AFRICAN NAM ES.

a Treatise Upon I'll cir Proper Pronuncla-
tion Has Become a Necessity.
Mr.. Stanley has done great work in
African exploration. No other man has
been so successful in overcoming tho
difficulties and dangers which beset the
European traveller in its forest jungles
and among its fierce and treacherous
savage tribes. Thanks to his fertility
of resource and indomitable courage, we
are Low able to form fairly correct
idea OF tho geography OF that vast Sec
tion OF the dark continent which not
long ago was wholly unknown, and was
represented on tho maps by blank
space, or was treated in the manner de-
s>ribed by Dean Swift:

BASSET'I ( CO.
A WORD ABOUT DOGS.

why Their Instinct OF Guarding Property
Can lie Called an Artificial One.
This Is purely artificial instinct,
created by man expressly for his own
purposes: and it is now so strongly in
grained in tho intelligence Of the dog
that 1t is unusual to find any individual
animal in which 1t is wholly absent.
Thus, we all know that without any
training a dog will allow stranger to
pass by his masters gate without mo
lestation; but that AZ soon us the stran-
ger passes within the gate, and so tres
passes upon what the dog knows to bo
his masters territory the animal i'm
mediately begins to bark In orler to
give his master notice OF the invasion.
And this leads me TO observe that bark
ing Is itself an artificial instinct devel.
opcd. believe. as an olishoot from the
more general instinct OF guarding prop
erty. None of the wild species OF dogs
arc. known TO bark. and therefore we,must
conclude that barking is an artificial in
stinct acquired for the purpose OF noti-
flying to his master the presence of
thieves or enemies.
may further observe that this in
stinct of guarding property extends to
the formation of an instructive idea on
the part of the animal OF itself con-
stituting part OF that property. II, for
instance, friend gives you temporary
charge OF his dog. evon although the
dog may never ha.o seen you before,
observing that y'S are his masters
friend and that his master intends you
to take charge of him, he Immediately
transfers his allegiance from his master
to you, as to deputed owner, and will
then follow you through any number of
crowded streets with the utmost con-
ildence.
Thus, whether we look TO the mega
tive or TO the positive influence Of do
mestication upon the psychology of the
dog, we must conclude that change
has been wrought, so profound that the
whole mental constitution of the animal
now presents u more express reference
TO the needs OF another and his on
shaving animal than IL does TO his own.
Indeed, we may say that there is no one
feature in the whole psychology of the
dog which has been left unaltered by
the influence Of man, excepting only
those instincts which, being neither use
full nor harmful to man, have never been
subject to his operation-such, for in
stance, as tho instinct OF burying food,
turning around to make bed before
lying down, etc. IN. Y. Ledger.

lie entered Maiden Lsno shop and
asked for o watch.
II want something that will keep

The dealer brought small vclvetrug
and placed two watches on It, one SUI
perb gold instrument and the other

"Do you recommend these?"
'Wo do"
"Whose works."
"This," touching tho gold ono, sis by

"Six dollars and half against s345l
Both keep time; one keeps as good time
as the other. Do you really recommend
this nickel AFFAIR.""
1--WE do. NNo have sold numbers OF
thom and have never hoard . complaint.
No such watch can be made in this
country for any thing like the price. 1t
seems cheap enough at $3.50, but you
know there is duty of % per cent ON
It, besides which wo make a small profit.
dare say the same watch can be bought
in Paris for 20 francs.
Those foreigners have recently made
remarkable improvements in watches
and clocks, which sooner or later will
bring about u complete revolution in
horology. A journeyman clock-maker
in the ncighborhood OF Lyons has in
vented method Of making q lady's
watch 90 without being wound up dur
ing whole year, q mans watch during
three years, a pendulum OF middling
size twenty years, and a public clock for
space of $50 years.
'lle manufactures watches of so small
o size that they are worn in hnger-rings,
taking tho place OF seal, and require
winding but once IN fifteen days. OF
course you have heard OF the watch worn
by the Empress Marie Louise on the
forefngcr OF her left hand. That was
n rare jewel, and was said to have cost
$50, 200 francs. Fifty francs will buy ono
ike III now.
There is one great drawback to these
watches: They can be wound up only
by the inventor himself, or those ao-
quainted with his secret The works
are inclosed in cases Theoretically
sealed. But coming back to the busi-
ness in hand, this $3.50 is a
stem-wlnder and wants winding ev-
cry day like every other good and
honest watch. And the beauty OF such
watch is that you can carry it in the
same pocket with your knife and keys,
and when boot-jack isn't handy it's a
good thing to shy at cats in their matu-
tinal concerts, Every man, every gem
tleman, should provide himself with two
watches. I'll make you special offer:
Take the two at $3.50. We recomme nd
both"
at isn't half bad idea. Let's SEQ
I'll tell you what I'll do. Give me the
nickel watch for IS and II 1t proves en-
tirely satisfactory in a months wear I'll
take the other. What do you say ?"
The dealer was somewhat doubtful
about his customer, and the result was
no tradc.-N. Y. Tribune.

There are few other articles which
are classed as miscellaneous, while the
gardens themselves supply several small
items, such as the surplus guinea pigs
or the young sparrows, which are hatched
in nests that the old birds impudently
build on the premises. There is scarce
ly an animal in the gardens that is not
ready to catch the live sparrows that
audaciously enter their cages. A lion
has been seen to seize and swallow an
impudent sparrow that was picking at
the bones in his den. AS to the jackals
and foxes, they make short work with
any bird that mas trespassed in their
cages, while the monkeys are still more
excited when they catch victim, and,
with the inherent cruelty Of their race,
they usually torture the miserable bird
by pulling out its feathers before they
bite its head of. Pail Mall Gazette.

Hlppopotami Eat Considerably More Than
Fuil-Grown Elephants.
The best 'all around" article In the
Quarterly is decidedly the account of
. the consumption of food at the Zoo. Mr..
Bartlett, the superintendent OF our
famous gardens, has supplied some in
teresting facts. ut is rather instruct
ive," says the writer, "to consider that
one OF the daily items consists OF 100
pounds of fresh whiting, while the num-
Der of meal worms required for birds
and some other creatures, is cobuted in
many thousands daily. The cost OF feed
ing an elephant in captivity in England
differs considerably from the cost in
Cured in India, where it sometimes
lives entirely on coarse grass, earning
its own food as it wanders about in a
watery marsh full of its favorite past
ure." The daily provision for a full
grown elephant is calculated by Mr..
Bartlett at 15O pounds altogether in
weight, consisting of hay and straw,
roots, rice, bread and biscuit Elephants
are fond of spirits, but Zoo elephants
are Wilfred Lawsonites.
The food Of the hippopotamus is esti-
mated to be about 200 pounds day in
weight, and consists chiefly OF hay,
grass and roots. The daily provender
of giraffe weighs about so pounds. 1t
is rather dainty-feeding animal, and
prefers clover, chaff bran and oats, and
green food in summer. The lions and
tigers obtain eight or nine pounds Of
meat per diem. This is usually horse
flesh, as there is constant supply OF
carcasses of horses to be bough. AZ a

salnrles of Our Minlst.rs


Mr.. Frank G. Carpenter writes in the
New York World of the inadequate sal
aries paid to foreign Ministers as fol-
lows: minister Straus Of Turkey spent
more than twice his salary received
from the Government for entertaining
at Constantinople, and his dinners and
receptions were among the finest of
those at the court OF the Sultan. The
Consul General OF the United States at
Cairo can not well get along on less than
$4,000, and yet he receives but $1,000.
Our Consul-General at Calcutta, Mr..
Bonham, told mo that his salary was by
no means adequate to his social neces-
stiles. Calcutta has court almost as
brilliant as that of London. The finest
OF dinners are given, and the dresses OF
the ladies are imported from Paris. L
attended ball there which was quite
as swell as any ! have ever seen in
Washington, and the necessities OF life
are such that no man OF position can live
with less than from fifteen to twenty
servants. / doubt not that Senator
Palmer is spending at Madrid consider
ably more than he receives as Minister
to Spain, and Whitelaw Reid will never
get through with his social duties at
Paris on sl7, 900 year"
