When one begins to realize that he is only

one of the great Atlantic liners. the matter
of what is required to provide for the needs
of the great steamship itself and those of
small CITY full of people for from week to
a possible two or three weeks voyage, in the
event of accident, is really worth an in
quiry. How many people ever thought of
the stupendous quantities of, and expendi-
ture for, the two items of fresh water and
coal, required for one voyage, and then of
their aggregate for whole years service.
An entire interesting article might be writ,
ten on the men and craft engaged
in the ocean supply of fresh water in
New York harhor alone. There are
owned in New York City, Jersey City
and Brooklyn ten large steam vessels con-
stantly and solely employed in this service.
Each of these carries from 5000 to
$4,000 gallons of water. Besides, there is q
| fleet of from % to 80 single-masted sailing
| craft in the same traffic. The water is
purchased from the three cities at an average
price of so cents per 100 cubic feet (about
700 gallons> and is sold to sailing yes-
sells at one cent per gallon, and to steam
ships for whatever can be got-many of the
captains pocketlng one-half of the total
per gallon is usually secured. Outgoing

10000 to $1,000 gallons. Many of the ocean

coal for each trip. Averaging twenty-six
crossings per year, the annual power re-
quired by one steamship is produced by the
burning of from 1900 to 81 600 tons of
coal.

The Cabbage.

The Greeks held the cabbage in such

from the father of the gods. The Saxons
named February "Sprout kale' In honor
Of this vegetable, SO that it is appropriate
to make it our February vegetable.
Chemically, according to schrader. cab
bage contains starch, vegetable aloums en-?
resin, gum extract and some salts. Sir
Humphrey Davy estimates that its nutri-
tive matter is about 70 in 1000 parts, while
Boussingault calculates that 1446 parts of
white cabbage are equivalent in nutritive
powers to 1911 of wheat. II must be we'll

A Wolnans Dream.

On Warren avenue, in Chicago, lives q
good old lady at the home of her only son.
a business man in fairly comfortable cir
cums+ances This is the story the OLD
lady tells:
at was twenty years ago. We lived,
my husband and | with the children, on
little farm near the Wabash river. My
husband went away with the wheat one
April, hauling all he had to sell in the big
wagon. He was to be back Saturday
night, and sat up for him. The children
had gone to bed, but had little supper
all ready for him, and sat before the fire
knitting. 1t was away past midnight. and
was so drowsy faally went to sleep in
the rocking chair. The night was pretty
chilly, and seemed to feel the cold.
presently dreamed l was about my
work, shivering, when l heard my hus-
band throw an armful of wood in the box
behind the stove, and thought, Now
can have fire. turned to speak to him.
but he was gone, and while wondered
how he could have put down the wood and
gotten away so soon, l heard another
sound like wood falling in box, though
no one was near it. Then walked up
The fire was out and the clock showed 1t
was two hours past midnight. | was a
good deal worried, but went to bed. Next
morning they brought my husbands body
home. He had been struck and killed by
the night express while crossing the track
on his way home, aud his watch showed
that the awful accident had happened at
lust 2 o'clock. "-Chtcdgo Herald.

The Original Package.

The original package bill, as proposed
by Senator Wilson, passed the Senate, but
was referred to committe in the House.
A substitute has also been offered, and re-
ferred to the judiciary committe. The
minority report on this substitute argues ::
THAT to surrender the exercise of the
power of Congress to regulate commerce
to the Legislatures is to defeat the main
purpose of it's creation. This is the vice
of the Senate bill. 1t is the ten fold vice
of the substitute" Thus it will be seen
that our wise national law makers are by
no means agreed, and are getting into an
interminable middle,
The result will be that they will come
within few votes of the number neces-
sary to pass an act for the relief of prohi-
bition States at this session, or make some
attempt, so that temperance members can
show to their constituents that if they can
only be returned this time they will be
sure to pass the measure at the next ses-
sion. And yet this action will be judici-
ously safe, so that the liquor members can
say to their constituents, it is all right.
We will hear politicians in undertones,
and in most impressive manner urging
temperance men to vote for the old party
candidates just thisa time, for this is the
most important election in the history of
the country, and what hope is there of
electing the Prohibition candidate2
The ways of the politician are peculiar
and past finding out. But good will come
out of 1t all. Men who have been holding
on to the old parties, hoping for something
better, will become worn out, loosen their
hold and drop into our ranks. It may be
as many think, the beginning of the end
We advise our political opponents to be on
the outlook for breakers. The original
package decision may yet be the rock upon
which one of the old parties will go to
pieces.

AGRICULTURAL.

Air in the soil is plant food, and it aids
chemically in utilizing all plant food in
reach of the roots.
Timothy and clover will penetrate even
blue clay subsoil from two to four feet,
in porous subsoils much deeper.
Use petroleum on the bottoms of fence
posts after they have been thoroughly
seasoned. It will make them last much
longer.
Cultivated plants that send roots down
deep into the subso1 cannot do their best
when the subsoil is soaked in water months
at time.
Indian corn roots go down seven feet.
Prof. johnson says corn roots have oeen
known to penetrate fifteen feet in light
sandy soil.
Air is indispensable in the soil to field
and garden crops, for most of the weight
of these crops is made out of air which
penetrates the soil.
The leaves of plants take carbon from
the atmosphere, and to some extent am
monia, but most plant food comes to the
hungry roots through the soil.
When the soil is full of water after
heavy rains, the roots of plants suffer for
want OF air, all except water plants that
grow in marshes and wet places.
The roots of rye, beans and peas pene-
trate the subsoil four feet, and wheat
April constitute u bout 40 per cent of the
whole plant.
When ashes are Of no benefit to sol
the inference is that the soil contains
plenty of potash, and ashes applied give
"a ArI, ~fn;r, foch
lime and acid phosphate, which most soils
need.
Use petroleum to make emulsions for
fruit trees and gardens, mixed with hot
soap suds, one-half pound of soap to q
gallon of water. Churn it until it looks
like cream, and mix gallon of this with
nine gallons of water.
Mixing the ingredients of soils and fer
tilizers in the right proportions is highly
important. The body of all soils shoul Id
have proper proportions of sand, clay and
humus. Then, if potash, lime, acid phos'
in proper proportions, the soil should be
productive, for it has the elements of 8
rich soil
Apply coal tar to seasoned fence posts,
about two feet of the bottom of each post
If put on when the posts are green, it will
hasten decay. Make mound of pure sand
or of sand and gravel, several barrels.
Make an opening in the top and pour in
half barrel of coal tar. Mix sand and
tar, using shovels and hoes. until it may
be shoveled like wet sand Put this on the
ground floor of a IN house or smoke
house, and pack it { own with the head of
big maui or spade and smooth it off.
When dry and wsll tro1den it will make
an everlasting floor, and rats cannot gnaw
through it, nor hen lice or other vermin
live on or under it.

Little Mary,s Secret.

A gentleman, who has little three year
old daughter named Mary, was sitting in
his library after dinner when the little one
climbed on his knee.
Papa, does 90 love me?'' she inquired
very sweetly.
Eyes, pet, very much indeed" was the
hearty response.
stDoes 90 love me whole houseful?"
Being assured of this, little Mary became
very demonstrative, and her father felt
that her face and arms were dripping
wet.
Hallool'' he exclaimed; "been in mis-
chief. Nary"
"Papa, asked Mary insinuatingly, 'tcan
90 keep secret 2"
Her father assured her that he could,
whereupon she whispered to him:

What Childhood Needs.

At the age of three and four, children
want guiding in their play more than at
any other time during childhood, because
they are then changing their little habits,
leaving baby hood behind and taking up
childish ways, which will remain with
them many years. To make such little
ones happy and keep them amused is not
SO difficult matter, but much patience is
required and not little ingenuity. 1t Is
well al ways to aim at teaching them from
their infancy to amuse themselves. BY
that means the mother is laying a good
foundation in the child's character on
which it's great happiness will be built
Give the busy fingers something to do !;
you may call it play or work. The latter
pleases them most, and by encouraging
them 10 the belief that they are really
helping mother you will make them hap
py. Give them some strips of soft, woolly
stuff and tell them You want them all
picked to threads to fill cushion or q
muff~ Cut some paper into strips and coax
their chubby little fingers to make spills
for lighting candles. etc. Give them a
piece of calico and needle into which
you have tied a pretty colored cotton
thread and suggest that they make dolls
frock. Although quite unable to make
two even stitches the idea will fill a little
girls heart with pleasure. Let a slate
and pencil be used every day-there /
endless anu ;ement in them. Draw some
thing no matter how crude or funny, and
get the little one to try and do the same.
Many merry peal of laughter will glad
den mothers heart at the queer figures
which will appear on the slate. Save all
pieces of paper with pictures on them
advertising sheets and such things and let
them have an old blunt pair of scissors
and try their hands at cutting out the pic
lures. 1t is not an easy, but very inter
esting thing to do, and if encouraged to
persevere they will, later on, becomesquite
expert, and might then be allowed to paste
them in book or upon screen-that
would make them very proud. Don't
mind If they make litter of their amuse-
ments-but always teach them to clear up
their bits when they have finished. They
will do it willingly, with little coaxing,
and some day will in consequence, be more
careful. Then teach them some sim pie
songs, with marching steps and hand clap
ping introduced, for exercise on wet days
Get book of tiny tales for children and
read one at least every day aloud to them
You will be repaid by the enjoyment they
will get from it. Give them odd buttons,
beads, or even dried beans will do, and
teach them to count and play at having
sweet shops with them. Do not buy many
toys, but what they have allow them to
play with at any reasonable time, and If
they have no other companions, mother
must sometimes play too, just to show
them how to use their dolls and balls, or
whatever toys they may have, for it is not
natural for children to play nicely witho ut
help or guidance; they often require to be
started right.
