THE DISCOVERY OF CoTTEE.-Toward
the mildle OF the fifteenth century poor
Arab was travelling in Abyssinia, and,
finding himself weak and weary from ia
tigue, he stopped near a grove. Then,
being in want of fuel to cook his rice, he
cut down a tree which happened to be
covered with dead berries. HIS meal
being cooked and eaten, the traveller
discovered that the half-burned berries
were very fragrant. He collected a num-
Der of these, and, on crushing them with
a stone, he found that their aroma in
creased to great extent. While Won
dering at this, he accidentally let fall the
substance in can which contained his
scanty supply of water. Lo, what mir
acle The almost putrid liquid was in
stantly purified. He brought 1t to his
lips ; it was fresh, agreeable, and in
moment after the traveller had so far re-
covered his strength and energy as to be
able to resume his journey. The lucky
Arab gathered as many berries MS he
could, and, having arrived at Arden, in
Arabia, he informed the multi of his dis
covery. That worthy divine was an in
vcterate opium smoker, who had been
suffering for years from the influence OF
that poisonous drug. He tried an infu-
sion of the roasted berries, and was so
delightedat the recovery of his own vigor,
that in gratitude to the tree he called it
cahuah, which in Arabic signifies force.
And that is the way in which coffee was
discovered.

The R0nd TO Siberia.

During the reign of the Gear Nicholas,
and we presume there have been few
changes since, the nobility of Russia
possessed many privileges, and among
those not least appreciated was corporal
punishment, and in ordinary cases they
were conveyed to Siberia, instead of pro-
ceeding thither on foot. The unfortu-
nate individuals sent to struggle against
the inclemency of hard climate, and
the severity of harder taskmasters,
were divided in two classes those mere
ly transported and those transported
with hard labor The journey from
Kew to Tobolsk took one year, while
the convicts whose destination was the
mines of Nertchinsk, seldom reached it
If they did reach thunder two years.
For the bones of many of them that
persisted of cold, ill usage and sickness
were scattered over the interminable
Russian steppes, to serve as finger-posts
to the melancholy conveys that followed
the same desolate route. These conveys
generally consisted of one hundred to two
hundred and fifty persons-men, women
and children. An armed Cossack on
horseback then followed the convicts,
chained together in gangs of twenty,
with Cossack intervening between the
gangs, and posse of those very irregu-
lar cavalry men closed the procession.
The Gar was mcrciful to women they
were not chained. The sick were gently
treated they were allowed 10 ride in
vehicles with iron rings round theil
necks, like wild beasts in menageries.
Perfect silence reigned in those pro-
cessions the only feeling noticeable was
the dull apathy of despair. During
sleep no one could move without causing
move or less severe pain to his mate
Daring meals the convicts crouche6
round fires closely guarded by the Cos
sacks. Each column marched two days
and rested for one day. Beyond Nishn
Novgorod, when ordinary editices became
few and far between, long, low isolated
buildings were constructed to serve Al
pens for the herds of human cattle
Moreover, guardhouses were established
at irregular distances to relieve the es

The Orient at Vienna.

Great preparations are, it seems, max
ing in Egypt for the approaching Inter
national Exhibition at Vienna, at which,
says the Lerdat Herald, there is reason
to believe the Turkish and Egyptian de-
partments together will give very COM
plete idea of the East in its industrial,
commercial, artistic and social aspects.
The programme Of the section has been
arranged by two well-known Austrian
men of science, Herr Brusgh, the anti
quarian, and the architect, Herr Schmo-
REM. The latter has been entrusted by
the Khedive with the preparation Of sew
eral characteristic Egyptian construc-
tions, to be erected in the Exhibition
grounds. Prominent among them will
be regular Egyptian house with harem
and selamlik. An Arab fountain will play
close by, serving as pendant to Turk
ish fountain in the Ottoman section
and on a story above it, exposed to view
will be an Arab school. A neighborins
building will contain apartments for thu
/ Viceroy, fac smile OF q native Aral
cafe, open to thepublic, on the first story
and on the basement Arab shops, il
which genuine natives will sell variet,
of articles of Egyptian manufacture
The facade of this building, on TIN
park side, will represent a mosque
crowned with two minarets, copy O
one of the most historical and also ar
chitecturally graceful Of the ealipl
mosques at Cairo. In another part 0
the Egyptian section Of the park fur
ther group of buildings will compris
an Arab peasants hut and the residenc
of an Arab scbiek. In the garden t
the left there will be reproduction O
the tomb of Beni-Hassan and fac-sim
lie of Cairo bath, in which the publ
in Vienna, in the spring and summer G
1878, can enjoy bath in the Arab fash
ion. The Egyptian part of the ground
will be studded with pigeon-houses an
fountains as in Egypt, and all the ed
fees will be furnished in complet
Egyptian style, the house of the schiel
moreover, containing a quantity of ayr
cultural implements used in Egypr
The tomb will be set off inside with
number of rare Egyptian antiquities
and will present a curious picture {

SCIENTIFICALLY. Simpson, the emf
nent director of the Chicago Academy
of Sciences, has been engaged during
the past winter, as we have already in
formed our readers, in prosecuting the
deep-sea explorations in Florida. He
first accompanied the United States
Coast Survey steamer Bibb, when max
ing soundings between Cuba and Yucca
tan for submarine cable, but found the
sea-bottom very poor in animal life. We
have previously mentioned that the bot
tom temperature in the deepest water
was about $3.50 F., which may possibly
account for the scanty fauna. The
bottom consisted of sand and globiger-
ina mixed, in which scarcely anything
occurred but shells, mostly dead. Some
of the specimens were identical with
those obtained by Gwin Jeffreys at a
similar depth off the European coast.
On their way back from the cable
work, the expedition made one haul of
the dredge off the Cuban coast, near
Havana, in $50 fNthoms water, and OBJ
tanned superb specimen of the very
rare Pentocrinus capm meduSae, the first
ever obtained so near our coast, and
perhaps hardly represented as yet in
any of our museums. After returning
to Key West the Doctor took charge
of the dredging on board the Coast
Survey steamer Bache, but ill-health
prevented his prosecuting this to any
extent.

Minus CHARAoTERs.-Quite an audible
smile, at the expense of Spiggles and
Lady, was created at Belville Hall, one
winter evening. The occasion was a
Fancy Dress Ball given by the Croesus
Club. 1t was understood that the men,
bers of the party were to dress in char
acter, and a heard, or usher, was station
ed at the door of the main saloon to an
nounce to the company within the diff
ferent characters as they entered. Young
Spiggles, being the son of millionaire,
and golden light of the Cr@sus, en-
joyed the freedom Of the club saloons,
and having been able to find no mas
querade dress quite up to his fancy, he
had concluded to appear in his usual
attire; and likewise his Aramanthea
Sophia, daughter of old Barnacle Bull
lion, hung upon his arm in her ordinary
evening dress of chignon, diamonds and
lace. "We don't trouble ourselves with
characters tonight" said the new
conner. Spiggles and Miss Bullion en-
tered, and their advent was announced,
in stentorian tones, by the usher GA

characters w.-Ledger.

BOwditch on IntemperanCe.

The following is brief summary Of
some of the principal points presented
in the "Third Annual Report of the
Board OF Health of Massachusetts," and
o paper read before the Boston Society
for Medical Observation, as published in
the Medical and Surgical Journal:
l. Stimulants are used everywhere,
and at times abused by savage and by
civilized man. Consequently intoxica-
ton occurs all over the world.
q. This love of stimulants is one of
tho strongest of human instincts. 1t
cannot be annihilated, but may be regu-
ted by reason, by conscience, by educa-
ton, or by law when it encroaches on
the rights of others.
g. Climatic law governs it, The ten.
dency to indulge in intoxication being
not only greater as we go from the heat
OF the equator towards the north, but
the character of that intoxication be.
comes more violent.
4. lntemperance is modified by race
as shown in the different tendencies tc
intoxication of different people.
5. Races are modified physically ant
morally by the kind of liquor they use
as proved by examination of the returns
from Austria and Switzerland.
6. Beer, native light grape wines ant
ardent spirits, should not be classed to
gether, for they produce very different
effects on the individual and upon tn
races.
7. Light German beer and ale can b.
used even freely without any apparen
injury to the individual, or without caus
ing intoxication. They contain yer.
small percentages Of alcohol a or 4,5 tt
6.5 per cent. Light grape wines, un
fortified by an extra amount Of alcohol
can be drunk less freely, but withou
apparent injury to the race, and with ez
liberation rather than drunkenness.
s. Ardent spirits, unless used YER
moderately, and with great temperance
and with the determination to omit ther
as soon as the occasion has passed TO
their use, are almost always injurious,
continued even moderately for any lengt
of time, for they gradually encroach o
the vital powers. If used immoderately
they dwarf intellectually, morally an
: physically, cause beastly nareotisn
which makes the victim regardless {
all the amenities and even decencies (
l life, or perhaps they render him fur
) ously crazy, so that he may murd'
his best friend.

OUT Door LIFE. Our girls want more
outdoor life, and less reading novels and
embroidering in rooms darkened with
green blinds. If there is any one thing
moro beautiful than another in garden
of flowers, that thing is beautiful girl,
with sun-bonnet on her head so wide
and capacious that you have to get right
square before her, and pretty near her,
to see the glowing cheeks that are sure to
be there if she is at all accustomed to
garden walks and works. Physically,
there can be nothing better for daugh-
tiers, and, indeed, for many wives, than
to take sole charge of a small flower gar
den. The benefits derived from early
rising, stirring the soil, shutting the pure
morning air, are freshness and glow of
cheek and brightness of eye, cheerfulness
of temper, vigor of mind and purity OF
heart. Consequently she must be more
cheerful and lovely as daughter, more
dignified and womanly as sister, and
more attractive and confdlng as a wife.
If you have not the dooryard ground,
then get a dozen pots and plant the seeds
of flowers to your taste. The care and
attention required to rear and train the
growing plants, occupies the mind to the
exclusion oftentimes of senseless novel
reading, a senseless waste of time. You
listless, pale-faced, fragile thing of girl,
throw off your mock delicacy, put on
gloves if you will, but work i'll the flower
garden till your cheeks vie in color with
the blush of the rose which you cult
vate.
