With the object of reducing the danger of
explosions Of gas in the bunkers OF her mat
esty's ships, the admiralty have issued new
rules for the government of the steam re-
serves. According to these, directly after the
coalng of ship is finished, the engineer
officer is to see that the coal shutes are quite
clear of coal Coal should not be taken on
board wet, as moisture sometimes causes
rapid and dangerous generation Of heat and
gas While the decks are being washed after
coaling, the close bunker covers are to be re-
placed to prevent water passing into the
bunkers, and the coal should always be kept
as dry as possible The ventilating pipes to
bunkcrs, when SO fitted, should be kept clear
No light, except in safety lamp, is to be
used inside the coal bunkers until it has been
ascertained that they do not contain ex-
plosive gas; and special precautions in this
respect are to be taken for few days after
coaling. Where coal bunkers are not pro-
vided with permanent ventilating fittings,
the lids are to be taken off twice a week, and
kept off at least ten hours during the week.
Every precaution is to be taken to ventilate
such bunkers before men are sent to work in
them In order to render the ventilation
efficient there must be at least two openings
one for the admission of pure air, and the
other for the escape of foul air-and, where
the two permanent ventilating fittings do moi
include both, the bunker lids are to be taken
off periodically London Times.

DIET OF THE AGED.


hn2t 1b AuInOrity says on tHt SuDJccts
Popular Error.
An authority of no less weight than Sir
Henry Thompson declares III recent hand
book, that considerably more than half of
the disease which embitters life among the
middle and upper classes of the population is
due to avoidable errors In diet And while
he tells us that with few exceptions men and
women are healthier and stronger in every
way without alcoholic drinks than with them
he does not hesitate to declare, at the same
time, that more mischief, in the form OF
active disease, impaired vigor, and shortened
life, arises from erroneous habits in eating
than from the occasional use Of alcoholic
drink, great as he knows the evil of it to be.
Sir Henry does not think it bad sign that
ne appetite should diminish as age increases;
and he deprecates any attempts by stimu-
lants or tonics or concentrated foods to sim
prove" the appetite in such cases. As we in
crease in age we put forth less energy and
activity, and as a consequence we have less
power to eliminate excess of food The
scientific view of the case Is simple enough
to be popularly comprehended. The over
supply Of nutrition must be thrown off or
absorbed into the system. With the young
the surplus Is got rid of by active work or
exercise; but even in tender years it makes
| its presence felt in occasional sickness. From
about middle life onward it is packed away
| in the form of fat; and it may make its
presence known by interfering with the
action of the liver, by rheumatic attacks and
obscure and troublesome diseases.
| While condemning excess generally, Sir
Henry Thompson holds, with Cornaro, that
from middle life onward persons who would
have health and long life go together must
conform to nature and reduce the daily sup
ply of food. When 20 is reached it is more
than ever necessary, he tells US, that thi:
should be done; and in the same way, at 81
with less activity, there must be less support
If this course be followed, right good ant
happy and even useful old age may be en-
joyed; providing, of course, there is no in
herted taint to be combated and accident
do not come in the way. The difficulty il
such case is that man wants to be save,
from friends and relatives who are apt to re
gard lessening appetite with alarm, an,
seek by endearments, and when these fail b
threats and also by superstitious means, t
force the palate beyond its natural require
ments. Plain and frugal fare, then, woul
seem to be the essential condition not only c
prolonged but of happy existence; and th
ancient maxim remains a guiding principl
to the race, that man must eat to live, nc
live to eat leeds Mercury.

Here is q method which an ingenious
friend suggests to me as the proper punish
nent for the bratnless individual who points
a pistol at a relative. and after he has shot
him dead says be didn't know it was
loaded" Let the ignorant ass who did the
murder be placed erect with his back to a
wall. In front of him let there be basket
filed to the brim with rsvolyers, all alike in
shape. Let him then be told that all those
revolvers are empty but one, which is loaded
with ball, and let an executioner then appear
and pick out twenty of the revolvers one
after another and snap them at the ignorant
mans head If the loaded pistol happens to
be among the score picked out, and the
offender is shot dead, well and good; be can
never SO offend again; while If the loaded
pistol remains in the basket and he escapes
he will have received lesson of kind cal.

CHARMED BIZ A,SNAKE.
A Dog Goes Mad from Being Charmed
by Rattlesnake.
Fsora the Mooon (Go) Epenfno Ners,

ffoRa the mdoOR tGd.) EUertnq NelrS
A few days since Giles Melton, farmer,
was out hunting in the woods near his house.
His dog ran on some distance ahead, and
when Mr.. Melton found him, ten minutes
later, he had been charmed by rattle
snake. The dog was crcuching down on
the ground, whining piteously and slowly
creeping forward. AT first Mr.. Melton did
not see the snake, but when his dog refused
to notice him. he looked in the direction
the dog was slowly creeping, and there,
about twenty feet away, he saw an i'm
mense rattlesnake, coied as If ready
TO strike, and its ghttering eyes fixed
on the dog. Mr. Melton did NOT at first
comprehend the situation. He had often
seen his dog kill snakes and at first thought
he was now creeping up watching for
chance to spring on the reptile and kill it.
He soon noticed that the dog was trembling
in every limb, and seemed powerless to do
anything except creep slowly nearer aud
nearer to the deadly reptile. Every few
moments the dog would whine piteously,
and then, apparently impelled by an FIRE
sistible impulse, would creep few inches
nearer its desdly charnler. Mr.. Melton
watched the actions of his dog until he was
fully satisfied the animal was unable TO free
itself from tho charm, which was drawing
1t slowly but surely within reach of the
death dealirg fangs, and then he shot and
killed the snake
When the snake had been killed the dog
fell down foamng at the mouth, and for
half an hour was apparently lifeess 1t
recovered finally. and acco npanied Mr..
Melton home, but all day it continued to
act strangely, and would not touch food or
water. The following morning Mr. Melton
found the dog in the back. yard foaming at
the mouth and Swapping AZ everything in
reach. He was soou satisfied the dog had
hydrophia, and lost no time in killing 1t.
He is satisfied that the effects of the snake
charming caused the dog TO go mad.

II is subject of remark that Miss A. or

apparently small income, but those ladies
understand the art of shopping. They at
tend the special sales and secure bargains,
and are their own Inilliners and dress
makers. 1t will be noticed that they do not
indulge in cheap finery OF tawdry colors.
What they have is of good quality, and SO
quiet in its color and texture that 1t gives
tnem the appearance of being we'll
dressed without challenging attention to
details. They observe the French rule
of being well gloved and well booted.
They dispense with faces and ribbon bows
Instead of fiourishing haudkerchiefs that
cost 25 cents, with Greek border in red o.
blue, they carry unostentatiously a neat,

cred edge, fit for any lady in the lAbd. ard
