Oriental Geography.

An ignorant man, especially if fate
has placed him in position of power,
is always conceited. Taken as class,
Oriental rulers are the most ignorant
men in the world, and the Sultan of
Morocco is no better or no worse than
his brethren.
Talking one day with Frenchman
who dwelt on the frontier between
Morocco and Algeria. the Sultan
wished to lie exactly informed as to
the position of the frontier line.
TO explain it the Frenchman laid
before him map, with the names of
the places and water-courses marked
in Arabic
The Sultan was amazed at the sight
of this map, such as he had never seen
before. However, not wishing to seem
Inundated, he said TO the Frenchman !:
"Oh! / have map, too. L believe
it is better than yours, for that matter. F"
And he signed to his chamberlain,
who left the room and returned with a
long, narrow box. Out of this he took
a stick covered with linen, stretched
over ribs, which, when opened out,
formed terrestrial globe, the stick
Icing the axis. On this globe Morocco
was about as large as your little finger
nail
az was obliged to make the best of
it," sad the Sultan, pointing sadly to
the tiny space his dominions occupied
on the face of the earth. IL asked q
learned man to make me globe like
this, with one side of it filled by
Morocco and the rest of the world on
the other, but he could not do it.

The Atlantic Record.

The steamships have not yet done
with the Atlantic record. But the
proof of the pudding is not more in
the eating than that of the ship in her
actual sailing or steaming. Vessels
bulit' so lar as appe tred, exactly alike
have shown wide diff, renee in speed.
The newer craft will illustrate the
question of the double screw. The
principle has been successful in its APP
plication to smaller boats on rivers and
IN harbors. If it works well in rough
water it will largely revolutionize ma
rine construction. So, as far as the
romance of the wet sheet" and the
flowing sea" and the "wind that fol.
lows fast" sinks below the ocean hori.

Figs as FOod.

One of the Persian kings caused the
celebrated Attic figs to be set before
him whenever he dined, for one reason,
TO remind him that the land where
they grew was not yet his, and that,
instead of receiving the fruit as a trib-
ute, he was obliged to buy it from
abroad; and, for another, that it was
not only the emblem of health bat the
most wholesome fruit grown. The fig
is now pretty we'll known to be, es-
pecially at certain seasons, almost the
common food of the Italian people,
and for months they may be said to
live entirely upon it, AS DR.. Nichols
says, it is not only possible for man
to live upon figs, but, sitting under his
own vine and tig tree, man has plenty
of food and no landlord. When eaten
fresh, the fig is a medicine as well as
food; and they who eat freely need no
potions and no aperients. Full of nu-
triton and all those properties that
make il valuable as an article of diet,
we are confident that the 6g will take
prominent position in the estimation
of all who work for and believe in food
reform. For myself, L would simply
add that, again and again. without
liquid of any kind, the luscious green
fig, eaten with whole-meal bread, has
formed a meal at once. simple but rich,
and, like the Spaniard's salad, fit for a
king. The fig is not only very popu-
lar but it is the most ancient fruit we
cultivate. In many countries the
failure of this crop also means starva-
ton and famine Travellers in Asia
Minor and Southern Europe provide
themselves with figs and olives as pro-.
visions for long journeys, and not only
live but grow fat on the diet. The fig
has more medicinal properties and more
nutriment than any other fruit, with
the exception of the olive.-Interior

hurry it is no trifiing task to send out
to the store for such small articles as
sugar, tea and eggs, when you know
your next-door neighbor, Mrs. W., al
ways has goodly supply, and you can
easily borrow what you are in need Of
To be sure, you sent over and bor-
rowed some starch of her only this
morning, and you are conscious of the
fact that Mrs w. has never borrowed
80 much as pin of you; but no mat
ter, run right over and get cup Of
sugar. Take the largest cup you have
in the house, and when you return the
sugar - if you ever do = select the
smallest cup You Jan find, and don't
fill it very full, for fear y:u will spill
some.
Then, while you are getting the SUI
gar, don't forget to ask for her flat
irons, for you know you will want to
iron tomorrow and will need them.
OF course. you have ilatirons of your
own, but you like Mrs. W.. s the best,
for they are much larger and conse-
quently will hold the heat longer. And
while there, if you think of anything
else you want, don't have any con-
scientious scruples about asking for it.
Mrs. w. is such pleasant woman,
and so obliging. No doubt she con-
siders it great privilege to lend you
her things, and when they are worn
out she can easily replace them, pro-
viding, of course, she has money
enough to do so, and if she snt-she
ought to have.
You forget that you have only
known her three weeks, and you are so
glad she moved next door, for she is
such an accommodating soul.
You will be utterly dumfounded
when you look out of the window one
of these fine mornings and find Mrs.
w. is moving out What can be the
matter2 You rush right over and ask
her why she is going away, and tell
her how dreadfully you will miss her,
etc. Perhaps she will tell you there is
sewer-gas in the house.
This sounds rather improbable, il
you take into consideration the fact
that the houses in your block have all
been built within the past year, but
you don't.
Six months later you are convinced
that there must be sewer-gas in that
house, or something equally as disas-
trous; for, although many families have
moved into it, none have remained
more than a few weeks, and the place
is always to rent; likewise the one on
the other side of you. So, being fully
impressed with the idea that it is
"sewer-gas," you Immediately move
yourself.
Let me tell you, my friend, sewer-gas
had nothing to do with these houses
being empty; it was because- But
what is the use? You would not be-
lieve me; so, rather than get into
tronble. / refuse to explain further.

The plants recently collected from
Christmas Island by the English Ad-
miralty prove to be closely allied to
those of Java. Yet their isolation has
had the effect of making them mostly
unlike their Java congeners, though
not sufficiently different to be specifi-
cally distinguished. In this gradual
alteration Mr.. w. L. Thiselton Dyer
sees "a manifest case of nascent spe-
cies."

Fraud i'm the Popular Vote.

Dishonest and tricky Democratic politi-
clans and writer's claim that Harrison is a
minority" President, having received a
smaller number of votes than Cleveland.
They present a table of the so-called
popular vote" at the late election to prove
their assumption. The figures which they
claim are as follows:
Total vote for Cleveland $50 $50
Total vote for Harrison 439, S'J
Majority for Cleveland .............. 10o,476
These figures are incorrect by several
thousands, but that is not essential.
They do not give anything like the num-
Der of Republican and Democratic votes
that would have been cast If the elections
in eight or ten States, or moro, had not
been conducted in accordance with a vast
system of terrorism and fraud. The figures
in a few States only will show. In Louis
lana there were in 1880 l07,977 colored
citizens and voters, all Republicans.
There is also q large white Republican
population in Louisiana. Yet only 80, 70l
Republican votes were permitted to be cast
IN the entire State. In Mississippi-the
land OF negro massacres-out OF $50, 21S
colored citizens and voters. but 80 096
Republican votes were permitted TO be
cast. In South Carolina, out of lis, 1872
colored citizens aud voters, but l3, 736 Re-
publican votes we're permitted to be cast.
This comparison of the number OF Re-
publican votes with the number of Re-
publicans voting could be extended to all
the solid South. But it is unnecessary.
The facts show that in South Carolina
alone more than enough Republican yot-
ers we're DISTINGUISHED to have wiped out
entirely Cieveland's apparent assumed
and fraudulent majority at abe polls
Doubtless if full. fair and honest vote
had been cast and counted Harrison's
majority over Cleveland would have been
from SOC, 600 TO 500, 900, or perhaps mere.
