COOKING fRtir---rhc season Of sum.
mcr fruit is approaching-strawbcrrdcs arc
here, and these will be followed in quick
succession by other sub.acid fruits, and it
may be well to repeat hint we have often
made on tho manner Of using sugar in cook
ing fruit. Every housewife should know that
sugar boiled with an acid, it it be but for
three minutes, will be converted into .lu-
cosc. which is the form of sugar found in
sweet apples. One pound Of sugar has ms
much swcctenin. power as two and half
pounds of glucose In other words, one
pound of sugar stirred into the fruit, after
it is cooked, and while yet warm, will make
the fruit as sweet as two and n half pounds
added while the fruit is boiling. Save your
sugar by n little chemical knowledge.

Rev. John Mathews, ID. ID.

Though he is still a young man, there
is scarcely to be found in all the South
public speaker with reputation so
extended as the eloquent divine whose
name heads this notice. Those who
heard him when he delivered his lee
ture Oh Spiritualism well remember his
rare humor and melting pathos, as well
as his powerful logic. Unsurpassed for
pulpit power, and accustomed to control
at his will the vast congregations that
crowd to hear his mastery sermons, so
too IN the character Of public lecturer,
he is always greeted by large audiences
of enthusiastic listeners. His theme for
the night of March 10th is one calcula-
ted, under his treatment, to glow with
all the wondrous fire that is peculiarly
his own.
''Fires and Fircmen," as handled by
such a man, must be a lecture rich,
racy and of absorbing interest. DR..
Mathewsand his subject are we'll suited,
and the distinguished lecturer could not
have selected a theme better calculated
to meet with favor in this community,
for the noble men who compose the Bat
on Rouge Fire Department constitute
the chief pride of our people.
We confidently predict good house,
on Tuesday night next, at the Metho-
dist Church.

POPULATION OF AFRICA.

Accurate statistics of the population of
Africa, and especially of the interior por-
tons of the continent, are, of course, not
yet obtainable, and it will probably be
many years before several of the populous
districts now known will be sufficiently &C.
cessibe for thorough census /; but much
important information has been gathered
about the distribution Of the inhabitants
and the density of the population in the
different parts of the country. In the re-
gion of the great lakes, for example, there
are countries as thickly settled as many of
the States of Europe relatively small
areas, which, according to Stanley, possess
millions of inhabitants. Behna states that
the negro regions are by far the most pop
ulous, while the desert parts represent the
other extreme. NJ. A. Rabaud, IN paper
published in the Bulletin of the Mar
settles Geographical Society" gives the fol-
lowing as the population of the different
subdivisions of the continent: In the Sou.
dan, the population is estimated at so, 600,
| 600, or about fifty. three per square mile
the town of Bida, on the Niger, contains
$4,000 inhabitants. The population of
East Africa is estimated at 80, 900, 600, and
that Of Equatorial Africa at about 40, 900,
| 900. One of the latest authorities divides
the population as follows among the great
| families into which ethnologists have sepa-
rated the peoples Negroes, 100, 900, 600
Hamites, 10000, 000 Bantus, l3, 00O, 900
| Foolahs, 5000, 600; Nubians, l, 500, 900
Hottentots, $4,000. This would give a
total population of l72, $50, 900. These
figures are, of course, only approximate,
and both German and English geographers
think them too low, the former estimating
the population at 200, 900, 000.-[ Popular
