WILD ANIMALS IN AFRICA.

Although the gradual spread of the
population toward the interior of AT
RIGA is driving the wild animals fur
ther and further inland, and though
they are consequently difficult to reach
in the more inaccessible haunts to
which they have retreated, yet the
larger wild animals have, with one or
two exceptions, scarcely suffered any
diminution from the advancing tide
of civilization. Ostriches have suffer-
ed, perhaps, the most, but only to ex-
change q wild for domesticsted state.
Elephants are frequently seen within
a short distance of southern and south
eastern coasts. Hippopotami are
abundant. Even the larger beasts of
prey are by no means uncommon, and
tigers are especially depredators. If
the reports of diamond diggers in the
Northwest are to be believed, new
animal has lately made its appearance
as q candidate for tho honor of being
chased by an enterprising sportsman.
1t is called by the bushmen, or natives,
the "besr lion," and is described as
being about the size of lion, but far
stronger in make, and with tremen'
dous head and neck. Its legs are
much shorter than lions, but much
stouter, and is apparently far more
powerful. Its color is dark yellow,
with black spots. 1t runs or creeps
along the ground, but does not bound
like . lion. 1t has sometimes been
seen accompanied by smaller one
probably q cub-so that the race is
apparently not yet quite extinct, what
ever the animal may be.

COST or KEEPING ARMIES.

A writer to the Graphic complies
some interesting figures of the cost Of
maintaining European armies. In 1865
Germany contrived to exist with a
budget of $155.OOO.OO0. In 1879 the
figures rose to $3.50. 100000. The heav-
lest budget to-day are those of France
and Russia. 1t costs France $685., ,0OO,-
600 to carry on the business of the ma
ton; it costs Russia $535, 100000. En-
gland and Holland alone of all Euro
pean States show some decrease in
their national debts, The total debts
of the States having risen from $13,-
13O,OOO,OOO to $2l,62O,OOO,OOO. Nearly
a third of the total expenditures of
Europe are spent in maintaining ar
mics. In this respect Russia stands
first, England follows; then comes
France, and next Germany. Since
the above was published come the
French estimates for 1881. These
show no diminution. The expendi-
ture is estimated at 9, ,773, 39l, ,474 francs
OF this sum the War Department eats
up 874,00O,0OO francs, being an IN
crease of 100000 over last year; and
the Navy Department 16S,OOO,OOO
francs, being an increase of 4 100000.

GROWING OLD.

Yes, we are all growing old, though
unconsciously, and the current OF life
flows on as smoothly as ever; indeed,
the fuller the current, the more noise
less the flow. And months and years
are, after all, so very much alike that
they pass without special observation,
and we begin to get old before we
think of it. And when we sit down
to simple sum in arithmetic-the sub
traction of the year of our birth from
the current year-we are astonished at
the answer, and are so doubtful of its
correctness that we go over it second
time, but always with the same result.
Children grow up around US, but we
get used to that, and seldom stop to
compute their ages aud realize the
swift flight of the years. In fact, our
children never get old to us. The wife
who has stood lovingly and faithfully
at our side so long never changes, and
is always the fair young bride of the
old and happy days. And SO with
husband-to the wife. Though his
hair might haye grown gray in some
way which we do not understand, and
his firm step may seem little less
elastic or firm than it was. the hus-
band does not seem to have changed
much, after all. He is to US the same
strong, manly one, whom we loved so
much, and to whom we confided so
much just little while ago. To be
sure, the few friends of our youth that
remain are all gray-headed, but we do
not think much of that, for we all
seem to be using the same fashionable
There is nothing in that to
attract special attention. Some one
be may have been philosopher-has
said that if we doubt whether we are
really growing old we should look in
The face of friend whom we have not
seen for years. The preacher tried that
\ few days ago. He did more he look
ID in the face of a friend whom he had
not seen for nearly forty years. What
mis- thought Of him was he does not
know. They were both too polite to
express their thoughts. He knows
hat he kept wondering, and wonders
yet, what had happened to his friend
hat he should look so very old.

SPOOKS AT COSHOCTON.

Just east of the town of Coshocton,
Ohio, and near the Beach Hollow
mines, is a cluster of frame dwelling
houses, in which live number of
miners. Within the last week several
of these miners packed up their house.
hold goods and moved out of the clus-
ter, and that, too, for q rather odd
cause, When the mines were opened
and the Pan Handle road was built in
1861, there stood on the site of the
dwelling houses dozen boarding
shanties, where the lahorers were ac-
commodated with food. In one of the
shanties lived bnxom lass named
Mary Mulhaney, who was SO popular
as invariably to be spoken of as sthe
sweet Mary Mulhaney.' All the young
miners In the neighborhood fell in love
with her, but she rejected every ad-
vance, except such as were made by
one Henry Moore, railroad man, In
October of that year it was passed
around that Moore had deserted the
girl, and one morning in that month
Mary's dead body was found hanging
to the limb of great oak near the
shanties. Some Of the workmen tore
down the shanties and built houses for
themselves. One day, years afterward
Moore, who had kept away from tho
neighborhood happened to be cunning
in the vicinity, and with two or three
companions, sat down under Mary
Mulhaney's tree to rest. While sitting
under the tree Moore's gun was dis
charged accidentally and Moore was
killed. Last week young man ran
into Coshocton; swearing that he had
seen the spooks of Moore aud Mary,
and since then cannot be induced to
leave the room. Some of the super
stitious miners, who have long regard
ed the tree with dread, are leaving
their homes on account of the story.
Perhaps everything could be cured by
cutting the tree down.

It is generally known to all middle
aged men, "tradition," that breeches
began to give place to trousers during
the first decade of the present centu-
ry,but it is generally known that trou-
sers were actually worn by London
exquisites in the latter years of the
last century. "It will be observed" !"
says q writer in "Arliss' Pocket Mag
azine of Classic and Polite Literature -

in fashion, and were considered as a

his grandmamma's spectacles, which
he converted into an opera-glass. He

Burlesque advertisements, such as the
foregoing, were not common in old

SAVING AGAINST STARVING.

A young man, a bank clerk, applied
to distinguished merchant and asked
him for his influence to get his salary
raised.
The merchant said to him: GLOW
much is your salary now?" Twelve
hundred dollars was the answer.
Not one dollar; with a wife and
two children can only just make both
ends meet.
What don't save anything?
mo, sir; l can but exist.
L make it rule to assist no one
who does not save something every
year. No matter how small his pay,
something should be saved. How
many cigars do you smoke-and their
cost?
'Well, some three day; costing,
together, about twenty cents.
do you go to the theaters, and how
often; and how many persons with
you?
sIgo some half dozen times dur
ing the winter, with my wife and sis
ter, costing, including railroad fare,
say $50.
do you drink ardent spirits, wine,
beer, etc?
& generally take two glasses of
whisky daily and sometimes glass of
ale, with my wife, at the gardens in
the evening.
do you say you can not save any,
thing while your unnecessary yearly
expenses for cigars, drinks and amuse-
ments, by your own showing, can not
cost less than 5000. Until you begin
to save, raising your salary would do
you no good. Begin to-day to save, if
only five cents day. Try saving for
six months and report to me the re-
suit.
At the end of the time the young
man brought the merchant his expense
book, showing a clear saving of $1O4.2O.
This induced the merchant to take him
cordially by the hand, down to the in
stitution, and urge the president to in
crease his salary from ST. 200 to $l 500.
In another six months his savings
amounted to almost $500. The mer-
chant on his showing said to him :
young man, you are now on the road
to wealth and position This young
man is now worth $3O,OO0-all due to
the saving of the first 500.

HOW COFFEE CAME TO BE USED!

HOW COFFEE CAME TO BE USED!
1t is somewhat singular to trace the
manner in which arose the use of the
common beverage of coffee, without
few persons,ln any half OR fully which
civilized country in the world, make
breakfast. AT the time Columbus dis
covered America, it had never been
known or used. 1t grew only in
Arabia and Upper Ethiopia. The dis
covery OF its use as beverage is as,
cribed to the Superior Of monastery
in Arabia, who, desirous of prevent
ing the monks from sleeping at their
nocturnal services, made them drink
the infusion of coffee upon the reports
of shepherds, who observed that their
flocks were more lively after brows-
ing on the fruit of that plant. Its
reputation spread through the ada
cent countries, and in two hundred
years it reach Paris. A single plant
brought there in 17l4, became the par
ent stock of all the French coffee plan
tations in the West Indies. The Dutch
introduced it into Java and the East
Indies. The extent of the consump-
ton now can scarcely be realized. The
United States alone annually consume
it at the cost, at it's landing, of from
$15, ,0OO,O 900 to $16,OOO,OO0.
