MANAURNSF INVESTIGATION.

INQUIRY Into the Condition Of the
vesssl-Facts smothered By the
war Department In Accordance
with a New Rule.
WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE re-
port OF the board of officers which met
Ia san FranolseO to ascertain the facts
connected with the cruise Of the steam
ship Manauense has been received at
the war department and Is now under
examination. The Manauense carried
half OF the Thlrty-hrst infantry from
San Francisco to Manila. The troops
had a fnghtful experience, having to
bail day and night to save their lives,
and arrived In Manila in an exhausted
condition LIeut-col. Webb Hayes,
commanding the detachment Of troops
on the vessel, and nearly all the officers
insisted that the ship was unseaworthY
and under-manned. It Is doubtful II
the facts will ever be known officially
unless Congress calls for the informa-
tion. for the war department has adopt
ed a new rule. and now holds that In
yestigations such as this shall not be
made known to the public further than
is exhibited in any action that may be
taken in n corrective manner by the

Doing Penance For Sins.

In former times persons guilty OF
grievous and notorious offenses were
required to make open confession and
further. to make satisfaction for the
scandal given by their bad example by
doing penance publicly In a white sheet
in their parish church. The sheet was
used TO show clearly to every one
which was the offender.
The last time that public penance
was done in an English church was
on Sunday evening. July 80. 1889, when
a man named Hartree in the church OF
All Saints. East Cleyedon. made an
open confession of immortality and
promised to perform the penance thus
imposed on him by the vicar.
No white sheet was used on this &C.
casion. The last case In which one
was used appears to have been one In
ST. Bridget's church. Chester. In 1851.
But on that occasion the penance was
not public. the church door being
locked.
In the previous year. however. pub
lie penance in white sheet was done
In country church In Essex. and n
similar thing occurred in Ditton church
near Cambridge in lS49.-Stray Stories.

Medicinal Qualities.

There Is not a single garden vege-
table that has not a medicinal quality
aside from Its food value. The first
thing to come In the spring Is aspara-
gus, valuable In all kidney complaints
and a most delicious dish. Then We
have rhubarb. which counteracts the
effect Of the usual heavy meat diet Of
winter and clears the system of some
of the acids that produce dyspepsia,
rheumatism and other painful mala-
dies. Radlshes are good for stomach
troubles, dandellon greens make good
blood purifier, horse radsh Is n tonic
and makes the appetite good. Onions
cure colds and bring sweet sleep, and
celery and lettuce soothe the irritated
nerves. Carrots sre good for scrofulous
tendencies, cucumbers are wholesome
and cooling. Notwithstanding the bad
reputation they have, and parsley Is
known as palliative in cases OF drop
sy. The whole list of vegetables might
be named and a positive medicinal
value given to each of them.
