Dinner on a Japane.se S'eamboat.
Dinner was ou the table, and we
would at least sit down, making talk
of ghastly cheerfulness and eyeing each
'other suspiciously. We ate our sonp
and eagerly discussed its relative mer
its with those of various other roups
we had eateu under circumstances we
were at curious pains to remember and
recite. Two courses followed, one of
mutton, the other of veal. I forget
which was the veal; but it did not mat
er. It mig ht bave been called tur tie
fin with equal accuracy of reference to
its flavor. At this stage the lady of
the party retired. Another course ar
rived of some undistinguishable meat.
I am not sure that it was not the veal
back again having passed out at one
door and in at theother, after the man
ner of an army of supers at country
theaters. The young gentleman from
Glasgow, who accompanied us on the
voyage, though unusually silent, did
fa rlf well. He' bad paid for his din
ner, and with national apitude he felt
that the commercial transaction would
not be completed unless he ato it.
Something e'se came on. perhaps
cheese, peradventure an orange. The
cook was detarmind to rise to the oc
casion and show the friends of the
Foreign Minister what could be done
on board this ship. To this end he
had manufactured three small tarts, of
very pale complexion, which by way of
luriutr on the appetite had been placed
on the table with the soup. These
tarts were always slipping off the tab',
being rescued from under by somebody
a:jd replaced on the dish. " I have a
fan'-v that they were not quite so pale
as when It:rJL'?av them. But with
ti)e-cabiu bobbing about in this style,
the ceiling coming down to the floor
the 1'oor going up to the ceiling, and
occasionally the port or starboard side
taking the p ace of the ceiling, even a
tart made of tinned greengages might
be excused if it gradually lost some of
its fresher tints.
I had meant to sit out the young gen
tleman from Glasgow; but when I saw
him take up one o- these tarts with evi
dent iutent of eating It, 1 left It was
not easy to get fied on the plate-shelf,
but it was done at last, and I even got
to sleep. From time to time it seemed
at least every hour I was awakened by
the thud of the sea as it thundered down
on deck witU a rushing noise swept
backwards and forwards till it finally
cleared o'Jf. Alas! for the hapless Jap
aicse family with their frail tenement
of boxes and their poor shelter of tar
paulin. It was piteous to think how the
night mast have sped with them and
wit-h the other poor wretches battened
down in the hold. English Illustrated

M lk Diet.
Milk should enter largely into the
diet of children. It contains case ne,
or t'ejh-formiug material, cream and
suar, which are heat producers; min
eral salts, for the bony structure; and
water as a solvent for nil the other ma
terials necessary in nutrition. It should
l.e used with discretion, however; not
drunk immoderately, but taken slowly
a? food, after the pattern given by
nature. Milk as taken is a tmid, but
as soon as it meets the acid of the gas
tric juice, it is changed to a soft, curdy,
cheese-like substance, and t en must
he digested, and the stomach is over
tusked if too much be taken at once.
A large glas of milk swallowed sud
denly will form in the stomach a lump
of den-e, cheesy curd, which may even
prove fatal to a weak 6tomach. L'nder
the action of the stomach this cheesy
mass will turn over and over like a
heavy weight, and, as the gastric . uiee
can only attack its surface, it digests
very slowly. But this same milk, taken
slowly, or with dry toast, light rolls, or
soft, dry porridge, forms a porous lump
through 'which the gastric juice can
easily pass, and which breaks up every
tituetbe stomach turns it over. Milk
should be slightly salted, and eaten
with breadstuff's or sipped by the spoon
ful. Cow's milk produces less heat
than human milk; a child would grow
thin upon it unless a little sugar were
added. Wheat flour has such an ex
t ess of heat-producing material as
would fatten a child unduly, and should
have cow's milk added to it to reduce
its fattening power. Philadelphia Call
Wet Feet an J Garments.
While it is known that colds result
from the unequal temperature of d ffer
enC parts of the body, some parts of it
being cold and most of it warm and
perspiring, it is reasonable to re er
many if not most of these to wet and
cold feet. It is as needful for chiKIren,
little girls, to wear rubbers, arctics and
the like thick boots, rubier and
beaver when out in the damp snows,
as for adults, and more so, since such
are frailer. It they fail to do so, wet
feet are but the necessary result. And
here it is r ell to remember that if rub
bers are worn in the house, or too long
at any one time, the perspirable matter
from the feet will wet the ho3e prac
tical wet feet. If from any cause the
feet become wet, it should be the
mother's first object to have the boots
and hose removed, the feet, if cold,
soaked in warm water, till thoroughly
warmed, a little cool water dashed over
them, wiped dry, thoroughly rubbed
o.-brushed, and "then well clad- kept
warm. The same remarks equally ap
ply to wet garments. It is unsafe, nay,
cruel, to long neg ect a child in such
circumstances. Most of our fever3 have
their immediate cause in these sudden
colds.
An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure," in sacli cases as truly
as in any circumstances. Very much
must depend on the care of the feet.
It is probable that far more of the
waste matter of the system, the per
spiration, passes out through the feet
thus accounting for au unpleasant odor
in some cases than from any oilier
similar surface of the body. Henc?,
the feet need a thorough washing r.3
frequently as the face, and theu il
loweJto be exposed as lo.ig as con
venient to the direct rays of the warm
sun. Indeed, that is safe at any time,
and will do much, with thorough fric
tion, to cure cold foet, far mote than
' 'toasting" them in the stove oven,
which but aggravates the matter. It is
far safer to soak-cold feet at bed-time
in hot water followed by the cool
dash, etc. than to put them in snow
and ice-water, as some do, since but
few can bear such harshness. Golden

Deer Stalking in Scotland.
A day's stalking, from the beginning
to the end, is full of incident and ex
citement. The highest hopes may be
dashed by sudden disappointment, and
there are perpetual slips between the
cup and the lip. It is so much the better
when toils have been crowned by suc
cess, and the stag round which your
maneuvers have 'been concentrating
themselves, at last, in his magnificent
proportions, is lying dead at your feet.
First comes the finding of the deer.
Time after time your trusty stag may
have been driven" into the hillside and
the telescope steadied against it. Time
after time the wild landscape may have
been swept in vain. After the closest
examination of each rock and patch of
heather there has not been a glimpse of
hide or of horns. Then all at once, and
perhaps where vou least expected it,
ycuhave seen tlio little hera of- deer
feeding, unsuspicious of danger.
There is a heavy stag, we may sup
pose, with a respectable head, and on
lim you have set your affections. But
ie is surrounded by a small seraglio of
linds, one or two of them having been
told oft' upon sentinel duty. Sinking
down upon the heather, crawling back
behind the nearest cover, you hold quick
but anxious consultation as' to the cir
cumventing him. . A great circuit has
to be made before you can creep down
upon him against the wind, raking
the bearings of the herd by certain land
marks on the sky line, you start away
npon the long detour. You have al
ready done considerable walking in the
course of your peregrinations; but it is
now that strength and breath are
tasked, or, rather, they would be tasked
were it not for the excitement. -The
sinewy keeper steps out in most decep
tive 6tyle, getting over the ground twice
as. fast as you might fancy. You may
hare to breast sundry stiff hills in suc
cession ere reaching the last point of
vantage, where you begin the critical
operations. There, where you hope
again to sight the deer, is a moment of
intense expectation. They may have
shifted their ground by chance,' or may
have taken alarm and left altogether.
To your satisfaction you see that they
are much as they were; but the satis
faction is by no means unmingled. - ;
1 he stag is recumbent and ruminat
ing so quietly that it appear you might
almost step up and stroke him; but one
of the hinds on duty is constitutionally
restless, and it is her ceaseless vigilance,
you have to elude. The approach is a
sharp descent down the hills, and that
makes the task all the more difficult
Then it is that the red Indian instincts
of the keeper are called into play. He
pioneers the path, if path it can be
called, .where you are either crawlinc
like a snake or groveling like a rated
spaniel. Now you are grinding off your
buttons against the angularities of im
practicable stones. Now you are mak
ing a rush between hillock" and hillock,
bent nearlv double, while the head of
the sentinel hind happens to be turned
in the opposite direction
You know, nevertheless, that she may
sight you at any moment, or that some
treacherous air current may give her
your wind, in which case all your labors
have been thrown away. Or perhaps
your liaes of painful approach may have
fallen in the broken bed of a mountain
burn, and then all the crawling and
the crouching have to be done with the
cold water running in at the neck of
your shirt and filtering out at the knees
of your knickerbockers. Surmounting
these trials and vicissitudes successfully
you may congratulate yourself when
you find yourself safelv ensconced with
in sixty or eighty yards of the deer.
It is then that the keeper may be
thrusting the rille into your hand, urg
ing you to shoot; it is then you will do
well to assert your independence. In
the first place you hao been overheat
ed, overstrained, and then soaked; so
it is next to impossible that the pulses
can be beating quietly, or that even by
the aid of some convenient slab of stone
vou can make sure of steadying the rifle.
In the next place, as we hare imagined
the deer , lying down, it is possible he
may offer but a doubtful mark. Yet
undue delay will be dangerous, as well
as irritating to the nerves. Each fleet
ing minute is pregnant with hope or
possible incident Luck may befriend
you, the stag may stretch himself and
get up, or a low whistle mav at last be
necessary, which will land Kim at once
on his legs, when he will stand station
ary and listening for a moment Then,
as the bullet goes home with a thud be
hind the shoulder, you know that all
your labors are repaid; should you
shoot wild and miss or merely maim
him your first idea is instantaneous sui

Treatment of Criminals.
A somewhat remarkable account ap
pears in the Paris Temps of the way in
which persons convicted of murder are
treatea in some of the European States
where capital punishment is either abol
ished or never enforced. In Belgium it
appears that many murderers, who are
confined under life sentences, may be
seen "going about unshackled or work
ing at some easy occupation, like toy
making, in cells that have been made to
look homelike with pictures' and other
little things which the convict has
bought out of his earnings. This is one
way of punishing murderers, because
the King is too tender-hearted to allow
a capital sentence to take effect. The
other side of the picture is shown in
Italy, where conscientious scruples also
prevent the executioner from doing his
duty." Fassamante, who tried to mur
der King Humbert in 1878, is confined
to the Island of Elba. He is secured to
the wall of an almost dark cell by a
chain five feet in length, which is rivited
to an iron ring around his ankle, ami
which does not allow him to take more
than one step in any direction. -His
