How COFFEE CAME To BE UsED.-It
is somewhat singular to trace the man
ner in which arose the use of the COM
mon beverage of coffee, without which
few persons In any half or wholly civil
lied country in the world now make
breakfast. At the time Columbus dis
covered America it had never been
known or used. 1t only grew in Arabia
CT Upper Utopia.
The discovery of its use as an beverage
is ascribed to the Superior of monas-
terry in Arabia, who, DESTROYS of prevent
ing the monks from sleeping at their
nocturnal services, made them drink the
infusion of coffee, on the reports of
shepherds, who observed that their
hocks were more lively after browsing
on the fruit of that plant. It's reputa-
ton spread through the adjacent coun-
tries, and in about two hundred years it
had reached Paris.
A single plant, brought there in TIA,
became the parent stock of all the
French coffee plantations in the West
Indies, and the French and Spanish all
over South America and the West In
dies. The extent Of the consumption
now can hardly be realized. The Unit
ed States alone annually consumes it at
the cost, on its landing, of from fifteen
to sixteen millions of dollars.

+ Touch OF NATURE IN COURT.-An
old woman whose face was full of Times
revengeful lines-whose hair was white
as snow-whose sight was hardly strong
enough to enable her to see the desk be-
fore which she tremblingly stood. And
His Honor said:
Good help such as you when second
childhood robs them of strength and
mind Poor old woman-you may gon'
She hesitated, and seeming to feel that
some explanation was necessary, she re-
piled:
cit was either drink or drown myself!
My troubles are too much for my heart" "
He pointed to the door and softly said
"My heart aches to see one so aged
and weak and tender brought here. If
you have home, go to it. If your old
heart is troubled, sit down, and will
talk to you after court closes.
She walked feebly out, tears in her
eyes, and when ''Jim Fig, the newsboy,
offered her score of pennies, hoping to
Tighten her burden, she shook her head
and said
''It's my old heart that aches, and
money can't ease it; Lord bless you,

A SOUTHERN GIRLS SLoGAN.-There
was charming girl, moderately tall,
slender, dark, and sweetly spoken, who
lived in samsll cottage with her father
and her brother. She had slow, de-
iberate method of enunciating and a
few peculiarities of pronunciation that
made her speech very delightful. Her
burden was, 'sOh, how you Northerners
have trampled upon us !" Then, pressed
to define her charges, she would plunge
into the very middle of the monstrous
tangle and wind herself up like poor fly
in a web. When this was done she
would ask, with contracted brows, Chow
can you expect women to know the
ms and outs of all these things ?" Then
she would go Indignantly to her 'spet"
(pit, small hot bed that all gardens in
that region contain) and make a boquet
for her visitor and would say, finally
CATER all, what I said about being
trampled upon is only sort of slogan
that we girls keep up for pride's sake.
The gentlemen have their cries, too :;
but when they meet Northern people
they always ask them to dine. One
cannot be expected to give up all appear
ances of being faithful to old interests.
You must allow little for vainglory.
At heart, we all love what is now our
country. You may believe that

AN INCIDENT OF THE Texas SToaM.-
A gentleman living up the bay says that
a negro man, with his wife and four
children, were forced to take a tree to
save themselves during the late storm.
The tree swayed to and fro with the vio-
lence of tho wind, and threatened to fall
with its heavy burden. The old couple
concluded that some one must be sacri-
feed to save the rest. After consul
tation the old woman said she was not
prepared to die, and urged the old man
to drop himself into eternity. But be,
too, was not ready, ard the matter was
compromised by launching the two
youngest children into the surging
waters. A few hours afterward they
were rescued and the old negro told the
story himself to those who saved him.

STATISTICS OF THE GLOBE. The earth
is inhabited by about 1,400, 100000 IL
habitants, namely 800, 100000 of the
Caucasian race $50, 1000, 900 of the Mon
golian 100, 100000 of the Ethiopian !;
200, 600, 900 of the Malay races and l.
100000 of the American Indian. All
these respectively speak :, 064 languages,
and possess 1000 different religions.
The amount of deaths per annum is 3d.
333, 333, or 81, 954 per day, $3.50 per
hour, go per minute, or 1 per
second. This loss is more than compen-
stated by the number of births. The
average duration of life throughout the
globe is 80 years. One-fourth of its
population dies before the seventeenth.
Out of TO- 900 persons only one reaches
his hundredth year, only one in 500 his
eightieth. and only one in 100 his sixty
fifth. Married people live longer than
unmarried ones, and a tall man is likely
to live longer than short one. Until
the fftieth year women have a better
chance for life than men but beyond
that period the chances are equal. Six
ty-fve persons out of 1000 marry. The
months of June and December are those
in which marriages are most frequent.
Children born in the spring are gener-
ally stronger than those born IN other
seasons. Births and deaths occur chief
ly in the night. The number of men
able to bear arms IS but one-eighth OF
the population. The population of the
United States is now over 40, 600, 600 OF
which one-eighth are negroes, with 20,
900 Indians, and three times as many
Chinese.
