II found a valley young and fair
And virgin OF regret;
That laughed away the amorous afr,

It's passion food OF fire.
Her springs are dry; and dry between

Save one wee strip of faithful green
The friendship Of the grass.

One evening found that countless
multitude of red ants had collected about
two trees close to my tent and were malI-
ing thoroughfare of one of my ropes.
thought it best to discourage this, so l
got some kerosene oil, the best antidote
l know for insect pests of any kind, and,
dipping feather into it, began to anoint
the rope, thinking, in mysimplicity, that
they would not like to cross the oil, and
would be obliged to find another road.
There was a perfect storm of indigna-
ton. They rushed together from both
sides, and threw themselves on the oiled
feather in the spirit of Meltus Curtius,
They died, of course, but others came on
in scores, painting for the same glorious
death, and had to give up my idea of
dislodging them by kerosene.-"Eha,'' u

A few years ago the Japanese govern
ment decided on lacquering the bottoms
of all their iron ships, and the results
proved that corrosion was most effective
ly prevented. The process does not seem
TO have been applied to foreign ships un-
til about two years ago, when the atten-
ton of the captain of Russian frigate
was directed to it, and lacquer was ap-
piled both to the iron and zinc parts of
the bottom. To the latter it was found
that the adhesion of the lacquer was very
light, but on the iron, or rather steel,
it was found that it was in an extra
ordinary good state of preservation, SO
much so that it could not be stripped off
except by being scraped with a sharp in
strument, and from the experience thus
gained it has been decided to substitute
iron on the part where zinc had been
used. d.-Manufacturar.

the republican party proposes and actu-
