FISH AS FOOD.
Easy OF Digestion and AZ Wholesome Arti-
Gle of Dict.

Easy of Digestion and "a Wholesome Arti-
Gle of Diet.
1t has been frequently stated that fish
diet, by virtue of the phosphorus which 1t
contains. is pre-eminently adapted to nour'
ish the brain, and that those who subsist
on it largely arc distinguished for their
brightness and intellectually. 1t is per-
fectly true that small percentage of phos-
phorus enters into tho composition of the
healthy brain, and while 1t is also true
that fish contains more or less phosphorus
that may and probably does pass into the
circulation IL is yet to be proved either 10y
theory OF by experience that diet OF fish
Is on the whole better adapted to supply
the waste of the brain than liberal vari-
ETY. of other alimentary substances and
especially of meats. Fish Is easy of diges-
ton and creates little vascular excitement
and consequently forms light and whole
some article of diet. Salt water fish are the
best Of any, as their flesh Is more solid,
more agreeable and healthy, less exposed
to putrescence and less viscid They pos
sess these excellent qualities when fresh.
When sailed, they have all the properties
of salt fish and consequently its disadvan-
tages.
Those fish which have scales are in gen.
eral the most easily digested and the best,
and of all these fish the fresh herring APP
pears to deserve the preference. The her
ring, Goldfish, turbot and founder are per-
haps the most digestible and best OF fish.
Salmon and mackerel. lobster and most
other kinds of shellflsh arc more difficult
of digestion. The mode of cooking fish is
of considerable importance. Frying them
In oil or lard is an Objectionable process,
In general the process Of boiling is best
adapted to render them wholesome Stewed
fish should he avoided by the dyspcptic.
Acid sauces and pickles render fish more
wholesome for the stomach, while butter
has tendency to prevent digestion, while
spice and salt used In moderate quantities
! facilitate the digestive process. Ono of the
best sauces that can be used with fish IL
lemon juice. Now York Ledger.

Failing Love.

cit is not everybody who can fall
desperately in love-" Andrew Lang de-
clares. MANY a young woman knows
that she, for one, is not born heroine
We cannot all have genius for passion.
Indeed that genius is, first rather nm
usual, and, secondly, is apt not to be
confined to single object. Girls ought
not to be educated in a belief in the
coup de foudre. Most of them will find
some good fellow who is much attached
to them, as they will be to him. They
will marry, if they have luck, and never
think Of losing their heart, in the style
of Dido or Medea. This has always been
the prose fact of matrimony, and thus
'Hymen peoples every town. If young
women wait for the coup de foudre and
the handsome knight who comes riding
through the forest, they will Golf st.
Katherine or lead apes ia hell. Novels
prove the inadequacy Of the ideal. The
heroine always loves tho unsatisfactory
poet, is Tilted, meets the solid squire OF
business man and finds that what she
had taken for love was. etc.-we al
know the formula-and lives happy
over after"

Lincoln J. Carriers spectacular melo-
drama. "The Heart Of Chicago" was pre-
sented last evening to a good-sized aud
fence. The company Is a good one, but
they were handicapped in the stage not
being large enough to use all their seen
cry. The play was we'll received by the
audience and was funny to an extreme.
The specialties were we'll received and we
don't remember OF hearing the songs
sung for three or our years back. The
locomotive scene was the most realistic
ever seen in these partssnd broughtforth
great applause. The company, owing to
u mix-up in their copper country dates,
will appear at the Armory Opera House
again tonight night in the same piece.

acrid. This is because the bunch which
contained them was picked too soon.
The banana grows fastest at first in
length. When it has reached its full
development in that direction, it sud
denly begins to swell and in few days
will double in girth. 1t is at the end of
this time that it begins to ripen natu-
rally, and the effort Of the banana i'm
porter is to have the fruit gathered at
the last possible moment, and yet before
the ripening has progressed even enough
to tinge the bright green of the fruit
with yellow. A difference of "a hours
