Shipshape on Land.

One of the quaintest charitable insti-
tutions in the world is the Royal Alfred
Home For Aged Seamen, which houses
1CO English mariners In the outskirts
Of London. 1t is supported entirely by
voluntary contribution. The main idea
has been to make the place as home
like as possible, and to this end an eff
fort has been made to preserve in large
measure the environment to which the
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 ships bell in the main
hall, and even in the mess room the
atmosphere of the sea Is retained as an
aid to appetite. The house governor Is
himself an old sea captain Of forty
years experience In commanding men,
and his rule Is entirely along nautical
lines.

The Land of Horseradish.

1t almost makes the eyes water to
read Of the village Of Baiersdorf, in
Bavaria, which is celebrated for pro-
ducing the finest horseradish in Eu-
rope. On an area of moist ground, in
the valley Of the river Regnitz, cover
ing 1885 acres, that titillating plant is
practically the only thing raised, and
the annual yield amounts to about
100000 pounds. Horseradish requires
great deal Of attention from the cul-
tivator, for In midsummer the soil
