Coffee to save u Horses Life.

The German naturalist Martin re-
lates a case he recently met of a horse
which owed its life to coffee. 1t was
in such a bad way hat it was consid-
cred incurable, and the owner sold the
animal for fifteen dollars. The animal
was then almost a skeleton, and 30
weak that it could hardly walk. The
man who bought the horse Immediate
ly began to treat it with coffee, giving
.infusions of roasted coffee beans, and
also coffee beans ground and mixed
with honey. In a short time the horse
began to improve, and after a few
months its new owner was offered two
hundred and fifty dollars for it. He
told Herr Martin he had brought round
by the anne treatment many horses
which had been overworked or had lost
their strength and appetite. Boston

The food of this enormous animal is
entirely vegetable, such as the plants
which grow upon the margin of lakes
which it tears up with it's great tusks.
cutting them through as clearly as
though done with a scythe. Unfor-
tunately it does not confine itself to
these, but leaving the water under
cover of night a whole herd of these
amphibians will invade cultivated
fields, devouring and trampling
the crops in a terrible manner. The
natives of Africa in some parts eat por-
tions of the flesh of the hippopotamus.
Its tusks are valuable for ivory. The
hippopotamus is generally inofensive
unless attacked, but can be reused to
fits of rage very dangerous to those
who pursue it.
There are several methods of destroy
ing this animal. The natives dig pits
in the usual track leading to the wa
ter, or they shoot it with poisoned ar
rows. Europeans shoot the game with
rifles while it is in the water. If at
tackled from the lane the hippopotamus
may become enraged and make a rush
for the enemy, and then it will be found
that it can run with speed, crashing its
way through the African forest more
rapidly han a man can do. Hunting
the hippopotamus in boats on the river
IS dangerous sport, for the animal is
active and ~buoyant in the water, swim
ming with ease, sometimes diving an
der a boat and heaving it upward
broken into pieces. The mother hip
popotamus is very careful of her young
one, and may sometimes be seen swim
m ing with the ungainly little creature
seated on her back.-N. Y. Herald.

A mirage of Turanian civilization. a
shadow of the past projected upon the

of life-this, and more, is the Chinese
quarter in San Francisco.
These thirty thousand souls, huddled
together in spaces wellnigh unbreath-

silently and imperturbably pursuing
their mysterious ways. so supremacy
indifferent to all that hens them in,
men they seem not, but shades ''all too
impalpable" from the deep Tartarus of
Time.
Architecturally, however, little China
is at most but an in ~1uence, and it
is doubtful whether a single struc-
ture in the entire colony owes
its existence entirely to Chinese
capital. Indeed, the necessities of the
case made no such demand upon the
frugal and thrifty Mongol. Like Mo-
liere, he took his own wherever he
found it. The huge business block of
San Francisco's early commercial period
and the hastily-constructed shanty of
the sand hills alike became his property
by right of conquest, and he found both
orders to American architecture equal
ly available. The shanty soon shone
resplendent in vernal green and sacri-
fetal red; and the hard uncompromis-
ing lines of warehouse, dry-goods en-
porium, and office building were soft
ened by many a jutting gable and pro-
jecting balcony, hung with lanterns
and refreshed with lilies.-Henry Bur-
den Mcdowell, in Harper's Magazine.

A NEW THEORY.
1t Concerns One of the Least Understood
of Physiological Phenomena.

It Concerns One of the Least Understood
of Physiological Phenomena.
Sleep is one of the least understood
of physiological phenomena. A new
theory of it has been offered by Herr
Rosenbaum. He supposes the essential
fact in the fatigue of the nervous sys-
tenn leading to sleep to be a hydrata-
ton of the nerve cells. an increase of
their water content. The greater the
hydratation, the less the irritability.
This hydratation arises through chem
zeal change of the nervous substance
during activity. A small part OF the
water escapes by day through the
lungs, but the greater part is eliminated
during sleep. It's passage into the blood
takes place by virtue of the laws of diffu-
sion. and depends on the quantity and
density Of the blood, its amount Of fixed
principles, speed of its flow, etc.
Elimination of the expired air takes
place according to the laws of diffusion
of gases. The assimilable substances
OF the body take the place of the water
eliminted in sleep. The repair of the
physical and mental forces through
sleep is due to this elimination and re-
placement. Intelligence is in inverse
ratio of the proportion of water in the
brain, and may be measured by this
proportion, at least in the child. 1t
may be doubted whether this theory
explains the sleep of alternating ami
mails or that caused by opium and an

better than, if as good, as the quality
raised on the islands. The tobacco
industry is wholly undeveloped, ex-
cept in isolated spots, where quanti-
ties for private consumption are
raised. Nitre is a necessary chemical
in soil which grows fine tobacco,
and in certain localities the proper
amount of nitre is found. Tobacco
similar to that grown in Sumatra and
Hawaii cannot be raised in the United
States.
Coffee of very high grade grows in
Hawaii. Little of it is raised because
of American duties and an absence Of
domestic enterprise, which, as said,
is generally confined to the cultivation
of sugar The coffee which we have
grown is of q superior quality, rank
ing in both strength and fineness with
Mocha. About year ago, when
samples of tea were sent to London,
small quantities of coffee were also
sent. 1t was thoroughly tested and
sold on the London market as high as

pineapples is cultivated, while the
supply can be made sufficiently large
to meet the demands. An acre of land
will raise about 5000 pineapples each
year, with reasonable attention. The
canned pineapple industry in the
United States is enormous, but, owing
to the duties here, Hawaii is not now
a competitor with other countries for
the trade. The business of shipping
dried and canned fruits is unborn, so
to speak, in our country. Were we
part of the United States, and the
duties now against us removed, the
cost of such articles of consumption
would be materially reduced.

TOSSED FROM A THRONE.
a Young Man Misses a Chance
20 Become Sultan of
Zanzibar.

ZANZIBAR, March 6.-Seyrid Ali ben
Said, Sultan OF Zanzibar, is dead, and the
next in line, Hamid ben Thwain, son of
a deceased brother, sits upon the throne;
but only after the British troops marched
to the palace and by prompt intimidation
OF arms prevented the British protecto.
rate from being overthrow. No sooner
had the Sultan breathed his last than his
son Kalid gained admittance to the
palace by rear entrance and sought to
usurp the rule.
Relying upon the discomfort which
the extinguishment OF the slave trade
has caused, young Kalid hoped to gain
the throne. By his order the portals to
the strongly built castle were barred,
and preparations for defense at once
entered upon. General Mathews, presi-
dent OF the council, had been antici.
pating the ATTEMPT, and Immediately
upon the news OF the death, even before
dawn, marines were landed from her
Majesty's ship-of-war Philomel and
seized the entrance to the palace and
compelled kalid to admit them. The
native police, under the command OF
British officers, kept order in the native
quarters, and prevented any display of
characterization.
Kalid is now under q guard OF soldiers
and the natives are completely over
awed.
This is the third time within a
little more than five years that one
Sultan has died and another has taken
his place but it is the first time that tbs
British have taken the matter into their
own hands and selected one OF their own
favorites for the throne Some three
years ago Great Britain and Germany
put their heads together, and to all prac-
tical purposes divided among themselves
what was left OF the Sultan's dominions.
The Island of Zanzibar was included in
the territory over which 1t was agreed
that Great britain should establish q pro-
tectorate. This was done with the con-
sent OF the Sultan VINO has Just died. his
consent having been obtained, no doubt.
as consent is often obtained BY the
strong from the weak. In 1891 a regu-

he heard noise as if something
had dropped to the floor in an ad-

located between the kitchen and
pantry, spread rapidly, and Mr..
Vivas had scarcely time to escape
