From the New York Herald. “Thou shalt not mux the lamb’s flesh with the mother's milk.” From time immemorial no commandment has had more Weight among orthodox Hebrews than this one, which ordains that they shall not use milk and meat at the same meal Unitke many ovher laws regarding diet, tt 1s claimed that this oue Is based on the laws of health and that those who rigidly observe it run far less risk of tiness than those who eat meat and drink milk when- ever the fancy seizes them. A thorough discussion of the subject took place recently, which was at- vended by several prominent Hebrews, and, among others, by @ practical chemist of some thirty-tive years’ experience. Among the remarks which he imate, according to a weil-known Hebrew journal of this city, are the following: “The rabbis were not suc asour modern prozressionisis would have us believe them to have been.” STRANGR REFRCT OF MILK ON MEAT. “Ihave examined under a powerful microscope a Gher of meat and a drop of milk; the former ap- peared to be a mass of dead matter, the latter a White sea, T took the same fiber of meat and tm- mersed IUin a glass of miik, when instantane tue Aber of meat was switaming and te whole Klis Of milk te With ty riads of animal cane. Any medic teinan will telt You that a Kas of mK Laken aiter a diet of meat produces What are commonly known as yeast germs, and tuat a compliance With the dieting laws of the Hebrews ts not alone productive of good health, but tends to ward off Infectious diseases.” Naturally such a novel statement surprised many Who heard it, and a general desire was manifested to find ‘out if the anion of milk and meat alWays produced similar staruing results. Tue Heraid being appeaied to for information & Teporver was instructed yesterday {o find out what Paysiclans ang chemists would Lave to say on the subject. A BOUNDLESS PAITH IN MILK. It was not an easy matter on which to get satis- factory information, Some physicians said that they could not express an opinion until they had made certain experiments, Others adinitted read- ily that it Was foolish for any one to Joad his or her stomach with meat and milk at the same Ume, but laughed at the idea that a commingling of meat and milk necessarily let loose myriads of animalcule, and thus turned the human stomach for the time being Into a den of putretaction; and SUill others maimtained that milk Was good at aby Uime and under all circumstances, and a inan Who liked it at his dinner and yet eschewed its use must be either a rigidly orthodox Hebrew ora hopeless hypochondriac, Prof. Bealord, of the Pharmaceutwal Reeor 0. 5 Beekman street, 1s one of those who believe that milk ean be safe taken at any Ume, No one could be found who hod made any sueh experiments, bUt one oF two Were seen WhO insisted that no such experiment could be successful unless either the meat Was a live stale or the milk a ttle sour. ‘Tuelr theory 1s that so long as the meat and willk are entirely fresh and pure no evil results can possibly follow from thelr contact, “A SOUND HYGIENIC REGCLATION.” Dr. Newton 8. Leo, of No. 155 West 55th streets has given much study to tis subject, and can claim to speak with authority on it. “The Hebrew laws regarding diet were originally framed by counelis,” he expiains, “and wee climatie and other conditions. Iu Is scarce, cattle are poorly developed and epidemic diseases'are prevalent. For these reasons the Tabbis prohibited Lue Use of sheiltish, pork, certain parts of other atever food they be- lieved to be uniies ‘an. ‘The men who framed tues? laws had a practical knowledge of physiology, and knew what was good for thelr peo. pie and what was not.

At the same tle, he said that personally he did not belteve milk ‘and meat should be used to any great extent, If, deed, at all, at tue same meal When Re was asked If tuere had at aby time been any talk about modifying the Hebrew dietary regulations in this particular, he replied that he had not heard of and Uhat ait orthodox Hebrews were Mrmiy sats.

Whether or not Gladstone’s dictum that alcohol 1s a greater scourge than war, pestilence, and famine combined be mere rhetoric, it can not be shown that any nation oF peopie has been destroyed by intoxicating drink, The English have been and are a uation of drinkers, ‘and they are the pre- | dominant race of the world, 1 have no knowledge of & population of total | abstainers who have ever enjoyed civil and politi- | cal Uberty; and divagh 1 will not say, with an Eugilsh préiate that it is better to be free than to | besober, yet T wiil say that the methods of deal- } ing wiUll Sin tu general are the proper methods f | counteracting tue evil of drunkenness, aud that | itis absurd to attempt to persuade the’ American people that the perinanence of thelr institutions depends on the.r becoming & nation of total abe | sluners.

A Royal Homance, WOW PRINCE OSCAR OF SWEDEN WON mS BE- THOTHED, MISS MUNCK. Prince Oscar of Sweden, the second son of the King, has excited much interest by his determina- tion to marry one of his father’s subjects, Miss Ebba Munck, the daughter of a Swedish colonel of noble family, as heretofore stated in THE STAR. The New York Graphic says: Miss Munck was @ maid of honor to his sister-in-law, the crown mae of Sweden, when Prince Oscar, returning ‘Tom a two years’ Voyage, Saw and loved her. For a long time Miss Munck frmly declined to usten to his suit, and ultimately left the court and became a nurse in the Stockholm Hospital Prince Oscar, however, was not to be denled, and finding that his affection was returned ob- tained the queen's consent to their union, and Nnallypvercame the objections of the lady herself, The kes Sanction Was more dificult to gain, but: this Was ultimately attained through the queen's intervention, and on Sunday, December 30, the ceremony ot betrothal team lace tn all staie tn the roval palace, his majesty proposing hls_ son health apd congratulating him m the step he Was about to take, By the Swedish constitution Prince Oscar, In Leva he 3 out of the royal circle, will forfeit not only ali rights to the throne, but his title of royal highness and Duke of Gothiand, his yearly parliamentary allowance, and his Stockholm palace, being henceforward styled Prince Bernadotte. He will, of course, retain his rank 45 commander tu the Swedish navy, a3 he has earned this by his naval service. After the marriage Prince Oscar and his wife will reside at naval station of Carlskrona, Sweden, Prince r was born on November 15, 1859, and 1s about a Year younger than hts Hancec, who 1s stated to be remarkably handsome and accom. plished, ‘The marriage 1s totake place nextmonth at Bournemouth, and Prince Oscar and Miss Munck are at present in England with the queen of Sweden, On Monday the prince opened the “Scandinavian Satlors’ Temperance Home,” near the West India Docks, and met with an enthusias- Uc reception. In declariag the home open the prince nade a brief appropriate speech, and this Was responded to by Mr. D. Carnegie, who re. marked on the popular farewell accorded to the prince and his bride, When leaving Sweaen they Were escorted at their departure by a multitude numbering at least 20,000, who cheered them most enthusiastically. ‘Mr. Carnegie accordingly called for cheers “which shou.d be an echo to tuose in Scandinavia,” and these, we need hardly say, were given most heartily.
