The Annapolis Naval Cadets.

The plebs, or youngsters, as they
are also called, are at once Quartered on
board large, old fashioned wooden
frigate, which always lies alongside the
dock, and does duty during the school
sessions as n gunnery ship. The vessel
becomes the residence Of the plebs during
the summer months; here they have
their first experience Of sailor life, ana
here among other things, they first
acquire the art Of sleeping in hammock.
1t is truly an edifying sight to see these
lads OIL their first night struggling with
their hammocks.
The hammocks used in the navy, you
bear in mind, are very unlike those in
which people swing under the trees in
the country. The navy hammocks are
made of heavy canvas, and are slunS
from the beams of the ship. They are
usually hung quite high from the deck,
so that it is not easy FOR beginner TO
climb into one with am degree Of grace
even if lie manages 10 get in at all.
Usually the novice struggles III from one
side and goes head over heels out at the
other-mattresses, pillows and bed clothes
all accompanying him. After two or
three unsuccessful attempts of this sort,
however, the grcenest begins to improve,
and one or two weeks Of practice Is sufii-
cient to mako any one an adept i'll the
art.-St. Nicholas.

the Asylum.

DR.. Harry Lane, superintendent
Of the Insane Asylum, and his two
assistants, have a wholesale job Of
vaccination on hand. They have
commenced vaccinating each and
every one Of the 4sO patients in the
asylum who has not been in6cuIated
with vaccine virus within the past
five years. The prevalence ofsmall-
pOx on the Pacific coast at the pres
ent time is the reason for this very
necessary precautiOn. In the first
stages Of this terrible disease the pa
TENTS delirium is very apt TO be mis-
taken for insanity and his committal
TO the asylum would result in the
spread Of the disease throughout the
institution. This occurred once
when the asylum was located at
East Portland, causing many deaths,
and it was with great difficulty that
attendants and nurses could be
found to wait upon the patients.
The work of vaccinating the inmates
is about half completed and hereafter
every new arrival will be subjected
to this treatment before he or she is
admitted to the receiving ward.
Fred Kelley, the attendant who
was taken down with scarlet fever
several days agois getting better
and il is thought that he has the
disease in its mildest form. He is
kept in the pest house, a detached |
building some distance from the
main building, and has the care of a
competent nurse. Charles Tanker,
the TuetOnic shoemaker Of the in
stitutiOn, after a visit to his family
who live down town, returned to
5he asylum and informed the super
rhat one of his children
lad been taken down with the
measles. The superintent compell-
I'd him TO disrobe and don suit of
,atients clothes, while his own were
'elng disinfected in the "dead room.'
The entire building has been thor
'ughly fumigated with sulphur,
tick birthstone and other disinfec-
ants, and the danger of contagion !

GOOD RESOLUTIONS.

SALEM, Or, Mch. 3, 'SS.
Your committee on resolutions
beg leave to submit the following
report:
WHEREAS, It is a well known
fact that the ordinary articles of
food for consumption such as tea,
coffee, sugar, spices, lard, butter,
dried fruits etc, are adulterated to
such an extent by unscrupulous
manufacturers as to render their
moderate use exceedingly injurious
to the health of the consumer,
therefore be it
Resolved, That we are in favor of
a law being enacted by the incoming
legislature to require under suitable
penalties all manufacturers of food
products to plainly mark their goods
stating the character and percentage
of the adulteratiOn if any and where
coloring matter or bleaching is used
to plainly mark it as such. And be it
further
Resolved, That we are in favor of
all pure food products being plainly
as such.
