Of the Elbe, where special laws have
been passed for the preservation of the
amphibious rodents. Here their multi
plication has become subject Of serious
protests ON the part of those inhabitants
who care more for their crops and pri-
vate interests than for questions of natu-
raj history, however interesting. The
beavers have begun TO attack the trees
on each side of the bank within a wide
range of the river, and have not only de-
molished quantities of the young sap
lings, but also knawed through and
razed to the ground many quite full
grown trees. They have likewise, in the
course of their various works in damn
ing and diverting the stream, caused
great damage to the existing banks and
defenses, so as to cause inundation and
impose much toll and expense upon the
riparian proprietors. So serious are the
depredations of the tribe, as it continu-
ally increases in number that the Ger
mans are preparing to address petitions
TO the government, and ask for an act,
conceived somewhat in the spirit of the
hares and rabbits act, authorizing them
to protect themselves by organizing
beaver hunts on large scale.

Don't Drown.

A correspondent of the London Times,
in giving an account of the better way
for one to sustain himself in the water,
says:
"When first went to sea at the age of
l2l years, fell overheard in the Bay of
Biscay when the ship was going ten
knots with studding sails set. A heavy
sea was running, and the captain wrote
that he had never known any one saved
under such cii cumstances.' | had been
taught to swim at Eton, where | had
gained some proficiency in diving for
chalk eggs. This practice gives boy
the two qualifications to which, under
Providence, owe my life-irst, that OF
not being afraid when under water
being in the habit of swimming about
under water looking for the eggs which
had been scattered; and, secondly, that
of treading water, for we used to come
up with eight or ten eggs, two or three
being slowed under ones arm-pits, and
we had TO retain them all and put them
into a punt or they did not count. Nv
first sensation on feeling myself in and
under the water was to force myself in
the customary way to the surface, and
then, seeing the ship sailing away, and
tue lllt-Dodl dDpdftutlN ClOSt 10, 10 lfN
the good straightforward breast stroke
recommended by the honorable secre-
tary of the swimming association. Less
than a minute convinced me of my
error. My cloth uniform was very
heavy, as it was midwinter. was losing
all my strength, and filing my nose and
mouth with spoon drift. / at once gave
it up, turned round, and trod the water
as long as could, and when / could no
longer do that, turned on my back and
floated, in which position l was picked
up by one of two cutters sent to search
for me, and tney had lost sight Of me
from the ship. l will not take up your
space by praising the smartness Of the
ships or speaking of the officer, still liv-
ing, or the crew who manned that boat.
MY only object in writing, is to add my
testimony to that in your issue of to-day
that:the art of sinking added to that
of quietly waiting-treading water and
hoating-till assistance can reach you,
will be found far more efiicacious than
wasting power by swimming"

English ivy is charming decoration

difficult to keep the leaves resh-looking

of beefsteak at the root OF the plants
every spring and fall. The same result,

method of propagating plants, and is
the safest of all procedures in Inexperi-

may be used TO hold the sand in which
the cuttings are placed. The sand is put
in TO the depth of an inch or so and the
cuttings inserted in it close enough TO
touch each other. The sand is then
watered until it becomes in the con.
dition of mud and placed on the shelf of
the greenhouse or in the window-sill Of
the sitting room, fully exposed to the
sun and never shaded. But one con-
dition is essential to success: Until the
cuttings become rooted the sand must lie
kept continually saturated. If once per-
mitted to dry up, exposed to the sun as
they are, the cuttings will quickly wilt

During the last admin strati n Butler,
Blaine and Evarts sat together in friend
ly confab at dinner company. Secre-
tary Evarts, high liver, smacked his
lips over the terrapin stew. and turning
to Butler, asked: General, how much
would it cost to have terrapin for din
ner every day ?" An estimate was
made. "But, General, cannot aiiold
so expensive luxury, and yet l would
exceedingly like to treat myself and
friends to this luxury daily. You are
so experienced in framing bills and
engineering them through Congress, can
you not smugele throughan appropriation
