ON A RUSSIAN CONVICT SHIP.
Horrors ot the Voyate from OAem ta
the Island ot Sakhalin.
The galling of a Russian convict ship
from Odessa for the Island of Saghaiin,
In the Japan Sea, is always an Impres
sive sight The motley crowd, indige
nous to all countries, is of course pres
ent, but there are in addition »any
government officials, full of importance
in their emblazoned uniforms, and
more numerous members of the clergy
attending to perform the ceremony of
sprinkling the ship with holy water,
and to give the inmates a parting bless
ing and a.godspeed. Nothing is done
in Russia without the help of priests,
and a Russian is bathed in holy water
from the cradle to the grave.
The religious ceremony over, It 1«
with a cargo of heavy hearts that the
convict ship—usually built at Glasgow,
by the way—weighs anchor, and de
parts, for even a hardened convict
would prefer serving hlB sentence on
his native soil to dragging out his ex
istence in a foreign land. But, how
ever that may be, the accommodation
for the thousand or more convicts on
board is ample and the arrangements
for their well-being complete. The
food provided is good and wholesome
and it is not an infrequent thing for
people in the saloon—the convict ship
carries ordinary passengers as well as
state prisoners—to ask for convict soup
and rye bread.
All the convicts are in fetters, wrist
and ankle bracelets, with a connecting
chain. These and their half-shaved
heads present a most hideous appear
ance. The daily routine on board is un
varying therefore, to change the mo
notony, the prisoners have resort to all
kinds of devices to make the time pass
away as pleasantly as the circum
stances will allow.
Most lower class Russians are born
card players, so the convicts collect all
the odd scraps of paper they can lay
their bands on. Clubs and spades are
roughly scribbled on these Blips with
the ink supplied for letter writing pur
poses, while to provide hearts and dia
monds o< the requisite color one or
more of the company consents to have
a vein opened. This delicate operation
Is performed with the aid of the tin
spout of a tea can, ground to a sharp
edge on the Iron deck. This impro
vised lancet also does duty as a razor,
serving to remove the remaining hair
from the head of some devout follower
of Islam. The Btakes of the card play
ers are knobs of sugar, saved by rlgor
dub economy at the tea table. When
these fall, bones and odds and ends are
lube-titufed.
' On the fifteenth day at sea the fetters
ire removed. This is, indeed, a day of
rejoicing, and the most hardened crim
inal giveB vent to a sigh of relief at
being released from these hateful em
blems of bondage.
The coveted freedom is not, however,
of long duration. A poor, inoffensive
Crieman Tartar accidentally treads on
the foot of a regular cut throat villain,
to be seized Immediately by the throat.
The cry is Instantly raised that the
Mohammedans are killing the Chris
tians. A general melee ensues, in
which racial hatred is given full play.
The guard Is called out, and, turning
on the hot water hose pipes, which are
kept rea<?y for any emergency, soon
cows the ■combatants. The ringleader Is
placed In Irons and put on dry bread
and water for fourteen days. The Tar
tar Is carried more dead than alive to
the hospital, and the rest, guilty and
innocent alike, are kept in chains and
shackles for the rest of the voyage.—

Experience has indicated an extreme
fatality from sunstroke m perBons us
ing alcohol to excess. The congestion
and vaso motor paralysis, common In
all Inebriates, are both predisposing
and exciting causes for the coma from
the sun's rays. The breaking up the
heat regulating centers of the brain by
alcohol leaves the body powerless to
resist th® sun's rays. Yet this fact is
not very widely recognized, and every
summer the record of such cases be
comes more prominent. Dr. Norton,
in the New York Medical Journal, re
ports 50 cases of sunstroke brought in
to the Presbyterian Hospital with the
following comment: "The use of alco
hol seemed to have a direct unfavorable
influence. The habit was marked in 32
per cent, moderate in 46 per cent, de
nied in 10 per cent, of the remalnng 12
per cent no history could be obtained.
Eight persons were markedly alcohol
ic on admission and of these four died.

A great oortmotiou seems to have taken
place among railway circles, owing to a
contemplated through car service between
the Pacific coast and Chicago which is to
operate one day each week. This is not a
new departure by any means, as the Den
ver & Rio Grande Railroad company and
its connections have been operating a
through car service between the Pacific
and Atlantic coasts, via Salt Lake, Pueblo,
Denver, Kansas City and Chicago for
years, and three days each week, viz:
every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
evening. The cars for this through ser
vice are of the latest Pullman design, and
are supplied with new clean linen and bed
ding throughout. A Pullman porter i- as
signed to each car. These cars are under
the personal supervision of a special excur

passengers are given every comfort and

GREAT ENTERPRISE IN
AMERICA.
LARGE APPROPRIATION BY IM
PERIAL DIET.
INFORM AMERICANS HOW to
MARK TEA.
Several months ago, the Japanese
Tea Guild sent to this country a special
commission, composed of Mr. S. Mit
suhasht, president ot Shizuoka Préfec
toral Assembly, and Mr. 3. Ohara, mem
ber of Japanese parliament, to investi
gate the condition of the Japanese tea
trade in the United States and Canada,
and to co-operate with Mr. T. Furuya
and Mr. T. Mizutany, the American
representatives of the Japanese Tea
Guild, in giving publicity to the merits
of Japanese teas and the method ot
preparing them for drinking which
would insure the best results.
Mr. Furuya and Mr. Mliutanv are
planning to open tea bazars in many ot
the principal cities in the United
Statee and Canada, where ladies can
enjoy a cup of fine Japanese tea made
by experts, and at the same time re
ceive instructions which will enable
them to make it equally well at home.
More than half the tea consumed in
the United States and Canada is of
Japanese growth, yet, the majority ot
Americans apparently do not under
stand how to prepare it so as to de
velop the delicious qualities which It
contains. It is believed by these gen
tlemen that when Americans are in
possession of the secret of making good
tea, the consumption in this country
will fully equal that of Europe in pro
portion. The Japanese government
has appropriated a large fund to aid
the Japanese tea growers and tea mer
chants in prosecuting this educational
work, and it is hoped that American
ladies will be apt students. The main
bureau of the Japanese Tea Guild has
issued an official recipe for making Jap
anese tea. the translation of which is
as follows:
First—Use a small,dry and thorough
ly clean porcelain teapot.
Second—Put in one teaspoonful of
tea leaves for each cup of tea desired.
Third—When using Japanese teas,
pour on the required quantity of fresh
boiled water, and let stand with closed
Ud from 2 to 3 minutes. Never boil
the leaves. In order to retain the nat
ural flavor, Japanese tea leaves should
be kept in tight can or jar, free from
moisture.
Note.—To thoroughly enjoy the nat
ural, delicate, and sweet flavor of Jap
anese teas, neither sugar nor cream
should be used.

The Hideous I)e*non.
A hideous demon goes stalking about.
No finger post is needed to point out
his path. Misery, want, desolation,
poverty, robbery, treachery, arson,sui
cide, and a million kindred curses mark
it at every step. Graves filled with
forms that once walked the earth with
firm and manly tread that bespoke con
sciousness of godlike powers that were
prematurely wrecked and blasted by
the venomous breath of this merciless
monster. Forms of grace and beauty,
filled with souls of purity and loveli
ness, whose mission on earth should
have been to shed the light of truth and
joy and heavenly benediction among
the dark places of earth,but whose pur
ity was soiled; whose beauty turned to
ugliness, whose heaven-born graces
were sacrificed at the shrine of sin, de
bauchery and degradation at the bid
ding of this heartless destroyer Lit
tle graves of Infants, born to gladden
happy homes and to grow up to be or
naments to society, but nipped In the
bud of life by one chilling blast from
the Icy lungB of this insatiate demon.—
