Tho Science of Hippophapy.

The science of hippophagy is not under
stood in this country, where a handsome for
trlne could be made if people would only
consume the many horses which are turned
into soap and butter on account of having
broken q leg on slippery Streets Americans
do not relish the idea Of dining on horse flesh,
but 7, who tried it long before the siege of
Paris made the diet compulsory, can attest
to the fact that the meat is tender like veal,
and far better than stringy beef, which is SO
common in this country. Then, the crop of
burros is so large that there is no means of
utilizing them. Why not send them to the
slaughter house, and get back a nice little
carcass so tender, juicy and sweet that you
would pronounce the meat better than the
choicest spring lamb. ate asses at Paris,
but in Mexico my mouth watered when saw
those fat little donkeys at every station we
passed Not wasting any strength or mus
cular energy in frisky antics, they pile on
alternate layers Of flesh and fat that would
please any epioure If he was ignorant of their
origin. In Paris there are thirty-six licensed
vendors of horse meat and asses flesh When
ever an accident occurs by which horse is
famed the nearest butcher is called, He kills
the PROSTATE animal, bleeds him, and pre-
pares the carcass for sale. Parisians have no
prejudice on this score, but on the American
continent beef, toughened by Texas northers
or Montana billiards., is preferred. -Vincent

That what his wondrous mind has planned and

And what His wondrous skill and love have
wrought,
Will Away last, in spite OF flood or flame,
And be eternal as His holy name.

To be the victor never more again;
That life immortal. never can be lost,
Though dear eyes close and loving hands be

Nol anything to nothingness return,
While God shall live, and lights in heaven

Our treasures here must yield to moth and rust,
And we must die and turn again to dust.
But God has said-and he will prove it true
Behold, my children, 1 make all things new,
Through all the universe will sound his voice,
Bidding all souls that he has made rejoice,
When from the dust there shall at last arise
All good, all precious things beneath the skies.

worth Thinking About"
Editor Vindicator

Editor Vindicator
The article, which appeared in the VIM
DICTATOR of the 18th inst, under the above
title, has been duly thought upon; and the
conclusion we reach is, that the writer had
not seriously considered the subject him
self
While we feel the sincerest interest in
the "Home Mission" work, we find it hard
to understand how any one can deem it
expedient to lessen the work in foreign
lands, or delude themselves with the idea
that the home work would be promoted by
SO doing.
The Master in giving the command, $50
ye into all the world, &c." certainly did
not mean that the ''home" field should be
neglected, but emphasized the fact that
they were to begin lat Jerusalem. "
Now, the question is, Whether in expend-
ing the thousands to ''hunt the heather
out of the jungles," we are wholly or in
part neglecting the "heathen" at home.
In order to come to fair decision we
would like an answer to the following
queries:
How far was the poor ignorant soul men
toned from the house of God where SER
vices were held, at least, once during the
week?
How fer from the Sunday School where
the poorest are welcome !? How far from
the school where fair education could be
had for naught but the labor of studying
How far from the store where Testa
ment could be bought for ten cents?
How far from a Christian man who
might have taught him to pray, and per-
haps did try to lead him to the Light
Are Public School houses to be built in
each mans front yard and his children
forced into them?
Are men to be supported in each neigh
borhood whose whole business is to be to
drag to church and Sunday School those
who have the Gospel privileges within
reach
Are we, in order to do this, to cut short
the meager contributions that are sent to
spread, in the dark jungle" teemlng with
millions of Immortal souls, the light of the
Gospel and the knowledge of the name of
Christ, than which there is no other name
under heaven whereby they may be saved !?
No. If every dollar sent abroad for that
purpose was kept at home there would sill
be some men who never 60 to church,
school, or Sunday School-Wby Because
they "l00e darkness rather than light"

1t was thus that things stood when the
clank of sabres announced the close approach
of the soldiers. On, ON they came, uncon-
scious of danger, till the head of the column
had reached the rivers bank, and the officer
in command gave the word:
"Halt."
The tall form of Lem Clinton sprang into
the road. and at the same time his shriu
voice was heard clear and distinct:
s'Fire!'
And fifty bushwackers pulled the trigger
of their guns, and above the clatter and con-
fusion the voice of Lem Clinton was heard: =
''No quarterl Die, devils, die!'
This closed the career of that company.
Not one escaped to tell the tale, and that was
the last organized military of the Confeder-
acy that made an attempt to invade the
''fork. "-"Sarge" in Atlanta Constitution.
Food for the Young.
After childs first teeth come, try him
with bread and milk, then cautiously, oat-
meal, rice, wheat and similar grain foods,
one at time as you find them able to digest
them. There should be no great change of
food attempted in July or August What
ever agrees with year old child in June
should be continued the following two or
three months. A lady who believed this,
carried her plump, rosy, but teething baby
through the second summer in a city board
ing house on three meals day, of bread and
milk alone, without an idle day. But her
hard heartedness afforded constant topic to
her fellow boarders.
1t is possible, in winter, to feed child who
is more than a year old, some fruit, but this
should be suspended for the hot season. In
case of an elder child, a little of one kind of
fruit, when eaten in the morning, rarely
sickens But fruit should never be given
after 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Many a
sick night follows too hearty or too varied
supper, and the palmer the last meal of the
day, the better.
This diet may seem needlessly plain, but
we must remember that little babies have
not our cultivated appetites, and do not
crave variety as much as we do. No child
needs the stimulus of meats until he is 3 or 4
years old, unless in the form of weak broths.
Vegetables, except potatoes, and not too
much Of that and never fried, are wholly un-
suited to young child's stomach. So are
pastry, shortened cakes and rich cookies.
1t is true some children do live through all
kinds of meals, at all hours, but in regular
hours and plain diet is the only safety for
many. That the few live only proves how
long suffering is nature. Journal of
Health.

A Certain Rich Man.

There is certain rich man possessed of a
name known far and wide in the United
States, who enjoys very queer custom an
nually at the festive season. During fifty
ole weeks of every year he is a model of
sobriety, propriety and gravity; he is a man
of stern style and habit, a family man and a
graybeard, and he applies his prodigious
energies to the great business out of which
his fortune has grown. But each year, dur
ing the holiday week from Christmas to New
Years day. his family leave home and join
their relatives elsewhere, while he, having
invited half dozen boon companions, locks
up himself and party in his mansion, and has
week of high jinks in their company.
Wines and yiands of all kinds fill the dining
room; fiddles and drums decorate the draw
ing room, and madness rules the hour to such
O degree that the expense incurred for the
mending of furniture and crockery is almost
equal to the other bills of the occasion.
On the morning and the day after New
Years he parts from his companions of the
week, resumes his business with his usual
gravity, and pursues it with uninterrupted
energy through the year until the arrival of
the next holiday season. When one of his
worn out inmates, after the close of the revels
one year, made remonstrance against the
abominable practice, he replied: 81 have to
do it. I am so overburdened with business
and responsibility all the year that if I did
not let up in jamboree at its end, would
go mad. 1 let myself out by shutting myself
in at tho holidays, and then stick to bust
ness like galley slave from January to De-
cember My wife and family know that
have this weak spot in my head. New York
