A. A. de Seria Pinto. young Portu-
guese traveller, has just completed the
crossing of Africa on the line of DR..
Livingstone's first expedition, going, how
ever, from the west coast inland and thus
reversing the great explorers course.
He reports the discovery of race with
features like the Hottentots, but white,
and. as the collegian said, covered all
over with no hair. This is "important, if
true;" but the great ancestral Pinto has
passed into history as the facile princeps

dress, in furniture-but what solid benefit
will it be to you? Or is it some luxury
for the table. that you can do as well with

your money. Or you need a new carpet,
new sofa, new chairs, or new dress; you
are tempted to buy something ltile
handsomer than yoo at first intended, and
while you hesitate the dealer says to you,
" 1t is only triIle more, and see how far
prettier it is" But before you purchase,
stop to think. Will you be better off a
year hence, much less in old age, for hav-
ing squandered your money? Is it not

for the moment; you soon tire of them,

EFFECT OF FLOWERS ON HEALTH.-
Contrary to a popular belief" says a
writer in CasselrS Magaajne, it has been
recently found by an Italian professor
that fine vegetable perfumes exercise q
positively beneficial influence on the at
mosphere. by converting the oxygen of
the air into that powerful and, therefore,
purifying agent, ozone. The essences
found by him to produce the most ozone
are precisely those which usage has Sc.
lected as the most invigorating, such as
cherry. laurel, cloves, lavender, mint.
juniper, lemon, fennel and bergamot, sew
eral of which are ingredients in the re-
freshing eau de cologne. Anise, nutmeg,
thyme, narcissus and hyacinth flowers,
mignonette, heliotrope and lilies of the
valley also develop ozone; in fact, all
flowers possessing a perfume appear to do
so, whereas those having none do not,
This interesting intelligence will be graft
flying TO all lovers of flowers, and the
cultivation Of these lovely disinfectants Of
nature should be promoted in all marshy
or foul places"

How THE NUTMEGs GRow.-Nutmegs
grow on little trees which look like little
pear trees, and are generally over twenty
feet high. The flowers are very much
like the lily of the valley. They are pale
and very fragrant. The nutmeg is seed
of the fruit. and mace is the thin covering
over this seed. The fruit is about as
large as a peach. When ripe it breaks
open and shows the little nut inside. The
trees grow on the islands of Asia and in
tropical America. They bear fruit for
seventy or eighty years, having ripe fruit
upon them at all seasons. A fine tree in
Jamaica has over four thousand nutmegs
on it yearly. The Dutch used to have all
this nutmeg trade. as they owned the
Banda Islands, and conquered all the
other traders and destroyed the trees. To
keep the price up, they once burned three
piles of nutmegs, each of which was as
large rs n church. Nature did not SYM
pathize with such meanness. The nut
meg pigeon. found in all the Indian
islands, did for the world what the Dutch
had determined should not be done-car
ried those nuts, which arc their food, into
all the surrounding countries, and trees
grew again, and the world had the bene-
tit.-B0ston Journal Of Commerce.

HONESTY BEFORE ETIQUETTE. There
are those who nurse their tastes up to so
fine point that mora! worth may be at
aay time eclipsed by a badly fitting gar
ment or shoe, or Il violation of grammar,
spelling, or etiquette. This is sheer folly,
as one must needs to take leave of the
world if he would avoid these little I'M
plcasantnesses. If the perpetrator have
been IN upright soul and an honest heart,
we would rather take him or her by the
hand, than thousands whose dress. con-
versation and manners are oracularly
styled faultless. OF course, one prefers
greatheartedness and refinement COM
bined; but if to gain the latter the former
must be dispensed with, it is, in our opin-
ion, too great II sacrifice. We have seen
people whose teeth were quite set on
edge by the chance mispronunciation of a
word to whom an act of downright i'm
morality would be far less dstasteful. 1t
is unnecessary to pronounce a verdict on
such surface people. Let them keep on
skimming life till it be thinned to their
taste.

zoospores capable of being produced from

calculation. 1t is easy for a million of
conidia to be developed from one such
plant, each producing five to eight ZOO
spores. 1t can scarcely be considered
marvellous that the white rust should be

III The angels had wings, what die they
want ladder for to climb into Heaven?"
This was a puzzler for the bishop. He
cleared his throat several times, grew red
in the face and hesitated; but ut last
bright thought struck him. Turning
toward the school. he said: "As one little
child has asked this question, perhaps
some other little child can answer it. Now
can any one tell me why the angels want
ed the ladderP" Back came the answer
from n remote corner of the room, " Be-
cause they were moulting, sir!" The good
bishop sat down.

THE HUMAN FACE A MASK.--So inscru.
table may the human face become, that
frequently it is but a mask which conceals
the real character. The men and women
most famous for heartless cruelty have
often been celebrated for their handsome
faces; writers of fiction have not been un-
mindful off fact, and Faust is represent
ed as being handsome man; while the
German fishermen sing of the sirens who
drag mems souls down to perdiion with
their faithful dover of beauty. Some faces
are unreadable and tell nothing of the
owners character. The merrest men now
and then have sober faces, and the most
serious frequently have cheerful ones.

EAT ONIoNs.-Few people dream of the
many virtues of onions. and those few are
enthusiastic for the benefcent bulb and
believe it panacca for every i'll. Lung
and liver complaints are certainly benefit
ed, often cured, by n free consumption of
onions either cooked or raw. Colds Weld
to them like magic. Don't be afraid of
them--especially if you are married.
Taken at night all offence will be wanting
by morning. and the good effects will
amply compensate for the trilling annoy
ance. Taken regularly they greatly pro-
mote the health of the lungs and the
digestive organs. An extract made by
boiling down the juice of onions to u
syrup, and taken as medicine, answers
the purpose very well, but fried. roasted
or boiled onions are better. Onions are q
very cheap medicine within everybody's
reach, and they are not by any means as
"bad to take" as the costly nostrums a
neglect of their use will necesstate.
KEEPING MEAT FRESH.-The system of
protecting animal substances by securing
the coaguatOn of their albumen and ex-
clusion of air, is attracting in England
Just now, according to the London Country
Gentleman. n good deal of attention. The
process known as the japanese method
consists in placing raw flesh in porcelain
vessels and pouring on it boiling water,
whereby the albumen on the surface is
quickly coagulated and forms protection
against the further action of the water.
Oil is thon poured on the surface of the
water, so as to prevent the access of air
and consequent putrefaction of the meat
The journal alluded to- in commenting on
this method. says it is undoubtedly pref
erable to that practiced in the process of
preserving timed meats. which appears
to consist in boiling them for such a
length of time that almost all their flavor
is destroyed, and the ultimate result is a
mass of tasteless shreds of muscular fibre.

WAR ON THE M0RMONS.

A vigorous prosecution of the Mormon
policy, outlined in the dispatch published
yesterday morning, would go far towards
winning back for oar government the respect
forfeited by Evarts' ~farcical letter respecting
Mormon emigration. But unfortunately an
element of chance enters into the admins
tration of justice in Utah and by it the inten-
tiens of the government, supposing them to
be sincere, may be frustrated. Before the
Grand Jury to meet next month the u. S.
District Attorney will prosecute various par
ties for violations of the a~nti-polygamy law,
but if that Grand Jury happens to be pro-
Mormon in sentiment, we need not expect
their prosecution to amount to much. Nor
need we look for any very earnest efforts
being made to secure the endowment house
records, if a majority of the jury are DESTROYS
of having the secrets of those records lemaln
%undivulged. II is true that any practicing
~polygamist, or any one who processes to re-
gard polygamy as an institution above the
law, is ineligible for jury duty but the secur-
ity conferred by this provision is of little
moment. Leaving out those known to be
polygamlsts, the District Attorney will have
to depend simply upon his challenge in de-
Gliding whether a Mormon juryman is a be-
lever or non-believer in ~poIygamy as a
divine ordinance and to suppose that the
answer given in response to his challenge will
always be the truth would be an as
sumption not warranted by the NANTES
tations hitherto made of Mormon character.
In Utah the jury lists from which the grand
and petit Jurors are drawna are prepared un-
der the provisions of the Poland bill. The
bill says nothing about Morlnons and Cen
tiles, but nevertheless it is so framed that I'M
der it tile jury urn contains the names of one
hundred Mormons and one hundred GentiIes
each written Oh a separate slip of paper, and
from those slips, we'll mixed, the Grand Jury
if drawn first and then the Petit Jury. The
District Court and the Probate Judge shall
alternately select the name of a male citi-
zen of the United States, who has resided in
the district for the period Of six months next
preceding, and who can read and write the
English language" Those names are to be
written on slips of paper, as aforesaid. Now
since the Clerk of the Court is a Gentle
while the Probate Judge is invariably a Nor
mon, it results that the jury is half and half.
Hence the I" hazard of the die will enter in
to next months prosecutions, unless Uncle
Sam should manage to cold-deck his Mormon
wards, a performance of which our venerable
and respectable Uncle is not to be suspected.
Before we expect too much, then, Of the
criminal suits soon to be instituted, let us

Some kindly remembering friend sends us
from London a copy of the american Trurel-
Ter, a Journal claiming to be the special Amer
lean organ in Europe. To show how valid is
the Traveller claim to this title we may state
that besides a full-page engraving of "Vic-
toria c. Woodruff, candidate for the Presi-
dency of the United States" it comes out in
a four-colunn article in which Mrs. Wood
hull's merits as a Presidential candidate are
discussed with as much gravity as could be
introduced into a comparison of Tilden's with
Grants chances of securing the prize for
whose possession each is striving. Ever
since the little argument concerning the duty
to be levied on tea imported into the colonies,
johnny Bull has been a little weak on the
subject of American politics, although it is
doubtful if any other instance can be cited in
which a British journalist is off wrong so
wide as the Traveller is concerning Mrs.
Woodhulls candidacy"

Dispatches from Cape Town enter some
what infinitely into the terms of peace vouch-
safed the vanquisled Zulus. How long will
people SO high spirited and warlike as the
South African tribes have shown themselves
to be- how long will they consent to walk
patiently in the leading strings provided for
them in the agreement signed by their chiefs?
The importation of arms from any quarter
and of merchandise from the sea coast, must
cease. War can only be declared with the
Residents approval, upon which will also
depend the succession to the craftsmanship
and the punishment of British subjects con-
victed of crime. Even the meekest, most
unmartial Of races would be apt to make Wig
orous protest against such inroads OH the lib
erty they had long enjoyed, but what are we
to expect from the fierce Zulus as soon as the
faint-hea1tedness caused by their recent de-
feats passes away? It is not likely that .
policy on the life Of a Zululand Resident
would rank much, higher with any well con-
dncted insurance company than would one
on the Resident at Cabul and the fate Of ~
last Afghan Residents was foretold months be-
fore the mutiny. .
