Common Sense and Food.

The doctors, in truth, have accumu-
lated great stock of knowledge as to
food They know what ought to be
eaten and drunk They know what
ought to be refused, and they know,
within the limits fixed by climate and
labor, what are the beneficial quantities
to be consumed, but they have entirely
failed to make their knowledge perme-
ate the world. The educated have only
glimmering ideas as to what their chill
dren should eat Half of them, till
few years ago, had a sort Of horror Of
sugar, one Of the most nourishing Of all
substances-and tie uneducated have
positively no ideas on the subject They
Just eat and give their children what
they can get 1t may be said that this is
inevitable, because the majority in all
countries are too poor to do anything
else, but is that true?
We are not pretending to be experts,
but if we understand what professionals
say much of the best food produced in
the world is also the cheapest. Oatmeal,
for example, is very much better than
wheat bread and infinitely better than
rye bread, and it is cheaper than either.
Hardly anything in the world is as
nourishing as lentils, which might be
sold much cheaper than bread, and
eaten, too, with dripping an invaluable
combination Millet, on which the big
races of India grow SO tall and strong,
might, if there were demand for it in
Europe, be far cheaper than wheat, and
SO might "corn -four" ON which Ken
tuckians, the strongest race in America,
are bred, though that requires mixtures
with less heterogeneous diet. London

Perhaps the best specimen Of wit that
has cnlivencd Hamilton county court
in many day was that emitted like a
fash from John Coffey, the attorney,
who has been guilty of good many
things that have disturbed the serenity
of bench ard bar. Mr.. Coffey was coun-
sci in case which had already been
postponed some two or three times at his
request 1t was before Judge Outcalt.
Again Mr.. Coifey asked for postpone
ment Tho court reminded him that it
had already been postponed several times
at his request.
Have you good grounds for wishing
another postponement?" asked the court.
Eyes, sir, have" replied Coffey.
''What are they?" asked the court.
"Coffey grounds, your honor"
"Coffee grounds" repeated the judge.
Eyes, sir, said John.
Then the judge got ON his dignity and
reminded the lawyer that he was trifiing
with the court.
"Your honor, said Mr.. Coffey, there
was small addition to my family last
night, and l submit, your honor, that
this is good grounds for asking for a
postponement. !"
Did John get it? Well, rather. -Cin-

Indestructtbility Of the Diamond.

For thousands Of years after the dis
covery of the diamond it was believed to
be indestructible, as far as acids and fire
were concerned. As respects the acids,
I believe that it is still maintained that
there are none known that will dissolve
it. In the eleventh century Bishop Rem
mes wrote the following concerning the
diamond in his poem, "The Lapidari-
UNI"
Hardness invincible which naught can tame,
Untouched by steel and unconquered by flame.
The last words of the second line are
not true under all circumstances. If air
be freely admitted to the retort, a dia-
mond will burn like piece Of bitumi
nous coal as soon as the temperature is
raised above 5000 degrees Of the Fab
renheit scale. Such excessive heat can.
not, Of course, be measured by Fahrenheit
thermometers, but is recorded on an in
ptrument called pyrometer. But in
regard to the fusibility the diamond,
while the experiment proved that
it is instantly reduced TO ashes if sub
jected to heat of 5000 In an open re-
tort, counter experiments also prove
that if the air be excluded no known
degree of heat will materially affect it.
