Of this Great Britain uses ‘ 184,000,000 pounds per annum. —The tea plant succeeds well in Cali- fornia. and a. number of years ago ex- tensive gardens were planted in that state by a colony of Japanese. —:\s much mocha coffee comes from Brazil as from Arabia. The Brazilian mocha consists of small round beans growing at the tops of the branches.

As the oil burns it. consumes the smoke, the injection of oil being adjusted at will to the amount of smoke expected at each fresh charge of fuel. —It is stated by Mr. R. M. Bache in the Psychological Review that negro children are quicker in their motions than the offspring of white persons, and he suggests that the higher men- tal qualities of civilized white races may have been gained at the sacrifice of quickness of response to outside stimuli. 7 '——‘~\I. .W'oitoff, professor of bacteriol- ogy in Moscow,was experimenting with the bacteria. that produce putrcfaction a year ago, when the bottle containing the microbes burst, and a small frag- ment of the glass scratched his neck slightly. The wound healed, but he be- came ill. and after suffering a year has just died of the poison. —A growing thought with bacteri- ologists is that the healthful actions of life are dop‘cndent as much on bacterial action as, those which seem to have a deleterious effect. The sugar of the maple. tree, undoubtedly useful in the tree‘s economy. secms the result ofbac- tcriul :ici ion. \Vhilc, however, one form of bacterium may be at work in the sugar factory, another, with other views, may be laboring to upset its work. CHINESE DEFEAT ORDAINED. Their God of War Planned a. Scourging Jap Invasion. We know why the Japanese won. It was because the Chinese neglected their god of war to worship at the shrine of Marco Polo. Of course, the god of war resent-ed this. He had to have revenge, and be arranged it, saying:. “They made a god of Marco Polo, the Eu- ropean, and I am going to make room in the Chinese heaven for two or three Japanese deities. The Chinese are stanch in their likes and dislikes, but all their other dislikes together cannot compare with their dislike of the J up: ancsc. Therefore, I will give them a Japanese invasion.” Everybody knows the result. ' ‘ You may find an allegory in the fore- going. It was a. dream that came to an Jnglishwoman in a. Peking palace, after placing upon. a wonderfully-carved black table a queerly-shaped yellow cup from which she had drained “the semi- nectar that had never known the insult of sugar or the disgrace of milk.” It’s symbolism, true enough. For the Chi- ncsc did run after strange gods to the neglect of their own, and weakness re- sulted. With this there is a picture of the god who got road. He is called Wing Tai, and has a Punch-like face, and something Spanish about his ear- rings, but from the throat down he is altogether a man of China. “It is possible,” she remarks, “that so wise a god will he apparently cruel to be ultimately kind, and is trying to teach the Chinese a lesson. The people have already gone back to his worship, and sooner or later,” she adds, “unless China. be quite torn from her place among the nations, Wing Tai will for- give his votaries, and when Chinese pa- tience (there is no perfect patience ex- cept the Chinese) has done its perfect work, when China has learned from Japan, for the great have to learn once in awhile from the little, then China. may become united and entire." In that day she will not need Russia 01‘ England or the allied powers, for her citizens are as the grass blades of the field in numbers—N. Y. Press. FAST COLORS WERE THESE. Egyptians Know the Art of Making Dyes That Lasted for Years. In antiquity besides indigo and pur- ple few colors were employed, and these were obtained for the most part from the vegetable kingdom, but their purity was so great. that they have kept well 'to our own times, after hav- ing undergone for centuries the action of the air and the sun. The fact is very remarkable in the Egyptian tombs; the stone has been disin- tegrated ,by weathering, while the col- ors have been preserved. The color that we meet most frequently is a mix- ture of reddish brown oxide of iron (red hematite) and clay, known under the name of Pompeiian red. This col- or, which has resisted for 4,000 years the sun of Egypt and the action of the air, is equally proof against acids. The Egyptians reduced it by rubbing be- tween stones underwater to a degree of fitness that we cannot obtain nowa— days by chemical precipitation. An equally precious yellow pigment, also much used, was formed of a. natural oxide or iron mixed with much clay, chalk and water and browned by the action of the heat; this mixture gives orange. For this yellow color gold bronze or gold leaf was also employed. For blue they used a glass covered with copper minerals; this pigment. was not less permanent than the preceding, even acids having very little effect upon it. Gypsum or plaster of paris furnished white and also formed the basis of pale colors when organic pig- ments were added to it,\probably mad- der for md. The colors were always thinned and rendered adhesive by means of gums. ”It is interesting to know, as is proved by inscriptions, that the artists regarded their colors as im- perishable.—-Cosmos. g _ l Stephen Stanley Jr., claims to h avea heu that lays frozen eggs.

The first, though so close to Regent street, might be a. dozen miles away; there is a welcome unkemptness; the grass is rank and wild; there are old trees ranged around its border in a systematic way; The houses round are picturesque, because every one is distinct. The square is given over to commission agents, merchants and trade generally, yet within a. few years it was a place of genteel residence, like a usual square, and we find the late Cardinal W'iseman living in a substantial mansion here. Dickens, it will be remembered, placed Ralph Nickell)y’s house. here, which 1s described on the occasion of the party of Sir Frederick and Sir Mulberry as having almost palatial apartments and the richest furniture, As we wander around we are struck with the melan- choly tone of the inclosure, yet every thing seems brisk enough, but it- be- longs to the old world. The square itself is very attractive and original, with a. sort of Dutch or foreign air; we. note the fine trees which shelter it all around in symmet- rical lines and the Roman warrior sort of statue in the center, arrayed in full armor, and representing George II. The grass and walks are laid out with a certain free-and—easy carelessness that is very acceptable and contrasts with the trim, shaven, soulless treat- ment of modern squares. Altogether a visit to Golden square will interest. Berkeley square everyone knows. Yet it has an extraordinary, sympa- thetic attract-ion from its gross and fine shading old trees. No one, we may be sure, has noted that these leafy patri- archs seem to range in two rows down the middle, like an avenue. The fact is it was the demesne of the lawn in front. of the old Berkeley house, which stood at the back of Devonshire house. The mansions around are very fine, and the iron work, railings, etc., are all admired and to be admired. There are some queer things to be told about squares: for instance, that there was 3. Gen. Strode, who had :1 mania for set- ting up statues in squares at his own expense. We have seen equestrian statues in Leicester square propped up with broomsticks, with portions broken away.-——~Gen-t1eman’s Magazine. THE TINDERBOX. Its Use Required Much Work—A Collec- tlon of Snuflers. Does any one of my readers know ‘ where a. tinderbox can be seen,or has any ofirlthem an idea. of what it is like? For- tunately I came upon a description of it in‘ the recently published account of the lifetime of John Hollingshead. "The tinderbox was the boy of my child- hood.” It was certainly not a. toy in my time; it was very much the reverse —-an absolute necessity. I will allow however, Mr. I'lollingshead still to - speak. “Without it there would have been no light or fire—with it there were (after a time) light and fire and a cer- tain amount of safety. No child could burn down a house or burn itself to a. cinder with a tinderbox.” (It was, in fact, beyond the reach of most children to strike a light.) First of all, the rags had to be got and burned into a tinder. “This tinder was put into a large round tin box, big enough for a pic dish. Then a piece of jagged flint had to be got, and a thing called ‘a steel,’ which might have been the re- mains of an old horseshoe, had to be purchased; the flint struck edgeways on the steel sent sparks into the tinder, which smoldered and prepared itself for the matches. . ~ “The matches were a formidable bun- dle of thin strips of wood, diamond- pointed at the ends and dipped in brim- stone. They suggested Guido Fawkes and the cellars of the old houses of parliamentand the ‘guys’ in the streets, carried in chairs by boys, who repre- sented a proper Protestant horror of all Roman Catholics.” It is now half a century since I have seen such athing. It is possible that in the country it still exists; with the penurious char-' actor of the French peasant and the heavy tax in France on matches it is more than probable that it might there be found. In London it is now an an- tiquity. References to the flint in this respect are frequent in Shakespeare, the best known being that in “Julius Caesar,” wherein Brutus tells Cassius that he “Carries anger as the flint bears fire, Which, much enforced, shoWs a hasty spark And straight is cold again." Other things, such as horn lanthorns, are at least uncommon. Snuifers were at one time in constant use and may be seen now, for aught I know, in certain quarters. One thing at least I know—— a friend of mine has taken to collecting them as curios—Gentleman’s Maga- zme. Enforcing Peace. The late Prof. John Stuart Blackie was 'a man of marked individuality, as well as one of the mostlearned and pro- lific writers of his time. He was fond of peace, but had a good deal of Scotch pugnacity in his composition. He himself used to tell a. story of his early life which he thought exemplified both the traits in his own character. “As a boy," he said, “I was always an- tagonistic to school fights; pugilism had no fascinations for me. One day a. fellow-pupil came blustering to me, and said: ' ' , “ ‘Come, now, will you fight me?’ “ ‘No,’ I replied, ‘but I will knock yOu down! ’ “This I proceeded to do, amid the ap- plause of the school.” This seemed very like fighting, but it had the effect to cause the Blackie boy’s desire for peace to be respected after that. It may sometimes be found nec- essary for nations to proceed on the same plan.— Youth’s Companion. Golden . How Many), In Stay? .
