The Missing Link"

I hear (says q London correspondent,
that Prof. Huxley, and Mi. Stanley, the
African explorer, have been settling
for themselves the m~uch-vexed question
of the +" missing link" The details will
doubt be furnished in MI. SANKEY'S
book, which is expected to appear early
next month. Meanwhile the following
installment may interest your readers:
On one occasion the travellers observed
that the street of a village through
which his route lay was ornamented
with rows of peculiar looking skulls.
He was told that the quondam owners
of the skulls had been used for MAMA
(food) and that the race lived in the for
ests Of the country. The villagers also
called the wood jewellers 'Soko.' Mr..
Stanley, it seems, had not the opportu-
nifty to procure q live specimen, but pro-
cured a 'Soko' skull and skin. The
skull he lately forwarded to Prof. Hux.
10y, who appears to have decided on
ranking it with the human skull. The
skin, however, is declared to be that of
a monkey. The 'Soko' may turn out to
be only a monkey. but it seems clear that
there IL more of the man about him than
there was in the famous tJoe,' the Chin
ypAnxee, whom the late Mr.. Monteiro in
PRODUCED into England, and who died
not long ago at tire 'Zoo.'"

The Rain Tree of South America.

A singular and hitherto unexplaine
phenomenon is thus accounted for BY an
English traveller, Mr.. Spruce:
"The Tamia-caspi, or rain three OF the
eastern Peruvian Andes, is not q myth,
but a fact, although not exactly in the
way popular rumor has lately presented
it. [ did not know there was any doubt
as to the true original of the rain l
first witnessed the phenomenon in Sep
TENDER 1855, when residing ut Tarapoto
latitude six and q half degrees south,
longitude seventy-six degrees and twenty
minutes west), a town or large village q
few days eastward of M~oyohamba, and =
little more than 1000 feet above the sea
level. l had gone one morning at day
break, with two assistants, into the
adjacent wooded hills, to botanic. =
A little after seven o'clock We came
under a lowish spreading tree, from
which, with a perfectly clear sky over
head, q smart rain was falling. A
glance upward showed q multitude of
cicadas sucking the juices of the tender
young branches and leaves, and squirt
ing forth slender streams of limpid fluid.
We had barely time to note this when
we we're assailed by swarms of large black
ants, which bit and stung fiercely, and
obliged us to beat q retreat, my compan.
ions calling out Al they ran, 'Tamia.
caspi! Tamia-caspi!' When we had
shaken off our ASSISTANTS, / ventured tc
approach the spot 30 near AZ to make out
that the ants were greedily licking w
the fluid rs it fell"

AHodel Speech.

Apropos of the May meeting in Lon
don, the correspondent of an English
Journal cites the following rs a model
speech for dinners attended by a bishop
u two. He says heard it made himself
a year or two ago: "My Lord Bishop
of Gloucester and Bristol, and you, my
Lord Bishop of Bath Wells, and you, my
Lord Bishop Of Rodor and Mani have
much pleasure in supporting the resolu-
ton which you, my Lord Bishop of
Gloucester and Bristol, proposed, and
you, my Lord Bishop of Bath and we'll,
seconded. My Lords, l had the honor,
= year OF two ago, Of breakfasting with
my friend, the Lord Bishop of Gibraltar,
and. my Lords / asked his Iordship, in
the jconfdence OF private friendship,
what he thought Of this society. And
what, my Lord Bishop Of Gloucester and
Bristol, and you, nay Lord Bishop of
Bath and Wells, and you, my Lord
Bishop of Sodor and Man, do you think
his Lordship's answer was? He said,
my Lords, Il think it a very good socie-
ty.' And 50, my Lords, do T." And he
sat down.

A Mighty Mean Trick.

Low skeptical fellows are always ex-
posing spirits. The mediums scarcely
get hold of q good thing, when some
body comes a grab game of some sort and
breaks up the seance. 1t it not very
long since even Daniel Webster was
treated with signal discourtesy. A base
minded, scheming man obtained entrance
to a seance where Daniel Webster hab-
itually m~aterialized, walking from the
cabinet across the xoom,s looking ~
Aeshad hooked IA life,S UT mailing not
the slightest sound Of a footstep. The
base-minded mar tossed a number of
asSge trunk tacks, which have very large
heads and always fall point upwards,
upon the floor where Daniel Webster
always walked. The consequence was
that when the ~exponnder of the costitu-
ton came out Of the cabinet and began
to walk across the room he suddenly
paused, and lifting n foot, applied his
hand 10 the sole thereof. Upon taking
another step he paused again, and in q
low voice remarked "Ouch!" Shortly
after he had lost his balance and sat
down on the floor, and Immediately
became very profane, and retreated into
the cabinet greatly Disguised. - Erery

Strength Of Greek Soldiers.

The physical superiority of the ante
Alexsndrian Greeks to the hardest and
most robust nations of modern times is
perhaps best illustrated by the military
statistics of Xenophon. According to
the author of the " Anabasis," the com.
plete accoutrements of q Spartan soldier,
In what We would call heavy marching
order, weighed seventy-fve pounds, ex-
elusive of the camp, mining and bridge
building tools, and the rations Of bread
and dried fruits which were issued in
weekly installments, and increased the
burden Of an infantry soldier to ninety,
ninety-6ve and sven . full ono hundred

the rate of four English miles a. hour

DaId Mountain.

~Extravagant reports have been pub
lished recently of the rending asunder
Of Bald m0unteiA, in North. CaroHna,
the scene of the earthquake hoax of q
few years ago. A correspondent of the
Charleston Nsacs, who has visited the
Place writes. "The object Of our guest
was found TO be = crack about 100 Yards
in length, about four feet in width, and
Of unknown depth. The c~revice, which
runs nearly due east and west, is PARALLEL

brow Of the precipice, which marks the
southern boundary Of the mountain.
That it il of recent origin wal plainly to

TO the 0onclusion thst the crevice merely
marks the separation Of : very large sec-
ton Of the cliff from tho body 81 the

An Accomplished American Abroad.

An Accomplished American Abroad.
l crossed the British channel with q
party of about twenty who had crossed
the Atlantic together, being from New
York and New England. Among them
was a New England soap boiler, an ex-
hibitor at the Paris exposition, l believe,
who was much looked up to by his COM
panions, owing to q singular talent he
possessed-that of snoring. He carried
about with him in his pocket book a
clipping, from an Iowa newspaper, de-
scriptive of the exploits of an inveterate
snorer in a sleeping car, and this extract
he was made to produce and read in all
companies with full sternutatory accom-
paniment, and very amusing it was.
He had developed snoring into q fine
art, and, indeed, there is no wonder
that he had attained considerable per-
lection, since, as he confided to me, he
had been made to go through the per-
Torrance at least six times a day on the
voyage across. At Dieppe / lost sight
of this accomplished artist, but not for
long. About 1l:3O the same evening |

just dropped of to sleep when q stem
torian snore awoke the stiffness of the
night and me with it. Then came a
burst Of laughter, then another snore
and more laughter. l at once recog-
nized the mellifluous notes of my. sap
onaceous friend. Getting ont of bed, I
slipped out on the balcony, and, guided
BY the snoring gamut, went along to a
lighted window, through which were Wis
IDLE the nasal artist, his admiring and
untiring audience, and sundry bottles
which contained or had lately contained
something stronger than mn ordinair.
After listening for q few moments, re-
turned to my room, and asI passed along
the gallery / noticed that almost every
door was opened to admit of the pro-
trusion of q more or less disheveled
head, from which proceeded torrents of
objurgation, either in the gutteral tones
of the GaM or the softer but not less ex-
pressive accents of the Anglo-Saxon.-

In filing jars, il there is one left only
partly full, set it aside until . fresh
quantity is prepared, then fill up and
seal. Never put away q jar partly filed;
it will be more than likely to spoil.
THE fire for canning should be steady;
it ruins fruit to have it simmer over .
slow fire; absolute boiling is necessary
to its preservation, and unless this is
brought about quickly, much of the
delicate flavor is driven off in steam, and
fruit so loses its fine color.
Pick one peck of spinach and wash
thoroughly, drain and put it in a sauce
nan with q little salt, and cover with hot
water. Boil one-half hour or until ten
der; when done pour into a collander
and press the water out. Cut up fine,
season with butter, pepper and salt, and
set into an oven q few minutes. Serve
with hard-boiled eggs cut in slices.
CANNED blackberries are very nice if
put into q porcelain kettle; brought to
a boiling heat; sugar added according to
taste, and cooked fifteen minutes. Stir
AZ little u possible. and seal boiling hot
hot in glass jars If there is much juice
dip out a portion before adding the SUI
gar; it will serve for making jelly. Cur
rent or lemon juice must be added to
insure its firmness, as these fruits are not
tart enough to jelly we'll without.
For raspberry jelly use berries gather
ed early in the season, az they make jelly
more readily. Use a pound of sugar to
a pint of juice, strained through a fan
mel bag, boil 20 minutes in q tin pan or
shallow vessel. Make a small quantity
at a time. In using the quantity that 2
pounds of sugar made, makes a very stiff
Jelly, whereas if made in the ordinary
way it is not stiff.
For rhubarb pie, stew rhubarb; add
the grated rind and juice of a lemon
the we'll beaten yolks Of 2 eggs, and
sweeten with white sugar; line pie tins
with good crust and fill with rhubarb
bake until the crust is of a delicate
brown; beat the whites to a stiff froth-
it may be necessary to add the white OF
another egg-and 3 tablespoonful OF
powdered sugar; flavor with vanilla and
spread over the top of the pies; return
to oven until of a light brown. The
eggs and lemon given are enough for two
pies.
