Swinging ship Berths.

Another adjustable ship-berth, which
is warranted to prevent seasickness, has
been invented, but 1T excites no citation
among the ocean line managers who
have tried similar inventions and who
remember them with wistful regret
born of big losses of money.
The new enemy of seasiclzness is the
product OF Massachusetts, man, and is
now on exhibition in London. 1t is a
sort of swing for supporting a ships
berth and maintaining it in level posi-
ton. 1t is an adaptation of the rotary
movement of the ball and socket joint
to sort of wooden hammock. Brackets
are screwed into the walls of the cabin,
provided at their outwardly projecting
ends with legs to which are secured the
back piece OF the ball and socket Joint
A spindle passing through the ball sup
ports a beam provided in the centre
with an aperture into which the lower
end of the joint passes. The berth is
suspended on these beams at all four
corners. III man lies on this affair
during the heaviest seas, n guarantee is
given by the inventor that he will feel
as easy as in his bed at home. And,
as to seasickness-why that dread COM
plant is kept at oceans length away
from the ship by this berth.

resulting, since it is irtimated that tnIss
times as many inhabitants Iowaaays
can live in comfort on the small extent
of ground as could be maintained WIN
out risking absolute dearth OF food. I'M
proved agriculture has been thoroughly
developed: two thirds OF the whole area
Of land is highly cultivated wheat, rye
oats, buckwheat and barley, being prlhI11

and, after one way or another, every
particle ofs the territory is made to ini-

The contemporaneous Hollanders are
slow and methodic, but they are by no
means inclined to rest idle with 50 mucn
work confronting them, so many urgent
needs requiring the utmost vigilance,
to begin with the threatening waves OF
the ocean which would overwhelm them
in general destruction without the ex-
listing artificial barriers.

Zanzibar.

The destiny of the Island OF Zanzibar,
off the East Coast of Africa, and com
handing maritime access to the Lake
District of the interior of the Dark Con-
tinent, is at this time a consideration OF
high political importance, with regard
to the division of German and British
colonizing enterprise on the mainland,
the combined naval blockade for the
suppression of the slave trade, ana the
instruction of the Suhei coast tribes
against the German settlements. IAN
zbar is an island forty eight miles long
and eighteen miles broad, formed by
reef of madrepore, with hills not above
400 feet high, and covered with luXur-
liant vegetation, the soil being IN most
parts extremely fertile. The popula-
ton, altogether numbering 300, 900, IN
cludes about IA, 600 Banyans OF the Hin
doc trading class from India, many OF
whom are British subjects; Arabs, chief
ly from Oman or from Muscat; Parsee
merchants: free and slave blacks from
different parts of Afiicn, from the Com
orc Islands and Madagascar; and the
native race, who live in huts of waffle
and clay. The part of Zanzibar where
the late Saltan -Burghash resided,
is fine bay or harbor on the west coast,
fronting Africa, and the town has at
least 10000 inhabitants. The connec-
ton between Southern Arabia and Fan
zibar is of very ancient date, but was
long interrupted by the Portuguese
dominion, which on this part Of the East
African coast has been abandoned,
though it is still reality in the Mozam-
biaue Channel and far to the south. Fan
zibar, however, did not exercise any
functions Of actual government on the
main land, while claiming titular SOW
ereignty along its ea-coast.-Frdnk

Hollands Agricultural Products.

The soil OF Holland is very fertile,
and being extraordinarily well irrigated,
is adapted for rich grazing growths;
consequently the country enjoys pre-
eminent yield in dairy products, and,
as indicating to what extend, there may
be cited as n single instance the fact
that in one item of butter and butterine
it exports to England S25, 600, 900 worth
annually. Holland could not crush its
old rivals supremacy on the seas, but it
eclipses her to-day in making butter, so
true is it that time sizes up all at last,
communities as well as individuals, ac-
cording to what they best can do.
Always noted for their horticulture
and abundant exports Of garded pro-
duce, the Dutch originally discovered
and improved what are called the
artificial grasses, which, by supply
ing more abundant fodder to animals,
and much more rs well as more nutrit-
ious hay, rendered it possible to increase
stock on land. They have the title
of discovering the use of that valu-
able article, clover, as well as many
Others of a like nature, and both nat
uralized and improved upon them,
and OF having been the first to
teach other nations how to preserve
cattle in sound condition through win
ter. and to Danish diseases by the con-
slant supply OF wholesome, fresh diet.
Their cattle have long b en-, and still
are. among the finest of Europe, and
their dairy products find ready sale,
not alone in England, but in continental
countries. The cattle are exported for
breeding and dairy purposes. In their
garden products they have carried the
cultivation of vegetables, especially Of

A Feminine Popularity.

A friend asks me if l have ever noticed
that women never reckon time by the
calendar years. For instance, a man
says, /" My house was burned in the
Summer Of ST." His wife says, "Our
house was burned eleven years ago last
Summer" Yes, l have noticed this
feminine popularity, and | doubt very
much if one married woman ont Of
twenty here in Jacksonville can off-hand
tell the exact year Of her wedding.
She may have the mouth aud the day
on her tongues end, but the '6s and
Sis she has no use for.-Sa-ls0asgille
