MILK As FooD.-An investigation into
the hutritive quality of milk, and tho
reason for its disagrecing with many
adult persons, has been made by DR..
Wiggin, of Providence, r. l., and report
ed in the Journal Of 4Ptlied Chemistry


The results will seem novel to those
who have looked on milk as a sloppy
diet, not to be compared with the more
solid articles We choose in preference for
our good. For example, milk contains
eighty-seven per cent. of water; but then
a rump steak of beef contains seventy
five per cent. of water, and eggs contain
sixty eight per cent.


In fact, it turns out that milk, even at
twelve cents per quart, is the cheapest
form OF animal TODD. DIR. Virgins says
that sirloin steak, including the bone, at
thirty-ive cents a pound, is as dear as
milk at twenty four cents per quart, round
steak at twenty cents per pound as dear
as milk at fourteen cents: eggs at thirty
cents per dozen as dear as milk at twenty
cents corned beef at seventeen cents as
dear as milk at fifteen cents.


A great obstacle to the use of milk as
an important element of food is to be
found in the aet that it cannot be used
by all With impunity, often producing
headache and biliousness. The cause cf
this seems to be that the milk undergoes
in the stomach a process similar to that
which accompanies the manufacture of
cheese that is, it is solidiied or formed
into nearly solid "curd," the potash and
soda in the milk, which were needed to
render its caseine soluble in its water, be-
ing taken up by the acid of the stomach,
The temperature of the stomach also IA
vors the change


This mass of curd. which is probably
manageable by the healthy digestion of a
child, or person with whom milk has
always been used as an article of diet, is
hard nut for an unsound stomach to
crack. The depraved gastric juice of an
adult sinner finds difficulty in penetra-
ting its gummy Businesses. The con
tents of the stomach, only half prepared,
pass on into the intestines, making dis
comfort and troubles as they go. All
this may be avoided by mixing with the
milk some farinaceous food. such as rice,
bread, or corn pudding. The farinaceous
particles will be SO mixed through the
mass of the curd as to destroy its cohe-
sion. and to make it easy for the stomach
to manage it. Even with this precaution,
milk should be used sparingly at the out
set, and the digestion should be accus-
toned to its new work-for the easy di-
gestion of milk is trick we put aside
with our childish things.

ANECDoTE OF ETHAN ALLEN-Ethan

friend in Willamstown, attending church
with him and his family. The first and

justice than in his love and mercy, aud
their sermons gave evidence of their obe-
dience to belief On this Sabbath the
text of the worthy President Fitch was,

A DISGUSTING sELL.-Quite recently in

the movement, and as sligat expression
of their disgust the disaffected boxed up

it created quite a sensation and some

SINCE our last issue the body of

 Corporal Black has been found. It

 was about three-fourths of mile from the place where the body of Lieutenant Stewart was found. He had been stripped of his clothing, his hands were tied behind him and his

 body was pierced with spears from head to foot, and his heart cut out in savage style. Itis evident as we pre- dicted, that he was taken alive and afterwards killed by slow torture with spears; there was not a gunshot wound on his person. No doubt the agony and misery the slow torture caused the poor fellow, was highly ap- preciated by the fends who murdered him. Would to God his groans could have been heard and his wounds seen by those who are constantly sounding praises of the noble red man and de- nouncing the frontiersman. Still it might not do any good. Protesting unbounded humanity and charity, they listen to the tales of the murder and torture of white men and women with perfect composure. Many of them profess christianity, but do they ever reflect that just God will hold them to a strict accountability for a share in these murders they are in part responsible for?

To-day we publish the Interior De-

 partment regulations regarding losses

 by Indians, and deem it proper to say

 that we give them more as matter of

 general information than for any

 practical use to our citizens. We doubt, and so do others who have given the law upon which they are

 based due consideration, if any losses

 by Apaches can be adjusted under them. The law only refers to "clalms

 arising under existing laws or treaty " stipulations." It will also be seen that no payment on account of said claims can be made without specific appropriation by Congress and fur ther that, under the ruling, all appli- cations for indemnity must be made within three years after the con-. mission of the depreciation or in- "jury."

 In this connection, we would advise our citizens to examine with care these and the law upon which they are founded, and also into what character of claims do arise "under existing (former) laws or treaty stip- ulation." ;" Possibly they may find some of their own which might be rec ognized and paid, our belief to the contrary nevertheless.

 There is hardly a doubt but that Congress will ere long make provision for the payment of all well authen- ticated losses of citizens by Indian We even believe that Congress will eventually order the of such losses, but it will always require undoubted proof of them. This will be necessary to pre- vent frauds, large and small almost beyond computation. In this view, our citizens should promptly prepare evidence of their losses; those of the past with all within their reach, and of the present with the abundant ready proof. The time will come, or we are much mistaken, when this ac- of evidence will be of service. The published regulations are chiefly valuable as leading claim ants to proper preparation of proof required now or hereafter.

auburn, n. Y, ao his present plnco OF abode.


\ patient hearing was given Steinhau6er by
Inspector kirkpatrick and Warden Nelson, to
whom he made the extrac, dinary statement that
he had heard that there was woman in tho fe-
male prison who was possessed Of great wealth,
sud whose stay there was only prolonged because
she could not get q husband to lead her from the
prison to the altar, aud afterwards share with
her an almost fabulous fortune. Anton had
como to marry her. He said ho was 40 years
old, had had to work hard during his life, and
now for tho sake Of getting the money was will
ing to take q convict bride.


On being asked how much money he was ex-
pecting to secure with his convict wife, he re-
piled that he heard, bofore coming here, the hos-
band was to receive "pound for pound" and
further explained himself by saying the woman
weighed ono hundred and fifty pounds, and he
was to have similar weight Of gold coin. III

the hair and promoter of its growth and
beauty known to modern pharmacy. 1t
completely obviates the dry and parched

the precise degree of moisture requisite to
its preservation in n healthy state. IL is
