The Sin and Folly of Scoldings
“Fret not thyself in any w ise to do evil.”-Ps. xxxii. 2
1. It is evil, and only evil, and that contin
ually. David understood human nature, and
eays, u Fret not thyself in any wise lo do
evil.” That is, if you cannot speak without
scolding-, keep silence.
2. It Destroys Affection. No one ever
did. ever can, or ever will love an habitual
frettcr, fault-finder, or scolder. Husbands,
wives, children, relatives, or domestics have
no affection for peevish, fretful fault-finders.
Few tears are shed over the graves of such.
Persons of high moral principle may tolerate
them —may bear with them. But they can
not love them more than the sling of nettles,
rr the noise of musquitoes. Many a man has
been driven to the tavern, and to dissipation,
by a. peevish, fretful wife. Many a wife has
been made miserable by a peevish, and fret
ful husband.
3. lt is the. Bane of Domestic Happiness.
A fretful, peevish, complaining, fault-finding
person in a family, is like the continual cha
ting of an inflamed sore. Wo to the man, wur
man or child, who is exposed to the influence
of such a temper in another. Nine-tenths of
all domestic trials and unhappiness spring from
this source. Mrs. D. is of this temperament.
She wonders her husband is not more lond of
her company. That her children give her so
much trouble. That domestics do not like to
work for her. That she cannot secure the
good will of young people. The truth is, she
is fretful and peevish. Children fear her and
do not. love her. She never yet gained the
affections of a young person, nor ever will till
she leaves off fretting.
4. It Defeats the find of Family Govern
ment. —Good family government is the blend
ing authority with affection, so as to secure
respect and love. Indeed, this is the great
secret of managing young people. Now’your
fretters may inspire fear, but they always
make two faults where they correct one.
Scolding at a child, fretting at a child, sneer
ing at a child, taunting at a child, treating a
child as though it had no feelings, inspires
dread and dislike, and fosters those very dis
positions front which many of the faults of
childhood proceed. Mr. G. and Mrs. F. are
of this class. Their children are made to
mind ; but how ? Mrs. F. frets at and scolds
her children. She is severe enough upon their
faults. She seems to watch them in order to
find fault. She sneers at them, —treets them
as though they had no feelings. Slip seldom
gives them a command without a threat, and
a long, running, fault-finding commentary.
When she chides, it is not done in a dignified
manner. She'raises her voice, puts on a cross
look, threatens,strikes them, pinches their ears,
slaps their hands. &c. The children cry out,
pout, sulk, and poor Mrs. F. has to do her work
over pretty often. Then she will find fault
with her husband, bt cause he does not fall in
with her ways, or chime with her as a chorus.
5. Fretting and Scolding makes Hypo
crites. —Asa fretter never receives confidence
and affection so no one likes to tell them any
thing disagreeable, and thus procure for them
selves a fretting. Now children conceal in
asmuch as they cannot make up their minds
to be fiank and open hearted. So husbands
conceal from their wives, and wives from their
husbands. For a man may brave a lion, but
he likes not to come in contact with nettles
and musquitoes.
6. It Destroys one’s Peace of Mind. —The
more one frets, the more lie mnr* A fretter
will always have enough to fret at. Espe
cially if he or she has the bump of order and
neatness largely developed. Something will
always be out of place. There will always
be some dirt somewhere. Others will not eat
right, look right, talk right —he will not do
those things so as to please them. And fret
ters are generally so selfish as to have no re
gard for any one's comfort but their own.
7. It is a Mark of Vulgar Disposition. —
Some persons have so much gall in their dis
position, are so selfish, that they have no re
gard to the feelings of others. All things
must be done to please them. They make
their husbands, wives, children, domestics,
the conducters by which their spleen and ill
nature is discharged. Wo to the children who
are exposed to such influence —it makes them
callous and unfeeling, and when they grow
up, they pursue the same course with their
children, or those entrusted to their manage
ment; and thus the race of lretters is perpet
uated.
The Naumkeag Mill.
This cotton mill is beautifully located at
Salem, Mass. It is the largest in the United
States, and is believed to be,the largest in the
world in which the entire process of convert
ing raw cotton into cloth is carried on under
one roof. The mill is an elegant structure,
something more than 400 feet in length, and
about 65 feet in width. It is four stories high
and contains 31.232 spindles (Mason’s self-ac
ting mules.) 650 broad looms, and the other
requisite machinery. The machinery is driv
en by a steam engine of 400 horse power.—
The consumption of anthracite coal is 6$ tons
per day to generate steam for the engine for
the mill and machine shop, and to warm the
mill and offices for drying, making, sizing
and all other purposes. The arrangement..of
the machinery is made on the most simple
and economical principles and the whole is
geered from one upright shaft, which takes its
motion directly from the|rnain wheel. On the
side of the street opposite the factory are two
beautiful blocks of brick houses for the ac
commodation of the operatives. They are
together, of the same length of the mill, and
and cost the company about $35 000, exclu
sive of the land. The entire establishment,
including these dwellings, the machine shop
and three or lour wharf lots, cost the compa
ny nearly $600,000. Yet such is the quality
of the goods and the reduced cost of manufac
turing, that the mill has run at a handsome
profit during the late hard times.
This mill was planned and constructed by
our fellow townsman, Gen. Charles T. James,
and has been in full operation since February,
1817. Though in the prime oflil'e, Gen. James
is a veteran in his profession. He has devoted
more than twenty years to it, and with the aid
of a first rate genius of his own for mechanical
and mathematical science, lias labored most
assiduously to perfect himself in a knowledge
of its scientific and practical departments. —
He has been eminently successful, and as, em
phatically, a self-made mechanic, manufactu
rer, and engineer, deserves much credit. In
proof of this, we will adopt the rule he uni
formly. practices on, when applications are
made for his services, that is, refer all inqui
ries to his past employers and to the works
of his hands. Another rule to which he uni
formly adheres, may also be recommended to
every good mechanic. To have nothing to
to do with what is called a cheap eslahlish
i ment • as a good reputation can never be es
tablished on the basis of bad work. His cau
tion to the mill owners is, and to which they
would do well to take heed, that the ultimate
1 loss of thousands frequently results from the
incipient saving of hundreds.
During the period which Gen. James has
! devoted to his profession, he has constructed,
either wholly or in part, more than twenty
cotton mills, and put in operation two hundred
! and thirteen thousand spindles. Some idea
may be formed of the extent of his business
and its arduous character, from the tact that,
for some three years past, he has paid out for
contracts he has personally made with ma
chinists, builders, &c., for machinery, mate
rials, labor, &c., on an average of about $500,-
000, per annum; and besides which, he has
constantly had on his own hands the business
agency and general supervision of two or threa
’ cotton mills Added to this is the tact that the
mills he has had in hand during that period,
some ol which are completed and others of
which are now in progress, arc situated, some
in Massachusetts, some in Connecticut, one in
New York, some in Pennsylvania, one on the
Ohio, 130 miles below Louisville Ky., and one
in Charleston, S. C. — Providence . Journal.
Col. Renton’s Railroad Speech.
At the meeting ofthe citizens of Pittsburgh,
held Inst week with a view to the furtherance
of the Pennsylvania and Ohio Railroad enter
prise. the Hon. Mr. Bentov, .who was acci
j dentally in that city, was present by invita
tion. The address which he made on the ■
occasion is thus reported in the Pittsburgh j
papers:
Mr. Chairman and fellow citizens, I have j
I oot arrived at that age of life in which 1 might
■ say 1 was too feeble to speak, nor can I plead 1
the excuse of being too tired to-night to ad- j
dress you. I arrived here this evening, and
am passing on in the morning; and have had 1
the honor —to me an unexpected one —ot be
ing waited upon and invited to attend this 1
meeting. Ii ii had been a political meeting.
1 should have made my customary excuse, j
anil that is that I never speak upon political
subjects outside of my own bailiwick (hear, ‘
hear and applause ;) but as the object of this |
meeting is one larger than politics—as it is
an object utilitarian in the highest degree—l
came to this meeting—if for no other purpose—
at least for the purpose of showing that I was
in !avor of all such great such magnificent
improvements, as that, the accomplishment of j
which you have met to consider to-night, (ap- i
plause.) The President of the company has j
well observed, that, as a local question I could j
not be expected to enter into details ; and it ;
is a question with myself whether I shall be ;
able to say anything on the immediate sub- |
ject of the meeting; but he also touched a I
point which touched me, inasmuch as one end j
of this road points to St. Louis; and St. Lou- j
is is on the road in a straight line to the Pa
cific Ocean and to Canton, (applause.) My j
name has been connected (as well it might— !
for while 1 should consider all discussion as
to who was the first to propose a railroad to j
the Pacific Ocean, as being on an equality i
with the question as to who would be the first;
man to ride on horseback instead of going j
afoot) yet thirty years ago, takingup the great
ideas of men and the progression of things
(that same progression which bought Colum
bus to these shores) —thirty years ago I not j
only said but wrote it—thirty years ago I not ‘
only said and wrote it, but gave it to those |
who constitute the monuments which never j
die (the printing press, and by the printing j
press it was then written down.) thirty years {
ago 1 said and wrote that, sooner or later a
great national high road would be made from
the Missouri to the Pacific Ocean —that that
road would be made either immediately, by
the help of the Federal Government, or even
tually. and without that help, by the force of
circumstance and the progress of events. —
Thirty years ago I wrote this down, and I was
as confident of it then, as I am at this day,
(great applause.) Every road, then, which
points towards Sf. Louis connects itsell with
this gigantic idea of the age in which we live—
the highway of Nations, of Africa, of Asia, of
Europe, of generations yet unborn—a high ‘
way from Ocean to Ocean, under one law, !
under one flag, under one language, under one |
government (and that a republican govern
ment, too.) from one end to the other. (Great
applause.) That great idea ia now abroad
tsalking over the land, and commends itstl!' ;
with such force to all imaginations that a uni- j
versal approbation has arisen in its favor, (ap- i
plause.) and there can be little doubt that in !
a short time we shall witness its completion, \
(renewed applause.) I have brought forward
a scheme. 1 have proposed a per centum of
the sales of the public lands, a per centum. (I
merely said that by way of a feeler , (cheers ) |
to see how it would take, and it takes well, |
much better than either I or any one else an -1
ticipated)—l proposed a per centum of the !
public lands, a hypothecation of them, to raise ;
the means to go on with this great work, and ;
to go on with it to its final completion. (Ap
plause.) Go a-head with the work, (cheers;) j
go a-head is the word (renewed cheers ;) go ‘
a-head, and turn all the force and power you
can command upon the object you have in j
view. Whatever it is, be it peace or be it
war, be it railroads, canals, go a-head —pro- !
gression—that is the great, the distinguish- j
ing characteristic of the American people.—-
(Continued applause.) The wonders which |
we see in the ancient world —such for exam- j
pie as the Pyramids of Egypt —structures
employing myriads upon myriads of men — ;
how did they arise ? At the command of Sov
ereigns, who. at once were political and reli
gious tyrants —who hud dominion over the con
science as well as dominion over the purse — j
who commanded a nation to come forward to
work—and for what ?—the wisdom of the !
world for three thousand years has not been
able to tell. But what is the case with us ? j
Where is the man—belie King or be he Pres
ident—be lie high or low —be he rich or poor— j
be he eloquent or speechless—where is the !
man can do this in America? (Cheers.) — j
Where is the man in the whole of this broad
Republic can command that which the people i
disapprove, (cheers) that which does not com-1
mend itself to their sound, practical, common
sense? (Renewed applause.) No; No; Ameri
cans have taken utility for their guide in every I
object; and they come forward —not at the bid- j
ding ol'priests, presidents and kings—but from j
a feeling which has its origin in their own bo
soms, a feeling that tells them that what they
arc going to do is to benefit themselves and J
their posterity, (applause;) and now I tell you
that this American Federal Government has
nothing to do but to lay off the lines of that I
great road, and give the people permission to j
work upon it, and immediately you will see it j
lined with laborers from Missouri to the Pa
cific ; the sound of the implements of improve- |
ment and industry will be heard from one |
end to the other; and in a period less than — ;
comparatively speaking will take you to de
liberate —this great, national, unparalleled
work in the history of the world will be com- ;
pleted, and America will reap the glory. (Im-1
mense applause.) The Romans, whom we i
so much admire, would not go sneaking round
a mountain in making a road. They scorned j
to go round a mountain ; “over it or through j
ii” was their motto ; and we, in America, can
; rival them, (Great applause.) This great ;
road will be made ; while the government are j
| deliberating about it the people themselves
are now making it; the people will make it; .
the hoofs of horses, the tread of men’s feet — ,
yes, the tread of children’s feet who shall con
; stitute the fathers and mothers of future gen-!
| orations, building up and consolidating this J
great Republic —the tread of children’s feet j
and the grinding of wagons will make this
road. (Applause.) Tens of thousand of peo
ple will go on it this very year—making the
road as They go.
It will be made; and.it is to that point of
view that it bears upon all the projects of mak
ing roads in the State of Missouri; for. while
that great trunk will run like a mighty river
: straight to its terminus, there will be branches
to the right and to the left; and, when it
reaches St. Louis, there it will be in connec
; tion with all the great modes of communica
! tion; and great, then, as may be the advan
; tages in the continuation of roads from St.
Louis, not merely East but to every point of
the compass, taking for its circumference the
lakes and the borders of the Atlantic to Mex
ico—the whole of these will derive an immense
additional value from coming into communi
cation at the other end of the great trunk,
which will bring Asia with all its riches into
the United State?, (Applause.) Ye?, gen-
tlemen, that road will be made; and while both
in Europe and America the vast country be
vond the Pacific so long remained a sealed
book—while the vast regions from Missouri to
the Pacific were considered a desert, where
people cduld never live—now the curtain has
been lifted, and a young man has employed
himself seven years in threading twenty thou
sand miles of wilderness, xvilh a telescope in
his hand, fixing the latitudes and longitudes,
writing down every thing new and strange in
nature, and from him we see that what was
considered an impassable barrier is a habita
ble mountain more beautiful than any in Swit
zerland. (Applause.) And while this was
considered the most barren, the most savage
part of this country —that place which has
been so commonly spoken of as the great Suit
Lake—‘that country has been laid open, not
only as a country susceptible of improvement
but as one affording many advantages lor civ
ilized habitation; and no sooner had his first
exploration revealed the true condition of that
region which lies beyond the great Salt Lake,
than the people wandering from east to west
have gone thitherto establish themselves and
are advancing with all the comtbrts and im
provements of civilization. (Applause.) To
that people this young man has been a Mo
ses—he has shown them a land to which they
have gone.
And now fellow-citizens, after these brief
expressions—after reminding you that the
whole country beyond the Missllsippi, clear
to the Pacific Ocean is all susceptible of be
ing inhabited —all capable of improvement—
I am satisfied that no sooner shall the Gov
ernment of the U. Sates have marked out the
line for the best of all roads, connected with
many others; some of which Will be made
now. and others thousand of years hence —on-
ly give the people liberty to settle on this
route, and have it marked out. and they will
come upon it as a swarm of locusts would
light upon a green spot in the deserts of E
gvpt; in a night they will come down upon it
and the land is now alive. (Great applause.)
There are here persons who will see it —per-
sons here who will see that great road hav
ing on each side a double line of settlements,
of houses, of towns, of villages, of orchards,
and wc shall fly from the Mississippi to the
Pacific Ocean, looking upon the cultivation
on each side the whole distance as wc go.
(Great applause.)
And these Rocky Mountains —these Rocky
Mountains—which a writer in the Edinburgh
Review, only a few years ago represented as
the impassable barrier beyond which the wave
of American population could never go —these
Rocky Mountains will be found to contain
within their bosoms a large, a hardy race —a
republican race —in the largest sense of the
word republican —such a3 Caesar found two
thousand years ago in Switzerland, and such
as are there to the present day. (Applause.)
The child is born—the men are grown—some
of them are here who will see all this; for
“go a-head” is the watchword —the feeling—
ol the American people ; and “a-head” they
“go” with a rapidity which no government
can stop; they are a people which are always
ahead of their government, (cheers.) With
these few words I return you my thanks —es-
pecially to the President and to the gentle
men who have done me the honor to invite
me here this evening. (Great applause.)
Exposure of Manure in Barn Yards.
Making of Composts. —We once had an ec
centric friend who insisted upon wearing the
nap. or soft side of his stockings toward his foot, ■
or what is usually called irrong side out. He
insisted upon it, that the stocking would wear j
tor a longer time, aud that as he had more re
spect for his foot than his boot, he should so j
continue to wear his stockings. When asked
why others did not follow his plan, he answer
ed, that they followed example rather than to
take the trouble to think. Is it not so with |
our farmers, in permitting manures to lie con
tinually exposed on the surface of an open j
ground ? When they cart out manures to I
spread on ground before plowing, they are al
ways anxious to spread no more than they can
plow under the same day, to prevent loss by |
evaporation; and still .are willing to leave it |
exposed all winter to continued evaporation.
And not only dc they lose the volatile part of 1
the manure by such exposure, but the tread
ing of the cattle upon it is continually displac
ing atmosphere from between the particles,
and enabling new qualities to enter for further j
evaporation. All the liquid manure is lost in !
an accelerated rate by being kept in continu- j
ous motion, not only by the feet of cattle, but ‘
by capillary attraction from straw, corn-stalks, i
&e. Notwithstanding that it has been clearly \
established that seventy-five per cent, of the j
value of manures is lost by such treatment,
still tlie practice is adhered to without change, j
Instead of such exposure and loss of manure, ;
why not build sheds fencing the barn-yard to
hold manures, and throw the quantity produc- j
ed under these sheds each morning before the
sun has had full power upon it. and by there
mixing it with muck, headlands, or any oilier
divisor, increase the quantity of manure in j
addition to the saving of 75 per cent., by pre- !
venting evaporation. Every one who has ]
tried it. knows that one load of fresh manure
mixed with several loads of muck or even
headland, under covers, will cause each load
of the mass to become equal to its bulk of clear
manure lor purposes of fertilization, and that
this arises from the escaping gases given off
from the manure during fermentation, being
absorbed by the divisor; and still we see far
mers continuing this ham-yard deposit, not
withstanding the fact that in many cases they
are compelled to buy manures in the spring.
Let them, if they will continue the barn-yard
system, at least throw muck, charcoal dust,
gypsum, or all three of them, on the surface
of the ground each day after cleaning up the
yard, and thus save a larger proportion of the
liquid manures by retaining the ammonia.—
We have found that by placing proper absor
bents to our ox, cowand horse stables, so as to
receive the fluid manures before they lose the
animal heat, that eighteen loads of muck may
readily be used with every load of fresh ma
nure, thus giving us nineteen times the bulk
of manures that we should have on the old
system, and even with such divisor the heat
of our immure heaps is fully sufficient for the
purposes of decomposition ; but our cattle do
not run at large in a barn-yard, nor do we be
lieve it is necessary for their health that they
should do so. For working cattle, exercise is
unnecessary, and for air, a well-regulated sta
ble, having an escape for the gases from ma
nures, will furnish better air than a putrid and
offensive barn-yard. If the object be to fatten
: cattle, it has long been decided that they fat
ten more readily without a continuous motion
than with it. and for milch cows, the stall sys
( tem cannot be doubted as being the most
[ economical both as relates to the quantity of
milk and food, as well as in the saving of
manure.
A moderate quantity of salt should be used
in the manure or compost lump- It is well
known that although a large quantity of salt
will prevent active fermentation, still a mode
rate quantity will accelerate decomposition,
and at the same time, destroy the see sos
many kinds of weeds, grubs, dec.
Farmers who raise wheat, rye, corn. oats,
barley, clover, turnips, and potatoes, should
either have in their soil or add to their com
post heaps a variety of inorganic ingredients
which these crops contain. Thus, if after
having an analysis of their Boil, they should
find it to contain potash, soda, lime, magnesia,
phosphoric acid, sulphuric acid, soluble sili
cates, chlorides and azotized matters, then
they may raise any or all the crops before
named, by only adding so much manure as
will supply the carbonaceous! substances re
quired, or ff the soil be well tilled, this carbon
VOL. XXVII—No 7.
i will be supplied from the curbonic acid of u,e
atmosphere.
But should any of these ingredients be
missing lrom the soil and not be contained in
the manure used, the crops for which it is re
quired cannot possibly succeed, however rich
the soil may be in other ingredients.
[ Working Farmer.
Remarks on the Onion.
Afr. Editor —There are three varieties of
this vegetable cultivated in this region. The
[ allium cepa is a biennial, and is highly es
l teemed as a salad. To insure a good crop.
I the seed should be sown early in the spring.
; The soil selected should be of a light, loamy
texture, approximating to sand, and so pre
pared as to enable it to retain a considerable
; degree of heat without becomihg dry or ex
cessively parched, during drought. There
are. however, few vegetables which require
less moisture, or to the full and perfect de
, velopement of which the principle of heat is
more strictly necessary, or indispensable. —
About midsummer, it should be taken up and
| stored, for if it is permitted to remain longer
in the soil, its value for culinary purposes,
will be deteriorated, it not destroyed.
The allium cepn. is one of the few cultiva
ted vegetables which admit of being changed
from biennials to triennials. This is effected
I simply by sowing the seeds quite late in the
season, and in close proximity, the first sum
mer. on poorer sterile soil, and transplanting
them in the spring of the second season. —
Onions managed in this way. are sometimes
called “vcnlHons.” They are much more mild
and agreeable to the palate’ beside present
ing a much more symmetrical and perfect de
velopement in the bulb. When treated in this
way they will not run to seeed till the tall of
the third year. The best manure for onions,
with which 1 am acquainted, is gypsum soot.
, ashes and charcoal. Stimulated by frequent
applications of these, the onion will succeed
well on the same soil for many consecutive
years. It is asserted, indeed and on credible
authority, that a piece of soil was sown, some
years since, in Scotland, which had been cul
tivated in this plant for a period ol 80 years,
and the last crop taken was. it is said, as good
to all appearance, as any of the preceding
ones of which the then proprietor had any re
collection.
The Potato Onion — (Allium aggrega
tum.) This is another species of the onion
tribe. It is wonderfully prolific. It does not,
however, like the allium eepa produce one
large, uistinct bulb, but radiates into numer
ous offsets, each of which is nearly the size of
a small orange. This vegetable is perhaps
as extensively admired as the common onion
but is preserved with much greater difficulty.
The rule commonly observed in cultivating it.
by those who have had the most experience in
the business is. we believe, to plant the small
est “ cloves ” on the shortest day, and to take
in the crop on the longest.
The Tree Onion —Jllium Canadensis.—
This is a “ tall growing plant.” and should be
provided with a support in order to prevent
injury from winds. Small bulbs are produced
both at the top and bottom of the stems. The
latter are said to be preferable to the former
in many respects —especially for pickling.—
The small bnlbs may be set either in the fall
or spring, and the crop, with proper care and
attention in cultivating it. will be ready for
harvesting by midsummer.
In cultivating the common onion. I do not
consider it necessary to plow or dig the soil.
With a common iron-tooth rake. I lightly stir
the surface to the depth of two inches, and
having formed the lines wkh a common seed
rake, sow the seed and cover it vvilh the hoe
or hand. The roller is then applied to level
and compress the surface soil, and a dressing
of gypsum, soot and house ashes, (equal parts)
applied at night, or just before a rain. As
soon as the plants make their appearance an
other application of the the same mixture is
given; a third follows after weeding. The
seeding should be soaked Jrom twenty-four
to thirty-six hours before sowing in house ley.
or water in which there is some principle ca
pable of softening the pericarp which is re
markably indurated especially when the seed
is old. —Germanfotcn ‘Telegraph.
Nutriment and Digestion*
The Cincinnati Nonpareil has quite a sen
sible article on eating and drinking, in the
course of which, the editor gives some fact
in relation to various articles of food. The
following table of the amount of nutritiou>
matter in different grains, is well worth pre
servation for reference:
100 lbs. Wheat contain 85 lbs nutriment.
“ Corn- “ 97 . “
“ Rice u 90 “
Rve 44 80 44
“ Barley 44 83
44 Beans “ 90 *

;; Potatoes contain 55 :i
44 Beets 44 14 “
4> Carrots 44 11 u
44 Greene & turnips 8 “
44 Bread 44 SO 44
It will be seen from the above that meat is
not the most nutritious food, ns is generally
supposed. The laboring man often thinks he
cannot perform a day’s work without meat;
but the fact is that it ie not half as nu ritious
as wheat, corn, rye. or leans- Meat is more
stimulating than vegetables, and does not
maintain eo true an equilibrium in the system.
Uniformity iu our feelings and habits is desi
rable—that is. we should be constantly in good
health and spirits. It seems, therefore, that
meat is not favorable to this state, and should
be gradually dispensed with.
That wall'be conceded to be the best food
which supplies the greatest amount of nutri
tion with the least effort of the digestive or
gans. To determine this, we will give the re
sults of a long course of experiment which Dr.
Beaumont conducted with a soldier tvho had
been wounded, and the wound so healed as to
leave an opening into the stomach through
which the operation of digestion could be ob
served.

From the above table, it will be seen that it
requires more effort to digest animal than ve
getable food ; while the latter furmShes double
the nutriment of the former. Common sense,
therefore, settles the question of preference-
