Ship barnacles are true wander ers o f the deep, the same species frequently being found upon the hulls of vessels coming from the most remote and widely separated regions. They present a very odd appearance, for the shell is at tached to the end of a flexible stalk, which varies in length from an inch in some species to twelve inches in others. Generally speaking, the shell of the ship barnacle is of a white or bluish white hue, and the atalk is brown or slate colored.— H arper’s. Sohliam ann'a Luok.

In tempted to take too large mouthfuls and swallow them too quickly and either eat too much or too little Eating is only one part of feeding and without digestion is not only useless, but injurious. Those who est in company have to devote a certain amount of time to talking and attending to each ether’s wants. This makes the period between the mouthfuls longer and gives motto time for digestion. Then, again, conversation at mealtimes usually takes a cheerful turn, and the tone of both body and mind is raised, the heart and nervous system act better, the flow of digestive juices is stimu lated, and a larger amount of actual nourishment is obtained from a smaller quantity of food.
