TOUGH IMIAj OF FAKE I

MESSES THAT ARE SERVED ON BOARD A "MEAN SHIP." Qarrr Camea Ihr Sailor. Ci to (h luiialalallr Food - Una bonder. 11 r tbr Wind Suip, Topgallant Te jibiI Cow Jiyprr. tkiue ?hirs are known as "mean USps" by eailoiH on account of th. food that is ist'rvt'd to the forfaxtie. Tbey are chiefly dc-j water saiiiu;; fcliljis and tramp Ktvaun-rH. Of eoiirsv what a sailor hall Lave to cat is provided for ly law, but the law sumcti ours j:' ts badly mixed i on Line water. Tlic strange dishes served to sailors ou "mean sbis" are uo stranger than the names the sailors give them. One of the commonest of "mean hhii" lishts ia "by the wind soup." This delicacy is coLuiosed of well polished mutton bones, stale meat triuimiugs. a liandful of potato parings and scraps from the captaiu'it table. The mixture s boiled vigorously for two hours, at the end of which time the result is hot water of a light brown color with floating islands of grease on Its surface. A little hardtack is added, and there you Lare your "by the wind soup." When a "mean ship" gets well out to sea, one of the first dishes to appear is "dog chowder." It is a sort of resurrection pudding, made of scraps that the cook does not dare to serve up as they are, but which he shreds finely or pounds in a mortar until all semblance of their original state is lost. The mass Is well mixed with grease and served Lot. Grease plays an important part In all the "mean ship" dishes. Another stand aru item on the bill of fare of these ships is "topgallant tea." It is served to the men In the dog watches, and the recipe for making It is this: Three times a week weak tea. made from fresh tea leaves, is served. The leaves are saved and mixed with the tea leaves from the captain's table. Brown Ugar or molasses is. added, and from the mixture is made a decoction which Is served four clavs in the week and which the sailors coll "topgallant tea. tow JlptM-r is a common dish on all "mean ships." It is made by boiling beef bones for sis or seven hours with all the scraps left over from for mer meals. The broth so obtained is well seasoned with salt and served out. Another dish is "jumping Jenny," sometimes called "double belt pie," from the fact that the sailor has to take in a couple of holes In his belt after eating it in order to stay him until the next meal. It is the result of a week's leavings from the cabin table mixed with six or eight ship's biscuits and lialf an onion. It Is not at all a nice dish, and a sailor with epicurean tastes always makes a row when the cook serves it. On some of the "western ocean" trgmps a dish is served known to the sailors as "hide stew," and the toughest old salt that ever was drunk on shore or mutinous at sea Is subdued by I It to a state of lamblike docility, for it la sure to double him up with indigestion and make him think of the hereafter. It is made from a collection of the skins of everything pigs, potatoes, fowl (from the captain's table), bacon ri::d Nad well picked chicken legs. Tl::s is 1 -oiled for six hours and plenty of thick grease added. The captain of a "mean ship" always says, of course, that Uls men are well fed and that they only growl and grumble because they are a bad, ungrateful lot of abandoned wretches. In proof of it he will tell you that he gives them plum duff twice a week. The duff he gives them Is known to the sailors as "bowline duff." It is made from the scrapings of pudding cloths that once held the puddings consumed In port when the captain gave his men real duff, so that they might not know that they had shipped on a "mean hlp and make a "pierhead jump" for liberty. These scrapings are made tulky with biscuit paste and flavored with cloves. "Bowline duff" is the least unpopular of all the dishes on the itiill of fare of the "mean ship," and its 1 actual cost Is 2 cents for every three men. Exchange. The polled Child. Once upon a time a young kingfisbei went to the father bird and asked for his fishing rod, that he might catch some choice trout he had seen In a nearby stream. "No! answered the stern parent. The young bird went his way and in an hour returned dripping wet, saying that he had tried to catch he fish without a pole and had fallen into the water. There! said the mother bird to the j father. "I knew you would spoil the j child If you spared the rod." j Moral. The mother can always fin-l ! a way to place blame on the father, no i matter what happens. New York Her aid. A good story, even when the sam man continues to repeat it, has a tend ncy to jrrow. like a rolling snowball An instance is here furnished: "So our friend Bushier went to th top of Mont Blare?" said one man tc another. -Not at a!L "But he said so." True. Two months ago, when he re turned from Switzerland, he said h liad been at the foot of Mont Blanc Since then he has gradually lied him eolf to the top." HI Saapirlon.

Mention this paper when writing Dr. Kilmer tt Co., Binghamton. N. Y. Seeing the Kdltor. An interesting story Is related by Colonel Iennison in the volume "Soldiering In Canada" concerning the late Sir Henry Ilavelock-AUau. who was a famous fighter. The coSom-I says: "My wife and 1 were iu Hyde park one day when Sir Henry came over and asked how she liked his horse. She said very much, and I gave my opinion that it was about the finest horse 1 had seen on the row that day. He then told us an anecdote about the horse. He said he had ridden into Darlington, which was close to his country seat, and he sent a boy up to the editor of the uewspaper asking him to come down to the street to speak to him for a few min utes, as he could not leave his horse. The edi'or was too busy to come down, and Sh Henry went to him. He rode up two flights of stairs into the editor'-s room, spoke to him from the horse's back, rode round his table and back again and then made his way out into the street. He said the horse tumbled things about a good bit. and the editor danced out of his way. 'liut. added Sir Henry, 'now the editor comes down to me If I go to see him mounted. " Climbing; Animals. Dogs often have to be trained to climb stairs, instinctively distrusting the upper stories. It has been conjectured that this is because the dog's forelegs break easily below the shoulder, and the beast seems to realize this. The fox has no such fear and has been known to climb a tree with plenty of small limbs to the height of seventeen feet. Swimming comes easier than climbing to most animals as well as to many races of men. Kats and guinea pigs can swim well and do not climb at all. Bears can climb well if little, but the grizzly and other large species stay mainly on the ground. A bear always climbs down a tree backward, as does the domestic cat until she has nearly reached the ground, when she turns and jumps, but most wild cats run down a trunk head first, even the heavy leopard being a more skillful climber than the light house cat. The tiger and lion, however, do not climb, for no discoverable reason unless It be that they fear falling on account of their weight. Modifications of Iron. Add carbon to pure iron, and it becomes steel. Add a hydrocarbon to iron, and steel itself becomes so extensively modified that its properties are not recognizable. Thus steel may be soft as pure iron. Add hydrogen in j varying quantity, and It has the quali- j ty of resilience, as in the watch spring, j or the quality of tenacity, as in the j knife or razor, or may lie given nearly J all the hardness of a diamond, as in a rile, from With steel at a low temperature, j 400 to 4."iO degrees F.. edge tools j are produced and color in the yellow shades; from o "1 to 525 degrees various sorts of springs are produced, color blue, while by heating iron to whiteness and plunging it into water, which is mainly composed of hydrogen, tiles are produced or forms eveu harder. Ice In the Sickroom. A medical journal tells how a saucer- i ful of shaved ice may ! kept in asickroom through a day and uight if ; need be, even with a tire in the room. Tut the saucer holding the ice in a ' soup plate and cover it with another. Then place the soup plates thus arrauged on a good, heavy pillow and cover! with another pillow, pressing the pil- j lows so that the plates are completely Imbedded in them. The paragraph adds that cne of the best ice shavers is an I old jack plane set deep. It should be j turned bottom upward and the ice moved backward and forward over the cutter. To Forget. Feeble natures live in their sorrows Instead of converting them into apothegms of experience. They are saturated with them, and they consume themselves by singing back each day Into the misfortunes of the past. To forget is the great secret of strong and creative existence, to forget after the manner of nature, which knows no past and begins again every hour the mysteries of her indefatigable productiveness.

"Do not button more than the three lowest buttons of your waistcoat that your hand may not be raised too high. "Io not thrust your hand into your breeches as vulgar boys do. but let it fall with ease under the flap of your waistcoat." To face this page there is a beautiful "copper cut" of a young master iu the easy and elegant attitude recommended, and truly "there is a great deal of sweetness in bis looks." This delightful volume was published by It. Baldwin at the Itose in Paternoster row and K. Collins in Salisbury 17t5. Ixingraau's Magazine. KITCHEN HELPS. To clean a greasy sink a little paraffin oil. rubbed on with a piece of flannel, will save a great deal of trouble. Ordinary tea marks on china may be readily dissolved by scrubbing with a soft brush dipped in salt water and viflegar. If new tinware is rubbed over with fresh lard and thoroughly heated in the oven before it is used., it will never rust afterward, no matter how much it is put in water. A good way to clean zinc utensils is to dip a piece of cotton in kerosene and rub the articles with it until the dirt Is removed. Dry afterward with a clean cloth so as to get rid of all grease. For stained tinware borax produces the best results. If the teapot or caf-; feepot is discolored on the inside, boil ! it in a strong solution of boras for a j short time, and all its brightness will j return. Trns and kettles partly filled with water should not be placed .. on " the range to soak, as It only makes them harder to clean. They should be tilled with cold water and be kept away from the heatXante For F'arma. "We wish that every farm in Maine would be named." says the Lewiston Journal. "This is not a mere matter of sentiment, by any means, but it is strictly business. "The man whose farm ia known by some name Is certain to take a greater interest in its products and to conduct all of his operations on a better plan. On every place there Is certain to be some peculiarity that will sueirest a name. A spring of pure water, a grove of oak or inaple trees or something else of a similar nature will give It a local flavor. Then paint its name On the end Of the barn facing the road. Let it be where " every passerby can see It. lour farm will then soon become known far and . , Wide and Will aid you In a thousand ways. "Besides, how much more dignified it is to be spoken of as the proprietor of Oak Grove farm than to le alluded to as Jim Jones. By all means name your farms, and it will make you all better farmers." What a Rnrria neatly Ia. When parchment was used for writ ing and when bookbinding was in its infancy and a bound book was a costly j luxury, it was the custom to place the j book on a piece of cloth or a strip of j wool In order to prevent the binding j from possible damage on the rougn s wood tf the table. Those who had to deal with money also had a strip of cloth on the table or counter so that the coins should not roll. This strip was called "bureau."
