Overhauling the Block Island.

The steamer Block Island, plying
 in the New England Navigation Co.'S
 service between Norwich, New Lon don, Watch Hill and Block Island, is on the ways at Noank, undergoing reconstruction. Such extensive changes and alterations have been planned that she will be practically a new vessel when the shipwrights finish with her. She will be entire ly overhauled from bow to stern and her hull divided into six water-tight compartments with strong collision bulkhead forward and two others, absolutely water-tight, forward and aft of the machinery. The kitchen will be sheathe6 in iron and will form part of the engine enclosure. The installation of a complete wreck ing apparatus will be one of the pre- cautionary measures for safeguard ing the vessel and her passengers. The new Block Island will have the modern conveniences and comforts of the larger and more pretentious Sound steamers. A large, airy and finely decorated dining room will be placed on the main deck instead of below, as heretofore. A lobby and retiring room will be added to the ladies cabin. The vessel will be as spick and span throughout as a new ly built craft when she resumes her service on the New London and Block Island route this summer.

Dr Seaman. who has had consid- erable experience in wars, contends that the medical corps of any army ought to have supervisory authority over the rations of the soldiers. over the system of transportation and, pos itively. over the sanitary arrange ments and location of camps. Such authority, he contends not only would reduce materially the ravages of dis ease. but would save to the govern ment hundreds of thousands of dol lars in pensions and thousands of lives of valuable Americans He says The real object of modern medical prac- tice ls to prevent, rather than to cure disease. to take such measures as will protect the soldiers in camp from the attacks of disease. It Is awful to contemplate that 2,649 picked men of America died of disease during the spanish-American war. right in the camps located in their native land IL is a hard fact that the Japanese, in their war with Russia. treated their sick prisoners more scientifically and to greater advantage than We treated our own soldiers who enlisted in our war with spain

THE PENALTY OF OvERWORK.

Work has been mans lot since the creation, but day of toll should not have it's penalty of pain. Why is 1t, then, you ask. that backache so often follows? It is because the modern tendency is to overwork, to tear Gown faster than nature can rebuild. An unnatural strain Is thrown upon the vital organs, and more especially upon the kidneys, which have the work of Altering the blood free of waste and poison.
 The heavy tax of overvork-the strain upon the back that is so com mon to many trades and occupations. is too great. The kidneys begin to fail in their work. and there is a double danger to health. The poison ous matter collects in the system. and the kidneys themselves begin to break down.
 Pain in the back is only a warning of trouble in the kidneys. An infiam- nation has set in. and a disordered condition of the urine soon becomes apparent

AN ANCIENT BANQUET.
Menu of a Christmas Dinner Served
 In FeudaI Times.

Menu of . Christmas Dinner Served
 In FeudaI Times.
 "A Christmas dinner in feudal times," said an antiquary, twas served at Il o'clock in the morning. It began with plum pudding, or plum porridge. as they called it in their old fashioned way; a suet pudding stuffed with raj sins, entrants. prunes, mace, cloves and ginger. ...-
 Next came boar's head on a silver platter decorated with holly. This dish was heralded with flourish of trum- pets and the lighting of the great Yule log. The head had lemon in its mouth. A hot mustard sauce went with 1t.
 "The third course was peacock in full plumage. Its beak was gilded, and 1t was stuffed with spices and sweet herbs. \ -.. .....
 Geese and capons followed drench- ed with amber grease, and then came frumenty, for which I'll give you the recipe"
 The old man read here from his note- book:
 'Frumenty.-Take clean wheat and brey it in mortar till the hulls be all gone off and seethe it till 1t burst, and take it up and let it cool, and take clean fresh broth and sweet milk of almonds or sweet milk of kine and temper it all, and take the yolks of eggs. Boil it little and wet 1t down and mess it forth with fat venison.'
 "There were other fixings," the an- tiquary ended. such as hacken saul sage, brawn pudding and souse. cheese, apples and nuts. The drinks were beer, malvoisie and sherris sack"
