The splendid ship Mowhan, now In port, and the largest vessel which has been here, had such an arrangement on board during her trip to Oregon. On leaving Belfast for Portland she took on board as bal 2,000 tons of Irish soll, which, when leveled off, made quite a streteh of ground, and, as the soll of Ireland Is proverbially fertile, the ghip's company proceeded to put it to good use by plant. ing a stock of garden truck In it—cab- bage, leeks, turnips, radishes, lettuce, The seeds came up all right and the plants flourished finely, and when the ship was in the tropics grew with great rapidity. As they pro- toward the Horn and the weather grew colder, things came to perfection rapidly. The crew and ship's apprentices amused themselves by weeding and cultivating the plants, and captain and officers took walks in the garden dally, and all had green vegetables to thelr he art's con- ever regular As they came around the Horn the garden was replanted, and by the time firey the equator everythi was abloom, and all hands feasted fresh vegetables daily, The only draw- backs to the gar reached ng on weed len were the which grew so rapidly 1d hardly be kept down of pigs that were kept ju the farmyar attachment, and which, when the nor'easter out of the bour that they cot and the droves veral } OUCKL OR s¢ casions, wns into a broke ous inroads on the garden hands on ship ous matter to call all ship, but there was more pounding scuttles and handspikes ar of boatswain's whistles than if had all 11 Gong and is only when the oq Gt PigS R08 aback by a typhoon had been carried and every sleeper was ar been laid the masts awn oused to hel garden, The last pig was killed and sery with green vegetables just han entered the Col of the Mowhan soll wasdischarged on tl pany’s dock and plied up any exiled patriot the “ould god The pile will shamrocks in Freak. nk ba tiregon invit ture.

Some of the Notions Which Were En- tertained Years Agno, That idea was almost dominant in religious society sixty years ago, and sometimes assumed forms which, if not ridiculous, were at least quaint. It was, for instance, held to be wrong for any but the aged to sit in easy chairs, not, as is now vainly imagined. from any ignorant idea as to the injury done to the figure, but because “lolloping” betrayed a blameworthy tendency to ease and self-indulgence. That was the origin also of the extraordinary preju- dice against taking any extra sleep. The old knew well that sleep, when sleep is not needed, is to the young the most wearisome of all obediences, but nevertheless they believed that to avish to sleep more than a strictly regulated time, which, according te modem hygeists, was too short, was a mark of sluggish self-indulgence, and it was visited, therefore, with moral reproba- tion. Early rising was extravagantly prais- ed, pot because it lengthened the day, for the early risers went to bed early, but because it was disagrecable; and some curious rules of diet—for example, abstinence from sugar—were defended in part upon the same principle. We have known girls cut off their curls avowedly because they were proud of them, and men go about in shabby
