A meat may be tender, nntritiooa, and ordi- narily digestible, but if from any idioeyn. crasy ot the patient, or from his lack of ca- pacity to asBunilate ita nutritive propertiaa, it fails to afford the desired nouriahment,it8 use ahoold not be continued. Presnppoaing that the physician ia cognizant of hia pa- tient'a phyaical pecnliaritiea, he is the best judge of his diet, and usually will indicate It but general information on the anbject is always useful to those in charge of the sick-room. Beef is the most used in healtli it is the most stimulating and nutritious of all fleah when the system is able to digest it, and its flavor does not offend the moat fastidious palate; it is always in season. But in some physical conditions the use of mutton is pre- ferable, because it if le^s stimulating, Itss highly flavored, and more digestible In such casps it is really more nutritions than beef, because its nutritiye elements can be assimilated for instance, mutton is a better meat than beef for dyspeptics. The broth made from mutton ia uo more digestible than that of beef, and is less nutritious. If all fat is removed from it in cookinp, its flavor is more delicate. Lamb should not be used by dyspeptics, altbcmgh tender, because its soft, semi-glutinous tissue renders complete mastication difficult. If lamb is used during illness it should be broiled, because by that prc]ce83 its loose texture is made compara- tively dense, and the entire substance of the flesh is thoroughly cooked. The flavor of lamb is of course more delicate than that of mutton. As the indigestibility of veal is^ue to this looseness of tibre, it also should be thoroughly cooked. There is no reason why underdone meat should be considered more nutritious than that which is moderately and properly cook- ed, with all its juices preserved. The chemi- cal elements of underdone meat are not suf- ficiently acted upon by heat to be either readily digested or assimilated. Unless a physician orders raw or partly cooked meat, it is far better to give an invalid well- done meat, or that which is only medium rare. Of course pork should not be eaten by any one who has not the strongest of digestive organs. Salt pork with lean flesh is difficult to digest fat salt pork cut very thin and broiled is sometimes given to invalids as an "appetizer" in New England. Boiled Eng- lish bacon is used by dyspeptics in England, where it is considered by physicians to pos- sess exceptional qualities more or less cura- tive in dyspepsia. It should if possible be cooked in a double gridiron over a moderate fire, and when delicately browned, served hot with a very little Cayenne pepper dusted over it. When the fire is not in good con- dition for broiling, the bacon may ba laid on slices of bread arranged in a dripping-pan, and quickly baked in a very hot oven the bread will absorb all the lat wLich flows from the bacon of course it is not to be eaten by the dyspeptic invalid, but the toast with the bacon on it is not a bad breakfast dish for healthy people. I here give several recipes which will be useful â€" PoKTABLE Beef Tea (a stimulating nutri- ent, useful in general illness, and during tra- velling). â€" Chop two pounds ot lean beef very fine, put it into an earthern bowl with one ounce of gelatine and one pint of cold water, and soak it for an hour then put it into a saucepan and gradually heat it to the boiling point then strain it through a fine wire sieve, and put it into a wide-mcuthed glass bottle or jar set the jar in a saucepan, and let the beef tea heat again while the water boils cork the jar tight, and seal it. The jar can then be taken from the boiling water and cooled. When the beef tea is wanted for use, dissolve two teaspoonsful of it in half a cupful of boiling water, season it with a little salt, and give it to the patient hot. Beef Jttice ox Toast (a stimulating, nu- tritious, digestible food, useful in general illness where the system requures concentra- ted nutriment in disorders of the aliment- ary canal this food ia of especial use, as it can be digested and assimilated with ease. )â€" Broil a slice of lean round steak for six minutes on each side, taking care not to bum it meantime make a slice of delicate toast when the beef is broiled, put it on a plate and cut it in very smaU pieces; spnnkic it litrhtly with salt, tet another plate on it, and squeeze the beef between the two, let- ting the juice run out on the toast; serve the toast hot. Chopped Beefsteak (a nutritious, stimu- lating food, more digestible than unchopped steak, and valuable in all sickness caused by malnutrition).-Trim the fat from a pound of round or sirloin steak, cut the meat m inch pieces, put it into a meat chopper or mincing machine, and chop it for fave min- utes; then take from the top ot the meat the fine pulp which rises during the operation of chopping; continue to chop luid to remove the pulp until only the fibre of the meat r^- mains. "^Press the pulp into a round flat cake, and broil it over a very hot fare lor about five minutes on each side season it lightly with salt and Cayenne pepper, and 'Tselectng beefsteak for invaUds, some persons choose the filet, or tenderlom. be- ^^ it seems most tender; it is hardly more SSble on that account, for its looseners S fibre does not favor complete mastication; ^d His less nutritious than sWom or round t^g because its muscular tissue is not so wlfTnourished as that of the ,l^t-nBmjd Tuts. Beef for the use of mvahds should Sher be broiled quickly over a vepr hot fire have been broken in chopping it, and pnt the bone with the me^t set the sancepaa ivtft the fire, and let its contents slowly ap- proach the boQing-poiDt; if any scnm ariaes, remove it. Meantime pick over half a cup- ful of pearl-barley, waah it thoroughly in cold water, put it in a bowl, and cover it with warm water after the mutton broth bdla, dnin the barley and add it to the broth, together with two level teaapooiiaful oi. salt and a small red pepper, or a dnat of Cayenne cover tiie saucepan, and let the broth simmer very gently for t^o hours; then remove the bone, and serve the broth with the mutton uid barley in it. If the di- gestive organs are very much enfeebled, the broth may be strained before using. The fat can be entirely removed from the broth by laying pieces of soft white paper sncoeaaive- ly on its surface; the paper will absorb the fat, but not the broth. Mutton-Chops, Bboiled (a nutritious dish, less stimulating than beef, and more digestible useful in general convalescence, and more suitable than beef for delicate in- valids, women, and children). â€" Use chops cut from the shoulder or loin of full-grown tender mutton to insure having the chops juicy let them be about an inch thick trim off naarly all fat, put them between the bars of a double gridiron, and broil them quickly over a very hot fire â€" five minutes on each side serve them on a hot dish, with a very little salt, pepper and butter, and a slice of dry toast or a plain boiled potato, as the pa- tient's condition will permit. â€" Harper's Ba- zar. Tbe ERg-Dance in India. The Indian egg dance is not, as one might expect from the nime given it, a dance upon these fragile objects. It is executed in this wise. The dancer, dressed in a corsage and very short skirt, carries a willow wheel of moderate diameter fastened horizontally upon the top of her head. Around this wheel threads are fastened, equally distant from each other, and at the end of each of these threads is a slip noose, which is kept open by a glass head. Thus equipped, the young girl comes towards the spectators with a basket full of eggs, which she passes around for inspection, to prove that they are real, not imitations. The music strikes up a jerky monotonous strain, and the dancer be- gins to whirl around with great rapidity. Then, seizing an egg, she puts it in one ot the slip nooses, and, with a quick motion throws it from her in such a way as to draw the knot tight. The swift turning of the dancer produces a centrifugal force which stretches the thread out straight like a ray shooting from the circumferencp of the cir- cle. One after another, the eggs are thrown out in these slip nooses until they make a horizontal aureole or halo above the dancer's head. Then the dance becomes more rapid â€" so rapid, in fact, that it is difficult to dis- tinguish the features of the girl. The mo- ment is critical; the least false step, the least irregularity, of time, and the eggs dash against each other. But how can the dance be stopped There is but one way â€" this is to remove the eggs in the way in which they have been put in place. This operation is by far the most delicate of the two. It is necessary that the dancer, by a single mo- tion, exact and unerring, should take hold of the egg and remove it fronn the noose. _A single false motion of the hand, the least in- terference with one of the threads and the general arrangement is suddenly broken, and the whole performance disastrously end- ed. At last all the eggs are successfully removed, and then the dancer stops, and without seeming in the least dizzied by the dance of twenty-five or thirty minutes, ad- vances with a firm step to the spectators and presents them with the eggs, which are im- mediately broken in a flat dish to prove that there is no trick in the performance. A good story is smngabont the dabs con- cerning a New Y(»k nMlUonaire who owns a big stock farm in New Jersey. He lua pot in force strict mies about the adnittanoe of cariosity-seekers, and if one happens to get in, he is soon hnetled off. The other day a neighbonng farmer called on bnaineaa. He had never been on the place before, and en- tering at a sate he found open was strolling around looking for the saperintendent,when the owner, who happened to b^ there, en- ooantered him. Sappoaing him to be mere- ly an idler or prying person, he asked him what he was doing were. The fanner, taken aback by such an address, replied "No- thing." The owner said "Do yon know at whidi gateyou came in " "I do, " said the fanner. "Well, then," said the owner, "get oot there as soon as yon can " and the farm- er walked out. Shortly after the superin- tendent came up and inquired if neighbor so- and-BO had been there. He was the only one anywhere about who had timber they vranted very much, and they wanted it im- mediately. He had promised to come that morning and see about the sale of it. "Well," said the owner of the farm, "I shouldn't wonder if I had just sent him off with a flea in his ear. I found a man stroll- ing about here, and supposing him to be one of these stragglers I cleared him out. Where does he live I will drive over and see him." Off he started at once. Reaching the farm-house he drove in, and seeing him began an apology, but was cut short by the farmer, who inquired if he knew at which gate he came in. He said he did. "Then," says the farmer, "I want you to get out as quick as you can " and the owner of the stock farm was obliged to depart.'â€" New York Tribune. â-  '»*-4-4^»-Vi lilll 'Chinese Bed-Spread. l-ne CO.

It must have struck every intelligent fre- quenter of the concert-rooms to wtiat hope- less straits an enthusiastic admirer of any particular singer is put when asked to give reasons for appreciating the merits of his fa- vorite. The answer, if one is given, is often couched in vague generalities, and in some cases may be said to amount to literally no- thing at all. The artist has a good voice, one is told, a clear enunciation, has perform- ed certain tours de force with success, and even (for such reasons have ere this been given) his general appearance and deport- ment are pleasing. Why should this inca- pacity to give a reason for liking a thing ex- ist? The explanation is clear enough to those who have turned their attention to the fact that an audience taken collectively knows little or nothing of the art of singing and even were the very executant, who is the object of applause, interrogated as to the cause of his or her success, in but few cases, probably, would a satisfactory explanation be forthcoming, for although he or she may have received such education in the art as is usually afforded, that education does not take into account the fact that explanation may sometimes be required. There exists, indeed, no complete and intelligent system of vocal training. Pupils are not required to reason suffice it if, after years of toil, by hook or crook, rightly or wrongly, they ac- quire the power to produce certain effects. It may be pointed out as an extraordinary fact that while singing is the most widely diffused of all arts, no art is more m its in- fancy with regard to the principles on which it is taught. I will not stop to offer an ex- planation of the anomaly. A fine voice may go a long way with an uncritical audience, and there are many singers, I fear, who set a higher value on the apparent satisfaction of others than on the absolute consciousness of having satisfied themselves.â€" 7%« Nme- Uenih Century. »-•« ♦-• â€" ^â- ~^"""" The work of freeing the slaves still goes on in Brazil. The Condesaa de Banal e Pedra Bnisic gave liberty, on her birthday, to forty shives, the last she possessed, rauong to about one hundred in aU the number she has emancipated gratuitously.

Several emanciMtions smce last maU are also reported from Penjambaco. In Ama2»no8 a bUl has been brought in to vote 10.000 miles to the Emancipation So- ciety of Manaos, and at the openmg of the library two slaves were freed. An Advertising Swindle. The Manchester police are trying to ar- rest a man who has swindled a number of people in that city in an ingenious maimer. The man advertised in one of the evening papers that be wanted to borrow £30, by which he could realise £100, offering to give the best security for the return of the money within a month, together with a bonus of £7. In one case a Mridow lady answered tbe advertisement, and a gentlemanly-look- ing man, a foreigner, calll upon her, giv- ing the name of John Christian. He offered her as security for the advance a number of pawn tickets, purporting to relate to a quantity of valuable jewellery. She lent him £30, and in a few days he called upon her again, and obtained another £20, giving her at the same time a promissory note for £56, 10s., the £fi, 10s. being the interest he promised for the loan. As the lady did not hear from him within the time promised she sent some one to an address he had given, and it was then found that it waj a ficti- tious address, and that stveral letters ad- dressed to it had been returned to the 1 senders by the post office authorities. In a number of cases the man had been successful in obtaining money in this manner. The police have communicated with the pawn- brokers whose names were on the tickets, but in most instances the tickets were found to be valueless. The KnKllsIi Robin. The English robin is a better songster than I expected to find him. The poets and writers have not done him justice. He is of the royal line of the nightingale, and in- herits some of the qualities of that famous bird. His favorite hour for singing is the gloaming, and I used to hear him the last of all. His song is peculiar, jerky, and spas- modic, but abounds in the purest and most piercing tones to be heard â€" piercing from their smoothness, intensity, and fullness of articulation rapid and crowded at one mo- ment, as if something had suddenly given way, then as suddenly pausing, and, scintil- lating at intervals, bright, tapering shafts of sound. It stops and hesitates, and blurts out its nots like a stammerer; but when they do come they are marvellously clear and pure. I have heard green hickory branches thrown into a fierce blaze jet out of the same fine, intense musical sounds on the escape of the imprisoned vapors in the hard wood as characterize the robin's song. â€" Longman's for May. A BathinK Costnme. the earliest of this One of the earliest of this season s sea- shore bathers to fall under careful observa- tion wore a garment of loosely woven but rather thick blue flannel, dark navy blue, w ith very short sleeves that fitted the arm closely and a loose collar that showed her brown throat. From her neck to just be- low the knee it was one garment. Over thiti she wore a short skirt of the same ma- terial, the belt of which was a broad piece of blue webbing fastening with a strong buckle. "Moderate pressure on the waist does not inconvenience the swimmer," the writer says, " and if the belt should happen to give out, she could easily kick off the skirt and come to sjjallo^ water, where *a cloak could be given to her in which she could w^ to her bathing house. She was barefooted, and was one of the compara- tively few girls who haven't coma that render their feet unfit for publication." ViY TOKB. ofNawyoA^nioItalMrtoSereeii Tbalr P wv w tj F from V«tlitaa*a Kye. " One half the peo^e In New York live," â- aid a philosopher the other day, " and the other half pretend to live." This is truer than most pei^le sospeet. The number of persons who give thmr lives to making an appearance is astonishing, and the devices to which they resort to be thought genteel and to avoid working, for a living would as- tonish the world if fully exposed. One of tiie most interesting cases of shabby genteel will be foand at tbe Family Hotel. Every one of these establishments has one or more lodgers who live in the top of the house in the cheapest apartments, next to the ser- vants who take their meals at cheap res- tanrants or beer saloons, but who dress well, and use monogram note paper, and receive their company in the hotel parlor, and gen- erally assume the style and airs of retired well-to-do people. In one case recently brought to the attention of the writer, a lady and her two daughters occupied rooms at one of the most fashionable hotels in the city for two years. Her daughters furnished the income, by very hard work, one of them as a copyist, and the other in a large tele- graphic house. But no one in the hotel ever suspected that they depended upon their labor for their income. The young ladies made together about $25 or $30 a week, and on this sum they managed by the most pinching economy in eating, to dress well and move in a certain circle. But the air of disdain with which they spoke of people who were compelled to work and the poetic references they constantly made to their blood and ancestry produced the most re- dpectf nl treatment from all who came in con- tact with them. A young lady and her father, who lived at the Westminster for some time and passed as a belle in certain sets, worked in a book-binder's establish- ment in Nassau street, and actually support- ed her father in his genteel airs. In this case it came to the knowledge of the writer that this young lady, ou more than one oc- casion, went supperless to bed because she had to pay for a coupe. Another form of pretentious gentility is found in those families that hire houses, and then sub-let all but a couple of rooms, re- taining the use of the parlor to make a show, and always turning up their noses at people who are compelled to live in flats. ' ' O, we," they always say, "couldn't be restricted to a flat, you know. It may do fir people who have never had the freedom of a whole house, but we must have our own establish- ment." If they live in a basement house they have to put up sometimes with a doctor or a dentist, but they compromiee by calling his room the library when they have a party. There are hundreds of genteel people living on Lexington Avenue, who for the sake of making it appear that they occupy a whole house to themselves, arc content to bunk in the garret and cook with the oil stove. But they make enough off their wages to dress well and have a coach and livery take them to the park in the afternoon. It is said, by those who know, that the gay cavalcade to be seen on a pleasant afternoon on the ave- nue is made up in the unequal proportions cf millionnaires and beggars, who, so far as dress is concerned, can not be distinguished from each other. In the ranks of the operatives who live on the East Side it is curious to know that a coach is the sign of gentility. To be able to hire a coach is the weakness of hundreds of girls who work by the week down town, and it is for this reason, perhaps, that in the poor classes funerals have become a sort of evidence of gentility, the condition of the family being rated by the number of coaches. There are scores of girls who give mutio lessons who spend nearly all they make at the livery stable. They are driven to their pupils' houses in coupes, and they are very particular about the livery. The superin- tendent of a large envelope factory in this city said that some years ago a fainting epidemic broke out among his girls. With- out any premonition whatever, an operator would suddenly fall over as if dead, and he was in the habit sometimes of calling a car- riage and sending the invalid home. But when the thing grew to affect the whole fac- tory, he turned one of his rooms into a hos- pital, from which moment not a girl fainted. It was not till some time alter that he dis- covered by accident that it was the ride home in the coach that had brought on the epidemic. â€" Neiv York Journal. A little girl stopped in the midst of her play one day, clasping her hands to her neck as she felt a sharp^pain there, exclaiming, "Oh! oh!"

Physical courage which despises all danger will make a man brave in one way, and moral courage which despises all opinion will make a man brave in another. The former would seem most necessary for the camp, the latter for council but to constitute a great man both are necessary. It may be set down as a rule that no one can ever afford not to be a gentlemen. It IS best to learn thia rule eaily and practice it late. It is not well to say mean things of another, because in most cases you will have to take it all back in bitterness of heart when he does you an unexpected favor. It is not wise to treat any one brusquely, be- eanse you can not always judge a bird by the feathers he has on. It is not well to look down on any body because the time may come when he will look down unon you. There ia a certain selfhood in every cms which should be respected.
