Bread for Men of Mars.
Eggs are meal in them selves. Every
element necessary to the support of man
is contained within the limits of an egg
shell, in the best proportions and in the
most palatable form. Plain boiled they
are wholesome. The masters of French
cookery, however, affirm that it is easy
to dress them in more than 500 different
ways, each method not only economical
but salutary in the highest degree. No
honest appetite ever yet rejected an egg
i'll some guiSe. 1t is nutriment in the
most portable form and in the most con-
centrated shape. Whole nations of man
kind rarely touch any other animal food.
Kings eat them plain as readily as do the
humble tradesmen. After the victory of
MuhldOrf, when the Kaiser Ludwig sat
at meal with his burggrafs and great
captains, he determined on piece of
luXury-''One egg to every man, and two
to the excellently valiant Sehwepper-
man." Far more than fish-for it is
watery diet-eggs are the scholars fare.
They contain phosphorus, which is brain
food, and sulphur, which performs a
variety of functions in the economy.
And they are the best of nutriment for
children, for, in compact form, thew
contain everything that is necessary for
the growth OF the youthful frame. Eggs
are, however, not only food-they are
medicine also. The white is the most
efficaciOuS of remedies for burns. and
the Oil eXtractable from the yelk is re-
garded by the Russians as an almost
miraculous salve for cuts, bruises and
scratches. A raw egg, if swallowed i'm
time, will effectually detach a fish bone
fastened in the throat, and the white of
two eggs will render the deadly corro-
sive sublimate as harmless as dose &C
calemel. They strengthen the consume
tive, invigOrate the feeble, and render
the most susceptible all but proof against
laundlce In its more malignant phase,
They can also be drunk in the segg
flip which sustains the oratorical ef-
forts OF modern statesmen. The merits
of eggs do nOteven end here, In France
alone the wine CHARTERS use more than
$1,000, 900 year. and the Alsatians con-
sumo fully 3S,000,0 900 in calico printing
and for dressing the leather used i'm
making the finest of French kid gloves.
Finally, not to mention various other
emplOymentS for eggs in the arts, they
may, of course, almost without trouble
on the farmers part, be converted into
fowls. which. in any shape, are profitable
to the seller and welcome to the buyer.
Even egg shells are valuable, for allo-
path and hOmeopath alike agree in re-
gardIng them as the p1Erest of carbonate
of lime.-LOndon Standard.
All the garrisons within the limit
OF the Seventh army corps Uower
Rhine and Westphalia) have now been
provided with larger samples of the new
article of food which is in future to form
the so-called ''iron ration" of the men
in the field. 1t is a peculiar kind of
bread i'll the shape of small cubes the
size OF chocolate drop, made of fine
wheat Hour, strongly spiced, and cal
culated to keep for a long time. When
taken into the mouth it quickly softens,
and is both palatable and nutritious.
1t is chiefly intended for forced marches,
when there is no time for camping and
cooking. Berlin Tageblatte.
