What They Eat in Africa.
An African correspondent of Food and Jfrealth, speaking at the habits of the people and incidents, says: Of course hunter’s food, such as elephant foot, buffalo hump, sea cow, giraffe, ana the hundreds of different Finds of deer that abound in various parts of the country are all more or less good eating, especially when you have a good supply of Dame Nature’s sauce, hunger, on hand. I also found the coney or rock rabbit a fair dish, although too much like a large rat to look pleasant on the table. The natives of the country are not, as a rule, great meat eaters, living generally on corn (called there, mealies,) milk, pumpkins, and a sort of sugar cane, now and then going in for a feast of meat I have often considered whether to this way of living may be ascribed the really wonderful manner in which they recover from wounds. In the Zulu war I saw four persons wounded in the legs with bullets, one ol them especially having received a bullet just below the knee, smashing all the bones, and leaving a hole that you could see through- The doctors said the only hope for any of them was amputation. This they refused to allow, and they would do nothing but pour cold water from time to time. When I last saw them all but the worst could walk alone, aud his wound looked healthy, the bone having grown together, and knitted quite strongly. No white man could have lived without an operation. On the other hand, these men soon succumb to illness or disease.
Valuable Hints.
When ice is required at night for a sick person, break it into small pieces, and if it be scarce and care must be taken to prevent its melting, put into a soup plate, cover with another plate, and put between two feather pillows. Never wear a good woolen dress into, the kitchen without the protection of a large apron. N<s flannel that has not been carefully washed, and is not perfectly soft and fleecy, should ever touch the skin of an infant. We never had any patience with a mother or nftrse who would stick pins carelessly into her dress, collar, or ribbon, thereby inflicting painful wounds upon her innocent victim. Not a pin, excepting a safety pin, should be used bout a child, and when buttons will per■ria the oflice of pins they should be de to do so. To mothers, aunties, or sisters who do up the school luncheon for the youngsters :,pray make it as attractive in appearance as possible. There is truly nothing very attractive about a thick piece of dry bread and butter and a cookie, all rolled in a piece of coarse brown paper, washed down by a drink from the cup that “goes the rounds.” Such a luncheon will often impair the appetite of a fastidious or delicate child, and he will go without rather than eat it A little care in the cutting of the bread; the doing up of the cookies or crullers in tissue or white paper; the sauce or custard put into a pretty cup, and all wrapped in a clean white napkin viihm a bright tin pail, or, better still, a pretty lunch basket, will, by the pleasure it gives the child, well repay the ?xtra care and thought— Rural New Yorker.
Too Troo, Too Troo.
Man that is married to woman is of many days and full of trouble. Tn the morning he draws his salary, and in the evening behold it is all gone. It is a tale that is told, it vanisheth, and no one knoweth whither it goeth. He riseth up clothed in the chifiy garments of the night and seeketh the somnolent paregoric wherewith to heal the colicky bowels of his offspring. He imitateth the horse or ox, and draweth the chariot of his posterity. He spendeth his sßlkels in the purchase of fine linen and purple, ' to cover the bosom of his family, yet he himself is seen at the gates of the city with one suspender. He cometh forth as a flower, and is cut down. There is hope of a tree when it is cut down that the tender roots thereof will sprout again, but man goeth to his home, and what is he then ? Yea, he is altogether wretched.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
M. To use ant finds that the virus of tubercolons retains its power under eon- ' ditions which completely destroy the , germs of other contagious maladies. In experiments with the electric light i in night military operations, made at Chatham, England, bodies of men were , discovered at a distance of more than ' 1,000 yards. The horn of a rhinoceros, when cut ■ through the middle, is said to exhibit on , each side the rude figure of a man, the I outlines being marked by small white strokes. Various cases of poisoning from the ! use of perfumes have been reported. In one instance some heliotrope perfume applied to the face of a little girl produced an erysipelas which lasted lor a long time. It was found on investigation that the scent was not made with the odoriferous principles of plants, but with some of the products of coal-tar. Thomas and Lugel recently exhibited an apparatus for measuring the rapidity of growth of a plant. The plant itself is connected with an index which advances visibly and constantly, exhibiting the growth on a scale fifty times magnified. When the index is connected with an electric hammer, the current of which is interrupted as the index passes over the divisions of the circle, the growth of the plant becomes not only visible, but also audible to the ear. In this way it is now possible, literally, to “hear the grass grow.” Mb. Muybridge, the eminent San Francisco photographer, has exhibited his photographic marvels of Prof. Marey in Paris. He is now able to take a photograph in the hundreth part of a second. During a clown’s tap he obtained six photographs, showing different positions. By means of an improved zoetrope, he projects such figures on a screen, thus exhibiting the motions of a clown in his somersaults, a horse at gallop, a hare coursing and even birds at flight, etc.— the pictures of the various positions as they pass in rapid succession across the screen, uniting to form living figures. M. Plante hac succeeued in engraving on glass by means of electricity. The process is as follows : The glass is laid m a horizontal position, and covered with a concentrated solution of nitrate of potash, the liquid being retained by a shallow vessel in which the glass is placed. A platinum wire is dipped in a horizontal position in the solution along the edges of the glass. The wire is attached to one of the poles of a secondary buttery of fifty to sixty elements. The lines are traced by hand with the point of an insolated platinum wire, connected with the other pole of the battery. The parts of the glass covered with the alkaline solution become engraved when touched with the end of the platinum wire, however rapidly this is moved, the thickness of the lines varying with the thickness of the wire. The current from either pole may be used in the writing wire, “It is a marvelous eircumsbuce.’ j says Dr. Brancroft, “that the biack j man of Australia should have dropped i upon the same narcotic principle (nico tine) as the red man of America.” Pituri is a plant of Central Australia, not far removed f/'nith- tobacco plant. The T -ivt s of ho p ant are chewed by the • « ho ir-id.t with it extensively. C!v ini<’f»' an- b sis r'iow that th ■ alkaloid in wnich th- p culiar poisonous properties depend is nicotine, the same sub-i-tance to which tobacco owes its effects. Pituri is eagerly sought by the native Australians, not for the purpose of exciting their courage or combativeness, but to produce a dreamy, voluptuous hon.-.oion. .-ueh as is experienced by the opium eat'-r. It is often taken by the natives on tilt ir long marches to deaden the craving of hunger and to support them under excessive fatigue.
Water.
Water is so common that few persons think of it as the most important factor in the building up and civilization of the world. The rocks were mud and sand made by water and laid down by it, one kind on top of another. Coal, made of plants, was covered up by water, so that the lotten plants were kept-there and changed to coal. Veins of lead, copper, gold, silver and crystals, were cracks in the rocks, filled with water that had these precious things dissolved in it. And water, as ice (glaciers), ground up rooks into earth, in which plants can grow, the sea and streens helping to do the work. Water builds plants, and animals, too. Three-quarters of what they are made of is water. When you pay twenty cents for a peck of potatoes you are really paying fifteen of the cents for the water that is in the potatoes. A boy who weighs eighty pounds, if perfectly dried up, would only weigh twenty pounds. And there can be no potatoes or boy Without water. It must dissolve things to make them into new things; and it carries them where they are wanted to build the new things. It softens food, and then as watery blood carries the food to every part of the body to make new flesh and bones, that we grow and have strength. It carries the plant’s food up into the plant. Water carries man and goods in boats, and, as steam, drives the cars. It makes the wheels go in the factories. It is a great worker, and we could not get along without it It makes much of the beauty in the world.
