When she is in port with a newly-sign- ed crew, they are fed well on a diet mainly of baked mutton and potatoes, and plum-duff thrice a week and more. But when she is at sea out come "by-the-wind soup' and the oth- er strange dishes of the "mean" ship. "By-the-wind soup" is a standing fea- ture to her seamen, and is made of equal parts of well-scraped mutton bone, potato peelings, a handful of stale meat trimmings, and other odds and ends from the captains table. and results in a light brown liquor, with blobs of fat floating on its steam- ing surface. Some sea biscuit is then thrown in, and the "soup" is ready for the forecastle's consumption. ~ "To-gallan'-tea," is one of the earl- jest rations on board the "mean" ship, and is served four times a week in the dog watches. Very weak tea, made from fresh leaves is given the men three times a week, and the leaves, instead of being thrown away, are then kept together with those from the captain's cabin, and on the other days are put into a large stew- pan with plenty of water and a bit of soda to make the tea "draw." This is boiled for about on hour or so, when black sugar or molassés is add- ed to taste, and the resulting stew--a hot, brown, tannic liquid--is sent "for. 'a'd" to the hands' evening meal. "Dog-chowder"' is a regular stand- by on board "do-the-men's'" ship. It is something like a pudding, consist ing of all the things which the cook has either not the courage to serve up, or not the skill to cook, carefully cut or shredded small, and liberally treated with fat, drippings, grease, to hide its true nature, then dished out piping hot. Even it is sometimes bet- ter than '"'cow-jipper," the stuff of which too many forecastles know so well. It is a kind of broth made from stale bones boiled for seven or eight hours, well seasoned with salt and coarse pepper, and thickened with all manner of things, including crumbs and bits of biscuit. This is a stand- ard feature in the "mean" ship's bill of fare for the hands, and effects a great saving to the master's or own- ers' pocket. It is not so abhorred by Jack as "jumping-jenny," otherwise known as "ouble-belt pie," from its partaker i Cholera Morbus, Cholera Infantum, and all, sequiring io take in two or hite hules along. "Jumping jenny" is made of one week's breakfast leavings from the captain and officers' tables, boiled in a few gallons of wafer plus an gh- jon, a handful of* flour or meal, half a dozen of ship's biscuits. To strengthen the concoction there 1s boiled in it half a pound of meat, which if it has not been boiled away, gives rise to much grumbling and wrath from those who have not had the luck to get a bit of it. But all vessels are not "mean" ships, and on many, aboard of which the captain pays strict heed to the Board of Trade regulations and his men's health, the hands fare well and liberally. In steamers the sailors and stokers have the same--each hand one pound of fresh beef, mutton, or pork every day, or if salt, one and a half pounds; one pound of butter a week, one pound of ship's biscuit or bread per diem, one and a half pounds of flour, and a tin of syrup, jam, or marmalade to each watch per week. There is usually no stint of water on board a steamer, unlike a sailing ship, where the men are as a rule held rig- idly to' the three quarts of water pe¥ day, for drinking, cooking, and washing hands, face and clothes. -------- Militia Humor.

A 'grave was dug and lined with turf, flowers, and evergreens, into which, after a solemn procession from the Devon lines to the "grave" and a funeral service, the cross-gun badges which had hitherto adorned the tunie- sleeves of the marksmen were "in- terred," Two or three wreaths were placed on the grave, and also a cross, bear. ing the inscription: "In loving mem. ory of the guns of the Devon Militia Battalion, which were. brutally mur- dered by Mr. Haldane, 1909."

They have offended the class of 'Prediliants,' the powerful priestly tribe whosa ideals are chiefly known in England from the biblical utterances of Mr. Kruger. Their edu- cation policy in particular has been offensive to Dutch feeling, for it has encouraged the teaching of English. They have, of aourse, removed many Eng.ish officials and behaved frequent: ly in a manner most painful to Fng- lish sentiment, but they have not ful- filled the expeetations of the Duteh. So much is fact; and to Pass from fact to speculation, to. explain events by a theory which may perhaps over- shoot the present truth but Kas cer- tainly a close relation to it; it er certain that a day has come when General Botha and his friends must rely less upon the support of the ex- treme Dutch racialists and more upon the approval of the Progressive school of thought, whether among Dutch or British." Escaped From Devils Island. Some unpleasant experiences have been undergone in country districts of British Guiapa, lately, due to the fre- quent arrival of eseaped prisoners from the penal settlement in French Guiana, the well known Devil's Ls land of Dreyfus fame, Supervision of the prisoners by the French settle ment authorities is very lax, snd any wishing to escape have little difficulty in making their way to British Gu- ana, and they nrrive in the colony ih a famished and desperate condition Coming to a house on a village tRey will demand food, and a good deal of alarm is often created among resi dents in remote districts where police aid is far away. A few weeks ago a tattered and exhausted' Frenchman dragged himself into a villige and said he was the only survivor, of a party of six' who had_sailed from Devil's Island. Soon after they left the shore he explainéd, a storm arose; the small boat was capsized, and his companions were all lost. Af- ter suffering great hardship: he had made his way to British jana. A day or two afterwards a lettefcarrier, while traversing a lonely and isolat- ed piece of "country, was attacked by several wild-looking men, who, after robing him made their way into" the savannah. A search was instituted, but the men could mot be found. It was subsequently ascertained that the story of the! Frenchman was a fabri- cation. He had been one of six who landed, The remainder had made their way to the savannah backlands. A Linguist. One of Marion Crawford's talents was a special facility for acquiring languages. Having been partly brought up in Haly, he naturally spoke Italian in most of its many dia- lects perfectly. and he also had the frequent experience of being taken for a German in Germany and a Frenchman in France. At one time he spent a winter at Prague, in or- der to obtain local color and atmos- phere for .one of his novels, and 'in the short space of eight weeks he had acquired enough of the difficult Bo- hemian language to make himself easily understood wherever he went, and to gather material from those who spoke no other tongue. But although he knew 'many languages well, he did not pick them up carelessly; a grammar and a dictionary were al- ways at his elbow. One of his latest pastimes was to read every- thing he conld find of Pindar, a huge enjoyment, he said, because "most of it was pretty tough Greek ."--Book- - an The happiness of a home depends not on what is in it, but what is in us.

He. wrote to her, and she be came a regular contributor. Dickens had known Miss Procte: since her childhood, her father being one of his oldest and dearest friends She sent her - writings anonymousl for that reason, lest if her name were known his judgment should be embar rassed by his friendship. When he: name became known to Dickens h wrote her: "You have given me » new sensajion. [I did suppose that nothing ipt this singular world could surprise me, but you have done it. You will believe my congratulations on the delicacy and talent of your writing to be sincere." He went on to tell her of "Miss Mary Berwick," as she was imagined in the publish- ing office. "Rather advanced in life; a gover: ness; with feelings desperately wounded early in lile by some cause, real or imaginary; that she wrote alter the educational duties of the day were discharged. iss Procter's second volume, '"'Leg- ends and Lyrics," contains many of her finest poems, and is much better than her first book. The second series which followed under the same title, was her last book.

With a patience touching to wit ness she resigned herself without com- plaint to the weary fifteen months of her last illness. . Many of 'Adelaide Procter's poems are ro..| songs, whose full beauty can only b> appreciated as such. "Cleans jng Tires' 'and "The Last Chord," fitly rendered, illustrated this view. Her poetry has made her appear as a pensive and serious woman, while in reality sho was possessed of a lively sense of humor, and had a peculiarly pleasant, ringing laugh. The Sunday Stone. In the University Museum, at Ox. ford, England, there is: to be found a large mass of limestone, known as the "Sunday Stone." It is composed of alternate layers of white and gray formation, and reveals a remarkable record of the regular working and resting periods of the coal mine from whence it was taken. This peculiar stone is a stalagmite deposit of limestone, which formed on the floor of the mine. There is a "drip" of water, each drop permeated with particles of lime, constantly fall- ing from the roof to floor of the mine. Of course, the water soaks away, while the lime torms the deposit. During the working days in the ming, the chamber is filled with coal dust, and the water carries to its deposit the dust which is in the air, as well as the lime in the water. On the Lprd's Day there is no work done in the mine, and consequently there is no dust in the air. Thus the stone is formed in lay- ers--six-seventeenths being grey, and on-geventh being white--thus keeping a calendar of working days and rest. ing days in the mine. It is well nam- ed "The Sunday Stone." A Parish of 420,000 Square Miles. » 1f the report that Dr. Wilired Gren- fell is to lead the Norwegian expedi- tion to inquire into the discovery of Andree': grave is correct, the selec tion will be regarded with satisfac tion; for the noted missionary and explorer is the most suitable man for the task. For many years the doctor has devoted himself to the physical and spiritual needs of a parish con- taining 420,000 square miles of terri- tory, carrying a sparse population of Eskimos and natives of Labrador. He has set their broken limbs, cured the ophthalmia 'caused by the glare of the sun, and battled with the scourge of consumption. During his sixteen Joars service in that bleak region he as established four hospitals, an or- phanage, and many stores where the fishermen, none too worldly wise, may be assured of not being cheated. Sir Francis Galton. Amongst the conclusions arrived at by Sir Francis Galton, one of the new knights, who first suggested the sys- tem of finger-print identification, is a curious theory concerning ances- tral inheritance. He asserts that we inherit one-fourth of our character from each parent, one-eighth from our grandparents, one-sixteenth from our reat-grandparents, and so backwards. any agencies, however, prevent the law cperating in so ideally simple a manner, and it is to the elucidation of these that Sir Francis has devoted his latter years. .
