Coethe,s Digestive Capacity.

According to the bills of fare preserved
in the city archives at Jena, Goethe was
in the habit of dining exceedingly well.
He also liked company ut dinner, for,
during the period covered by the bills
when he had not one guest with him, he
had three. He always had four courses,
and sometimes more, the dishes of his
choice being such as roast beef and roast
pork OH the same day; soups with dump
ling, and sirloin with ancbovy sauce,
with roasted pigeons and roast mutton
to follow, the dinner rather of glutton
than Of poet. For week and more
he dined in this fashion, the bill only
coming to little more than e3. 1t is
satisfactory to know that this really
great man could dine well, and was not
q querulous and dyspeptio wreck, though
it is not SO pleasant to know that the
poet squabbled with the landlord ovor
tho items, and even went to law with
him on tho subject. Life.

L,fe of German Peasants.

Let us suppose now, for q moment, we
are living in q German village. AT
o'clock you will sec the farmer take his
first meal, consisting Of weak coffee,
which is very often composed of coffee
and roasted wheat, and in which milk is
largely used. He will take to this coffee
some slices of brown bread (corn bread
with jam, or with butter, Lard, etc. At
8 O'Clock another meal will be served,
for as people had already done some hard
work by that time they want another
meal. This second breakfast may con-
sist of slices of brown (rye) bread with
butter and ham, or butter and cheese, or
butter with eggs, or bread with bacon or
sausage only, to which as rule by the
male members of the family-very sell
dom by fe;nales-either small glass of
'.schnaps" (corn brandy or some very
weak beer is partaken of.
An average peasant family, number
ing five heads, would about consume per
year, two fat pigs. four or five geese,
perhaps few ducks, about half dozen
old hens and q dozen young ones, two
dozen young pigeons. Pork is in stock
all the year round, as well in form Of the
well known sausage" as in the shats
Of bacon, ham, etc. 1t will be smoked
in order to keep. AS to the vegetables
used, / must say people know better to
appreciate their value than in England
or America. 1t is really astonishing to OBJ
serve the ignorance which prevails here,
especially among the poorer classes in
England, upon such matters. There are
thousands of people in England, who
never saw in their lives q Haricot bean,
pea or turtle-living on nothing but NUT
ton chops, beefstcak, pie and cheese
This is entirely different in Germany.
Cereals and pulses are largely used, and
there is a healthy variety in the bill ol
fare. 1t will not happen very often that
the same dish is served for dinner twice
q week. remember having read once
in a medical book-I forget whether il
was by Professor Cork or Redam-that til,
rural people in Thurvingia and Saxonia
had the best natural instinct for the choice
of their foods, and that the mixture OBJ
served by this people could be put dowi
as standard for any other people by
any physician.-Pupke in Herald O

proecryat,ou o: Meat by sucnr

Il results from a special report made 20
the French minister of agriculture that
sugar is an excellent agent for preserving
meat, and possesses some advantage over
salt. In fact, salt absorbs portion OF
the nutritive substances and of the flavor
of meat. When an analysis is made Of
solution of the salt dissolved by water
contained in meat, we find albuminoid
bodies, extractive substances, potslssa
and phosphoric acid. Salt deprives meat
of these substances SO much tho moro
readily in proportion as it enters the It's
sues more deeply or acts for a longer
time. 1t then results that the meat
when taken from the saline solution, has
lost nutritive elements of genuine ina
portance.
| Powdered sugar, on the contrary, being
less soluble, produces less liquid. 1t
forms around tho meat solid crust,
which removes very little water from it
and does not alter its taste. Thus pre-
served. it suficcs to immerse the meat
in water before using it. Although this
treatment costs a little more than pres
ervation by salt, account must be taken
of the final result and of the loss pre-
vented, which offsets the difference in
cost between the two prcservative agents.

by this.-Revue Generate do Ia Marine

Killing Herself with Cloves.

A physician of this city says that
one Of the strangest cases that has
come under his observation in prac-
tice is o young lady who is addicted to
the habit Of chewing cloves. For sew
eral years her friends and physicians
havo been fighting to break her of a
habit which she carries to such excess
that her life will be the penalty paid.
At times she breaks herself of the
habit for few weeks, but sooner or
later steals away to buy a quantity of
the cloves. She has been known to
dispose of quarter of pound in q
day Druggists have be. been warned not
many stores whose proprietors have
not been called upon that she has nc
difficulty in obtaining q supply. Elk.
cess in the use of cloves is considered
more harmful to the system than the
use of opium. York Graphic.

TIE mountains of Peru constitute what
might he appropriately called "Quinine
land" There the cinchona reaches per-
fection when it Is not disturbed by tho
axes of the cascarilleros on bark searchcrs,
and there the rich lanceolato leaves OF
the healing tree reflect the golden beama
Of a tropical sun. Almost constantly ex-
petitions leave Cuzco and other Peruvian
cities in search of the cinchona tree. Tho
most of these are conducted with great
secresy, for the discovery Of q good group
of cinchonas is sure to make the fortune

An Army of Bears.

The peasants of the villages in tne
Russian government of Olonets are ex-
pecting great things from the sports
mems attachments which have re-
Gently been introduced into the army.
1t appears that the district is overr,in
with bears, and that in a number Of
villages the inhabitants are literally
afraid to go out of their own four
walls The cattle which had been
grazing on the meadows in the vast
forest surrounding the district have
all been devoured; there is neither
horse nor bull to be found with which
to plow fields, and not a peasant dares
turn out for the gathering of the an
nual harvest of mushrooms and ber-
ries in the woods. The village of We
hkogul is quite besieged by an army
Of bears, and the local authorities are
utterly helpless before such an enemy.
A sportsmen's detachment has, how
ever, been ordered to the district, and
it is to be hoped that tho beleaguered
mouiiks will soon be rescued from
their uncomfortable position in dis
trict cncircled and overrun by bears

The Feeling in Saxony.

The Saxons, although now under
the protection of the Prussian flag, do
not all take in the most kindly way to
their protectors, Tho writer talked
with members of different classes in
Dresden, Leipsic, Frankfort and other
Saxon cities and heard remarks which
were anything but complimentary to
the Germans and the present emperor.
In case of war they owe allegiance to
Germany and must fight, but they
like to indulge in the belief that they
are a separate power and kingdom,
They retain their old flag, and at rail
way stations and public buildings it
floats side by side with the Prussian
colors. Everywhere do you hear re-
grets for the death of Emperor Fred
erick. It is believed generally ON the
continent and in England that not
only Prussia but the whole world is a
loser by his death. Nobody seems to
know exactly what will be the policy
of the young emperor. 1t is like sit
ting near o barrel Of gunpowder; you
don't know when it may explode
