The coast OF Peru is within the re-
gion Of perpetual southeast trade.
winds, and though the Peruvian
shores are on the verge Of the great
southeast boiler, yet it never rains
there. The reason is plain. The
southeast trade. winds in the Atlantic
Ocean first strike the water on the
coast of Africa. Travelling to the
northwest, they blow obliquely
across the ocean until they reach the
coast of Brazil. By this time they
are laden with vapor, which they
continue to bear along across the con
tinent. dspositing it as they go and
supplying with it the resources Of
the Rio de IA Plata and the southern
tributaries Of the Amazon. Finally
they reach the snow'capped Andes;
h re is wrung from them the last par
ticle Of moisture that very low TEN
psrature can attract. Reaching the
summit OF that range, they now tum-
BILE down as cool and dry winds on
the Pacific slope beyond. Meeting
with no evaporating surface, and no
temperature colder than that to which
they were subjected on the noun
tain tops, they reach the ocean,
Thus we see how the tops of the
Andes become the reservoir from
which are supplied the rivers of Chill
and Peru.

Going to the Circus.

A circus has been exhibiting at San Antonio, Texas, and the other day mother who had let all her children go " to see the animals found her two sons, nine and twelve years old, prepar- ing to shoot their three-year-old sister from a cannon improvised from flour barrel. The boys had procured pow der, which they made into cartridge, and the little girl, squatting patiently in the barrel, awaited with solemn forti- tude the return of her brother from the kitchen with coal of fire to touch off tho piece of hooped ordnance. A sheet had been swung from the clothes line and begged to log of wood to shoot the child against, and she was swaddled in damp coffee sack to protect her from the flash of the powder, of which the cartridge contained two ounces, and unless the little innocent hung on nail inside the barrel, many of which stuck in from the hoops, it is probable that hers would have been double act, en- bracing, besides the role of a projectile, the leap through the canvassed hoop. And now we expect some solemn old owl who don't believe ill children having any fun at all, will cite this as a proof that they oughtn't to go to cir cuses. .-B0ston TrGnscript,

An EditOr's Dream.

Once upon time an editor dreamed that he was dead and in another world. He approached a city before him and knocked for admittance, but no one answered his summons. The gate re- mained closed against him. Then he cried aloud for an entrance, but the only response was sc ores of heads ap- bearing above the wall on the other side of the gate. At sight of him the owners of the heads set up dismal howl and one of them cried: "Why, didn't you notice that big egg gave you P At this ho-rid and most unexpected in- terrogation, the poor local turned in the direction of the voice to learn it's owner, when another voice shrieked: "Where's that piece you were going to write about my soda fountain ?" and close upon this was the awful demand: "Why did you write a piece about old Tomlinson's hens, and never speak of my new gate ?" Whatever answer he was going to frame to this appeal was cut short by the astonishing query: Why did you spell my name wrong in the programme ?" The miserable man turned to flee, when he was rooted to the ground by these terrible demands: "Why did you put my marriage among the deaths ?" He was on the point of saying the foreman did it, when a shrill voice madly cried: "You spoilt the sale of my horse by publishing that runaway?' and another
 eff I catch you alone I'll lick you for what you said about me when I was before the police court" Another ?' "Why didn't you show up the school question when I told you to ?' And this was followed by the voice of g female hysterically exclalming: "This is the brute that botched my poetry and made me ridiculous!" Whereupor hundreds of voices screamed: "Where | is my article? Give me back my article !" And in the midst of the horrid din the poor wretch awoke
 perspiring at every pore and screaming for help.-Staneford Advocate.

The Population of Africa.
DATA FURNISHED BY M. A. RABAUD TO THE
 GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.

We cannot hope for many years yet to have anything like accurate statistics on the population of Africa. Several regions, the population of which is cer- tainly great, will probably long escape anything like thorough examination
 There arc, for example, in the regions of the Great Lakes, countries quite as thickly peopled as many of the States of Europe. Stanley tells us of countries of relatively small extent, and which yet possess millions of inhabitants. When we shall have succeeded in mak- ing an approximate census of all the populations, we shall probably reach 0 figure considerably higher than the present estimate. Some authorities ac- cord to Africa not more than 100, 000, 900 of inhabitants others less still. Ger man geographers suppose that Africa contains somewhat more than 200, ,000,- 900 of inhabitants. The latest English publications estimate the population at lS6, ,000, ,000, which, for area of 11,500,- 900 square miles, gives an average of sixteen inhabitants per square mile, or a specific population eleven and one half times less than that of France. Africa, which has ffty-seven times the area of France, has probably scarcely more than eight times the population. The SUD- pression of the slave trade, and the in- fuence of European civilization, may lead to an increase of population very rapid and very great. It should be ob- served that the approximative figures Of the specific population, applied to the
 whole of the African Continent, will not give @ just idea of the compact character of the populations of the interior. Ac- cording to Behna, the negro regions are by far the most populous parts of the Continent. If the populations are sparse in the desert parts they are very dense in other regions. Thus, ill the Soudan the population is estimated at SO,OOO,- GOO, or about ffty-three per square mile the town of Bida, on the Nigers,
 has population of 80, ,OOOO inhabitants. The population of East Africa is esti- mated at about 30, 1000, 900, and that of Equatorial Africa at 4O,0OO,OO0. One of the latest authorities divides the pop ulation of Africa as follows among the great families into which ethnologists have divided the peoples: Negroes, 13O, GOO, GOO; Hannites, 20, 900, GOO Ban tus, 13. .OOO, GOO; Fulahs, s, S,O00.O 900; Nu- bians, 1,5OO,O0O; Hottentots, 50,O0O. This would give total population of 172, ,550,000. These figures are, of course, only approximate, and may be much modified by new and more precise information. The Bantus, for example, who, according to F. M. Muller, form at least one quarter of the population of Africa, mlgnt be found to number 50,00O,00 These data we take from paper by M. A. Rabaud, in the Bulletin of the Marseilles Geographical Society.

Sober Second Thoughts.

A bad habit is like 8 cat in that 1t has nine lives. And like cat also you must kill it nine times before you can be sure that it is dead.
 A great many story writers who flood the market with their trash could get large sum for their last novel if they would only promise that it should be the last.
 -Patrimony may be defined as some thing which everybody is glad to get. There is only one thing which has great CT charms, and that is matrimony.
 Rich people can better afford to be religious than others-for they can con- pei their servants to keep the lasts of the church, while they themselves keep the feasts.
 Tt is somewhat sad fact that some people have higher polish on their boots than on their manners. If their heads were only where their feet are how they would shine.
 The Parisian papers are giving this bit of good advice to bachelors : "Either marry 8 woman who is beautiful enough to live without a fortune or one who is rich enough to do without beauty"
 If we would have powerful mind s we must think if we wonld have faith full hearts we must love; if we would have strong muscles we must labor, These include nearly all that is valuable in this life.
 The man who professes to believe that evil Is only the under side of good, the dark side of the moon, and properly a component part of human life, will never have the satisfaction of dying from inflammation of the brain.
 All things must change. Friends must be torn asnnder and be swept along in the current of events, to see each oth- CT seldom, and, perchance, no more. Forever and ever in the eddies of time and accident we whirl away.
 We all love pleasure and abhor sor- row. No one will choose cloudy sky and rough path but these evils have their good parts, and those who really long for peace and happiness will try to find out and extract them instead of hur- rying along resentfully or with forced gayety.
 The old theory of getting up early is, at last, happily exploded. One can now go to bed and get up when he pleases without having that fatal prov erb flung in his teeth. The higher phil osophy tells us that even if we do "shorten our days," af the saying is, by getting up late, we at least lengthen our nights by the same process.

Rare Economy.

Many years ago we knew man-a good-natured, harum-scarum old sailor who, though an inveterate smoker and even more improvident than the average of his class, was great hand to save in the expenditure of matches. He would fill his pipe and then wait for an hour until he saw some other smoker pre- pairing to light up, when he would stand by to get 8 light himself ; and if the two pipes were successfully kindled with the one match he would exultingly remark, "I say, matey, aint that maxim economy tremble!' Then when Satur- day night came he would go on a spree, and spend as much money in whisky as would have kept him in matches for year.

five officers have been killed in Indian warfare and corresponding number wounded, besides proportionate num- Der of men killed and wounded. The actual expenditures of the War Depart ment for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1879, were $42, ,653, 723. 62. The esti- mates for the service of the fiscal year ending June 3O 1881, are $40, ,38O, ,428 93. The civil establishment includes salaries end contingent expenses of the per manent departmental offices, and these estimates amount to $1 ,159, ,46O. The military establishment is estimated for on the basis of 25, 45O enlisted men, the Signal Corps being allowed 45O men not included in the 25,0O0. Under this head the estimates for the current fiscal year were $29, 1885, 727.33; the appropria- tions to meet the same were $26, 978,- 847.33, and the present estimates are for S29, 319, 79478. The estimates for public works are $7,557, ,O34 AZ, which IS $396, ,043. 34 less than the estimates for 1879, $1I3, 946. 88 less than those for 1880, and $3, 237, ,46O 19 less than the appropriations for 1880. There were in service on June 30 1O,99O horses and 1O.O32 mules, which with an army of
 
 men.
 The report of J. A. Bentley, Com missioner of Pensions, shows that on the 30th of June last there were PAP, 755 persons in the United States receiving pensions from the Government. The highest point heretofore reached was in 1873, but the number now reported ex- ceeds the list of that year by 1, ,344. The present list is composed of 125, 15O army invalid pensioners, 81, ,174 army widows, children and dependent relatives, 1,844 navy invalids, 1,772 navy widows, &c.,, II, ,621 surviving soldiers of the war of 1872, and 1,194 widows of deceased soldiers of that war. During the year 31, ,346 new names were added and 908 names previously dropped were restored and 13, 497 for various reasons dropped. The aggregate amount of one years pension to all is $25, ,493, 742, 15, but the actual annual payment exceeds that sum by several million dollars and is due to accrued pensions. There will be de- ficiency in the pension appropriation for the current year, as nearly as can now be estimated, as follows: $5, ,0OO, 900 army pensions and $3O,OOO navy pensions. A very large portion of the new claims cannot be proceeded with until the soldiers military and hospital record can be obtained from the offices of the Adjutant General and Surgeon General, and the large number of calls which will soon be sent to them will doubtless cause greater delay in those offices than have heretofore been ex- perieneed.
