A Good Stop.

her team along Congress street, the horse
became frightened while passing City Hall,

from the sidewalk, as coolly as need be, and
sprang directly into the sleigh, then took the
reins from the lady's hands and soon brought
the horse to a standstill.

heaviest clothing, wrapping ourselves up very
warm but it was colds. coughs and catarrh all
the time. Finally we commenced wearing ALI
cocks Porous Plasters as chest protectors. The

as all coughs and colds. We each wore two Plas-

AFRICA.

The triangular tract of country called
Africa, with an area of over 100000
square miles, is pre-eminently country
of deserts, the chief of which is the great
Desert of Sahara, in the north. This
gives rise to terribly hot winds, which
sweep over the Mediterranean Sea and
Southern Europe, and make their way
with whitening Influence into West
Africa, and as far south as the Cape. In
South Africa is the Desert Of Kalahari,
which is, however. not entirely destitute
Of vegetation, and is happily without
harm to the surrounding countries. In
the north, west and south are mountain
ranges and many rivers, along which the
country is green and beautiful. The
vegetation is Of all zones; also the animal
life. The mineral wealth Is very great
gold and diamonds, iron and copper, coal
and salt being found. The population
is probably about 2OO,O0o,OOO, those north
of the great desert being Caucasians,
like ourselves; those south of this are all
Philippians, or negroes. The western coast
is best known to us, and from this we de-
rive our notions of African life and re-
ligiop, and here are the missionary sta
tions.-JOurndl and Messenger

MORAVIAN CUSTOMS.

The Moravians have settlements not
only in Germany, but also in England,
Switzerland and America. They hold
all the doctrines of Luther. Their larg-
est settlement, called Herrnhut, is in Sax
ony, and the Moravians in many parts of
Germany bear the name of Herrnhuter
In each community there are two
houses set apart-ope for the married
men called the Brothers house." and
the other for all unmarried sisters or
widows who wish to enter them.
The Moravians cannot marry without
the consent of the elders of their church
and in some cases the bridegroom has
been chosen by the bride. They seldom
marry outside the community, and their
engagements are nearly as solemn as the
marriage. The weddings are very SIM
pie, the sister wearing but black dress
With a white lace handkerchief, and her
pretty cap with its pale pink ribbon,
which is changed afterward for blue
when the ceremony is finished. There
are always two rings at wedding in
Germany, as there a married man al
ways wears one, which he receiv es from
his bride in exchange for his.
The Moravians wear no Grape nor
mourning for their dead, and they speak
of them as "blessed," and of dead as ego
ing home" They call the graveyard
Goods acre." and they take the greatest
care of their graves. But there is also
the division, as in the church, for the
men are buried on one side of the ceme-
terry and tine women on the other.
The Moravians are we'll educated, and
the poorer brethren amongst them enjoy
the same privileges in their excellent
schools as do the richer brethren. Life
amongst the Omitted Brethren" is simple
and unartifcial, love to God and man be-
ing their first principle; and many who
have lived amongst them bear in mind
loving memory of their goodness, and of
the pretty little village of Neudietendorf.

EARLY COACH BUILDING.

Glass coaches, or coaches with glass
panels instead OF curtains at the sides,
do not seem to have been introduced into
England till the middle of the seven
teenth century. Plate glass for the pur-
pose was of Venetian origin. The man
ufaeture was established at Fulham by
the Duke of Buckingham, and it was
used for carriage panels during the reign
of the Stuart sovereigns. The coach Of
the Speaker Gv.) is said to have been
made for, or used by, Oliver Cromwell. 1t
is of carved oak, similar in general out
line to the state coaches OF more recent
times, but more upright on the angles
and more compact in appearance. The
body is hung by stout leather straps to
iron standards which rest on groups OF

MOUNT POPCCATAPETL.

The chief interest that attaches to the
smoking mountain" Popocatapetl, is
not simply that it is the largest of the
six great Mexican craters, nor that it is
1880 feet high-1,800 feet higher than
Mont Blanc-but because it is, as high
mountains go, reasonably easy of ascent,
and will repay ascending with an exceed
ingly interesting experience. To the
height of about $1,000 feet it is covered
with dense forest, and about hundred
feet further is the mean lower limit of
perpetual snow. High up toward the
snow-line is a settlement Of Indian
guides and purifiers of sulphur that is
brought down from the crater. The
journey through the snow is made with
out danger by the help OF these guides.
With eyes protected against snow blind
ness, almost certainly through a storm,
with the odor of sulphur becoming
stronger as the edge of the crater is ap-
preached, the traveller makes the begin
ming of his interesting experience. When
the abrupt edge Of the snow mantle is
reached at the volcsno's mouth, he dis
covers that the snow he has waded
through is from three to five feet deep.
The descent into the crater can be be-
gun on foot, for its sides do not become
perpendicular until long succession of
vertical lay ers of lava have been crossed,
each one lower than the last. These
passed, the descent must be continued
by capstan. The distance to the bot
tom on the side of the least depth is yet
$50 feet There is a place where its
depth is not less than 1000 feet; and at
it's mouth it is three miles in circumfer-
ence. The chief danger to which one is
exposed is Of being struck by falling
stones, which are released at the mouth
of the crater by the action of the frost.
Not less than ten stones an hour fall.
The filling up of the crater by all sorts of
falling matter is estimated to continue at
the rate of three-quarters of foot year.
The bottom is covered with snow, except
in the vicinity of the "chimneys from
which continually issue volumes of sui
phurous vapor. In escaping it makes
a noise like the roaring of the wind.
The largest of these chimneys is thirty
feet in diameter, though it is nearly filed
with stones, between which the vapor
now has to effect its escape. These
stones are encrusted with sulphur, by
which many of them have been SO de-
composed that parts of them may be
crushed between the fingers.
When cloud rests over the mouth Of
the crater the optical effect produced by
the cloud and the vapor is worth making
the ascent of the mountain and the de-
scent of the crater to see. Every light
object is tinged with red; snow seems
pink, linen becomes rose colored, and
gold takes the color of copper. The
gathering of sulphur from the sand and
stones near the chimneys of the crater is
employment for a number Of Indians.
who often remain in tits sulphurous
depth weeks and months at time, and
may almost be said to make their homes
there. The sulphuric acid does not
make life pleasant, for even the icicles
have a sour taste.
