Admiral Porter doesn't think
much of our navy. The meanest
maritime nation in the world, he
says, could sweep our commerce off
the sea and we could not hely our.
selves. He adds: ''There mot one
of our ports that has any defence
against even an enemy Of very in
ferior character. There is not a
harbor in the country where an
ordinary ironclad cannot pass the
batteries, choosing their own time
Cor so doing. So it appears that
our army detences are in the same
category as those Of our navy It
is, therefore, indispensable that
both should forthwith take a new
departure to insure that effectual
protection to GU. countrymen which
they have right to demand. . 1t
looks as if any little nine shot prin-
cipality could step up and twig us
by the nose, and we wouldn't dare
to say anything but thank you.

Lieut.. Eick, of the Russian army,
has discovered new Illuminating
powder, which has attracted the
favorable attention of the German
government. It causes any object
to which it may be applied to be-
come luminous, and water in glass
vessel may be converted into an
illuminating fluid by the addition
of some of this powder. The new
illuminant consumes no oxygen,
which tact makes it desirable for
use in mining operations Its illu-
minating power lasts eight hours,

comes necessary.

The COnfraternity Of Death.

saw the members of the Confrater-
nifty of Death. Contraternit0 della Mcrte,
the other day, wearing their white sack
cloths and hoods. They were on their
way to Orta, to fetch the corpse of a
dead guaroiano, or country guard, one
Agostina IoSi Sutri, who fell from a
wind mill and was killed on the spot.
The sad procession is a strange sight
to the travellers and sportsmen who
meet in the desolate Campagna. The
members carry their bier, decorated
with gilt skulls, and covered by q
golden-embroidered black velvet cover,
or cottre tumerea. 1t is the duty of the
society to start from Rome as soon as
notice is given that body is lying I'M
buried in the wilderness around the
Eternal City. The confreres belong to
the aristocracy and gentry. No storm.
or rain, or accident stops them. They
go on until they find the body. A
priest always accompanies them. As
soon as the dead man is found the priest
reads over him the dissolution and the
requiem, and then, without any delay,
the body is carried back to Rome on the
shoulders of the confraternity. Nofood
is taken on the road. and the plucky
young brethren pride themselves on
keeping their fast as strictly as possible.
Along the immense Campagna it is
sometimes very hard to find the ditch
or the hedge in which the murderous
gun of a revengeful rival has killed
successful sutton, or to discover the
wide, open spot where the sun or fevers
struck the roaming outtero or the
doomed guardSdno. Sometimes after
stormy night the brotherhood finds it
self, tired and drenched, in the same
place whence it started at sunset. Some
times the location of the corpse is de-
rected by the crows, who crowd around
it. This philanthropic institution is
quite blessing in country like ths
Roman wilderness, as otherwise the re-
mains of human creatures would be
left to feed the wolves and crows. Err
norfo des conapaqna, as the people call
it in their dialect, has been the subject
of many romantic poem and of many
sketch. 1t is great theme of gos-
sip, and the small papers and tho
conaari, or women on the corners, are
always anxious to construct the event
into five numbers, which are then put
on in the lotteria, and very often prove
to be the lucky ones.-Ron,e Cor. ~ Y.

Benny and the Watermelon.

Many years ago, in the Old Colony
town of p, good old lady known
| far and near as Mother Simpson lay
sick of fever. She was very ill. In
those days the doctors did not dare tc
give water to fever patients, but lei
| them parch and burn under the con.
suming disease Cooling drinks were
| thought to be fatal.
But be that as it may, Mother Simp-
son was a very sick woman-there was
| no doubt about it whatever.
Suddenly she stopped in the midst oil
her feeble rawlings for drink. and said,
with all her old energy-she was very
energet woman and liked to have her
way Gimme piece of watermelon. y
..Why, bless my stars" exclaimed
Aunt Sarah, who was nursing her
'.nussingo they used to call it-s'I never
heerd of such a thing. It's now nigh
most the middle of winter-it is
months an months ago sense anybody S
seen a watermelon.
81 don't care" said the sick woman
sharply: 81 want some watermelon"
"Where on earth am | goin' to get
you any, I'd like to know9'' said the
nurse.
why, up in the back lot, next to the
woods" replied the invalid.
In short, the good lady was so persist
emit in her request that they determined
that little Benny, a chubby chap of a
dozen years old, should make the hunt.
"'Tain't no use at all,'' said the
youngster; s'there ain none left. and if
there was, 'twouldn't be good for moth
ing
However, Benny took the shovel and
hoe ami trudged up through the fields of
snow toward the back lot. 1t was near
dusk of bleak winters day. He took
his implements and prodded here and
scraped there, his fingers getting colder
every minute, but found nothing.
81 might have knowed 'twould be
so,' he said to himself, IN tone of I'M
disguised disgust. Then picking up his
tools he was about to return home.
when he remembered that he hadn't
looked along by the fence near the edge
of the wood. '.I'll go the whole figger,
now I'm about it. he SAID. The snow
at this spot was little more drifted.
He explored at one place, another, and
presently came upon hard substance
under the drift. Removing first layer
of snow and then layer of leaves,
what was his establishment to find a
plump, ripe watermelon. Had he dis
covered an actual pot of gold he
couldn't have been more surprised. He
bore the trophy in triumph rack to the
old farm house to the astonishment of
everybody except Mother Simpson.
The melon when cut was found to be
one of the ripest and sweetest and red
dest and iuiciest that ever grew. 1t
acted like cordial on the sick lady;
the crisis in the fever turned at once,
and she grew well with amazing
rapidity, and lived many years after
thanks to the watermelon. Boston
