THE DIETARY.

The dietary list which has in the
main served as guide to Lieutenant
Greedy in his choice of provisions is
that of Professor Nordenskjold framed
for the crew Of the Vega, supplement
ted by advics from DR.. John Rae.
Professor Nordenskjold's nty-five
years experience as an Arctic explorer
renders his opinions on that point
most valuable, and the sixteen months
in the Arctic circle produced among
the crew of the Vega no single SYM
tom Of scurvy. In selecting stores for
this expedition especial pains have
been taken to secure the best of eyery-
thing. Under orders from the secre-
tary Of war and General McFeely the
stores were selected by General Haw-
kins and Lieutenant Greedy after much
deliberation and careful examination.
Canned meats formed but small por-
ton OF the supplies. Lieutenant Greedy
depending rather on selected mess
pork, the latest that could be obtained.
The supply Of anti-scorbutics is very
large consisting of cranberry and other
sauces, dried fruits of all kinds, dam
son and other preserves, sauce, beans,
lime, juice, onion and cucumber
pickles, &c. Onions, potatoes, carrots
beets and squash are taken canned
Great care has been exercised in
packing. as the best stores poorly or
improperly packed rapidly deteriorate

How She Cured Him.

The husband OF a certain Nashville
LADY was, before his marriage, furious
swearer. Through his wife's influence
he left off the bad habit, except one
favorite bad word, which chung TO him
under all circumstances, and which, TO
the great annoyance Of his good wife, he
would unconsciously use everywhere
the word damn" Several months
since he arose one cold morning, before
the servant came in to make the wood
fire, and after a long effort and frultless
burning OF many matches, turned and
said: -,
"Sallie, this damn fire won't burn;
To this the good wife very earnestly
said
eyes, the damn wood is too green,
and the damn servant has forgotten to
bring up any damn kindting wood to
start the damn fire with. !" :.
He looked at his wife in absolute dis
may, but at once saw the point and said
nothing. Z,
A longer period than usual passed
without the fayorite expletlve being
used, but later on he wanted a basket,
and said, after looking for it long
while:
"Sallie, where has that damn basket
got to-" -,
The wife, quietly, as if putting child
to sleep, said:
ASK the damn cook to get the damn
basket-damn her, she keeps it,
AS before, he said nothing, but months
have passed, and ii he damns anything
it is not where she is. She says it was
like taking quinine, and she always went
and washed her mouth out afterward,
but he is cured.

A Man. Hart on HIS Ripht Side.

An autopsy on the body OF George
Vail, OF Whitby, Ontario, was held by
Drs. SeeIey, Whitcomb and Stone last
week, which is OF interest to the medical
profession at least. MI. Vail had been
under treatment at the Air Cure Tor
abcess of the right lung for some
months. DR.. Stone noticed, upon the
first examination when the patient came
for treatment, that there was what is
technically called juxtaposition OF the
heart, which is very rare condition.
He had called the attention OF score or
more OF people to it, and was gratitied at
the autopsy to have his diagnosis con-
tirmed, the heart being found on the
right side Of the body instead OF the lett
The human heart ordinarily is situated
as follows: The base is attached to the
spinal column just back OF the upper
portion OF the breast bone. 1t takes a
direction downward, forward, and : lit
tie to the left, the apex or point striking
the walls OF the chest near the left nip
pie. In the case of Mr.. Vail the heart
occupied the same position on the right
side OF the body.

A True Cause for Regret.

1t makes the heart Of every philan-
thropist sad TO see so many worthless
patent medicines pulled and advertised
or the cure OF chronic diseases. Usual
" the remedy is some vile cathartic
compound or alcoholic preparation COM
bined with bucbu, turpsntine or other
severe diuretic that affords the invalid
only temporary relief, but which has no
lasting effect, and IN truth eventually
brings on a complication OF diseases
arising from state OF WORKOUT and ex-
hausted digestive and urinary organs
that nothing but death can relieve.
Inyalids should trust more to
nature for their recovery. A gentle
medicinal tonic that stimulates enfee-
bled digestion and strengthens every
part Of the system by its soothing and
refreshing effect on both mind ana body,
is natures truest and best assistant.
Such a remedy is Browns Iron Bitters,
a medicine surprising the sale OF all
other remedies whenever its merits be-
come known, for It acts in such perfect
harmony with the laws OF life and health,
that all pulmonary, urinary and diges-
tive troubles are prevented and perma-
nently cured by its timely use. 1t con-
talns no alcohol, and will not blacken
the teeth. Physicians ana ministers
endorse and recommend 1t.

How Gonld,a Riches Incraase.

A New York letter to a Cincinnati
paper says: The wonderful railway
autocrat is increasing bis empire at the
rate OF half dozen millions a year, the
latest acquisition being the Elevated
Road. He found the stock selling at an
attractive figure and at once purchased
a controlling interest. AS soon as this
was known quotations began to advance.
Gould now controls the longest and
shortest steam roads in America-the
Union Pacific on the one hand and the
New York Elevated on the other.
Everybody now predicts that he will
bring the latter out OF all its difficulties,
but this is labor which will Certainly
test his genius to its extreme capacity.
He has also had a tremendous task in
the New Jersey Central, whose condi-
ton is not altogether satisfactory"

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.
Experiments i'm Philadelphia.

Philadelphia Ledger.
Besides the experiment OF lighting
Chestnut streeL-by electricity and the
announced intention OF the public
buildings commission to illuminate that
great structure with electric lights, pre-
partitions have been and are being made
to introduce two or more systems OF
electric lighting in the Baldwin LOGON
olive Works and in the new depot OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad. On Friday
evening the machine shop OF the Bald
win Works, on Broad street, between
Willow and Hamilton, was lighted up
with Edison electric lamps. Prepara-
tons are being made for the introductlon
of electric lights in all the works, and
for this purpose new engines are being
erected of from 100 to S50-horse power.
At present a small engine is used Tor
lighting the shop illuminated on FRIDAY
evening. The lamps are pendant IN
four-light chandeliers, and above each
lamp is an almost fat porcelain shade.
Eighty lamps were in position, but two
of the chandeliers were not in circuit.
1t was estimated that nine.horse power
was used in maintaining the seventy
two lights in circuit In spite OF many
disadvantages. the light apparently gives
satisfaction. 1t is soft, mellow and per-
fectly steady, resembling very closely
that OF a students lamp or an argand
burner. Each row of chandeliers there
are three rows is separately controlled
by switches, and may be lighted or ex-
tingu.shed by the turning OF switch.
Mr. Moore is confident that the light
will prove cheaper than gas can be sold
for. One OF his estimates for furnishing
$50 lights, five hours per day, Tor 5OO
days in the year, is 50, 500 Tor plant IN
Guiding steam engine and boiler, and the
expenses, including interest on
plant; is estimated at about one-halt
that of gas for the same place, at - per
thousand cubic feet.

Fishing Extraordinary.

The unusual drought in Florida has
had the effect OF drying up Ljbley lake
to such an extent as to leave only few
slush spots here and there, and in these
alligators sought refuge in large num-
bers, digging huge burrows INTO the
ground. This has furnished great sport
TO the settlers in the neighborhood, who
have gone in crowds to these spots, and
tished with fine success for the enor-
nous reptiles. The manner OF catching
them has been to thrust long rods with
hooks at the end into one OF the cavern
Gus burrows and stir up tine occupants.
One of the alligators would snap at the
rod, Jerk would fasten the hook into
the soft part OF the lower jaw, and ii
would then be easy to draw the animal
out and kill it with hatGhets. 1t is not
every year that such fishing can be en-
loved, even in Florida.
