THE LANE LECTURES.

DR.. Steele's Discourse on the Foods of
Various Nations.
The regular semi-monthly lecture of the
Lane series was delivered in the lecture
rooms Of the Cooper Medical College last
night by DR.. c. II. Steele, professor of ma
terra mediea. The subject OF the discourse,
1.-THE Food of Various Nations" was an in
teresting one and secured an unusually
large attendance.
DR.. Steele dwelt at length upon the neces-
sity OF being well acquainted with the diff
ferent foods, their composition, their prepa-
ration, their nutritive power and the facl-
ity with which each article of food can be
digested. This knowledge, said the speaker,
is Indispensable to any person having de-
sire 10 enjoy good health. Speaking more
especially Of meats and the various stages
Of decay in which they are sometimes used
as food, the speaker strongly advocated a
State appropriation for post. norton exam
nations OF every animal slaughtered and
offered for sale by the butchers rs the only
way to effectually prevent the trans mission
of disease TO human beings from diseased
animals.
The doctor quoted numerous instances
from the Scriptures in which the people
were directed to avoid certain articles of
Hood as UNIV hOles0me, and again TO use
others. lie then d@elt at length upon the
peculiar liking Of barbarous people for food
IN an advanced state OF decay The Ameri-
can Indian. for instance, knows of no
greater delcacy than the heart and liver of
q salmon which has been buried under
ground Tor number Of months, until in an
advanced state OF putrefaction, when It is
eaten with the greatest relish. the world
renowned StTasbourg pate-de-foie-gras,
said the speaker, so highly relished by cpl
cures among civilized people, is nothing
more than an abnormally developed aud dis
eased liver Of the goose.
The speaker then discoursed on the
adaptability of various animals for food.
and gave his hearers an idea of their rela-
tive nutritive powers and methods OF
preparation for the table.

Two Men Arrested on Suspicion
Of Numbering Him.

There is a mystery about the disappear

ing lard to unravel. ConnOrs has been
well-known ornament of the Washington

Of lOngshOreman and general loafer, alter
mating with periodical and enforced alb.
sences as the penalty Of drunken spells.
When Connors was not under the influ-
ence of liquor he was a decent, easy-going,
good natuTed fellow, but whenever he was
not broke" he was liable to be trouble
same. Last Saturday he imbibed quite
freely Of waterfront whisky and steam beer,
with occasional free lunches of clam chow
der and limburger cheese. On Sunday
morning he was visible at his accustomed
haunts, evidently under the influence of
1.-THE rosy" but since then he has not been
seen.
Certain suspicious circumstances led Cap
tain Dunleavy TO the belief that ConnOrs
has been the victim Of foul play, and though
the ciTcumstantial evidence is of the weakest
kind and the body of Connors has not
been found, George Hanson aud William
Hayes, both longshoremen. were arrested
yesterday afternoon and lodged in the cells
