A very short paragraph, remarks the
New York Post, will contain the essen
tial points of one of Lloyd's quarterly re
turns of marine disasters; but few brief
announcements have more melancholy
significance. From the latest of these
reports, it seems that $50 vessels, Of all
nationalities, were lost or abandoned at
sea in the last three months OF 1891. OF
these, 100 were owned in the United
Kingdom and twenty-six by the British
colonies. Next in order come Norway,
with a loss of sixty-six vessels, and the
United States, with a loss Of 6fty-four
vessels. OF the British vessels wrecked
forty-one were steamers and ffsy-nine
sailing vessels. or the steamers two
were abandoned, four burnt, five foun-
dered, eight went down after collision,
and nineteen were wrecked; fwhile OF
the sailing vessels twelve we've aban-
doned, six foundered, four sank through
collision, three are reported missing. and
twenty eight were wrecked.

Ants Take in Bsarders.

The list Of curious boarders or mess
mates taken in or tolerated by ants has
been extended BY Mr.. Michaels, who has
discovered that there is an ASSOCIATION
between some Gamarid mites and GER
tain kinds of ants; that a species of
Ganiarid usually ~preferentially associates
with d II two species Of ants, and that
they abandon the nest if the ant does,
and that their social relations are
friendly. The mites are not true para
sites, not iniuring the ants or their

these insect enemies, and that tie mites
will eat dead ants, and thus are really q

House purchasers will be panied to
learn, thinks the New York Sun, that
the diminishing supply of white oak IS
leading to the substitution Of the cheaper
red oak. Car builders report that it
bends well, and is valuable for door
stiles, rails and some other parts of the
interiors of cars. The beauty of white
oak aud its adaptability to furniture
manufacture have gradually increased
the demand for it to such an extent that
has enhanced its cost.

Tie Prince and the Cook.

The following story, which is not
new, will bear retelling. During the
earlier visits of the Royal family to Bal
moral, Prince Albert, dressed in q very
simple manner, was crossing one of the
Scotch lakes in a steamer, and was Curl
Gus to note everything relating to the
management of the vessel, and among
other things cooking. Approaching the
galley" where a braWny Highlander
wa attending to the culinary matters, he
Wa attracted by the savory odors of d
compound known by Scotchmen as
''hodge-podge," which the Highlander
was preparing. "What is that" asked
the Prince, who was not known to the
cook. "Hodge-podge, sir" was the
reply. "HoW is it nader was the next
question.
ssWhy, there's mutton intl't, and
turnips intift, and carrots intirt, and"
Eyes, yes," said the Prince, who had
not learned that stintil't" meant Unto
it, expressed by the contraction intil't;
but what is intil'tan "Why, there's
mutton %intil't, and turnips intil't, and
carrots i@ntii't, and eyes, I see, but
what is intilt2" The man looked at
him, and seeing that the Prince was
serious, he replied, There's mutton In
tilt, and turnips @intil't, and" tsYes,
certainly, | know urged the inquirer;
but what is intilt-intirt2" Eye
daft gowki" yelled the Highlander,
brandishitsg his big spoon, tam I no
telling what's intil'tan There's mutton
intif't, and" Here the interview was
brought to q close by one of the Princes
suite, who was fortunately passing, and
stepped in to save his loyal Highness
from being raped over his head with a
big spoon, in search for information
from the cook.-Manchester Times.

Trne Marriage.

A happy wedlocll is a long falling in
love. know young persons think love
belongs only to the brown hair and
plump, round, crimson cheek. So it does
for its beginning, just as Mount Wash
ington begins at Boston bay. But the
golden marriage is part Of love which
the bridal day knows nothing Of. Youth
is the tassel and silken flower Of love;
age is the full corn, ripe and solid in the
ear Beautiful is the morning Of love,
with its prophetic crimson, violet, SAT-
from, purple and gold, with its hopes Of
days that are to come. Beautiful also
is the evening of love, with its glad re-
membrance and its rainbow side turned
toward heaven as well as earth.-Theo-

The man who has not music in his
soul is justly exposed to the disparage-
ment of the poet, but what shall be said
Of him who cannot find one dumb ami
NAL at least on which to bestow care
and kindness? Sailors and soldiers have
their pets; the feathered, the feline, and
the canine creation are universal favor
ties.
Carriers and draymen are rarely in
different to the companionship Of the
four footed friends, and the nayvys dog,
while his master is at work in the cut
ting or on the embanlment, sits on his
peajacket and guards the bundle con-
tanning that midday meal of which,
when the toiler returns, the good and

THIS phenominal freeze should not
chill our hearts. It would not touch the
hearts Of the children for whose innocent
but brief Joy the Christmas season Of
jolity is chiefly maintained. II we make
them happy they viii keep warm. Into
their sweet young lives the chills, physi-
cal and moral, do not come. Age and
experience only bring them. It would
be craven If we should allow them to
perceive, even the chills which age and
experience have brought to us; IL would
be malicious meanness to ask them to
assist us in bearing the burdens of grief,
or sorrow, or sin which have come TO us.
Let them be happy, Do more, make
them happy, on the principle that
the chills Of life will come soon enough
that their happiness will be brief enough
and that in the end they will be long
time dead, no matter what our particular
theory of the hereaftermay be. Every man
and every woman can add something to
the general Joy Of this season, when joy
is the only currency of life. It is, at
least, the only currency which passes
without discount and adds a premium &c
It's value as it passes from hand to hand
throughout every country in Christen
dom. Joy never depreciates, never gluti
the market, nor pals the senses. Nc
man is richer for taking it from hil
fellowmen; no man is poorer for giving
it bountifully. It is a wealth which en-
riches the giver and the taker and cheers
the man who sees IL passing current
We can not have too much Of it. We
trying ever so hard, can never supply
the demand which the Frightening

In one of the older manuals Of the
common council Of New York there APP
pears an interesting directory Of this
city for the year 1865. Then there
were exactly twenty streets and pop
ulation Of 25l. Broadway at that time
was De Here STRAIT (the principal
street). The Battery was Aen de Strandt
van de N. Reveir. Wall street was De
Waal, Pearl street was De Perel STRAIT,
Whitehall street was De Winckel STRAIT,
William street was In de Smits valley
On the smiths Valley, and Broadway
above Wall street was Buyten de Liant
Poort (outside the land gate). All Of
the residents were of Dutch extraction,
with the exception Of one whose name
appears in the list as Jacob, the French
man.
There were Roosevelts, Beelzmans, De
Peysters, De Puys, Van Cortlandts and
Verplancks in those days. CLAIMS, oys-
ters and fish formed the principal food
of the settlers at that period. Occasion
ally in the spring New York was visited
by "such amazing flights of wild pigeons
that the sun was hid by their flocks from
shining on the earth for a considerable
time; then it was that the natives laid
