"WHY WE BUTTER OUR BREAD.

The layers of the wheat bony, as wc proceed toward its centre, become more and more completely starchy, and at the centre but little else is found, and this portion makes our finest flour. The finer the flour the less fit it is for nutrition. In its natural state, the wheat, with all its components present, is not fully fitted for perfect human development. There is deficiency in the potential heat-producing materials, especially for cooler climates, there being only 2 per cent of fat in wheat. We instinctively supply this deficiency by the addition of fatty bodies. We spread butter upon bread, we mingle lard or butter with our buscuit or cake, and the fat meat and bread arc taken alternately or coiucideutly. The starch being a car bonhyclrata, can afford, comparatively, but little beat in consumption, and the fats are demanded by the wants of the system.

HOW TO GET RID OF A MUNI CIPAL DEBT.

For rank and luxurious public dis honesty (observes the New York Tribune) semi-tropical Louisiana carries off the palm. The State has twice scaled down her debt, and now the city of New Orleans proposes to get rid of hers by a trick of legislation and municipal division. A Bill is pending in the Legisla ture for repealing the charter of the city’ and placing its effects in the hands of commissioners, who are to sell them out to the highest bidder and distribute the money among the creditors. Then the city is to he divided into three municipal districts, numbered one, two, and three, in order to escape process from the United States Courts in suits of creditors holding her bonds. As their would be no mayor or corporation of tbe city of New Orleans upon whom ti e Marshal could serve a writ or mandamus he would have to return such document to the Court with the endorsement “not found.” Practically the city would abscond, leaving for her creditors only the city hall, police stations, and a few other pieces of portable property. The originality of the scheme is only equalled by its rascality.

A BOLD ACTRESS.

Calais just now teems with recreation} and its inhabitants have enjoyed an op* porfcunity of witnessing a performance least as sensational as that of the cannon ball catcher at Berlin, or the female pro jectile who was fired through a net at the Aquarium the other day. A theatrical company and a travelling menagerie com pete nightly for the favour of the Calais public, and it recently occurred to Mdllc Josse, a rising young actress attached to the former troupe, that a great success might be achieved by combining the attrac tions of the two establishments in her own person. This happy thought she pro ceeded to realise by obtaining permission from the menagerie proprietor, M. Bidel, to enter the cage in which his lions habitually reside, and there to declaim Victor Hugo’s “Caravan.” Bidel, as ■ might have been expected, jumped at the notion, stipulating, however, that he should stand by the side of the bold damsel during the recitation, as a taste for poetry had not been sufficiently de veloped in his lions to assure him of their good behaviour as auditors. The perfor mance came off' a few nights ago ; and it appears that Hugo’s inspired numbers ex ercised so depressing an influence upon the lions that they never once, through out the reading, offered to investigate Mdlle. Josse’s merits as a comestible, but expressed their sympathetic interest in the proceedings by a few appreciative growls. Perhaps they recognised Mdlle. Josse’s claims, as an indisputable “ lionne,” to be considered one of themselves.

A MOST IMPUDENT ACTION.

An action for damages for breach of promise to marry which was of an umisu’J character has been heard at the Hertford Assizes. The plaintiff was a young woman named Anna Maria Palmer, aged 24, daughter of a grocer at Sotherey, Norfolk ; the defendant, John Wootton, was, the son of a farmer in good position at. the same place, and was about one year j hunger. He pleaded that he had never made a pro mise of marriage, and that if he had it was mutually rescinded, and he also pleaded that he was not of age when tie alleged promise was made. It rvas not disputed that the promise was originally made when the defendant was not of ago, hut the case for the plaintiff was that the promise was renewed after he rvas 21, and counsel said lie should produce letters to show that the defendant promised to marry the plaintiff after he came of age. He said he believed that a very serious issue would he raised upon these letters, inasmuch as he was informed that the de fendant declared that he had never had any correspondence with the plaintiff after the intimacy had been broken off, and that the dates of these letters were for geries. The intimacy between the defen dant and the plaintiff was not agreeable to the parents of the former, and they were obliged to meet secretly, and all the letters that passed between them were conveyed by a trusty messenger, and it appeared to have been the practice of the defendant not to put any date to the letters. Plaintiff’s father got into diffi culties and removed to Watford, and hj 1879 the defendant married another la%, who was said to be possessed of coussfer able property, and the present action was commenced. A number of letters ©f' the usual character were read which showed that the parties were on very affectionate terms, and there were expressions in them that amounted to a pvon\ise. of marriage. The only question ii\ the case was, as above stated, whether- these letters were written before or after the defendant came of age. At the time the original intimacy occurred the. plaintiff was 19 and the defendant 18 years old. In the year 1870 \he plaintiff became acquainted with another man and was seduced, and de livered of a child in 1877. Nothing mor-a seems to have taken place between tir® parties until the month of January, 1579; when she wrote a letter to the defendant claiming £SOO damages for the breach! of Iris promise to marry her, and threatened to bring an action against him if he- did not comply with her requests The plaintiff was called, and deposed, that she and the defendant were teachers at the Surday-sehool at Sotherey, and she used i to play the harmonium and, he used to j teach. He repeatedly told’ her that as j soon as he was of age andt took a farm he would marry her; and after she left Sotherey the labourers on the farm of defendant’s father used to bring her letters from him. She then told the story of her seduction. The child, she said, was born in January, 1877. She was living with the father of the child, a married man, keeping house for him, and he gave her something to drink that made her insensible. Lord Justice Bramwell here interposed, and asked if it was possible for the jury to find that there was an engagement to marry existing between the parties after she had had a child by another man ? The jury said they did not wish tc hear any more of the case, ar.cl returned a verdict for the defen dant. Lord Justice Bramwell said that it was the most impudent action he had, ever heard of. It was not pretended that; any communication had taken place I between the parties for years, and then I the action was brought for the supposed ; preach of promise to many.

Medical, Advice to mothers.—Are you broken in your rest by a sick child, suffering with the pain of cutting tooth ? - Go at once to the chemist and got a bottle of Mrs. WINSLOW'S SOOTHING - SYRUP. It will relievo the poor sufferer - immediately; It is perfectly harmless ; it produces natural, quiet sleep by reliev- - ing the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes “ as bright as a button.” ■ It has been in use in America, and is "j highly recommended by medical men. It is very pleasant to take ; it sooths the child ; it softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and . is the best known remedy for dysentry and diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or other causes. Be sure and i ask for Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup, and see that “Curtis and Perkins, New York and London,” is on the outside wrapper. No mother should be without it. Sold by all medicine dealers, at Is. lid. —Depot, 493, Oxford street. -ySTHO is Mrs. WINSLOW 1 As this * » question is frequently asked, we shall simply say that she is a lady who for upwards of thirty years has untireingly devoted her time and talents as a female physician and nurse, principally among children. She has especially studied the constitution and wants of this numerous class, and, as a result of this effort and practical knowledge obtained in a lifetime as nurse and physician, she has com pounded a SOOTHING SYRUP for Chil dren. It operates like magic, giving rest and health, and is, moreover, sure to regulate the bowels. In consequence of this article, Mrs. Winslow is becoming world-renouned as a benefactor of her race. Children certainly do rise up and bless her. Especially is this the case in this city. Vast quantities of the Soothing Syrup are daily sold and used here. We think Mrs Winslow has immortalised her name by this invaluable article, and we sincerely believe that thousands of chil dren have been saved from an early grave by its timely use, and that millions yet unborn will share its benefits and unite in calling her blessed. No mother has dis charged her duty to her suffering little one, in our opinion, until she has given it the benefit of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup.

A verv nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE MEXICAN HAIR RE NE WER, now being sold by most Che » mists and perfumers througout the coun try, at 3s. fid. per bottle, is fast super f ceding all the old restorers and dyes for 1 the purpose of changing grey or white > hair to its natural original color, for it 1 will positively restore the hair in every ■ case of grej ness to its original color, with -1 out dyeing it or leaving that offensive smell which most of the hair preparations of the 5 day do. This preparation has never been ? known to fail in restoring the hair to its - natural color and gloss in from eight to 3 twelve days. It promotes growth and 3 prevents the hair falling out, eradicating 3 dandruff, and leaving the scalp in a clean, i healthy condition. It imparts peculiar 1 vitality to the roots of the hair, restoring r it to its youthful freshness and vigor. 3 Daily applications of this preparation for > a week or two will surely restore faded, • grey, or white hair to its natural color and - richness. It is not a dye, nor does it cqn -5 tain any coloring matter or offensive 3 substance whatever. Hence it does not - soil the hands, the scalp, or even white linen, but produces the color within the 3 substance of the hair. Read, the follow -3 ing from Mr. Nathan Berry, Chemist, 1 Walkden ; “One of my customers told 3 me the other day lie had had grey hair T for thirty-five years, and after using one bottle of the Mexican Hair Renewer I sold him, it was restored to and kept its I natural color.” It may be had of any respectable Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealer . in toilet articles in the kingdom, at 3s. fid.

OCKLE’S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS— These Pills consist of a careful and peculiar admixture of the best and mild est vegetable aperients, with the pure ex tract of the Howers of the camomile. They will be found a most efficacious remedy for derangement of the digestive organs, and for torpid action of the liver and bowels, which produce indigestion and the several varieties of bilious and liver complaints. They speedily remove . the irritation and feverish state of the 1 stomach, allay spasm, correct the morbid condition of the liver and organs subser vient to digestion, promote a due and healthy secretion of bile, and relieve the 1 constitution of all gouty matter and other ; impurities, which, by circulating in the blood, most injuriously affect the action : of the kidneys ; thus, by removing the causes productive of so much discomfort, they restore the energies of both body and mind. To those who indulge in the luxuries of the table these pills will prove highly useful, occasioning no pain in their . action, unless they meet with an unusual - quantity of acrid bile and acid matter in i the stomach and bowels. To Europeans • on their arrival in India or China they 1 are recommended as a preservative against ; the fatal disorders peculiar to tropical climates. Their occasional use, if com bined with the strictest attention to diet, will be frequently found to remove at ’ once, by their influence over the secre tions, that congestive and unhealthy con dition of the liver which is so often the earliest antecedent of severe febrile and constitutional disturbance. It must be ; understood that these pills are not recommended as containing any new or dangerously active ingredients; on the contrary, they are characterised by a remarkable simplicity of combination, and whatever merit they may he found to possess depends as much upon the selec tion of pure drugs, and the unusual labor and attention bestowed upon their subse quent preparation, as upon the acknow ledged peculiarity of their composition, They are not recommended as a panacea;- nor are they adapted to all complaints; but as a mild and efficacious aperient and tonic in the various forms of indigestion, it will not, perhaps, be an exaggeration to state that they have been resorted to under all systems of diet, changes of cli mate, or atmospheric alternations with an extraordinary degree of success for upwards of seventy-eight years. This celebrated family aperient may he had throughout the United Kingdom in boxes at Is I£d, 2s 9d, 4s fid, and 11s Od, as well as in India, China, New Zealand, and he Australian Colonies.
