to be reefed or furled, as the weighty can
vas slapped the mast to the staggering and
helpless rolls of the brig upon the oil smooth
swell.
Before two hours had passed the gloom
had so deepened that the like Of it should
have held impossible in the daytime. Il
was of the darkness that hovers betwixt twi-
light and night. The mastheads were
scarcely to be seen; the sailors moved in
shadows, blending easily with the obscure
details. until you could not tell man from
coil of rope hanging by belay-
ing pin. There was a deathlike hush
upon the ocean that put q new ele-
ment OF horror into this blind, dark,
eclipsed morning. Every sound, the noise
of straining timbers, the beat of such
pinions of canvas as were left unfurled,
the sudden, fierce tension of the jerked
shrouds smote and startled the hearing as
though a pistol were discharged close to
ones head. A coil of brown vapor of as
sooty a complexion as the smoke that over
hangs manufacturing town lay poised
upon the near horizon. so narrowing the
diameter of the circle of swelling, sulky,
| lead colored waters, in the heart of which
the brig wallowed, that one was sensible of
an oppression in looking at 1t, as though it
were some hell born, imprisoning girdle,
pestiierous and sutfocatlng, through which
our little vessel would never be able to
thrust her way.
THE STORM BREAKS.
Presently some immense drops of rain fell
and went below. Five minutes later there
happened a dazzling glare of lightning, fol-
lowed by near and terribly loud crash OF
thunder. The electric brand appeared to
liberate the rain. and down it came in
whole ocean. in the midst of which the light
ming began afresh, attended by an incessant
raging of thunder. Peal followed peal like
the broadsides of a line-of-battle ship, and
the lightning was terrific and appalling to
me, who had never before witnessed a trop-
ical storm, and whose notions of lightning
did not go beyond the spectacles which the
| English skies provide US with in that waY.

which, unless the apartment was ventliated
up to the highest degree of perfection, would
form a clammy deposit on the furniture and
walls, and by putrefying, become organic
poisons.
A lack of heat in winter decreases the
vitality of sick people. They must be kept
warm. And in summer, sick people are
more sensitive to the heat than well people,
becoming restless, losing sleep, and suffer-
ing from enervation. So that the same nos
pitaa wards, used alike for the same disease
in winter and summer, have to be suitable
for the different seasons.
LARGE AND AIRY WARDS.
These demands have been most admirably
kept in the ventlating arrangements OF the
Homeopathic Hospital. The wards are
large and have high ceilings. They are
welllighted, thus leaving many windows to
be utilized for air as well as light. Besides
the upper and lower sashes in these win
dows, there Is in each frame small panel
of blue-glass at the top which was put there
purposely for ventilafing purposes. 1t is
so operated as to shield the patients on the
beds underneath from both draughts and
light.
On the inside of each window-sill is cut q
long, narrow hole in which is inserted a
sheet-iron vent. Up through this vent
comes hot air in winter, and cold air in
summer. It is connected with pipes which
lead up from the cellar. In the cellar these
pipes converge in an immense double
chamber, which is probably 80 feet long, 80
wide, and Is feet high. All doors leading
into it are kept tightly closed.
A VAST AIR CHAMBER.
For instance, when Superintendent Slack
took me into this underground apartment
he quickly pulled the door shut after us.
"We try to keep the place as nearly air.
tight as possible" he explained. "Fresh
air is sent down to this chamber by ducts
from an opening in the buildings walls 40
feet high. Then it enters these pipes and is
distributed in the various wards through
the vents which you saw. If all windows

PANIC IN A CHURCH.
Fifteen Hundred Children and Their
Mothers
Make a Wild Rush for Safety From Tiro
"A Large Number Injured.

In st. Stanislaus Roman Catholic
northwestern portion of Chicago, Friday
morning, the pastor, Rev. Father Bar
zynsky, was conducting an o'clock
service for children, and the church was
filed with the little ones While the
service was in progress the altar trap
pings caught fire from one Of the cam
dies, and panic ensued. There were
about fifteen hundred children, accom-
panied by their mothers, in the church
at the time. The women and children
became panic-stricken, and rushed pell-
NELL to the exits. Those in front were
pressed by those behind them, and lost
their footing on the stone steps in front
of the building, where they were
trampled on by the fleeing multi
tude. The arrival of the fire de-
partment added to the stampede,
and in few minutes ten thousand peo-
pie had gathered in their neighborhood.
The fire was quickly extinguished, and
the police, with much difficulty, rescued
the wounded children from the excited
multitude. None of the little ones
were dead, but a large number were in
jured, a few seriously. Joseph Jazalz,
twelve years old, has fractured skull,
and will probably die; Stansilaus
Kaminska, injured internally; Frank
Dreweicki, severe cut on his head;
Stansilaus Furgot, nine years old,
injured internally. Martin Keoski,
ten years old; Frank Sick, ten years;
Leon Skowkowski, eleven years, were
sent to the hospital, and four other
children were taken to their homes. The
scene after the panic was over was ter
rible. The stone steps at the entrance
were covered with blood. The carpets
on theDfloor Of the church and many Of
the pews were torn up, and the church
had the appearance as II some bloody
riot had taken place there.

NEW ENGLAND FOOD.
What the Yankees Ate in tho Early Colo-
Mai Times.

What the Yankees Ate in the Early Colo.
Mai Times.
In the raising of various supplies for
the table, as we'll as in the modes Of
cooking them, the first colonist learned
much from the aborigines. When they
left England little progress had been
made in implements of agriculture, and
the Pilgrims would have been unable to
purchase them If they had been invent
ed. The company who were obliged to
dispense with butter for their dry bread
on the long voyage because Of poverty,
and whose living members must have
been packed very closely in the small
vessel that brought them, landed with
few goods and chattels of any kind. They
were thrown upon the resources which
therefore learned at once the arts and
used the implements employed by tho
native Indians.
They had hoes made Of wood. Turtle
she'll ingeniously affixed to sticks and
sharp stones held by withes acted con-
spicuous part in the cultivation Of the
ground. The Indian corn and the method
Of planting it, four or Ave grains in
hill, with rows three or four feet apart,
with beans running up the stalk, and
pumpkin vines In the intervening spaces,
were all borrowed, as we are told, from
tho natives.
The very names Of many Of the dishes
Of food and the methods of cooking
them were learned in these
simplest of schools OF art There was
one. kind Of corn bread, hominy,
samp succotash, and supawn, or hasty
pudding (woSds borrowed from the
aboriginal tongues), and used douhtless
for ages before white men ever saw the
tassels of the maize field. The hoe-cal<e,
or Johnny-cake, baked on a hot fat
stone before the Are, the hulling Of tho
corn with lye, the roasting ears Of corn.
and the popping OF corn, were all learned
from the children Of the forest. So,
also, the drying Of pumpkins in strips,
hanging in the cabin in festoons. Will
liam Penn, it is said, found the savsges
eating beans as white people do now in
Boston. The starving condition Of the
frst colonists obliged them to eat the
food with which the Indians supplied
their wants. s.---Christian Advocate. .r,

Pastors Power to Raise the Dead.
Primus JONES' colored, was killed Sum
day morning at Sumter, 8. c. A pro-
tracted meeting was being held. The
testimony showed that in a perfect
frenzy of fanaticism Jones was killed by
Rev. A. H. Durant, the negro pastor. and
one Richard Campbell, prominent
member Of the church, because the de-
ceased had expressed doubts about the
supernatural power Of Durant to kill and
restore to life, and that 1t was test
case, but the experiment failed. A
large number Of the congregation be-
lieved that he possessed supernatural
powers until his failure in this case.

The Indians of Canada.

Canada appears to have practically
solved the Indian question. Instead
Of that Disappearance before the ad-

theorists find II convenient TO represent
as inevitable, they increase in number
in the eastern provinces, while even in
the far northwest they show tendency
to adopt the methods Of civilization. A
striking token Of progress is the fact
that 1000 more children are At this time
In the Indian schools In Manitoba and
the. Territories than were receiving in
structions in 1881. and the number 10
stated to be increasing. The effect OF
these increasing contact with civilizing
