It lives in the heavy forests and feeds on the sweetish sap or gum of native trees. The larva, or grub is about four inches long and as thick as a. man’s thumb and looks like a. huge white maggot. It is consider ed a delicacy by the native negroes and cnribs, who roast it in hot ashes and say that. it tastes like routed nuts.

The assistant holds the severed part so that the hairs will cover the cut, and with the application ot the iron there is an odor ot burning hur and flesh. The horse winces. and would crouch, kick or break any but for being strung up in the hammock. But it does not take the tenth part of a sncond to FEE] up the wound.

Also when this dogre of heat in the fire. box is reached it may be anticipated that, without any more fuel in the firebox, heat will continue to be do livered for sometime thereafter. Under this condition, don't think at adding more coal to Winn the house. Turn on your draught when you get up.

Properly handled, th'e furnace fire at bedtime should have burned to a heap of live coals. The namsity for heat in the coals comes from the faet that the coals for banking the night firm acts to an extent as an cxtinguidter. The coal in cold, and with its weight and thickness added it will put out a fire that is not hot enough to start combus- tion immediately.

In mid winter more coal is wasted by the aimless fireman only in the morning than at any other time ot the day. It comes from the disposition of the fireman to shovel in coal simply because the house is cold. BABY’S HEALTH.
