The Future of Africa.

Africa has been long known as the
Dark Continent. At the present rate
of research it is soon to be properly
known as the Light Continent. 1t i
already as well known as South Amer
lea; and there is no small section OF
North America still UNEMPLOYED. Africa
is not only being well traversed by ex
plorers, but the progress of Arabic in
vasion from the East, although &C,
companied by some evils, is neverthe-
less laying open the land to commerce
and q certain degree OF civilization.
Add to this the impulse given by the
enterprise of Emin Bey and the fate OF
Stanley to send out European armies
with the purpose of opening the land
to travel and trade. and the probabili-
ties are that no portion of Africa will
remain secluded from the world at the
end of another decade. 1t is not inn
probable that the end of the twentieth
century will leave Africa the most i'm
portant continent on the globe. The
proportionate influence of Europe
already wanes.-St. Loais Globe

formed from observation. that lon
gevity without regularity of habits is
rare. Those old people, men and
women alike, are put down as early
risers and retirers, almost without ex-
ception, and fully nineteen out OF
twenty have observed this custom
throughout life, except perhaps a;
some short period in youth. Meals
have been eaten regularly, three each
day, with dinner at noon, the excep-
tons being so rare as to indicate moth
ing. Exercise in most cases has been
hard work up to sixty-ive or seventy.
and after that period has consisted
(when the regular occupation has
been given up) of walking, gardening,
or both. Except in cases of sickness
these old people are as a rule as active
and as fond of constant occupation OF
some sort to-day as most men ana
women are at thirty-fve.

gathered in this canvass is that re-
garding occupations. Out of loo
