In modern times there is no one animal that has taken a pre-eminent part in the work of colonization. The sheep, the cow, and the horse have no doubt, in their turn rendered indispensatie assist- ance to the colonist; but none of them has actually determined and pioneered the course of colonization. In the ancient worlds, however, there was a smal! and insignificant animal that may be said to have created a colonizing power, and to have guided and promoted its snbsequent growth. This was the murex, a species of shell-fiah, that yielded to the Pheeni- clans the aplendid purple color with which their famous fabrics were dyed. These creatures were first collected on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean: but, when the supply began to run short, the Pheenicians sought them farther and farther from home. They were thus led from point to point, until they had planted colonies in Asis Minor, in most of the Greek islands, in Sicily, Sardinia, Malta, Minorca, and even as far as the Canaries, while they crept along ths southern coast of Europe as far as Cadiz, and along the northern shores of Africa to the Pillars of Hercules, establishing important cities or factories at many points. The great State of Carthage, the rival of Rome, was oneof the cvlonites that owed its existence to the humble shell-rs*

No.hing is better to" make the inside of acattle or horse bara tight aud warm than tar paper and laths. ‘lar paper is much better than the heavy building paper, and tar paper can be used on the outside aa well.

The latest fadin England is to insure longevity through the use of a special diet. The promise is held out to those who implicitly follow out the pre- scribed regimen that they may attain to the age of 110 years. This, among the most melancholy people of the globe, and to whom one would fancy that life were the less worth living, has aroused considerable enthusiasm. Cooks and kitchens are to be abolished, meat, bread and vegetables are forbidden; existence is to be maintained exclusive- ly upon nuts and bananas. If we compare this with the dietary system of Dickens, which represents that of his period, his comparatively early de- cease will excite no surprise. Accord- ing to English standards, he was an accomplished gastronome. Beefsteak pudding was his ideal, a horrible con- coction only fit for a crude or debased palete. His highest conception of a dinner was a baked leg of mutton with the bone removed and the cavity filled with a stuffing of oysters and veal. This was accompanied with gin punch, in the making of which Dickens took especial pride. It was made as fol- lows: A brass kettle of water was heated over a spirit lamp. Wher the water came to a boil it was poured into a jug, with a bottle of old gin, lumps of sugar, and chips of lemon peel. The mouth of the jug was then closed with a napkin, and the mixture allowed to brew for a certain number of min- utes.
Unconscious Mumor,.
It is not always safe to resort to set)
phrases when wishing to compliment. A story is told of a certain lawyer, ex- tremely studious, but in conversation no- toriously dull, who was showing off his newly built house. The bookworm prided himself especally on a sanctum he had contrived for his own use, so secluded from the rest of the building that he could pore over his books in private, qué) secure from disturbance. ‘“‘And this is capital,’’ exclaimed the ' yisitor, with unconscious irony. ‘Yeu can read and study here all day, and no human being be one bit the wiser."’
