How the Holy Stones are Used. The day's work may bo said to begin a» »:39 in the morning with the operation of .va >hing the decks. When the clock underneath the break of the poop indicates iiiat time the ship's bell is struck thrice, :t is “three bells.” As the sound dies away tlie boatswain utters n stentoriap •Turn to.” and the hardy siAors prepare for toil. They first put down their pipes; for they have been enjoying a delightful smoke after tl.o early cup of dubious cotlec served out to them in their pani- kins at 5 o'clock. Then, if they are in warm latitudes, they divest themslves of their shoes and stockings, turn up their nether garments and display to the eye of the observer a ludicrous variety of manly calves nnd bare feet. T wo men, perhaps, proceed to the pump and begin to fill tho wash deck tub; three or four others arm themselves with brooms, and there remain one or two sail ors io pais along buckets of water for the boatiwaiH to dash about. There is u peculiar art, only to be acquired ty con- skierabie practice, in throwing a bucket ful of water on to the deck so that it may spread about properly. Cast from tlie professional arms of the boatswain the water fuUs with a familiar “smack” just behind the barefooted mariners with their brooms. It sweeps playfully over their feet, and i. imediately they begin to scrub away gs if they were determined to de- s. . 03' the deck. So bucket after bucket is dipped into Uic wash deck tub and passed on to the boatswain. In some ships he uses a hose, and then more men are able to apply tiieuislvcs to the brooms and scrubbers. If a ship is nearing port nnd the captain wishes the decks to appear particularly white, certain crticles v ery familiar to seafarers art- enrployed in the operation of cleansing. These are denominated by some nantical freak of diction “holy stones.” From the mere name we might imagine them to be the treasured frag ments of some classical shrine, but in reality they are most humble pieces of sandstone about the size of half a brick. Poetry abandons tho nautical mind when the seaman uses the holy stone. Picture to yourself half a dozen bronzed and bare footed mariners on their hands nnd knees were nosed iu Eng 1 and. In size, flavor and quality tliey could scarcely be sur- p.-is sod. It was a surprise to me that the British climate is better than the hot American climate for strawberry culture. Tlie sweet potato seems to be almost un used among the ordinary English fami lies. 'Ihe tomato, which is almost entire ly brought over from France, is not com parable in quality and flavor with those grown in America. American fall and winter apples are very largely in favor in Great Britain.—Henry Ward Beecher iu Brooklyn Eagle. He ProhaUly Was. “Was the early man a savage?” asks a magazine writer. That depends. IfTHe early man arose at 3 a. m. and rushed around like mad to reach the de;>ot only to find that ho was too early by^iTSmt four hours, it is safe to say that lie was somewhat savage. Formic Acid in Honey. At a recsi^t meeting of the Plij'sirlogical society of Berlin it was stated that when the bee has tilled the cell either with pure honey or a mixture of pollon dough and honey, and bos completed the lid, a drop of formic acid obtained from the [Keson bag connected with the sting is added to tlie honey by perforating the lid with the •ting. Numerous experiments show that this formic acid preserves the honey and every other solution from fermentation. If this be well established it will show tVat the sting and the poison apparatus of the bee V.as a further purpose than that of a defensive er offensive weapon. An other interesting fact suggests itself iu connection with this. So far ns is knows most of t’ae iuoeet* that havo tl.o stinging apparatus similar to that of the bee are collectors and stororu of honey.—Boston budget. ONE OF EDISON’S PROPHECIES.

So.no experiments which ere now m.ik ing on both our elevated 3111 surface roads wl-.Ii a view tp displacin” bon es by electricity promise better thr u uuy of the many attempts irmdo UTiring^ii'c last leu years. I remember Edison telling me one futryday at Menlo Park in J'<7‘J that he thought theiuv-.ntors of tho world had yet ten year i’ work to do before an electric motor wimld be ready to do the work on short lines of railroad. He had not the slightest doubt of the ultimate success of •ilich a motor, ami proved bio own, faith iu the future by investing a largo sum o' money iu crperimeuts with a motor of his own upon a nu’.. '.".irk be built out at Menlo park. Ills dogged pc..— ' ' T in this particular direction does not see n to have availed him much, although the same will which enabled him to work for three days and nigh is without sleep, go to bed exhausted for two days and then resume work has ended inr fortune through the success of his light. He said at the time: “As compared with some of our problems in electricity, the making of a practical nnd economic motor is merely a matter of detail. There are more than a hundred ingenious inventors at work upon the problem .and not a month jmsses but some little seep in ad vance is made. One man finds a better method of construction, another devises an efficient brake, another reduces the ec«t of the parts; one man simplifies here, another man improves there; and looking r.t the motor iu its imperfection of to-day I should say that by 1890 at tlie latest we shall see it running noiselessly and swiftly iu every largo city, doing the work of thousands of horses witho it noise, smoke or dust and at leas expense.” This was nearl3' ten years ago nnd since then I have kept a pf.'tty sharp eye upon ^ull thgt Imp been done In this direction. all tiiat ims neen gone in tins miccuon. counrun, containing 31 K.disolr himself, TTOpTfen Fifew m«i-l>a$tr qt.»*rt)<rnrtPd by itm4* ja this country have done much; but, judging by some motors sent over hen- very recently and now being used experi mentally ou our surface roads, the for- ei : -fnei“ have got ahead of ua. A car now running cn the Eighth avenue read goes all day with the electric power stored iu >0x03 underneath the floor. It is stopped and starred fur more easily than is the case with horses, and the cost of charging and interest on the plant is said to ho less than the cost for horses^ The same in ventor who brines this car over says that the running of light carriages by elec tricity is an easy matter compared with the running of horse ears, and that a buggy can lie fitted up with a motor at no groat cost, nnd can easily carry a charge of electricity for a fifty mile run. When the fifty w'les of electricity, so to speak, are exbau'.cd it will be necessary to vuu the buggy to soinuYiynamo station for a now supply.—“H., Jr.” in Brooklyn Eagle. Ixtok to Totir Chimneys. Chimneys ought to be examined fre quently to make sure that there are no cracks in them. It is an excellent plai. to have the chimney so constructed that it rr. never concealed by the wall of a room, thus preventing a thorough exami nation of it. A house often settles, and this cracks the chimney, but the crack is hidden. By and by fire makes its /ray out, and a “m}'sterious fire” results. All chimnej's ought to be well plastered with good mortar outside and in when they are built, and the w*,rk of the mason should bp inspected thoroughly to make sure he does a good job. The chimney should be cleaned at least twice a year. If this is done it will not be likely to “burn out.” If it does get on fire throw a handful of salt into the stove. This will deaden the lire almost immediately. Remember this and it may be of benefit to you.—Ameri can Agriculturist. Our Standing Army. Gen. Sheridan’s report shows that w-e have now less than 23,000 men in our army. Gf these 2,102 are Officers, so that we have an oiE.cer for every 11 men. The highest number of soldiers ever in the army was in 1863. when we had about 500 mev j than 1,000,000. In , .790 there was less than 1,000, and in 1810, shortly before the second war with England, loss than 10,000 men guarded the whole United States. Ten years later 12,000 were suffi cient for all our needs; and in 1848, at the close of the Mexican war, we had less than 50.000 soldiers, and only 100 or so j more officers than we have now. In 1861 | the army jumped quickly from 12,000 to 180,000 men. It increased right along up to 1863, when it reached the enormous figure above stated.—Frank G. Carpenter. my office.
