England, and of its superior quality as compared with that of other European countries; yet their cookery, both in theory and practice, is a by-word of ridicule. This remark will apply with double force to the food supplies and the cookery of this country. We certainly have in the United States a greater supply of the raw material, and of a better quality than is to be found in any other country on the globe; but our preparation of it for the table, that is, our cookery, is beneath contempt. "They manage these things better in France." They do that. Cookery, our author claims, when properly understood, both as a science and as an art, "will be found to conjoin the highest enjoyment with due attention to the preservation of health." The latter is something which, in American cookery, is not thought of. The book commends itself to Hygienists, in that it pleads for greater simplicity in the matter of food. In France, the largest dinners allow of but two courses. It also denounces excess in the use of spices and condiments. "Nothing," says our author, "vitiates the palate more than a superabundant use of such stimulants." And in this connection, he says, further on, "The palate is capable, and nearly as worthy of education, as the eye and ear." The book is for sale by T. B. Peterson & Brothers, Philadelphia. Price $5. equal to the task of "mingling the proportions of exquisite desserts." For this, something more of education and skill is required than most Irish cooks possess. If any success in this direction is to be achieved, the lady of the house must herself descend to the lower regions, and be cook for the time being. The book is made up of numberless recipes for the making of the more delicate kinds of puddings, pies, cakes, jellies, ice-creams, etc. etc., and is just what its name expresses, a dessert book. THE POPULATION OF GREAT BRITAIN.Will you please tell us why there are so many poor people in Great Britain? ANS.-There are three reasons. One is because the poor of these isles are very prolific Poverty propagates itself faster than virtue and thrift. Still another reason is, want of economy and especially intemperance. According to Mr. W. Taylor, F. R. S., who recently read a paper before the British Association, the tota number of laborers in England and Wales of all classes living on weekly wages and working with their hands is, including their families, 8,144,000, less than half the population. Of these, 1,178,000 are skilled artisans, or say 200,000 grown men; 4,000,000 are half-skilled artisans, or say 800,000 grown men; and 2,957,000 agricultural and unskilled laborers, or say 600,000 grown men. The average earnings of a skilled man range from £60 to £73 a year; of a half-skilled man from £46 to £52, and of an unskilled or agricultural laborer from £20 to £41. These averages would show prosperity in the working class, the lower agricultural laborers excepted, and their total earnings are £270,000,000 a year; but they throw away £58,000,000 a year on alcohol, so paying to tho publicans a fifth of all their receipts, that is, a THE "DESSERT Book."-By a Boston lady. Boston: J. E. Tilton & Co. The object of the above treatise can be better stated by an extract from the Preface than by any thing we could say of it: "While the preparation of soups, joints, and gravies is left to ruder and stronger hands, the delicate fingers of the lady of the household are best fitted to mingle the proportions of exquisite desserts. It is absolutely necessary to the economy of the house-four-shilling income tax, and a total sum nearly hold, that this art should form a part of every lady's education." The Dessert Book is hence the offspring of the exigencies of American society which is compelled to submit to the rule of Biddy in the kitchen. Although Biddy can roast a joint, or boil the potatoes, she is not double the whole of the taxes they pay the Slate. Teetotalism has not the moral merits its advocates proclaim, or Mussulmans would be better men, but it certainly would make the English people the richest people on earth Intemperance makes poverty everywhere. I BELIEVE that in the dissemination of truth facts are better than theories, experiences better than opinions; hence, it is with pleasure I read the "experience" of Glyndon in reference to wearing and leaving off flannels as recorded in the March Number of THE HERALD, and I find the views there expressed fully corroborated by my own experiments in the matter. For ten years I suffered from a bronchial irritation and a troublesome cough, with oc casional severe "colds," which would greatly aggravate the trouble; I wore flannels next the Healds' Hygeian Home, WILMINGTON, DELAWARE, OPENED JAN. 1, 1871, for the Hygienic Treatment of Invalids, is Beautifully located in the open suburbs of a pleasant, healthful city, overlooking the romantic and historic Brandywine and the Delaware River.

During the present winter, I have worn cotton garments next the skin, in opposition to medical advice and warning, with flannel over them; observing my usual custom of frequent change and regular bathing, and have not had a cold during the season, and my cough is so slight I scarcely realize that I have one, whereas formerly I often spent a sleepless night on account of it. I have induced some of my acquaintances to make the same experiment, and, with them, the result has thus far been the same. When I leave it off I shall at first substitute the flannel shirt by an extra cotton one, and use but one during the hotest season. NEW YORK, March 12, 1872. READER. Advertisements.

GO Yours truly, HOW TO DO IT!! |||||| MR. EDITOR — On the ninth day of January last, a copy of Wood's GO GO Household Magazine strayed into the Covert Post-office, and our Post- GO GO master, Mr. D. B. ALLEN, who is also Superintendent of our Sabbath GO GO School, in glancing over the contents, noticed the offer to any Club, Lodge GO GO or Sabbath School, of a Smith's American Organ, for the price of the in- GO GO strument in subscriptions to the Magazine. Here, thought our Superinten- GO GO dent, is our opportunity; we need an Organ, and we need good reading, GO GO why may we not have both? The price of the Magazine is one dollar per GO and for one hundred and twenty-five subscribers we can have a No. 1 GO GO Organ, price $125. With characteristic promptness he presented the GO GO matter to the school next day, and though the scheme appeared visionary GO GO to most of us, the ball was set in motion, and it was not suffered to rest GO GO until one hundred and fifty-three names were obtained, which with the addi- GO GO tion of twelve dollars in cash, entitled us to a Smith's American Organ, GO style No. 3, price one hundred and sixty-five dollars. The list with the GO GO cash was sent to the publishers, the Organ was promptly forwarded, and GO GO last Sabbath its powerful tones filled our place of worship for the first time. GO GO We can cheerfully testify to the reliability of the publishers of Wood's GO GO Household Magazine. They give us our money's worth of valuable read- GO GO ing, and in addition, a first-class Cabinet Organ; and we will further say to GO GO all Clubs or Societies that are in want of an instrument, first find a leader GO GO who has go in him, then Go and do likewise.

It is free from all adulterations or ingredients not absolutely necessary to its utility and healthfulness. The fact that it has been used for the last two years in the best hotels and restaurants in New York City, and also inthe Hygenic Institute, is alone convincing proof of its superiority. I would respectfully call attention to Dr. Holbrook's editorial in the Herald of Health, February, 1871. He, at first strongly prejudiced, would not permit its use in the Hygenic Institute till after a thorough analysis, and when convinced of its healthfulness, has since continued its use and strongly recommended it to others to try.
