Life on the Ocean Wave.
Editorial Correspondence

When the good ship Fulda of the North |
German Lloyd line sailed down New
York harbor Sunday, Feb. Z, 100 first
cabin passengers were lunching in the
grand saloon full of Joyous anticipations
of a foreign tour. Within two hours a
great change had come over the com
pany. At the 6 O'Clock dinner the same
evening was informed that about 20 OF
the passengers enjoyed table d'hote
dinner. The rest were unavoidably de-
tanned in their state.rooms, and the OK
periences OF even one OF that number tor
the next few hours would discount any
stories of a Kelley institute. The ship
rolled and pitched and tossed and ca
vorted and rose and sank, and then
reversed the process and did it all over
again backwards. For those who liked
this sort of a thing OF course this was
Just the sort of the thing they liked. For
the silent majority, "of which | was
whom" well, as Kipling says, that's
another story" It's like experiencing
religion; you can't describe it, but alter
you have once passed through it life on
the bounding deep is one grand holiday.
And so it came to pass on the third
day that the hurricane deck became filled
with merry people and each day after
that, for at least five days, new faces APP
peared on deck until before we reached
Gibraltar every one allowed that life was
worth living after all and that no better
place could be found than on an Atlantic
liner.
The Fuda carried 456 people divided
as follows: First class, 1872, Storage,
149 ships crew, 1856. The purser said
this was an unusually light load as they
sometimes took 1000 passengers. This
includes, however, large majority OF
steerage passengers, whom the purser
said were very much needed in the United
States to build our railways and work
in our factories. Seventeen of our num-
Der land at Gibraltar 60 at Naples and
the rest end the voyage with the ship at
Genoa.
With the boasttulness characteristic OF
Americans we think we lead the world
in everything. But on the high seas,
whatever may be the case on land, the
United States is not in it. Three or four
of the European nations are far ahead oil
us in their naval equipments and our
merchant marine is thing OF the past

In the Blue Mediterranean.

We were due in Gibraltar at 6 oclock
in the morning, but an hour before that
we were awakened by perfect iusiade
of electrical artillery that brought all on
deck to see the storm. We found our.
selves in the centre of heavy storm,
whose thunder was far louder than the
peal from any of the monstrous guns OF
the great rock only mile away. The
momentary light of the lightning gave
us our first glimpse of Gibraltar, and
within 80 minutes the clouds had lifted,
the sunrise gun was fired, and another
day had begun in the most impregnable
fortress in the world. Could any ap.
proach to this most historic spot have
been more realistic than was afforded the
early risers of the Fulda on the morning
of Feb. 16?

Household Hints.

Air chldren's night clothes thoroughly
and turn the day ones wrong side out so
they will air at night when taken Off
To determine if milk has been adulter-
ated stick bright steel knitting needle
into the liquid and. then draw it out, II
the milk clngs to the needle and drops
slowly from the end it is pure, but if the
liquid runs off quickly the milk has been
mixed with water.
Handkerchiefs that have been used by
a person with a bad cold or catarrh,
ought not to be put with the other wash
but be soaked in warm water containing
little kerosene oil. Add hot water to
this and wash through another suds
containing oil, which will all evaporate
if dried as they should be in the open air.
If baby's scalp is scurfy or dirty, APP
ply the yolk Of an egg, rub it in with the
fingers, then wash off, wipe, and brush
till clean.
A little bit of Stacked lime mixed with
handful of sea sand that is to be used
for scrubbing an implanted table top or
floor will readily remove stains and
grease and leave the wood fresh and
white.
To ascertain if there is chcory in your
coffee, place spoonful OF ground
coffee gently on the surface of glass OF
cold water The pure coffee will float Tor
some time, and scarcely color the water,
but chcory rapidly absorbs the water,
sinks to the bottom, and colors it deep
reddish brown tint as it falls.
Comparatively few people realize the
medicinal virtue of hot water. Could it
be bottled up and sold as patent medl-
cine, it would be considered a wonderful
cure.a ALL 1t is so simple and accessible to
all that, like many other good things, ii
is not appreciated as it should be. In
cases of dyspepsia cup of hot water
drank one-half hour before each meal is
most beneficial. In neuralgia hot water
applications are very soothing Wher
the action of the heart is weak, as with
old people, a cup of hot water slowly
slipped warns the body and invigorates
the whole system. In short; prominent
physician says, "In nearly all cases
where alcoholic stimulants are now
used, hot water would do as we'll anc
leave none OF the bad after effects of the
former"

The Situation in Southern Europe.

The trouble in Crete. apparently
supplies the conditions favorable for
a general European war more com
pletely than has any European
embroglio in decades. Not only is
the balance OF power threatened but
most of the 6rst.class powers also
have important interests directly at
stake. 1t is conceded that a war
between Greece and Turkey would
be the signal for the dissolution OF
the Ottoman empire and a division
of its territory among its neighbors
and other European countries and
each power is naturally anxious to
have finger in the Oriental pie.
England has long posed as the
protector OF the "Sick man OIL
Europe" and precedent as well as
present interests would lead her to
side with Turkey although many OF
her people sympathize with Greece
Russia has coveted Constantinopl(
for centuries, and the government at
St. Petersburg will undoubtedly keeI
one eye on this possible southern
port throughout any trouble that
may ensue. France, Germany and
Italy are interested either directly OF
as allies, and the degree Of their con
Germ is to be measuredby their extra
ordinary efforts to put their fleets it
readiness Tor hostilities.
Greece and Turkey are ready to lei
loose the dogs of war, and the mex
few days will undoubtedly decid,
whether Europe is to have continued
peace or far-reaching hostilities.-

Defend Our Forefathers.

1t was the warm-hearted, genial,
fne.souled clergyman, the Rev. &. +,
Hale, who said a year or two ago,
at a New England society's dinner,
that whatever shortcomings might
be charged to the account OF our
New England forefathers, in all
things they meant to do right"
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts,
the other day in the senate at Wash
ington. very properly defended this
Interpretation of early New England
Character. 1t may interest GALE
DOMAIN FEEDERS to reprint some
vigorous sentences of Senator Hoar,
who, by the by, is easEy one of the
three or four best debaters in the
United States senate.
Some structures of Senator Petit
grew of South Dakota were the
occasion OF Senator Hoar's glowing
words. He said: Mr.. President, |
have noticed that when anyone
wants to cover up or defend any
thing that is thoroughly sneaky he
tries to divert attention by housing
into the ancient history OF New Eng
land, now nearly 800 years old, and
getting up a discussion on that.
Undoubtedly there were at that day
some cruel, unjust and evil things
done by the early settlers of New
England, as brave, God-fearlng,
liberty-lovlng men as ever lived, who
by the common consent OF all man
kind brought over the torch OF
liberty to this country" Then fol-
lowed a recital OF two or three his
torical incidents including the affair
of the 10 persons hung for witchcratt,
and Senator Hoar continued, But
what have to claim for this great
people OF New England is that first
of all mankind they saw the evil and
folly and the wrong OF these things.
do not respect but only pity the
man who can find in that history
nothing but the material for foullng
the very nest in which he was born.
do not wonder after the speech OF
the senator from South Dakota that
he declined to expose himself by
answering the query OF the senator
from New Hampshire where he wa:
born. am glad that he did not tell
and am sure that Vermont vii
never tell"
