incidentally, lot it be noted, that
salted meat is much less nutritious
than fresh. II has 0een ascertained
chemically that brine extracts from
the muscular tissue much OF its nu-
tritive principle.

being most valuable as nutriment,
mutton and yenison; then the flesh Of
fowls. the various kinds of game

The opinions of modern French
scientists may be noted and read
with interest. According TO these
authorities. fish is only slightly nutri-

elusive use would soon produce a
dtninution of muscular force, pale
ness of the tissues and all signs of an
elimination insufficient in quality.
These interesting rules fer daily
good digestion are offered by the
wise editor of the Public Health Jour
nal:
Fish is more digestible than the
white meat of fowl.
The flesh of shell fish crustaceans
is hard of digestion
Roast meat is more dieestible than
boiled.
Eggs very slightly cooked and dairy
produce are more digestiblc than
white meats.
Of vegetables the succulcnts are
the most di%eatiblc.
New bread is heavier than stale
bread.
The ailments 10 which the cook
art gives liquid or Semi--fuid form
are. in general, more di@estible.
The more readily an ailment * dis

the easier is digestion.

Henry of Prussia stood on Rock
Point. with the majestic spectacle of
Lookout Mountain. Missionary Ridge.
Orchard Knob and Racoon Mountain
spread before his eyes. the Tennessee
river stretching far below in the pic

cent? There is nothing in all Europe
that is finer!'
And the prince was right in such
an estimate of the scene. The aver
age American. however, has never
realized the truth which Henry per-
ceived at a first glance. He knows,
of course. that Lookout Mountain is
a fine thing to see. that Niagara Falls
awes the beholder with its sublimity
of aspect. that Yellowstone Park and
the Grand Canon of the Colorado can
not be contemplated with an unmov-
ed soul.
But finer than anything in all Eu

manage to see even If he * compelled
to leave unseen all the beauties of
his native land? The Europe so raved
