Dish for Travellers on the Sea.

The Prince of Monaco, who has for soma
years devoted himself to scientific explora-
ton, has pointed out that food supply of
immense value has hitherto been almost
entirely overlooked. He says that the Cope
poda, that swarm in enormous numbers in
the surface waters of the sea; offer nutritious
matter that would be very acceptable o
shipwrecked sailors, who otherwise might
starve. This view is now confirmed by the
letter of a correspondent who describes an
experience off the North Cape, Norway:
"The net, when hauled in, contained bout
three tablespoonfuls of large red COpedOd
(Calanus finmarchicus, L think), apparently
a pure gathering-what Haeckel would call
a monotonic plankton. We conveyed our
material at once to the galley, washed iG in
a fine colander, boiled it for few minutes
with butter, salt and pepper, poured It into
n dish, coverettit with a thin layer of melted
butter set it i'll ice to cool and stiffen, had it
this morning for breakfast on thin bread
and butter, and found it most excellent
The taste is less pronounced than that Of
shrimps, and has more the flavor of lobster
Our 20 minutes haul of the small net through
O mile or two of sea made, when cooked in
butter, a dishful which, was shared by eight
people,"

Allaire and his family, of which Kate
Barker is now amember. Charged with the
murder of Edward Manson, her husband fed
to South America where he died of yellow
fever. The reader needs but to be told that
the black nurse, whom little Walt had re-
membered was none other than the mula-
tress Nanny. The child had been picked up
by the owner of a fishing smack which was
crossing the bay at the time of the drowning
accident. A large sum of money from Lew
Barker had caused the fisherman to consent
to suppress this fact and to pass the child
off as his own. While it was yet question
whether Mrs. Allaire would recover her
reason, Nanny had made frequent visits to
the child at the fsherman's home. Upon
Barker's flight from San Diego, Molly's re-
covery of her reason and establishment of
the Walter Home, the man had carried the
child to that institution, claiming that as an
old sailor, he had the right to ask the Home
to care for his child.

The Camera and the Wheel

W. /. L. Adams gives some useful hints TO
wheelmen who are also deYOtees of the
camera. By carrying a camera, traveller
through an interesting country is enabled to
secure souvenirs that are invaluable. There
are number of cameras especially designed
for bicyclists. The pocket Photographic out
fit, consisting, as it does, of S4x4l- inch
camera, with double dry-plate holder,
hinged ground glass, and weighing only Il
ounces, is about the best This little outfit
contains an excellent lens. 1t may be car
ried in the pocket when not in use, and in
photographing it can be adjusted to the ham
dies OF the machine by an adjustable sup
port. 1t makes capital pictures. Larger in
strumentS are carried packed, attached to
the wheel by spring carrier, which is kind
of skeleton frame work ON springs mounted
in front of the handle bar. Twelve or Is
pounds may thus be carried without danger
of breakage or without putting extra weight
on the pedals. The larger cameras may also
be used on the handles of the machine a
steel support being furnished for holding the
wheel rigid while the exposure is being
made: or, if q tripod is carried, which some
wheelmen prefer, the camera is set up on its
legs and the photograph is made in the usual
manner. Most cyclists prefer, on the whole,
the hand camera. 1t is usually supplied with
a good instantaneous lens so tnat "snapr
pictures may be made at the right hand or
the left during the run in the country.

Morning Cold Baths.

Awriter in the Lancet states that several
patients have came to him complaining that
from time to time, especially in winter in
the early part of the day. they have expec-
torated mucus tinged with blood. In each
case there was no loss of strength or weight
and the chest sounds were healthy. The
men, however, were not of a vigorous type,
and they were all accustomed to have a cold
bath summer and winter. The assumption
arising from this fact is, that the sudden
application of intensely cold water to the
whole surface of the skin, raised the internal
blood pressure too abruptly, and hence the
ooZing of the blood through the walls of the
capillary vessels lying beneath the lining
membrane of the throat or larynX, or posi-
bly, the lungs. 1t was found that the un-
pleasant symptom disappeared as soon as
the temperature Of the icy cold water
was reasonably increased. The practice Of
taking cold bath is now so universal that
it is as well to know that although the
strong man may indulge in it with impunity,
and even with benefit, the weak man must
exercise some little discretion.

Cuspidor Carrier and Cleaner.

Anovel instrument has been designed for
the manipulation of cuspidors or similar re-
ceptaclcs without soiling of the hands or
dress of the operator. The invention con-
sfsts of a shaft made of suitable length, and
mounted to turn at its upper end in Frame
with handle for carrying. A semi-spher-
end of the shaft, and adapted to pass into
the receptacle to be cleaned. A bevel gear
wheel fixed on the handle imparts q rotary
motion to the shaft and revolves the brush.
and a series of rods extending downward
therefrom engage the inside of the recep-
tacIe at its neck, and thus enable the oper-
ator to carry it. When it is desired to clean
a cuspidor the operator takes hold of the de-
vice by the handle, pushes the brush into
position and turns the handle. The brush
Is then revolved inside the cuspidor and the
work Of cleaning is accomplished.

All who have suffered the annoyance Of
having their morning papers stolen from
the front door steps will welcome the relief
which is assured by new form of letter
box This box is attached to the inside OF
the outer or street door of the store or dwell
ing 1t is accessible from without at all
hours, access to it being gained by means Of
as ornamental as desired, and if necessary
may have the owners name engraved upon
it, and serve as door plate. The width Of
this combination door plate and letter slot
is sufficient to admit, beside letters, papers
and small packages OF merchandise. The
packages, by an ingenious arrangement, fall
behind and below the box into a receptacle
placed there for their accommodation, and
the letters fall directly into the box, which
a clever device guards so completely that
the improper abstraction of it's contents is
impossible. This object is attained by a
swinging gate, which, while easily pressed
in by the weight of the letters, in the car
rier;s hands will close tightly as soon as the
hand is withdrawn.

terially changed 81 nee the deckhands of the
Mayfower, with that painful deliberation
which marks the efforts of the deckhand who
does not swear, made fast the gallant but
poorly ventilated little craft
A soLILoQUY ON THE MAYFhowER.
In fancy now see the Mayfower tacking
to and fro, and moving toward Plymouth
Rock, where she had advertised 10 make
landing. AS look over the placid bay
with half closed eyes 1 seem to see, as the
boat gets nearer, the faces of those whose
children are so soon to be successful and
point back with pride to these parents who
stand upon the decks of the Mayfower
Let us look for a moment at these fathers
and mothers of the future aristocracy of
America. Here is one of them engaged in
holystoning the deck. His haggard face
shows how hard it has been for him to be a
sailor in rough weather and under adverse
circumstances without the use of plug to-
bacco or profanity. Here is another head of
great American family line. He is Just
on the off side. But what is this he has
with him? All, now see, as the boat gets
nearer am able to distinguish more clear
ly. 1t is a bright new jag. 1t is in honor
of the successful trip. Many others are
now seen to be on the deck. All of them
need complete change of scene and linen.
They could not any of them get chance
to-day to sleep in the coachman's annex on
the grounds of their swollen descendants,
nor on any other grounds perhaps. The
whole boat needs airing, and SO do the pas
sengers And yet they are the heads of
what will some day be the hyphenated but
bilious aristocracy of this timid and shrink
ing little republic.
SOME THINGS THE INDIANS LEARNED.
Clark's Island is where the Pilgrims spent
their first Sabbath, holding an all-day ser

country Some say that they had never
seen anybody burned at the stake till the
Pilgrims came, but that heard at Cape

THE CLEvRLANDs BY THE SEA.
Some Difference in Tastes, but They Manage
to Equalize the Pleasure.


Boston Globe.I
Mr.. Cleveland and his wife appear to have
come to most amicable arrangement for the
most enjoyable pursuit of their special
pleasures and pastimes. He takes drive
with her around to the Jefferson, not so
much because he is so fond of driving, for
he is not especially SO, but more to please
his sweet better half On the other hand,
she is not especially fond of boating, fishing
or the water. Dry land with plenty of
water close by, meets her pleasure rather
better
But Grover must go fishing. He usually
goes alone in his small craft, but when a
more substantial craft, like the steam yacht
Oneida, heaves in sight down the bay with
a wellknown and jolly crowd aboard, it's
different with her. Then Mrs. Cleveland
repays her husband for his kindness in en-
joying her pleasure drives with her. She be-
comes interested at once in the water, or
rather what is upon it. The fair young wife
is in healthy spirits. She likes company
and viva6ty to accompany ner recuperative
days in fair proportion, and the couple ap-
pear to take advantage of circumstances
most cleverly to unite the fancy of the one
and the other and of both together.

Beyond the Hill.
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPAToH.l

Beyond the hill lies lotos land,
Sweet summer skies, and golden sun.
Soft seas caress the shining strand
And bud and fruitage blend in one.
No carking cares there scar the soul,
There fly no fatal shafts of harm
Dire discord never mars the roll
Ofsymphonies divine to charm.
There darkness never conquers light
Nor fall fond yearning of the heart.
The soul, with wings wide plumed for flight
For this fair land would fain depart.
