The subject of food has never yet re-
ceived n common sense consideration.
There iSno doubt but n vast amount of
wholesome food products are yet over
looked. During the grasshopper in
vasion it was proved by Professor Riley
and some of our normal school teachers
that such creatures may serve as an ex-
cellcnt article of food, yet the people
preferred semi-starvation to even tasting
them. Snails are Injuries in France. 1t
was long before frogs found n market in
this country. Mr.. Wallace tells us eggs
are never eaten by Pacific Islanders.
Strawberries are rejected by some of the
tropical races. Esquimaux reject all
vegetable food. The people of New
Guinea pronounce bread a detestable
affair. Milk is used very little in some
of our southern states, as it is seldom
tasted by tribes in Africa that keep large
herds. One tribe in New Guinea abhors
sugar, but devours salt. Snakes are an
article of diet quite largely in Asia

"New York is one of the healthiest
cities in the country" said n doctor re-
Gently.
''llow is this?' asked q reporter to
whom he addressed the remark.
Because it is so near the sea-"
What has the sea to do with the
health of New York city?"
"a great deal. The sea purifies the
air. The air of the sea, taken at a great
distance from land OF even on the shore
aud in ports when the wind blows from
the open sea, is in an almost perfect state
of purity. A breeze blowing over a con-
tincnt drives before it an atmosphere al
ways impure, but all these impurities
disappear before 1t has gone s~eventy-fve
miles N to,sea. The sea rapidly puri-
flies the pestilential atmosphere of CONT
ncnts."
There is no fear, then, of cholera
being waited across the ocean from in
tested European ports7n
None at all. An eXpanse of water
like the Atlantic is an absolute obstacle
to the propagation of epidemics. New
York is coast, as you know, and very
often q fresh wind blows in from the sea.
These sea breezes kill all impurities in
h region which they traverse. Our
health department may be n good one,
but nature, by mean of o good sea
breeze, keeps New York purer than o

/ beg n small space to give my per-
eonal knowledge of the effects of the vine
on different persons. I had n brother
who was very sensitive to its effects. If
he came into contact with the smoke in
burning brush in the spring, when repair
ing the fences of the farm (which usu
ally had n deal of the vine running on
them), all that portion OF his body that
was exposed to the smoke became much
swollen, and it took a long time, with
much medical skill, to give him relief.
He made n visit to California in 1859,
and on his return l was surprised to see
HIM walk up to an ivy vine and bite off
and eat the twigs, and rub them over his
face II arms. He explained that dur
ing his stay in the gold mines he got in
contact with the ivy and became ter
ribly poisoned, SO much so that he was
perfectly blind. An Indian who was
there said he could cure him. lie got
some of the young shoots of tho ivy and
bruised them and made two guilds, put
them into his mouth and told him 10
chew and swallow the juice, which he
did. and was n well man in n few hours.
L had two sons, at that time about 8
and G years old; they We're present at the
time, and seeing their uncle eat the ivy,
SO soon MS they were alone, got to eating
it. They came to the house with a
bunch of the twigs, and l was much
alarmed to see them with it, but it had
no bad effects, and they are now men,
and can handle it with impunity. Idare
not go where it is, and l have two other
boys that are like me; but l cannot sum-
mon courage enough to try the remedy.
Perhaps some of your readers who are
afflicted can. 1 give simple facts in the
case for the curious test. The remedy is
alleged to be permanent and to render
the patient ''ironclad' to all future con-
tact with ivy.-''S. E. R." in Scientific

Marion HarIand's Opinion of Bak-
ing Powders.

Our readers have doubtless noticed the
and hygienists as to the relative value of
the various baking powders. A careful
sitting of the evidence leaves no doubt as
to the superiority of the Royal Baking
Powder in purity, wholesomeness and
strength, from a scientific standpoint.
An opinion. however, that will weigh
heavier than any other with our practical
house-keepers, is that given by Marion
Harland, the best known and most popu-
lar of American writer's upon matters
pertaining to the science of domestic
economy, of housekeeping, and home
cooking In recent letter to the Phila-
delphia Ladies Home Journal, this writer
says

the best manufactured and in the market,

Despite the despicable attacks up
on Mr.. Parnell and the cause he es-
pouses, the Irish movement gains
strength with each new trouble, with
each new election, and, though pass
ing through temporary fiery FUR
mace, it is reasonable to suppose that
it will take but few years more to
bring about the adoption of home
rule. Meanwhile the evictions Will
continue, Parnellites will be black
mailed. men who exercise the rights
of free speech will languish in jail.
All this persecution will be, as it has
been, brought about by a govern
ment that is earnestly and anxlously
watching the United States, as bird
watches its prey, hoping that by the
votes of these very down-trodden
Irish, who have been forced from
1 her shores to America, to secure an
adoption of the fallacions free-trade
/ idea that will enable it to throttle
American industries. 1t looks no"

in in November, and that its cherish
ed hopes of help from Irish Amerl'
cans will be ruthlessly shattered.

The Conkling contingent will go
strong for Harrison and Morton, and
will be an immense help. These two
facts, together with the democratic
detection. will cause Cleveland to re-
ceive less votes than he got before.

John Sherman Talks.

PrrrsBURG, PENN, July 9.-Sena-
tor John Sherman passed through
this city last night on his way to
Washington. The senator was quite
talkative. He said: "The tariff bill
which Mr.. Mills has gotten up for
the purpose of protecting our home
industries will likely pass the house,
but it will be greatly modified. The
democrats will consent to the modifi-
cation willingly, because they have
become alarmed and wish to pose
now as protectionists.
The bill will never pass the senate,
even in its modified form. l feel
very favorable to the tariff measure
which Senators HiscOck and Hoal
will introduce. 1t reduces the reye'

to raising, everything, in Vermont.
In fact our prosperity depends almost
entirely on the prosperity of the
states which are most largely engaged
in manufacturing enterprises. Hos
tile as the proposed democratic tariff
bill is to other sections, no section
could suffer more from its enactment
into law than Vermont and New
England. Our only hope and saliva
ton is in the fact that Congress is
not entirely in the power of the free
traders of the south.
