So the chief steward lays in thou- sands of pillow-slips, sheets and towels. These come on board, says the Record, up in a dozen each, and are stored in the linen locker, a cubbyhole of a place on the main deck. The pipes from the engine room through it and keep it hot. There is no danger of linen get- ting mildewed there. The which has been used is thrown into another room, provided with the atmosphere, and is so kept thoroughly dry. Where there are clean napkins every day frequent changes of state- room linen and an everlasting re- of towel racks, the de- upon the locker are very ex- tensive. A liner like the New York puts to sea with about nine thousand serviettes, ten thousand towels, six or seven thousand sheets, eight thousand pillow-slips and about one thousand tablecloths. Most of these find their way to the soiled linen locker in the course of the voyage. When the vessel arrives they are tarted off to a laundry. A SORRY BULLHEAD. I o A. Leave Written ft Ar. Mt .

It is not boiled to a mash as in Eng- land, or as our potatoes are some- times pulped, but, covered with a of water, is fully treated until tho grains are swollen fit to burst yet remain full, intact, soft and rather mealy. The manioc root Is an easier dish to prepare. It is served boiled, as yams and sweet and again as a sort of cold porridge. Native coffee understand how to make, and the aroma is excellent; but tea, you have to look for the brewing of that from start to finish if you a cup. Poultry and game are eaten fresh, and the cooks have a clever withal trick of dipping the dead In boiling water, which enables them to pluck them easily quickly. The preparation for trussing comes later. is no lack of variety at a Malagasy table, but, all the same, you miss the wheaten bread, sugar and condiment when cloyed with rice fowls, and eggs. The fuel is bunch grass, when dry burns fiercely, and settles into a ember that gives off a deal of heat. All tho cooking is done on earthen hearths, the roasting, boiling and baking in big iron pots. Th grass being slightly aromatic, the odor is as agreeable as that of a hard-wood fire.

One Senator had just introduced an old white- haired, benevolent-looking gentle- man to Senator Vest. They were in the senate cloakroom at the time. The white-haired philanthropist had just finished a campaign in Indiana for a seat in the house, and he had been egregiously beaten.

It may not be generally known that Tom's was written when Mrs. Stowe was a resident of Walnut Hills, a suburb of and her husband, Prof. Calvin was connected with Lane Theological seminary. That was be- fore the war, when Cincinnati, in slavery days, was an important on the Ohio river was easily crossed at point, and numerous runaways made their way over from Kentucky and were met in Cincinnati by friends who assisted them in various ways to make good their escape. Among those more or less active in this movement were Mrs. Stowe being a daughter of Lyman Beecher, president of the seminary. There she first imbibed her hatred of slavery, and began work on a newspaper story depict- life among the lowly, that was afterward enlarged to Tom's The house in which she wrote the historic work still stands on Walnut Hills, a modest little home, at which no passer would glance a second time, and all the characters were taken from the ex- of Mrs. Stowe. who saw much of the evils of slavery at that time.
