The folknrincr article pneentB in » oondae nuuunr the beet knowladge on this subject poieteed by the Mediod Profession at the present time: â€" "Dr. Henry Ashby states that it has been shown by recent researches that cow's milk is about four times as rich in caseine aa human milk, while the amount of salts is some tliree or four times as much, and the amount of sugar in human milk is half as much again as in cow's milk. The addition to cow's milk of water and sugar, with tne object of approximating the various constit- eunts to those of human milk, must neces- sarily fail as regards one or more of them. Moreover, the addition to cow's milk of lime-water, barley water, or a fluid contain- ing dextrine or some other gelatinous sub- stance, does not, as is generally supposed, prevent the bulkgr coagulation provided the fluid be left at rest. On this account. Dr. Ashby advocates peptonized milk. This may be readily prepared for infants by pour- ing four ounces of boiling water on four ounces of milk, adding one-fourth of one of Benger's peptonizing powders, two tea- spoonfuls of cream, and allowing it to stand for ten or twenty minutes, according to the amount of peptonizing desired, then adding a tea-spoomul of sugar or milk sugar, and letting the infant take at once. When this form of food is administered, though some curd may appear in the stools, it is always soft and passed without difficulty. " Anotner less expensive artiQcial human milk may be prepared by mixing one-quarter pint of cream with three-quarters pint of warm water, and adding one-half ounce of milk sugar. To this, two to ten ounces or more of milk may be added, according to the age or the infant's capacity for the di- gestion of curd. " Another artificial human milk may be prepared according to Meigs's formula, by taking two table-spoonfuls of cream of medi- um quality, one of milk, two of lime-water, and three of water to which sugar of milk has been added in the proportion of seven- teen and three-quarter drachms to the pint, which saccharine solution must be kept in a cool plsuie, and prepared fresh every day or two. An infant may take from half a pint to three pints of this mixture, according to age. In round numbers, this artificial hu- man milk may be said to contain eleven to twelve per cent, of solids, of which three or four per cent, is fat, one per cent, curd, and six to seven per cent, sugar. " Any one of the above forms of food will fenerally be found to atrree well with a ealthy infant, or when it is suffering from dyspepsia or intestinal catarrh." one near by.

The foods to be avoided are the fatty, the saccharine, and the highly sea- soned. Com, oats, wheat, sago, rice, and pota- toes consist largely of starch, which, in the process of digestion, is converted into sugar. In severe cases, these and kindred substances must be given up. As most people would find it exceedingly difficult long to despense with the use of wheat bread, gluten bread may be substi- tuted for it; that is bread made of wheat from which about two-thirds of the starch has been removed. The diet should absolute- ly exclude clear fat and sugar. The quantity of the food is a consider- ation hardly second to the quality. Too much food, of whatever kind, must be strictly guarded against. The liver is injuriously affected by alco- holic liquors, generally. These beverages are to be rigidly prohioited, especially malt liquors, port wine, and champagne. One would not have supposed beer to be worse than brandy, but it u much worse. Next to regulating the diet is securing an abundance of fresh air â€" sea air is especially healthful in liver difficultiesâ€" and a suffi- ciency of vigorous exercise. The action of the skin should be kept up by frequently bathing the body with warm water and soap. It is also beneficial to drink half a pint of cold water, or water with a little soda in it, on going to bed, and while dressing in the morning. Liver diseases are, however, so difficult and refractory that it is peculiarly necessary to call in the services of a good physician as soon as the complaint has declared itself. Too many persons are inclined at once to begin dosing, supposing that they are " bili- ous." The incautious and unwise use of medicine at such a time may fasten a chronic disease upon one who might have been per- manently cured in a few days, by proper treatment. Seasonable Hints- Don t forget to give the sleeping-rooms and bedding an airing every morning for an hour or two. Toothache. â€" If the cavity is so great as to allow the air to reach the nerve, get some spirits of nitre and mix with alum saturate a little cotton with it and apply it to the cavity. If the pain extends upwards to the eye, or takes the form of neuralgia, procure some horseradish leaves, take out the stems, wet them and apply on the face over the pain. This will generally bring relief. To Cube Fixons. â€" If at any time before suppuration commences, plenty of ice water is used, it will never fail in producing a per- fect cure. Hold the affected part in ice cold water as long as it can be borne, withdraw it forarest andrepeat. Keep up thisprocess for half a day, if necessary. It will at last overcome the inflammation, and that is all there is of a felon in its first stages. If any poison is swallowed, drink instant- ly half a glass of cool water, with a heaping teaspoouKil each of common salt and groimd mustard stirred into it. This causes vomit- ing as soon as it reaches the stomach. Lest some of the poison might remain, swallow the white of one or two eggs, or drink a cup of strong coffee. These two are antidotes to a greater number of poisons than any ether articles known. Tseer THX Well-Watxr. â€" ^As soon as the ground thaws out, decomposition begins, and any decomposing matter npoh the sur- face b^|;ins to soak cuwninto tne earth out of sight, bat not ont of existence, and is more capable of mischief than ever, since some of this poismioas matter is pretty cer- tun to find its way into the well, if there is as tohe ipire aaio its^iiality. CassFO(uâ€" flMsii sitfks oi ini^ty an rei^nsible for the loss of many valoable lives every year. Those who nse them seem to labor under the delusion that wliat- ever goes down into the ground ont of sight is oncof existence. The truth is, thesefonl matters are more potent for mischief after they have gone down into the earth than while they were on the surface. Cesspools, like vaults, should be made water-tight, and should be carefully and thorot^hly ventilated by free openings ifito the open air. The same precautions respecting dis- infection and frequent removal of contents, are necessary for cesspools as have been mentioned in regard to vaults. House Smells. â€" Sometimes a house ac- quires such a concentration of insanitary o iors that it has a characteristic smell. The writer has known houses which one might recognize by the aid of the nose, in the darkest night. Tnose who live in such a malodorous dwelling, get this same odor attached to their clothing and their persons, so that sometimes we encounter family smells. Smells which have attained this magnitude are truly monstrous and dis- grrcef ul yet there are thousands of families, every member of which carries around with him th e evidence of the sanitary neglects which have made " home, sweet home," a noisome place. Vaults. â€" The ordinary privy vault is a disgrace to a civilized people. The China- man, often abused for his neglect of personal cleanliness, tolerates no such filthy things as the vault. He has from time imme- morial employed the "pail system," and doubtless thereby escapes many of the de- seases which naturally result from the over- crowding to which he is subjected. Any vault is a nuisance but if there must be vaults, let them be constructed in the least objectionable fashion possible. A vault which allows its fluid contents to soak down into the earth, is a menace to every well within a radius of many rods; and not only does such a vault contaminate the water supply, but it also renders impure the ground air, which may force its way into Our dwell- ing through the cellar or the basement. Vaults, to be even partially safe must be made water-tight. They should be made of brick, laid in cement, and lined with a good cement. It is also well to cover the cement with a thick layer of coal tar or asphaltum. By the free use of some good disinfectant, as copperas or white vitriol, not less than one-half to one pound daily, the contents of such a vault may be kept in a reasonably safe condition, but should be removed at least once in three months. Lepeous Houses. â€" " Iwiah you would tell me what is the matter with my parlor wall. There is a spot in the ceiling. Sometimes it is green, then it is yellow or orange just now it is brown." Thus said i, lady to the writer one day a few years ago. Said she " I have washed the spot, and whitewashed it and it doesn't seem to do any good. In a few weeks the old spot is back again as big as ever." We a^ked the lady to take her Bible, and turn to the 14th chapter of Leviticus, verses 34 â€" 45, and read a descrip- tion of the disease which had attacked her house, and the old Jewish way of treating it. If the reader will turn to the passage, he will see that the discription tallies very well. The fact is simply this A species of mold bften forms npon the walls of rooms which are kept dark and damp, and so long as the conditions remain favorable, the mold will continue to return. The con- ditions which would favor the growth of mold are most unfavorable to human life. In modeim times we know how to eradicate this plague without tearing down the house. After cleansing and scraping the affected wall, apply a strong solution of some good disinfectant, as sulphate of zinc or chloride of lime. Expose the room freely to the disinfecting rays of the sun, and open the doors and windows daily, so that air may circulate through it, and the brown, or green, or yellow spot will cease to return. HdUSEHOLD. HowtoHalwOoffeei' It is not good poIi7f paxcbam opffeet sappiies should be small and frequent Any 0U6 may test the parity of «roand coffse by AiLiring a little over a tumUerof dear, bright odd water, and leaving it for an^ hour or so. Pure coffee communicates its color to water slowly, and when the color has been i mp ftr tH tiie infouan is still bright and clear, and the color is never deep. But chicory and other adalt^eranta quickly pro- duce an opaque and dark infusion. The dtff oryn" is so striking that for ordinary purposes a better test is not required. To place good coffee on the table daily is a sim- ple and inexpensive business, but- it cannot be done at a penny a cup, as some folks are in haste to aver. At for 12 to 20d. per pound a good coffee in berry is always ob- tainable, and 16 pence may at the present time he considered a fair family price. It is best to roast and grind as wanted, but the grinding is the one important point, becau;.e ground coffee quickly parts with its aroma, and there is a great charm in having it made immediately from the mill. In some houses the trouble of grindini; is thought much of, but as a matter of fact, it is almost nothing, and a mill costing only a few shilluigs will last a life time. Coffee should never be boiled it should be made with soft water at bioiling heat, but if hard water must be used it should not be made to boil until wanted, for boiling augments its hardness. A common tall coffee-pot will make as good coffee as any patented invention, but a cafe- tiere is a convenient thing, as it produces bright coffee in a few minutes, and thus en- ables us to secure a maximum of the aroma and dispense with the use of any rubbish "finings." Every one to his taste, we wil say, but as careless people make the coffee too strong one day and too weak the next, the ground coffee and the boiling water should both be measured, and it will always take as much as four cups of water to make three cups of coffee. For the breakfast table the addition of about one-eight of chicory is an improvement, but for the dinner table coffee should be made without chicory, be- cause it dulls the piquant flavor of the gen- uine article. Two points in coffee making deter people from using it â€" the trouble of grinding and the Iwiling of the milk. The grinding, however must be done, and it is really nothing, but the boiling of the milk can be advantageously evaded by using Swiss milk, which harmonizes perfectly, and by many well-trained palates is preferred to fresh milk heated.

Willie Gordon, the ten-year-old son of a Mandan wh^esale clothing dealer, is his father's bookkeeper and confidential clerk. He shows a surprising aptitude for business and always takes entire charge of the store when his father goes East to ony goods. Eddie Race, a five-year-old youngster, of Glen's Falls, is the best drummer boy for miles around. He performs the most diffi- cult beats without a flaw and never seems to get tired, although the drum he carries is nearly as big as his body. Eddie has never had any tuition, but gets the beats right by instinct. Lillie Stuch the fourteen-year-old daugh- ter of State Librarian of Pennsylania, recent- ly composed a cradle song so difficult that her music teacher advised her to modify it. She said that she had made it difficult so that she might send it to Patti, who would be able to sing it. This she did, and it was sung by the diva with great success in the West. Miss Fannie Block, of Jackson, Miss. is said to be one of the most precocious chil dren in the state. Though only nine years old she reads, writes, and speaks English, German and French fluently and reads He- brew with ease. She is now beginning to master Greek. It took her Only two months to learn German, and she acquired the other languages with equal readiness. A little negro lad about seven years old, living near Union town, is said to possess a wonderful talent for sculpture. He can take a lump of mud from the road side and with his hamds form .any animal he ever saw, the porportions being periect. He recently made ont of clay a life-size statue of a dog that astonished everybody who saw it because of its extraordinary fidelity to life. Paul Williams, the twelve-year-old son f o G. B.

White Cake.â€" One cup of butter, three cups of sugar beaten to a cream four cups of flour and a half cup of corii starch, added alternately with a cup of sweet milk, two teaspoonfuls baking powder, flavor to taste lastly the whites of twelve eggs beaten to astifffrotb. Puff Puddikg.â€" One pint of boiling milk and nine tablespoonfuls of flour, mix first with a little cold milk. When cold add a little salt and and flour, well-beaten eggs and bake in a buttered dish. Serve at once. Pop-Overs. â€" One cup flour, one cup sweet milk, one egg, a piece of butter the size of a walnut, ji little salt to be baked in scallops or gem pan, in a very quick oven. This makes twelve. CocoANUT Pudding. â€" Grate the meat of a large cocoanut. Roll fine five Boston crackers, and mix with the cocoanut, add milk enough to beat, and a tablespoonful of butter. Beat five eggs, add a cup of sugar, mix and beat like a custard. Bbowned Potatoes with Cheese. â€" Peel some boUed potatoes, and pare them to the same size, dip them in liquified, butter and roll them in grated cheese, seasoned with pepper and salt. Place them in the oven on a buttered tin, just long enough for the cheese to color, and serve. Chicken Salad. â€" The best meat of two chickens dressed fine, twice as muchminced celery, five have hard boiled eggs, four table- spoofuls of melted butter, rubbed with the yolks, and the whites minced fine mix thoroughly with one and a half teaspoons of mustard salt and pepper to taste moisten the whole with chicken broth and a Uttie vinegar. In absence of celery use cabbage. Lemon Custard. â€" The yolks of four eggs and the whites of two, one cup of sugar, one cup of cold water, butter one-half the size of an egg, one tablespoonful of corn- starch rubbed smooth in a little of the butter, the juice and grated peel of a lemon. Bake in custard cups or a pudding dish. Beat the remaining whites in three t«bble- spoonfuls of sugar, spread over the custard when baked and return to the oven until a light brown. Devilled Eggs.â€" Could there not be a better name invented! Boil six eggs for twelve minutes, plunge into cold water un- til cool, so that the shells will come off easily. When peeled, lay on their sides, and cut about a third of each. Scoop out the yolks. Mash the yolks, and the pieces of white cut off into a bowl. When thor- oughly mashed season with salt, pepper, mustarrt, chopped panley, a tablespoonful of melted butter, or oil if preferred, and a little vinegar. Fill this paste into the cavities left by the yolks. You will have to heap it up pretty well to get it all in. This makes a very good dish for luncheon, and adds much to the appearance of the table. Garnish with green parsley branches. TERRIBLE MENTAL ABERRATION of whiih we speak, and who are by far the most aadicted to it of all Eastern peoples, there is seldom any such explanation of the outbreak. Suddenly, without rhyme or reason, a man will spring up from his shop board or bis coach, draw his kris â€" the wave- bladed dagger which they all carry^-and with a scream of "Amok I Amok " strike its point into the heart of the Jtearest way- farer and dart down the crowded bazaar like the lunatic which he is, stabbing and cutting on all sides. "Amok I Amok ' echoes from a hundred mouths, and everybody hurries for a place of refuge,fleeing in sdl. directions, except those bolder spirits who snatch up weapons of defense and join the aimed throng which pursues the desperado. The path of the chase is soon strewn with bodies of men, women, and children, dead or bleed- ing to death, until some lucky shot or dar- ing thrust disables the murderer, who is PIERCED with a DOZEN BLADES as soon as he falls to the ground. Occasion- ally it turns out that the " amoker" has re- ceived some personal affront or injury or was hopelessly in debt or disappointed in love but more commonly there is nothing whatever to account for the wild fury of his proceedings, and the street sweepers drag his carcass away as carelessly as if a leopard had been slain in the public streets. So or- dinary, indeed, is the occurrence that in many towns and cities where there lives a large Malay population an instrument is kept in readiness at every police station called the "amoker catcher." It is some- thing like an eel spear with a very long handle, and so contrived that two elastic- pointed spikes close round the madman's neck and secure him helplessly when the iron frongs are pushed against his nape from be- ind. Neither rank nor wealth keeps a Malay from this sudden excess of homicidal mania if he has the predisposition or has been freatly excited. There was an instance at alatiga, in the island of Java, where the Regent was celebrating the marriage of two of his daughters, and everybody was in a festive and joyous mood. Just, however, at the gayest moment of the .ceremonies the Regent's brother-in-law, a high official, cam bushing through the PROCESSION stabbing everybody he could get at with h's jeweled kris. The Regent himself, coming up to inquire into the uproar, was killed by a single thrust, and it was the brother of the Prince who ran the "moker" through the back with a spear and brought him down, yet not before he had slaughtered nine of the palace people and wounded six others more or less severely. It might be supposed that a race subject to such ferocious fits would be naturally excitable and nervous in manner; but the contrary is the case. The Malay is of all men the most quiet, dignified, and slow of speech and action in his ordinary life. He seldom speaks loudly or quickly, has the most courteous and even geut'e demeanor, and quarrels very rarely with his fellows. Yet he is coldly and silent ly cruel and has no regard for human life, and derives from the Mohammedan faith which he professes its bitterest and most re- lentless dogmas. Once started on the "death run" by insult, despair, or some brain trouble his only thought is to " kill, and kill, and kill," and in the fierce exultation at his in- sanity he does not feel the blow which lets ou' his burning blood and puts a stop to hi" dreadful career. ;efee,,»j bjno^^at ^ernkrgy£?^tjl ^m, whfD was not a very ^^â-  ^ther, cawlessly poked Lxtu'^y negro ballad in his vest noelr.* biU which he intended aiUie During the excitement which ,«„ ceremony, the young man placed 7 tion baUad in the pilm of 2^ After a fervent God-speed the clergyman left without inspectiB;!^ song.

A curious law case, which has arisen out tA. the recoit earthquake at Diano Marino, will shortly be decided before an Italian court. Two adjoining houses at Diano Marino belonging to two different families were destroyed by tiie eartfaqnake and the iahabitants were all. killed. When the ruins and corpses were removed, the sum of 20,000 francs in nld and bank notes was found among the deblriK' ' ^^waa impos- sible to asce^Mn tawUdi heoffhtiM Jiioney belonged, uid as no member ather fiunily was saved to decide the matter tJie mrviving relatives have bnxu^t their case before the Judges, whose de^fam is expected in Italy with marb intenat. Givkg Satisction- Dueling, which is now the harmless pas- time of French newspaper editors, was once a common practice with gentlemen of fash- ion, who obtained satisfaction for grievances real or fancied by sticking each other with rapiers. It would have saved a good many lives if Incledon's system had been introduc- ed earlier Incledon, the famous vocalist, was one of the unsophisticated, and did a great many things out of sheer simplicity that had been much better left unsaid and left undone. Something of this kind gave offense to a gentleman whom Incledon happened to fall in with, and the offended party resolved upon satisfaction. He sought out the singer accordingly, and was lucky enough to find him enjoying his bottle of wine one fine af temnoon at a noted hotel. "Mr. Incledon," says the waiter, " a gentleman wishes to see you, sir." " Show him up, then," says Indedon. "Sir," says the visitor, in a towering passion, "I'm told that you have been mak- ing free with my name in a very improper manner, and I've come to demand satisuic- tion." After some parleying Incledon rose, put on his hat, and planting himself at one side of the room, began warbling " Black-eyed Susan" in his most delicious style. When he had finished, " There, sir," said he, " that has ^ven satisfaction to several thousands, and if you want any thing more' I've only to say you're /he moat un- reasonable fellow I have ever met with."
