When boy is received on board he

He is required to take bath, have his
hair neatly trimmed by the ships
barber, and be vaccinated. The
master-at-arms points out to him his
hammock-hook and number, showing
him how to lash and carry his ham
mock, and where to take it when
ordered up for stowage in the MEETINGS.
From the start the boy is taught to
keep his clothes in good order, and in
thorough repair; cleanliness of person
and clothing is strictly enforced: and
much stress is laid upon it at all in
spections. Every article of clothing is
distinctly marked with the owners
name Immediately after Its issue
Prompt and cheerful obedience to
orders and respectful bearing toward
those in authority are insisted upon.
The boys are taught to regard the
training ship as home, and every
effort is made to render it as comfort
able and attractive as possible. Sing
ing, dancing and other sports are
allowed on all proper occasions, and
every boy is required to attend service
on Sunday morning, the service being
conducted by the chaplain on the main
| deck.
AS soon as boy is enlisted he is
furnished with all necessary articles OF
clothing, and of small stores, such as
needles, thread, buttons, scissors, jack

QUEER CUSTOMS in EATING.
The Maldlvlans Dine Alone-The SaIIarians
Eat In n Tree.

The Maldlvlans Dine Alone-The saisArians
Eat In Tree.
The Maldivian Islanders dine alone,
retiring TO the most secret parts of their
huts for the purpose of eating their
food. This custom probably arose
among them in an early period of their
history for fear, perhaps, that another
with equally as sharp an appetite aNd
more bodily strength would deprive the
feaster of his meal
The coasters of the Fiji Islands will
not eat until they can sit fiat upon the
ground directly over a triangle made OF
three small fishbones, and then they
only handle tic food with the left hand.
The inhabitants of the interior of the
same islands will not partake of food
while cloud is in sight. especially if
the cloud lies in the west, for fear that
the Great Air Whale" whose below
ing (thunderl is often heard in thzt
country, will pounce upon and utterly
annihilate them for such irreverence.
Unlike the Maldivians, the natives of
the Philippines are sociable to an ex-
| traordinary degree. Whenever one of
them finds himself without companion
to partake of his meal he runs till he
meets with one; and am assured that
however keen his own appetite may be
he will not venture to satisfy it without
d companion.
The natives OF Sakaria never partake
! of food while on the ground, bat sling
the meal into a woven grass bag and
mount to the thick foliage at the top OF
some high tree, where the meal is eaten
in solitary silence.
The Otahirteans, although great
lovers of society and very gentle in
their manners, feed separately from
each other, each particular member OF
the family taking his or her basket and
turning it'll back to ali others in the

"Whcn you lie down at night" said
the physician, that is the way nature
takes to give your heart rest. You may
know nothing about it, but the organ is
resting to that extent; and if you reckon
the rate, it involves Il good deal of rest,
because, in lying down, the heart is do
ing ten strokes less u minute.
Multiply that by sixty, and it is six
hundred; multiply it by eight hours
and, within fraction, there is differ
ence of five thousand strokes; and as the
heart is throwing six ounces of blood at
every stroke, it makes a difference of
thirty thousand ounces of life during
the night When l lie down at night
without any alcohol, that is the rest my
heart gets.
but when take wine or grog, do
not allow that rest, for the influence of
alcohol is to increase the number of
strokes. Instead of getting repose, the
man who uses alcohol puts on some
thing like fifteen thousand extra
strokes, and he rises quite unfit for the
next days work, until he has taken a
little more of that rudy bumper,
