THE ZANZIBAR SLAVE TRADE,

The Zanzibar slave question has entered
upon new phase, which may, unless the
British Government acts resolutely and
carefully, lead to serious complications
with France. The latter, it seems, has
accepted the protectorate over Zanzibar
and promised 80 let Sultan Seyid Burgasb
import 10000 slaves under the French
flag. These negotiations occurred during
the Presidency of M. Theirs, and are said
to have been the work of Rem1sat. The
opposition to the abolition of the slave
trade, which was hitherto secret, has now
become open, and places England IN
critical position. In the meantime, Sui
tan Seyid Burgash shows his subjects
that he means 10 enforce the treaty with
ENGLAND. On the 18th Of June an Arab
chief was thrown by his order into prison
for selling slaves. Whether the arrival
of the British man-of-war, the WolYer-
inc. from the East, Indies, on the same
day, had anything to do with the matter
is difficult to say. On the 10Th Of the
same month the Glasgow arrived with
the Admiral, and two days later the MIN
BILE; so England is now represented at
Zanzibar by five vessels. Two more are
yet to join them.

THE CHINESE STRIKE.

The recent etrike of the Chinese Girls
pins, in North Adams, Mass, is one Of the
most amusing on record. 1t appears that
the services of the celestial shoemakers
were contracted to the proprietor of the
factory, Mr.. Sampson, by Charley Sin,
for SO much per annum. Charley Sin
seems to have been near relative of
that bland and childlike heather Chinee
who played the memorable game of eu-
chre, and he understood his game. He
received handsome compensation him.

In addition, he received handsome pres

fact, seems to indicate that Chsrley Sin

surpass him in sharpness, cunning, and
knowledge Of human nature. The result
OF all this was that Charley Sin was rap.
+ idly getting rich and his fellow-shoemak-
ers were rapidly getting poorer They
could not understand this conundrun,
until is was solved for them by some Of
the American residents of North Adams
who had taken violent dislike to Charles
Sin. They explained 10 Them that they
were not getting sufficient com pensation
for their la Dor, and that the money which
J. properly belonged to them was going in
8 to Sins capacious pockets. Having got
this idea firmly fixed IL their hea Is, they
at once proceeded to express their dissstis.
: faction in their own peculiar way. In.
stead OF leaving in body, holding meet
= lngs, passing resolutions, and loafng
about the llage, they assembled in the
factory and commenced to shout. Thew
rushed from room to room, shouting. and
screaming, and gesticulating, waving their
arms about their heads swearing in the
choicest Chinese, ana creating such,,a hub.
bub that the whole village speedily gath
cred in tie street Charley Sin tried to
pacify them, but they rushed at him in SO
violent manner that he soon beat re-
treat into the street. Mr.. Sampson then
tried to address them, whereupon they
screamed all the louder. Mr.. Sampson
then lost his patience, and, as his name
sake went into the Philistines, he went
into the heather Chinee and elected them
one after the other down the stairs and
into the street. This cooled their ardor
and the next morning they came round
and had talk. Mr.. Sampson promised
to regulate Mr.. Charles Sin and put TIE
brakes on his swindllng propensities.
whereupon the shoemakers all went to
work again with good will, and there
has been no trouble since.

Training the Cucumber.

Wherever we go we see the cucumber
In the open air suffered to run on the
ground This is no doubt relic of En-
glish culture. There 1t is necessary. The
climate is not hot enough, and the plants
have to be started, if not grown altogether,
in low, fiat glass frames. But where the
cucumber grows wild, it spreads over
bushes and trees, and the growth and pro.
duct are enormous. All plants with ten
drills prefer to ramble in this way. The
grapevine, as is well known, seems fairly
to rejoice when 1t can find large mass Of
twiggy brush to ramble over rs II wills,
and so does the cucumber No one who
has not tried can have any idea of the lux.
urious growth Of a cucumber when train
ed to q stake which has set of stubby
side branches left along its length. A
great advance in this style Of culture is
that the plants occupy far less ground
than when permitted to spread over the
surface in the usual way. This is great
gain to small gardcns--and to large ones,
for that matter; for If we have land
enough and to spare, few Of us have time
to waste in preparing more of 1t than is
necessary for the perfection of crop

The Turning Points of Life.

WHAT we call turning point" is SIM
ply an occasion which sums up and
brings to result previous training. Ac-
cidental circumstances are nothing except
to men who have been trained to take adj
vantage of them. Erskine made himself
famous when the chance came to him of
making great forensic display; but un-
less he had trained himself for the chance,
the chance would only have made him
ridiculous. There is the story told of
some gentleman, who, on battlefield
happening to bow with much grace to
some officer who addressed him, a cannon
ball just went through his hair, and took
off the head of one behind him. The
officer, when he saw the marvellous escape,
justly observed that no man ever lost by
politeness. There is q man in Berkshire,
England, who has park with walled
frontage of seven miles, and he tells of a
beautiful little operation which made a
nice little addition to his fortune. He was
in Australia when the first discoveries of
gold were made. The miners brought in
their nuggets, and took them to the local
banks. The bankers were little nervous
about the business, uncertain about the
quality Of the gold and waited to see its
ShuI dStCi CStdOlloHCu. lulS uldu hdA a
taste for natural sciences and knew some
thing about metallurgy. He tried each
test, solid and fluid, satisfied himself of
the quality of the gold, and then, with all
the money he had or could borrow, he
bought as much gold as might be,
and showed profit Of 100000
in the course of a day or two. His "luck'
was observation and knowledge, and a
happy tact in applying them. The late
Joseph Hume went out to India, and
while he was still young man he accu-
mulated considerable fortune. He ap-
piled himself to the hard work of master
ing the native language, and turned the
knowledge to most profitable account. On
one occasion, when all the gunpowder
had failed the British army, he succeeded
in scraping together large amount of the
necessary material and manufacturing it
for the troops. When he returned to En-.
gland he canvassed with so much ability
and earnestness for seat in the East In
dia directorate, that he might carry out
his scheme of reform, that, though he fail
ed to get the vote of certain large pro-
prietor of stock, he won his daughters
heart and made a prosperous marriage.
And marriage is, after all, the Quickest
bit of luck" when it is all it should be.
There is, then, in truth, no "luck" There
are turning points in life, moments, crit
ical moments, that are worth more than
years; nevertheless great occasion is on
ly worth to man what his antecedents
have enabled him to make of it, and our
business in life is to prepare for these su-
preme moments, these hours when life de.
ponds on the decisions Of the instant
Whatever OF truth is yelled under the pop.
ular idea of luck and chance is, rightly
considered, an incentive to the busiest in.
dustry, not an excuse for folded hands and
idle dreams.-Frederick arnold.

The Foot OF a Horse.

The human hand has often been Ia
ken to illustrate Divine wisdom-and very
well. But have you ever examined your
horses hoof! 1t is hardly less curious in
its way. Its parts are somewhat more
complicated, yet their design is simple
and obvious. The hoof Is not, as it APP
pears to the careless eye, a mere lump of
insensible bone fastened to the leg by a
joint 1t is made up of series Of thin
layers or leaves, Of horn, about five hun
dred in number, and nicely fitted to each
other, and forming lining to the foot
itself. Then there are as many more lay
ers, belonging to what is called the "cofiin
bone," and fitted into this. These are
elastic. Take quire of paper and insert
the leaves one by one into those of another
Quire, and you will get some idea of the
arrangement Of the several layers. Now,
the weight of the horse rests on as many
elastic springs as there are layers in his
four feet-about 1900; and all this is con.
trived, not only for the convenience of his
own body, but for whatever burdens may
be laid on him.-Erchangs.
