A Fine Meteorite from Alaska. About eight months ago, John Muir, celebrated as a traveler and a litterateur, noticed in the ,xwis.-*si<>n of some Alaska Indians an aerolite of rare lieauty, and brought a fragment of it to the State Mining Bureau of California. This n|x> imen was examined and tested by subjection to the etching process. The application of acids revealed upon its face the exquisite line* of crystallization which characterizes tree meteoric iron. The body was seen to fall, a mass of flame, by the father of one of the oldest Indiana tn Chil< at, over a hundred years ago, and wa< afterward sought out and carried to hi* hnt in triumph. Through the cooperation of tlie Northwestern Trading Company, the Mining Bureau succee cd in conducting negotiations for its purchase, and, lor n consideration which seems meager as Esau a tn< as of jxittage in the eyes of scientist*, the State of California acquired clear title to the meteor, and it Las arrived in San Franci-ce. The aerolite is exceedingly irregular in shape; and the projecting pointe are as bright a* if they had been burnished. A suco s*ion of nnt-shaped hollows, which cover auaoat the entire surface, nnd give it a curious asjiect, and iti fantastic contour looks slnioat as if it had been molded by some unknown power into the shape of the head of a strange lienat.

These people forget that variety really nouriaheo tho body, and makes up for that food which can alone supply our requirements. Beside that there ia no real economy in it Meat aad bread coot mure than vegetables and pudding oom bined with them. The former leave you craving for something atoo, which you have to eatiafy, while a good mixed diet supplies all yoar wants. Yon can often see workingmen or boys gulp down their hunches ot bread and meat, and look around them for > oom thing they have not got The thint quenching, succulent vegetable ie not there ; the tasty second dish is wanting, and the craving remains unsntiaded- Hail, double ia spent in drinks.
