Apples Arc Good NIghtcaps.

The apple is such common fruit
that very few persons are familiar with
its remarkably efficacious medicinal
properties, states The Bulletin Of Phar
macy. Everybody ought to know that
the very best thing he can do Is to eat
apples just before retiring for the night.
Persons uninitiated in the mysteries of
the fruit are liable to throw up their
hands in horror at the visions Of dys-
pepsia which such suggestion may
summon up, but no harm can come even
to delicate system by the eating OF
ripe and juicy apples just before going
to bed.
The apple is excellent brain food, be-
cause it has more phosphoric acid in
easily digested shape than other fruits
1t excites the action of the liver. pro
notes sound and healthy sleep and
thoroughly disinfccts the mouth. This
is not all. The apple helps the kidney
secretions and prevents calculus growths,
while it obviates indigestion and is ono
of the best known preyentives Of disease
of the throat. Everybody should be ia
miliar with such knowledge.

Sleep. sweet spring. In the storms and gloom
OF wintry skies;
Wake not to scatter thy lap of blooms.
Dark BIO thine eyesi
Sleep entombed in the drifted lea,
On frozen earth,
Nor stir with the old sweet mystery
OF life at birth,
Sleep in tho seeds and scaly hoods
OF buds fast sealed;
Sleep for aye in the naked woods;
Die unrevoalod.
Die in the flrstlings of the flock
And shivering herds:
Blight. upon tree and moor and rock,
Tho loves of birds
Sleep with the spawning frog and fish
In crystal cave;
Loose not, at natures ardent wish,
The fettered wave.
Sleep in the unborn Pascal moon
And veil her horn;
Freeze in the bells their holy tune
For Easter morn
Stroud the sun as no rises fast
To zenith blind;
Darken his day with garment vast
OF cloud and wind.
Sleep, sweet spring, in the purple gloom
OF tho dawning year,
Nor hither come with thy balm and bloom.
Thy smile and tear.
Sleepl She sleeps who with burning brow
Longed sore for thee.
Possess thy soul In her patience now,
And, where she sleeps in the grave, sleep thou
Eternally.

Sailors vlotlmi.ea at nuono. Ayres.

1t seems that Mt many ports abroad
great injury is suffered by British ship
ping through the crews of vessels being
enticed away from their ships, necessi-
tating the obtaining OF other and in
many cases incompetent hands. In
Buenos Ayres this practice is very preva-
lent, SO much so that the attention Of
the British government has been drawn
to 1t.
The supplying of new crews at Buenos
Ayres is left i'll the hands of certain
boarding house keepers, and it invari-
ably happens that no hands can be OBJ
tanned at all while the vessels arc lying
in dock. II they could, the men would
be shipped before the British consul,
and then matters would be put right
Tho mode of procedure is to let the
steamer leave the dock, and while in
the river the sailors and firemen-the
new men-are brought off in small
boat, apparently in n state of drunken
ness. The master has no choice but to
take the men, and the shipping agent or
boarding house keeper gets fee of
about 10 shillings for each man.
In the case of one steamer cited it is
alleged that the men of the original
crew were bribed to leave the ship, and
when, she was going out the captain
found that all the new hands had been
dragged before they came on board and
were unable to do any work. For ID
hours the steamer had to come to an
anchor, and when the men regained
their senses they went to the captain
and told him their signatures to their
advance notes had been obtained from
them fraudulently. The captain, being
anxious to help the men, applied to the
British consul, who for some reason was
unable to take up the case. Tho system
carried on is one not only of expense TO
the shipowner, but also of danger to
tho ship.-London Chronicle.

AMERICAS DEAD SEA.

Down in Southern Washington, on
the great Columbian plateau, at a
altitude of 1000 feet above the level
of the Pacific, is the Dead Sea of
America. The local geographers call
it Medical Lake because there is be-
lief that its waters are highly charged
with curative properties. 1t is about
one mile long and three fourths of Il
mile wide, with an average depth of
sixty feet. 1t has no inlet or outlet
and its level appears to remain the
same. There must be salt springs i'll
the bottom that feed it about as fast
as the waters are exhausted by
evaporation, which is rapid in that
country, where the air is so dry and
rare.
The waters are very heavy and
very salt, its density and composition
being almost exactly as those of the
Dead Sea in Palestine. No vegetable
life exists within mile or more of its
shores, which are dry, hard clay. The
only animal life is little turtle or
terrapin they call the boat bug, and
the walking fish, which is a curious
creature about eight inches long, with
four fins that look like legs and are
used for the same purpose. This
walking fish is never seen elsewhere,
it is said.

give a list of unpatented and uncopy
righted remarks to be used on such
occasions:

Isn't he just too sweet for any,

The tall ships come and the tall ships go
Across the purple bay;
But there's never Il snip So fair and fine,
Never ship so brave MS mine,
As mine that sailed away.
Bright in the light, and gray in the shade,
And white when the waves grow dun,
The gtIllS gu by with their great wings spread
But the sails OF my ship were gold and red,
-.--- And they shUne like the setting sun.
They make good cheer in the tavern here,
The sailors home from sea;
But the crew of my ship they feast with Kings
In emerald crowns and opal rings,
And coats of the cramoisie.
Fine is the freight thcir ships bring in,
But mine bears finer far:
Pearls and roses, and links OF gold,
Myrr h and amber, and rich bales rolled,
As bright as the morning star.
Twas May Day morn that my ship set sail,
With the dew on her tigilrchead;
Her bows Were wrcathcd with the hawthorn
bloom,
AS she stole through the dusk of the dawning
gloom.
Like Il ghost, or bird new-wcd.
The May days dawn and the May days die,
And the hour draws near, know;
The day when my ship shall come for me
To carry me back t. mine own cOuntrir,
East of the sun by the OutnOst sea-,
In the heart of the long ago.
