Planetary Life.

Jupiter ard Saturn, which are much
larger than the earth, present all the
characteristics of planetary youth. They
are manifesIly in the stage of prepara-
ton. Mars, which is much less tLan
the earth, presents the characteristics
of Old age, while the moon, which IS
much less even than Mars appears 10 be,
to all intents and purposes dead
world.
Yet, even IN thus rejecting many Orbs
from the category life supporting
worlds, we find our belief strengthened
that the great end of natures work.
ings, or rather chief recognizable end,
is the support of life. For Jupiter and
Saturn, like the sun, are the centres of
systems of worlds. Small though their
satellites may seem, even IN the power
ful telescopes, they are really enormous
globes. The least of the moons of
Jupiter has surface four times as
great as that of the United States. If
the sun nOurishes life on the earth and
Venus, Mars, and Mercury, why may
not the present work of Jupiter and
Saturn be to help IN nOurishing life on
the worlds which circle round them?
And even if the recognition of the
present unitness Of Jupiter and Saturn
TO support life, ana of the long past
death of the moon, seem at first to mar
row our ideas of life in other worlds, it
VIII be found when rightly understood,
To widen them. When all planets in
our own systems attending on other
suns were supposed to support life at
one and the same time, we could not
but recognize an infnity of life-lessness
before life began on these worlds, an
infinity Of death when life should come
to an end on them. But now we find
all time as well as all space occupied by
life. Before the worlds now the abode
of life were inhabited, millions of Orbs
existed, which now, like the moon, are
all dead, but were then during millions
Of years crowded with living creatures,
and fOr'uncOunted myriads of years IN
the future, worlds which are as yet in
their fiery youth Will become In their
turn the scenes of busy life. "End
can we see none to the universe Of God;
50, also, We see no beginning"

Life IN Nubf1-

The banks Of the Nubian Nile vary
with every mile, and beautiful are they
in diversity Of color and combination,
though that beauty paTtakes OF ster-
ner quality than in the landscapes OF
Egypt. Nowhere can be seen the rich
fields which stretched ON either shore to
the feet of the Lybian Hills. They
have disappeared, and in their stead
rise from the waters depth tall cliffs IN
broken precipice and crag, or the Tlyer,
owning freer bounds, flows majeStica.ly
on beneath rival streams or bordering
sands, that have the gOTges of the des-
ert hills for channels and the wind for
current.
Poverty is written on the face of this
sun scorched country, and such few
strips of fertile land as the Nile reaches
IN its food are titled with jealous care
by the scanty population which they
support. 1t Is curious to note with
what religious care the villages and
temples have been placed upon the
shelving rock OF desert sand, where
none but the lizards could begrudge
their presence. Every inch of land that
can be cultivated is cOaxed to yield It's
burden of beans or doura, and of spare
land whereon to place their villages.
good sooth, there is enough. Poor
though the Nubian is, bis wants are
few, and his thrifty ways make poverty
light burden to him. Travel where
he will far hire or trade, he leaves his
heart in his wild home of Nubia, and
returns hither when fortune allows.

oId-Fashioned schools.

The children of TO-DAY do not know
half their happiness. Kind treatment
and gentle methods of instruction are
SO much matter of course, that the
davs when teachers were regarded rs
| tyrants seem too remote to concern
them at all. Yet 1t is but one genera
ton since hundreds of unhappy scholars
were unable to separate the thought of
| schOOimaSteI from the twin idea of
| fiagellatlOn.
The autobiography of the late DR..
Marion Sims recalls those times with
| singular vividness. AS little boy he
was cruelty builied and abused by his
teachers and his parents befare him had
received the same sort of treatment.
He gives an amusing account of an ac-
cident which led to the escape of his
mother. Mahala Mackey, from the
power Of one such tyrant when she was
little girl.
The school which she attended was
held in log cabin, situated in the
midst of large tract of the pine woods
of South Carolina 1t was built of IN
peeled logs, whose rough bark and
numerous crevlces afforded welcome
shelter to many insects and other small
creatures. One day, as little Mahala
was sitting with her back TO the teacher,
upon the long bench of pine planks that
extended across the room, "a green lizard
darted from the wall and ran close be-
side her Too much startled to think
what she was doing, she seized the in
truder by the tipOf its tail and flung it
over her shoulder with a shrek of ter
Tor. Then, turning around to apologize
for the noise she had made, she was
overcome with dismay to see the teacher
dancing about the platform, shouting
with pain, and vainly attempting 10
knock away the lizard from the end of
his nose, whence it dangled, with its
teeth locked firmly in his nostrill
She stayed TO see no more, but shot
out OF the door bare-headed, and never
slackened her speed until safe within
the walls of her home. A wise precau-
tion, as it proved. The master was
never able to forgive her the undigniied
plight to which she had innCcently
brought him; but as her father would
not send her back TO be punished for an
accident, she was removed from school,
and her instructor was forced to let his
swollen nose go unavenged.

The soudarese not Arno..

1t is common in alluding to the armies
/ of the mahdi TO speak of them as Arabs.
/ This is the custom not only in tins
country, but even in England, whose
| troops being on the ground, and whose
communicat ion with the Soudon being
| constant, should afford them accurate
/ knowledge OF the country and its lnnab-
/ itants. An Arab is an inhabitant OF
/ Arabia. and not native of the SOudan
or any other foreign country Nor
/ does the word Arab have any broad,
generic significance which, like the
word MOhammedan, Will permit its ex-
| tension to people of various natiy1ues
and religions. There are probab y many
Arabs in the army of the Mahdi. as
/ there are some In all parts of the world
and more especially IN man, OF the ci-
ties of Africa lying on the Mediterran-
can sea. Throughout Egypt in its ent ire
| ty, and including the SOudan. OF Upper
Egypt, there are many Arabs HhO are
influential; but they 90 not constitute
the DulF of the population. any more
than does the influx of TeutOnS into the
United States entitle the aggregate
people to be designed as Germans
Ahmed himself, the mahdi, Is a Nubian
by birth, and is pure Ethiopian. as are
most of the inhabitants of that region.
DOngOla, the place of his birth, was SCI
tied by some fugitive Mamelukes, who
escaped the seimeter OF Menemet Ali,
in 1911, but even if lie came from this
class he would not be an Arab, as the
Mamelukes were originally Mongolians,
CIrcasslans, OK GeOrgianS, AMI never
Arabs.
The great majority Of the residents OF
the SOudan are negroes and these COM
pose the larger portion of the armies Of
the Mahdi kOrdOfan has some Arabs
among its natives, but the principal
residents as to numbers are negroes,
Sennaar, the province in which knar-
tOum is situated, has more Arabs IN it
than all the rest Of the SOudan, but the
bulk of the population is composed of
negroes. The Nubians were originally
pure Africans, but by adnixture with
lighter races have become mulattOes.
In addition to these, there are many
wandering tribes in the desert that are
sometimes pure Africans. unmixed de-
scendants of Ham, and in other instan-
Cos are composite of all the various
peoples who have OyeTrun what is nov
known as Upper Egypt, There IS only
unity on one point, and that IS in reli-
giOn. All are followers Of Islam, and
all of them are fan..tical to the very last
degree. Ii is from all these diversified
peoples, OF tribes, that the mahdi Sc
cures his fighting material. There are
Arabs among them, as there were Ger
mans and Irish in the National forces
during our war against the seeding
states; but in neither case has the for
eign element sufficient dimensions 10
give it supremacy in the charac,eriZa-
ton, or name, of the respective forces. /

The Coffee Free.

Now that beautiful leaved plants are
SO Justly popular, and in such constant
demand for drawing-room decoration,
it is surprising that the coffee tree of
cOmmere Is not made use. We see it
now and then in nurseymen's green
houses, but seldom anywhere else, and
yet there are few evergreen shrubs more
ornamental, and very few that are bet
ter adapted for the adOrnment of the
sitting-rOom. An average temperature
of 30 degrees In summer, and 90 degrees
in winter, will be found quite sufficient.
and If the plant is put in warm corner
in the room over the kitchen fire on
frosty nights no harm will come to it.
The best soil for planting is mixture
of peat and loan. The drainage must
be thorough, the supply of water abund-
ant, and the roots must have plenty of
room. The coffee tree in a young state
is well worth growing for the sake of its
bright green, glossy leaves, fragrant
jessamine-like white blossoms and ber-
ries changing from green to red. 1t is
said that Megalledin, learned Mufti Of
Alden, became acquainted with It during
one of his African journeys. He took
back some berries with him to Yemen
and recommended the beverage to his
friends as an excellent method of keep
ing awake at prayers. Its use gradually
spread to the Nile, Syria, Asia Minor
and Turkey. Coffee was FIRST sold in
COnstantinOple in 1854. 1t was intro.
duced into Europe by the Dutch IN
1910, but did not reach this country till
1910. Arab coffee is chiefly grown in
Yemen, where it was first planted in
the neighbOrhoOd of Alden and Mocha.
The plantations are usually made half
way up the hills. The berries are not
gathered, but cloths are spread under
the trees for the fruit to fall on when
ripe. The coffee is mostly consumed in
the country, the home demand being so
great. There Is not much exported,
and that not the best. a good deal of
what goes in the trade by the name of
Mocha coffee comes from the Brazil and
the West Indies.
