SWEET SCENTED FLowERs.-A CORE
spondent of the London Gardeners Mogd-
zine says: Being engaged in laying out
and planting newgrounds and a pleas
ure garden arould gentleman's resi-
dence, was asked to plant as many
sweet-scented flowers as possible. I irau
to ransack my memory for the materials
to enable ne to do as desired. On cogi-
tating over flowers and their odors
was at once struck by finding that the
greatest numbers of sweet-scented flow
ers are white, and out of all proportion
to The sweet-scented kinds in other
col0rs; yellow comes next; reds and
blaes are somewhat on par, and their
various shades follow the types, but the
rearer they approachto white the more
they are scented.

Exploration in Africa.

While Great Britain is sending out an
expedition in hopeless search for the north
pole, a small party of French scientists are
preparing, with the aid of the French
Government for an excursion into the I'm
explored regions of Africa, that land of
the negro and the Niger, the gorilla and
the Gaboon. East of the coast and be-
tween the mouths of the rivers we have
named is large region which has been
but partially penetrated by the white man,
and offers to adventures all the attractions
which an unknown country has for per-
sons of rowing disposition. Lying un-
der the equator, the coast is almost unin-
habitable because of the m;asma which
arises from the low lands, but the interior
is known to be the abode of savage and
hardy race of cannibals, to whom a stew
of Frenchman would be much more pal
atable than French stew. Du Chaillu
has made the acquaintance of the gorilla
of this region, but never attempted to go
into the interior as is the intention of the
party now preparing for the expedition.
This party is headed by four Frenchmen,
who will start upon their perilous tramp
from French commercial settlement on
the coast. They have arranged for a
bakers dozen of native sailors, who will
accompany them up the Okamba River in
a steamer as far as the stream may be
navigable, and row them thence through
the country of the Fan to the bor-
der of the land occupied by the Oky-
embos, tribe which stopped former ex-
petition in the same direction, though ii
cost them number of lives. The French
men hope to make peace with the natives
by giving them abundantly of those gaudy
nothings in glass and tinsel which, fan
more than music, have charms to soothe
the savage breast. If presents will not
avail force will be used, and the scientists
have hit upon the expedient, comical
enough to the white man, Of infusing a
| feeling of awe and terror among the SUI
! perstitious savages. One of the party has
arranged to carry concealed about his per.
son compact electrical machine which
operated at the will of the wearer, will
throw flashes from grotesque ornamen
worn on the head, or will shock the saw
age who, at some parley preliminary tc
battle, extends the right, or, for that mat
ter, the left, hand of Fellowship. In such
case little learning is far from being a
dangerous thing. The ruse recalls te
mind that practiced by Columbus, whose
knowledge of astronomy enabled him tC
foretell the coming of lunar eclipse, and
so practice, with the happiest results, upor
the superstitious credulities of the natives
The intention of the explorers is to push
on, if possible, to the sources of the Nile
To do so they will necessarily pass through
the country Of the Manguemas, who, like
the Okyembos, delight to banquet on hu
man flesh. If the expedition be success
full it will contribute largely to geographi
cal science, for which so much has beer
dared during the last quarter of a century
especially in Africa. Chicago Times.

The War Strength of the German
LandWehr.

The military contributor of the Cologne
Gazette says that in the event of new war
With France a much larger force Of land
Wehr will be available for service in the
field than was the case in 1870, when the
total strength of the landwehr troops thus
employed did not exceed that of two and
a half corps d'armee. The movable land
wehr battalions can, under the new organ
ization, be partly attached to the divisions
and brigades of the regular army, while
the fourth field battalions will be availa-
BILE for reserve and commissariat duty.
These 146 battalions, which are only to be
called out in case of war or mobilization,
will consist of 1904 officers and from 49,
696 to 148, 1896 men, with 5000 horses, thus
raising the total force of the German
army when on war footing to 1882 bat
talions, 745 of which, under the new in
creased establishment of twenty-nne bat
talions for each of the twenty-five corps
darmee, would be available for service in
the field. The artillery equipment of the
fourth field battallons is already pro-
vided; 800 field batteries and 81 re-
serve batteries are set apart for them,
which would allow Is batteries, or
96 guns, for each corps. The
writer adds that it Is very probable that
the landwehr artillery will be largely in
creased. AS to the yearly contingent, that
of the German army is smaller than those
of the Russian and French armies. Ac-
cording to the last returns, based on the
census of 1871, the number Of young men
of twenty on the lists was 500, 200. Of
this number, &c. 900 had been, by mistake,
entered twice over, $4,000 had emigrated
or had otherwise become unavailable, H.
$50 were qualified as one years service
men (einjahrige), 240 were morally dis
qualified" $4,000 were +" totally unfit for
service" $500 "not sufficiently fit for
service $4,000 "not sufficiently devel-
oped physically" 10000 were exempted
for family and other reasons, and 400
were in prison or under trial. The origi-
nal number of 900 men was thus re-
duced to 10000, to which were added
10000 men who for various reasons had
not joined in previous years, making a
total of 5000 men. Of these, however,
the number actually taken into the service
was only 1850, viz. 49, $50 for the
army and $500 for the navy.

DR.. LIvInsstone,s New Book,

THIS work has been looked for with the
greatest interest. Up to the day of his death
the doctor kept MISUNDERSTANDING the last
few weeks writing them with the red juice of

These records were in part brought home.
closely sealed, by STANLEY. The remainder
were brought by his faithful attendants,
who, at his death, embalmed his body, trans
ported it hundreds of miles on their shoul-
ders and accompanied it to England. 1t is
the most wonderful book of the age, and we
are glad to know that the American Publish
ing Company, of rs Randolph street, Chi
cago, have brought it out in a popular form,
beautifully illustrated, and at price within

A WORD IN SEAsoN.-Health is a bless

INSTRUMENTATION.

1t Is possible that some one who reads
the title of this article may find himself
guilty of failing to pronounce ca like sh
in shun. / find that my lady friend, who
is very precise in her language, will per
sist in accenting etiquette on the first, in
stead of the last syllable. My good min
lister, who has the greatest aversion to
anything wrong, was greatly surprised
when | mildly suggested to him that as
3Srdnt should be accented on the penult
while my musical niece mortified me the
other evening by pronouncing finale in two
syllables. I heard my geological friend
the other day explaining the su5ssdeuces of
the eartb's crust, but he should have ac-
cented the second instead of the first syl-
liable. The same mistake happened the
other day to my friend, the President of
the Reform Society, who spoke of the ca
carries Of certain people by acccnting the
first instead of the second syllable. He
also announced chat | would deliver an
address that evening, but knew it was
not polite TO tell him TO accent the last syl-
liable. Ny boy says that he left school at
recess, accounting the first syllable, and he
was 10th 70 believe that whatever the
meaning Of the word, it should be ac-
cented on the final syllable. Then my
friend, the President of the Debating
Club, who is great student of I" Cushing IS
| Manual" tells us that motion to adjourn
takes the precedence by accenting the first
instead of the second syllable. My other
lady friend says that she lives in house
having cupalow. She should consult the
dictionary for that word. But will close
by remalking that my legal friend, who is
very scholarly, always accents coadjutor
on the second instead of the third, where
the accent rightfully belongs.-Neao En-
