Mrs. Roach's Re.opening Dinner.

The opening dinner at Mrs. Sarah
Roach's new restaurant, at the old
Rupert corner yesterday, was a ban
quet, feast. Such bill of fare as
she had was never gotten up in this
city before; nor was such splendid
cooking ever partaken of on any
public occasion. To be sure, the
loads Of delicacies under which the
tables groaned will probably not be
duplicated by her, as that is impos'
sible at the price which she charges;
but all who have ever partaken of bel
good cheer need not be assured tha1
her menu will be fully up to what il
has been heretofore, during the past
year or so.

In one of the great canyons out
West there is an icicle 1000 feet long.
A local paper thus describes it: A
volume of water unusually large for
this season of the year is falling over
the perpendicular wall at the head of
this canyon, about an even tho Island
feet in height. The falls are encased
in a great tube of ice, which, when
the sun strikes it, looks like gigantic
column of crystal standing upright
against the precipice. Within the
torrent fumes and boils with deafen,

Poison Made from Dead Ants.

Not the least interesting episode in
Mr.. Stanley's wonderful story Of his
last journey in the Ozark Continent"
is his account Of the poisoned arrows
used with such deadly effect by the
natives against his followers The
exact nature Of the poison used re.
manned an enigma until he discovered
in one of the villages several packets
of dried red ants, and learnt that the
poison was procured from them. The
insects are dried, ground to powder
and cooked in palm-oil. and the MKT
ure is applied to the points of the ar
rows. The noxious compound owes
its power to formic acid. which exists
in the bodies of ants. in certain cater
pillars, and even in ssinging-ne.tles.
When pure, this acid has a most cor.
ros've action on the skin. producing
o'asters which are difficult to heal.
its action was no doubt especially
deadly to those whose frames were
already mach seakened by hunger and
over-exextion. Chambers Journal

MORNING AND NIGHT.

Conditioning peeped over her eastern gate,
To see II the children were up;
And laughed at q bumblebee coming home late,
Who was caught in o hollyhock cup.
Conditioning has eyes like the CLINT of the
skies
When they're bright as the sun and the stars
mixed together,
And her lips are SO sweet, and her steps are so
heet, W. q
She can dance like thistledown, fly like
feather.
You ''never have seen herr" Oh me! Oh. me!
What dull little sleepy. head you must be!
CONDITIONING can sing like q brook or bird;
She knows where the fairies all hide;
Some folk hard Of hearing, say they never have
heard rAi
Her sing, though they often have tried.
CONDITIONING has hair made Of sunshine so
zoo rare, 4u
The elves tried to steal it to weave in the
weather; 1iA''.f
Which made her afraid, the bonny wee maid,
To swing on the gate many minutes together.
You "never have seen hery' All, me! All, me |!
What cross, lazy lie-abed you must be!
Goodnight Is her neighbor, dear little soul
Who swings in hammock, and not on gate.
She half shuts her eyes with a great yawn, SO
droll, l1 lnI
1t would make an owl laugh, will venture to
state.
Goodnight always brings the most wonderful
things,
To hide in the children's beds, glittering and
cleaning! gst .aaq,
Such tales she can tell, ard she tells them so
well.
You could listen all night and believe you
were dreaming!
You 'never have heard her?' Oh me! Oh. me
What small naughty wide-awake you must be
Goodnight has house full of beautiful toys,
That she keeps for the children-no grown
folks are there;
And she carries them of, the wee glrlies and
boys.
To her magical palace, and, oh, how they
stare!
Good Night never frowns when she sees the
white gowns az
Come trooping to beg for more stories-the
dear!-
But with kisses and smiles, the time she be
guiles, Nt
And bids them to come again soon-do yor
hear!

around his. benefactor, watching him
with eyes which seemed to say: "Are
you willing ] should stay with your"
Then he lay down in the sun near the
kitchen-door step. put his head on his
forepaws, and went to sleep.
From that day my dog had dog, not
a companion or a FRIEND. because that
implies equality, but servant. Tom
is the master. the yellow dogis the
humble, devoted attendant when
food is brought, Tom eats first. Then
he says: "Waw!' in tone OF gruh
but kindly command, and the other
comes up and takes what Is left. IL
the new arrival does any thing foolish.
such as barking at the heels OF a friend
of the family, Tom growls in a way
that soon brings him repentant TO the
kennel. 1t is useless for me or for any
one else to try to call the whelp. He
will not answer to any human voice,
nor will he lie down when he is told to
do so. He is simply Indifferent.
What does that person wantP" we
can imagine him saying. What right
has he to give me orders? / am not
his dog!'
So l have not even given him
name. 1t would be utterly useless. l
may coax and whistle and snap my fin
gers-he will not obey. But If, on
starting for walk, l have % fancy for
canine companionship, l call,
"Tom!"
Tom hastens to my side, his great
paws going flop, flop" like an ele.
plants tread.
Call your dog"
"Waw."
The yellow dog is on the spot in the
twinkling Of an eye. and we start, Tom
at my heels, the yellow dog pattering
along in Toms track. Then if we go
down the road, and. as sometimes hap
pens, the boys think the end of the
procession is fair game, and begin to
shout "Sick 'em!'' and fling stones. you
should see Tom. Slowly he turns
about, like a big seventy-four getting
ready for action, opens his mouth and
utters a low growl.
"Let my dog alonev'
One warning is enough. The boys
tumble over one another in their anx-
iety to get away. Then Tom shakes
himself, and the procession moves on
as before. 1t is generally understood
now throughout the neighhorhood that
it isn't safe to meddle. with Toms dog.
