Napoleon's Booty in One Campaign.

The season was as busy on the mil
itary as it had been on the political
side. Day and night the soldiers in
the conquered Venetian lands wrought
with ceascless labor until the whole
territory was in perfect order as base
of military operations. Not a single
strategic point there or elsewhere was
overlooked. Even the little island OF
st. Peter in the Mediterranean was
taken from Piedmont and garrisoned
with 200 men. 1t was generally under
stood that war might break out at any
moment. Every contribution under
treaty obligations was exacted to the
utmost farthihg. AS single illustration
of the French dealing, jewels and gems
estimated by the pope as worth ten
millions of francs were accepted by
the French experts at valuation of
five. Within the previous twelve
months Bonaparte had sent to Paris
1000, 600 francs, of which he destined
1000, 900 for the outfit of fleet. It
was but a moity of what he had raised.
During this summer, on the contrary,
he kept everything; even the 3, 900, 900
fraEcs promised to Barras were not
paid 1t is therefore likely that he
had in hand upward of 80, 1000, 600 francs
in cash and commissory stores to the
extent of several millions more.-Prof.

WIN WE COOK FOOD.
scessary Preparation for Its Reception
In the Stomach.

\ scessary Preparation for Its Reception
in the stomach.
1t would be absurd, in the face of tn,
tempting viands daily placed befor,
US, to say that food would be just a,
well uncooked. Yet to render fooC
more palatable is the least of the rea
sons for cooking it.
Man is endowed with teeth which
are suitable for the mastication of botl
flesh and vegetable diet, and it would
need but a comparatively short time
to accustom him to raw food of either
description.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, as the
case may be, all food has to undergo
certain changes before it can be taker
into the system as nourishment. Part
OF these changes take place in the
mouth when the food is subdivided by
the process of chewing or mastication
and part are made by the action of the
juices of the stomach upon the mass.
Nourishment depends upon the com
pleteness with which food is changed
by the processes of mastication and di.
gestion. In this modern era, when ev.
erything is done with rush, there is
great danger of throwing upon the
stomach more work than it can do, by
the hasty and inefficient manner in
which we chew our food.
Here we perceive the great province
OF cooking-that of an intermediary
agent between an insufficient mastica-
ton and an overtaxcd stomach. In
other words, cooking may be made to
serve, to some degree, the purpose of
mastication. Potatoes cooked till they
are ''mealy' need much less time and
chewing than those which are boiled
hard and 'soggy."
On the same principle, the pride of
the housewife is in her Eight and
spongy" bread. 1t is better than the
hard cakes of milled corn and water
that were relished in primeval days,
because the minute bubbles of al
which are incorporated into the brea |,

demanded.
Meats and vegetables upon being
properly cooked, lose the covering in.
side of which the fibers and grains of
nutriment are hid, a result which, it is
true, may be similarly obtained by
mastication.
We must not suppose, however, that
it is easy to obtain proper results in
cooking, or to recognize them when
they have been obtained. Because an
article of food is palatable and slips in
to the stomach without effort, may be
the last of reasons why it should be
nutritious and easily taken care of by
the stomach.
Indeed, SO great are the difficulties
in mastering the proper methods OF
cooking, and SO important are such
methods to the human economy, that
the subject deserves to be treated rath.
