Baking OF Hon4Es.-We have always
looked upon the habit of baking in horses as
ncurable. We have seen lately stated, that
the Mexicans overcome this propensity by the
following kindly treament:-"The driver ap.
proaches the head OF the horse, pats him gent
iy on the neck and head. speaking soothingly
to him all the while; after few minutes,
when the horses sulky humour somewhat
subsidies, the driver commences TO blow very
gently upon the horses nostrlIs which he con-
tnues to do for few minutes, then soothes
and pats him ogair, and repeats the blowing
upon the nobtrs when il is said the animal will
be found to be subdued. This Is the plan, as
also stated by Catlin, lhat,he buffalo calves are
tanned by the Indians, whether it will prove
successful in conqnerng this radical fault IN
the horse, we know not; it moy, however, be
worth the trial. So far as our experience goes
kindness is one of the best corrcctives oil bad
habits. either n man or beast, and II may be
that the gentle treatment indicated above may
be elleacious."

A Peep AT Guan0--wherc Gatnefed

Having anchored between The north ana
middle island at the later OF which we are to
load we will borrow the boat and have clo-
ser look at the huge mnck heap. Putting a.
round the island to the landing place,we step a
shore on narrow strip OF sandy beach Which
appears To be cleared from the surrounding
rocks for our especial convenience. Our ap.
pearance disturbs thousands oftbe web-footed
natives; these thousands count with the old
hands as nothing, for they tel US that the ship
ping has driven all the birds away. Sailing
above US is flock ofpericans lowering over
the clear water like hawks " hich they resem-
bile in their mode of dalting down or STOPPING
on their prey. One Of these every instant
drops from the flock as though a ball had
" hisicd through his brain, but, after plunge,
he is soon seen rising To the surface, with ish
struggling IN his capacou5 pouch.
Nearer TO u.s. whiring around our heads,
are gannets, news, mntton-blrds, divers. guls
guano birds, aud host Of others, whose names
are unknown t. the gar. On the detached
rocks and The lower edge Of the islAnd-mem-
Der of a pretty numerous onvocetlon--stands
the penguin, the parson, bird OF the sailor,
whose good name is airly earned by his cuta-
way black coat. white tie, and solemn demean-
or. His shoit legs planted far back, and his
long body, do mol fit him Tor walk ashore
but he will sit for hours on little rock Just
washed by the waves, appa! emily In such deep
absence OF mind, the possers by are tempted to
approach, in the hope ofcachng him. Just
as the boat neafs him, and hand already out 10
grasp his neck, away he goes head over heels,
in most irroyercnt and ridiculous manner,
dives under the boat, and shows his head a
bout quarter Of a mile out at sea, where the
sailor may catch him who can, for he IS the
fastest sw rnneI and best diver that ever dipped.
Stepping over the mortal remains of several
sea lions, In few strides we were on the gu
ano and at the next step in it up To our knees.
The guano is regularly stratifed; the lower
strata, solidfed by the weight ofthe upper,has
acquired. a dark red color, which becomes
gradually lighter towards the surface. On the
surface II has white brown light crust contain
ing eggs, being completely honeycombed by
the birds which scratch deep, oblIque holes in-
TO it 10 serve as nests Wherein eggs, seldom
more than two to each nest, ara deposited.
The holes often running into each other.
form long galleries with several entrances; and
this mining system is so elaboratey carried
out, that you can scarcely put foot on any
part of the island without sinking TO the knee.
and being ,ickled with the sense OF hard
beak digging into your unprotected ankles
phe egg shells, and the bones and the remains
of fish brought up by the old birds for young.

substance Of the gaano, which is thus in
