BEES AND SNAKES ALSO
TRAVEL DEAD HEAD,,
Lively Time With a Hyena on
Board Ship --Rats Are
Great Sailors.
The Donald Currie liner "Tinta.gel
Castle" left Cape Town on May 8th,
10O1, The strip had covered over
one thousand miles, when suddenly
from beneath the forward ventilator
rose a dense swarm of bees. They
settled ore the ventilator, and cover-
ed it. The sailors constructed a
rough hive, and there the insects re-
mained happily enough for seven
clays. On May 25th the ship drew
near the Cape Verde Islands, passing
them at a distance of about nine
miles. Early that morning the bees
left the ship presumably for the is-
lands, though how they knew the
land was, near is a mystery. This
is probably the only instance on
record of insects voluntarily taking
passage by a steamship to new
lands.
But other and less desirable stow-
aways are common enough. Mr.
Bartlett, of the London Zoological
Gardens, had a call one day from a
sailor who wanted to know if he was
open to buy "a sarpint." Mr. Bart-
lett said "Yes."
"There's a beauty for you," said
the man, opening a little rice seek
he carried in his hand. An Indian
cobra, with hood expanded, and
deadly fangs ready to strike, lay in
the bottom of the frail bag. In this
case the creature had probably been
brought aboard in timber or in a
package of fruit. Vipers, deadly
spiders, and other undesirable immi-
grants are constantly found in the
holds of ships which have arrived
from tropical ports. A Liverpool
fruiterer recently had a most narrow
escape from being bitten by a viper
which arrived in a case of
SPANISH MELONS.
The crew of the steamer "Navin-
shire—once had a most remarkably
lively time with a hyena which had
been taken aboard at Las Palmas,
consigned to the London Office of the
West Africa Company. The creature
had only been on board a very brief
time when it smashed its way out
of its box and took refuge among
a quantity of cargo under the fore-
castle deck. There it remained dur-
ing the whole of the rest of the voy-
age, no one being able to go near
the savage beast. It was not until
the vessel was berthed in the Vic-
toria Dock, and expert assistance ob-
tained, that it could be caught.
Then the place was gradually cleared
of cargo, and the hyena, skulking in
a dark corner behind a large barrel,
was lassoed.
A creature which is a regular bug-
bear to the agricultural authorities
of Africa, North America, and many
other parts of the world, is the so-
called flying -fox, a sort of large
fruit -eating bat, which exists in
countless numbers in its native
country, Australia, and there works
endless damage to the crops of
peaches, oranges, and other fruits.
It is quite frequently found in a dor-
mant state inside packages of fruit -
trees shipped from Australia, and
a very careful watch has to be kept
in order to prevent its establishing
a footing in some new country,
where, like the gipsy-moth, accident-
ally brought from Europe to Am-
erica, it might do
ENDLT'SS DAMAGE.
In a cargo of fruit -trees recently
sent from Australia to Vancouver
no fewer than five flying -foxes were
discovered.
Rats, of course, are plentiful on
practically every ship that floats.
They ship themselves most methodi-
cally from every port. To give just
rine instance of the way in which
rats travel. A large China rat was
taught on board a steamer in the
}vest India Docks on February 10th
last. He was labelled and set free.
Dn February 28th that identical ro-
dent was caught in 'Wellington
Street, off the Strand. Singapore is
the chief port for rats to come
aboard. They may he seen at night
;.limbing, along the hawsers in endless
processions.
The big cargoes of timber which
are sent over in the rough from
Australia and America frequently are
found to contain strange stowaways.
i plump opossum, weighing seven
pounds, was recently discovered in a
cargo of Australian hardwood, and
a pair of dainty Iittle flying squirrels
• alive and well, were found in a ma-
hogany *'ink brought into Liver-
pool as part of the cargo of the
"Daphne." They were torpid when
brought ashore, but soon reviyed in
the warmth.—London Answers.
;i\7TY Frr CELEBRATED.
An old Britisher who had been
an (flicer in our array was a well-
known character in the Western city
in which he resided. Although he
had lived in the city for twenty
years, his dislike and conton pt for
the land of the Stars and Stripes,
its people and its Governntneunrt, were
public property. He lost no oppor-
tunity, in fact, of showing his con-
tempt.
Great surprise, 'therefore, was felt
among the citizens when, on the
morning of the fourth of July,the
house of the Britisher was seen to
be dressed in flags fromroof to
basement. A brass band played up-
ofn the balcrony and a dozen servants
were firing off Crackers. A beige
firmed gathered, and thinking the
Englishman s)atd repented of his dis-
like to America and was joining in
with Americans in honoring the day
on Which they became independent of
Britain, they cheered hien vociferous-•

The Sad Condition of a Bright

to Her Rescue.
Many y;owng girls, seen:ti4igly in

listless and lose stlnn.gttl. The col-
or leaves their cheeks; tthey become
thin, have little or no arptpetlte, and
Stoller from heasdracb a and other
beadily pain. Such was the case of
Bessie, youngest daughter of Mfr,
Chas.Cobleigur, Eaton Corner, Clue.
Serealteng of his daughter's illness
and sgebsequlent caeca Mee Cobleigir
says: "Up to the age of eleven,
Bessie had always enjoyed the beet
of health and took great pieasturo
in oeit-of-'door play. Shuldcie ly,
however, she seemed to lose bar en-
ergy; her appetite failed her; she
grew thin and pale; slept badly at
might, and complained of distrees-
inEg headaches in the mtorting. We
thought that rest woiusid be bene-
ficial to her, and no kept her from
School, but instead of regaining her
s!tfrengtrh, sane grew weaker and
weaker. To make matters worse,
dire began to suffer from pains in
the side, which were alreoc't past
endurance. At this stage we de-
Ftded to try Dr. Williams' Pirkk
tills. After„ a couple of weeks, the
good effect of this medicine wet de-
cidedly app,areit. Bessie became
more cheerful, heir step quichor, her
eyes were brighter arld she seemed
more like her former self. Yi'e con-
tinued giving her the pills for sev-
eral weeks longer, until we felt that
rile had fully repo'vered her health
and streng;tli. I honestly believe
herd it not been for Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, our daughter would not
have reco•veretd her health and

a good word to say for this medi-

SING ON, OH CHILDREN! '
Little Muriel was radiant on her
return from school one day last
week.
"We learnt a new song this morn-
ing, mummy!" she announced.
Mummy expressed her exceeding
joy at the news, and thinking that
probably Muriel's dainty little fing-
ers would be kept out of the domes-
tic jampot if she were employed, she
asked to hear it.
Muriel garnered a halfpenny in con-
sideration of the effort she would
have to make, and then stood upon
the' customary chair.
"This is it, mummy!" she said,
and the little voice was upraised io
song:
"I am a little greenhorn,
Among a half of cheese,
And—
"Oh, I don't know any more,
mummy! But isn't it a funny
song?"
Mummy agreed that it was cer-
tainly a funny song—so funny, in-
deed, that she considered further in-
vestigation necessary. But she felt
somewhat relieved to find that Muri-
el had mistaken the words of the
melody, which was really a highly
moral ditty, commencing:
"'I am a little gleaner .
Among the harvest sheaves."
Neighbor—"I hear your husband
has had his life insured for a large
amount." Mrs. Sourface—"He has,
has he? Just, like him. Gone off
and insured himself for a fortune,
and he hasn't insured me for a pen-
ny."

WHAT OLE HEARS AT SEA
STRANGE SLANG ON BOARD
NAVAL VESSELS.
Jack Tar Has Language Which is
Bewildering to the Land
Lubber.
"Give the butter a fair wind,
please," remarked a Naval Cadet at
a tea party and caused a ripple of
amusement among the uninitiated,
writes a correspondent. The "nauti-
cal expressions heard every day on
board the vessels of the king's
navy are a language in themselves: --
"Bard and soft tack," it is almost
needless to explain stands for bread
and ship's biscuits; but should a
landsman hear an officer order
"sharks" he might be somewhat
puzzled and amazed to find it was
tho pet name for the lowly sardine.
"Tin row," represents condensed
milk, while "Fanny Adama," which
I'm sure suggests sweet and nice, is
merely preserved mutton. The ori-
gin of this is said to be as follows
"Poor Fanny Adams" was tried for
some dire offence and sentenced to
be cut up into little bits. The Gov-
ernment at that period were of a
thrifty turn of mind, so, not to
waste anything, they had her tinned
and served out to the fleet as mut-
ton. The truth of this story cannot
be vouched for, as there are several
others in connection with the same
unfortunate lady.
"What's Putty in the report for,
Smiler?"
"Ise was adrift an hour this morn-
ing, carne off tin 'ats, and gave lip
to old Chips, who ran him into
Number One, so he'll get double
whack."
"Well, he's been asking for it. He's
always half rats, I believe he's a
bit wet. I see him ashore yesterday;
he was Chats."
A TRANSLATION NEEDED.
This may sound like double Dutch,
and requires explanation. "Putty"
is the painter, and nearly all trades.
have their nickname. Thus "Bunt-
ing," the signalman; "Stripey," ser-
geant of marines; "Sticks," the
bugler; "Jimmy Bungs," the cooper;
"Slushy," the cook's mate; "Jaun-
dy," master'at-arms; "Crushers."
the corporals; "Tidies, engine room
artificers; "Sails," the sailmaker;
"Dustyhoy," the ship's steward's
boy; "the Doctor" or "tho Doc."
"sick berth" steward; "Snob," the
bootrnaker.
"Putty's being adrift an hour"
signifies that he has broken his leave,
and that he'd come off "tin hats,"
I regret to say,• shows that Putty had
drunk "not wisely, but too well,"
which accounts for his giving lip to
old "Chips." "Chips" is the car-
penter, the warrant officer in charge
Of the staff, while "Chippy-chaps"
are the members. "Tommy Pipes"
figures for boatswain, and "Blue
Lights" is the gunner. These also
warrant officers. "Number One" is
the first lieutenant, to whom poor
"Putty" was reported, and the
"double whack" that is prophesied
for him implies that he has er two
offences to answer for.
"Half rats" is after the style of
"tin hats"—sort of half drunk when
he gets the chance -and a "bit wet".
corresponds to being a bit weak in
the upper stories, as also does the
expression "cuts," while "Mats"
would show that be was in a db t;r
condition, The latter tern), they
say, is derived from Chatham, which
in days gone by was noted as being
a dirty, muddy place.
SWAYING THE MAIN,
" 'Ere, Jumper, did you see old
Sails ashore yesterday coming down
Fore street, with his whiskers out to
a bow lino cocking a chest with a
girl on his arm? She was good
gear. My word! he, was swaying the
main.,'
"1 see'd him, Nobble. She was
traps. Old Knocker chaffed him at
the Palace, and old Soils said he'd
cat and fish his eye, and he did,
too •
"Oh, that's it. I heard him tell-
ing old Pills that he'd fallen against
a lamp post. But that didn't wash,
and he's flogging the cat about it
now; but I told liim that if he's on
the sick hist he'll have plenty of
tine for his jawing." -
This, being interpreted into ordin-
ary language, means that "Jumper"
Collings wanted to know if "Nob-
ble" Clarke had seen the sailmaker
walking clown Fore street with his
"whiskers newly trimmed," with
plenty of "swagger"; he evidently
was .not "Chats."
The fact of the girl being "good
gear" implied that she was good to
look at, and Old Sails "swaying the
main," showed that he was talking
loudly, probably of himself.
"Nobble" Clarke agreed, because
the fact of her being "traps" means
the same thing as "good gear."
A BLACK EYId,
"Knocker"• 'White appears to have
been ' somewhat • indiscreet In. his
chaff, as they "parted brass rage,"
which is the' same thing as quarrel-
ling, and "Sails" found it necessary
to "cat and fish leis eye" in plain
Words, black it. "
jack always talks of his elothos as
his "rig," ,and if he has to change
hie "rig" during the day he talks of
"cleaning"
himself, It is rather
curious to hoar the pipe "Hands to

clean into 'coaling rig." His descrip-
tive powers of personas appearance
are good, though not always flatter-
ing. For instance, a fellow with
"stunsls" is a person afflicted with
protuberant ears, while a man
"whose chest • has slipped" is one
with a corporation, or, as '1 once'
heard it described by an officer, as
rathergiven to "en -ping-pong."
"Rorty" Is a devil-may-care, while
"Jack Challow" practically is the
same thing. I have heard that there
was once a famous character, noted
for his . recklessness, who bore that
name.
GRABBIES AND FATS.
"A. Callao ship" is a ship where
discipline is slack—in fact, where
everybody does pretty much as he
likes. This term is nearly extinct,
as are also ships of that class. "A
gobby ship" applies to the coast-
guard ships round our coasts, while
a "bug -trap" is the name given to
gunboats, as these were greatly
used on foreign and hot stations. I
think there is no need to seek fur-
ther for the derivation. A soldier is
called a "Grabby." I air not, going
to give the - derivation of this for
Sear of insulting my sister service.
Engineers used to be called "Fats";
they now rejoice in the title of en-
gineer sub -lieutenants, engineer lieu-
tenants, etc., up to the rank of en-
gineer admiral, so we shall have to
find anew name for them, as the •
nickname "Fat" would be unsuitable
for so important an officer.
The chaplain, as every one knows,
has from time immemorial been call-
ed "the ,sky pilot," an expressive
and suitable title. He has been ir-
reverently dubbed "Holy Joe," but
the name he is given now -a -days,
and which I think is best of all, is
the "Padre,"
The "Bundleman" is he who is
blessed with a wife. The origin of
the term is unknown, but as the wife
is certainly not the "man" part of
it, we can only conclude that she
must be the "bundle."
