THE DEAD SEA OF THE WEST.

The famous Dead Sea of the West,
Mono Lake, situated in Mono County,
California, is thus described by q writer
in The Sm Francisco Chronicle. Its
water is SO strongly impregnated with
alkalies that the hand held for O few
minutes in it will crack open and the
skin be eaten off. No living thing exists
i'll it. though it is said that often, after
strong winds have blown across it's sur
face, there is layer of worms several
feet wide ON its leeward shore. It
cleanscs cloth dipped in it almost in
stanty, and if they are not as speedily
removed does worse. Its shores are bar
rem, bleak and lonely in the extreme,
bordered by soil that will grow nothing
but the scrubbiest of sage brush. In the
prosperous times of Bodie steamer
piled on the lake, but it is now laid up
in ordinary. The length of the lake is
about thirty miles anu its greatest width
about eighteen miles, Seen from this
magnificent point, surrounded by the
great walks of Bloody Canyon, it is one
of the noblest views ON earth. but ut the
same time it only proves to one who has
been about its shores and toiled across
De A@erted and sandy interval to the
welcome foot of the Sierra, with even no
better way across than the Bloody Cam
yon, that truly distance lends enchant-
ment to the view"

eyes, but have enough of my own. :"
"And in the next place it is rough

and no respectable person can counten-
ance such things"
but, faith"
"That's enough, sir. You can't go.
I want you to enjoy yourself, but you
must seek some more respectable amuse-
ment."
An hour later curious thing hap
pened in the circus tent. A boy climbed
to the top fight of seats and sat down
beside o man who had just finished q
glass of lemonade and was lighting %
cigar. He had his plug on the back of
his head and seemed to be enjoying
himself hugely. It was father and son.
The father hA gone straight to the
grounds from dinner, and the boy had
run away. They looked OF each other
for half minute, and then the boy got
in the first blow by whispering:
"Say dad, if you won't lick me I won't
tell ma you was here"
The father nodded his head to the
agreement, and the great spectacular
parade in the ring began.

Good Cooking q Foe to Intemper-
ance.

DIR. Brunton, in recent work on
The Physiology Of Digestion. says
s.Good cooking is one Of the most effect
i've means of sitting the craving for
drink. which is the root of so much evil.
Driuk-cravipg, in truth, depends, as
often as not on causes ola purely phys
ical nature. Bad cooking is Que Of the
causes of an unequal thirst, and the
demand thus created leads very,
naturally to a supply in the shape OF
alcoholics. The mental phase of con-
tentment which supervenes on the d.
gestion of food which has been savory
and we'll cooked, is powerful stimulus
to temperance; just as the opposite
condition of badly-cooked meals sug
ycsts remedy in the shape of liquor,
which is often consumed, under such
circumstances, greatly in excess OF any
needs the body may, physiologically,
exhibit for alcohol. This is we'll seen
in Switzerland, where, when the food is
by no means of a savory kind, glass OF
'schnapps' is resorted to for the purpose
Of 'temperins' the meal, and of render
ing it more appetizing. There is prob
ably a mental effect produced by a
pleasant, well-cooked meal, which effects
the brain and nervous system in an APP
preciable manner, but one o. the same
time difficult to explain. Be this as it
may, there seems no reason to doubt
that good cook' ny and temperance are
sworn allies; carclessness in preparing
food. AM, it may be added, in feeding
at large, is the equity stanch ally TO
intemperance aud excess"
The Herald of Health, writing in the
same vein says THE greatest foe to in
temperance is the sanitariaD, the health
reformer, who leads people into health
full habits of living, Of eating and drink
ing, of working and sleeping, of recrea-
ion and study. Every nutritious and
healthful meal neatly spread and par
taken of with thankfulness, is temper
ance lesson. Every bad cook who pre-
pares unsavory. indigestable meals helps
to make demand for stimulants.-The
Cook.

The use of fire in the preparation of
food is peculiar to man, who has been
called the cooking animal" A few of
the strictly herbivorous and carnivorous
animals have shown capacity for CHI n.y.
ing their diet. Thus, the horse and cow
may be brought to eat fish and flesh;
the sea birds can be habituated to grain;
cats are fond of alligator pears, and
dogs take naturally to plantain. Ger
tain animals, in passing from the young
10 the mature state, make remarkable
change of food thus the tadpole feeds
upon vegetable matter but when 1T
becomes frog it lives on insects.

The Young People.
A Mock Polar Bear Hunt.

The mock polar bear hunt is fay
orite game among the Eskimo boys.
A few lines will describe it. One OF
the boys of the village gets a polar
bear robe, and wrapping it around
him after he is out among the ice hum
mocks about the village, he comes
crawling along some sledge-path nea:
the igloos, when he is discovered bt
the dogs and surrounded. This i,
likely to be very rough sport: for Tho
boys take their spears and jab away
at their brothers in the bear robe, un
til you would think they would breaI
some Of his ribs while the dogs EN-
boldened by these supposed brave
advances, oltentimes take big bites
OF fur from the dangling edges OF the
robe. The mock bear rears up on
his hind feet and growls in a very
ferOcious manner, until, worn on
at last with his hard work and havin.
his head so tightly covered up with y
heavy robe, he finally falls over Al
some thrust of a spear and pretend
to expire. But the next moment he
crawls out from the robe, much
the disgust Of the dogs, with their
hopes of Il fine meal Of bear tlesh.-
