Scoyil, of tho Massachusetts Gen eral Hospital, wo cull tho following hints and recipes: The pure juice may l>e extracted from hoof in two ways: First, by cutting tho moat in small ptooes, putting them in n tightly corked taittlo, immersing it in hot water, and hoiliug for several hours. Second, by taking a thick piece of juicy steuk, broiling it on n gridiron over u clour fire for a few moments, then cutting it iu strips and pressing it hi a lemon squeezer. The juice thus obtained may bo given either cold or hot. It may lie frozen, broken into lumps, and given like cracked ico^ A litup uult should bo added beforo using it. Ail invalid who is tired of hot hoof tea will sometimes drink it cold or iced with grent relish. Enough isinglass or gelatine may bo added to tho juieo to make a jelly, which can be flavored with sherry, essenoo of celery, or anything tho patient may fancy Raw meat is very nutritious, and may lio prepared by shredding tlio beef ex tremely fine, removing every particle of skin or fat. and mixing it with cracker crumbs, A little salt and popper may be added, and tho mixture rolled into tiny balls. In convaloBcenco after typhoid fever the greatest care is necessary with regard to the food, and no now artiolo of diet should bo given without tlio express per mission of tlio doctor. Even so slight an imprudence ns eating a raw apple has lieen known to enuso death. While roast, boiled nnd lu-oilod chicken, mutton chop nnd beef steuk have long held n roeogtiized position in tlio invalid s bill of faro, the merits of a veal sweet bread havo been sndly overlooked. When properly cooked it is n delicious dish, and may tempt a capricious ap petite that 1ms grown weary of other viands.

Tna Metropolitan Horse Oar Com pany, of Boston, has recently introduced tlio registering clock for rooording fares. The other day an elderly lady desired to get off the oar. She rose energetically and pulled the atrap which rang in tlio (area. Before the oonduotor could make her desist n’.o had not only been carried a couple of blocks beyond hor destina tion, lint had regiatered not loss than twenty fares, for which, according tothe company’s rules, tho oonduotor was re sponsible. Tna robust health of the English in general ia said to be dne to their diel They aro good and substantial eaters. They like plain, aolid food, well oooked, and do pot, aa a rule, demand variety. Meat, vegetables, and paddings are their ateple dishes, and thin soaps sad foreign kiokahsws find no favor in their eyes. They despise alike Freneh dishes as rioh and unwholesome, and German oookery as coarse and unpalatable. The roast beef of Old England is their staff of life, and ham and eggs oome next in their good graces. Ioe water is a rarity among the masa of the population, who look on it almost as poison. Evidbnos of the extent of the butl- ness done by Fleming and Meriam and other profeafional grain brokers at Chi cago, the delivery oi money letters to whom was stopped by the Postal De partment a low daya ago, accumulates from dsy to day. It appears they not only received money from farms, towns and villages all over the country, but also from Canada, and oven from some pointe in England and Scotland. The sums transmitted to them, for invest ment in grain futures, are estimated to roaoh into the millions, and it is inti mated that oertein respected and highly ounj v-nwai joined hand* with the the scheme. FiTtLADRLrmA^lawyeni have • question which stumps them at last. The Con- trollership of that city booatno vacant by resignation. The Common Council elected a now man. The person left in clisrgo by the resigning Controller re fuses to give up tho offloo, and the Court sustains him. Lawyers are divided upon the point whether the office is a county or a city ono, to bo flllod by the State Governor or oity govermont in case of vacancy. The mo«t serious feature hf the whole troublo is that all the polioo- mon, sohool teachers, department clerk* and laborer* are kept out of thoir pay, hocaiwo no bill* can bo cashed beforo they are approved by the Controller, and there is no rooognixed Controller to do it. na, comprising pine, chestnut, oak, ma ple, beach and hickory limber in their finest growth.

An inebriated citizen of Butts county, Ga., got in front of an approaching train on the new road not long since, and by wildly waving the tattered remain* of a sanguinary-looking kerchief *uc- ceeded in stopping it. The conductor alighted and inquired the object of the danger signal, when tho inebriated citi zen solemnly drew a* bottle from the depth* of his inner pocket and remarked that he merely wanted to “set ’em up.” It ia recorded of the ungrateful official that he acknowledger] the kind invita tion by the vigorous application of a box-toed number 10.

Tho order itself ia aa high a* any ia the empire or in Europe. Tnr. practicability of photographing landscapes from the window* of trains running at a rate of forty miles an hour, has been recently proved by Dr. Can- dize, who uses what he calls a gyrograph for the purpose. An exposure of only ono ono-huudredth of a second was needed, and after a little practice won derfully distinct views were obtained. John W. Barron, Treasurer of the Dexter (Me.) Savings Bank, was found in the vault of the bank on February 22, 1878, dying from wounds wiiioh lie re’ ceived during tlio night. Many will recall the thrill of admiration that swept over the country, when tho nows was published of Barron’s lioroio death in defense of tho treasure in bia keoping, and tbe painful reaction when the charge was mado that the wounds were self-inflicted to hide a defalcation. Suit brought by tho bank against Barren’s estate led to an examination. For four years the trial has been postponed, and ia now about to be resumed. New evi dence is said to have been found to prove that Cashier Barron was really murdered at bis post of duty. It is worth much to have this almost solitary instanoe of fidelity in a wide waste of banking treachery and criminality.

Secretary Foloer has sent aletter to Congress recommending the oonsoli- dation of customs districts in many in stances, in order to effect a saving in the salaries of officers at ports where the busines* is very small and does not in crease from year to year. The Secre- tary’s recommendations would in effect not lessen tho number of collection dis tricts, but in gome eases rbduce tbe number of officers at the port which, after the reorganization, would comprise all the consolidated ports, and reduce the aggregate cost for salaries *494,295. The Western ports which would bo affected by the proposed consolidations aro the following: It i* proposed to oousohdate with the distrust of Chicago, the districts of Galena, Omaha, Dubnque, and Bur lington; to increase the number of officers land employe* from seventy-six to ninety- one, and tbe cost for salaries from *94 . 418 to $111,880. It is proposed to con solidate with the Minnesota District, at Ht.

Oiiarleh Perrault, a French writer was tho anthor of “Cinderella’s Slipper ” story. At the accession of Francis IL Omsband of Mary Queen of Scots), Pans wns involved in continued broils by tho struggles for precedency between tho confraternities of the draper*, the mercers and the furriers, in which the furriers finally triumphed. Two cent uries ago furs were so rare, and there fore so highly valued, that the wearing of them was restricted by several sumpt uary laws to Kings and Prinoes. Sable, in those Jaws colled vair, was the subject of countless regulations. The exact quality permitted; o be worn by persons of different grades, and the articles of dress to which it might bo applied, were defined most strictly. Porrault’s tale of Cinderella originally marked the dig nity conferred on her by the fairy, by her wearing a slipper of vair, a privilege then confined to the highest rank of Fnnoesses. An error of the press, now become inveterate changed vair into verre, and the slipper of sable was sud denly converted into a glass slipper.
