the arrest of the officers, and the captain
was fined $4OO, the first mate $3.50, aud
the second $3.50. Aud yet, on tie return

before taking a berth as first mate. This
was on the brig Good Intent, bound
from Plymouth to the Canary Islands.
We left port one man short simply TO
savemoney for the owners. Our bread was
full of wecvils and worms, and the pork so
tainted that an open barrel Of it scented
the whole brig. We had not the boats
required by law, and wo had no medi.
cines aboard-not even dose OF salts.
Here were five derelictions which made
the master amenable to law. Within a
week the two first officers got so intoNi-
Gated that they could not take an obser-
walton at noon, and for three days our
position was unknown 10 them. The
captain, while drunk, upset lamp and
set the cabin on fire, and his chief officer
while In the same condition, fell over
board and narrowly escaped drowning.
We forfeited our insurance no less than
three times, and for the last 300 miles
of our voyage we ran by sights, which
took myself and worked out. There

finally made port not a sailor could get

used; and vet the Captain and his mates
were permitted to escape without even u
complaint. -Nec York Sun.

brushing ChiIdron,s Hair.

Frequent and thorough brushing of
tho hair is extremely desirable. 1t not
only improves temporarily the appear
ance of child, but tends at the same
time to keep the scalp in healthy
condition. IL stimula es the growth OF
the hair and prevents it from becoming
dry and harsh. Care should be exercised
in selecting a thick, soft brush, and duo
attention paid to the manner in which 1t
Is used. There is a right way and n
wrong way OF doing many things and
in brushing the hair the latter is too
frequently employed. The mother or
nurse who assumes this important duty
must take plenty OF time and give her
undivided attention 10 it. II tho opera
ton be performed hastily or Carclessly
the child soon learns to dread IL; while
on the other hand, il it is always asso.
ciated with few p casant words, short
fairy ta'e or something of the kind, the
operation will give pleasure to both Of
the parties concerned, and the beneficial
results will soon become apparent. A
comb is an implement Of doubtful utility
in the nursery, and certainly one which
is capable OF doing as much harm as
good. For parting the hair coarse
comb with blunt, rounded teeth may be
used bat for dealing with the inevita.
bic saar.s which so oltel appear in the
best regulated locks. brush supple.
mentel by gentle fingers, should only be
used. Under no consideration should a
comb be allowed to come in contact with
the delicate sc lip Of child. and the use
of iine-tOothed instrument of torture,
such rs was formerly in vogue, ought in
this enlightened age 10 be rolegatcd
from the nursery to chamber of hor-
rors---BdJyho0d.
