Sound Sleep.

1t is wonderful how much may be
done to protect existence by the habit
ual restorative of sound sleep. Late
hours under mental strain are, of
course, incompatible with this solace-
ment. On this topic, DIR. Richardson
says it has been painful for him to trace
the beginnings of pulmonary consump-
ton to late hours at "unearthly balls
and evening parties" by which rest is
broken, and encroachments made on
the constitution. "But," he adds, elf
i'm middle age the habit of taking def
cient and irregular sleep be still main
tanned, every source Of depression, every
latent form of disease, is quickened and
intensified. The sleepless exhaustion
allies itself with all other processes Of
exhaustion. or 1t kills inperceptibly,
by rapid introduction of premature
old age, which leads directly to prema-
ture dissolution" There, at once, is
an explanation why many people die
earlier than they ought to. They vio-
late the primary principle of taking a
nights rest. If they sleep it is disturbed.
They dream all sorts of nonsense. That
is to say, they do not sleep soundly or
for any useful purpose; for dreaming
is nothing more than wild, imaginative
notions passing through the brain while
half sleeping or doing. In dreaming,
there js no proper or restorative rest

There are in London close upon
,000, 900 human beings, and the prob
lem how this vast population can be
supplied with water is full ofdifficulties.
\ paper on this subject was read in the
section of Economic Science and Statis-
ties of the British Association for the
Advancement of Science at the recent
Plymouth session. The conditions of a
water-supply in any city ought to be,
first, sufficient quantity; second. a
good quality; third, a high pressure !;
and, fourth, accessibility, so that the
expense of the service may be brought
within moderate limits. The present
water-supply of London meets only the
first and last of these conditions. Its
impurity unfits it for use for drinking
purposes, and the pressure is not high
enough to secure the efficiency of the
Fire Department. The supply is pro-
vided by eight companies, which have
an aggregate capital of eli ,l96, 900, a
gross income of u ,137 900, and a net
income of e705, 200, giving a rate of
interest on all the capital employed Of
proximately 6.3 per cent. The water
is taken from the River Lea, and from
the Thames above Teddington Weir.
Its impurity has been attested by many
chemists, and might be expected from
the fact that the streams fom which it
is drawn drain 4 richly manured
country and many populous towns above
London. The pressure will not afford
on the average more than 1000 per gall
lon at any fire, and this at the street
level, where fire engines will be re-
duired. "But there ear be no ques-
tion," says the report, ''that to insure
the promt extinction of fires it would be
in the highest degree desirable to be
able to supply an effective jet from the
water-main, without the Intervention
of an engine"
The remedy for the deficiencies is
outlined in the scientific paper alluded
to, which was drawn up at the request
of the Metropolitan Board of Works,
and has been approved by such an
eminent authority as the London Times.
The plan is TO have a double-service-
one to furnish water for drinking and
for the extinction of fires, and the other
to supply water for washing, street.
cleaning and miscellaneous purposes.
The companies now in existence would
be charged with the latter work, while
the corporation would undertake the
former. The new supply would be
taken from the vast stores which lie
unused in the chalk formations fifteen
or twenty miles distant from London.
1t is estimated that l6, ,000, 600 gallons a

How tn stay at Home without Grumblins
BY GAIL HAMILTON.

The first thing is TO go home, and this
sometimes seems to be the hardest part
of all. There is no use in denying the
fact; it is very charming to stay in
other peoples houses. There is good
deal of the tramp in all of us. One eats
with a greater relish at a table he has
not ordered. The flavor somehow is
apt to escape from the joint you have
skewered QIeaven send that joints are
skewered.); the cUcumbers you have
hunted down in three markets; the
pudding whose sauce has enlisted your
own anxieties, not to say energies. To
come to a table spread for you as the
ravens and the robins find theirs spread,
to be surrounded by q gay and kindly
folk, to be called upon to take no
thought for the morrow-it is exceed
ingly pleasant. You may feel that the
mould is gathering on your books at
home, that the weeds are flourishing
like a green bay-tree In your paths, that
the canker worm is devouring your sub
stance, and what the canker worm hath
left the caterpillar hath eaten, and yet
you linger, beguiled by pleasant words
and friendly ways.
1t is pleasant even to take thine ease
in thine inn. If the inn is perched
upon a point of rocks, swept past by
sunny waters rolling between wooded
hills into the distant sunset; if it crests
a mountain elf overlooking twelve
thousand miles of what seems to be
mere level plain, checkered and lonely
expanse too far of for any life to be
visible or any sound to reach-still it is
vastly pleasant. The steamers are but
pointed white splinters gliding along a
ribbon of river; the locomotive trains
are but little curling trails Of smoke;
the houses are but the toy houses of toy
villages, the ponds are tinybits Of mirror
CHASING the changing heaven. There
is motion. color, vivid splendor Of sky

DIR. George BirdwOOd writes in the
academy: "The most sacred plant in
the whole indigenous slater,a medicd of
India is the Tuisi or Holy Basil (Ocy-
mum sdHctum,l, sacred to Krishna, and
called after the nymph Tulasi, beloved
of krishna, and turned by him into this
graceful and most fragrant plant. She
is, indeed, the HindOo Daphne. The
plant is also sacred TO Vishnu, whose
followers wear necklaces and carry
rosaries used for counting the number
OF recitations of their deity's name,
made of its stalks and roots. For its
double sanctity il is reared in every
HindOo house, where il is daily watered
and worshipped by all the members of
the household. No doubt also il was
on account of its virtues in disinfecting
and vivifying malariOus air that it first
became inSeparable from HindoO houses
of the family. In the Decean villages
the fair Brahminee mother may be seen
early every morning, after having first
ground the corn for the days bread,
and performed her simple toilet, walk
ing with glad steps and waving hands
round and round the pot Of Holy Basil,
planted on the four horned altar built
up before each house, invoking the
blessings of heaven on her husband and
his children-praying, that is, for less
carbonic acid, and ever more and more
oxygen. The scene always carries one
back in mind to the life of ancient
Greece, which so often is found to still
live in India, and is a perfect study at
once In religion, in science, and In art.

Steerage Diet.


Each emigrant has a contract ticket
which stipulates for his transportation
to New York in consideration of four,
five or six guineas, according to the
current rate of fare. The company
engages to provide full supply of
wholesome provisions, cooked and
served by its stewards, and the pas
senger is required to provide himself
with bedding and cooking utensils. The
weekly allowance of food for each adult
is prescribed by the government and
printed on the contract ticket as fol-
lows: "Twenty-one quarts of water,
three and a half pounds of bread, one
pound of wheaton flour, one pound and

The London Cat.

A Londoner's house may be his castle,
but his garden in decidedly his cats.
No, not his eat's-the London cat recog-
nizes no human possessor; he is a free
citizen, or-if the term be preferred
an Arab, the oasis in whose Sahara ia a
dust hesp, or snug corner on the
garden wall. Ii cannot be disputed
that the London cat is a species apart.
Take, for instance, his cynical indiffer-
ence TO broken bottles. The feline
community all over the world like to
lie softly. and are sensitive upon the
sNbject of moisture; but, now, watch
the London cat stretched at his ease
upon couch of jagged glass, blinking
forth upon life through a pouring
November rain. His whiskers are
drenehed and dropping, his fur resem-
bles the hat of the typical Leicester
square foreigner, but he is free and
happy. His passionate love OF inde-
pendence and his rejection of fixed
place of abode supposed to be the
dearest desire of his race are furt her
proofs of his originality. In considera-
ton of little mousing an assured home
has often been offered him, but always
he has resisted such overtures. We have
in mind a cat of an imposing presence,
whose black coat, though dingy and
lustreless from exposure and poor diet,
was unspecked with any tuft of white
ness, and lent him so much dignity
that he went by the name of the Black
Prince. He was an inhabitant of Lon
don, and could not otherwise have
specified his abode; but every day, at
two o'clock precisely, when the bell
rang for the children's dinner, he
presented himself at a certain house,
and waited on the window-ledge of the
parlOr until his wants were attended to.
Although nothing could be more de-
corous than his behavior, he was pro-
nOunced by the governess to be cor
rupter of the children's manners, and
to disturb that silence and absorption
in their meals to which well bred young

various discouraging devices were at
empted to induce him to renounce his
visits. A bucket of cold water was
poured over him; on another occasion
the housemaid assailed him with the
broom; on a third, he was taken by
member of the family five miles in an
omnibus, and then dropped by the way
side; and finally he was given over to
the butcher boy who was bribed to
make away with him. But even this
last attempt failed. On the following
day, as the dinner bell rang, precisely
at two O'Clock, Black Prince reappeared
at his post. At length this persistence
softened all hearts; it was decided that,
since he refused to be removed off the
face of the earth. his reformation should
be attempted. The window was thrown

hay in the back kitchen. The next
morning he had disappeared. The din
ner bell rang at two o'clock, but the
parlor window ledge was deserted.
Where cold water, the housemaid's
broom and even the butchers boy had
failed this last cruel kindness proved
effectual-the children saw Black
Princes face no more.

The Dardanelles.

The straits of the Dardanelles (the
ancient HellespOnt) forms the commun-
ication between the Sea of Marmora
and the Greeian Archipelago. This
channel, through which runs q con-
slant strong current, is about fifty
miles long, and varies in breadth from
one mile at its western to ten miles
toward its eastern extremity. Ii derives
its name from two ancient fortresses Oh
either side, one of which is built on the
site of the ancient Sestos. and the other
on the site of the ancient Abydos.
About twenty miles to the west >f
these are two modern fortresses, called
the new castles, and between the old
and new forts are military works of
various descriptions. The total number
of guns mounted on these fortresses l..
six hundred and eighty-nine, some of
which discharge stone shot and require
a charge of more than three hundred
pounds of gunpowder.
The two old fOrtresses were built by
Mahomet H., while the modern ones
were constructed by Mahomet w., la
the year 1863, to guard his fleet from
the attacks of the Yenetians, who were
very bold at that time Mahmoud IA.
increased their strength By the addition
of numerous bastions. They are con
sidered to-day TO be in a high state OF
efficiency. The Dardanelles were al
ways closed TO the war ships of all
nations, and no man-of-war could pass
them without a special firman of the
Porte, they being considered as the key
10 the Turkish capital. At their north
ern extremity stands GallipOli, which
the Turks are now fortifying in all
haste. The closing of the DardaneiIes
against the war ships of all ns { ons, has
been imposed on Turkey by the Treaty
of Unkiar-Skelessi, confirmed by the
Treaty of Paris in 1856. 1t ia true that
the Russians, by a secret clause in the
Treaty of Unkiar Skelessi, obtained
from Turkey the free passage of their
own vessels; but this document has
never Deen recognized as forming part
of the law of nations, and has been
abolished many years ago.
Although the passage of the Dardan-
elles was considered impossible to be
effected by a hostile fleet, IL has been
accomplished in several instances, chief
ly by the Russian Admiral Elphinstone,
July %, 1770, and by the British Ad-
miral DuckwOrth, February 10, ls07.

ing and culinary purposes. The plan
contemplates the building of reservoir.
on the high ground to the north and
south of London at a height of 100 feet
above the level. These reservoirs
would be supplied by pumping engines
drawing their supply of spring water
at distances of from eight to fifteen miles
beyond the reservoirs. The reservoirs
would be united by large arterial mains
traversing London from north to south
Service pipes would take the water into
close vessel having draw-off tap, and
containing, according to the size of the
house, from three TO ten gallons, and
filling up gradually after having been
emptied. The annual cost of the plan
proposed is thus stated. Interest at 3 ,
per cent. on g, ,500, 900, e192 800: work
ing expenses for pumping and manage
ment t32 800; total, EDO, 900. This
would be equal to about .2lsd. in the
pound on the ratable value of the me-
tropolis. IL is estimated, on the other
hand, that the expense of buying up
the privileges of the present companies
and adding the pumping facilities for
fire purposes would be t26. 900. 600, and
the annual running expenses Il ,6l2 ,25O,
equal to about l6i.d. in the pound on
the ratable value.
The advantages of the new scheme
are apparent, but il is open to serious
objections. one OF which the London
Times has noticed. The supply of 49,
0O0. 900 gallons daily will not he suf-
ficient when the wants of the country
about the chalk beds increase, as they
promise to do, and their supplies are
taken from this source. Ii NAV be
doubted also whether the average house,
holder can be- depended on To save the
chalk-bed water only for drinking and
cooking. On the other hand. the adop-
ton of the plan would remove at once
all difficulties aS to the existing compa-
nies, and would furnish supply for
the extinction of fires under an enOr-
nous pressure, so that the reduction in
rates of insurance might in a short time
cover the expenses of the alterations.
1t is understood that houSehOlders
would always have the choice whether
water or the pure water from the chalk
beds, or both.

California stories are expected to be
large, but not on, that account. neces-
sarily untrue, for California is an ex-
teusive State and does many things on
a grand scale. Its large redwood trees
are deservedly famous, and their beauty
often consists not merely in their size
and height, but equally in their SYM
metry and the unbroken barrenness of
their trunks for hundred feet or more.
