A WONDERFUL GARDEN, THIS,

derful Enough,
Most peaple have heard of the hang-

roof gardens and the gardens or float.
ing islands in which vegetables used to
be grown for the citizens of ancient
Mexico, but probably few have heard
of a garden on board a ship, with farm
yard attachment. 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.

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-

THE WICKEDNESS OF SLEEPING.
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
