The Plateau Of Central Asia.

On Friday week, Sir r. Temple read a
most striking paper before the British
Association on the cradle of the Tartar
world, the gigantic Asiatic plateau, usual
ly 1000 feet high, which stretches from
the Himalaya to the Altai and the noun
tain border of China, covers more than
two millions of square miles-two Indias-
and is walled out from civilization by
mountains 10000 feet high. Though part.
ly desert-as in that strange dried sea,
the Desert of Gobi-much more is still
fertile, while there is reason to believe it
contains some of the richest mineral dis
tricts in the world. No territory is so
little known to Europeans, yet probably
from hence came many of the tribes whose
pressure drove "the Barbarians" upon
Rome; while in the Twelfth century it's
clans so increased in numbers and in a
kind of civilisation, that in the thirteenth
century Jenghiz Khan and his successors
ruled armies of 500, 900 cavalry, threaten
ed the whole world, and conquered it
from the Yellow Sea to the Baltic. A
Tartar reigns in China, and the last
Emperor of Delhi was a descendant of
Jenghiz. We wish Sir r. Temple would
tell us why these tribes cannot again grow
strong, and, as Mr.. Thoby Prinsep grave.
~ predicted, invade India in a strength
to which that of Russia would be

Literary Work and Tobacco.

In response to ii circular recently
sent out by Mr.. Arthur Reade, who
has been collecting information as to
the habits of literary men in regard
to stimulants, the Able Moigno
gives IN interesting and characteris-
tic record OF his experiences. The
letter appearing in his paper, Les
MOndeS, states that he has published
$50 volumes, small and great; that
he scarcely ever leaves his work
table, and never takes walking exor-
else yet he never has a trace OF
headache, or BRAIN = WEAKNESS, or
constipation, or any form of urinary
trouble, &c. He never has recourse
for his work to stimuIants, coffee,
alcohol, tobacco, &c, a statement
which the sequel shows to need quail
fication. Sn~uff-taking he has some
times practiSed, but he vigorously
condemns it. He has learnt II
foreign languages by a method of his
own, and with regard to his acquire
ments in philology and chronology,
he says, 81 was one Of the most ex-
traordinary personalities of my time,
and Francois Argo sometimes laugh
ingly threatened to have me burnt
as a s%orcerer." On one occasion
when in Miinich for a few weeks and
spending his evenings with Bavarian
sa00mts, who each smoked four or
five cigars and drank two or three
pots of beer daily (SteinheiI, the most
illustrious, boasted Of smoking
5000 cigars a year,, the Able came
to smoke three or four cigars a day.
He had also anew taken to snuff, SO
that, when preparing his calculus of
variations, a very difficult mathema-
teal work, he would empty his snuff
box (Which held 25 grammes) in a
day. But one day he was surprised
to find himself painfully unable to
recall the meaning of foreign words,
and remember dates with which he
had been familiar. Thereupon he
formed a heroic resolution, and since
August 81, 1868. when he smoked
, 1882-10-07

three cigars and took % centImes
worth of snuff, he has, up to the 25th
of June, 1882, touched neither. This
was, for him, a complete resurrec-
ton, not only of memory, but of gen
eral health and well being he has
had indefinite capacity of work, un-
conscious digestion, perfect assimi-
lation of TODD (of which he a take
more) &c. For the rest, he men
tons that he takes q small cup OF
black coffee in the morning, and
when aIlbuttwo or three spoontuls has
been drunk, he adds a small spoon
full ofbrandy or other alcoholic liquor.
This is his ration Of stlmulants, He
goes to bed about 8, and rises at 5,
full of vigour." The Abb6 10

THE NLoMETER.-lt may be of
some interest to recall the fact that
the Nilometer, for keeping accurate
register of the annual i%nundation of
the Nile, is situated in the island OF
Roda, opposite Old Cairo, and con
sists of a square chamber, in the
centre of which is a graduated pillar,
divided into II cubits, each about
2l3in. in length. Owing to the ele-
vation of the bed of the Nile, the reIa-
tive proportion of the rise of water
has been altered, and it now passes
about 1 % cubits above the highest
portion Of the column. Cricrs go

A Warning TO Doctors.

The Chinese authorities of Shanghai
recently issued quaint decree respect
ing the neglect of physicians to attend
at once on their patients, and the high
fees which they charge. They give
notice that it is the duty of all physicians
to use their knowledge for the benefit of
the people; when people are sick they
must be ready to attend upon them when
ever they are sent for, without regard
ing the hour of the night or day, or the
state of the weather. When people are
i'll they long for the presence Of the doc
tor as the grain of seed longs for the
rains. Instead of doing this, however,
the physicians now think that they pos
sess great skill, and not only charge
high fees, but insist on being paid full
hire for their chair coolies, and they do
not care what becomes of the patient so
that they get their fees. If these were
only charged to the wealthy it would
not be so much matter; but the poor
have to pay them also. An evil practice
(the decree goes on) also exists by which
doctors will not visit their patients be-
fore l o'clock in the afternoon. Some
will even smoke opium and drink tea
until late in the evening. These are
abuses, the magistrates say, which they
will on no account permit. Doctors
must attend to their patients at all times.
They must, if necessary, visit them sever
al times daily; they must think more of
them and less of their fees. Notice,
therefore, is given to all physicians and
people that q physician who does not
attend when he is called must only re-
ceive half his fees and half his chair hire.
IF you physicians delay your visits you
show your wickedness, and sin against
yourselves" The decree is a model one
for paternal government; argument,
entreaty, objurgatim, exposition, threats,
are all mingled in due proportions

Indians in Florida.

There are still Indians in Florida. The
tribe that had fought the Spaniards
for two hundred years before our own
troops tackled them was not entirely
crushed by the Jackson campaign; about
two hundred warriors with a few squaws
and children took refuge in the western
Everglades, and after several years of
negotiations and Congressional debates
the Hon. Jefferson Merrill informed the
government that they seemed inclined to
keep the peace and might be permitted
to remain, The truth is that it would
not have been quite easy to remove them.
They have little village on the western
shore of Lake Okeechobee and some
times visit the Charlotte Harbor settle
ment, being about as social as the half
wild deer that are petted by the guests
of the St. Augustine hotels; but, like
those deer, they are rather fond of wood
land rambles, and in case of need would
soon retire to regions where no hunter
could follow them.

A Cheap Apple Orchard.

~ OAV0p 0pfA0 VAVA1AOs
In many places in the west wild crab
apple trees abound. They often grow
along the sides of streams and ravines,
and are sometimes found on the sides Of
forests. Some of them are OF large size
and produce considerable fruit. It is of
little value, however, for either human
q or cattle food. Experiments made in
grating these trees with scions from
other kinds Of apple trees have not been
very successful. In some cases good
union can not be formed between the
scion and the limb, and in other cases
the graft becomes of too large size to
be supported by the limbs. When this
is the case the branch breaks off when
there is violent wind or when it con-
tains q considerable amount of fruit.
Experiments made with gratis of the
Bethlemite apple have been very sue
cessful in this vicinity. A strong union
is made, and though the grated portion
outgrows the parent stalk, there is no
danger Of its breaking off by the force Of
the wind or by the weight of fruit.
When trees are grated there should be
considerable open space about them, or
the branches will be small and produce
little fruit. Each tree should have nearly
as much room as it would be allowed If
growing in an orchard: It is hard to
graft crop-apple trees, but if scions Of
Bethlemite apples are inserted they will
pay well for the trouble. They will
grow quickly and come into bearing
early. The fruit is medium size, fiat.
smooth, aromatic in flavor, and sub
acid. 1t is good in its season for the ia
BILE or for cooking. The apples can be
kept till spring and are in their prime
from December to February. AS they
are unfit to eat in the fall there is little
danger of their being stolen if raised
ut distance from the house.

THE Girl from Next Dure."

Timblethorpe came home late the 9th
er night, and went into the dining-room
for the purpose of getting something to
eat before retiring. The sound of voices
engaged in earnest conversation came
up from below through the dumb-waiter
opening, and presently he was sure he
heard the gruff tones of manly voice.
Timblethorpe knew that his wife was OBJ
posed to masculine followers, of all
kinds, as far as the servants were con-
cerned, and so he called down the kitch-
en- stairs, Johanna, who have you down
there with your Presently voice re-
Piled, ''Plaze sor, it's the girl from the
next dure." Timblethorpe did not an
swer at once, but when the odor from =
very strong pipe, evidently of the T. D.
variety, met his nOstrils he made q feint
of going down stairs, remarking at the
same time, Hasn't Mrs. Smiths girl
got very bad cold?' He received no
response to this, but the back door was
suddenly closed, aud tic noise of a thick
pair Of soles on the sidewalk beneath in
hurried retreat told story that would
have thrown Mrs. TimD cti.orpe into

We have no time to read long stories,

The LongfelloH Eln,s.

In the celebration of Longfellow's
birthday at Gorham, one of the speakers
gave the origin Of the beautiful row Of
elm trees now standing on the old Long
fellow homestead. It appears that
Stephen Longfellow, the poets father,
offered his hired man two shillings for
each elm tree he would plant and make
live by the roadside of his farm. In ac-
knowledging an invitation to q like cell
ebration twenty-five years ago, Mr..
Longfellow said: cit will add one more
to my pleasant recollections of Gorham,
the beautiful village, the elms, the
farms, the pastures scented with penny
royal, and the days of my boyhood that
have perfume sweeter than field OF
fower.'

A Beautiful Thought.
Ashes, after being thrown out, may
be covered over with snow, so that they
are completely hidden from view, and
the spot looks as pure and beautiful as
if they were not there; but in the Spring,
when the crystal covering is gone, the
ashes appear again, and are not pleas
ant to look upon. IT'S the same way
with mans character. He may cover
it for time, carefully keeping all his
sins from view, under the shield of fine
clothing, money and good family con-
nections, but when he comes in contact
with the world everything is seen in its
true light at the proper time. There is
nothing particularly new or beautiful
about this idea, but the thought sug-
gested itself yesterday morning when
the head of the family instructed US to
empty some of the ashes aforesaid. It
was mighty cold morning, and we
didn't feel like walking in the snow, SO
to save time-which is money dump
ed the cinders in the snow only few
feet from the door. We supposed they
were well covered, but it was subse-
quently developed that they were not,
and it was while shoveling them up that
the beautiful thought came to us.-Oil

The Latest aarniture on Pet Dog

Now one OF the freaks in which ladies
take much delight may be found in the
fashion patronized by many New York
ers, namely, their devotion to all man
'ner of dogs. There is no end to the de-
vices to which they resort in order to
beautify their pets. Sometimes these
animals are attached to chains or COLI
ored ribbons and are allowed to run af-
ter their mistresses; again, the darlings
are considered too delicate to walk, and
are tenderly carried in state. Some for
5tunate pets are adorned with beautiful
blankets to protect them from the colder
winds, while others delight in large bows
Of colored ribbon tied at one side Of tho
neck.
