Our ship goes softly on its way-higher and
higher, the earth seems bigger and bigger, as
the circular line it makes with the sky grows
larger and larger. With two and quarter
tons weight, still our bird mounts rapidly
upward-now two miles, now two and half
We sail far above the fields of yellow wheat
and dark green corn of Illinois. Rivers are
mere white threads, and lakes are patches of
silver set into carpet of many hues. The
forest trees are bushes that look as if a small
scythe might easily NOW them down. The
thin air and our rapid upward flight makes
my head roar, MS if with the sounds Of noisy
drums; / feel dizzy-like one about to faint
away.
Now we are 1900 feet high-nearly three
miles
Our ship has not yet come to the extreme
top Of her flight We are far above the
clouds Over the edges of the thick white
vapor we gaze at the earth spread out below
like map, with green and gray and brown
and yellow spots thereon. From the dis
comfort Of SO degrees of heat in the shade
when we left the earth we have come to the
chilly comfort of 37-a drop of nearly 60 de-
grees in less than an hour. This is quick
turn-one that never comes to man or beast
below. Yet up here, where we are sailing
softly, the air is SO dry that the cold affects
US much less than would the same tempera-
ture on the earth's surface.-St Nicholas.

IN A KocHA RESTAURANT.
An Eating House where Hebrew Er

An Eating House Where Hebrew Epi-
cures Congregate-Some Cheap Places.
Kocha is Hebrew word signifying
''clean," and kocha restaurant is one where
the Mosaic law regarding the preparation Of
food is observed to the letter. There are sew
eral of these places in New York, all Of them
well patronized, for a strictly orthodox Jew
seldom eats elsewhere away from his own
table.
The Delmonico of the Israelites is Lustig.
His restaurant is on Mercer streSt, in the
heart of the dry goods district, and his chef
is German jew. Here at midday the
wealthy Hebrews of the vicinity congregate
for luncheon. For forty cents an admirable
meal is served in the German style of cook
ing. 1t consists Of several courses, barley
or chicken soup, boiled beef or Hamburger
steak, with fried potatoes and saueTkraut,
veal outlet, roast duck or broiled chicken,
with salad, and compete of prunes and
raisins or some delicate pastry. A dish of
the choicest fruit and jar of celery stands
always on the table. A small cup of black
coffee completes the meal. No butter is
served with the bread. No milk or milk
product is allowed in the restaurant, the
Mosaic law expressly forbidding tho eating
of milk and meat in any form at the same
time. For this reason the jew drinks his
coffee clear or abstains from it altogether.
At MONDAY Lustig's is always crowded
with Hebrews of u distinctively German
type. \ spirit of jollity pervades the place,
and for time all thought of business is cast
aside. This is especially true on feast days,
when the menu is considerably ampliied.
On such occasions poultry of all kinds is
served; turkeys, ducks, chickens, geese, snipe,
quail, whatever fowl is in season can he had
fresh, and cooked deliciously with herbs and
spices. On fast days Lustig's afNd All the
strictly kocha restaurants are closed.
On the great cast side Of the city. in Essex,
Norfolk, Ludlow and adjoining streets, there
are many called kocha restaurants. They
vice is filthy and the food scarcely fit to eat.
Any one passing through the Jewish quarter
may see them. They are mostly small rooms
in the cellars or upon the ground floors of
tenements, furnished with a few wooden
tables and chairs, with a bill of fare, printed
in Hebrew characters hanging outside the
door. In the windows tho shrunken car
cases of geese are allowed to hang until
blackened with exposure.
A substantial meal, such as it is, can be
purchased in any of these places for from
eight to fifteen cents. A favorite dish here
is a fish stew, strongly favored with garlic
and redolent with odor. A strictly orthodox
Hebrew would turn in horror from such res
taurants, for the underlying principle of the
Mosaic law concerning food is cleanliness. -

THE TROUBLESOME TWINS.

There once were twins, two toddling things
Who looked like one another,
And Just TO tell which ono was which
Was sometimes quite a bother,
For when you felt most sure OF one,
He likely was the other.
Whether Ted was Tod, or Tod was Ted,
Sometimes caused apprehension,
And led TO blunders and mistakes
Too numerous 10 mention,
Yet none were smart enough to find
A positive prevention.
II Ted, while playing In the barn,
Met with slight disaster,
They'd be sure In their alarm,
To clap on Tod the plaster;
They'd give Ted oil when Tod was sick,
And Tod got well no faster.
One of them died--they ne'er knew which,
And then came CONSERVATION;
How could they put upon the stone
A bald prevaricatloni
They simply carved on It IT'D"
And closed the alteration.

Hot Fomentatfons.

We all know the value Of hot applications,
but the mode of making and the applying
differ in almost every house. An exchange
gives the following; Wiring several thick
nesses of flannel out of cold water, so it will
not drip; place between two folds of paper,
and lay it upon a hot register or top of a
stove. Steam will generate and permeate
the whole cloth, and thus the required tenn
perature will be obtained. In this way there
is no running long distances to kitchen, no
burning Of the hands, no uncomfortable
moisture in the bed and no ruffied tempers.
A hot fermentation is beneficial in almost
every acute disease accompanied by severe
pain, and is often Of great service in chronic
innammations. 1t is more efectual and
more accessible than any other therapeutic
agent. By quick, prompt and thorough
use severe attacks of illness are often pre-
vented Herald OF Health.
