J'UKEHT AND ST LUC AM, 





M3B5 —.Sir John Hatiugton Ibe ttate 

 i ArlOStO bad a fatuous dog " Bungey" 

 concerning whom be wrote in 1808 to Henry 

 Prince of Wales-, eldest son James I, as fol- 

 lows. Let ihose of our readers who have 

 followed llarington through the adventures 

 of Orlando Furiosi) read this letter and re- 

 member it is the work of a poet : 



May it please Your Highnessc to accept in 

 as good sort what I now offer as it hath done 

 aforetyme: and 1 ta&y8&$e' > ipadefa/usto," 

 — but having good reason to iliinUe your 

 Highn«'=si' Iiti f ■•':,],; will to likenye to reade 

 what- others have toldt; of my rare dogge I 

 will even give a brief historie of his goode 

 deedes and straunge feats: and herein will I 

 not pluie the curr tnyselfo but in goode sooth 

 re'a'e wh.t is no more nor lesse than bare 

 verity. Although I mean not to disparage 

 the deedes of Alexander's horse, I will match 

 my dogge against him for a goode carriage, 

 for if he did not a great Prince on his back, 

 1 am botde to saie he did often bear the sweet 

 wordes of a greater Princesse on his necke. 

 He went from my house at the Bathe to 

 Greenwhiehc Palace and did deliver up to 

 the courte tbeie such matters as were en- 

 trusted to hi? care. This he bathe often done 

 and came safe to Bathe or my house here at 

 Kelstone, with goodlie returnes irom such 

 nobilitie as were pleased to emploiehim ; nor 

 ■was it ever told our Ladie Queene that this 

 messenger did ever blab ought, concerninge 

 his highe trusle as others have done in more 

 special matters, Neither must it be forgotten 

 as how he once was sente with two charges 

 of sack wine from the Bathe to my house by 

 my man Combo ; and on his way the cordage 

 did slackene, but my trustie bearer did now 

 bcare himselfe so wisely as to covertly hide 

 one flasket in the rushes and take the other 

 in his teethe to the bowse, after whiche he 

 wente forthe and returnede with the other 

 parte of bis burden to dinner. Hereat Your 

 Highuesse may perchance marvele and 

 doubte, but we have living testimonie of 

 those who wrought in the tickles and espiede 

 his worke, and now live to tell that they did 

 muche longe to plaic the dogge and give stor- 

 age to the wine themselves, but they did re- 

 fraine and watchede the passingeof thewhole 

 business -1 could dwell more on this matter, 

 tut " iube.i renovare dvloremJ' I will not saie 

 in what, manner he died. As we traveld to- 

 wards the Bathe he leaped on my horse's 

 mcke and wis more ea -nest in courtinge my 

 notice than what 1 had observed for time 

 backe ; and after my chidinge his disturhinge 

 my passing forwardes he gave me some 

 glances of such allection as moved me to 

 cajole him ; but alas, he crept suddenly into 

 a thorny brake and died in a short time. 

 flavins snide so much of him in prose, I will 

 say something too in verse, as you will find 

 hereafter at the close of this historie. Now 

 let Ulysses praise, his dogge Argus or Tobite 

 be led by tbat doggy whose name doth not 

 appear, yet coud I say such things of my 

 Bungey (for so he was styled) a<3 might 

 shame them both. John Haelsgton. 



P. S. — The verses above spoken of are in 

 my book of Epigrams in praise of my dogge 

 Bungey to Momus, and I have an excellente 

 picture curiously limned to remain in my 

 posteritye. 



About Antb. — The larvte of ants, liko 

 those of bees and wasp3, are small, white, 

 legless grubs, somewhat conical in form, be- 

 ing narrower toward the head. They are 

 carefully tended and fed, bging carried about 

 from chamber to chamber by the workers, 

 probably in order to secure the most suitable 

 amount of warmth and moisture. 1 have ob- 

 served also that they are very often sorted ac- 

 cording to age. It is sometimes very curious 

 in my nests to see them divided into groups 

 according to size, so that they remind one of 

 a school divided into five or sis classes. 

 When full grown they turn into pupffi, some- 

 times naked, sometimes covered with a silken 

 cocoon, constituting tho so-called "ant-elfgs." 

 After remaining some days in this state, they 

 emerge as perfect insects. In many cases, 

 however, they would perish in the attempt, 

 if they were not assisted, and it is very pretty 

 to see the older ants helping them to cxtri- 

 c.ite themselves, carefully unfolding their legs 

 and smoothing out the wing3, with truly 

 feminine tenderness and delicacy. 



Under ordinary circumstances, an ants' 

 nest, like a beehive, consists of three kinds of 

 individuals : workers, or imperfect females 

 (which constitute tho great majority), males, 

 and perfect females. There are, however, oft- 

 en several females in an ants' nest, while, as 

 we all know, there is never more than one 

 queen in a hive. The queens have wings, 

 but after a tingle flight they tear off their 

 own wings, and do not again quit the nest. 

 In addition to the ordinary workers, there is 

 in some species a second, or rattier a third, 

 form of female. In almost any ants' nest we 

 may see that the workers differ more or less 

 in size. The amouut of difference, however, 

 depends upon the species. In Lasius niger, 

 the small brown garden ant, the workers are, 

 fir instance, much more uniform than in the 

 little yellow meadow ant, or in Alia oarbara, 

 where some of them are more than twice as 

 large as others. But in certain ants there are 

 differences still more remarkable. Thus, in 

 a Mexican species, besides the common work- 

 rs, which have the form of ordinary neuter 

 •■nts, there are certain others in which the ab- 



domen la swollen into an immense Bub-di- 

 aphBTlOUS sphere. These individual- are very 

 inactive, and principally occupied in making 

 a kind of honey-.' 



i; E«G CnnTi i:e.— The traffic in 

 eggs in this country is estimated, by com- 

 petent authorities, to equal $150,000,000 per 

 annum. New York receives in a Biri£ i peat 

 530,000 barrels of egirS, valued at $9 000,000. 

 In 1H7T there were exporled from this country 

 S 503,205 dozen eggs, valued at !$G68,701. It 

 is claimed that Philadelphia consumes daily 

 80,000 dozen eggs. The approximate receipts 

 of eggs in Boston for the year 1878 have been 

 as follows : 107,027 cases, containing 40 

 each; 43,000 boxes, containing 100 dozen 

 each, and 17,783 barrels, containing 79 dozen 

 each. These figures give, as a result, 1G8,- 

 410 packages, containing 5, ft 15, 663 dozen 

 eggs, or 78,187,830 single eggs. It is esti- 

 mated that fully 05 per centum of all receipts 

 are consumed in Massachusetts, and that 

 80 per centum are consumed in and near Bos- 

 ton. In nearly all small towns and villages 

 enough ei'gs are raised to supply the local de- 

 mand. The number of eggs consumed in this 

 State, when computed, is found to be an 

 average of 52 eggj per year to every inhabit- 

 ant, or one egg per week. All these eggs 

 come to Boston from various sections, in 

 about the following proportions : Eastern 

 eggs, mostly from Maine by boat and rail, at 

 all seasons of the year, 24 per centum of total 

 receipts; northern eggs from Northern New 

 York and Canada, 37 per centum ; P. E. I. 

 eggs from Prince Edward's Island, between 

 the months of April and November, 17 per 

 centum ; western eges, 10 per centum ; and 

 southern eggs, from Virginia during a few 

 weeks in the spring, 3 per centum. Of the 

 northern eggs the greater part comes from 

 Canada, and this trade is constantly increas- 

 ing. A single Boston firm, the largest re- 

 ceiver of eggs in this market, handled nearly 

 000,000 dozen eggs last year.— Boston Culti- 

 vator. 



A Soft Money Eat.— In the office of the 

 Osborne House, at Auburn, N. Y., is the 

 s'.uffed effigy of a rat. Some time ago the 

 proprietor was much perplexed and annoyed 

 by the frequent disappearance of cash from 

 the money draw. A strict watch was in- 

 stituted hut where the money Went and how 

 it went was as much of a mystery as ever. 

 Finally everything was explained by the dis- 

 covery of a rat making off with a greenback. 

 The rodent's savings bank was ferreted out 

 and a snug deposit of sixty -nine dollars found 

 neatly disposed In its sleeping coach. The 

 Chinese live on rats, we could live on rats' 

 nests like this.
