A naval officer once told the writer
that pheasant shooting in China was
very fair and would be really good If
there were not so many obstacles about
to enjoying it comfortably. He said that
the people were so numerous that if you
let gun go off almost anywhere in Chi
ma you were pretty sure to hit China

deal with, small present as damages

OF mind, and indeed this naval authority
did say that they would sometimes try
to get in the shooters way on purpose to
get these damages. -Macmillan's Maga-

In 1874 Lieutenant Brunei of Dieppe
introduced his pocket life saving lines, of
which already upward of S,S4O are being
used in France, where they now rescue
annually some 2S5 lives. Nevertheless
these admirable inventions are almost
unknown in urempire. Brunel's small
pocket line consists Of wooden float
round which some 30 feet Of stout cord
Is wound. The other end of the cord
terminates in an efficient grapnel armed
with four small hooks, The whole ap

GOOD SWIMMERS.

A Danish schooner was wrecked
off Yarmouth in the early part of
October. The crew of the vessel
were saved by swimming distance
of eight miles to the ightship Cap
tain Cook. The sea was running
mountains high at the time. The
Sydney Daily Telegraph comments
as follows:
Eight miles, with the sea running
mountains high One must believe
in the "hardy Norseman" after feat
like that. That the whole crew of a
Danish schooner should accomplish
it without the loss of one life
seems almost Incredible. The Incl
dent we all remember of the young
Australian lady who kept herself
atloat after the wreck of the Quetta
for more than 30 hours occurs to us
as worthy parallel, but her case
was exceptional. Here every man
was saved" | suppose not many
English vessels even could boast an
entire crew of expert swimmers
cert ainly few capable of such endur-
ance. In our southern latitudes an
event of the kind would seem abnor-
NAL. But as regards young Austria
lians generally, living as they do on
such stormy coast, and finding in
| boating favorite amusement, it is
culpable not to teach everyone, both
boys and girls, to swim at an early
age. Many a youthful life would
have been saved in the past if this
necessary accomplishment had been
universal.

The Advertiser reports that the
Keeley gold cure for alcoholism has
been introduced, and with success,
at the Queens Hospital. Many cases
have been reported from the United
States where the ''cllre" has done
great injury to the patients. One
opinion seen is that the patient is
practically cured when he deter
mines to take such "cure." The
reason for this opinion is that drink
ing is a habit which people in
dulge in because they want to, and
when they don't want to any longer
there is not much trouble about "A

view of the reports from the States
adverse to it, that the Keeley cure
will not be adopted here without

Cooking VS.. Digestion.

1t is the custom of men to cook
food and then eat it. Some one asks,
why is it cooked? and the answer
given is, to make it tender. This
tenderness means that the food has
been made softer or, as we say, less
tough. 1t is curious to know that
if this tenderness be sufficiently pro-
longed, there will be no work what
ever for digestion to perform. In
other words cooking and digestion
are both on the same lines, and the
food is cooked that the digestion
may not be burdened. The cooking
is not always an advantage, for some
times, as when one is doing hard
work, the food must not be too
easily digested. The presence of
food in the stomach is very sustain
ing, and on this account it is that
we hear the want expressed for some
thing substantial. The Irishman
likes a stone in his potato, that is,
he prefers the bulb little under
done, for then it remains in his
stomach a longer time. 1t is a mis-
take to suppose that digcstible
food is necessarily the best, and to
be preferred. When one hears the
endless chatter about digestible
foods, he almost wonders whether
the people are losing their stomachs
or their brains. - The BRITISH Monu-
tnctirer.
