The days work may be said to begin at
$50 in the morning with the operation OF
wa ,hing the decks. When the clock
the break Of the poop indicates
that time tue ships bell is struck thrice;
it is THREE bells.n As the sound dies
away the boatswain utters q stentorian
"Turn to, and the hardy sailors prepare
for toll. They first put down their pipes;
for they have been enjoying delightful
smoke after the early cup of dubious
coffee served out to them in their pani-
kins ut O'Clock. Then, if they are in
warm ATTITUDES, they diyest themselves OF
their shoes and stockings, turn up their
neither garments and display to the eye
Of the observer q ludicrOuS variety OF
manly calves and bare feet.
Two men, perhaps, proceed TO the pump
and begin to NIL the wash deck tub; three
or four others arm themselves with
brOOrns, and there remain one or two sail
ors to pass along buckets of water for the
boats vain To dash about. There is q
peculiar art, only to be acquired by con-
siderable practice, in throwing bucket
full Of water ON To the deck SO that it may
spread about properly. Cast from the
professional arms of the boatswain the
water falls with a familiar smack" just
behind the barefOoted mariners with their
broOms 1t sweeps playfully over their
feet, and Immediately they begin to scrub
away as if they were determined to de-
Stroy the deck. So bucket after bucket is
dipped into the wash deck tub and passed
on to the bOatswain. In some ships he
uses a hose, and then more men are able
to apply themselves to the brOOms and
scrubbcrS.
II ship is nearing port and the captain
wishes the decks to appear particularly
white, certain articles very familiar to
seafarers are employed in the operation
Of cleansing. These are denOminated by
some nautical freak Of diction "holy
stones" From the mere name we might
imagine them TO be the treasured frag-
ments Of some classical shrine, but in
reality they are most humble pieces Of
sandstone about the size of half a brick.
Poetry sbandons the nautical mind when
the seaman uses the holy stone. Picture
to yourself halfa dozen bronzed and bare
footed mariners on their hands and knees
lugubrously scrubbing the decks with
these stones so that people ashore may ex-
claim: "How beautiful a ship looks. -

Eatables In ENGLAND.

One would be surprised to see how
largely the English are dependent upon
the French for eggs, for fruits Of every
kind and for a wide range Of vegetables.
Figs, plums, tomatoes, pears and early
apples were largely supplied during my
stay in England from across the channel.
But the finest strawberries that ever ate
were raised in England In size, flavor
and quality they could scarcely be sur
passed. 1t was a surprise to me that the
British climate is better than the hot
American climate for strawberry culture.
The sweet potato seems to be almost IN
used among the ordinary English fami-
lies. The tomato, which is almost entire
" brought over from France, is not COM
parable in quality and flavor with those
grown In America American fall and
winter apples are very largely in favor in
Great Britain.-Henry Ward Beecher in
BROOKLYN Eagle.

factor in producing this result was the
increasing use of money, the high prices
being looked upon as the result of manip-
ulation, though the advance by the Bank
of England in the rates Of discount is ex-
pected to check in a measure the flow OF

six Indictments Pound.


Six Indictments Found.
CHICAGO, May 29.-It is learned that
Spies, Schwabe. Fielder, Parsons. Fischer
Engel, Linggar. seliger. schaubel and
Meebe were indicted under six charges.
The first two are contained In two vol.
luminous indictments In which defend.
ants are named collectively. One of these
Is the bomb indictment which charges
them with wilful murder in igniting the
fuse and casting the bomb into the ranks
OF police. The other is the same except
that revolver and bullets were used in
place Of bombs. Besides there Is an in.
dictment against each Of the ten men
named charging them as individuals with
the crime OF murder by bomb throwing
and also another set ofindictments charg-
them with murder by pistol shots. In
addition to the two series Of indictments
charging defendants with murder, there
Is also a series charging the ten persons
named with conspiring to murder, these
words conspiracy to MURDER" taking
the place in this series OF the words "kill"
and "kill and murder which is mention.
ed In the first two series. The six con-
spiracy indictments each in turn charge
conspiracy TO kill and murder the six Of
fcers who have so far died from the ef-
fects OF wounds received during the riot
of May 4. The first name of deceased
officers aud name Of another being given
in each indictment and one name only

A Most Remarkab,e Case.

During the summer Of 1884, suffering
from blood poisoning, the result Of a gun
shot wound received during the Hlate
unpleasantness," my attention was called
to the remedy of 5. s., s. through the
public press. and l wrote to the proprie.
tors Of that medicine, describing my case,
which l repeat for the benefit OF other
sufferers. The ball struck the elbow joint
and went through. 1t completely crush
ed all the articulative surface of the hu-
neral so that both condyles and say four
inches of the shaft Of the bone were re
moved by the surgeon. 1t also severyed the
ulnar nerve. The operation left the arm
much shortened and timber, but 1t was
very useful. Some time in the fall Of
1879 it commenced TO swell and infiame
below the elbow. and 500 after it sup
purated and discharged horribly offensive
matter. The bone spread until the entire
fore arm was a putrid mass, encroaching
both on the back and palm of the hand.
/ was warned by the surgeons that this
might happen in after life from nerve and
blood poverty below the elbow. My con-
dition may be imagined at that time.
The wound was so offensive that | could
hardly remain In q close room. | tried
many remedies, external and internal,
but TO no avail. In june, 1884, l saw the
advertisement of Swift's Specific in the
city papers, and | wrote Immediately to
the house in Atlanta. receiving the fol.
lowing as a reply: 1--WE fear our s. s. s.
will do you no good except as a tonic"
The very frankness Of the reply induced
me to try it. / was o good patient and
rigidly followed the directions. The first

tormented me and all who came in con
tact with me for so long a time. AS /
continued the use Of the medicine, say in
a month or six weeks, marked improve
ment was apparent, until, as the winter
set in, it had so healed that / could and
did wear a sleeve on my underclothing,
which / had not done in three years be
fore. The ulcer was very obstinate, and
1t was not until the middle of 1885, that
it was entirely well. All redness and
soreness has disappeared. Hair is grow
ing on the arm as before, and | a,cribe all
this to Swift's Specific. Had / dreamed
of such success / would have had the arm
photographed before taking the medicine
that all might see the improvement. /
have lived here for forty years and I'm
well known, and am ready to answer all
inquiries from sufferers in reference to
this case.
