CORN AS FOOD.

The real value of corn as food is little appreciated in Europe and perhaps not enough even in this country. It is almost as "good as wheat" Chemical analyses conducted by the agricultural department show that, while the water contained in corn is slightly less in proportion than in wheat, and the ash slightly less. and the crude carbo hydrates but slightly more in proportion, the proportion of oil or fat is 5.1 per cent. against 216 per cent. in wheat, the proportion of albuminoids is l0.46 per cent. in corn against 11.95 per cent. in wheat, and the proportion of di- gestible carbohydrates 7o.69 per cent. against 71.9S per cent in wheat. That is, roughly speaking, corn contains more than 6ve-sixths as much of the albuminoids, not two per cent. less of the digestible carbo-h o-hydrates, and twice as large proportion of the fats. In nutri- tive value, then, it cannot with any scien- tiic reason be reckoned that corn is worth less than fve-sixths of wheat, and yet it's price for many years has ranged more nearly half that of wheat per bushel.
 The average price of wheat for the past twenty years has been trifle over s1 10 bushel, and of corn about 59 cents. Be- ing nearly fifty per cent. cheaper, and only about sixteen per cent. inferior in nutri- tive value, it is wonder that corn has not long been favorite article of food in countries where laboring classes have been forced to practice close economy. That it Is not shows what queer and expensive thing prejudice may be.

ELEAZAR IT. FITCH. "Like crowded forest trees we stand And each is marked to fall:
 The axe will smite at Gods command, And soon will smite us all''
 It is not often that New Haven is SC

 Fitch has gone in and out among
 the people of New Haven for
 many years very quietly and un-
 obtrusively, but his fine character and genuine worth have made deep impress sion upon the community in which he has lived and worked. He was a model citi- zen, loyal to every obligation, true and constant in friendship, full of good deeds, and his whole life was inspired and guided by deep religious feeling. His career as a business man was one of which New Haven is and should be proud. He believed in the old-fashioned business virtues and he practiced them thoroughly. And he did not look upon his employees solely as material to make money out of. He was considerate of their welfare. just and generous, in his dealings with them. There will be real mourning among them to-day, for they have lost friend. His memory will be long and sincerely cherished by them. .... ..--..
 New Haven cannot we'll spare such. men as MT. Fitch. They are too few in any community. But God disposes, and it is cause for thankfulness that we have mad his life and example.

HENRY G. LEWIS.

The news of the death of Henry G.
 Lewis will be shock to the many who
 were accustomed to meet him daily in his
 walks abroad, and who have yet hardly
 missed him, so short has been his absence
 It will be hard for them to realize that
 they will see him no more.
 Mir. Lewis has played conspicuous and influential part in the affairs of New Haven, the city which he knew and loved as few of its inhabitants know and love it. Broad minded and liberal, and full of faith in New Haven, he did not hesitate when he was mayor to urge forward improvement after improvement. It was during his occu- panoy of the mayors chair that New Haven really changed from a town to a city, or, as some might say, from village to city. He WAS foremost in the work of improving the streets, perfecting the sewer system and in other work which much needed to be done. His zeal was man. fest to all men, and his ambi- tion for New Haven was large and enthusiastic. He was justifably proud of what he accomplished, and his interest in the city for which he did so much was not lessened by his retirement from office. He was always talking about New Haven and always planning for it.
 Personally MT. Lewis was one of the most agreeable of men. He had kindly, sympathetic nature. He liked to min gle with his fellow citizens and to talk with them upon the subjects which were ever uppermost in his mind. We do not suppose that he had an enemy. Everybody liked him, and he was better and more generally known than perhaps any other citizen of New Haven. He was friendly and generous, fond of good works and quick to condemn injustice and wrong. His last illness was short, and his end peaceful. May he rest we'll

suoFeutloneu tneaIere, Gne C0med1e Fran : caise, the Opera and the Opera Comiqu, have always enforced the rule that the
 orchestra and the parterre should be re
 served solely for men, women being per
 mittsd to occupy only seats in the balcony
 and the boxes. The strength of this tradi.
 tion has long since been lost in the other
 theaters, where women are permitted on
 the floor. What a marked change this
 makes in the character and appearance of
 the Opera Comique audiences can be ap-
 preciated only by those who have fre-
 quented it's performances. The habitues
 are understood to be protesting vigorously
 against the change, and the newspapers
 have already entered on discussion of
 hats in the theaters, question which has
 not hitherto had much prominence in | Paris.
 Lieutenant E. M Weaver of the Second
 artillery has something which is worth at tention to say concerning what forts on
 Race Rock, Valiant Rock, Little Gull Island and the southern point of Fishers Island would do. He says: Within the past year the point has been examined on the spot by one of the best practical mili- tary engineers of the Army with view to it's defensibility. This officer gives it as his professional opinion that the defense is feasible and ought to be made. :. If it be granted that the eastern entrance to the sound is susceptible to defense, it is clear that number of advantages will follow. Looked at in broad way, it practically makes New York an inland city along this approach. Furthermore, it &C., complishes the defense of New London and all other cities along the sound. It would offer also safe refuge for all coast ing vessels. No point along our entire coast can, by it's defense, cover so many interests and protect so great an amount of property. It must needs be that 20 important locality will receive the atten- tion it deserves.
