Frjm Health and Home. Important Conversation About Bating. BY A DOCTOR. Good Morn in. Doctor. I am so glad yo'u have cat'el: bs seated, I liave some important questions to ask. Be assured I shall answer yon, if possible, with great pleasure. Speak freely.' Well, Doctor, my first question is, How many meals should we eat daily?' 'Some think -we should eat three, others two, others one.' Rut, Dector. I want your opinion? I think the habit of eating two meals a day is the best for me. I eat in the mornlrsr and asam at ooon: never tn the atnmmiftf eveninj, escept when social 'qnette requires if. 'iitjt d.ie rot vi'-nr appetite er:ive Fd in 'he evfnin?' 'It dors not.' 'Kut .uppose if j'hon'd?" Thf r I should drink a very little milk or weak tea ' Why not eat after ihe day's work is done?" Because either the mind or body, or both, have already been tsxed by the labor of Ihe day and need rest. Explain ' . The system is taxed heavily in carrying on the process of digesting food. Early in the day the vital forces are in full strength, and the system i well able to spare enough for the digestion of a hearty i meal. The same is true to a large degree st noon; but in the evening the vital for- I ces nave t.ren nearly or quire exnaus tea, j

The celebrated Hippocrates, the 'Father of Medicine, says in hi- writ iiigs; 'When a man so far lorsjrets him soil' as to eat more than one meal a day, he soon becomes thirsty or stupid ' I know of an intelligent ami ii.fluen ial man, a friend .f mine, now nearly three score and ten, who. for the first three fourths of bis life, accorded with li e ordinary custom ofcaifng three meals; then, ufier cireftiily studying i lie n! ject, I e limited him stU'to two, m.d still later, to one. lie found two more leiUhtul than three, and uow, after nearly lour sears of trial, pro-nou.-.ces one n:ore b.calihl'ul thati even two At his present advanced age, he seems to bo more vigorous than fir the last twenty five years. lie says tho one meal system-', is i nc oest soi mm Well, 1 will try the two meal system eating morning and noon.

I have heard it mooted and desire to be informed. Purely the question is important.' 'I sgree with you, but you state it in a iieneral form. If you were to ask mo it we should drink much, I should say ne; or if you were to ask me if we should drink in order that we may eat more rapidly I should say no.'

HOW Ml'CU SHALL WE EAT? Dector, I will detain you only to answerone questiou more. What do you advise concerning the quantity of food?"

The MttiT thanks. Doctor, foryour kindness. I hope to profit by it.' How Tliey Reformed. The Democratic party went into the last canvass professing the deepest solicitude for the iuterest of the people, as against mere partisan interests and aggrandisement, and pledged itself to reform existing abuses; this work should be put foremost; mere party questions should be made secondary. Uow was this pledge redeemed when ihey got control in the Legislature? Wha act hive they passed that can be called a measure of reform? The Fee and Saiary Bill, which is worse than the old fee bill, is the only measure of general ap plication they have passed. There was a bill before them providing for the taxation cf Bank stock; a bill regulating Insurance Companies, which, if pissed, would have furnished the btate a considers ore revenue; a bill to provide for a fair tax on railroads; a bill to regulate freights; a bill j for the enlargement of the Hospital for the i Insane,- a bill cutting down the fees and salaries of State Seers, and other impor tant measures; but these Democratic reformers placed tho legislative apportionment bill out of its order and give it precedence overall these important measures, aud were determined to put it thieugh as the condition upon which these measures should pass. The Uepublic'aus begged them to allow these measures to be acted upon before taking up purely pirns in measures: but it hadto be put through, or all else should fail. Ia other words they proposed to compel Republicans to submit to an unconstitutional apportionment bill, one which really disfranchised almost half th. Bopublicans .f the State, or defeat all neccssiry legi-lation O course tt.ey wiu go before the county charging the Bp .b icans with the woole respou-UMti'y of the failure of these nieas'.ues e are ready io uivc iu usw ihe c-.se presents If they can go before the people aud justify themselves upon ile proposition that one Democrat ii entitled to as much representation in the Legisla ture as two Republicans, we shall couiess ourselt mistaken as to the stuff out ol which lloosiers are made. This is just what they asked us to concede; we refused to do if, and we have no fear of the con sequences Greensbuig staudard. A Difficult Question Answered.

BROOK VILLE, 1ND., FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1871,

Tho Drunkard's Wife. BY AMKLIA B. GATKELU gh, we(ps and Wk8 upo ,he time pQne When pleasure glowed in her true wifely I heart, To hear the woild accord its meed of praise tlnto his gpnius, and the tear-drops start Afresh in scalding bitterness at, thought That should have been with peace and gladness fraught. For memory's sur.lit days hut make moredreaJ, The gloom which overshadows all around, For wine has proved his "mocker,1" and the head That once with talent's laurel wreath was rowtied Now wears the drunkard's branded loathsome name; And yet, almost forgetful of his sin, She meekly shares with him tho scorn and shame, And loves him now for what he once has been. Remembering siill h?r plighted vows of trutli, In those bright halcyon days of suuny youth. O woman's h-ard so boundless in its lore, That sin nor suffering ils depths can sound; O woman's hopes! that but illusions prove, To be so quickly dashed unto the ground. O glorious lovo, thai Ine3 when hope has fl.nn; O soul heroic, suffering, and mek, To heaven has risen your plaintive, pleading moat.; And soon shall o.ua the answer that ye seek, And he who long has worn the drunkard's clain; Shall be restored to liberty again. A Dream of Future Days. BY CLARKSCK MAY. I dream I dream of future days, My soul will wonder there,' To gaze upon the blooming hopes, Devoid of toil and care; I will not heed the dreamy past, Nor contit the wasted hours. When sorrow tided ihe listless cupNow Iljpe seetua wreaihed with flowers. I dream of fair a'ld angel forms, And smiling friends I II tnee'; Of angel harps, 10 music tuned In harmony, replete, In ihose fv.r liehis of endless sreen, Tboe suns that never set, Thosa orbs of bright and diinless sheen, Wi.h nothing to regret. I dream of my prospective home, And all tho-e sunny hours, When poesy will teach me sing 'Midst ever-hloominij flowers; And through the mist of gathering years, A form steals 10 me row; And soft and sweet a sister's kiss Is pressed upou my brow. No more I'll dream of perished hopes, Nor many a spoken word Thai, Wa amid il.e wreck of time, Will i.e'er again be heard. No more ihe ghosts of buried joys S ait up and haunt mv gaz'a; My soid is lixed 011 fairer scenes, And rire.ii a. s of happier days. Alleged Cure for Corns. The Journal of Applied Chemistry says: "Soak the feet well in warm water, then with a sharw instrument pare off as much of the corn as can be done without pain, and biud up tho part affected with a piece of muslin thoroughly saturated with sperm oil, or what is better, the oil which floats upon ihe surface of the pickle of herring or mackerel. Af;er three or four .l.v ho drpssiiirr mav be removed, and ihe remaining dead cu'ide removed by scraping, when the new skin will be found of a soft and healthy texture, and less liable 10 the formation of a new corn h.fr.ro We. have this recipe from a

hich we cannot well doubt, andijevv who, in time when business has been

source w .w.l.iisL ii for the benefit of many suffer ing readers" The pain occasioned by c.-rns may be greatly alleviated by the following preparation: In a one-ounce vile ask a druggist to put two drachms of muria ic acid and six drachms of rose water. With ibis mixture wet the corns night and morning for three days. Soak the feel every evening in warm water without soap. " Put one-third of the acid into the water, and with a little picking ihe corn will bs dissolved. The Extinct Race. A writer in the Missouri Republican, discussing the ducstioas suggested by the 'relics of a lost race," arrives at the following couclusion regarding the prehistoric occupants of the Mississippi Valley: 1. The primitive trines ot America were not exotic but indigenous. 2. The race known as mound-builders were red In dians in every essential particular, similar to those now inhabiting the Territories 3. Of the ten thousand mounds in the Western. Middel, and Southern States, less than five hundred are the product of human agency. -4. the highest point 01 art development attained by the mound builders only exceeded implements by a very limited manipulation of native copper; and apart from their extreme advancement is marked by earth works, unglazed pottery, and the simplest aboriginal soil tillage. 5. They had no system cf worship or any ideas of theology more elevated than such as are eniertaiaed by the hunter tribes of tho present day.

An Open Polar Sea. The statement published in the Tribune to-day that a wbale had been captured j north of Behrinss Straits, which had in its !

body a harpoon belonging to a ship that ! was known to bo cruising co the other side of the contenent, is another link in the long chain of evidence that establishes the i fact of an open Polar Sea. Many yes j ago a similar incident was discovered in J Nantucket, when that pert was the great! whaling

.l..t: A i,.iuutau unpopular neacs.ei, iluiusi v,

PtdtlUII VI tUO nuiii A alt.-t pooner, who had just arrived irom a i whaling voya-e, discovered a harpoon at his hording house, and recognized it as a weapon which he had lost in a whale in i . ' Baffin's Bav. To his surprise, ha was jo-I formed that the whale had been captured off the coast of Japan ia which the harpoon bad been f.uud by its new owner, and on the men comparing dates, it was found that not thirty djys had intervened from the loss of ihe harpooa until the final capture of the whale. 1 Of course it was impossible that the animal could have gone around Cape Horn in thirty days, but many believed this to be the true solution of the enigma, and cast doubts upon the statements of tho harpooners. But these sailors were examinee uuder oath, the officers of their respective vessels were communicated with, and nothing could shake the correctness of their first statements. The logs of huu drcds of vessels were compared, with a view to learn the habits of the right whale, and to try and discover some other circumstances which would strengthen the now growing belief of a Folar sea. Much important testimouy was elected by these examinations. It was discovered that the northern and southern right whales were distinct, species, the form never going further south than the 30th parallel, while the latter never advanced above the 40th parallel of south latitude, the heated seas of the tropics being apparently a sea of fire though which neither cared 10 pass. So the Cape Horn theory fell to the ground. In corroboration of the Polar sea theory were the facts that the breeding grounds of the right whale-of the north had never been discovered; that these animals visited the Arctic regions periodically for that purpose, aud that an open sea, with a temperature moderate enough to admit of the growth of the proper food for the sustenance of the young whales, must exist in that region. Then, from the fact that currents of cold water reached the equator with an increas of only seven degrees in temperature, the deduction was made that currents of warm water from the equator might reach the north Pole with a corresponding decrease of temperature, which would make it about 75 degrees, or 47 degrees warmer than the mean temperature of the waters of tlie kuuwo Arctic regions. The p '"b!e effect of a body of wafer of such - .. .ilperature near the pole was, of course, manifest to all The waters of such a sea would be teeming with life, while its shores would be coiered with verdure, even though it was shut off from the rest of the world by an apparent ly impenetrable barrier of ice. Then arose the various exploring cxpediiions, one after the other proving unsuccessful, the most disastrous' of which was the unfortuuate expedition cf Sir Johu Franklin . The lamented Doctor Kane discovered an open body of water, but whether it was the true Polar se. or some smaller body of water lying sdjacont 10 it is a question for further expeditions to discover. New Yoke, December 27, 1S70. , Damming the Current. There is far too much negligence, every-where; about the payment of small amounts of money. It not uufrequently happens that men will have a small account charged, when tnsy have money sufficient in tneir pockets to pay it, end subject the creditor to the trouble of sending it for collection when be nesds it, taking the chance of learning the debtor is away from his place of business or from home, and perhaps subjecting bio to the imputation of beiug iu a needless hurry lur payment More attention to this point, and c?pec lally by those to whom the tims cl pay ment is immaterial, who can pay at one time as well as another, would be a vast imnrovement unou the creseot mode of . t - . , i many persons iu doing business. The prompt payment of small bills is a matter of much more importance than is trenerally attached to it. There are not a a little depressed, and the prospects for the future seem more than unusually unsettled, will hold on to their cash in baud, and tell all tho collectors who wait upon them with over-due bids to "call a 'ain," while tho payment would not give them any serious mcou venienco ana would greatly accommodate a large and deserving class of creditors. Indeed, we know of nothing that in a quiet way would go so far to give life to the markets throughout the country as the univeisal payment of these obligations at the first opportunity. If all the little debts, for the discharge of which the ,lol,t,ir nnn? liar, theoa.-h in nana, were r.ni.1 uu,u paid at once, the wheels of business wo be lubricated, and a "general jollity" s 500 n prevail tnrougnout, me iauu. j first serious effect of any public excitement comes from ths sudden cheek of thes little streams. It is true that large transactions are arrested, but it everybody went to paying these little debts ths check would be but momentary, as businesi would be forced along by the currestt thus contiou ally renewed.

This is aiiiiiciiiig much attention among practical engineers as a means of trail sporting power from its sources to a distance where it may be ntcre conveniently applied. Ths ilont Cer.i-5 tunncs, tbrough which daylight just begins to shine after so many yetrs cf labor, has been greatly helped by the conveyance of force to the drills by compressed air, and thi successful, experiment has started the inquiry why the same expedicri may not be as useful above uround ss uuder. There were collateral advantages, however, iu the great tunnel, which made it a necessity, and helped to determine its econ omy, it gave ventilation ana air currents to drive away vapors, asiae from replacing the use of other sources of puwer which might have been either Impracticable or which could have been used only at intervals. A proposition has been m ide to coavey 5.000 horse power through pipes hree feet in diameter, from Niagara Falls to Buffalo, using a fail at the former phu-e of 20G feet to compress the air. Mr Horace F. Day has been making experiments in New Jersey, at au expense of $18,000, to test the feasibility of such an enterprise. The results seem to encourage his enthusiasm in the Buffalo plan, y.'t there are many nice problems to be solved 6nd it remains to be seen whether a less expenditure in coal at Buffilo would not produce an equal amount of effective power. The carriage of coal is a transpor tation of power, and the cost of it is to be balanced against the compression and transportation of air. An interesting question connected with the correlation of forces, starts up to confuse the calculation Air at its uormal pressure carries a cer.aiii amount of latent heat. In comprcsoion to six or eight atmospheres a large amount of heat is evolved frora it, aud lest by radiation at the plac3 of compression, that is to say a csrtaia arncunfc ef stored force is taken out of it; therefore, it is argued, there must bo a loss equal to the amosat of coal it would take to heat up sn equal quantity of air at the plaso of delivery. This is ratioaal, but rauoas.1ism is getting io be as vicious m science as it has been in religion. The air will have to receive as ruush beat again when it has done its work, but it will bo only at the expense of surrounding objects. It will doubtless m-tke the shop or factory cold, an advantage ia summer, but this will not necess niij diminish tlie economical application of the power The whc'.a theory of the conservation of force will yet under 1 no soma metam Mrphoses which will sus prise -.. 1 . i-i:..: its parents, 11 ir.ey nappeu 10 us uvuit when mca sufficiently recover thar.a, iroai the present a.is or gpecui&uuu to study bard facts again.

Automatic The inventor of this wonderful piece of mechanism is a German, nted Joseph Bergmann, of Troy, a cabeoet ruaker bj trade, wbo spent fourteen years in its construction, meetiug with drawbacks at almost every step, but finally succeeding iu the great dream of his life. A zaiaia ture bouse, on a mountain top, repreaents the residence of a wealthy miller, with his griet-miil, oil mill, etc., adjoining. There are some forty figures in and about the buildiugs and mills. There is also a little fountaiu iu the foreground, with tba water playing, and a lake with a boat and oarsman. All these mil's and figures and playing waters are aet in motion by means of a combination of machinery, similar to the works of a clock, and when these are wound up and set runniog, every figure takes up it automatic movement. The old miller sits in an apartment reading. His eyes follow the column downward. The column is finished aud the sheet is turned over, and the eyes attracted te another portion of the paper. liery movement is wonderfully like-wise. The miller s wife sits iu auo.her apartment industriously spinning. Tba saw-mill is a facsimile of such an institution. The log is ia its place, and slidea along ta meet the teeth cf the saw, which ia Barking up and down, cuttiog it ia two. The attendants ere all busy ia their se7rat duties.
