In the Stccrngc.
One who ha made a trip in the steer
age of an ocean steamer gives us some
idea of its discomforts. He says after
passing the doctor we went below to ar
ranges our possessions, and the first meal
on board was supplied us. With a great
can each, the steward and his assistant
catue round and ladled out soup to all
who called for it. There is oatinnal and
pearl barley in it, which thickens it
slightly, otherwise it is no better than
the soup I have seen supplied in the
French prisons. Afterwards, in another
great can, the meat was brought down,
cut up into slices and lumps, and served
by the aid of a fork and lingers. A dirty
hand full of potatoes was thrust toward
me. They were more filthy than when
dragged out of mother earth. I did not
wonder when subsequently I saw the
way in which they were prepared. A
sack of potatoes was hauled up from the
stores, dragged to tho galley, emptied
into the copper, when cooked they were
emptied back into the same sack and
dragged down to tho steerage ana turned
into the cans for serving out. I have
seen horses and hounds in England
served more decently than the emigrants
were, and what makes this worse is that
in many cases the food, was good and
there was a wasteful supply of it, but
the cooking and serving out made each
meal repulsive to the most hardened
stomach. Tea was served out in the
steerage shortly alter six . o'clock. The
tea was simply without taste, but with a
large amount of grease floating dh the
top of the hot water which composed it.
The butter was good, but the bread very
bod and sour, and so it continued all
during the voyage, for the very good
reason that the bakers were always
drunk and frequently fighting in the
galley.
It was late at night, and we were well
down the channel before I summoned up
courage to go " forrad " and make my
way down to the steerage. At the bot
tom of tho stairs, I gasped for breath.
I made my way to my berth, and, climb
ing in, laid down on my rugs. It was
horriblp, simply unendurable. Touching
me on each side were two of the mass of
snoring, groaning, perspiring humanity.
I could not contemplate sleep ; I thought,
after a moment, that I must be suffo
cating, and flew to the deck, where I
passed the night undcr-the cover of the
hurricane deck forward.
The next morning we were well out
at sea. I early took my can to the pump
to obtain my allotted three quarts of
water. A washing-place was provided
in the latrines, but as they were always
crowded, a good many al fresco toilets
were made on deck. 1 found my water
can worthless ; but this did not materi
ally matter, as there was no difficulty in
obtaining water at any time from the
pumps, at which a sailor was always
placed.
Breakfast was coffqe (sweet, dirty,
greasy water), sour bread, and butter.
The morning was one of horrors ; the
demon of seasickness was abroad, and
men, women and children lay on the
deck (to which they were all banished
for an hour after breakfast, that the
sailors might ventilate and sweep the
steerages) like animals, all sense of thame
or decency lost in the agony they en
dured. At Queenstown we took in some eighty
passengers, all boisterous and many
drunk ; but only a short delay ensued,
for everything that seamanship, steam,
and sail can do were to be brought to
bear on this trip, as many heavy bets
were pending in Liverpool on the result
of it as to bpeed. Shortly after getting
outside Queenstown we were driven aft
and our tickets collected, a search at the
same time being made for " stowaways,"
three boys and one man being found, and
set to work their passage. The demon
of sea-sickness was soon abroad, the next
day, worse than ever. Few of the pas
ses gers were hardy eneugh to take din
ner that day. One meal was the same
as another. The provisions, in many
cases good and wholesome, and in ample
quantity, but spoiled by the want of
proper cookery, was served out as if to
pigs. One of the officers of tho ship
suid to me, afterward : " Before I could
touch food served out like that, I would
lie down and die of starvation." For
two days I tried the experiment ; hunger
could not force me to eat ; but after that
I thought I had dono enough to prove
personally what I write about. The
possession of gold everywhere inspires
respect, and I am glad that I was not
only able to live well myself, but also
that I could procure many " comforts "
for helpless women and children.
It was some days before I ventured
down the aft steerage devoted to married
couples and single women. According
to the contract, I expected to find them
in separate reoms, but such was not the
case. With the exception that their
steerage was on the first deck, it was the
enlarged counterpart of the forward one.
On one side were the married couples'
berths, on the other side the single wo
men's ; not the slightest separation be
tween them ; not even a curtain or screen
at the little passages between the berths,
which at least would havo allowed the
single women to dress in semi-privacy.
Consequently, all the decent women did
not remove their dresses during the voy
age, as the married men and the stewards
would be passing about at all hours.
Ventilatiox of gnors. I am well
aware ventilation has bothered the lead
ing architects of the kingdom, as witness
the experiments with the House of Com
mons and our law Courts. The simpler
the truth, the more likely is it to be
overlooked. All that, in fact, is neces
sary to promote a constant change of cir
culation is that the quarter toward
which the air sets in should be cooler
than that from which it is drawn. Thus,
let the sun beat ever so fiercely on a dra
per's shop and be reflected with any
amount of intensity from opposite build
ings, or from asphalt or stone pavement,
provided that the air entering the door
can eventually find some escape upward,
where the cool air acts as a magnet, there
will be that perpetual movement which
induces coolness. But tho point of es
cape must be sheltered from the sun.
Many a draper having extended his shop
to what was formerly ' a garden, and
raised a skylight over the addition is sur
prised to find that the air in his shop
continues still and close. The secret is
that the gun still beats on his skylight ;
that the air behind is just as warm as
the air before, and there is neither action
nor reaction. In other cases where the
skylight is protected from the sun, there
is a continual procession of air, and, let
me add, there are few things cooler than
air in motion. The Warehoutemen &l)ra

The flegears of Italy.
Each Italian city has its characteristic
type of beggars, though none is without
specimens of all tu they aro a wander
ing race, and move to where charities
aro most abundant. Home, however, is
the capital of beggardom. In Venice
they ply their art in gondolas. In Flo
rence they dress in filthy rags, whine
pitcously, expose infants, and train
bright-eyed young girls to waylay
strangers, demanding alms with a perti
nacity proof against all repulse, though
liable to the penalties of the law j in fact,
throughout Tuscany they are the dirtiest
and most beggarly set of beggars Italy
can show. At the entrance of Yassieux's
reading-room, a white-haired old man,
bent with age, his clothes hanging to
gether by scanty stitches, is to be seen
sitting in one position, and always in
the same spot; for years he has been
thus ; he never speaks, but, as the visi
tors pass, meekly bows his head silent
if he receives a copper, and equally si
lent if disappointed. His dumb appeal
is not without its fruts. A more ex
pressive image of venerable patience,
poverty, and humility the imagination
never conceived j and yet, I presume, tho
old dodge, like Beppo, the legless, ro
guish king of beggars at Rome, is rich,
and able to dower his daughters, if he
have any.
In Naples they beg from the fun of it j
bright-eyed, merry boys, full of Ufa and
activity, or lnzoroni, up to a thousand
tricks to excite compassion and gain the
trifling sum that will feed them for a
week, while, for a bed, stone steps or a
basket aro sufficiently comfortable. But
at Naples they are nearly all ready to
do any thing but actual labor to unloose
your purse-strings ; they will lie, cheat,
or steal as temptation offers, and, if it
please you, dance, sing, engulf macaroni,
and play the jacknapes after the drollest
fashion possible. There is fun and mis
chief in their begging which half-disguises
its viciousness.
Beggary in Italy is elevated to the
rank of an occupation. Men and women
are borne, and die beggars, as their pa
rents before them. This class appears
the more numerous, because they have
the art of multiplying themselves, as it
wore, interminably. They are the car
rion crows of benevolence. They strip
it te its very bones, and scent their game
afar off. There is no end to their dis
guises and ailments. Proteus-like, they
change their rags and diseases to suit
every phase of charity. With an ubiqui
ty that savors of marvelousness they are
here, there, and everywhere at tho same
instant ; now lame, then dropsical, all at
the once minus an eye, arm, or leg, cov
ered with sores, rheumatic, crimped by
age or famished by hunger j surrounded
by nursing, starving children ; assuming
every shape of disease or deformity, with
crutches and all the outward appeals to
sympathy, they excite terror and disgust
as often as charity. There is no disguis
ing their barefaced imposition. If their
imperfections are real, the eighteen hos
pitals of Rome are ample for their relief.
But they are like Bedouins in their hab
its, and prefer the plunder of the public
to the legitimate relief of their wants.
They are to be seen chiefly on the steps
of the churches, when not begging,
swearing, card-playing, or sleeping from
morning to night ; tcJiere they then re
tire to, no decent mortal may know.
In contrast with these are the genteel
beggars ; counts and countesses, veiled
ladies in black, who haunt theatres ;
others in gayer costumes, who track you
to your homes ; all begging under some
pretext or other, and grateful for a half
dollar, when, from their appearance, you
feel ashamed to offer tho man an eagle.
I have had a well-dressed gentleman ap
proach me in the street, bow with great
courtesy, apologize for fnterrupting me,
and then go on to inform me that he
was of the higher classes, but had lost
his money, and would be thankful for a
" mcszo-ba iocco," h alf-een t ! Lad ies, t oo, so
grateful as to kiss your hands for a half
dime ! The degradation in such cases is
too deep for tho poverty to bo wholly
genuine.
A Remarkable Suit.
Many people who have read Dickens'
novel of " Bleak House," and tho pres
sure of chancery suits upon the minds
of people who sought to right their
wrongs through them, thought the pic
tures overdrawn, and yet " Miss Flite,"
who never became discouiaged after re
peated defeats, and never faltered until
at last she had her case decided on the
" Day of Judgment," and Richard, w"io
sank into insanity and tho grave were
hardly more pitiable victims of tho fric
tion and crosses that are incurred by lit
igation, than is George W. Purdy, of
Marlborough, N. Y., who for ten years
has been in tho constant heat of legal
struggle. His suit has benn with one of
his neighbors, Robert A. Kerr, who, in
1S.'9, leased a farm from Elisha Purdy,
George's father, for a period of five years
with a covenant to convey the property
if Kerr paid $10,000 and all arrearages
of rent at any time during the first threo
years of the term. The next year" Mr.
Purdy died, leaving a widow and five
children. Kerr purchased the interest
of two of the children in 1871, and in
18G2, on the last day of the threo years,
he offered to pay the other children and
the widow all the back rents and their
share of the $10,000, at the same time
demanding a deed. He did not have the
money and they refused to convey un
less compelled to. Kerr then commenc
ed suit, and it has run through all possi
ble forms and varieties, being decided
and the decision appealed from time and
again, the last and recent conclusion be
ing a refusal to compel a conveyance.
The property "has grown in valae until
it now involves as much as $00,000.
Purdy's brain has been so affected by
the long struggle, that last summer he
attempted to kill his mother and sisters
and was sent to the insane asylum, from
which he has just been released.
Foul Cell ars. In North Cambridge,
Mass., a whole family of eight persons
was found to be prostrated by typhoid
fever with no one left to assist them or
even to call in aid. The bottom of the
cellar was found t. be covered to the
depth of several inches with slime and
filth, out of which the disease had sprung
and well nigh destroyed the people who
let it breed there. How many such cel
lars might be hunted up Y

A Question Answered.
"Can you give mo a remedy for the
falling out ot the hair Y I am only thir
teen years of age and my hair is falling
out in spots. My head is free from erup
tions, and my eyebrows are getting quite
thin I have been told that it is a para
site. Inform me what a parasite is Y"
Ant. A parasite, in the sense alluded
to, is defined to bo " an animal that lives
during the whole or a part of its exist
ence on the body of some other animal."
The flea, for instance, is a common para
site of the slog. As regards the human
huir, it is often destroyed by a littlo
creature called the ttcatotoon fulliailonim,
a nuisance which makes its appearance
on the scalp, where the sebaceous folli
cles often coincide with the hair follicles,
and in many other cases empty their con
tents into the latter. In plainer lan
guage, the oily substance secreted by the
skin, on the head, oozes through the mi
nute orifices in which grow the hairs. In
these orifices tiny warms, named as
above, make their home. They are, ex
cept in size, very like caterpillars, and
have "a distinct head with feelers, a
chest with four pairs of legs, and a long
tail." The small black spots soon on the
faces of some people, and which are so
often " squeezed out," are closely related
in nature to this parasite of tho scalp.
Tho latter feeds and thrives on tho oily
matter that exudes through these open
ings or follicles on the skin of the head,
and then gnaws off tho hair, probably for
additional exercise.
Ono writer on this subject, Dr. B. C.
Ferry, says : ' I havo often found mas
ter Hteatozoon cluod to a hairshaft. iust
above the surface of the scalp to which
point he may have been conveyed from
within the follicle by the natural growth
of tho hair and have observed with ad
miration the affectionate tenacity of his
hold, which usually withstands not only
stiff brushes, but the finest comb, and
seems eternal. Nothing but the absolute
destruction of tho hair, root, and shaft
seems to satisfy this ardent creature,
which clings closer and closer, and at
length arrives at such a pitch of fervor
that the hair, I must presume, is fairly
squeezed to death in its embrace." The
same authority adds : " Whenever it
appears, the hair becomes dry and brit
tle, and, if naturally dark, assumes a yel
lowish hue or a variegated mixturo of the
old and the new shades, and presently
begins to fall. A peculiarity of this de
structive action is, that thn Lair is never
afterwards reproduced. It may be that,
having oaten its way into tho hollow in
terior of the shaft, it pours in somo pois
onous substance which finds its way to
the roots and destroys the apparatus em
ployed in evolving tho hair, or paralyses
the nerve of the papula that vitalises the
atoms which enter into its o riginal for
mation. The little pest which is able to
achieve this deplorable result, is of rath
er a bluish tinge, and resembles a nit in
size, but not in color or shape. Though
he triumphs signally over such means of
a mechanical nature as are employed to
remove him, he quickly succumbs to a
solution of 11yd. Bichlor., a few applica
tions sufficing both to destroy him and
counteract tho effects of his poisou."
How It Has Discovered.
Fifty years ago there lived in Munich
an artist and author, one Aloys Senefol-
der. Having stated his profession and
his country, it is needless to add that he
was poor. .Publishers would not pub
lish for him, amateurs would not buy his
pictures ; so Aloys tound that Art, though
a delightful mistress, was a bad house
keeper, and accordingly betook himself
to the feet of invention. He experi
mented in engraving, and fabricated an
ink which was capable of resisting the
action of those acids used by engravers
when they etched on copper. He devo
ted himself to experimenting with this
ink on copper plates, hoping that he had
discovered a means of facilitating the
art of engraving. To buy copper plates,
however, requires a purseful of other
metals, and after many trials Aloys
found that ho had neither copper in
plate or coin remaining. In this dilem
ma he cast about for some other medium
on which he could pursue his experi
ments at a less cost, and bethought him
self of a ceitain species of stone called
Kilheim btone, which was capable of be
ing highly polished, and was none the
worse for failures, as it could be polished
over again. On these stones, cheaply
obtained, he drew and etched, and
dreamed each day of that splendid for
tune which all of us behold gleaming
dimly in the Future. One day, when he
was without a kreutzer to rattle against
the solitary one that lay in the bottom
of his pocket, a literary job-was propos
ed to him, for which a slight remunera
tion wag offered. Some humble friend,
innocent of tho art'of writing, proposed
that Aloys should draw up a washing
bill. History does not give us the
name of this liberal employer, but
we are justified in presuming that the
person in question was his laundress, and
that Aloys worked out in this way a
month's clean linen. Having no paper
by him, poor fellow I he roughly wrote
the items in his cherished ink upon one
of his Kilheim stones. The idea then
seized him of taking an impression of
the document from the stone on paper.
He tried and succeeded. Thug it was
that the art of lithography was invented
an art intimately connected with the
comic literature of the present day. In
directly we are indebted to a laundress
and a poor author for tho Charivari and
La Caricature.
A Wicked Drink. Absinthe, the
most pernicious of stimulants, which is
consumed to an enormous extent in
France, and especially in Paris, was
almost unknown except as a medicinal
agent before the Algerian expedition un
der the reign of Louis Philippe. In Oran
and Constantino fever made such sad
havoc in the ranks of the army, and the
doctors recommended the soldiers to mix
absinthe, which is the bitter extract of
wormwood, with their wine as a preser
vative against miasmata in lieu of qui
nine, which was too costly to be generally
distributed. During the whole of the
campaign the army drank this mixture,
and also mixed absintho with their
brandy. The habit wag retained by the
troops after their return to France, and
the liquor now known as aVsinthe first
became a popular drink in Marseilles.
Thence it advanced slowly throughout
France, and has finally become the fa
vorite' drink of the country, though its
effects upon the health, and especially
upon the brain, are of the most delete
rious character. In Cayenne, New Cal
edonia, and other French colonies, its
consumption is very great. There the
colonists drink it undiluted in excessive
quantities, and the consequence has been
a trigbttul increase in the rates of mor
tality. As a means of sure and speedy
suicide, absinthe is scarcely excelled by
strychnine.
AGRICULTU11A L
Fowls i Orchards. The public hag
yet to learn the full advantage of keep
ing poultry, rew mem 10 appreciate
what they may do among trees in an
orchard.. Let any one try them in an
orchirdof a quarter of an acre where they
may be kept by a picket fence four or five
feet high ; put in say 125 fowls, and ob
serve tho result. They will avoid an
noyance in the garden, of which so many
complain, while they work amid tho
trees, doing just what is needed and de
stroying everything that'ean injure the
fruit trees, in the shape of bugs, worms,
and other insects, and lay a large num
ber of eggs, which are a cosh article, to
say nothing of the chickens, which pay
well for raising at the present time. I
have about 100 fowls which have worked
admirably among my trees, keeping the
ground in gdod condition, keeping off
the insects, and promoting the growth of
the orchard. I am satisfied that we have
yet to learn the full benefit which may
be derived from the proper management
of fowls ; and it is quite possible that the
method I have suggested may offer the
bcBt way of getting our apple orchards
in good bearing condition. Farmer'

Assorting Farm Products. N. R.
G., a young farmer who writes to the
Rural New Yorker, says that ho " wants
to begin right in the marketing of what
he produces," and asks for advice, is urg
ed to adopt the following rules :
1. Grade all products sold as of first,
second and third quality.
2. Sell for first quality only that which
is " A No. 1 ;" and strive to make all
your products reach that grado.
3. Put your name and address on all
packages, so that if they are found just
as represented your name will be asso
ciated with them. This will help make
you a reputation.
4. Never allow a poor article to go off
your farm with your name attached, un
less with a true statment of its quality.
5. Remember that it is cheaper to buy
the best, do-all things in the best way,
and profitable to be known as producing
and selling the best that it is iust as
valuable to you that a customer finds
that what you say is Becond or third class
is so, as to find you tell the truth when
you brand your produce as first clas3.
Labor to get an honest name in market,
and, that gained, you will have a pass
port to prosperity and wealth, provided
you are strictly vigilant in guarding it.
Sewage Farms not Offensive. The
plan of spreading tho sewage of largo
towns on the surface of the land has
been strongly opposed on various grounds,
but on none more vigorously than that
it would be a disgusting nuisance to the
whole surrounding country. This turns
out to have been a mere bugbear, actual
trial in several localities in England
showing that it is not attended with any
such result. Lord Warwick, near whose
park were two sewage farms, so tar from
finding them a nuisance, has contracted
for an additional amount of sewago to be
placed on his lands, on account of its
fertilizing properties. He says that
2,000,000 gallons of sewage daily are
spread over 500 acres of land, and yet it
is no nuisance whatever; and he has
agreed to take the sewage from the towns
of Warwick and Leamington for thirty
years, paying therefor upwards of $2,000
a year.
Best Food for Horses. A Connec
ticut clergyman, after careful estimates
and, experiments, gives the following
tables for feeding horses : " For flesh,
Indian meal six quarts a day, sprinkled
on hay, cut from four to six inches long;
feed three times a day. For speed, long
hay, sprinkled with water ; oats, twelve
quarts, always dry ; feed three times a
day."
How to Measnro Land.
Land can be measured with satisfactory
accuracy for many purposes by pacing.
r ivo paces are equui 10 one uneai rod.
A man having long legs will usually
measure more than a rod at five paces,
while a short legged man will be obliged
to step unnaturally long to measure a rod
at five paces. The correct way is to
measure 1G 1-2 feetonlevol ground, then
practice guaging the steps until one can
measure one rod at every livo steps.
Then one hundred steps or paces will be
equal to twenty rods. If a plot of land
be two hundred paces long and fifty
paces wide, call every five paces a rod,
multiply the rods in length by the num
ber of rods in width, and divide tho
product by 1G0, the square rods in an
acre. Thus : 100 paces 20 rods, and 50
paces 10 rods, or 10 by 20, 200 square
rods, which divided by 100, 1 1-4 acres,
A square acre is about 208 feet 8 3-4
inches on every side.
In order to lav out a strip of land
twico as long as the width the longth
must be 417 feet 5 inches, and the width
104 feet 4 inches.
Twenty feet front and 2178 feet deep
one acre.
Twenty-five feet front and 173 feet
deep one acre.
Thirty feet front and 1432 feet deep
ono acre.
Thirty-threo feet front and 1329 feet
doep one acre.
Fifty feet front and 871 feet deep
one acre.
One hundred feet front and 435 feet
ddop one acre.
In one square acr there are 43,500
superficial feet; 010 acres make one
square milo; 1G0 acres equal a quarter
section. If a plw turns a furrow-slice
one foot wide, a team must travel about
eight and one-third miles to plow ono
acre.
When rows of corn aro three feet apart
and the horse shoe is drawn once botweon
every two, a horse must travol 1 1-2
miles to finish every acre.
Hindoo Caste. The distinctions of
caste are a great obstacle to free, social
and friendly intercourse in India,
Among the wealthy it is a frequent prac
tice and a work of great merit to give
dinners to Brahmins, but the person who
gives the dinner, if he is not a Brahmin,
cannot eat with them or even be one of
their company without eating. His
presence in tho company would pollute
all the -food, and make it unfit for any
Brahmin to eat He can only look from
gome distance upon those who are feast
ing npan his liberality, and who will not
allow him at whose expense they are
eating and he may be a prince, too to
come near them, lest his presence should
pollute the tood which they are eating,
13 ut among those of the same caste, eat
ing together is a strong bond of union,
Dinners are frequent, and are regarded
as evidenco of good standing in the caste.
While a man is under censure of his
caste, or any accusation of haviner viola
ted any of its rules, he is excluded from
all caste dinners and ceromonies, and this
is felt to be a great reproach and pun-
uuuieui.
Nicknamed Minors.
The coal-miners of the Black Country
are fund of giving nicknames to each
other. Such names as "Old Oss,"
"Straight Hair," "Punch," "The Tur
nip," " Snowy," etc.,, are common, and,
what is very remarkable, these names
are go generally used, that the real names
are lost sight of. Many anecdotes might
be collected to show the great difficulty
of discovering a person in the colleries
without being in possession of his nick
name. We quoto one, which may be
taken for what it is worth. " A respec

" Jack and his seven league Uoots.
Twenty years ago Dr. Arch'd Billing, a
devoted and distinguished laborer in the
medical profession, ndvocated bleeding,
and other weakening methods of treat

entitle him to public censure, aud per
chance consign him to a lunatic asylum.
Happily for tuo present and rising gen
eration such medication is a thing pf the
post, and we now labor on the Bide of the
sick man to battle for his life.

The feeble and debilitated usually fancy thev are in

resource of nature are not easily exhausted. Kvea
when a'reurth and appetite fall, when the eyes are
heavy and lustreless, the complexion pallid, the nerves
tremulous, the body attenuated, and the mind de
pressed, there la generally a reserve ef latont power
behind anch palpable evidence! ct weakness. Various
modes of treatment are roaorted to by physicians in the
hop of developing and rendering available thia ilore

either from a derangement of the fnnctiona of the as

where both causes exist, tho Bittara will Invariably
