= Few persons are aware of the ex.
tensive nature of the victualing on board
the great ocean steamers. Each vessel
is provisioned as follows for tho pnssen-
gers and crew: $500 pounds of butter,
5000 hams, 1000 pounds of biscuits,
exclusive of those supplied for the crew
5000 pounds Of grapes, almonds. figs and
other desert fruits 1900 pounds Of jams
a1d iellies; timed meats, 5000 pounds /;
cried beans, 5000 pounds rice, 5000
pounds onions, 5000 pounds potatoes,
40 tons -four, 800 barrels eggs, 1900
dozen. Fresh vegetables, dead meat, and
live bullocks, sheep, pigs, geese, turkeys,
ducks, fowls, fish aud casual game are
generally supplied at London, so that 1t
Is difficult to estimate them. Probably
two dozen bullocks and sixty sheep
would be fair average for the whole
voyage and the rest may be inferred in

when travelling is heavy, twenty five
fowls are often used in soup for single
dinner.
= Our farmers do not eat enough.
They rely too much upon the fryingpsn.
AS soon as possible they should revolu.
tionize their cookery and diet. 1t is re-.

sons overworked, insufciently nourished,
centuries this disease has spread among
the farmers of Europe. 1t will some day
strike the same class in this country.
Farmers ahould be tho best fed class of
our people. In addition TO vegetables
and cereals they require plenty of the
beat beef and mutton.
= Some one has said that ''when we
come to die we will end that oil We have
is what We have given away" This
strange declaration seems to be warrant
ed by what our Saviour eaid to d certain
young man: IF thou wilt be perfect.
60, sell what thou hast, and give to the
poor, and thou shalt have treasure in
heaven" The declaration filed the
young mans mind with grief and he
went away, "for he was one that had
great possessions" God had bestowed
upon him tho means of doing a great
deal of good, but he was unwilling to
use the possessions which God had given
him for the purpose for which they were
given.

and worthy young farmer Of Barnwell
County, was accidentally killed while
leaving Blackville, on the evening of
August Ia, with o cotton gin which he
had had repaired, and was taking home

and the gin was thrown with it's whole
weight upon his breast. death ensuing
