Capt. Grape and his wife, who arrived
at PeHzance on July %, from New Bed
ford, in the smallest boat that ever cross
ed the Atlantic, had most tedious and
peTilOus voyage of forty-nine DAYS. The
drOgue which they took with them was
found to be of little use, because it was
too light. While off the banks they saw
keg floating, which luckily they were
able to secure. Capt. Grape knocked off
the iron hoops. and with some canvass
made new drOgue, which answered ad.
mirably. During the voyage the rudder
broke, but happily there was a spare oar
en- board, which was used until the first
could be repaired, The seas were run
ming mountains high, and during all
that time, even when lying down to rest.
they had to lie on wet clothes, everything
being wet on board. On one occasion
the captain was for seventy hours steer
ing without relief, the weather being 50
frightfui and on another he was eigh-
teen hours cOnsecutively attending to the
drogue, Capt Grape says he could not
have stood another fifteen DAYS; indeed.
he had not slept for seventy hours when
he landed. His average of sleep while
going across was under four hours a day.
Among the many extraordinary things
connected with the voyage is the fact
that it had to be run by dead reckoning,
as the craft was not equal to a chronome-
ter. An Indignant "Briton'' writes to
one of the London newspapers that If the
captains wife, who during the last three
days OF the voyage was 80 i'll as to be
unable to render any assistance, had died
IN British waters Mr.. Grape would have
been morally guilty of granddaughter.
He trusts that Grape will not be made
much eff in England after having ex-
posed woman to such thoughtless hard
ship and suffering.

What to Eat in Hot Weather.

The happiest people, and who live the
longest, are those who have good apPe-
tites and eat square meals, especially in
summer. Nonsense ali that about not
eating meat in hot weather; time you
want it. Hot weather is weakening,
meat is strengthening. If you let up on
anything, do it on the drinking, for
voluntary cold bath is much more re-
freshing than an involuntary hot one !;
and it is well known fact in physiology
that a person who takes cold drinks often
is In hot water all the time. We owe an
immense deal of rot, in regard to eating,
to the wave of Yegetarianism which
swept over the country a quarter of a
century ago, and deranged many persons
minds and stomachs TO an extent it will
take generations to efface. 1t is all very
well for the sick to adopt methods of
cure, and the " food cure" is probably
much better, at least less harmful, than
the medicine cure; but for well and
hearty men and women to deliberately
90 to work to reduce their vitality and
expose themselves, weakened TO the
attacks of disease, Is a folly which many
sensible persons have tested, and found
to be folly. Once attacked with food

War Prices for F1our

In good times there were three brands
of -four in this market-fne, superfne
and extra. The difference in the price
of each was 70 cents per barrel. War
prices introduced humbug prices, under
cover of newly invented grades, and pat
ent centTivances, and the result was
dearer and inferior bread for family use.
Now that we have superior wheat, mil
lers should go back to original principles.
The millers who will do this will make
money. The margin Between the pro-
Queer and the consumer is altogether
too great. Strike for wholesome -four
and fair prices. No miller puts over
tour and half bushels of wheat in bar
rel of -four. The outside price for a
Eushel of prime wheat is 1925. The
otfal pays for the cOOperage and the cost
of manufacture. Bear these facts in
mind, when purchasing -four for family
use

moreover, is rendered evident by the fact
that to cover the rear of the division
there could be left at Baiasid but six
companies and three sotnies, and that
after the Vretreat to Igdyr being com
Pieted and the provisions fully supplied
but eight battaliOns and fifteen sotnies-
in all from 5000 to 1000 men, advanced
to relieve Bajasid.
At this critical juncture, after the
battle near Dajar, the high qualities of
TeIgukassOw, the Caucasian officer, were
demonstrated, who, accustomed to carry
on war in the mountains, had attacked
and retreated with but very small strength
under manifold perils. Tergukassow
fastened to Surb-Ohanes, and, instead of
choosing the way to Bajasid, as the enemy
would have anticipated, he took private
road to Igdyr, leaving Bsjasid on the
north, and thence to Baiasid to relieve it.

made to understand the attemps of

the object of three Russian divisions. of

The HindOOs are endeaYoring to intro
duce their religion into Australia, and
HindC missionaries have been fer a year
labOriBg in that country. One of them,
Kabu Surajee, reports to the society that
sent him on the condition in which he
found the Australians. The things which
he particularly notices are that drunken
ness and profanity are frightfully COM
mon, that abject poverty and deep
ignorance are the leading characteristics
of the people, and that, as he thinks, the
Christian religion degrades instead OF
elevates.

DON'T Poison Your sx.,crn

With such hUrtful drugs as quInine, caiomel,
or blue pills, but take instead that safe,
prompt and agreeable substitute, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which, whether it is used to
remedy or prevent malarial fevers, overcomes
general debility, or to correct torpIdity of the
liver or bowels, will in every case be found
fully adequate to the wants of the sick and
feeble. 1t entirely removes dyspeptic symp-
toms, and by stimulating the flow of gastric
juice, facilitates diL estion and insures the
conversion OF food into blood, whereby the
system is efficiently nourished and Tegains

tive has received the endorsement of men of
science, the press has repeatedly borne vol
untary testimony to its excellence, and the
public has long since given it the preference
to every medicine of its kind.

Buddhist and Confucian ReyIyaJs.

The Pail Mall Gazette, of July 10Th,
says: "The efforts of Christian mission
aries in China have, the Celestial Empire
says, had one very curious and, we may
be sure, unexpected result. They lave
inspired native theologians with a SINH
lar idea of propagandism. In the south,
we are assured, priests have adopted the
same means Of spreading the doctrines of
their creeds as the missionaries, and pros
elytIzing agencies have been formed,
principally among the Buddbists, num-
beTs OF whose clergy seem to have insti-
tuted a sort Of revival movement. They
preach at wayside temples and about the
streets, and it is said that the practice
has even spread to the ranks of Con-
fucianists. Certain it is that a verv
active Buddhist mission has been estab-
lished in Shanghai, and that it is work
ing vigorously. Preaching is carried on
daily at the japanese temple, in the
Picking road, and, as we know, the scope
OF their operations is being rapidly en-
larged, while Coniucian preachers may be
seen, though not in Shanghai, standing
in open places and at street corners, ex-
pounding the doctrines of the Chung
yung and the Tabsioh with all the ferv0r
of foreign missionary. OF course, Bud.
dhism is one Of the missionary religions
of the world, while Confucianism is as
certainly not; but the fact as concerns
both is very remarkable, and deserves a
passing word.
