FOODS FOR THE SEASONS.
Those Appropriate for summer ana
Winter.

All foods are productive of energy;
all energy evolves heat; therefore all
foods are heat producing agents. But
some are so greatly superior To others
IN this respect as TO merit the name OF
the heat producing foods. These are
The starches. sugars and fats, animal
fats mainly, for those of vegetable
origin are most effective, il is asserted,
in the work of cleansing the Intestinal
canal, supplying heat only to a very
/ limited degree. These food products
/ burn or oxydize very readily within as
without the body, giving out heat as the
result and being first changed by the
wonderful process of digestion as they
pass through the alimeHtary canal be
fore entering the blood. As matter
of course it follows that starches. sug-
ars and fats should be avoided when the
maintenance of high degree of animal
heat is undesirable, or, to particu!arize,
that such starchy vegetables as rice,
Dotatoes, etc, are better winter than
summer foods. that sweets should not
he extensively INDUCED in during the
heated term. that fats should be used
even more sparingiF, anu that al THESE
foods should be restored to favor again
when colder weather makes a great
amount of animal heat a desideratum.
If this were always done, if appetite
rather than reason were not so often
the ruling force in our lives, then I'M
doubtedly our winters would be more
comfortable. our summers more en-
durable But we too frequently find
ourselves unable TO break the force Of
habit. and therefore eat crullers and
chocolate on hot summers day, or a
breakfast including fried bacon and
cornbread when the mercury is climb
ing close to the nineties before its daily
work is fairly inaugurated; and pies
and cakes unlimited. when we a~e con-

Lives Lost.
Havana, Oct. 1s.-The gunboat Maria
Christina, which left this port Saturday
for the scene of the Triton wreck, has
returned, accompanied by the tugboat
Susie, which went with her. The two
vessels arrived here at one o'clock Sun
day afternoon, the gunboat having on
board 10 and the tugboat % of the mem
bers of the lost ships company, of
whom 10 are civilians and soldiers.
These are all who were saved of a total
list of 200, passengers and crew.
Just as the Triton was sinking Capt.
Ricardo, her commander, committed
suicide by shooting himself with his re-
volver.
The coasting steamer Triton, from
Havana to Bahia Honda, province of
Pinar del Rio, went upon rock Satur-
day morning, between Dominica and
Mariel, on the north coast of that prov
ince. Her cargo shifted, and Is min
utes later she sank in 100 fathoms of
water.
A scene of terrible confusion and
panic ensued as soon as the passengers
realized the meaning of the crash. In
wild struggle they rushed for the
boats The first boat that was lowered
capsized Immediately and all of its oc-
cEpants were drowned in the whirling
waters. The next was struck by an
enormous wave and turned over, drown
ing 20, but the frail craft righted again,
and eight who had been thrown out re-
gained il. Some were good swimmers
and kept themselves atloat for hours;
others floated about on Tranks. Four
soldiers on planks whom the strong cur
rents carried east of Havana, opposite
Moro castle. were saved by pilot boat
going toward Cardenas. They declare
that Saturday night there were many
others near them on planks, but when
morning came all these had disap-
peared. Some of them probably became
food for sharks.
