Hardships of African TrnyeJ.

"Ncw Conditions In Central Africa" is
the title of a paper in The Century, made
up from the journals Of the late X. j.
Glave, who crossed Africa to investigate
the slave trade i'm the interests of that
magazine. At one place OH Lake Tan
Yanyika Glavc writes: MY men are tired,
footsore and hungry, and some sick, and 1
myself have a very sore heel. A days rest
is desirable for everybody. My sick men
are suffering from sore heads and MANNED
feet. They got their stomachs full of
mtama -four and fish today. and have been
standing on their heads and dancing.
There is no better remedy for African all
Inents than full belly. African travellers
nearly always have crows feet sprawling
from the outside corners of the eyes, which
should be credited to the constant blinking
caused by the suns rays, and by the long
grass dropping over trails in the wet sea.

In the Crimea, during the winter, Gen
eral Canrobert was in the habit Of going
about among the men of his command, in
cognito, to see what they were about, and
to learn their wants and encourage the
soldiers il they needed encouragement.
One morning. on one Of these tours, he
came upon young cOnscript who had
stripped himself to the waist and was bath
ing his body with handfuls of snow.
''That's an odd sort of soap you're
using" exclaimed the general
"Oh, it's good enough" said the soldier.
"You see I'm young, and moro than that,
I'm Lorrainer from Nancy, and a fellow
provincial of General Drouot, who shaved
himself with snow on the march from
Moscow, you know, with the mercury 30
degrees below freezing The old fellows
in my company, you see. bother me, and
make fun of me because / haven't any
beard, and since 1 can't shave out of doors,
like Drouot, l have to do this to show
those old fellows that I'm no more afraid
of the cold than am of the enemy"
"WeI," said Canrobert, "what if L
should give you another way of getting
even with those old fellowsg"
"Why, shouldn't mind, answered the
young soldier.
"I'll make you corporal said the
general
The soldier laughed. 81 guess that

SMART YANKEE SHIPPERS.


Swell Shore Togs of American Ship on
Gers Of Fifty Years Ago.
"The officers of American ships about 20
years ago, said the old skipper, "were, as
a class, the best dressed men in the coun-
try. Their apparel, when ashore, was
without foppery as it was understood in
those days. OF course they had foreign
countries to draw upon for their figured
silk waistcoats and their embroidered shirt
fronts, which might be thought a little ex-
treme In these unromantic times of steam
and SCOT and grease. The frock coat in
those days was cut with a short skirt and
was buttoned at the waist. The waistcoats
were cut low, exposing an expanse of i'm
maculate shirt bosom, and the trousers
We're cut large at the bottom and set neat
ly over the instep.
81 can see now one of the old time Yam
kee sailors, a first or second mate of a
China clipper or an Atlantic packet, walk
ing up the shilling side of Broadway,
say between Canal and Blocker streets,
on pleasant afternoon. You could dis
Germ no difference between his shore togs
and the dress of the regular Broadway
swell, either in cut or quality, and yet
every one knew the mariner, because he
had the air of tho traveller and perhaps
suggestion in his gait Of the man of the
sea. His trousers were light gray or law
ender, his coat dark blue and his waist
coat maroon or wine colored silk, heavily
embroidered. He sometimes affected a
light rattan or whalebone cane, and also
wore the tall silk beaver hat fashionable
at that period. His cravat was always sky
blue and was tied in the old fashioned
slipknot, now termed the yacht knot.
The soft white bat was in favor with our
sailor swells In fact, they introduced it
into this country long before the Kossuth'
became common.
1.-The first mates of our ships lived
ashore when in Liverpool, as no fires were
allowed aboard ships when they were In
dock there. They lived well, and seNarate
from the seamen of other countries. Nhey
were welcome everywhere, and in no lxrt
of the globe more than in Liverpool
Scores Of American ships were loading and
unloading in the docks all the year round
The men were clannish and strolled about
the city in squads. What old shellback
doesn't remember Williamson square, that
classic ground of taprooms! Here tho
Yankee tars got together around the tables,
passed the can and sang in chorus until
the rafters rang.
"The old time Yankee sailor loved his
profession, but he was too gentecl to talk
shop, or ship, unless in the company of
none but his shipmates. When ne was
ashore for holiday, nothing in his speech
or his appearance, except perhaps his
bronzed face and sinewy hands, indicated
that no was toiler of the sea- New

Sleep.

The cOmpostIre Of mind which 10 is de-
sirable to secure as n harbinger of sleep is
promoted by allowing time, before retir-
ing to rest, for the subsistence of all en-
forced mental activity. There should be at
least an hours interval between work, no
matter what il may be, and sleep, for If
work be pushed up to the last moment,
sleep will be driven away, or will be, in it's
first and most precious stages, broken and
unrefreshing. TO turn resolutely from
work at u fixed hour and plunge for lit
tie time into u novel or II newspaper, n
game or music, will often make all the
difference between a bad and good
nights rest. Position when i'm bed is n
very important factor i'm the production of
sleep. Englishmen travelling on the conti-
nent are sometimes puzzled and distressed
by insomnia, until they discover that their
bodies, propped by enormous, square pill
lows, arc at u much greater angle to the
plane of the bed than that in which they
arc accustomed to repose at home.
The substitution of n small pillow for
the large one soon disposes OF their wake
fulness. And SO with children. The posi-
ton in which they are placed when put to
bed should be carefully attended to, as
nightly variations in this may at least
postpone the advent Of sleep, which is so
essential to the welfare of the growing
brains. Very little things serve sometimes
to induce sleep. Thus, the mere turning
of pillow and the application Of its cold
surface to the head and face will, on occa-
sion, prove the turning point in a struggle
with slecplcssness. York Ledger.

THE TOMATO IN ITALY.
It Is Popular With All Glasses In King
Humberts Realm.

Humbert's Realm.
In every home and cottage in Italy the
preserving of tomatoes is carried on. Ter
races, balconies and even the fiat roofs of
the houses are half covered with plates
containing the deep red substance. After
gathering, the tomatoes intended for pre-
serving are spread out for some hours in
the sun till the skin has somewhat shrunk.
They are then passed through a sieve SO
that they may be freed from both seeds and
skins. AS they contain large proportion
of water, the substance which has been
passed through the sieve must be hung in
bags, from which the water exudes, and
soon a pool of dirty looking water Is form
ed beneath each bag. Strange to say, 1t is
in no way tinged with red.
The mixture which remains in the bags
has the consistency of very thick paste.
1t is then salted, the proportion being a
little less than one ounce of salt TO pound
of preserve. The process now requires that
it shall be spread on fiat plates, exposed to
the sun and stirred from time to time
with a wooden spoon, so that the upper
part may not form a crust, while under
meath it remains soft. 1t is n picturesque
sight when the women are to be seen fit
ting about on the roofs and terraces, at
tending to the deep red preserve, their col
ored handkerohiefs flung on their heads to
screen them from the rays of the burning
sun when it Is at its flercest In tho even
ing the contents of the various plates are
taken in and stirred up together, for If
moistoned by the night dew the whole
would be spoiled. After being exposed to
the sun for seven or eight days, the same
process being repeated each day, the pre-
serve is finished and placed in jars for win
ter use. .r.i.t. ..
Though it Is used by all classes of per
sons, it is. more necessary to the poor than
to the rich, for the latter can make use Of
the fresh tomatoes preserved in tins. To-
matoes may be timed whole, as we know
from those usually imported into England
from America. But in 1t. the fruit is
usually passed through sieve, the pulp
being then placed In tins, which are i'm
mediately soldered down and then put in
boiling water for five minutes. The cost
Of small tin is half franc, SO it is, as a
rule, beyond the means of the oor.-Cham-

Crowninshield, Chief of the Bureau of Navi-
CATION. He the scheme proposed
by Lieut.. Story of the Navy, and Endorsed by As
sistant Secretary Roosevelt, for the establish
ment of a naval patrol on the Yukon River to
maintain law and order. All communication in
Alaska Is by water, he says, and he asks that
Congress make provision for three small posts
at points along the river, to be in c. mmand of
naval officers and garrisoned by bluejackets
and marines. and for a light-draught stern-wheel
steamer to patrol between the posts. The steamer
Is also to be under a nava. officer. He stimates
that the posts could be erected and equipped for
$4,000 and that the steamer could be built or
purchased for the same amount.
Capt. Crowninshicld says that there is an i'm
perative necessity for more naval officers on &C.
count of the increase in tho number of vessels.
On the battleships the number OF line officers is
only about two-thirds tho number actually, re-
quired. md five battleships and several smaller
vessels are approaching completion. He pro.
poses that the list of Captains be increased from
tenants. junior grade. from Is to 1875. He also
wants legislation enacted authorizing the Presi-
dent to make a sufficient number Of appoint
ments of naval cadets at large and limiting tho
course at Annapolis to four years instead of six
years.
