A CATsUP that will last for years,
called camp catsup, is personally recon-
mended: Add to a pint or quart OF
strong ale or porter and a pint of white
wine half a dozen very small onions,
peeled and minced, half an ounce of
mace, the same of nutmeg broken into
pieces, and two large roots of ginger,
sliced. Put all together, over q moder-
ate fire, into a porcelain lined kettle,
and boil slowly until one third Of the
liquor is wasted. Transfer 1t to small
bottles the next day. putting a portion
of the seasoning in the bottom OF each
and filling them to the top with the Ii
guild. Complete with a te%aspoonful OF
finest salad oil at the top. Cork the
bottles tightly and seal them. In a dry
place this catsup will keep well for
years. A currant preparation is ex-
tremeIy appetizing: Stew together four
pounds of ripe currants and a pound
and a half Of sugar, a te%aspoonful of
salt, a tablespoonful Of ground CHINA
mon, a teaspoonful OF ground cloves,
one of pepper, and a pint Of cider vim
egar. After the first two ingredients
are stewed until thick add the others
and bottle for a near future use.

New drill regulations, similar to the
French, are being introduced. On
parade the officers look on, merely ILL
~tervenIng when the application of the
stick seems necessary. The battalion
Is divided into four companies, whose
chiefs hold the rank of major; never
the less, Il major general is not unfrc-
quently content to aSSume command of
one of them. The officers make good
the deficiency Of their pay by defraud-
ing their men. The soldier is often
olced to till his own land as a labcrer
for the profit of his officer.
The officers are represented as wholly
uneducated, and dependent for promo
for whom they are ready to perform
the most mental offices. They under
go an examination prior to appoint
ment; which, however, Chiefly consists
in fencing with one sword or twol,
wrestling, etc. They spend their leis-
IRE on the divan, dicing, chattering OF
playing the guitar. Most OF them are
addicted to smoking opium, although
the practice is forbidden. Drunken
ness is also common. The non-com-
missioned officers are trained in a school
at Kirin; but they are not better paid
than the privates, their sole privilege
being to adorn their hats with a brass
button; but the entire pack of menials
belonging to a generals establishment
assume the distinction as Il matter OF
course, wherefore it cannot be held in
high estimation. The ammunition
consumed by the troops in Manchuria
is brought by sea from Tien-tsin, but
it is proposed to erect powder mills III

Mr.. Lincoln was quite apt to prepare him
self in advance for these little events, and
when he did be generally followed his manu-
script carefully. Mr.. Hit was present when
the representatives Of the national conven-
ton, headed by George Ashmun, called on
Mr.. Lincoln to inform him of his nomination.
Mr.. Lincoln did not quite like to see man
reporting him, especially when he was only
making speech Of few minutes, and when,
after little general talk, Mr.. Ashmun
stepped forward and began to address Mr.
Lincoln, Mr.. Hit got behind one Of the spec
tators, and proceeded to take Mr.. Lincolns
response verbatim. After the affair was over
Mr.. Lincoln came up to Mr. Hit and asked:
''Did you hear all that / said.n every
word" was the response. swell, " said Mr..
Lincoln, ~ was afraid you would not be able
to hear, so wrote what was going To say
beforehand and he handed Mr.. Hit the
speech in writing. Mr.. Hit and Henry J.

Sometimes the waste water of the kitchen
and that Of the closets is all emptied out
into the sewers. Sometimes 1t is caught in
a barrel shaped vessel painted which re-
tains the solid matter and let's the water
pass. These receptacles, called tinettes, are
removed at stated intervals by persons who
use the contents for fertilizing fields In the
suburbs. A great majority Of the houses
still have cesspools or tinettes in the cellars,
which are pumped out or removed by the
main entrance at stated intervals. So far
only about 1000 houses have their closets
directly connected with the sewers though
the number is increasing rapidly and all viii
eventually be SO arranged. 1t will then be
more difficult to keep the sewers clean, but
the nettoyage will follow lis normal develop
ment, and the neatness Of the underground
avenues will still rival that Of the streets

Without the hall there is a garden large;
IT'S near the palace gates and under charge.
-Four acres covers all this space Of ground
And on both sides extend hedge around
And there tall trees pears and pomegranates grow:
Both fgs so sweet and olives all 10 blow
The lack of fruit no one eer needs to fear.
It never fails, but lasts throughout the year
And eyer-blowing zephyrs gently play
Among the foliage, day by day;
And making some bud forth in richest bloom,
They ripen others sending forth their sweet per
fume. .
Pear follows pear, as each grows old and dies
Apple after apple. and grapes also arise
And figs bloom forth beneath the azure skies
And there fruitful vineyards planted round
And near 1t is a sunny piece OF ground;
A sunny spot so broad and smooth and high,
Thrt here the ripened grapes spread to dry.
And some are picking grapes, and some do tread
And further on, a little space ahead,
Are grapes unripe, whose bloom Is only shed
And some are turning to darker red.
Here, too, are beds Of flowers Of every hue,
so we'll arranged thro an extensive view
So blooming thro the whole extent Of space
That everywhere you can their beauty trace.
Two bubbling springs are In this garden found
The one extends thro all the spacious ground
The other meath the threshold Of the hall
Belonging TO this palace, grand and tall
Sends forth Its waters here the people draw
As was their wont, but now unwritten Law.

a1en whe Get sIde rracked.

Perhaps the most numerous class of men
who get side tracked are those who start In
life in an occupation for which they have no
natural aptitude. There are thousands of
farmer boys who never should remain on the
farm--the loud protestations of the agricult-
ural press TO the contrary Notwithstanding.
There are, doubtless, men who make a life
business of stirring the soil when they
ought to be stirring the senate; and, on the
contrary, perhaps, there are men who are
trying to stir the senate who ought to be
stirring the soil. Good business men are
frequently spoiled to make poor preachers;
and there are many large and heavy lawyers
who would make ideal blacksmiths; and
there are some slender and unsuccessful
blacksmiths with the keen logical brain and
the shrewd masterful mind of tho lawyer.
Such men are side tracked for life, unless
there is some great event crosses their track,
such as crossed the track of Grant the team
ster, or Cromwell the country squire. But
no doubt there are many Grants who always
team, and many Cromwells who never leave
the farm. There are many men who start
out in life, like hunters, on the wrong trail
They never bring down their game because
their game has gone in another direction.
They are like fishermen who bob for cod in
trout brook, 'or start a-whaling on an in
land pond.
There are some men who are side tracked
for life at their very birth. They are born
into q mesh Of circumstances from which
there is no extrication. OF course it is easy
enough to say that a man, like water, will
always find his level; but its hard for water
to rise plumb with its fountain head when
confined in an underground pipe. It would
have been difficult for Shakespeare to assert
his claim to Immortality IL he had been born
in Patagonia, and we would never have heard
of Plato IL he had first seen the light in
Scythia. To say nothing Of the hereditary
influences that mold the unborn man, the
environment of the young humans infancy
usually shapes and directs his destiny, so irrev-
ocably that only men of the strongest will
and the toughest mental and physical fiber
can ever counteract the impetus that is given
them in childhood. Blade.
