The water famine in the city of New
York is assuming dangerous proportions.
The water deparsansnt is endeavorng to
economize. and. - result, many house
holders found themselves on Wednesday
morning without supply of water. The
reduced pressure in the water mains will
have to be continued. in order to keep a
supply Of water on hand for emergencies.
One effect Of the stoppage of the supply
was sudden demand for plumbers to re-
pair broken water backs and boilers.
The Joints Of water pipes running back
OF ranges melt when the water is out Of
them. and then there is some risk
of acollapse of the boiler. In Boston.
the state Of affairs is not very much
better. What water there is. is said
to b. nauseous to the taste, and the
supply is said to be dangerously low.
The Boston Advertiser states that since
April LIST the rainfall in the vicinity of
Boston has been only l6 90 100 inches.
which is over four inches less than the
fall for the corresponding seven months
OF any year since 1855. The effect of the
late severe drought is now being felt.
Water is being used at the rate of from
$4,000. 600 to S5.Ooo.ooo gallons per day.
This is drawn equally from Lake Cochi-
tuate and the storage basins on Sudbury
river. The Sudbury river supply. how
ever, is showing the effect Of this draft.
and is disappearing at a rate that. if con-
tinuei, will exhaust it in thirty days.
The Cochituate supply is decreasing in
the same proportion. and by the expira-
ton, of the time named. unless there is a
oopious rainfall. the water from this
soazes will have to be pumped. for the
first dune since 1875.

SeaWeed and its Uses.

In tropical climates, the little air
bladders which support the seawracks
are Of great service; for the masses of
seaweed are several hundred feet long
and of considerable height, having gstems
the thickness of q mans thigh, and
branches and dropping stems which
support innumerable forms of animal
life, such as corals, crabs, worms of dif-
ferent kinds, together with MOSES and
weeds of the sea, and being beside a
place of deposit for innumerable eggs
of various creatures. In Scotland the
tender parts of the seaWracks known as
tangles, are used as food, and when
cooked are considered choice diet for
cattle. The stems of a very hard, horny
variety of the seawracks are used as
knife handles. They are cut in short
pieces and while still moist or green the
blade is forced in at one end. When
the stem dries it clings firmly to the
knife-blade. Being gnarled and horny
it resembles bucks horn, and when
tipped with metal and fully finished
forms a neat, inexpensive knife-handle.
The rose-tangles are higher up in the
scale of vegetable life, and their deli
cate tints render them very beautiful.
OF these dulse is an important variety
to the Scotch and Irish, who, beside
using it as food, both in its raw state
and cooked in milk, find in it substi-
tute for tobacco. Carragreen moss is
another kind of rose-tange from which
a nourishing jelly is made. The Chi
nese use one variety of rose-tangle as
a varnish for their paper lanterns, and
as a chief ingredient in other CLOSING
preparations; twenty-seyen thousand
pounds are brought annually to Canton
and sold for six to eighteen pice per
round

A japanese BilI.Of-Fare.

In the last number of the RerHe Brit
annique is published an interesting ac-
count of a modern japanese dinner
party, from which we extract the fol-
lowing extraordinary menu, recon-
mending it to the attention of those who
may desire to introduce some startling
novelties into the art Of dining, as
practiced in these islands: Boiled ducks,
chopped pigeons, bird 5 nest soup, roast
mutton and bamboo buds, mussels and
crabs, tea and cakes, turtle soup,
minced dog, braised rats, macarohi
soup, black rats roasted, with sweet
sauce, salt fish, roast pork with rice
patties, preserved melOn-seeds, stuffed
sea-frogs, walnuts stewed with betel
leaves, ices, and fruits. Various wines
were served during this amazing enter
tainment. The center of the table was
occupied by a huge covered bowl,
containing good store of sea-heas, set
swimming in Burgundy just before the
guests sat down to dinner. By the time
the meal was over these vivacious in
sects had become sufficiently ineEfiated
to exhibit an abnormal and eccentric
activity, so that. when the cover re-
straining their saltatory exercises was
removed at dessert, they afforded ex-
celIent sport to the japanese gentlemen
present, who displayed remarkable
smartness in catching them with ivory
chop-sticks and in subsequently eating
them alive. To British apprehensions
this may appear a somewhat revolving
repast; but, remembering that many
dishes which they and the Chinese en-
Joy have ugly names that misrepresent
their real character, we should suspend
our Judgment until we hear what the
delicacies mentioned actually are.
Birds nest soup, for instance, is a very
different thing from what people who
have never been in China suppose it to
be, and it is quite possible that even the
black rat may be a species of ground
game unknown in this country, but not
less edible for all that. We confess,
however that the sea-frOgs and sea-
heas require a good deal of explanation.

The Peanut Club.

The Peanut Club has lately taken
rooms at the Cumberland, in Fifth Az
enue, and its members now believe that
they have established it upon . firm
basis. Each member is expected to
carry peanut about his person, and
whenever he meets another person to
take it out and show it to him. If the
latter does not forthwith produce his
peanut and show it to his challenger
he is fined one dollar, which sum is de-
posted in the clubs treasury. When
a sufficient amount of money has accu'
mulated, grand dinner is indulged in
Formerly members could carry ordinary
peanuts and most of them carried
supply of this nut in each pocket so thai
they could produce one whenever chal'
lenged. The result was that for 8
long time no banquet could be had
and it was found necessary to make
change in the constitution and bylaws
Each member, according to the amenu'
ed rules, was required to carry only one
challenge peanut, and that OF ivory
with the owners name engraved upon
it. Then the dollars began to pour into
the treasury. Last summer one OF tns
members saw about dozen officers en-
jOying bath at Manhattan Beacn,;
With tiendish delight he hurried anu
hired bathing suit and waded out y

lars found their way into the treasur!

had passed away and 4 strange peace
was shining forth from his eyes.
1t was the last freight. George al
ready had heard the distant thunder OF
the waters burstingin full flood into the
mine. He knew the end was come, and
when the basket was ascending he
turned away down a side passage thai
he might not see the agony Of the poor
men when they found it was too late,
Just as the basket reached the level
of the upper ground, where hundreds
were waiting anxiously to watch the az
rival of each company that was saved, a
tremendous black cloud rolled up the
pits mouth, bursting up with a fearful
roar high into mid air, and when it had
cleared away the men peered down the
shaft, far away in the darkness beneath
they could hear the dash of the waves,
and sometimes thought they could dis
Germ their white CLEAN as they leaped
up the sides of the shaft. jim Massey
and several others volunteered to 90
down and seek for any who might be
still struggling in the water. 1t was too
late when they reached the place and
only few of the dead bodies were ever
recovered.
The mine is now deserted and its
buildings are in ruins.
Some time after the disaster a part of
the cliff above it. probably undermined
by the action of the waves, fell down
one stormy night and now there is a
great cavern wandering away in dark
passages under the cliff where part of
the coal mine had been.
1t is easy to penetrate beneath these
gloomy arches in a boat during fine
weather and many times in after days,
Agnes-then happy wife and mother
would come there with her children
on summer days and tell them the story
of how their fathers life had been
saved. And when she had ended and
leaned back in the boat as they foated
on through that silent gloom as Of
twilight, the large tears would gather
in her eyes for him who lay in that un-
known tomb of his far below, in some
dark cavern of the sea.-Temple Bar.
