We had a very pretty little garden
at our lodgings by the gate of Warwick
Castle. 1t was green with holly and
shrubs, and in it the yellow jasmine
doomed all the winter through. 1t
was sunny and cosy, being sheltered
on two sides by the high outer wall of
the castle grounds, Over this wall
the castle, peacocks, both blue and
white, came daily, lending to our
small domain medieval air. While
20 us they were most welcome. to our
landlady they brought only disaster,
for they foraged on her caulifowers
and in the end destroyed them all
why do YOU not complain of them 2"
We replied in answer to her complain
ings. why do you not demand pay
for damages?' Enter complaint
against the peacocks of an earl! De-
mand pay for what they had eaten !!
The very thought of so doing overpow-
cred our good landlady. None but a
native of that rampant republic. the
United States of America, could dream
of such thing! There are draw
backs to the felicity of being an earl's
neighbor. Not only must one submit
to the depredations of his peacocks,
but of his foxes upon the poultry yard.
Our landlady said that, in the part of
her native Yorkshire where she was
born, hundreds of poultry were killed
yearly by the foxes preserved for hunt
ing. The game laws of England are
imperious and weigh heavily upon the
cottager with his few fowls. +. A. H.,

Two or three months or less after the
completion of the "fairing," the ship is
probably I'm frame" and looks like the
skeleton of some Brobdignagian monster
that has stranded on the bank of the
river The ribs have been hoisted into
position at right angles with the keel,
and strung together by "rib-bands,"
and already there are signs of the
coming subdivision by decks and bulk
heads of the hollow space within. You
can still see through her, however; she
is like, to make yet another comparison,
a great oblong wicker basket, the sup
pie willows being represented by the
network of steel.
The next step is the clothing of the
ribs with plates. AS they reach the
yard the plates are square and fiat, but
they are passed through rollers of var
ious kinds, from which they issue in any
shape desired followed like spoon,
curved lcngthwise or breadthwisc or
diagonally, as the contour of the ship
may call for. A steam or hydraulic
plane smoothes them down as though
they were the softest of whitewood;
another machine trims the edges as
easily as woman cuts silk with pair
of scissors. Then, suspended by iron
chains, they are thrust between the
jaws of punching machine, which has
resemblance to sinister human face
with a fiat nose, a long upper lip, and
n small chin. The jaws close upon
them and bite out, ten at time, the
holes for the rivets by which they are
to be fastened to the frame. William
