FOOD FOR THouGHT.

Food for tue body is the frs
thought, and the mode ofits prep
laration the Irext. In this there is |
degree of carelessness that amount
to criminality; for not only health
but life is involved. There is n vas
difference between living to eat, tn,
aim of the glutton, and eating tt
live, thereby not only meeting the
demands of nature, but the COM
mand of the Creator; for all mar
kind are created for a purpose. But
the physical qualification for this
purpose is attempted in so headlong
and careless a member as to seem
to be the most trivial and
inconsequential. The prepara ton
OF food seems to be regarded by
some as humiliating, not in
Selation to the menial duty
.ofcooking, but because it suggests
an animal relation to proud ihtel-
lectual being; and disliked by oth>
ers, because OF the consum ption of
otherwise valuable time. In many
cases it is pat upon those who are
not aware of the complicated struc-
ture and delicate functions IF the
human franc. ami how much de-
pends, not only upon the food ma
terial, but upon its condition for
ready healthful assimilation. It is
to these that we owe the ready ac-
ceptance of the nostrums which GU
pidity, under the name of science,
has provided to tighten labor, and
save time and trouble. From such
come soda, and baking powders, and
all those things which displace the
good old housewifely ways, and
leave train Of i'll health and death
behind them.
We gladl extract the following
from an article by DR.. Satchwcll, q
most sensible as we'll as scientific
North Carolina physician:
The writer only utters the truth
ofscience and the experience of
himself and ..othcr medical observ
ers ofNorth Carolina in declaring his
solemn conviction that much of the
dyspepsia as well as no little of
consumption, and Bright's disease,
and other disorders of our State,
originate, and are aggravated by,
the constant unwholesonle medica-
ton ofthe daiir bread ofour people
in the fashionable use OF baking
powders.
As, an efficient substitute let us
return to the common sense prac>
tice, and tilne-honored custom of
ctr aaeestefS, of using yaasl4-0 0Gy
mothers and grand-mothers could |
make better and more healthy bread |
than their sue. .'essurs, and excrlled
them in other matters of cooking
Their netho,ls and operations in
these, a. well as in other affairs Of
life, were in general, more sensible |
and healthy tiiaii those embraced |
in the excessive refnemen;s and
unhealthy ia ilions of this ever fast
age.

One of the most remarkable men
in the British Parliament is Joseph
Arch. Fifteen years ago Arch was
a common farm laborer, supporting
his wife and family on four dollars
week. His wife could read and
write when he married her, and
she taught him all she knew. After
learning to read, Arch spent his
nights reading everything he could
get hold of. He began organizing
labor unions among the farmers
and speaking to them, This made
him disliked by the landlords, and
it was difficult matter for him to
get work. Last summer the new
franchise bill made voters ofS00,S
600 tenant farmers, and Arch for the
first time found himself freeman.
With pfucky audacity, this newly
emancipated seIf stood Tor parlia
ment, and was elected over the
great Tory magnate, Lord Henry
Bentinck.
