use Of Concentrated Foods.

Concentrated foods. which contain an
excess of starch with too little OF the
other ingredients found in wheat, lead TO
torpor and atrophy Of the bowels, and
sooner or later there is actual disease
Constipation and rectal disorders are fast
becoming national infirmities and wher-
ever these prevail especially the first
named). you may look for what are called
nervous diseases rnd brain affections
these, later, verging toward insanity; and
following this class OF maladies, or IN con-
nection with them, we shall find paralytic
diseases. Now there is really no need Of
all this train of physical ills; we bring
these troubles upon ourselves Nature
has given MS healthful food products, and
In great abundance; but if we convert
these blessings into just the opposite, we
have only ourselves to blame.
Another foolish idea that many main
tain is that there is more actual nutrition
in meat (the flesh of animals) than there
is in grains. Never was there a greater
mistake. Turn to any reliable table CIV
ing the analysis Of foods and you will see
that the figures stand the other way;
there being three or four times the
amount of nutritive substance in wheat,
rye, oats, corn and barley than there is
in the best beef or mutton. Dried beans
and peas are far more nutritious than any
of the meats. (See Payen and other
standard authorities.) Were illustrations
needed, we have all the peasantry Of the
Old World to refer TO. Who does not
know that the hard workers the world
over live upon a dit from which meat is
practically excluded? 1t is true in Asia,
it is true in Eurore More hard, muscu
lar labor can be gotten out of piece of

Capt. Rogers. of the Monroyia, says:
Prom what have seen of the colonists
in Liberia believe their chances for sue
cess are equally as good az they would be
in the south. Il is true that the African
fever in many cases, renders them IN
capable TO work for awhile, but when
they become thoroughly acciimated they
find 10 diiiiculsy in making a living. A
large proportion of them are prosperous
and are boarding up considerable wealth.
Mrs. NJ. b. Merriman, = white mission
ary. differs materially from Capt. Rogers
and is bitter in her denunciati0n of the
cruel manner In which the negro colonists
are treated. She said: Il have been
among the negroes Of tie south, and |
have seen them at their worst. | have
been among the natives OF Africa for
years az missionary, but never have |
witnessed su,h abject poverty, squalor
and wretchedpess % prevails among the
negro colonists in Liberia. 1t is true that
the Colonization society furnishes them
with land to work and keeps them in food
for six months from their arrival. But
what does it uvail them? They are there
scarcely a month when they are stricken
down with African fever. Some of them
survive it. bat in most cases it means
death. Whel those who get well Gro
able TO 20 to work they End that their al
lotted time of support by the society
has expired and they cro paupers. This
is not always the case. While not one
has ever yet been known to escape the
fever. some Of them. who possess un.
usually good constitutions, get well end
become quite prosperous. 10 the pros
porous the paupers look for their subsist-

RELIGION of the Isnumanians.

The religion of the Roumanians is
mass of superstitons, which under the
name of Christianity dominates their en-
tire existence. Indeed, one author has
said "The whole life Of a Wallach is
taken up in devising talismans against
the devil" A Roumanian uncovers his
head on passing wayside cross, but he
makes an equally deep salutation to the
rising sun, he goes TO church on Sunday,
but it is doubtful whether he does not re-
gard Friday, which is dedicated TO Venus,
as the holier day Of the two. The ortho-
dox Roumanian regards any one who
bures q corpse without placing a coin in
the hand as a pagan. The Roumanian
churches. in contrast with the cold, bare
looking churches of the Saxons, present a
most attractive appearance, for they are
covered with artistic decorations, and are
mass of soft, warm cOloring.
Not "a corner" says Mrs. Gerard, "but
from which starts up some grinning devil,
not O nook but reveals some choleric
looking saint, till we feel ourselves TO be
