My Ship.

o. though my ship is sailing far out on the
wide, wide sea,
The prospect ever dearest still is my own
home to me;
And all the time, by night by day, before me
faces dear
Come smiling, greeting, cheering, as in fancy
they appear.
o! though my ship is sailing far in distant wa
ters blue,
My heart looks ever homeward to my home
ties, ever true;
mark each days departing, for know it ID
one less,
Before clasp my loving ones, or feel Their
soft caress.
o! though my ship is sailing far, in storm and
tempest of,
1 still can feel the pressure of warm hands and
fingers soft;
/ am looking, thinking, longing for the time to
come for me,
When shall meet my children dear and take
them on my knee.
o! though my ship is sailing far, twill soon be
"homeward bound;"
On land or sea was never heard, by man, a
sweeter sound;
With sail all set and bounding Ger the rolling,
blowy sea,
Elch hour is bringing nearer all my darling
ones to me.
o.! then swift winds, froTa ont the skies come
b41wing strong and free;
Blow for me homcward breezes, hasten home
my ship and me;
All my loved ones there are waiting waiting,
looking er the sea;
And in patience sweet are watching, Ol my
ship for thee and me.

Wonders of the Oceans Depths.

AS to the quantity of light at the
bottom of the sea there has been much
dispute. Animals dredged from below
700 fathoms either have no eyes, or
faint indications of them, or else their
eyes are very large and protruding.
Crabs eyes are four or five times as
large as those of a crab from surface
water, which shows that that light is
feeble, and that eyes to be of any use
must be very large and sensitive. An
other strange thing is that where the
creatures in those lower depths have
any color it is Of orange or red, or red
dish orange. Sea anemones, coralS
shrimp and crabs have this brilliant
color. Sometimes it is pure red or
scarlet, and in many specimens it in
clines toward purple. Not green or
blue fish is found. The orange red is
the fish's protection, for the blush
green light in the bottom of the ocean
makes the orange or red fish appear of
neutral tint and hides it from enc
mics. Many animals are black, others
neutral in color. Some fish are pro-
vided with boring tails so that they
can burrow in the mud. Finally, the
rurfooa of tho cuhmarinn mountain IS
covered with shells, like an ordinary
sea beach, showing that it is the eat
ing-house of vast schools of carnivor-
GUS animals. A Goldfish takes a whole
oyster into it's mouth, cracks the shells,
digests the meat and Spits out the rest.
Crabs crack the shells and suck out the
meat. In this way come whole mounds
Of shells that are dredged up. Pro

Bachelor Life in Turkey.

Both state and church combine to
make the life of II Turkish bachelor
miserable. AS long as his parents are
alive, he can live with them without
much trouble. AS soon us they die
he must get Il permit from the civil
and religious authorities before he
can be admitted to any household.
Then the proprietor thereof, in the
interest of public morals, must see
to it that other persons than females
wait upon his boarder. If the bach
elor be rich enough to occupy house
or to rent unfurnished chambers, he
cannot possibly obtain that simple
privilege unless he shows that a
woman Of good repute lives with him
therein. 4 mother or sister or aunt

Nothing much. We bought him

WOman'S Voice.

Not in the swayng of The summer trees,
When evening breezes sing their vesper
hymn
Not the minstrel's mighty symphonies,
Nor ripples breaking on tie rivers hrim,
Is earth's best music; these may have awhile
High thoughts IN happy hearts and irkins cares
besu.le.
But even rs the swallows silken wings,
Skimming the wafer OF the sweeping lake,
Stir the still silver with hundred rings
So doth one sound the sleeping spirit wake
To brave the danger and to bear the harm
A low and gentle voice-lear woman's chief
est charm.
An excellent thing it is! and ever lent
To truth and love- and meekness; they who
This gift, by the all gracious Giver sent.
Ever by quiet step and smile are known;
BY kind eyes that have wcp', hearts that have
sorrow'd.
An excellent thing it is-when first in glad
A mother looks into her infants eyes
Smiles to its smiles, and saddens to It's sad
ness
PalcS at its palencss, sorrows ut lis cries;
lis food and sleep, and smiles and little joys
AL these come ever blcnt with one low,S gentle
voice.
An excellent thing it is when life is leaving
Leaving with gloom and sadness, joys and
cares
The strong heart falling, and the high soul
gricving
With strongest thoughts and wild, unwonted
fears;
Then, then woman's low, sof, sympathy
Comes like an angels voice to teach US how 10
die.
But most excellent thing it is in youth,
When the fond lover hears the loved ones
tone
That fars, but longs, TO syllable the truth
How tier two hearts are one, and sho k.s

That haunt the trembling tale brght-eycd

THE FAMILY DOCTOR.
Fasting as n Cure for RheumatEsn

Fasting as n Cure for rheumatism.
DR.. Tanners heresy may yet become
the creed of regular practice. Tanner
claimed that fasting was a good
hygienic cure for many forms of blood
disease, and now DR.. Wood, of the
medical department of Bishops college
Montreal, reports fasting as a cure for
acute rheumatism. Plenty Of water OF
lemonade was allowed but no med
cines were given, and from the GOO
results obtained in fasting from fou
to ten days DR.. Wood is inclined t
believe that rheumatism is only a phase
of indigestion.-Dr. Foote's Health

Oyertaxing the Brain.

In a recent lecture on "Brain
Health" at Edinburgh, DR.. j. Batty
Tuke said that, as a matter Of fact, 1t
was not an easy thing to overtask the
energies of the brain by work. 1t was
not work, but worry, that killed the
brain. But break down from over.
strain did occasionally take place, and
the first really important symptom
was sleeplesness; when that set in
there was cause for alarm. Loss Of
sleep was brought about thus: When
the brain was being actively exercised,
there was an increase Of blood in its
vessels-this was spoken of as
functional hyperenia." If they con-
tinued the exercise of the brain power
too long, there was tendency of the
blood to remain in too great quantity.
from the cells becoming exhausted and
not being able to control the vessels.
In sleep the amount of blood was
diminished, and sleep could not be
procured if this functional hyperenia
persisted. In the absence of sleep, the
cells could not recover themselves, and
their activity became impaired.
Headache, loss of appetite, and general
listlessness followed AS soon as a
child or young person developes con-
tinuous headache, work should be dis
continued at once.

Just at this moment tall, broad

RemedY for ErYsIDeIas

At the recent congress Of German
surgeons, DR.. Fisher, of Strasburg,
drew attention to the value of naphtha-
line as an antiseptic. For some skin
diseases, and especially in the treat
ment of erysipelas, it is almost specific
The application is made in the most
simple manner possible by
rubbing gauze in the powdered mate
rial, or dipping any suitable fabric in
an etheriel solution diluted with alco-
hol. Naphthaline being very cheap,
this preparation will be less expensive
than anything of the kind now in the
market. 1t is extensively used in
Strasburg, where it is regarded as a
perfect preventive of erysipelas; and it
is hoped that if this valuable property
can be substantiated, it will be used
for the same purpose in this country.
DR.. Fisher does not state whether its
use in the manner stated is attended
with any inconvenience or pain to the
patient; but persons employed in gas
works and elsewhere who have suffer
ed from scales of naphthaline entering
the eyes, etc, would be disposed to
regard the remedy with very consider
able suspicion.

POOL PUNISHMENT.

The Refusal of the Trunk Lines to PrOrate
a Serious Matter.
Where the trunk lines refuse to prorate with
road which has evaded the pooling agreement
the punishment is greater upon tho road which
is the sufferer than many suppose. Take road
like the Evansville & Terre Haute, Ito miles
long: it's earnings are cut down even when
through freight traffic is as light at the pres
snt time, $3.50 to $500 per day. To illustrate:
The rate on lumber from Evansville to New York
is 32l9 cents per 100 pounds; from Terre Haute
to New York 80 cents per 100 pounds
In order TO meet competition
tho E. & T. II. is compelled to make schedule
rates from Evansville only Gig cents per 100
pounds from Evansville TO Terre Haute, which
is the first point where their business can,
when out of the pool. take a through rate. out

portion of the through rate $l0.55; oonse-
quentiy, by not having the privilege of pool ia
cilites, they lose 81 80 on every carload of
lumber shipped.

THE SITUATION IMPROVING.

Car Works and Locomotive Manufactures
Doing a Good Business.
President Mllard, of the Indianapolis Car
works, states that matters are beginning to
look decidedly brighter. Inquiries for cars are
becoming more numerous. The Indianapolis,
the Ohio Falls, the Terre Haute, the Michigan
City car-works companies have each received
now orders recently which will keep them busy
for some time to come, and locomotive.works
also are busy. Philadelphia paper reports
that the Baldwin locomotive-works OF Philadel-
phia already have full half Of their capacity
engaged for 1888. There is less pressure for
early deliveries, and although some of their
departments are running overtime they are
what may be termed comfortably situated as
regards orders They running their usual
force OF 5000 hands, and have no present inten-
tiOn of reducing the number. The Portland Ma
chine Company, of Portland, Me-, has enough
locomotive work on hand to occupy them until
November. The three lOcomotive-worGs at Pat
ersOn N. j.. are employing 6,160 men. The
Rogers company employ 400 of this number;
the Grant company 760 men. aud turn out an
engine every other day. The Cooke, formerly
the DanfOrth, works employ 700 men, and have
over seven months' orders on hand. From pres
ent appearances the year 1888 in locomotive
building will be full average of the past i've

Trouble Brewing for This Line-A shippers
EncautiOus Statement.
The Merchants' Dispatch, whether guilty OF
evading the pool not, are yet to have trouble
IN clearing themselves of tho charge. The facts
are that an indianapolis shipper did recently go
into the Merchants Dispatch office, New York and
drop the remark that he had heavy shipment
TO make to an Indianapolis dry goods house.
Before he left the office, man whom the ship
per says he did not know, but who was not the
agent of the Merchants Dispatch, to his knowl-
edge, stepped up to him and remarked, "Here is
$l9 TO pay your fare home" The shipper ac-
knowledges that he received the $19.
paid hs fare home with II, and his
goods were shipped by the Merchants
Dispatch. A few DAYS after tho agent at
indianapolis of competing fast-frieght line,
called on the shipper and asked why he did not
give the line he represented some show, they
made the same fine the Merchants Dispatch
does. He answered thar he always shipped by
the line that offered the most favorable terms.
Had tine shipper then taken the hint and not
have reported the conversation with said agent
to a friend, nor given said friend the statement
published above, it would have been WISER but.
