JACK TAR ON GRoG.-A meeting of
sailors was held in New York last week,
and the following resolution among others,
was adopted: . @' ~
RESOLVED, That the abolition of grog in
the navy was uncaled for, and is very bad /;
that it never was attempted in any other
navy in the world /; that the two gills of
whisky per day which we got was not
enough to intoxicate anybody and that
those who could not do without grog-
landsmen, marines and boys-never drank
1t at all.
A further resolution We adopted, which
pledged the sailors never to enlist "aatiI
the mary is governed according to our
views." We fear Jack Tar, in his solicit
tude about the grog," is in danger Of
losing his reputation for modesty.

Enough the very devil to choke,
While all around the "stink-pots" broke,

He cursed the villainous ''Uu~rnnndr

Then roared with wild, demoniac shrek:

For our dear land, as Horace saith,
But dreadful to be stunk to death!'

The Guttnpercha Tree.

The tree called the Isonandra Gutta
which furnishes the guttaporcha, is u
native of the Indian Archipelago and the
adjacent lands a few years since this
substance now of such widely extended
use, was totally unknown in Europe, for
though from time immcmorial tho Ma
lays employed it for the handles of their
hatchets aud creeses, it was only in the
year 1913 that Mr.. Montgomery, an
English surgeon, hayin- casually become
acquainted with its valuable properties,
sent an account of it, with samples, to
the Royal Society, toT which lie received
its gold medal. The fame Of the new
article spread throughout the world -;
science and speculation seized upon it
with equal eagerncss it was immediate
ly analyzed. studied, and tried in EVERY
possible way so that it is now as we'll
known and as extensively used as if it
had been in our possession for centuries.
The lsonandra Gutta is a large high tree,
with dense crown of rather small dark
gree leaves, and round smooth trunk
The white blossoms change into a sweet
fruit, containing an oily substance fit for
culinary use. The wood is soft, and
