thing;
while nitrogen-which is in effect salt
petre-gives flesh or muscle, which are
one and the same thing in substance
with strength. 1t is also seen that most
articles of food have more carbon or
warmth than nitrogen or strength,
showing that it takes more to keep us
warm than to keep us strong. A seden-
tary person requires, In round numbers,
ab6nt one pound of food a day, while a
hard working man requires two pounds;
this two pounds of food gives out power
enough-as steam in an engine gives out
power-to raise a man of average weight
eleven miles high. But calling the two
pounds 5 900 grains, only 300 grains of it
are nitrogen, the remainder that is, six
teen times more of warmth is required
than of strength-producing food. One
practical result is, that as the world be-
comes more thickly populated, the
necessity increases of economizing food /;
of adapting it to the various needs of
the system as modified by age, sex, DC
cupation and season. Persons living in
doors should not eat more than half as
much as those who work hard. LESS
warming food should be eaten in hot
weather than in cold. If we eat an ex-
cess of warming food In hot weather we
have to work it out OF the system at a
great expenditure of strength and until
it is worked off we feel full and feverish
and oppressed; on the other hand, in
winter we require an additional quantity
of warming food, hence our instincts
lead to eat heartily of pork, and buck
wheat cakes, and butter, and molasses,
which are almost purely carbon. In
warm weather we need cooling food, and
Providence sends us in profusion the
fruits, and the berries, and the green
things, which have no carbon at all and
while our appetite for them is
the very idea of fatty food isnauseating.

A Perfect Marriage.

Theodore Parker writes: Young peO-
pie marry their Opposites IN tempera-
ment and character, and such marriages
are generally good ones. They do it in :
stinctively. The young man does not
say, my black eyes require to be wed
with blue, and my -vehemence re-
quires to be a little modified with some
what OF dizziness and reserve" When
these opposites come together to be wed
they do not know it, but each thinks the
other just like himself. Old people
ever marry their opposites, they
marry their simllars, and from calcula-
ton. Each of these two arrangements
is very proper. In their long journeys
these opposites will fall out by the way
a great many times, and charm the 9TH
er back again, and by-and-by they will
be agreed as to the place they will go to,
and the road they will go by, and both
become reconclled. The man Will be
nobler and larger for being associated
with so much humanity unlike himself,
and she will be a nObler woman for hav-
ing manhood beside her that seeks to
correct her DEFICIENCIES and supply her
with what she lacks, if the diversity be
not too great, and if there be real gener-
osity and love in their hearts to begin
with. The old bridegroom, having a
much shorter journey to make, must as
sociate himself with one like himself.
A perfect and complete marriage is, per
haps, as rare as personal beauty. Men
and women are married fr~actionally,
now a small fraction then a large hac-
ton. Very few are married totally,
and then only, I think, after some forty
or fifty years of gradual approach and
experiment. Such a large and sweet
fruit is a complete marriage that it
needs a very long summer to ripen it
and then a long winter 20 mellow and
season. But a real, happy marriage of
love and Judgment between a noble
man and woman is one of the things SO
very handsome that if the sun were, as
the Greek poets tabled, a god, he might
stop the world in order to feast his eyes
with such a spectacle,

Country Roads, Sample Case1.

An instance of the bad way in which
country roads are managed was cited at
a recent meeting of Wisconsin farmers.
The soft ground just below a steep hill
was annually ploughed and piled up in
the center of the track. And lest drivers
might choose to pass on the smooth sod
by the roadside, that was ploughed too.
Just above, on the hill, was plenty of
hard earth and gravel which could have
been placed below by a few rods haul
ing, greatly to the benefit of both parts
of the road, but it was never thought
of.
Another instance shows the disregard
of distance and grade. A much used
road near Madison, travelled from the
earliest settlement of the county, over
forty years, ran ~diagonally to the sec
ton lines forming the hvpothenuse of
a triangle. The owner of the farm
through which it passed requested the
board to change it so as to combine a
little poor land into n piece, and they
did so. relaying the road over the Sec
ton line, and over a high hill, at great
expense to the town. So now, all
teams no matter how heavily loaded,
are cruelty compelled to climb that hill
taking the two sides of the triangle in
stead of the old easy level and short
cut.

The st. Louis Republican reports
that the farmers in northern Missou-
ri have begun to turn their atten-
tiOn in the same direction, and
says that if one-half the money and
labor expended last year in raising Mis-
souris crop or IS, 900 900 bushels of
wheat had been given to dairying, the
net result would have been double. 1t
argues that 1.-The markets of the world
are glutted with wheat, but the more
butter and cheese produced, the more
there is consumed-the demand keep
ing pace with and even outstripping
the supply There is commonly a
market for good dairy products at re-
munerative prices, but it is doubtful If
the average profits have been greater
than those gained from wheat, taking a
period of ten years together. The pro-
duction of good butter is not altogeth-
er a matter of disposition. Much de-
ponds upon the pasturage, the
water, and climatic conditions. The
dairying belt is as restricted as the wheat
belt, taking the whole country togeth-
er. The sections adapted to it can
make the industry profitable. 1t is
doubtful if the other sections can do so.
The older settled portions of the West
are experiencing from the cheap and
virgin fields in the Northwest the stress
of the competition by which they forced
the farmers of the Eastern and Middle
States to abandon grain growing as a
reliance, and diversity their produc-
tons. History is repeating itself in
compelling them to adopt a similar
policy.-Boston Herald.

before, and begin now. You who do
not need these hints may not think they
mean you, but there are enough who do
need them.

they will warm and get ready to sprout
