Tact and Good Humor. Few Europeans have had sueli an influence over savage Africans as Dr. Livingstone. He seemed to cast a spell over them, which they did not care to break. It was, however, the spell of a good man, gifted with common sense and a knowledge of human nature. T-Tp lnul >1 nlnvfnl wnv of dealill?T with the natives, which put them in pood humor and at their ease with him. Such was his faith in the power of humor that he Used to say: " I am never afraid of a man who has a hearty laugh." Good feeling, good manners, and patient countenance in well-doing were the means by which he acquired an in Hnenee over tnese savages, i nice wiine journeying the oxen fell siek, and all the party had to walk. Certain natives, having just joined the party, were ignorant that the doctor understood their language. He overheard them discussing his appearance and power of endurance. ' He is not strong," they said; " he is quite slim, and only appears stout because he puts himself into those bags (trousers). He will soon knock up." The conversation caused the doctor's Scotch blood to rise, so that for days he, being in the advance, kept them at the top of their speed. After he heard them expressing a proper respect for his walking power, he moderated his pace. Instinctively the natives, many of them, seemed to know that they might trust, the genial missionary. Once when traveling in Southern Africa he found a little girl sitting under liis wagon. She had mm away from a family who had taken possession of her, as she had no relatives. As they were determined to sell her as soon as she was old enough for a wife, she, not fancying it, came to the good white man. Before long he heard hev sobbing violently. A man, with a gnn, had been sent after her, and he stood demanding that she should return with him. The doctor would not give her up. But stripping off the beads with which she had been loaded to make her more attractive, he gave them to the man and sent him away. "Though fifty men have come for her," he wrote, " they would not have got her." Growth of Adulteration. The adulteration of our food, drink and-medicines, which it is now sought - to pr? vent by national legislation, nas already attained a surprising magnitude. Experience "warrants the belief that if not efficiently checked it will be much more extensive in the future than now. The work of adulteration is one of growth. It begins in a small way and ends nowhere. In coffee, for example; a third of a century ago it was adulterated with chicory to the extent of about two and a half pounds to the hundred. From that point it grew in a few years to fully fifty per cent. Tlien the chicory itself was subjected to adulteration, and now it is not impossible to obtain samples of so-called coffee which do not contain more than twenty-five per cent, of *lie genuine article. Even the man who buys his coffee in the berry is liable to receive a villainous A/lm.'wUuA waaI UarwAo irifli nf1>OV I 11111111A C 111 t; VI irtu utuxvo OAbu wviiw stulfwhich has been molded into the true shape, but contains none of the true material.

Dr. Percy Bonlton, of the Samaritan hospital, London, has made interesting studies of the health ai-d growth of .children. Instead of taking the average of a large number of children measured -? once, he has found it more profitable to measure a number of children of normal growth, brought up under average circumstances, many times, thus ascertaining their rate ot increase. The annual rate of growth was found to vary between two and three inches for each child per year. The following working table, * though not exact, is an approximation to the statement of a law. The weight, it will be observed, normally corresponds with the height, rising by steps - of one inch: jjpci. jnciies. rounas. rcei. incurs. rounas. i 3 0 36 4 1 62 % 3 1 33 4 2 65 3 2 40 4 3 67% 3 3 42 4 4 70 3 4 44 4 5 72% 3 5 46 , 4 6 75 . .

Then it is safe to conclude tho child's diet is not good, or possibly some disease is lurking in his system. It is a curious fact that loss of weight always precedes the development of consumption. A Doctor 011 the Bicycle.

I find I get through mv day's work with less fatigue than 011 horseback and without the monotony of driving. My work is done quicker; my usual pace is ten miles an hour, and I can go at the rate of fifteen when pressed. A bicyclist's steed is al" ways ready saddled, and on arriving at yoilr destination does not require a bov to hold lum. It can be ridden with al' .ost as much ease in wet as in dry weaker, but it is not adapted for a very failly country, though all moderate hills can be surmounted. Since I invested in my new 52-inch I rode ninetv-tive miles in one day without unusual fatigue. I can confidently recommend all men who are fond of exercise without fatigue and all wno wish to curtail their stable expenses to take the trouble to learn the bicycle. Mrs. Mnhone's Apprehension. United States Senator Mahone is a very thin man. The following story illustrative of his exceeding leanness is . told of him. During the war, while in ''command of a division of Confederates, lie had the misfortune to be wounded, bnt not seriously. An acquaintance about to visit Richmond was requested to call upon the general s wife for the purpose of relieving auy anxiety she j might fed by explaining the nature and extent of his injury.

The officer attempt d to reassure her by saying that the general would bo on duty again in a few days, bat without avail. "Why, madam," he expostulated, "you ought not to give yourself so much concern. IIo received only a flesh wound ; no bones were injured."

Where Cattle Plagues Ilegin. The great plagues that from time j to time have devastated the stables i and pastures of Europe, sparing neither ; cattle good or bad, have all had definite starting places, and these on investigation lave proved that the diseases ' found their origin in .fitlh. Such j plagues are always to be feared. Bad I food impoverishes the blood of the stock, while the poisonous emanations of the filth, which also has an injurious effect when absorbed by t he physiques continually in contact with it, complete the work, and the general deleterious influences finally localize themselves in : some organ of the animals that survive at all. The causes of cattle plagues arc exactly analogous to those of cholera and other human scourges, and there effects, when they attain to contagion or infection, are similarly unsparing of all with whom they come in contact. Severer laws and more alert officers are necessary to the prevention of a cattle plague in this country.?New Tori Herald.

[ A Xest-Building Fisli. i I In poinls anil trenches near the GanI ! pes a pretty little tisli is found called r the rainbow fish; it is characterized by r its brilliant colors, and by the presence ? of a long filament substituted for the II ventral lins. Some curious facts have i ! lately been given by 31. Carbonnier as . j to the nest-building habits of this ani I mal. Seizing a little conferva plant i ! with his mouth, he raises it to the suri ' face. Left there the plant would sink, j but the little iisli obtains some air bub-1 bios and places them at intervals under it as a support. Repeating the process i several times he thus produces, the first day, a small floating island. Next, day he continues the supply of air, and ac| cumulates the bubbles toward the een| tral part, the effect being to produce a I 1 .... Ul.lA 1 1.^1 ^.1 ihn I Mire in \ muui*, i i?n uiu s surface. He then makes a rim for it, . with t he same materials, plants ami : bubbles; and, going inside, he smooths ami softens the interior surface. The - female is then solicited to enter. After . laying her eggs the female withdraws, [ leaving to the male fish the education of his family. He deposits the eggs with - care, seperately, in the raised part of the i nest. At a later period, when he sees i they need a different medium and treat; ment, he rises in the middle of the dome and bursts it, letting the bubbles escape; I whereupon the structure flattens in the I water, with the imprisoned embryos, i which are beginning to appear in a new stiifjfe of existence. To prevent their escape he tears the Hat rim of the nest s into n sort of hanging fringe. For some ' time he exercises great surveillance over I the progeny, till their frequent escapes > j and excursions announce the end of his > fatigues, which occurs some eight or ten ' j days after the flattening of the nest. The Trn<le Winds. The rartli turns on its axis from west to east, and with it rotates daily tho envelope of the atmosphere. The velocity of rotation at the equator is something , oyer 1,000 miles an hour; at thirty , degrees^ijlj^taRce it is about 150 ' niil^^S^- In higher latitudes it is ^ cfeilffess, at fho poles nothing. Therefore, whenever the air moves north or south on the surface of the earth, it will carry with it less or greater velocity of ; tho rotation than the place it passes " over, and will turn in an easterly or westerly wind, according as it ap proacues or recedes iroui me equuwi. In the region of thesuu's greatest heat, 1 the air, rarified, and lighted, is contin' ually rising, and cooler currents come in 1 on both sides to tako the place of the ascending volume. As these side cur' rents come from a distance of about L thktv degrees from the equator, they ' have at a starting, an eastward velocity of many miles an hour less than the L localities they will eventually reach. [ Consequently they will appear to lag ' beh'nd in all the "course of their pro! gress to the equator?that is they will ! have a westerly motion united with ' their north and south movements. These are the great trado winds, blow; ing constantly from the northeast on : this side, and the southwest on the ! otli^r sitlft nf t.ho Aimator.? London Truth. The Lunar Weather Theory. 1 The general principles of the lunar 1 theory as to the weather are thus stated by Claudius Ptolemy, as quoted by Mr. ' A. .T. Pearce in his " Weather Guide j Book," according to astro-meteorology: ; The moon's course is to be carefully ! observed at the third day before or after j her conjunction with the sun (new i ; moon), her opposition (full moon), and ' her immediate quarters; for if she then shines thin and clear, with no other phenomena about her, she indicates serenity ; but if she appears thin and red, j ; and have her whole illuminated part | " visible, and in a state of vibration, she ; ' portends winds from the quarter of her j latitude and declination; and if she appear dark or pale and thick, she threat- j i ens storms and showers. All halos j 1 formed around the moon should also be j , observed, for if there appears one only, j 1 bright and clear, and decaying by degrces, it promises soronc weather; but ' if two or three appear tempests are in1 dicated; and if they seem reddish and ' brgken they threaten tempests, with * Solent and boisterous winds; if dark and thick they foreshow storms and > snow; if pale, or black and broken, tempests with winds and snow both; and ; L whenever a great number appear storms ! ' of greater fury are portended. I? 1 Pressure at (ireat Sea Depth. ' It was formerly supposed, says Dr. J. . ' Gwyne Jell'reys, that animals could not | * exist at great depths in tbo sea because j of the great pressure to which they ! would be there subjected. Mr. Moseley, * in his lately published work, states that " the }>ressure exerted by the water at * great depths is enormous, and almost j beyond comprehension. It amounts ? roughly to a ton weight on the square , ! inch for every 1,000 fatlioms of depth, 11 so Hint at ti depth of 2,500 fathoms '! there is a pressure of two tons and a ! Jiulf per square incli of surface, which ' j may be contracted with the fifteen ; pounds per square inch pressure to | which we are accustomed at the level of j t! the sea " from the weight of tho atmos-; ^ phere. But, as Dr. Jeffreys remarks, it | 4 nv.fit be recollected that water is nearly ! ri incompressible, and that marine ani- j ' muls which are surrounded by such fluid, aud are to a certain extent filled ! '1 with it, would not necessarily be inconi venienced by the superincumbent j " weight. Yet it is a singular aud, as yet, j j unexplained fact that animals brought; . up from what may be called, in those ! days of deep sea dredging achievements, i moderate depths, are invariably found j to be dead. |!

Hoarding of Gold. What becomes of the gold ? The New York Public, a paper devoted to financial subjects, .calls attention to the fact that ! ti 1.1 ?l-'-l. l -f \T V.J "goiu wiiicu gueti uui 01 new -luih ?eem? to stay out." On the first of October, 1880, there was held by the treasury and all the banks of the country 8230,615,000 of gold, and on January 1, 1881, there was held in the same institutions 8247,532,000, an increase of only 816,916,000 during the three months. The yearly production of gold was 833,522,000, one-fourth of which was ?8,380,000, and j i the net imports were 841,500,000; deduct! ing the increase in all the banks and in the treasury, and no less than 833,000,00 of gold vanished from sight during those three months. During January not a dollar of it had returned. "Where has it j gone? It is very evident that the gold j i which lias been accumulating in the ! country for some time is finding peaceful : absorption in domestic repositories. It I is not put awav in banks, nor invested in ! bonds, nor stocks, nor in speculation. ! In fact, it is hoarded, quietly put away | in sums ranging from 820 to 8500 or j 81,000, to bo kept to meet some future ; payment or use. This hoarding is going ' j on all over the country, but especially j in the West.?Chicago Tribune. ! i Ants Warming Themselves. ? Two varieties of ants, says a correspon dent of Nature, make a noise in warm ing themselves that can be heard twenty or thirty foet away. The sound is pro| duced by each one scraping the J horny apex of its abdomen three times ' in rapid succession on the dry, crisp' leaves of which the nest is usually coni- j posed. AVhite ants (so called) also; make a noise, which is audible if they are put on crisp paper, by suddenly j shaking the whole body, and seem to 1 warn each other by this means. I Why We Commence Dinner with Soup A clear soup disappears almost imme. diately after entering the stomach, and in no way interferes with the gastric juice, which is stored in its appropriate cells ready for action. The habit of commencing dinner with sonp has, without doubt, the origin in the fact that aliment in this fluid form?in fact, ready digested?soon enters the blood and rapidly refreshes the hungry man, who, after a considerable fast and much activity, sits down with a rense j of exhaustion to commence his princi- ' pal meal. In two or three minutes 1 after he has taken a plate of good warm soup the feeling of exhaustion disappears, and irritability gives way to the gradually rising sense of good-fellowship with the circle. Some persons have the custom of allaying exhaustion with a glass of aiiurry uwiuro iuuu?a gnaituuumiu uu less than a physiological blunder, injuring the stomach and destroying the palate. The soup introduces at once into the system a small installment of ready-digested food and saves the short period of time which mnst be spent by the stomach in deriving some nutriment from solid aliment, as well as indirectly strengthening the organ of digestion itself for its forthcoming duties.?Sir Henry Thompson. Ail Unfortunate. Mistake. A young man had his girl out riding in a no-top buggy the other afternoon. In*one pocket he carried a bottle of snirits of ammonia for the headache, and in another he had a bottle of cologne, just purchased. As they were riding along he asked her to take a smell of his new perfumery, but unfortunately he placed the wrong bottle to her nose. She took a wholesale sniff, and remarked. "Gugug?ugug?huh?huh!" and went over out of the carriage backwards, and for an instant the air in the rear of the buggy was filled with high-heeled shoes, flourishing arms, a choking girl, [ and so forth. She escaped serious injury, but she hasn't spoken to the young man since. Some girls get mad at the least little thing. [Pottatown Daily Ledger.] A Michigan journal relates the following: Amos James, Esq., proprietor of the Huron house, Port Huron, Mich., suffered so badly with rheumatism that lie was unable to raise his arm for three months. Five bottles of St. Jacobs Oil cured him entirely. Didn't Swear Himself. A Philadelphia anecdote, forty years old, but possibly new to cold type, is told by a correspondent of the Boston Commonwealth. The subject was the venerable Cromwell Barnard, a member of the Society of Friends, and skipper of the sloop Union, of Nantucket, then being at a Philadelphia wharf. Barnard was promenading the quarterdeck,when a schooner, hauling out of the dock, fell afoul of the Union, and the schooner's captain began to swear vociferously. Of course it didn't do any good, and as Barnard took no notice of it the captain yelled in a perfectly audible voice that he was an old shad-belly, prefixing a participle that is usually considered to be eminently profane. Mr. Barnard couldn't stand this, so he called down the main hatchway to the mate: " Zimri! Zimri ! come on deck and talk some of thy language to this man alongside." [Atchinson Champion.] No Benefit. An Indiana newspaper thus writes. Mr. George F. Helderle, of Peril, Ind., says tliat lie bad suffered very much witb rheumatism and used many remedies without benefit. He found the desired relief in St. Jacobs Oil.
