Two boys going home one day, found a box
in the road and disputed who was the finder.
They fought whole afternoon without com
ing to decision. AT last they agreed to di-
vide the contents equally; but on opening the

UsRFuI REcIPE.-I send you below, Messrs
Editors. a recipe for making composition
which will render wood entirely incombustible.
II is very simply prepared, and quite easy OF
application, being used the same as paint, with
an ordinary brush. A good coat of it applied
10 the floor underneath stoves would be an ex
ceent precaution.
Take quantity Of water, proportioned TO
the surface of wood you may wish TO cover and
add 10 it as much potash as can be dissolved
therein. Whenthe water will dissolve no more
rotash, stir into the solution, LIST, quantity OF
-four paste of the consistency OF common
PAINTERS size; End, asuilicient quantity OF pure
clay TO render it of the consistence OF cream.
When the clay is well mixed, apply the pre-
paration as before directed to the wood; 1t will
secure il from the action Of both fire and rain.
In a most violent fire, wood thus saturated
NAV be carhonated, but will never blaze.
ii desirable, most agreeable color can be
given TO the preparation by adding small
quantity of red or yellow echre.
IL might also be useful for you to mention in
your paper, especially at this season Of high
winds, that handful or two OF sulphur thrown
on the fire when a chimney is burning out, will
almost lnstantaneously extingush the flames.

servant, suddenly started, snapped the shafts,
and Immediately dashed off, dragging the driver
out by the reins, who fell with SO much violence
as TO break his collar bone, two or three of his

he expired in about an hour afterwards. The

Showing nm increase in five years, of 1925
horsheads. and 33,637 barrels. Nearly the
whole of this article is shipped coastwise, and
we believe is chiefly used in the distillation Of
Rum.
These tables show to what great extent the
commerce of New Orleans has increased during
few years past; it may also give us some idea
of the vast resources of the West, and enable Us
to form some conception of the future greatness
of that fertile portion of country. When we re-
fleet that these data are taken during time OF
unexampled commercial prostration, our won
der will be increased. Progressing as she does
the day is not far distant when New Orleans

was Cu--aru who sustained his authority.
Power was accorded to devil Cu-i-ayu

as we should say. Nlateva offered turtles
to Cu-aru. 1t was to him ard to Cean-

also powerful god. Angaiatuorkave con-

of Ceikatoara. The god of Atikula was

ACCOUNT OF FUNERALS AT MANGAREvA.
When person dies, it is announced in
lond voice. The eldest son of the deceased
sends an express to Aorgorougo, Ga kind Of
crier or public wceper) The Aongorougo
goes then to announce publicly the death of
hls father. Once the news known, they
form two choirs, and sing chants Of regret
and love--and their chants who can de-

place. The father whose son should refuse
hm this honor, would no. enjoy the dis
course of his god; on account of the indit-

to be alone.
Another thing which relates to their Gus
toms, is the Conga which they offer TO a
powerful god,
