SCENERY OF GUIANA.
1t Is More Enchanting Than the Imsgina-
ton Can Picture.

Whatever discomforts the traveller may
have to undergo in journeying through
Guiana, he is compensated for them by
the scenery, which is more enchanting
than the loftiest flights of the imagination
can picture. AS soon as you leave the low
swamps at the great mouth of the Orinoco
the land rises gradually toward the Ina
taca range, the peaks of which are clearly
outlined against the clear tropic sky. Still
farther into the interior, following the
windings of the Rio Cuyuni the green
banks of which are bright with scarlet
passion flowers, you see moro mountain
peaks and innumerable cascades and wa
terfalls, tumbling and roaring over rocks
that raise their black heads above the sur
face of the water. On all sides countless
parasites intWine themselves in the most
intricate and fantastic fashion around the
branches of the lofty trees.
1t was my good fortune to reach one OF
the lOftiest of the Imataca peaks just at
sunset, the hour that most impresses all
travellers. To the south and east, as far as
the eye could reach, the scene was one of
indescribable beauty and grandeur Be
low the great Cuyuni, unknown to the
world for so many generations, but now
with u name in history, wound in and out
of the valley like II serpent of u thousand
colOrs. The soft rays of the afternoon sun,
glimmering through the mist of waters,
fell upon the river in showers of rubies,
sapphires and diamonds. Soon darkness
closed upon the valley, for in the tropics
the twilight is as brief as it is enhancing,
and on all sides the tiny campfires of the
Indians twinkled like myriads of frehics,
Now and then the stiffness was broken by
the night cry of some wild animal in the
distant jungle W. Nephew King in Cen.

The human body is constantly undergo
ing tissue change. Wornout particles are
cast aside ard eliminated from the system,
while the new are ever being formed from
the inception of life to its close
Water has the power of increasing these
tissue changes, which multiply the waste
products, but at the same time they are re.
newed by its agency, giving rise to in.
creased appetite, which in turn provides
fresh nutriment. Persons but little accus
toned to drinking water are liable to have
the waste products formed faster than they
are removed. Any obstruction to the free
working Of natural laws at once produces
disease, which, if once firmly seated, re-
quires both time and money to cure.
People accustomed to rise in the morn
ing weak and languid win find the cause
in the imperfect secretion of wastes, which
many times may be remedied by drinking
a full tumbler of water before retiring
This very materially assists in the process
during the night and leaves the TISSUES
fresh and strong, ready for the active work
of the day
Hot water is one Of our best remedial
agents
A hot bath ON going to bed, even in the
hot nights of summer is a better releyel
of insomnia than many drugs.
In1amed parts will subside under the
continual poulticing Of real hot water,
Very hot water, as we all know, is a
prompt checker Of bleeding, and, besides,
If it is clean, as it should be, it aids il
sterilizing our wound.
A delicate stomach will nearly always
gratefully receive glass or more of hot
water New York Ledger.

SOME PECULIAR PIES.
A Dwarf Was Served Up In One For
Charles I.

One of the most curious pies ever pre-
pared was that which the Duke of Buck
ineham placed before Charles l and his
queen when they visited him at Burlcigh-
on-thc-IIin On that occasion Jeffrey
Hudson, tho dwarf, who was SO enragcd
by q gentleman whom he had CHALLENGED
to a duel appearing on the field armed with
a syringe, was served up in u cold pie
Pies wcrc always a strong point of
mayoral banquets, and the recipe of n city
of London pic has been handed down to
postcrity from the sixteenth century. Tho
recipe runs as follows:
"Talle marrow bones, IS sparrows,
pound potatoes, one-quarter pound erin
goes, 2 ounce lettuce stalks, 40 chestnuts,
ono-half pound dates a peck oysters, one
quarter pound preserved citron, arti-
cholcs, 12 eggs, 2 sliced lemons, handful
of picked barberrics, one-quartcr ounce
whole pepper, onc-half ounce sliced nut
meg, One-half ounce whole cinnamon, one
quarter ounce whole Glove half ounce
mace and one-quarter pound currants.
Liquor, whcn it is baked, with white wine,
butter and sugar
1t looks very much as if the catalogue
of ingredicnts of this wonderful pie had
only been concluded through the inventor
forgetting any other articles of diet that
he could put in.
Rich as the last mentioned pie sounds,
it was not so rich as the simple bran pie
that an eccentric old gentleman placed be-
fore his tenants at the annual luncheon he
gave them, for, besides the homely bran,
golden coins of the realm were included in
the connection, which made it peculiarly
savory.

A SCHOOL FOR FlREMEN.
All of the Men Are Carefully Trained For
Their Exacting Duties.

Tho school was organized in February,
1888, primarily for the purpose of instruct
ing the men of the different companies in
the use of the scaling ladder, " which had
then just been introduced in the depart
ment 1t gradually became enlarged in its
scope, however, until, with the completion
of the new fire headquarters building in
January 1887, it became "a general school
of instruction-not only for the new men
admitted on trial (called probationary
firemen"), but for the men already in serv-
ice-in the use of all life saving apparatus
and in the many appliances nsed for fight
ing a fire.
Before they had this new building in
East Sixty seventh street the companies
were taught the use of the scaling ladders
and life net at an old sugar warehouse
near the foot of West One Hundred and
Fifty-eighth street and the North river,
and here the classes numbered nearly 60
men at time. But this building was in
an out of the way place and lacked the
facilities necessary for instructing the men
in raising largo extension ladders and in
the use of the many new tools then being
added to the department.
When the new fire headquarters build
ing was being completed Il yard designed
for this purpose was built mt the back of
that building This yard is about 100 feet
square, being well cemcntcd and drained,
so that water can he used in the lessons
Here company drills were introduced,
companies being summoned unexpectedly
from different parts of the city, just as
they would be called to an actual fire.
When they arrived the engines We're
started and the men put through all the
Cf mi wit
The hose was DRAGGED up the staircase to
the top of the building, water was started
or shut off and large quantities We're used
in the different movements executed in the
yard or from the windows ut the rear
The men were thus made acquainted with
every appliance carried upon the appa-
ratus and the system was perfected in every
detail
Companies received ratings on the books
kept by the instructor according to the
proficiency they showed at the drills, and
some idea of what effect these drills had in
improving the service may be gathered
from the fact that, when they were started,
of the 80 or more companies in the depart
ment there were about 81 companies in the
/ first grade 10 in the second and 40 in the
third or lowest grade. After three years
of instruction there were only four or five
| in the last grade, about Is in the second
and fully 60 received the rating of first
/ grade companies.
1t is here in this yard, where these com
pany drills played so important part in
bringing the New York department to its
present point of perfection, that the recruit
receives his first instruction in the use of
the scaling ladder the life line and the life
net-Charles Thaxter Hin in st. Nicho-
las.
