What Makes the Durerences

It is said that American children are
spoiled by over-indulgence, and are con-
sequently ill-behaved and bad-man-
nered, but Japanese children, who are
treated with extraordinary Difference,
and made vast deal Of, are reputed to
be the quietest and pleasantest. Trav-
elers in Japan say that nothing is de-
MED there to child; his or her ques-
tion receives ready answer from the
most silent, and his request is granted
by the most churlish. All persons, in
every grade Of life, show little folks uni
form courtesy and gentleness, and why
these do not take advantage Of this
over-regard and tenderness, as they do
in the United States, is beyond ex-
PLANTATION, unless we admit that there
is q marked difference in the race.
The Japanese mother, however, is far
from being so happy as her American
sister. She is 30 wholly subordinated
to the child as to be injured and de-
graded. The father often beats her te-
cause the child has fallen down or met
with an accident. She has only two
functions in his eyes-to bear children
and enslave herself for them after their
birth. The effect of such superabund-
ant care and devotion is bad, too, upon
the child, who grows up without self
understanding or self-reliance. Ger
tainly, this 10 not true Of our offspring,
and it is curious to observe what re-
markable difference is developed in the
East and West By well nigh the same
treatment.

Europe's Rich City,

"a Frankfort-on-the-M Main, now contain
ing . population of about 100, 900, is re-
puted to be the richest city of its size
in the whole world. If its wealth were
equally divided among its inhabitants,
every man, woman and child would
have, It is said, 10000 marks, or some
$1,000 apiece. There are as may be
supposed q good many very poor people
in the town; but the citizens are, a. .
whole, in unusually comfortable cir
cumstances, more so probably than the
citizens Of any other capital in Ger
many or Europe. 1t is asserted that
there are 100 Frankforters worth from
$4,000, 900 to 5000, 900 each, and $50
who are worth $1,000, 900 and upward.
The city is one of the great banking
centers of the globe. Its aggregate
banking capital -is estimated at $780,
100000, more than one-fcurth of which
the famous Rothschilds, whose original
and parent house Is there, own and
control. The annual transactions in
bills Of exchange are in excess of $780,
100000. It's general trade and manu-
featuring industries have greatly: in
creased since the formation Of the Ger
man empire, to which Frankfort was
originally averse, being free city and
an opponent of Prussia until coerced in
July, 1866, by Gen. Won Falkenstein,
who entered it at, the head of an army
and imposed fine of 81 ,000.0 forms
for its insubordination. Frankfort is
such place for conventions and assem-
blies Of all sorts that it is very apt to be
full of strangers, and is consequently
very expensive and by no means satis-
factory to tarry in.

Silk from the Sea.

The sea yields many precious things
coral, amber and pearls-but it is not
generally known that in some parts of
the Mediterranean a species of mussel
is found of which the shells contain
one of the most beautiful textile mate
rials known. These shells are about
seven inches long and three inches
broad, and each of them contains a hank
or byssus of the fiber, weighing half a
drachm, and at first it presents moth
ing particular to the eye, being soiled
with mud and the remains of marine
plants. But, when washed and combed
the fibers are seen to be extremely
lustrous, glistenmg in the sunshine in
shades varying from golden yellow to
olive brown. Spun and woven in the
ordinary manner, stockings, gloves,
neckties and similar articles can be
manufactured from them, and they are
likewise suited for making the finest
lace. At present the production of
these fbers hardly exceeds 200 kilo-
grammes g cwt. 8 qrs.) year. Speci-
mems of these curious mussels and their
finished products were exhibited at the
great Paris Exhibition, but they ap-
pear to have been overlooked.

Population of Africa.

We cannot hope for many years vet
To have atything like aceurate statistics
on the population of Africa. Sevsfa1
regions, the population of which is GER
tainly great, viii probably long escape
anything like thorough examination.
There are, for example, in the regions
OF the great lakes, countries quite as
thickly populated as many Of the states
Of Entope. Stanley tells tbs of eoth-
tries OF Relatively Small extent; and
which yet possess millions Of inhabi-
tants. When we shall have succeeded
in making an approximate census of all
the populations, we shall probably reach
a figure considerably higher than the
present estimate. Some authorities ac-
cord to Africa not more than 100000
900 of inhabitants, others still less.
German geographers' suppose that
Africa contains somewhat more than
200,000,000 of inhabitants; the latest
English publications estimate the pop
ulation at 186, ,000,0 which, for an area
OF II 800, 900 square miles, gives an aver
age of sixteen inhabitants per square
mile, bf. specific population eleven and
one-half times less than that Of France.
Africa, which has fifty-seven times the
area of France, has probably scarcely
more than eight time the population.
The suppression of the slave trade, and
the influence Of European civilization,
may lead to an increase of population
very rapid and very great. 1t should
be observed that the appro1imative fig
ute Of the specific population, applied
10 the Rhole 5f. the African continent,
will not give just idea of the compact
charaEter of the populations of the in
terror. According to Behna, the negro
regions are by far the most populous
parts of the continent. If the popula-
tions are sparse In the desert parts,
they are very dense in other regions.
Thus, in the Soudan the population is
estimated at S0,000,000, or about SO per
square mile; the town of Bida, on the
Niger, has a population of $4,000 in
habitants. The population of East
Africa is estimated at about 100000,
and that of Equatorial Africa ut IL; ;oe0,-
coo. One-of the latest authorities d.
vides the population of Africa as fol-
lows among the great families into
which ethnologists have divided the
people; Negroes, 130,0O0,00O; Hamites,
20,000,000; Bantus, 100000; Fulahs,
S,000,000j Nubians, 1,50O,0OOj Hotten-
tots, $4,000. This would give a total
population OF 17s $4,000. These fig
ures are, Of course, only approximate,
and may be much modified by new and
more precise information. The Ban
tus, for example, who, according to F.
NJ. Muller, form at least one-quarter of
the population of Africa, might be found
to number 50,000,000. These data we
take from paper by M. A. Rabaud, in
the Bulletin of the Marseilles Geo
graphical Society.

Is Disease a Friend to Life :

At the last anniversary meeting of
the Medical Society of the District of
Columbia, DR.. A. F. A. King read to
crowded audience an essay entitled The
Conservative Influence of Disease on
Producing Longevity"
With much force of argument and
analysis, he labored to prove that dis
ease was not the terrible enemy to man
kind that it had been painted Ly the
terrors of humanity, but in reality was
a true and benefcent friend. He quot
ed from the celebrated DR.. Austin Flint
that @the existence of disease, rightly
considered, was an inestimable boom"
He said that the disease was not in
itself better than health, but that it con-
tributed to promote longevity relatively
to circumstances. He cited morbifc
conditions known as gastritis, rheuma-
tism, hemorrhage, mumps, and insisted,
with an earnestness that commanded
attention, and subtlety of logic that
inspired respect for his originality of
thought, that these diseases prevented
sudden death. -
In gastritis, the patient naturally re-
Trained from eating, and demanded CO.
pious draughts of cold water, treatment
which the most skillful surgeon found to
be the best. In rheumatism, the acute
pain demanded rest, and rest was found
to be just the thing needed, for the
articular symptom proved that heart
disease was the real enemy, and mus
cular e1ertion was the most fatal thing
for affection of the heart. Sowith other
diseases.

A wonderful Occurrence.

Since the days Of Ben Franklin and
the generation Immediately following,
it has been supposed that an umbrella
is common property. Within the MEM
ory of the oldest man living, there has
been found no exception to the rule un-
til the time, when DIR. Warren Frazier,
of this city, was on his way to st. Louis,
and, CHANGING to put his umbrella down
in the depot of the Ohio and Nissis-
sippi railroad at Cincinnati for q no-
ment, returned and found it gone. He
made diligent search, but left without
finding it. To his astonishment, when
he returned home he found awaiting
him letter from p. W. Williams, Of
Aurora, Ind, stating. that he had taken
it for his own; and had not discovered
the mistake until he reached home,
where he chanced to open it and found
the doctors name in it. He asked
what should be done with it, and when
advised sent it per express, prepaid.
This is an extraordinary variation of
the prevailing umbrella ethics of the
country, and deserves commendation.
