Indedd, all classes would be greatly benefitted by its use, and dyspepsia, with all its manifola .annoyances, can be kept at a safe dis- e tauce. Oatmeal is most substantial I food; it is equal to beef or mutton, giv- ? ing as much or more mental vigor while t its great advantage consists of one's not 1 becoming weary of it, for it is as wel- N come for breakfast or tea as is wheat or Graham bread. It can be eaten with syrup and butter as hasty pudding, or r with c eam and sugar, like rice. It is k especially good for young mothee up on whose nervous forces too great a do. k mand has been made, when they lose a the equilibrium of the system and, be- i come depressed and dispir,ited. Oat meal requires to be cooked slowly, andr the water should be boiling hot wheln it I is stirred in. I N Tur cranberries for malaria. Try a sun-bath for rheumatit in.

And this day certainly in ended to place itself on record with those of ts predocessors marked stormy, its nasti oss in wind and weather giving all hands n board the flagship their filll in hard work nd discomforts. The record of the Nonal n this cruise, which she was now complot ng on her homeward bound passage to Bos on, had been most disagreeable, when con idored in the light of heavy weather work. 'rom Suez to Adon, then on to Bombay, 'oint do Gallo, Singapore Hong Kong, Ihanghai, Nagasaki and Yokohana, the alanco sheet stood largely in favor of old eptuw-''s rough characteristics, but with inarkablo evenness the health and original ostor of the ship's company stood this day s it did noarly three years ago-with one xception. Throughout the dliverso and aried exposures incideital to cruising over ho Asiatic station, whero cholera fevers, vor complaints, malaria, and colds of all ogroos reign in full force, none of the er.w ad suffered more than temporary iticon enience, and thus it scomed very hard that ow, in the closing days of the cruise, thoro toed nino chainces for, to one against, a vie t>ry being at last. scored for the destroying ugol Death.

So thought tio medical oflcers, but with a quiet thouglh isidious progression, this cold clung to thte dmiral in spite of their best efforts to orad ,sto it, and when the time caino for leaving 'okohama, homoward bonad, the admiral ro liz.-d that his lungs and throat were docid dily out of order.

This idea met with approval from all Wh9toIotp Brawn walked oft tir an. interview with the admiral's son, with no little anxiety in his good heart as to the re sult of his mission. Approaching the lieu tenant, Brown saluted, and asked for per mission to state his reasons for doing so. This was readily granted, and Brown spoke out. "Seeing that I was once cured of oon eumption, lieutenant, I make bold to ask if I can tell you how, an' why I've the roa- 1 sons for wishing you to use on your father what was my salvatiop." In a few moments the lieutenant had Brown's story out, and much to the latter's gratification, granted a ready permission to him. It did not take Brown long to run to his ditty box, got tho bottles of medicine, and return to th'e lieutenant with them. " I'm afeared that the doctors will " kick ng'in the use of this blessed stuff, an' what will you do. sir," said Brown. as he placed the medione in the cain ord ysy*, arnds to be taken into the admiral's room. "I will attend to that, Brown, and rest as aured that your remedy will have a fair trial in spite of any apposition. It will notharm my father, judging from your statement and the opinion of the Medical officers of the Uanger." n " Thank you, eir, an' God help the admiral e to weather his trouble, is the vrayer of all a the ship," said Brown, as the lieutenant turned to enter the cabin.

Is not this a far easier lan than'early and often plowing dur ag the entire summer?" The field thus forked yields no crop, whereas on the lover method there is a crop of hay to 'ay for the labor, while the land which as been two seasons in clover is left in 'rime condition for a wheat crop or any thor grain crop.
