The CingaIeSe.

All the people of Ceylon, from babes
just ''feeling their feet" to old women,
their steps tottering on the brink of the
grave, wear gold and silver ornaments.
They even invent new places of carry
ing them, and it is no uncommon thing
to see a Cingalese belle with the top of
her ears covered with gold plate or
wire, a large pair of rings pendant
from the lobes of her ear, a gold or sill
yer circlet round her hair, her nose
adorned with rings, bracelets on her
wrists, rings on her fingers, and silver
plates on her toes. This is the perfec-
ton of adornment; but in one or other
of the fashions, or in several of them,
the Cingalese woman, of whatever sta
ton in life, is set forth. / saw running
out of a house a sturdy little boy 2
years Of age who had nothing on but a
silver key fastened round his waist by q
girdle of silver wire The men take
their pleasure less extensively. They
delight in gold earrings and rings, but
beyond this are content to intrust the
Recommendations of their personal ap-
pearance to q tine tOrtOise-shell comb of
circular shape, set on the crown of
their heads, with the end toward the
forehead. The men evidently pride
themselves on their hair, which is gen
orally drawn back from their forehead
and tied in a neat knot sat the back.
AS they wear earrings. and not always
whiskers or mustache, it is not easy at
first sight to distinguish man or woman.
Good Words.

The Kinds of Oil.

For moment let us glance at the
principal sources of animal and vege-
table oil supply, ere the fountains of
mineral oil were revealed for the use
and comfort of the human family.
First and formost, of acourse ranked
the tish-oils-the well-known train Cor
drdl71) oil which drained from the
blubber of the great Greenland whale
a large whale sometimes yielding full
ly thirty tons of blubber-each ton rep
resenting nearly two hundred gallons
of oily. Though the cachelot, or sperm
whale, could never rival the Greenland
whale in the quantity of its contribu-
ton, it had at least the advantage of
quality and variety, since, besides or
binary blubber, it yields large amount
OF sperm-oil, and also of spermaceti.
Of the latter valuable product, the head
alone often yields ten barrels.
Next among oil-yielding fish come
the grampus, or dolphin, the porpoise,
the shark, the seal, the cod, the her.
ring, and others.
Of animal fats are butter, tallow,
lard, goose-grease, neat s-foot oil (pre-
pared from the feet of oxen, and used
by curriers' in dressing leather), and
mare s-grease Imported from Buenos
Ayres and Montevideo, where a multi
tude of horses are annually slaughtered
for the sake of their hides, tallow, and
bonesD. In Russia, especially at Mos
COW, yolk-of-egg oil is in great repute
for making soap and pomatum.
Vegetable oils form very important
item in our supplies, inasmuch as oil
seeds to the value of 95,500,000 are an
nually imported into Britain for crush
ing purposes, and our exports of oil are
roughly valued at 91,600,000. The ex-
port of seed-on from London, Hull, and
Liverpool, in 1880, was 14,5O8,OO0 gal
Ions.
Under the head of seed oils rank lin
seed, cotton-seed, and castOr-on. Col
za-oil, also, is made from mustard,
hemp, radish, rape, turnip, and other
seeds. Then we have olive-oil and al
mond-oil. From India comes poppy
seed oil; from the Black Sea, oil of
sunfower-seeds. From Ceylon and the
Pacific isles comes cocoanut-Ol. From
Western Africa the palm-nut of the
oil-palm, and OF of ground-nuts, for
use in fine machinery. From Singa-
pore and China we receive kokUm oil
and vegetable tallow. About fourteen
thousand tons of crotOn-on are annual
ly imported for the use of tho wool
dressers of Britain.
Besides these, so familior to our
selves, almost every country has some
speciality in oils. Thus, in Southern
Russia, tobacco oil is largely used; in
Italy, oil of grape-stones; in China, oil
of tea-seed; in India, oil of nutmegs,
of seeds of the gamboge-tree, of Gus
tard-apple seed, of cashew-nut, of car
damon, of neam, of margoza, and many
others. Brazil, too, has q large num-
Der of oils, both animal and vegetable,
peculiar to itself -.'IHe oil Supply of.

Tree-Planting on Steep Slopes.

By working with a sufficiently large
force to cover an entire basin with the
various preliminary works, and then
ia plant, promptly and simultaneously,
the plantations were not washed away;
on the contrary, to use the vivid words
of CeZanne, E'TheSe works, so ingeni-
Gus in their very simplicity, form a net
work of horizontal lines. like the alleys
of a garden. The green edgings anGl
Innings develop themselves among the
innumerable sinuosities of the c0n1beS
valleys embracing from the rocky
beds of the torrents to the very summit
of the mountain crests, those ravines
which but lately were inaccessible, and
presented an aspect full of hOrrsr. On
seeing what has been done, one imme-
diately understands how such combi-
uation would be effectual. Every liquid
moIecule, so to speak, is sliced individ-
ually, the thin sheet of water flowing
down is retarded in its course by
thousand thirsty little plants, by the
lines of cultivated heritage, and by the
hedges of shoots and trees. 1t is COM
PEELED to tarry a little on each terrace
to Stake the thirst of the ground, and
when it reaches the lower end of a FUR
row it there spreads itself out on the
fiattened bed prepared for it. Stopped
at every barrier it loses its vital force
on every hand, and finally, from rast-
ing-place to resting place, and from tae-
scent to descent, it arrives, after
thousand retardations, and still limpid
in the channel which carries it to the
river. The violence Of torrents is oc-
casioned by the combination of an in
fnitude of elements infinitely minute;
and the system of extinction consists in
extinguishing each of these elements
without disregarding one; it is an accr-
mutation of infinitesimal Titles. The
secondary ravines are blocked mp, their
minute ramifcations are intercepted,
the lesser fanks are filled up, and final
" there are spread over the soils, COM
pletely to difuse them, the innumera-
bic threadlets [of water], divided and
subdivided like the fibers of a root -
