THE SONG OF THE BON VIVANT.

(With apologies to Lord Neaves tht fal«4 and witty Scottish Juige.) I breakfast on ib daily, And nectar it doth seem When once I've mixed it g*Uf With sugar and with cream. Bat I fergot to mentionßHLsli That in it first t ccc Infused or in suspension Pare Hondai LanKa Tea. At luncheon, too, I drink it, Andstrengthit seems to bring So really good, I think It A liquor for a king Bat I forgot to mention ■ Though you oan plainly see, To cay (twas my intention); Use Hondai- Lanka Tea. I drink it, too, at dinner, I quaff it fall and ft cc, And find, as I'm a sinner, It does not disagree. Bat I forgot to mention, As thus I drink and dint, To obviate distantlon, That Tea surpassed wine. At last, when evening closes, With something nio« to eat, The beet of sleeping doses In teacup still I meet, But I forgot to mention, The INFORMATIONS FEKK, Be sure that what you're using Is Hondai-Lsnka Tea. Yes, I'm fond of Hondai-Lanks, Of "Diamond Jubilee,'* Of grateful "Maharajah"— Those unmended brands of tea.

SUBMARINE BOATS AND WIRE LESS TELEGRAPHY.

I t^~ — IONG DISTANCE AKTItLKRY, The subject of submarine boats In once more occupying public attention. The presidency with which the French naval authorities have carried out experiments with submarine torpedo brats (says the London correspontent of the Melbourne Argus), and the fact that as a result of those experiments they have decided to construct some 40 such monsters, have got upon the nerves of many English newspaper readers. Two days ago it was announced in great detail that our own Admiralty were moving at last, and that they had obtained a submarine boat which aould easily attach 500 ib of guncotten to the bottom of a man-of-war. But the news of this piece of enterprise has since been contradicted. All that the Admiralty will permit the Press Association to say is thab the department may make exper tments, and that the type of boat which meets most approval comes from Australia. I suspeeb that it is Mr J. E. Howard's invention. The newspapers are once more girding Mr Goechen, andtellint? him that he is getting behind both France and America* In another reppect, Mr Goflohen's department is really wakirg up, though, following other countries, as usual—aa they followed in the building of ironcladi in the adoption of bteech-loaders and quick firers. It is announced chls week, as a result of the last naval matasuvres, thab the Admiralty has decided t» equip 32 ships and stations with the Marconi system of telegraphy. We read that the final test, before ordering the Marconi appar atus, was to eignal from Portland to Portsmouth, a distance of 65 miles. Though the Dorsetshire hills interrened between those points, the test worked exceedingly well. Marconi's managing dt rectors promises tlufcthe naval authorities ] will soon be able to communicate bet ween Dover and the Scilly Islands. As to this achievement, however, let me add thab there is one condition—namely, thab Dover is no«, firßfc blown out of the water* I have previously mentioned that tbe French people have been somewhat disturbed over the great defensive works and harbour extensions which are. being put up at Dover. This energy on the part of our naval and military authorities has led the French Govern* ment to construct a gigantic Ornesot gun for the Calais batteries^ which It- is declared, will carry a shol well over the ntraits. It sounds like fiction, but the beßt English gun is equal to accomplishing more than a dozen miles, and, allowing for the usual superiority of French over British artillery, our neighbours may possibly be able to do what they profess. The rivalry which exists on both sides of the Channel has led the French to make Immense Improvements in their naval preparations, and Mr Goechen has played his card in response to these preparation! by recaabing the constitution of the reserve fleet. He has supplied the places ot several c f the old and slow men- of-war with more mobile ehipa.

Obituary Enterprise.

In America they mean business before all things. Th« following obil nary notice from a New England town show* enterprise: " Died on the 11th inst, at his shop, Greenwich Street, Mr Edward Jones, much respected bj all who knew and dealt with him. As a man be was amiable, as a matter upright and moderate. His vJrtuee|were beyond all praise, and hia bearer hats only three dollars each. He has left a widow to deplore his loss, and a large stock to be sold cheap for the benefit of his family. He was snatched to the other world in the prime of life, jus* as he had concluded an extensire purchase of felt, which he got so cheap that his widow can sapply hats at More reasonable rates than any house in the city. His disconsolate family will carry on bosioess with panotaaUty."
