SCRAPS FROM THE SEA.

TEE City OF New York, recently launched
on the Clyde, is the largest vessel in the
world, the Great Eastern being condemned
to be broken up, and therefore really not in
existence. 1t Is $50 feet on the water line,
or $50 feet over all, and the gross tonnage
is 10000 tons. A sister ship, the City OF
Paris, alike in every particular, Is now
building. Both steamships are owned by
the Inman line, and will run between New
York and Liverpool
A MARINE brake has been invented anc
was recently tested on the Seine. 1t con-
sists of acable having attached to it series
of canvas cones which open by the action
of the water, and exert an enormous re-
tarding force on the vessel Thus steamer
running at a speed of 13 knots, was stopped
by this appliance in seconds, "a seconds
being reqxired when she stopped by reyers-
ing the engines without making use OF the
brake.
A SCHOONER building at marlborough,
Me-, is expested to be the largest vessel OF
its kind afloat. It is Of the center-board pat
tern, and will carry five masts. Her length
| of Keel is 225 feet, her breadth is 30 feet
depth of hold 81 feet, and her measurement
will be 1,SOO tons. Her masts will be o1
| Oregon pine, and her foremasts, mainmast
mizzenmast, spankermast and jigger vii
| be each 11s feet in length. She VIII nave
two full decks running the entire length o
| the vessel and nine patches.

SLEEPING AFTER MEALS.
The Natural Way OF Aiding Digestion an
Strengthening the Brain.


Strengthening the Brain.
There is widespread superstition,
cherished by the great majority of the
people; that to sleep Immediately after
they have taken food is to endanger
health, to favor the onset OF apoplexy,
etc.-a superstition based on the as
sumption that during sleep the brain is
normally congcsted. There is, no doubt,
such thing as congestive sleep, but
during normal sleep the brain is an@-
mic When aperson has taken fairly
abundant lunch or dinner the stomach
demands special influx of blood
wherewith to accomplish its work of
Digestion; no organ can more easily
comply with that demand than the
brain, which, when in full activity, Is
suffused with maximum amount of
the vital fluid. But a derivation of
blood from the brain to the stomach
can only take place, except in excep-
tionally full-blooded and vigorous per-
sons, on the condition that the cere-
bral functions be meanwhile par
TALLY or wholly suspended. Hence
many people after taking dinner feel
indisposed for mental action, and
not few long for sleep. The al
ready partially an@mic brain would
fain yield up to the stomach still
further supply of blood and yeild itself
up to refreshing sleep. Doing so it
gains new strength; meanwhile diges-
tion proceeds energetically; and, soon,
body and mind are again equipped to
continue in full force the battle of life.
But superstition, the child of ignor-
ance, intervenes, declares that sleep
during digestion is dangerous, ad-
| monishes the would-be sleepers to
struggle against their perilous inclina-
ton, and, though telling them that
after dinner they may sit awhile, as
| sures them of the adage, AFTER sup
per walk a mile.n The millions oil
its victims continue. therefore, the
strife to which it condemns them,
and ignore the suggestions offered to
| them by the lower animals, who have
! always practiced the lessons of sound
physiology by sleeping after feeding
whenever they are allowed to do so
Hence the human brain and human
] stomach of such victims contend with
each other during the digestive process
the brain, impelled by superstition
strives to work and demands blood t.
work with, while the stomach, stimu
lated by its contents, strives to carry
on its marvellous chemistry, and de
mands an ample supply of blood fol
the purpose. The result OF the strug
gle is that neither is able to do its worl
well: the brain is enfeebled by being
denied its natural rest during the di
, gestive process, and the healthy func
ton of the stomach degenerates int

PARLoR AND PANTRY.

IT is not generally understood that
bananas-fried, baked or roasted-sre very
appetizing, and that sliced and placed in q
dish with alternate slices OF orange they
make most delicious dessert.
HALF an hour for every half pound OF
pudding is a standard time for boiling. A
nealy potato grated while hot and beaten
up with milk adds to the hghtness OF pud-
dings, particularly where they are to De
eaten cold.
A VERY pretty handkerchief case Is made
of a square of pasteboard covered with cot
ton literally sprinkled with sachet powder.
Cover both sides with canary-colored satin; !;
then crochet top, IN plain open-work. OF
silk of the same color, and tie at the top
with narrow ribbon the same shade also.
SEA FoAM-which is very much liked:
Soak one large cupful Of tapioca four
hours, or over night, in quart bowl filled
with water; then put into farina kettle
and cook until clear, stirring occasionally.
When done add one cupful Of sugar and
small piece of butter; beat well; add the
beaten whites of three eggs and pour into
dish to cool Eat with cream.
ApRErrY cover for small table may be
made of q central square Of old gold satin
on WHICH 10 CuUtOn4CAO0 IA OtsAAHS Ss@S~~,
with eoId-colored filoseile, q good conven'
tional design. A few thicker bars and
roundels of satin stitch are added here and
there, just in sufficient numbers to slightly
accentuate the pattern. A deep hem Of
dark brown plush edged with ball fringe
finishes OF the edges Of the satin. A line Of
gold-colored feather-stitsh is carried along
the seams.
SALT for the table may be prevented from
getting lumpy by adopting the followins
measures: Always buy the best powderet
table salt and keep 1t in very dry place
Before using it for the table spread out th'
amount required on plate and set it in thu
oven to dry When filing the cellars pas
the salt through glass. funnel Do not pres
the salt down, but when the cellar is ful
shake it to level the contents loosely. 1t Il
necessary to empty the salt-cellars and re
peat the process every few days.
