BAKED FIsH.-A fish weighing from four
to six pounds is a good size to bake. It
sh uld be cooked whole to look well. Make
a dressing of bread crumbs. butter. salt, and
a little salt pork, chopped fine, parsley and
onions. if you pleased); mix this with one
egg. Fill the body. sew it up. and lay in a

salt pork to favor it. Put a pint of wa:er

A New SUBMARINE TORPEDO BORA
new submarine torpedo boat has been con-
structed on the shores of Stockholm tiarbor
for the defense of that port 1t is said to be
constructed TO steam twelve knots under
water without any part of it being visible
above the surface. On arriving within
reasonable distance of the enemy it can
either ram or discharge torpedoes. Having
accomplished its work, the crew cen make
their craft rise to the surface, or, at will, can
return into harbor, keeping below the sur
face. Side screws working horizontally,
regul te the immersion after water ballast
has been taken to sink the vessel.

1t is estimated that a superior rate of speed

most approved patterns. The time schedule has
not Vet been prepared, but il transpires that the
Journey to New York via New Orleans Will not
exceed the time of the present schedule from
this city to New York via Omaha.
The scenery along the Rio Grands, where the
trains wind along the shelf Of a precipice 2,OOO
feet above the Rio Grande, is sublime and pic
turesque. Doubtless the majesty OF the scenery
along this celebrated stream and the desire oil
overland passengers to pass through the old set
tied Southern towns, will render the new line
most acceptable to travellers across the continent.
1t is also probable that very many California
people will visit New Orleans during the Mardi

Literary work.

In response to a circular recently sent out by
AIr. Arthur Reade, who has been collecting in
formation as to the habits of literary men in
regard to stimulants, the Able Miogno gives an
interesting and characteristic record of his ex-
periences. The letter appearing in his paper,
les yMondes, states that he has published $50
volumes, small and great; that he scarcely ever
leaves his workable. and never takes walking
exercise; yet he never has q trace of headache,
or brain weariness, or constipation, or any form
of urinary trouble, etc.-a statement which the
sequel shows to need qualification. Snutf-taking
ne has sometimes practised, but he vigorously
condemns ii. He has acquired twelve foreign
langu ayes by a method of his own, and with re-
gard to his requirements in philology and chro-
nology, he SAYS: 81 was one of the most extraor-
binary personalities of my time, and Francois
Arago sometimes laughingly threatened to have
me burnt rs a sorcerer." On one occasion when
in Munich for a few weeks, and spending his
evenings with Bavarian SO PANTS, who each smoked
four or five cigars and drank three or four pots
of beer daily (Steinheil, the most illustrious,
Loasted of smoking 5000 cigars n year,, the
Able came to smoke three or four cigars a day.
He had also anew taken to snuff, SO that when
preparing his calculus of variutlons-a very diff
fcuIt mathematical work-he would empty his
snutf-box (which held 25 grannles) in a day.
But one day he WAS surprised II find himself
painfully unable to recall the meaning of foreign
words and remember dates with which he had
been familiar. Thereupon he formed II heroic
resolution, and since August 81, 1868, when he
smoked three cigars and took twenty-five CEN
times worth of snuff, he has, mp to June %,
1889, touched neither. This was for him, a
complete resurrection, not onlyof memory, but
of general health and well-beingi he has had in
definite capacity for work, unconscious digestion,
perfect assimilation of food (of which he can
take more), &c. For the rest, he mentions that
he takes a small cup OF black coffee i'll the morn
ing, and when all but two or three spoonfuls
have been drunk he adds q small spoonful of
brandy or other alcoholic liquor. This is the
ration of stimulants. He goes to bed about nine
and rises at five, full of yigor." The Able is
over 80.

Mr.. HERBERT SPENCER, an eminent
English writer, made a speech during aslate
visit to America, in which he assumed that
Americans were wearing themselves out
with almost ceaseless labor, and he babe his
hearers be more moderate in their eXer-
tions, to give more time to enjoyment, and
to go into pleasure with more Zest. This
advice is given by many to active foreign
residents, especially in this kingdom who
are said to be wearing themselves out and
growing prematurely grey, owing to over
work on plantations and other industrial
enterprises Now Mr.. Spencer himself is a
sufferer with nervous ailment owing to
overWork. His disease being nat rally fore
most in his thoughts, his conversation
would lead up that way, and 80 he would be
likely to hear of 4 multitude OF cases similar
to his own. An American editor comment
ing on the subject said 1.-the trouble with
US indeed, is that our people do not work
thoroughly enough. They are apt to neg
lect what they ought to do and to hunt for
employment where they can thrive with
out constant industry. 1t is on that ac-
count that recently arrived foreigners are
getting possession of whole branches of
trade, and in New England are even driv-
ing out the farmers of the native stock.
The rough manual labor is now chiefly, in
fact, almost entirely done by foreigners, and
a large share, if not the largest share of
skilled labor is done by men who have come
to the republic within the last geneIa alton.
1t may be said that real overwOrk is not

is, on the contrary, too great a tendency to
take relaxation as a matter of course" Mr..
Spencer's warming was a mistake and may
do harm by encouraging people to attribute
to too much work, the maladies which in
them are due rather to the misuse they
make of their leisure. The warming we need
is agains. careless work, and the lesson to
be taught is that of patient, steady, method
ical, thorough conscientious work combined
with economy, both conducive to happiness
and contentment and productive of results
of the best value whether intellectual or
material. All this applies especially, to our
foreign population in Hawaii. There is q
great deal of i'll health attributed to over
work, which is perhaps, largely the result
of m~ismanged leisure. But it is, perhaps,
more especially the neglect of economy
which brings about the worry and care that
really wears out our business people. Con-
slant work that is regular will not injure.
TIL want of cOngenial work will keep peo-
pie frequently engaged in nursing real o.
imaginary sores until the necessity or in
spin ation of eXertion engaging every faculty
of mind and body, and occupying fully all
available time for labor becomes a source of
regeneration and inspiration of new life,

employed public man was hobbling on his

ALL the indications at Washington in
regard to the continuance of the Treaty of
Reciprocity are favorable. The views of
the President and the administration are
spoken of as very friendly. The Committee
on Foreign Affairs of the House have post
poned the consideration of the subject, and
we have assurances hat the disposition of
the administration and of leading men at
Washington is to await the action of Con-
gress upon the tariff before taking up the
Treaty. II is understood that the "modifi-
cations" referred to by the President in his
messsee, are such as would be acceptable to
the Hawaiian Government.
