They settled on the ventilator, and cover- ed it. The sailors constructed a rough hive, and there the insects re- mained happily enough for seven days. 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 loft the ship presumably for the is- lands, though how they knew the land was near is a mystery. This is probably tho 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 tho 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 sack he carried in his hand. An Tndien 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 bate 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 assistauee ob- tained, that it could bo 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 drunage 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 bo 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, at might do ENDLESS DAMAGE. In a cargo of fruit -trees recently sent from Australia to Vancouver no fewer than live 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 one instance of the way in which rats travel. A large China rat was taught on board a steamer in the West India Docks on February 10th last. , Ho was labelled and set free. An February 2Sth that identical ro- dent was caught in Wellington Street, oft the Strand. Singapore is the . chief port for rats • to come aboard. They may be seen at night climbing along the hawsers in endless processions. Tho big cargoes of timber which are sent over in the rough from 'Australia and America frequently aro found to contain strange stowaways. A phtmp opossum, weighing seven pounds, was recently discovered in a cargo of Australian hardwood, and a pair of dainty little flying squirrels alive and well, were found in a ma- hogany Brunk brought into Liver- pool as part of the cargo of the Daphne," They were torpid when brought ashore, but soon revived in the warmth. --London Answers, WHY THD CELEBRATED. An old Britisher who had been an officer in our ninny was a well- known character in the Western city in which he resided. Although ho had lived' in the city for twenty years, his dislike card contempt for the ,land of the Stan's and Stripes, its people and its Government, were public property.

COULD EDT SLEEP, ON ACCOUNT OF HEADACHES AND PAINS IN THE SIDE, The Sad Condition of a Bright Little Girl Until Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills Came to Her Rescue. Many y;ou'ng girls, seemingly in the best of health, su,idlenly grow listless and Iose str'engt'h. The col- ar leaves their cheeks; they become thin, have little or no appetite, and teeter from headaches aired other bodily pain. Such was the case of Bessie, youngest daughter of Ma'. Ceras. Cobleigdl Eaton Corner, Que. S'poddiog of his daughter's illness end subsequent cure, Me. Cobleig'h says: Up to the age of eleven, Bessie had always enjoined 4the bolt of health and took great pleasure In oat -of -door play. Suiddenly, however, she seemed to lose lust en- ergy; her appetite failed leer; site grew thin ted pale; slept baldly at night, and complained of dastrrts- in,g headaches in the ntorni.ng. We thought that rest wowed be bene- ficial to her, and so inept her from tichlool, but instead of regaining her stft•en,gth, she grew weaker and weaker. To make matters worse, the began to suffer from pains in like side, which were almost past endurance. At this stage we do - tided to try Dr, Williams' Pink 1'iltia. Alter a couple of weeks, the good effect of this medicine was de- tteledly apparent, Bessie became More cheerful, hes' step guicicor, her eyes were brighter ankl the seemed more like her former self. ;We con- tinued giving her the pills for sev- eral weeks longer, until we felt that Fie had fully renew -rod her hoa1th nerd strength.

Little Muriel was radiant on her return from school one day lest 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 fi.ng- ers would ho kept out of the domes- tic jampot it she were employed, she asked to hear it. Muriel garnered a halfpenny in con- sideration of the effort site would have to make, and then stood upon the customary chair, "This is it, mammy!" she said, and the little voice was upraised io song; "I are a little greenhorn, Among e half of cheese, And— "Oh, I don't know any more, mummy! But isn't it a bunny song?" Mummy agreed that it was cer- tainly a funny song -so funny, in' deed, that she considered further in- vestigation necessary. But she telt somewhat relieved to find that Muri- el had mistaken the words of the melody, which was really a highly moral ditty, commencing; "°I sun a little gleaner Among the harvest sheaves," Neighbor -"1 hear Ur husband has had his life insured for a large amount," Mrs. Sotn'facc-"He has, has be?

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 papty and caused a ripple of amusement among tho 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:- "Il'ard and soft tack," it is almost needless to explain stands for bread and ship's biscuits; but should a landsman hear an °nicer order "sharks" he might be somewhat puzzled and amazed to find it was the pet name for the lowly sardine. "Tin cow," 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 bo cut up into little bits. The Gov- ernment at that period Were of a thrifty turn of mind, so, not to waste anything, they bad her tinned anal served out to the fleet as mut- ton, The truth of this story cannot be vouched for, as there aro several others in connection with the same unfortunate Iady. "1Vhat's Putty in the report for, Smiler?" "He was adrift an hour this morn- ing, carne off tin 'ate, 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) ho 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 "]3unt- ing," the signalman; "Stripey," ser- geant of ntariues; "Sticks," the bugler; "Jimmy Bungs," the cooper; "SIushy," the cook's mate; "Jaun- dy," master'at-arms; "Crashers," the corporals; "nines," engine room artificers; "Salle," the sailmaker; "Dustyboy," tho ship's steward's bey; "the Doctor" or "tho Doc." "sick berth" steward; "Snob," the bootmakor. "Putty's being adrift an hour" signifies thathe has broken his leave, and that he'd come off "tin hats," 1 regret to say, shows that Putty bad drunk "not wisely, but too well," which accounts for his giving Hp to old "Chips." "Chips" is the car- penter, the warrant officer in charge of the staf!, while "Chippy-chaps" aro the members, "Tommy Pipes" figures for boatswain, and "Blue Lights" is the gunner. Theca 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 two offences to answer for, "Half rats" is after time style of "tin hats" -sort of half drunk when ho gets the chance -and a "bit wet" corresponds to being a bit weak in rho upper stories, as also does the expression "cuts," while. "Chats" would show that he was in a d!t i v condition. The latter term, 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 coining down Fore street, with his whiskers out to a bow lino cocking a chest with a girl on Itis arum? She was good gear. My word! he was swaying the main," I soe'd 11210, 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 hien tell- ing old Pille that he'd fallen against. e lamp post. But that didn't wash, and he's flogging the cat about it noW; but I told hien that if he's on the sick Ilst he'll have plenty of Vine tor his jawing." This, being interpreted into ordin- ary language, means that "Jumper" Collings wanted to know if "Nob- ble" Clarke had seen the sailmafter Walking down Pore street With his "Whiskers newly trimmed," with plenty of "swagger"; he evidently wee not "Chats." The fact of the girl being "good gear" implied that she was good to look at, and 010 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 saute thing as "good gear," A BLAWC EYE. "Knocker" White appears to have been somewhat indiscreet in his chaff', as they "parted brass rags," Which is the mine thing is quarrel- ling, and "Sails" found it necessary to "eat and Fish his eye" in plain words, black it. Jack always talks of hie clothes as his "rig," and if he has to change itis "Frig" during the day ho talks of "cleaning" hfnsolf, It is rather 0011000 to ]hear the pipe "Yantis to, More than half the battle in cleaning greasy dishes is in the soap you use. 11 it's Sunlight Soap it's the best; alp t-1 ,a0. clean .into coaling rig." Itis descrip- tive powers of personal appearance are gond, though not always flatter- ittg. Por instance, a fellow with "sttutsla" is a person afflicted with protuberant etu's, while a man "whose cheat lute slipped" is 0110 with a corporation, or, as T once heard it described by an officer, as rather given to "en -ping-pong," "Rorty" is a devil-may-care, while "Jock Mallow" practically is the same thing. I have heard that there was once a fatuous character, noted for his recklessness, who bore that name, GRABBIES AND FATS. "A Callao ship" is a ship whore discipline is slack -in fact, where everybody does pretty much as he likes. This term is nearly extinct, as aro also ships of that cites. "A gobby ship" applies to the west - 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 am not going to give the derivation of this for fear 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 a now name for them, as the nickname "I'at" 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. Ifo 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. Tho origin of the torn, is unknown, but as the wife is certainly not time "man" part . of it, wo can only conclude that she must bo the "bundle." , SICK TWO YEARS ' BUT WAS CURED ,DODD'S KIDNEar PILLS CREDIT- ED WITI ANOTHER VIC- TORY OVER LUMBAGO.
