"Pure MOcha.0

If the official figures of the coffee trade are to be trusted-a and presumably they are not greatly in error-the coffee consuming public of this country has been for long time past very much deluded There are a multitude of peo- pie in this part of the world who are la- boring under the belief that the bever- age which they drink Ut breakfast, and possibly after dinner, is Mocha coffee. Their grocer tells them that the article he sells is "pure Mocha" and they have no means of Knowing that he is deceiv- ing them, if, indeed, he has not been deceived himself. Some, with a. peculiar fastidiousness, insist up- on having a mixture, and want one-half or one-third of Mocha and the remainder of Java coffee-a request wEich the grocer seemingly complies with; that is, he takes the coffee from two separate compartments. Now, the last completed returns of the coffee pro duction of the world are made up to the year 1879. In that year the estimatsJ growth was 1,0S2, ll2, 500 pounds, of which Brazil produced 497, 127, 300 pounds, or nearly one-half Next came the Dutch East Indian possessions, where the crop amounted to 201, ,509, 200 pounds; while Ceylon, South Africa and the West Indies furnished nearly all of the rest. Arabia, it is true, sp- pears on the list, but its total growth, the Mocha district and the rest of the country combined, was only about A. 500.000 pounds. that Is, not quite one- half of per cent. of the growth of the world.
 When it is considered that coffee is extensively used ill Arabia, that Mocha comes within the possessions of Turkey, a country peopled with coffee-drinkers, and that we have 10 direct means of communication with Arabia. one may well hesitate before he accepts the cur rent Mocha fiction of the grocers. It is highly probable that not 10000 pounds of this article are brought into this coun- try in the course of year, sn amount that would not furnish days supp y for the inhabitants of this city. We all, of course, know the flavor of Mocha coffee, and h,-ee cannot be deceived, though in re; " probably not one in a thousand of 'as ever tasted it,-New York Times.

What Egyptians Eat.

The modern Egyptians are, in gen eral, extremely temperate in regard to food. Even the richest among them take little pride, and perhaps experience as little delight, in the Iuxuries If the table. Their dishes mostly consist of pilans, soups and stews, prepared prin- cipally of onions, cucumbeIs, and other cold vegetables, mixed with a little meat, cut into small pieces. On special occasions, however, a whole sheep is placed on the festive board but, during several of the hottest months of the year, the richest restrict themselves en- tnely to vegetable diet. Tine poor are contented with little oil or sour milk, in which they may dip their bread.

His Testimonial.

Patent-medicine advertisements usu- ally display such monotonous devotion to the making of extravagant claims and the relating of miraculous cures, that 1t Is refreshing to find one of en- tirely different character. A catarrh doctor ill a neighboring city closes a circular, which contains not a single testimonial" with the following tan genital flight of rhetoric "When look at that vast field, filled with the pale nations of the dead, and the bend- ing stones covered with moss, shed a tear and say: Ignorance ushered thousands there. They sleep under the solemn pines, the sad hemlocks, the fearful willows and the embracing vines. They sleep beneath the shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or of storm, each in the windowless palace. have one sentiment for catarrhal peo. pie living or dead.

nnt. Door Ar md Exercise.

But the surest of all natural prophy- tactics is active exercise in the open air. Air is a part of our daily food and by far the most important part, A man can live on seven meals week, and survive the warmest summer day with seven draughts of fresh water, but his supply of gaseous nourishment has to be renewed at least IA, 900 times in the twenty-four hours. Every breath we draw is a draught of fresh oxygen, every emission of breath is an evacua- tion of gaseous excIements. The purity of onr blood depends chiefly on the purity of the air we breathe, for in the laboratory of the lungs the atmospheric air is brought into contact at each res piration with the fluids of the venous and arterial systems, which absorb 1t and circulate 1t through the whole body; in other words, If man breathes the vi tiated atmosphere of factory all day and of close bedroom all night, his life-blood Is tainted l4, ,000 times in the course of the twenty-four hours with foul vapors, dust, and noxious exhala- tions. We..need not wonder, then, that ill-ventilated dwellings aggravAte the evils Of so many diseases, ner that pure air shoulddbe almost panaces.
 Out door life is both a remedy and 8 preventive of all known disorders of the respiratory organs; consumption, in all but the last stage of the deliquium, can be conquered by transferring the battle ground from tue sirk-room to the wilderness of the next mountain-range. Asthma, cAtarrh and tubercular phthlsls ars unknown among the nomads of the intertropical deserts, as well as among the homeless hunters of our northwest ern Territories. Hunters and herders, who breathe the pure air of the South American pampas, subsist for years on a diet that would endanger the life of Q city dweller in single month. It has been repeatedly observed that individ- uals who attained to an extreme old age were generally poor peasants whose avo- cations required daily labor in the open air, though their habits differed in al- most every other respect; also, that the average duration of life in various coun- tries of the Old World depends not SC much on climatic peculiarities or theil respective degree of culture as on the chief occupation of the inhabitants.

Babylon and the Tower of Babel.

The magnitude and grandeur of this Oriental capital of twenty-five centuties ago stagger all belief. Any account ol taem, even the most somber, Is like fa " story or tale If Arabian romance. It was fifteen miles square, and was en- urely inclosed by walls 100 feet thick and 800 feet high. The walls were fur ther mounted with 250 towers, seventy tive feet higher than themselves. There were 2,500 miles of streets in the city. In it was built the marvellous hanging gardens. These were kind of artificial garden, lifted into the air upon immense piles of masonry. It was a stupendous work, and was the result of gallantry.
 Klng NebuchadneZZar constructed them that his Queen, who came from a mountainous country, Ecbatana, might have the delight of a mountain garden There were trees here from fifty to seventy-five feet in height and four feet ln diameter. The Tower of Babel was partly temple and partly mausoleum. It was built of sun-dried bricks, and in eight enormous stories, each of differ ent color. The land of Shinar, betweeu Il the Tiglis and the Euphrates, is rich alluviaI plain, devoid of stone, yet nature has compensated its inhabitants by mak- ing the soil a peculiar mixture of clay and sand, which, mixed with water and baked in the sun, produced brick more durable than anything we are acquainted with. Then the bitumen, which flows out of the ground, forms cement so solld that the brick are held together as one immense mass. Hence the marvel ous durability and preservation of these ancient ruins.
 The summit of the tower was crowned with shrine, and within it & mighty image of Belus, tue Chaldean love, fol ty feet high and of solid gold, was placed. The terrible denunolatIons of the wicked, effeminate and cruel city which are con tained in the Hebrew prophets have been strikingly and literally verified. Its palaces have become dwelling place for owls, and so the voice of history speaks with loud and startling empha sis to our generation, assuring us that tine wrath of God rests upon the work ers of iniquity, and that 1t will sooner ol later surely overtake them. -Prot. | CRickeTilQ.

The Origin of the Name "Artemus
 Ward v

There has been not little specula- tion as to how Brown came by hIs nom de plume, \" "Artemus Ward" Dr. Shattuck says that, having some conf dential business with him during one of his last visits to Waterford, he took the occasion to inquire in particular about While engaged at the Pldindealer of fee, in Cleveland, Ohio, he made the acquaintance of an eccentric old gentle man whose actual name was Artemus Ward, though assuming some more pre- tentious titles. This man was in the show business, having few "wax fig gers," birds, "snaix" and kangaroo. While waiting on the printers for his bills he amused Brown by telling an endless number of anecdotes, all of which were duly treasured up. Among these We're some of the incidents in Browns article entitled Edwin Forrest as Othello." He referred to the follow ing as one of the contributions of the original Artemus Ward
 Ed was actin at Niblo's Garding, but let that pars. l sot down 1n the pit, took out my spectacles and con- menced peroosin the evenin's bill. As I was peroosin' the bill grave young man who sot near me axed me if I'd ever seen Forrest dance the essence of Old Virginny.
 "' He's immense in that sed the young man. He also does fair cham pion jig, the young man continnered, but his big thing Is the essence of Old Virginny.'
 "Sez I:
 "' Fair youth, do you know what I d do with you if you was my sun.'
 No sez he.
 "'Wall,' sez I. 'rd appint your flu neral tomorrow srternuon, and tn, korps should be ready You're toe smart to live on this yearth.
 The old man claimed himself to be tht hero of this story. Brown, however wanted the credit of correcting til, spelling and of dressing the storles u Ill good literary style. Pleased with tht nan e, he attac ed it to several of hi. comic productions, and, finding that il took with the public, adopted GA Ward' as his own.-Scri6ner.

As means of saving the mails from going to the bottom with sinking ship,
 1t has been suggested that they should be inciosed, not III the usual canvas bags, but in water light metal cases rendered foatable on the sea by an air-chamber in the lid. If the boxes proved too ex- pensive for general use, they might, at least, be employed for registered letters. Moreover, beside their function as mail cases, they could also be made available in the construction of hfe-rafts for the rescue of passengers from the doomed
