Woet India Docks.
You approach the West India Docks
through the Great Eastern Railway Com
pany's terminus at Fenchurch street; and
nowhere in Englana are railway appoint.
ments more abominable. Greasy platforms
under rickety sheds; trains like that "at ring
of second-hand coffins" in which Artenus
Ward travelled to the south; servants who
look as if they had been rigged out Lt ran
dom by contract with the second-hand slop
dealers in floundsditch. The mixture of
your fellow-pussenger is picturesque, though
yon may be surprised to meet most of them
in first-clas carriages; and already you are
conscious of soine reflections of the sunshine
of Eastern lands. The diamond that adorns
the middle finger of that shipbroker oppos
Ito has a barbaric look; and the talk of the
gentleman in shaggy pilot cloth, with the
slight gold circlets in his rosy ear, is of reefs
in the Red Sea and the bars of Chinese riv
er. it is characteristic by the way that
ho presses a full flavored manilla on the
good-humored woman who is hugged under
ids arm and who is evidently his lawful
wife; while as for the lady, she bites the
end of the cigar as if she were used to it,
and laughingly proceeds to light the weed
at her lord's. The steep descent from the
platform of the dock station is like diving
down the companion hatch into the fore
castle, except that you .energe into space
and comparative light. The sun is blinking
lebly through a watery fog, and as yet the
scene is intensely British. There is a cease
less roll of heavy traille on the thorough
fares; the driver of the trucks and wagons
and frollios are swearing with Anglo-Saxon
energy as they choke in the gulf stream be
fore the narrow bridges; 'there are gangs of
laborers busy under the cranes that creak
hoarsely from the dock lofts overhead. As
you pass the gates where the policeman
stand sentinel, the first appearances are de
cidedly depresLsing. Considering the damp
that pervades the murky atmospheis, you
do not wonder that the adjacent ptublic
houses are doing a lively trade. Dimly
through the veil of vapor you distinguish
the masts and spars of the tier of shipping,
while the solid cordage of their riggings
shows like the delicate tracery work ini a
cobweb.
But, in connection with the East, what
strikes ove inost in the docks nowadays
especially in the Victoria )ocks-is the eln
ormious number of Oriential seaman. All
the steamers passing through the Suo. Canal
are manned by crews of Lascars; and the
Canal and the Lascars together have wrought
a comnplete revolution in the Easterni trafllc.
Within the memory of man It has passed
through three distinct stages. First were
the goiden days of tho East India Company's
navy, when happy offiial were shaking
the pagoda ti-ve, and 11reights oi eles
value were being shipped frotm a count,ry
that was popularly believed an El )orado.
The very pickings of the trade were so val
liable that a captain could gaiml a comlpet
oncy in a single trip ; and we believe that,
after making the fortune that three voyages
hufiilred hiil, he was coiplle(d to retirt, iII
favor of his juniors. The came avgho-n and
his exploration of the Overland route, and
the establishing of the Peninsuh 1aI(l OrieIt -

whom tino seemed valuable and who did
not gi udge the prices of the new route. The
Peninsular and Oriental Company for years
had a nonopoly of aristocratic b1siness:

A millionaire who lived and dhied in the
vicinity of New Yoi-k, as lie felt his last
days drawing nigh, stIummoned( a (listins
gulieh neIghbor and1( lawyer, who sine
has occupiedl oneoOf the highest posit ions in
the gift of representatives of the people,'to
prepare a last will and testamsent. When
the will was driawmi thle dym-g miii said:
"I aropose to miake yous msy excutor, and1(
I shall require no bond fi-om y'oui. WVrite
thatalso.'IThe ox-Judge complied, after
thanking hsis client, and psroisedt to exe
cute the will to the best of his ability.
"What is your bill for dirawing up my
will?" asked -hie millionaire.
"Oh, under the circumstances, of course
I shall charge you nothing," was the an
swer.
"But," said the other, "that is not may
way of docing business. Make out and re
ceipt a bill for your- services and( I will pay
you now,"
"Wt,ell, since you insist, I will make
out a bill for a nominal sum-say $25."
And this mnember-of the lBar, who seldom
draws breath without charging some one
for the respiration, madec out amnd receip)tedl
for $25, a bill which under othier circum
stances would have been $500.
'The good man died andi wasq bum-lcd,
when the will was read it was foumnd that
the name of Isis son had beetn Inserted In
place of that of the distinguishied lawyer.
The ruling passion was strong In death.
The mans who know howv to accumuislate

1eCtItlg a cutting, a great, deal depends
upon t,he judiCi4ous ehoce; it'the sli) is
too youting and fill of fresh sap, it will

if it is too old, hard and woody-it
will take a great while to strike root.
You niust take a cutting that Is per

It is also essential to have a bud or Joint
at or iar the end of tihe cutting, as all
roots strike I'roi it, and the nearer It is
to the base the greater your chance of
success. Pihint your cuttings in comn
mton red pots, tilled half lull of rich
loam and two inches of rand on

sea sand) ; wet tills thoroughly, and
put tie cut,till close around the edge

tirily planted, cover them with a glass
shade if possible, as It will greatly pro

1itr*e, light Itid heat, are the three es
sentials to plant life; without them no

that they season everythluing vell. They
use a'variety of herbs and spices by no

and little till they have a good variety.
in the season who sweet herbs are
plentiful iII market It is easy to get
sage, min11t, sweet majoram, thyme,
sweet basil, bay leaves. parsley, celery
seed and tat-ragoin. From one bunch
of tarragon a gallon of that desirable
sauce could be made. By rubbing tho
dried leaves of herbs through a sieve
and corking them up in air tight ves
se8s, they will retain their flavor foi
many months, and Uy drying the
leaves and roots of the celery and pars

and rtibbing the leaves through a sieve,
and then corking theml, up tightly, they
can be kept a a llavoring from teason

"WELL, how are you?" Inquired a
doctor, as hie stood by the arm-chair of
his patient, an old man who was troub
led with deafness. "Oh, very bad,"
was the reply ; "I can scarcely hear a
sotnd." "W ll,'' remarked the doctor,
"yoll know how often I have impressed
uipon you that you uust give tip stirits.
Do that and you will get all right."'
And away lie went. A fortnight later
he palid ls pliatient, another visit, and
initared after hils alment. "You doii 't
ieed to tiiotit so, doetor."' said the old
man, iraselbly. "I have followed your
advice, have given up mlly grog, and I
cani hear perfectly." A week later the
medIcal m1an paid his patient yet an
other visit, and .found him almost stone
deaf once more. "Ahi." said the
former, "I suipposo you have been in
diliging againl."1 "Well, doctor,"' anl
swered the patient, "' mist confess I
have, for I didn't consider all that I
heard worth a single glass of brandy
