BOSTON". "C" —In view of the increase in the price of beef during the prist few weeks and the probability of this increased price continuing, or even going higher, it is important that the public should have it. explained to them that they can prociin: just as nutritious food at even lower prices hi in that obtained for beef before vhe rise.

The markets on the Atlantic and Pacific, coasts are n.w plentifully supplied with the choicest kinds of seasonable ii.-hes. Every purse and every variety of taste is abundantly provided for. for the supply ranges front salmon, shad andtr.mt, which are the highest- priced fishes now in the market, although below the price of porterhouse ste:.k, to the democratic codfish, the halibut, 1'onnder, etc., which are sold at prices ranging at from one-eighth to half the present price of IK

An important feature of the abundance of fish at this season is the facility with which all the ordinary and most of the delicate kinds can be shipped to the inland states without injuring their nutritive value or their llavor. As a ruie, it, is very difficult to obtain good fresh fish, even fresh water fish, in inland markets. Why this is so t.iu only be accounted for by either the «'ip:.thy or want of enterprise of the inland dealers and the general disregard of the public of the fact that fresh fish can, as readily, safely and economically, be transported from either the Atlantic or I-acilic coasts to the interior states as can the beef of Chicago be s.Mr.ped to the seaboard states. As a matter of fact, fresh salmon and halibut arrive in the New York rind Boston markets from the Columbia river and 1'Hirer sound—right .-.cross the

in a perfectly fresh condition. In the present condition of the beef market, this is a, very important matter for the consideration of our friends in the interior week, states, but. because of the chronic scarcity of fresh lish in their markets, amounting almost to its absence, the people of tho middle states have neve? given a- thought to the value c.f II -i as food or to ncomparison of its nut rii ive qualities and prices with those of beef, mutton, etc.

In tho present crisis a, consideration of these matters is of the highest national economic importance, and I shall here point out some facts concerning the value of lish as food as compared with beef, etc., and endeavor to show than both the health and pockets of our friends in the interior, as well as in the seaboard states, would be seriously benefited by adopting a more generous habit of fish dietary.

Probably tho first question to decide is, Is lish as nutrit ions as beef, having regard to prices in the comparison? This will make the issue comprehensive. It is unnecessary to take more than one kind of fish in this arjroment, for the nutritive values of all fishes differ widely, and it would make the comparison less easily understood if I introduced many varieties.

I shall take the codfish for my exam] le, and as the food values of most, lishcs may be said to have the same ratio of nutritive quality to price, excepting those which arc used more as luxuries than for food, this comparison will fully answer the purpose.

At,

sirloin beef is from 25 to iiO cents per pound that of codfish ranges from 10 cents per pound for live fish, t.o (5 and 8 cents for dead fish with the entrails removed. In estimating the relative cheapness or dcarness of food materials the following plan is considered the simplest, and I adopt it for that reason: The nutrients consist of protein (physiologically the most important), fats and carbohydrates. Protein is assumed to cost five times as much as carbohydrates and fats three times as much. "The computed costs of protein in dilfer-

ent foods thus affords a basis for comparing the relative expensiveness of the foods." The percentage of protein in sirloin beef as it is purchased is 10 per cent and in the edible portion of the meat, with the bones, etc-., removed, 20 per cent. In the codfish tho percentage of protein differs from 10.(j per cent in the fish (as it is purchased whole) to l").Sper cent in the edible portion of tho fish. Therefore we take both conditions—tin* entire fish and the edible part, and the sirlion plus the bones and skin. etc.. and the absolutely edible part of the beef—and we hace, in average, that the very best, beef contains 17.5 per cent of protein and the codfish lo.3 per cent.

Here we see that- this fish, at about onefourth the price of beef, possesses more than three-fourths of its nutritive quality per pound. Besides this, the fish is more easily digested and contains a much higher quality of phosphoric elements and is for that- reason of infinitely greater value as a rencwer of brain matter, although it should always be remembered that the greatest- percentage of nitrogenous and phosphoric elements are in the skin of the

fish, and the coarser and thicker skinned the better. However, if the nutritive values be aceepted according to the figures I have given, and they sire taken from the analysis made by Professor At water, professor of chemistry at ihe Wesleyan university, for I Mr. Eugene G. Blackford, to whom I am indebted for much of my information, we have an average food benefit- from codfish of 13.1 per cent-as against an average benefit from beef of 17.5 percent, whereas the fish costs about a- quarter as much per pound and is wort hat least three-fourths as much as a food unit. In other words, the codfish when

value for human food with prime beef at 21 cents per pound. This fact cannot be controverted by the most puzzling of statistics or figures, and apart from it is the important, fact that those who consume large meals of beef and other solid food an? not nearly so healthy, brainy or long lived as persons who live upon fish and the lighter kinds of foods. ,s The only question, therefore, that should

remain to decide is how to get fish—fresh fish—to inland towns. A postal card will settle that.

An Ant Doctor.

Mrs. A. E. C. Masked, wild pl-obably knows more about the habits of ants than I any other living person, unless it should be Sir John Lubbock, relates the following curious story of how she observed a number of sick ants visiting their "doctor:" "They were each accompanied by several attendant s, and I knew that they were sick by their emaciated appeal"!nee.—indeed, we first imagined that the ant hospital had turned out for an airing, but. they appeared to have anot her object, in view. A grave, strong looking ant was sitting on a-brick wall, about a foot above the ground, and

crept slowly up the wall to the seat of the 'physician.' Immediately the 'doctor' began to make passes over the afilieted one's head, as though lie were, trying to effect a cure by the electrical qualities or some other properties in. his antennai or feelers. During all this time the sick ant remained perfectly motionless, with bowed head, while going through the operation. "And so one after another came up for treatment, the stream of invalids continuing from sunrise until sunset, when

A CURIOUS PROPHECY.

Partly Fulfilled It Predicts a Dark Future For the United States. Over 40 years ago an old German hermit published in a Bavarian paper a curious prophecy. In it he foretold the Austrian Russian and the Franco-Prus-sians wars, the death of Pope Pius and the Turco-Russian debate at arms. He said that Germany would have three emperors in one year before the*end of the century and indicated the deatli of two United States presidents by assassination. All things have come to pass,

In the same article he said that when tho twentieth century opens great seismic disturbances will take placo which will cause the submersion of New York city and the western half of the city of Havana. Cuba is to break in two, while Florida and Lower California aro to suffer total extinction. The shock of these earthquakes will raze buildings to the ground in almost every city on the continent. Millions of lives and billions of dollars' worth of property will bo lost.

There is to bo a" change in tho economic conditions of almost every civilized nation. He foretells the growth of a democratic spirit in England which will result in a revolution that will overthrow the present form of government and make the country a republic. Ho says the last ruler of England will be tho best the country every had, and the first president of tho new nation will be one of the royal family.

Queen Victoria is by long odds the best ruler England has ever had, and in a recent speech tho Prince of Wales said it is his desiro to livo to see England a republic.

According to tho hermit, Russia, France and Italy will form an alliance and will enter into war with Turkey. This war is to be tho outgrowth of Turkish persecution of Christian subjects. This triplo alliance will conquer the domain of the sick man of the east. At the expiration of tho war complications will ariso which will plunge Italy and France into war with Russia. The result will bo that tho two countries will be gobbled up by tho northern power and will eeaso to exist as independent nations. Whilo war is being waged between them tho pope will movo tho seat of Catholicism from Romo to some town in southern Ireland. A rebellion will take placo in the land of the shamrock, in which tho country will become independent of England. Then a conflict will ariso between tho ultra Catholics of the south of Ireland and the ultra Protestants of tho north, in which the southrons will bo tho victors. A kingdom will bo established, and it is predicted that the reign of tho first potentate will become historic for its tyranny.

The prophet paints a dark future for tho United States. Ho says at tho close of tho century a feeling of unrest will seize the people. This feeling will be the outgrowth of unequal social and economic conditions. Ho predicts that tho twenty-fifth president will bo tho last executive head of the United States. During his administration tho discontented masses will break into open rebellion, and the established form of government will be overthrown. The United States will be rent asunder, and for a year or moro anarchy will prevail. When order shall be brought out of chaos, six republics will bo formed, with capitals at tho following cities: San Francisco, Denver, New Orleans, St. Louis, Washington and Boston.— Topeka Press.

A Meerschaum I'ipe Cinch. "Talk about luck, said an actor who is at liberty. "I am tho luckiest man you ever saw. I was in a joint in Montreal last year, and tho barkeeper showed mo a meerschaum pipe—a beauty, worth £7. "'You see,' said tho barkeeper, 'there was a drummer in here from BuiFalo, and he went broke and put up lo pipes of this kind for his bill out of his samplo case. I've got seven of them left, and if you'll give me $7 I'll give you the lot.' "So he showed mo tho others, and I thought it was a snap, so I borrowed £7 and took the pipes. I put up tiie best one for raillo with our company tho first day the ghost walked for $12, and ono of tho girls won it. As she didn't need a pipe she put it up again and got $10 out of it, and I won the pipe back on a 50 cent chance. I raided it otf again tho samo day for and had six pipes left. Well, sir, you'd never believe it, but I cleared $-57 off of thoso pipes tho first two weeks out and kept litis ono." lie took out a dark and grimy meer-•-chjium, with a broken stem and an amber mouthpiece, that smolled worso than a dead mackerel. "Got tiny smoking tobacco you?" ho inquired.—Pittsburg patch.
