heads from their berths and showed their
plates and basins at the steward to be filled
up. There they sat and ate. If the food had
the wrong effect, they stretched their heads
over the berth and looked at the door. Some
ate and washed in the same basin, for it was
too much trouble to carry whole dinner set.
The steward every morning swept out the
steerage, though the agents Of the steamship
lines say they are washed out, and sprinkled
the floor with sawdust, chloride of lime, car
bolic acid, etc.
In three days the steerage passengers were
all well, and when the dining bell runp every
one rushed to the tables The steward dealt
out from large buckets each mans share. and
to the credit OF the steerage they behaved

The food was in good condition and well
cooked, and every one got plenty We were
given for breakfast coffee, tea, bread, oat-
meal and butter; for dinner, vegetable soup,
boiled beef, potatoes, rice and stewed apples.
Sometimes this would be changed, and on
Sunday cherry pudding would be given for
dessert; for supper the same as for breakfast.
Who cannot live on this for seven daysa
Many steerage passenger fares better on
the boat than he does in bis own home. For
merly the steeraSe passenger was given his
days allowance, but he had to cook it: and
this is probably the reason why many bring
canned food with them, thinking they have
to do their own cooking Now, by getting
on the good side of the cooks and paving

After eating ali go on deck to wash their
tins. Tho rest of the day would be spent in
lounging around, sleeping On deck, playing
cards and telling yarns. At night those who
had any music in them would sing few
songs. They would be accompanied BY
broken winded accordion or by melancholy

songs and sports Of the sailors and cabin
boys; and many an evening was pleasantly
spent in this way. Some Of them, rather

The steerage passengers get over sea sick

passengers were sick the entire trip, but

terness-Hude Awakening.
Everywhere the gloomy truth of Schopen-
hauers summary of life is felt and seen, but
it remained for a Detroit small boy aged
years to work out the last analysis of the
mockery and the misery Of this existence
His fond mamma was gone down town.
The small boy sat On one of the steps to his
palatial avenue home in impatient waiting
for that fond mammals return The mo-
ments sped and she came not To the un-
tutored soul of that small boy seconds ex-
panded into ages-nay, aons of time. The
intervals between horse cars ION one Of
which the looked for mother was to GOMEZ
fulfilled the childs conception of unlimited
duration-by which phrase the old arithme-
ticians defined eternity Car after car
passed motherless, involving half score at
least of eternities, but at last, at last, oh,
JOY unspeakable! the eager, peering eyes
caught sight of the figure for which their
owner had stayed so long in agony Ecstasy
chased away the settled, dumb despair that
broOded over the soul of the waiting small
boy. His every dream of earthly bliss was
now to have immediate realization. With
one wild whoop and three mad leaps he was
at the curbstone. laughter and shouts Of
delight were his welcome to the conner.
W hat is this she holds in her hands
All, JOY again! 1t is the coveted baIl--the
ball for which that tender soul had yearned
unspeakably and which is now almost within
his grasp. Here indeed is the one earthly
glimpse of heaven which, so the legend tells
US, favored mortals sometimes catch. He
seizes it with feverish hand. The mothers
face glows and grows beautiful in sympathy
with her darling's happiest dream come true.

effort he dashes it to the ground and-bursts

tasted hfe's bitterness, had seen the murder
OF his rosiest hope. His ball, on which he
