Tho Terrible Ship Worm.

The testudo navalis, or ship worm,
has caused the loss of more vessels
than were ever destroyed in war. In
tropical countries this worm penctrates
the timber of vessels and eats away the
wood until there is only shell left,
which will crumble at a slight blow.
Large beams, apparently sound, after
removal from vessels after the outside
crust has been broken have been pulled
10 pieces by the fingers. During the
last century an East Indiaman, locked
in London, crumbled to pieces when
the supports were placed underneath
and the water removed.

COSTLY BURIAL:



The majority of intelligent persons

disposal of their bodies after death,
but it may be safely asserted that not
one would be found to express wish

of tyrannical custom and partly Of

pals, plumes, feathers and other trap
pings of woe. The polished coffin and
the brass furniture are the surviving
relics of the funerals completely fur
nishedn of a past age, and are chung
to with affectionate tenacity by those
whose interest it is to- have them con-
tinued.
But the undertaken is, after all, what
the public make him. The courage
and persistence of few individuals
swept away the costly and useless trap
pings of woe; only very little more
courage isrequired to substitute cheap
er and perishable collins for the pre-
tentious upholstery exhibited in the
coffin of the day. If the upper classes
would set the example and make per-
ishable coffins fashionable, it would
soon spread to the working classes,
who are still tempted to spend upon
coffin and burial money which would
be much more wisely expended in pro-
viding additional comforts and even
accessories for the hving.-London

IKE HILL.

| Duties of the Sergeant-nt-Arms in the
House of Representatives.
"The sergeant-at-arms will please
see that order is restored;" or, sthe
sergeant-at arms will see that the gen
tlemen take their seats,'' are familiar
sentences to everyone who attends the
sessions of the house of representa-
| tives.
1t would take a man with gray hair
to remember when sergeant-at-arms
has actually had to take derelict con-
congressman by the coat collar and
shove him down into his pivot chair or
to slap his hand over his mouth to keep
him from talking, yet from time imme-
mortal that august official of the gov
eminent has been called on almost
daily to perform the act, especially
when an exciting question is occupy
ing the attention of the house. Now,
Ike Hill, as an occupant of the chair of
peacemaker of the house of representa-
tives, makes a model officer. He is the
best-natured man in the world and will
go to the end of the earth to accommo-
date friend. But he can look alarm
ingly stern, as many members well
know. When the speaker gives the
signal for action, Ike gets up and fixes
his eagle eye on the member violating
rules. He advances with deliberate
tread in the direction of the derelict.
The sternness on his face increases as
he sees no restoration of order. He |
gets nearer and nearer to the offender,
who then takes his seat and looks like |
the bad boy of a school when trying to |
look innocent after getting caught in
some mischief by his teacher. That's
the way it happens every time. In the
of variety it is to be hoped |
that some day the member will refuse
to shut up, and that Ike, in the loyal
performance of his duties, will have to
put him up Washington News.

THE DE LAMAR NUGGET.
SATURDAY, JUNE % 1894.
Our BOYS.

When cur boys wore knickerbockers,
And we girls wore pinafores,
I remember how we fancied
They'd unlocked oil wisdom's stores
Then, too, they had met and conquered
Half the big boys in their crowd
Where were boys so brave and brilliant?
We had reason TO be proud
And we gave them the devotion,
Blind, abundant without end,
Which small girl gives her brother,
And-her brothers big boy friend
Later, when they went TO college,
And returned in uniform,
We all thought that naught so splendid
Fer was seen in human form
When they told their college stories,
When they sang their college glees,
Where, we thought was ever music,
Where were voices like to theseY
But we did not say so freely
AS in childish days Of yore;
Yet think perhaps The ladies
Sought our good opinion more.
All, those happy days are overt
We, young men and women grown;
Yet hold with faith unfailing
There is no crowd like our own.
Time has brought us separation,
But, when spirits loving are,
Hearts are very near together,
Be our bodies near or far.
AS OF old, we still share fully
In their sorrows or their joys,
Aud this prayer is often offered:
1.-The All-Fnther bless our boysl''

DOGS AND COBRA.
The Immunity of Englishmen In India

The Immunity of Englishmen In India
from the OmDipresent Reptile.
Comparatively few Englishmen re-
siding in India are bitten by snakes,
though hundreds of the natives die
every year from snake bite. A writer
afhrms that this immunity is some
what due to the presence in English
mems bungalows ofpet dogs, and he
tells the following story in support of
his assertions:
My first acquaintance with cobra
was one night when, awakened by a
lou.l barking, l saw through the door
of the bathroom my two terriers bark
ing furiously in fun blttle front of a
large cobra that was reared on its tail
and facing them in turn.
st was motionless except for a slow
swaying of the head, it's hood was dis
tended to complete circle, it's tongue
darted in and out, while every now
and again it emitted loud kissing
sound.
1T did not show trace of fear, or re-
move from the dogs the fierce, fas-
cinating stare that seemed to rouse
them to frenzy l leaped hastily up
and despatched the reptile with a
stick, when the dogs no longer dread
ing their enemy, vented their rage on
his inanimate body.
Il remembered that during the day
had been surprised at the dogs silent
ly and persistently shutting around
an old trunk in the bathroom, and I
have no doubt it was the snake they
scented.
Il had to thank them in this in
stance, at least, for the timely warn
ng. Dogs, however, will never attack
cobra at bay. Their instinct seems
o appprise them of the risk. Amer

Illus Jacobus May, navigator en-
ployed by the Dutch West India com

half-forgotten historic fact that the
region about the point was purchased
of the Indians by the Dutch in 1880, a
period very close to the time when the
Indians wiped out in blood the earliest
Swedish settlement of Swanendaal on
the other side of Delaware bay. The

served at Albany.
