On The Indian Ocean.
ALDEN, ARABIA,

March 80, 1885.
We have passed the Red Sea
with its dangerous reefs and rocky
islands and have now embarked
upon the Indian Ocean. "The
Khedive" carries us more evenly
and easily than any steamer l have
ever seen; no one is sick, although
the Thermometer must be near 80
degrees, and "white caps dancing"
We left Cairo the morning Of the
25th casting a lingering look back
on its palaces, gardens and NINA
rets, and, far beyond, the pyramids.
We had been enquiring after the
Khamsin of the desert, but had no
wish for personal acquaintance,
however it came hastily after US
with clouds Of dust and sand and
accompanied US many miles along
the green valley. No wonder the
poor animals turn away and stand,
the picture of patient endurance,
when this wind blows, or that the
peasants are 30 many Of them par
TALLY blind.
Near the battle ground of Tel-el-
Kebir is a pretty country, kept with
care, where are inferred the Eng
lish who fell on that occasion.
At the stations generally one
good house but with q mud-wall
village near by, were many Arabs
in their slight costume. They have
the Syrian custom of being bare
legged, but with heavy turbans or
shawls over their heads, frequently
both. Children ragged and dirty
often bright with tensel ornaments
trotted up and down the platform
crying their wares.

saw that it was not because of hel
beauty that the dark brown face
had been covered, for the mouth
was large and ill-favored, and the
nose awry.

"of a lady I met who went with her
husband, a captain, Just after they
married up to the Northern Ocean.
The ship was crushed in the ice,
and only a few got into a boat and
away before she sank"
"The lady sank ?"
"The ship. They foated around
for days suffering from cold and
hunger, but most of all from lack of
water. One man died, and another
going crazy jumped into the water
and was drowned. The poor wo-
man wrapped in her husbands coat
lay still, she had the comfort of in.
sensibility for time. Another
might shut down upon them, and
bright distressful morning came;
surely they must die. Their eyes
had become bleared so that images
appeared before them which had
no real existence, and they were
often disappointed in their belief
that they saw a sail. At last there
was ship, and no one can describe
their feelings of hope and fear as
they We're almost left, but at last
had their tiny signal deserted.
They were taken up and kindly and
ten6s'ly cared for. Fed little by
little until they could bear more,
and in few months came back
again to their native land"
"And she went on the sea again "'

others addt d theirs until we quite
entered the realms of fancy.
"Ha! ha! that reminds me-" sale
Mr.. Macintosh, "of Aliens story

Cold-weather Management.

No domestic animal needs more care at
this season than poultry. There can be
no use in wintering poultry unless they
are source Of profit. There can not be
any profit in them unless they are in a
good healthy condition. They can not
be kept in such condition without good
care and attention. Thse consists in
thorough cleanliness in all things II IN q
confined place, it should be cleaned out
every day, or at least every other day.
This I do myself. The perches and Aoors
and nest-boxes, and every particle Of
wood that comes IN direct contact, should
be sprinkled evsry time the house is
cleaned out, with common kerosene.
The food must be of varied nature,
not too much soft feed by any means
never above once day, and always in
the morning at night. They
must have old lime, gravel sand, ETC., to
keep the grinding mill IN order. The
food should be wheat, oats, barley, and
about one-fifth CON- This with table
bits, soft mixture Of corn mea1 etc, Hell
sailed, win constitute good feeding. The
fowls, IN addition to this, must have q
good supply once week Of onions and

She Was widows only child
Bright as a summers day;
Fresh as the breath OF roses wild,
Beautiful, winsome, gay.
He loved the very air she breathed,
Worshipped her treeses brown,
Happy when smiles her red lips wreathed,
And wretched when she frowned.
Love, am lonely" he softly said,
'ITired of living alone"
Gently he bent DER the graceful head,
Love was in every tone.

YOUTH RENEWED.

II wish were boy again.
30 sighed man o'ertasked;
And fafe was at his elbow then
And granted what he asked.
Reduced again to boyhood's size,
He found himself once more
The aspirant for many prize
That he had lost before.
His schoolmates all around him pressed.
And work and play went on,
And still he felt his youthful zest
For toll or sport was gone.
The lessons that were easy once;
Were now more hardly done;
"a felt himself the very Ounce,
>xf,at he had called his SOM
The blunders that he made Of old
He now avoids at will;
The others, graver, deadlier, hold
Their ties about him still.
The lads around look on and quiz
This Scion gone to school
They think that all bis caution is
The wisdom of a fool.
THINGS are not always what they seem:
And when the man awoke
From what was but a fevered dream.
In altered tones he spoke:
'Iife's rule il easy understood
We may not live again;
Bat boyhood's days for boys are good,
And manhood's days for men!

The Boy Whom Holman Befriended.

National Republican.
Every one will remember the appoint
ment of little cripple named Willie
Howard to be page in the last house.
This poor little chap, although quite well
along in years, is not much more than
three feet high, and is badly crippled.
He somehow or other elected the SYM
pathy of ''Objector" Holman, who in
this instance did not oppose the fatal
objection when the boy applied for a
place. Mr.. Holman placed himin front Of
the appropriations committee room door,
and kept him there In spite OF those who
did not like to see the little fellow
suffering. He is not here this session,
and it is said that the little fellow viii
never be able to again take his place
among the employees Of the house. After
securing his place year ago the boy
purchased pair Of goats and little
wagon and secured a great deal Of keen
enjoyment from the exercise OF driving
the pair nom place toplace. During his
sickness this summer some scoundrel
stole his goats, and the boy is destitute
and dying. It is said that Mr.. Holman,

Clean Hands.
Harper's Bazaar.

Harper's Bazaar.
According to the fearful experiments
of DR.. Foster, of the italian Medical Ga
zette, there is no such thing as the posi-
bility of clean hands on anybody. Wash
ed with soap and water, with carbolic
acid, with all and any of the disinfec-
tants in common use, our hands will still
remain scientifically unclean; that is to
say, that a preparation called strilized
gelatine, absolutely destitute of living
organisms, on'being touched by the fin
gers thus washed and supposed to be
clean, Immediately developes living Or
ganisms acquired from the fingers. But
if the hands are washed in q dilute solu-
ton of bichloride of mercury, or corro-
sive sublimate, one part to 1000 part of
water, perfect cleanliness is attained, and
no living organisms viii be developed by
THOUGH of the fingers. It is pitiful to
think that we are really so palpably
made of the dust of the earth; but it
seems that we must endure it, since cor
rosive sublimate can hardly be made the
adjunct of our daily toilets. and If it were
then the next time we shook hands, or
took up book, or went into the street,
we should but develop q fresh crop of
of Heterogeneous. The fact is that
these discoveries Of science show us, If
they do nothing else, how fearlessly and
wonderfully we are made, and If we re-
garded them seriously, there is nothing
we could eat and nothing we could do
which would not make death seem to
hang imminent In the air. There is one
refuge for the unscienti6c, and that is
in whistling the whole matter down the
wind, keeping clean to the best Of belief
and thus taking care Of ones sell, letting
the micro organisms take care Of them
selves.
