Cooperation in New York.
brooklyn Eagle.

A new scheme of interest to house.
Keepers and the heads of families has
just been organized in New York. 1t
bears the remarkable name of 1.-THE Co.
operative Alliance, Limited" Men who
are pushing the project through, got
control of the printed lists of names and
residences of oil the club members in
Now York and club men were rather
startled by the receipt of numerous ap-
peals to join The Cooperative Ali
ance, Limited" This is about the most
battling combination of words that one
can readily imagine, but the object of the
promoters of the scheme is good one.
1t will not be of striking value to bach
elors, but it may catch heads of fam
lies
The obiect-if l may be allowed to
state it without any of the big words
and confusing sentences of prospectus
is to supply food and drink, boots, shoes
and drugs to the members of thesociety
at lower rates than those which prevail
In the shops Only members of ex-
changes and clubs are eligible or per-
mitted to go into the scheme, though
why this is so is past finding out. Such
an association is, l believe, very success
full in London, where it is claimed that
the plan works admirably The advan-
tages to consumers are that all the arti-
Giles are pure and unadulterated and
the prices much lower than the largo
retail shons

Said we'll known manufacturer to
reporter: THE consumption of chocolate
in the United States has had wonder
ful growth. In 1878 we manufactured
into chocolate goods "a, 900 bags of raw
cocoa; last year we used 81, 900 bags, an
increase OF 10000 bags in five years.
The next five years will see still
greater rate of increase. When Hum
boldt discovered the use of tho cocoa
plant in his travels he little dreamed of
the immense business that was to grow
out of the concoction of his first cup of
chocolate. 1t is to-day fairly in the
way of becoming one of the principal
articles of food throughout the world,
and tends eventually to supplant tea
and coffee as beverage.
las fayoring it already stands next
to vanilla, which heads the list, and it
is used in all branches of cookery,
pastry, and cream, and for baking pur-
poses generally. Fifteen years ago
went on the road to sell in q small way
chocolate goods of my own manufacture
and was laughed at for my pains. At
that time the consumption was limited
IN this country to the few large cities in
which the foreign element predomi-
mated. The article was elsewhere com
paratively unknown.
''Ihe taste for chocolate is an &C.
CURED one, and the public had to be
educated to the love for it, and, like to-
bacco and beer, it is first distasteful and
even nauseating, but also like them
when once the taste is formed it is not
easily surfeited. It probably tires the
taste less than any other confection,
and this accounts for its presence ia
nearly all the candy that is sold to-day
Chocolate is one Of the most healthful
foods known, and in its pure state may
be used to an unlimited extent without
hurtful effects.
In Europe it has taken nearly half
century of unremitting labor on the
part of manufacturers to fairly estab-
fish the public taste for chocolate, but
Americans take to it rapidly, and in iif-
teen years have learned to love it and
look upon it almost as a necessity Of
life. The varieties of chocolate prepa-
rations are almost legion, for it enters
into the manufacture of both food and
drink"

Missionary Work in Africa.
chicago Times.1


Stanley, the celebrated explorer of
the " dark continent" was a few
months ago invited by society for
spreading the Gospel in the benlghted
regions of Africa, to give his views in
relation to the qualifications of the men
who should be selected as missionaries.
He stated that they should be persons
of excellent health, of strong constitu-
tons, possessed of large stock of com
mon sense and of considerable knowl-
edge of medicine and surgery. He re-
marked that they would find it much
less difficult to introduce any form of
Christianity than to induce the natives
to abandon their own barbarous Gus
toms and adopt those common to civil
lied communities, and said the changes
from barbarous to civilized life were
made very slowly by any people.
The truth of the statements of the
renowned traveller have been verified by
some recent accounts received from the
countries near the Brass river Some
English misSionar es visited this section
OF Africa q few years ago, and were
very successful in making converts.
Every native prince and most of the
mobiles became converted and Joined the
church. The nobility and gentry being
secured, it was an easy matter to gather
in the common people. In a few months
all the people were good Christians, at
least as good as could reasonably DO
expected in Africa.
All the wealthy men, however, in
sisted on having plurality of wives.
The missionaries concluded that it
would not be best to disturb the old
marriage relations, but they informed
the men that they could not marry
more wives after they had Joined the
church. The result was that every man
of means married from five to twenty
girls just before he presented himself
for admission into the church. The eff
feet of the introduction of Christianity
was to temporarily increase polygamy.
but with view to its final extinction.

Peculiar Optical Illusion.
v PVNNNE NHAtHoHVEh
Exchange.

A contributor to Cosmos says that if
there be cut out of black paper two
similar figures, two crosses for example,
their extremities almost touching, at
about three inches from the eyes before
a sheet of white paper there will be seen
three crosses, the middle one being dark
and completely separate. This phenome-
non is explained by the simultaneous
vision of the two eyes, and it is easy to
show this by looking at the objects sue
cessiyely with one eye. The experiment
becomes still more interesting when,
instead of black figures, we employ COM
Elementary colors-red and green, for
example. In this case we must use a
dark background, and there will appear
a white cross in the middle.

In Microscopic study.
New York Times. !

M Leo Errera considers India ink, on
account of its harmlessneSs and its in
tense celebration, a valuable aid in the
study of certain microscopic organisms.
He has kept infusoria, ETC., alive for
several days in solution of that ink,
the carbonic matter having little or no
effect upon the life of such objects. For
making durable preparations ink di-
luted with water is gradually replaced
by ink diluted with glycerine. Many
organisms which are dstinguishable
with difficulty in clear water are easily
observed in water charged with India
