Volunteers In soutl, America.

There is gentleman in Boston who
spent a number of years among the
various little South American repub-
Tics and who gives an interesting ac-
count of the methods of one of these
small states when it comes to n ques-
ton of making war. The navy" Of
the particular power referred to con-
sists of single old fashioned side
wheel steamer. armed with one gun.
In time of peace she is engaged in haul
ing freight up and down the river
which runs close to the capital.
AT the outbreak of one of the peri
odical wa,s not so very long ago the
president of the republic took charge
of the steamer and started up stream
on Il recruiting expedition, leaving his
senior general in charge of the military
preparations at the capital. A couple
of days later the steamer returned,
and some seventy miserable looking
natives. each firmly bound with a
strong rope, were marched off and
turned over to the general, with note
from the president which read:
Dear General-I. send you herewith sew
enty volunteers Please return the ropes
at once.

The legal profession Of the present
day will be surprised to learn that Mr..
Webster, the greatest American law
yer of his time, made but $4,000 a
year by his practice. But the fees of
counsel between 1910 and 1850 were
not what they have been since.
In 1913 1 accompanied client 10
Mr.. Webster's Office in Boston and ask
ed him to name retaining fee in an
important patent case. He said he
thought couple of hundred dollars
would do. When the case was tried,
his fee was only $1,000. On another
occasion paid him retaining fee of
$1,000 for the proprietors Of the Good
year india rubber patent.
His fee for arguing the great equity
cause of Goodyear versus Day in the
circuit court of the United States fol
the district of New Jersey, by which
he established the validity of the Good
year patent, was $1,000. This was In
the spring of 1852, and was the last
case lie ever argued.

Tadnoles' tails may be bought for IL

cost YOU a shilling only. Wh1sker OF
the British lion is advertised IN the same
catalogue at one shilling, but hair OF
the Indian bat costs sixpence more. All

London is the central market not only
of Britain. but of the world, and in her
shops may be bought many things OF the
very existence Of which the man
in the street may go through life
without being aware, or, at any rate,
without knowing that they were ever OBJ
jects of commerce.
Earwigs, for instance, are usually
looked upon as obnoxious insects, whose
ONLY object in life is to render uninhab1t-
able otherwise pleasant and shady sum-
warehouses;. Yet, in the catalogue OF an
East-end which makes a speciality
of supplying natural history specimens, live
earwigs are quoted at s. the oozen'
Crickets are the same price, but ant
lions are fvepence apiece and horse
flies are of equal value. Bun1ble-bees are
for sale by the same firm at threepence
apiece and "true Wasps' at 3s. q dozen.
Pond snails may be purchased so low as
Is. for twelve. -,- They are useful for
keeping clean the water in aquariums,
but garden snails-not the variety that Is
eaten-are only three halfpence apiece.
Some eccentric people use these little
creatures for cleaning the outside Of dirty
window panes. Certainly the track LETT
by snails across a pane is always par
ticularly clear and bright.
Crabs-the big eatable kind-we have
all purchased, but the use of the little
fiddler, spider, and hermit crabs is not so
clear. These cost from f1vepence to IS.
apiece At the same establishment live
diamond rattlesnakes are to be purchased
for from 20s to 50s, and ground rattlers
80 low as As each. Even cockroaches, the
pet abomination Of the London household
er, find purchasers. They are said to be
most valuable for clearing old houses of
smaller but far more Objectionable ver1nfn
than Themselves
There was recently a great shortage in
the supply of ladybirds. The govern
ment of Cape Colony has discovered that
the ladybird is the one insect capable of
clearing the dreaded aphis from the vine
yards of South Africa. So they sent over
to England for 10000. which cost them in
all nearly penny apiece. The firm in
trusted with the order dispatched special
agents into the hop country to collect
the needed number of these little beetles.
The market for spiders is SO large and
increasing that one establishment sells
nothing else. They are bought at from
