The Abolition of Nayies,

MIR. Stewart Sanderson, of Shelby.
Orleans county, N, Y, in memo,
rial to Congress, proposes a novel way
of compelling all maritime nations to
withdraw their war vessels and keep the
peace. He says that, after twenty-seven
years study of the subject, he has come
to the conclusion that a steam ram can
be built with sufficient power to force
all maritime nations to withdraw their
war vessels His plan, therefore, is to
order the Secretary of the Navy to arm
and equip for action the best iron clad
gunboat owned by the United States,
and to invest sum equal to its cost in
the construction of one or more steam
rams in accordance with the best plan
than be devised. When everything is
ready, he proposes that battle shall be
ordered between the iron-clad gunboat
and the ram in the otfing of a convenient
harbor, SO that the people can see if the
steam ram will be able to sink and de-
stroy the iron-clad vessel, before the
latter can be brought near enough tc
lombard any seaport town or city. L
the ram is successful, he thinks that the
exhibition will compel all nations to lay
by the gun, suspend the building o.

so artfully with dry leaves that, even
though one has seen the nest before, 1t
is very difficult to find it. When the
turkey chicks are Matched out they are
almost as delicate as the tame ones /;
damp ground is very bad for them and,
though tame turkey will lead her chicks
right into wet grass, unless prevent
ed, wild turkey takes care to find high,
dry ground for hers. Still, sometimes
the children get wet feet, and then mann
ma gives them cough lozenges, picking
off the buds of the spice wood bush for
them. I suppose each turkey mamma
has learned the prescription from her
mother.
These American wild turkeys have a
cousin in Australia, who builds very
queer nest. The bird is called the
tallegalla or brush turkey. 1t builds
high mound which it makes bigger from
year to year, several carloads OF ma
terials being used. Six or seven hens
join together to build a nest, and run
round large circle, grasping with their
feet the leaves, and grasses, and dead
twigs, which are lying about, and fling
ing them into the center; each time they
make the circle smaller, and the heap
grows higher, and at last mound is
formed. Then they scrape away the
middle of the heap till they have hole
nearly two feet deep, when they lay the
eggs, placing each egg upright, large
end upwards. The eggs are then Gov
cred up and are Matched by the heat OF
the sun and fermentation of the heap.
Now the father bird takes care of the
nest having wonderful instinct which
tells him Just how much covering the
eggs need. Sometimes he covers them
with thick layer of leaves, and some
times lays them nearly bare, and does
this several times a day. A great num-
Der of eggs are placed in the nest, 6
bushel being sometimes taken from 6
single mound. These eggs are of very
good flavor, and both natives and colo
nists are very fond of them.

A Remarkable Snake Story.

A remarkable story of snake-charm-
ing" has been brought to light here.
Mr.. Luke Brewer lives near the dock in
this city, and is the father OF a little
gil and boy aged respectively 9 and
years. He discovered on Saturday last
that his children had been in the habit
OF playing with water snake three and
a half feet in length. It appears that
the reptile had made its land home IN
derneath the kitchen-fooring of Mr..
Brewers dwelling, and came thence
through an orifce in the ground just out
side the house. The little girl, on the
day above mentioned, informed hel
father that they had a pretty pet just
like an eel, that came out of a hole
in the ground and played with them and
the kittens. He asked the child to show
him where it was, but was told that il
would not come out while he was there.
He left for a few minutes, and while re-
turning was met by his daughter, who
said she had called her pei, and it was
now playing with her brother. The
frightened father fastened to the yard,
and was almost paralyzed with fear Oh
discovering his little boy caressing the
snakes head. He ordered the little fell
low away. The child reluctantly com
piled by stepping back, when the reptile
commenced to make for its den. The boy
then moved toward it, calling it endear-
ing names, and was about to pick 1t up,
when Mr.. Brewer dispatched it, against
the earnest and fearful entreaties of the
infatuated children. The boy, a robust,
healthy little fellow, refused to be com,
forted, abstaining from food the rest O!
the day, and begging to be allowed tc
bring the dead serpent into the house.
Mr. Brewer thinks that the children had
been amusing themselves all summer
with their Strange pet. The tail of the
snake, for a distance of three inches
from the end, bore evidence that two
kittens, which were in the house, ha6
also been participants in the sport -

True ECONOMY.

Ii has been found that the only true econo-
my is that which stops the little leaks and
saves in trifles. For instance, one saves in
milk, butter, eggs and flour by the use of
DooLEy's YEAST POWDER, which is made from
the purest cream-tartar, derived from grape
acid. Good housewives have proved this by
experience.
