i VERY DMBSROUS COAST HOBE FATAL TO HUMAN UFE THAM THE FLATS OF AFRICA. rcnua* P*uu A1»H8 the »*«tk mm* Mntk- wnt Share* at VrcBl Brtlalitâ€" B«eb« â- Bd toads Titat arc Every Wtatrr Mrvwn With Wrmkacr. When mention is made of tlie mast deadly coast in tiie world, the loiiula of nine readers out ot ten recur at «nce to the West Coast of Africa, be- tween Cape Blanco and tin mouth of tbe Coago. It is a common saying in British official circles that Sierra Leone always has two GoTemora â€" a live one is Koiogr out to take ofaarge of affairs and a dead one coming home for bur- ial. Miaiona, chills and fever and a doz- en other farms of malarial diseases, in- cluding the terrible African fever, the jungle fever and some peouXiax to tbe region, lie in wait for traveler and na- tive at every turn, and tl>e European wbo ventures into t hat region runs imr minent risk of being attacked witiuu twenty-four inours of his arrival. On some portions of the African coast, the miasma is so deadly, arising as it does from a soU wibich is but a mass ot de- caying vegetable matter, that tor an European to reimain overnight oa the shore means a certain attack of Afri- can fever. The nu^rciiants, seamen, bus- iness agents and others who, from the nature of their calling, are forced oo- ^sionally Co visit this deadly region never spend the night on shore, but, as the sun begins to decline, go off in boats to their ship, and thus escape the miasma. But there is a coast mure deadly still. It is a coast fringing one of the heal- thiest regions on the globe, bordering a land whose inhabitants have, from the earliest times, been noted for their strength and agility. ' IT IS DEADLY not from miasmatic or unheal tbful in- fluence, but from the fact that more wrecks have occurred on its rocks and sanda than in any other similar stretch oi shore am the globe. More deaths occur from shipwreck ua the southern and western shxires of Great Britain every year than froim African fever along the indicated west coast of the Dark Con- tinent, llore mien are exposed to the danger of death on the British coast lines than in any other district, sim- ilar in character, in the world. The southwest coast of England and Wales is probably one of the most diversi- fied to be found anywhere in the world. In aomie places the shores are bold and rocky ; in others, a gentle slope leads from the fertile uplands down to the sea. so gradual being the descent from the shore into the deep, that vessels. even of niediiuu size, are unable lo ap- f roach within two or three miles of he land. Bold headlands, rocky cliffs, and undulating coves conkj in regular succession, from Dover round the coast to Liverpool ; evej y uortiuu of the sea- liue being varied in such a way that no coast m the world is more picture- sque. Kocky headloiud and sandy slope are, however, equally dangerous to a vessel in stormy weiither, lor, whether the ship is dashed to pieces against the rocks or plunges head first Into the sand and is broken up t>y tbe waves, its fate is ttie same. Mure sh^pwreclis occur on the' coast of Ureal Ilritaiu because there are m.ure ve^jsels in those waters than in any others. No one who reads at all needs to be told of the immense foreign commerce carried on by Great Britain. England is not only tie mer- chant of the world, but the world's car- rier, and so large a proportion of the freight of other nations is transferred by Great Biitain, and. at one point or another, touches British territory, that England may without much danger of 4x>niradictiun be termed the freight agent of nations. Nine-tenths of the immense commerce of Great Britain , passes Liloag the southern, we3tern,and southwestern shores, and the dangers of ordinary tran^Kirtation by sea are »nhanced in this region by the char- icter of THE PREVAIUNG WINDS. In that quarter of the world the winds are generally frotn the soulhweat, most of th<; burrioanes which visit the coast of the British Isles have come across the Atlantic from, the West Indies, fol- lowing in their course the Gulf Stream, and crossing the Atlantic in the same general dii-ectiou. The current of the â- ulf Stream sets directly toward the British Islands from the open sea, and wind and current, therefore, combine to make more perilous the navigation of those waters. Since the days oi ; steam, ships are no longer at the mer- I cy of wind and wave ; the steamera ' which ply to and fro across the Allan- â-  tic, trusting to the strength of their ! build and the power of their engines, i deliberately nlow through the heart of ! the severest narricane. rather than in- j cur a few hoijrs" delay by turning asale i to avoid the blast ; they are not like- i ly to be driven ashore by either wind , or current, but coasting 9teamersJ;raiuip ! steamers and the vast fleet of fishing vessels which swarms along the British coast are not so fortunate, and not a year passes withiout scores of wrecks and the loss of hundreds of lives. There are many places along the cqast where ! the water, generally calm, under the | influence of storms, breaks into eddies I and local currents, sometimes very pow- erful, which drivee ships on rocks be- fore the luckless biariners are aware I of the full extent of their danger. There are several of these etldies and whirls near the southwestern pt>int of the island. At the southwestern ex- tremity of England, where Cornwall runs into the sea, tlitrti is a rocky pen- ! insula known as Land's End. Once a • range of mountains, the huge cliffs have long since been abraded by the action of wind and water, until now a cluster of sharp steeple-like rocks runs down into the sea, and the ship unlucky eu- | ough to approach too close is almost i inevitably wrecked. The danger, how- | ever, is not confined to the great point- | ed rocks, for a little further up the | coast there is a certain cove known to < every st^aman as a j PLACE OF DEADLY PERIL. It is a small hay, inclosed on three sides by cliffs, but for some unexplained rea- son, during very high winds, a pow- erful cui^rent sets into the oove.at one side and passes out at the other. It is said that sixty vessels, grea4: and anail. have been wrecked in tius cove during the present <«ntary. and rarely does a winter puss with'>ut a diseister of .some kind being reported from Land's End. Another very dangerous region is the neighborhood of Holyhead, at the north- west comer of Wales. As every one knows, Wales itself is a sort of pen- insula jutting out from the west coast of England, but from ]VIilfard Haven to Holyhead in fact, clear around the coast to the entrance of the Dee, there is scarcely a stretch of a dozen miles famous tubular btUl^a. Holyhead is itself an island, and separated frran the Island of Anglesea by a very narrow strait, Anglesea beinij separated from Wales by Menai Strait, crossed by the famous tubular bridgea. Holyhead is therefore, an island beyond an island, and the last point of land on the joor- ney from England to Ireland. The London and Northwestern Railway runs through North Wales, cras.>ies the ilen- ai Strait, passes oveir to Holyhead, and there swift steamers receive passengers for the four hours' run a-cross the Irish Sea to Dublin. The shores of both of the islands and of Wales are exceed- ingly rocky, often remarkably precip- itous, and although every means bos been used to make the coast safe, still many wrecks occur At the south entrance of the Menai Strait, and on the mainland of Wales, stands the great castle of Carnarvon, built to command the strait and prevent the entrance of hoetile vessels,^ as well as to repress the mountain Welsh in the Snowden district. It is one of the liest examples of mediaeval fortifica- tion. Built in the thirteenth century I'y Edward I., every resource of mili- tary art was exhausted to make the castle secure, and so strong was it deemed that it was never attacked EITHER BY SEA OB LAND, and. while the Welsh, from time lo time, devastated all the coast line held by the English, and besieged and cap- tured more than one fortress built to hold them in check, they, never ventur- ed near Carnarvon. In "good weather the entrance to the Menai Strait is not dangerous, but in bad it was formerly mucli dreiided by mariners. The »tr'*'' was once a short cut between the s<juth- weatern and not h western coasts of England, but when the Menai bridge was built ships of larger size took the outer sea route, and now very Ut- ile commerce, practically none at all. passes through the strait. Once famous tor its wrecks, during high winds fish- ing vessels lieing sometimes dashed to pieces against the walls of the Castle ot Carnarvon, it has for a considerab.e time iwen free from such disasters. Ctaly an occasional ship, the captain of which has mistaken his jeckooing or 'wen driven out of his course by the hi"'''^" cane, comes to ruin in the neighliorhooil of Carnarvon. At the north end of the Menai Strait there is another town. Conway, once famous, not only for its shipping and trade, but for the danger- ous coast. Conway Castle was another of the c<mstructious of Edward 1.. and the neighljorhood is full of stories and traditions relating to the days of the war which resulted in the final sulv jugation of the Wejsh. Not far from Conway Is the Bard's Bock, from which, it is said. Edward had the Welsh liards thrown into the sea. hoping, by depriv- ing bis enemies of their poefa. lo les-sen. if not to break, the military spirit among them. The vicinity is beauti- ially diversified; hill and dale, moan- tain and valley, rugged crag and rocky glen and rippling stream making this )art of Wales one of the most l*au- tifui in the principality. Not far frcxn Conway is the Kairy Glen. or. rather one ot the fairy glens, for there are twenty or more In Wales, and for each is claimed the distinction that it was the last spot where the fairies had a local haixtation and a name. THE SOUTHERN COAST of England is not so deadly as the western, but not a year passes when wrecks do not occur at some point be- tween the Isle of Wight and Dover, and Shakespeare's cliff, made memora- ble by the immortal bard, has more than once had its Ijttse strewn with the wreckage of a ruined vessel. -Al- though every winter storms and wrecks occur along the south and west coast, there have lieen some years distinguish- ed alx>ve all others by phenomenal dis- aster. The great storm of U03. although nearly two centuries have passed since it occurred, is still remem- bered as one of the most terrible in history. Over 8,000 seamen were lost ; k\Al WASHING ELANXp;,^, . There are few things more annoying to even phenomenally patient mortals than the discovery that their flannel;^ are growing beautifully leas with each .-mcoessive visit tf> the Laundry. Thii tendency to shrinkage on the part of tlannels has been a bocm to the funny men on the cooiic papers, but to oth- ers a source of woe. Many hou.sekeepers otherwise experi- enced and careful, have very vague ideas as to the necessity of varying pr»j- cesses for the cleansing of different fa- brics. Perhaps, then, says a writer on this subjecct in Harper's Oizar, a lit- tle conference together on the texture and unregenerate tendencies of woolens may show the reasons for certain rules that should always he otiserved in the washing of flanneija if you would have them keep their original color, size, and softness. If you should examine the filler of ivool through a microecope, you would discover a aeries of tiny irregular sheaths with serrated edges, all run- ning in the same direction. With the application of heal these microscopic sheaths expand and reach over one an- other; but with an exposure to a lower change o€ temperature they hurriedly contract, catching and knotting and palling each other, producing the ef- fect known as "fulling." Twisting, wringing, or rubbing Qannel vigorously also tends to^langle the little .scales, and to giv« to the article an unplea- antly diversified surface. In the first place, shake the diLst thoroughly from each article before washing, â€" and you will be amazed, by the way. at the capabilities of one small garment in the way of holding extraneous .^matter. Then make a, strong soap solution by boiling half a cake of any pure relioJile soap ta water enough to dissolve it. Add this, with one tablespocmful of borax or four ta- bleHpoonfuIs of liquid ammonia, to half a tub of water just hot enough to bear the hand in it comfortably. Put the white and ^ray flaonehs in and cover. an the retamed st«am aid.i in soften- ing and removing grease. After a half hour's soaking wrish out. drawing the fabric back and furth 'Jhrougb the hands, but on no account putting soap on the garment or robbing it on the board. It very much soiled, wash in two suds, Ijeint' extremely careful that the temper.! are of the water re- mains the same, [f any spots are par- ticularly difficu't alxnit coming out. they can be laid . a the board and rub- -ted with a soft brush. Then rinse through two wa ers. still of the same lecupemture, Iwijig careful that all the suds are ou'. In washing baby flannels add a vi-ry little blueing to the last rinsing .valer. Shake, .stretch out. pass careful I., through the wringer without twisting: and hang length- wise to dry in v. irm sunshiny air, or e'iSe in the latmi'i-y. Never hang them in cold or frosty air. as that would sorely shrink them. When nearly dry, they can Ije pivaied gently with a moderately warm iron ; but do not shove the iron uver them, nor use a very hot iron, as you do not wish to generate steam. All kinds oi" woulevjs can <» washed in the same way. only in worsted goods do am wriiifi:, ><ut lei them hang and drain. While still a little damp bring in and prees smoothly with an iron as hot as you can use without scorching the goods. To wash f!.annels that have become yellow. )x>U four tablee|K>onfuls of flour in four quarts of water, stirring thor- oughly. Pour half the liquid while SI ill warm over the flannels, letting them stand half an hour covered. Rub the flannel with the hands. )>ut use no soap. Rinse the flannel in several clear waters of the same temperature. Then beat the n>maLoder of the liquid, pour over the flannel again, and pro- ce*!>.l as l*fore. rinsing thoroughly ; then bang out to drain and dry. SOME SUGG ESr IONS FOR MOTHERS. When we realize how much of the physical, mental, and moral welfare of tlie child depends upon the care and training of the first few years of bis | life, we begin to appreciate the dignity { and resptvnsibiility of motherhood. House'worji, fancy work, social duties, or anything eilsa that would engage a womam's time and thought to tne neglect of the little ones, should lake a secondary place. This does not mean that he shall be held in your arms or rocked most of the time. Too much attention of this kind wiiU make a little tyratit of the best baby in the world. But he should be made com- fortable, fed, bathed and dressed be shouild be fed every two or three hours. Yoa may them be sure when he eriee that it iii oat because he is himgry, and he will not be likely to eat too miiub, which is oft.^a the cause of severe attacks of coflic. After he has passed his eighth mouth lie will :>;lish well cooked, rice, oatmetLl or mashad potatoes, but these ibjngs should b«. added to his regtular di»t of laetateff food very gradually. He sthuuid not have candy, preserves, or riah pastry, and the digestive organs shouHd never be overloadetL "Feed often and a little at a time, at regiUar intervals," is a fam- ous nurse's rule for healthy liabies. In spite of the best of care, some children will occasionally have the colic. To cure it, lay him face downward up- uu a piliow tihat is as hot as he can bear it. Give him two or three drops of peppermant, to which a Utile wa- ter has been added. If he is suffering from a cold, strip tihe little feet, and hold them out before the fire half an hour or more. Hub his cheat with goose grease, oiive oil or lard, and give him a little hot milk. When the per- spiration L9 started wrap him in a wool- en blanket and put him to bed. The cold will be better in hhe morning. MlAAY. SOME EXCELLENT CAKES. Lightning Cake.â€" Ha4f pound butter, half pound granulated sugar, three eggs, half pound flour, rind of one lem- on. AIinan<ls. Beat the butter and sugar together until very light, then add the eggs well l)eaten. stir in very gradually toe flour, also the grated rind of a lemon. Have large flat pans and spread the batter, very thinly on them (aboat (me-third of an inch thick), then scatter mixed sugar and cinna- mon and small pieces of blanched al- monds oa top. Bake a light brown. When <lone, cut in pieces and detach carefully from the pen. Keep in a dry place. Scotch* Cake for Five O'clock Tea.â€" One pound flour, half pound butter, six ounces white sugar (granulated). Rub the flour and butter well together with the hands, add the sugar. Bake in a quick oven, and bake in small squares w^hile hot. Cream Cake.â€" Beat one tablespoooful of butter, the yolks of two eggs and three-fourths of a cupful of sugar to- gether, until light ; then add one cup- ful of water ; add one teoapoonf ul of liaking powder to one or one and a fourih ctipfuls of flour and sift care- tudly. Stir thi:* into the other mix- ture and beat thoroughly : then stir in the well beaten whites of the ^gs. and bake in two or three layers. 'This may lie put together with soft icing or with a mixture of fruit and icing. Rolled Jelly Cake. â€" Separate four eggs. I)eat the yolks and two-ihirds of a cupful of powdered sugar together until verr light, beat whites, stir them in carefully, and then sift in, mixing slowly, two-thirds cupful of pastry flour. Into which has been sifted half- teaspooofuL liakijig powder, "rurn in a flat Ijakin^ pan and bake in a quick oven fifteen minutes. Turn out, and while hot, spread with jelly. With a kuL^e handle br«ak the edges and ri>ll at once. When ready to serve, cut in thin slices, arrange m a glass dish, heap around whipped cream. Currant Lmf.â€" Rub a quarter of a pound of butter into one quart of flour; then add a half-cupful of sugar, dissolve one yeast ca^e in two tablestxM>nfuls of warm water ; odd to it a pint of milk that has Ijeen scalded and cooled ; stir these into the Uour aucL stand aside in a warm place for two hours. This should be a batter not a dough. It you use spring wheat flour you may possibly hove To use a half-cupful oit extra milk. When very light stir in three eggs, well tjeaten, and a cupful of cleansed .and floured currants; turn into a greased, round cake pan, and stand aside for two hours ; then bake in a medium hot oven three-quarters of an hour. ' Tested Doughnuts. â€" Beat two eggs with a half-cupful of sugar until light, add a cupful of milk, then stir suffi- cient flour to make a l>atier ; l>eat thoroughly ; add a table^nuonful of melted butter and a ceaspoouful of liaking powder : now go on adding flour until you have a soft dough. Do not knead it, but fold it over together, then roll out on the l)oard. Cut it into doughnuts, and drop hastily in- to smoking hot fat. Let them fry carefully on one side, turn and fry on the other. tv^lve men-of-war were blown ashore with over l.HOO men on board. The Ed- dystone lighthouse, which was deemed impregnable against either wind or wave, was blown down, and its builder perished with it. In 1794 another sm?at storm prevailed on the west coast/and nearly tiOO ships are said to have lieen destroyed. In l^'iS thirteen vessels were driven aground in the harlor of Ply- mouth alone, and from Land's End to Dover nearly 20() ships went ashore.^ ^ In 1839 so terrible a storm prevailed' promptly, ajid with the utmost regu that from Dover to Holyhead there was larity.

At par- ticularly dangerous places there are life-saviug statii>ns with life Ixwts and crews, whose only duty it is lo patrol the coast, watch for wrecks and aid steamers in distress. At some places the boats are manned by volunteers. who are afterward paid tor their work, but in the great majority of easea the men are regularly engaged for' this es- peoially dangerous service. In spite however, of the aids exten'ed *>y the Government in these and dther direc- tions, the British coast .-â- .ill remains, and probably always will lie. the most deadly coast in the v'./rld. s milk is the best food for the baby, but if the mo- ther is sick or iu a debiiiatated cundi- lioD, her miik is almost sure to dis- agree wiuh her chiii'd, and a change must be made. 1 have found laciated food very poiatablo aud pertei-t in its results, and have raised inrve healthy, hearty babies ui>on it.

Discard the bot- tle and rubber nipples as soon as he is old eaou4''h to drink from a spoon or cup, which are much safer to use be- cause ibey are easier to keep olean, and they will save a great deal of work.

For the first six month* of his life No one disputes the fact that birds of all species in their wild state take their food, be it grain, animal or vege- tal>>e. in a raw state â€" in a wild state for that tuatter ; but our poultry has Ijeen bred so far from their natural condition, and so much more is requir- ed of them, in egg production, weight of carcass or early maturity, that they are entitled upon to live and work at high pressuire. and must have their wants, alvDormall though they lie, sup- plied iu keeping with the requirements. One wiiy to do this is to cook part of tlieir food; this ailone adds variety if we uae but one grain aud feed part of it raw an\i ,iart of it cooked. Fowls prefer som^ foods cooked i..^'.

We suppose there Ls not a resident of Newmarket who does not know Mr. J. X. Molfatt. who doeo not know of his years of suffering and who haa not heard of hifi release from a life of helpleflsness and pain through the medium of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Indeed we doubt if in the rumals of medicine there is a more remarkabls restoration than has l:een accomplish- ed in Mr. Moffatt'a case, and he deems it his duty to mankind to make tha facts known through the columns of the Advertiser. Ten years ago Mr. Moffatt was work- ing in the Newmarket Hat Factoty. Through the influence of the damp room, and possibly some carelesBneas in regard to his health, he was »V tacked with a severe cold which evenl» ually settled in hia limlw. for soma years he was an almost oonstant suf- ferer from rheumatic pains and spejM much money in treatment for tM trouMe. but with no result beyond ao occasional temporary release from pain. Finally to make matters wont ne was attacke^l with malaria and rheu- matic feTer. He was then forced to go 10 the Toronto General Hospital when it was found that he was afflujt«4 wi;.b torticollis (wry neck). Durina the first six months in the hospital he was under the treatment of tha staff electrician, btit the powers of electricity eniirely failed, and after a ci/osultation of physicians it was deemed advisable to perform an operation. SU weeks later a second operation was per- formed. The operation proved itw- oessful only in so far as they, afforded temporary relief. He remained in tbf hospital from Novemiwr, 1S90. till Joa- uary. 1892, and with all the models remedies and appliances known to tlM stalf of that well equipped institution no permanent relief could be obiaiii*<l. He was then advised to go hocne. partl7 in the hope that the change mignc prove beneficial, but instead be coq^ linually grew worse, and in MarcS. 1892. was again forced to take to hL» bed. and those who knew of his condi- tion did not brieve he had long tp live. At this time every joint in his body was swollen and distorted and be su^ fared the most eiLTUciating agony If a person walked across tws bedroom it intensified the pain as though he wa« being pierced and torn with knives, and if touched be would scream aloud with agony. In this state of hopeless suffering he rem-iined Iwdtast for eigh- teen m'jnthis, all Che while using all manner of medicines from which relief might be hoped for. Then he was put under the treatment of a â-  celebrated Toronto apeciaiist. but with no better result. After this last experimept tailed, he determined to try Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, at the same time dis- continuing at I other treatment. At the end of three months there was a very noticeable improvement in his con- dition, and so much so that his moth- er thought he could be lifted outside. He was st^J so weak, however, that he was only able to remain up a few min- utes OS l>efore. When taken liark to bed he fett a sudden tingling -sensation going up from his toes and through his joints and spine. rbe next morn- ing when be awr>ke the [<ains had left the body and lodged in the arms, and then for some weeks the pain flitted from place to place in the arms and then disappeared, and he has not bad a particle of pain since. .\ll this time he WBS taking Dr. Wiiiams" Pink Pills and siow-ly but surely regaining liis strength. Then an invalid's chair was procured, and he was wheeled out. eventually he was able to wheel him- self alx>ut. The continued use of the Pink PiCis constantly added to his strength, and then the chair was dis- carded for crutches, aud then the crutches for a cane. At this time. Sept. 1895. Mr. Moffatt had so far re- covered that he was a frequent con- tributor to the columns of the Adver- tiser and procuring a horse and '>uggy he xvas engaged as 'tx-al reporter fcr the paper. I'he once utterly helpless invalid is no^v able to go about, and to get iu antl out of his buggy without f,ny assistance, and is at his peat of .iuty whenever ca.lled upon. Thus wo ti.ii thj.r ifter years of suf- fering and he.' j>l»*^ne.ss Dr. Williams' Pink Pi; Is hiive ^..cvcd !"jece«sful after all other remedies and the \mit ot medicail treatment had utterly failed. With such marvellous cures as this to its credit it is no wonder that Dr. 'Wi;- Hams" Pink Pills is the most popular medicine with all classes threughiiut the .»nd, and this case certainly justifies tht* ctiim put forth on its behalf that it "cures when other meilictnes fail."
