inmates are accustomed.
The dormitories are cut up into tiny
cabins, as on shipboard, and in place Of
the familiar iron cots these veterans
of the sea turn in at night in hunks and
stow their clothes and other belongings
precisely as they would on board ship
Day and night the hours and half hours
are struck on a ships bell in the main

the annual yield amounts to about
100000 pounds. Horseradish reasires
a great deal of attention from the ev:-

must be removed from the stems and
the side roots rubbed off with a soft
cloth, after which the stems are buried
again. The plants spring up in March
