CocoaDuts as n Diet,

The Fiji Times, in a recent article. calls at
tention to the immense utility of the cocoanut
as an article of food, and tho valuable quail
ties which it has for sustaining nutrition.
The following Instance is given in The case of a
vessel that once left San Francisco with 400
passengers for Sydney. which, in consequence
of running short of stores. had to put in at
Samsa, wHere o large quantity of cocoanuts
were obtained. During the remainder Of the
passage very heavy weather was encountered,
in which the vessel became waterlogged, and
only reached Sydney after g p~erilous journey
of eighty days, during which time all the pro-
visions ran snort, aud men, women aud chill
lren were fed only upon cocoanuts, being at
last reduced to one per diem for each
adult Notwithstanding the diet, not
a life was lost, aud not a single case of sick
ness occurred, the passengers landing in q
healthy and well-uourlshed condition. In an
other instance, two men drlf,ed in a whale boat
ION to Quails Island, where they remained for
seven years before they were taken of, They
had no food beyond a cuance flying fish aud
cocoanuts, aud yet when rescued were in ex-
client condition aud had gained in weight

effect that cheese wasn't appreciated-it was
better than meat-mere sustaining. more nu-
tritious-went further and lasted longer.
Medill would acqulesea cautiously. and tho two

editorial on tho subject Nothing better
for .unch, Sheahan would shout, than bread
aud cheese'-and "a glass OF beer" Medill
would suggest, or "a bottle of wine, from Shea
han, and the two wonid rub their knees and
face each other and laugh in anticipation as
they insisted at tho tops Of their voices that
such a lunch was better aud brainier than a
dinner at the Palmer house. Then as Sheahan
would get on his feet in an absorbed sort Of
way, Medill would say encouragingly, You do
that, Sheahan.' And SO it was day after day,
except when Medill was absent, and then, with
out ANYBODY understanding just how it was
done, Sheahan's hand was found just VII ,re
Medilps hand would have been."

Knife Handles.

An ivory-hafted knife to the ordina-
~ diner-out. says London paper, is
simply piece of table cutlery, useful
at meals, but devoid of all romance.
He wonders not at the ingenuity that
made the steel and fashioned the blade
with its keenly-cutting edge. In his
eyes it is only knife-handle and he
does not allow its antecedents to inter-
fere with his appetite. But through
what an experience this bit of ivory,
so smooth and shining, has passed! 1t
once formed part of an elephants tusk
and was probably dug out of the
desert or found in some dense African
forest, while the jackals or the vultures
were feeding on the animals carcass.
1t was most likely carried hundreds of
miles over a trackless country and
territory peopled by hostile tribes
ready to shed blood for its possession.
Like fame, ivory is frequently V6Iy
difficult to get, ard when, by the exer-
else of strength, endurance, watchful-
ness and cunning, the dusky natives
have brought it to the shore, they
deserve a substantial price for the
precious load that has fatigued their
limbs and made their shoulders ache.
A tusk sold one week at Liverpool
weighed not less than l40 pounds, and
it can scarcely be said that the Afri-
cans yoke is easy and his burden
light when he has to toll along, in
tropical heat, with an elephants tooth
in his grasp.
But the obstacles to be overcome in
getting the ivory to q civilized region
are not entirely responsible for the
present high prices in the English
market. The elephant is defunct in
Egypt, and tusks are only Cbtainable
there by dredging in the sand; but the
leviathan of the woods is by no means
extinct in Africa and India, and would
possibly yield an abundance of ivory If
the demand only grew as slowly as his
teeth.

An Ancient Nation.

At the departure of the children OF
Israel from Egypt, China was seven
hundred years old; and when Isaiah
prophesied of her she had eXisteC
fifteen centuries. She has seen the
rise and decline of all the great nations
of antiquity. Assyria, Babylon,
Persia, Greece and Rome have long
since followed each other to the dust;
but China still remains solitary and
wonderful monument of patriarchal
times. Then look at the population of
the country, roughly estimated at four
hundred millions, ten times hepopula-
ton of the United States, more than
ten times the population of Great
Britain and Ireland. Every third per-
son that lives and breathes upon this
earth is a Chinaman; and every third
grave that is dug is for Chinese.

Southern Houses.

The Atlanta correspondent of the
Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle writes: The
style of architecture has changed ma
terially in the last five or ten years.
Right after the war we had an inunda-
tion of Northern architects, who
planned houses suited to cold Northern
climates and wholly untitled for our
warm atmosphere. They made close
houses, with small rooms, narrow
stairways, without halls, and with only
scraps of veranda and porch. The
little cuddles of rooms and labyrinthine
arrangement of interior were the very
elimination of discomfort for our hot
climate. The philosophy of true
Southern dwelling is roominess and a
chance for a breeze. We need wide
halls, some porches, and large rooms.
The new and improved system of
Atlanta architecture recognizes these
climatic necessities.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

WIEN thing is once begun, it is
almost half finished.
Peoples intentions can only be de-
cided by their conduct.
Happiness is like an echo; it answers
to your call, but does net come.
Cities force growth, and make men
talkative and entertaining, but they
also make them artificial
Friendship is the medicine for all
misfcrtunes, but ingratitude dries up
the fountain of all goodness.
Make no more VOWS to perform this
or that; it shows no great strength,
and makes thee ride behind thyself.
We Judge ourselves by what we feel
capable of doing, while others judge
us by what we have already done.
A great secret Of education is to make
the exercises of the body and those of
the mind serve always as recreation
to each other.
Observation and experience combine
to teach us how small part of the in
cidents which chequer life can he fore
told Therefore it becomes the wise
to enjoy with equanimity or to suffer
with f0rtitude whatever happens.
1t is an argument of candid. in
genius mind to delight in the good
name and commentators of others; to
pass by their defects and take notice
of their virtues; and to speak or hear
willingly of the latter, for in this
indeed you may be little less guilty
than the evil speaker, in taking
pleasure in evil, though you speak 1t
not
Think not you are the only one who
has to endure, and who breads the
hardships of life. Ease and comfort
are the natural desires of the human
heart, and there are thorns, real or inn
aginary, in every ones pathway. But
sitting down and brooding will never
bring power to overcome them-rather
be up and doing, thankful for the
blessings yet remaining.

Queer Catch. Pennies

Many Of the "oddS-and-endists," like
the nut-counter, are ministers of some
slight amusement for the public. One
of these wanderers used to stand in
by-streets and draw sweet music from
a tin coffee-pot. This quaint instru-
ment was pierced with holes, the mu-
sician blew into the spout, and skilful-
ly governed the "vertages" with his
finger. Another, of wild aspect and
gabbling speech, relied upon a much
simpler music. He carried a crazy
German concertina, which he did not
play, and probably could not. What
he did do was to pull it steadily in and
out, and produce q horrid hee-haw,
until he was paid to go away. This
blackmail, for it was little else, he re-
ceived with the stolid complacency of
a deserving man. No bagpipes ever
harrassed a street more effectually.
An entirely different entertainment
was and possibly is still supplied by a
stout man of dignifed presence. He
would walk solemnly into restaurant
or bar, and would stop suddenly
before any knot of three or four peo.
pie he might happen to see. When
they turned their eyes upon him, as
they naturally would do, he proceeded,
with great gravity, to unbutton his
waistcoat. The result of this was the
disclosure of an enormous beard some
two feet in length, the lower part of
which was kept inside the waistcoat
when not required for professional
purposes. He would then, after re-
ceiving any comments with perfect
silence, button up his waistcoat, and
hold out his hat. His whole demeanor
seemed to say, "This truly magnificent
beard speaks for itself; no words Of
mine can add to its beauty, and if you
haven't sense enough to appreciate it,
and to drop copper in the owners
hat, words would be wasted on you -

The Small.Sized JapS.

Doubtless had not the long centuries
of seclusion from the outside world
compelled the Japanese to marry and
intermarry among themselves as they
have, they would show q
much taller race than they now do.
Every species of animal life is dwarfed
from the same cause of interbreeding.
The cattle are small, and the horses
are much smaller than the California
mustang; in fact they can only be
called ponies. There may, perhaps, be
yet another case for the short stature
of the race. Their internecine wars
have destroyed the lives of myriads of
the fighting population. 1t is known
that the wars of Napoleon served to
shorten the stature of the French peo-
pie very materially, and doubtless the
destruction of life caused by war has
effected the same result here. The
japanese are a warlike race, and when
they fight they fight to kill, using the
most effective edged tools ever made
for the trade Of war.
