LITERARY EXTRACT* Houses IN Abyssinia.—These erections hlL' at teest but wretched affairs, being little better than hovels. The knowledge of architectture which their various conquerors introduced amongst them seems to have been speedily forgotten, or to have taken little root among the native population. Their dwellings are varied in shape, but the circular form is the more popular one. Some are square, with a flat roof, and if the occupier is a wealthy person, it may be divided into several rooms, one of which is appropriated to the horses and mules of the esta- blishment; the "stably" odour of the rooms is therefore rather strong. Add to the fact that the floored is st ewed, in lieu of carpets, with grass, which is allowed to remain until it is in a rotten condition, and the flavour of an Abyssinian house may be imagined. The furniture consists chiefly of a low table and a few seats, and on the walls are hung arms, accoutrements of the chase, &c.—Bo k -of the Races of Mankind. THE Truth ABOUT THE UPAS TRER.-The tree produces a milky juice, from which one o the most virulent of vegetable poisons is prepared; but the growing tree is in itself not actively injurious. It gives off no subtle poison to taint the air around it. Vegetation flourishes at its base, and it may be approached or ascended by man like the other trees of the forest. Only when a tree is extensively wounded, or cut down, and a large quantity of the juice is exposed to the action of the atmosphere, are its injurious effects at all felt, and then it pro- duces a slight heat or itching of the eyes. The inner bark-which is of a close fibrous texture, like a very coarse piece of linen-is, after being care- fully bruised, steeped, and washed, made into rude garments which the poorer labourers wear in the field. But they can nevpr get the fibre completely rid of the juice that originally abounded in it; for if the wearer happens to get wet, an intolerable itching is produced by the covering, which makes it unbearable.-The World of Wonders. A Wife's DEVOTION.-After a toilsome detour among the mountains, they outflanked a stock- aded fort, which the Americans set in flames and abandoned. The 20th Regiment pursued a portiou of the fugitives as far as Castleton, where the colonists made a resolute stand, and a sharp con- flict ensued, and Major Dyke Acland was sev. rely wounded. His wife, Lady Christian Fox (daughter of Lord Ilchester;, a noble woman, whose affec- tionate solicitude for her husband's safety, a'1d whose endurance of hardship, and courage in the faee of peril, were the theme of praise in many an old periodical, and made her the idol of Burgoyne's army, had been landed with the other Jadies of the army at the Isle au Noix. Amid the most tempestuous weather she joined him, and at Fort Edward, a village consisting then of some twen'y log huts, she had constructed under her own eye a vehicle fashioned by two artillerymen out of an old ammunition cart; and in this impromptu carriage she resolved to follow the troops wherever they went, throughout the entire campaign, re- solved that. come what might, she should never be separated from her husband, to whem she was tenderly attached.-u British Battles on Land and Sea," by James Grant. RUSSIAN OFFICERS AND SOLDIERs.-The Russian officers neither kDew nor cared what were the movements to be made, nor their chances of success. Of the orders for the morrow, the preparation that might be required for their execution, they knew nothing. None of them, except, of course, two or three of the staff, had any maps; and none of them even knew how far it was to the next well. They are as brave as line. Generous, kindly, pleasant fellows, ever ready to offer you their hos- pitality or to do you a favour, they are sure to v. in your affection and esteem. If no meat is given the Russian soldier, it is evidently because there is none. Of if the meat furnished is rotten, it is because of the hot weather, and there is no kelp for it. If his shoes are worthless, and his feet are frozen, it is by reason of the cold. If his bis- cuits are worm-eaten, it is the fault of the worms. He never thinks of blaming anybody. If by any bungling mistake he is brought under fire, where his comrades fall round him by the hundred, and his regiment undergoes sure annihilation, it is the will of God, and must be submitted to. Nor does it ever occur to him tc correct the judgment of his officers by running away.—MacGahan's Fall of Khiva. -THE If ROLL CALL.The action of trotting squarely is distinctly diagonal, the off fore and i he off hind foot following each other. It has al wa', s, and correctly, been taken for granted that the action of walking is the same. But in the summer of 1874 the walk of the officer's horse in Miss Thompson's celebrated picture of The Roll Call," in which the animal is represented as n oving both legs on the same side simultaneously, created a hot controversy, which raged in the columns of the Times and Field newspapers. The odd thing about this question was, that although all were sure about trotting action, many, including myself, had never thought about walking action at all; and, when we began to observe, were not a little puzzled by the difficulty of correctly noting the slow, almost simultaneous motion •of three legs. Yet those exact realists, the illumi- nators of missals, had correctly caught the action of the walk three hundred years ago. Mias Thomp- son defended herself stoutly by the example of the great French artist Meissonier, and StonehengeV' description of the walking pace, which, however, she misunderstood. Meissonier probably studied his horse's paces from high school chargers. At any rate, there is no doubt that in this detail the very clever young artist was wrong.- easse It's Book of the Horse." FIGHT BETWEEN Sticklebacks.—A naturalist thus describes the habits of these little fishes, during their confinement in a tub :—" When a few are first turned in, they swim about in a shoal, apparently exploring their new habitation. Sud- denly one will take possession of a corner of the tub, or as it will sometimes happen, of the bottom, and will instantly commence all attack on his com- panions and if any one of them ventures to oppose his sway, a regular and most ferocious battle ensues the two combatants swim round and round each other with the greatest rapidity, biting, and endeavouring to pierce ca h othar with their spines which, on these occasions, are projected. I have witnessed a battle of this sort p ro e which lasted several minutes before either would give way and when one does submit, imagination can hardly con eive the vindictive fury of the con- queror, who, in the most persevering and unrelent- ing way, chases his rival from one part of the tub to another, until fairly exhausted with fatigue. They also use their spines with such fatal effect, that, incredible as it may apuear, I have seen one, during a battle, absolutely rip his opponent quite open, so that he sank to the bottom and d ied I have occasionally known three or four parts of the tub taken possession of by as many o her little tyrants, who guard their territories with the strictest vigilance; and the slightest invasion invariably brings on a battle. These are the habits of the male fish alone; the females are quite peaceful, appear fat, as if full (,f roe. and never assume the brilliant colours of the male, by whom, as far as I have obsern d, they are'un- 1ll0Jestec1: -CasselL s Popular Natural History. Regular Living.—At least forty millions of the inhabitants of India look to the rice crops for their sole diet. A good crop means plenty an average crr.p, high pri es a fail ng crop, starvation. Rice is to the intertropical nations of the east what wheat is to us, and oats and rye to the raoie northern countries. To the Hindus, whose religion forhids them flash, it is more; if. is their sacred food and sole subsistence. Not only this, for out of the intricacies of their creeds new difficulties arise. One caste refuses to touch food that another caste has handled. They would eat what they them, eelres have raised; the rest is impure. Thus, when their crops fail, many accept neato in prefer. ence to that which their faith holds as unclean food. Those win have lived in India are familiar with the sight of a Hindu family seated on the ground around a pan of boiled \rice as big as a sronge-bath, helping themselves, and feeding wita their fingers until the dish is empty- Two sue^ meals a day are what the working classes subsst on. A little salt is frequently the only flavouring. Sugar, ghee, oil, and vegetables are luxuries in which they do not often indulge. One pound of rice at each of these two meals is what a man con suiiies on an average, though in times of plenty ae seems to be able to go on swallowing rice as long as any remains in the dish. There is a standing joke against them, that they never know when they have eaten enough until they have measured them- selves round the middle. A pound of rice swells into a bulk incredibly enormous for one stomach, we English would think. Not for a Hindu peasant: he finishes his meal with a good draught of water, and if, then, he have attain,!d satis actory dimen- sions, he decides that he has eaten enough. T' is is the ludicrous aspect of a simple custom, which however, gives us some idea of what rice is in In ia to the many millions who eat nothing- e se.— Chamltrs' J:<uma The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge have in the press, Cliristinus under the Cie. oi-ut in Asia," by the Rev. E. L. Cutts, who has lately returned from an official visit to the Christians of Kurdistan, made at the instance 01 the two archbishops.
FACETLE. I
FACETLE. Where may everlasting spring be found --In an india-rubber factory. There's the mile dancing with the milestone," said a gentleman, pointing to a very tall man dancing with a very short lady. A lazy boy complaining that his bed was too short, his father sternly replied: "That is be- I cause you are always too long in it, sir." We are informed that high medical authorities have become satisfied that fatal cases of sun- stroke cannot be cured." Too true, too true. "You're a smart fellow," sneeringly said a lawyer to a witness. "I'd return the compliment were I not under oath," responded the witness. It is suggested that one reason why so many marriages turn out unhappily is because the bridegroom is never the best man at the wed- ding. It is suggested that polo clubs be organised in all the large cities to skirmish through the streets and play their clubs on the polls of disorderly people. A dull farm hand being told to grease the waggon, came in a few hours afterwards and said: I've greased every part of the waggon but them sticks the wheels hangs on." A little girl who found country fare very appe- tising, said to her mother, Ma, we'd better go home. I eat so much here that if we stay a month I'm afraid I shan't live a week." A witty young fellow being joked about his sweetheart, who was much below the ordinary female stature, said, "Better to love a short girl than never to have loved at all." There they go," said a Chicagoan, pointing to a fashionable couple, recently married; "two souls with but a single thought—how to get rid of of each other! "-American paper. "We had short-cake for tea." said a little girl to a neighbour's boy to whom she was talking through the fence. "So did we," he answered-- very short; so short it didn't go round." A publican named his resort "Nowhere," so that when his married customers went home late, and their wives wanted to know where they'd been, they could safely tell them the truth. A restaurant keeper in Detroit hangs out a sign of free chops," and when the old vagabonds call "just to try 'em a bit, you know," he hands them an ax and has them shown out in the woodpile. A reporter on an Iowa paper says that a young lady from an interior county of that State lately went to Burlington and applied to a clergyman for the position of solferino" in the church choir. I The fact is," said a purse-proud landholder," no one should be eligible to office unless he has an independent property in real estate!" How many acres would it take to make a wiseacre asked a bystander. I'm afraid you'll be late at the party," said an an old lady to her stylish granddaughter, who re- plied, "Oh, you dear grandma, don't you know that in our fashionable set nobody ever goes to a party till everybody gets there?" A school inspector, in talking tc the infant class, used the word abridgement, and immediately explained, that. as some of them might not know the meaning of the word, he would say that it was a synonymn of the word epitome. A meddlesome old woman was sneering at a young mother's awkwardness with her infant, and said: "I declare'! a woman never ought to have a baby unless she knows how to hold it! Nor a tongue cíther," quietly responded the young mother. Said an artist to a censorious critic: "Why, according to you, my picture is all beastly. I suppose the animals in it are beastly, too!" Well, no; that's what they ought to be, but un- fortunatelv they're not," replied the inexorable critic. A little boy from the country went into market the other day with his city cousin, and seeing a pile of lobstersforthe first time, he looked at them attentively for a while, and then sighed forth: Well, if them ain't the biggest grasshoppers that I ever saw!" A Northern gentleman, while at Jacksonville, Fla., asked one of the natives in the neighbour- hood if he ever ate alligator. Wa-a-1," replied the Floridian, "I kin truly say I hev; but that war a time when alligator war plenty and table scrapins war skurse."—American Paper. A reporter with the Turkish army seeing a lot of men idling about as though they had nothing to do, asked an officer who they were. Oh," he said, shrugging his shoulders, they are cooks and paymasters; it's a long time since they had either provisions to cook or money to disburse." A Scotch witness, somewhat given to prevari- cation, was severely handled by a cross-examining counsel. How far is it between the two farms?" said the counsel. By the road it's twa mile." Yes, but on your oath, how far is it as the crow flies? "I dinnaken; I never was a crow." A CASE OF Necessity.—A negro being asked what he was in gaol for, said it was for borrowing money. "But," said the questioner, "they don't put people in gaol for borrowing money!" Yes," said the darkey, but I had to knock the man down free or fo' times before he would lend it to me." A Wroxo Letter.—A gentleman carried a letter of introduction from a friend to a stranger. The stranger received him coolly and showed him the door. A little investigation showed him the reason. The letter said, Treat him like a trum;" but the stranger read it, Treat him like a tramp." A beautiful English lady in Constantinople asked a high officer at the Court why the Turks continued the barbarous habit of polygamy, to which he, with a courteous bow, replied, Be- cause, madam, in our country we have to seek in several women the charming qualities which in your more favoured land may be found in one." A curiosity" dealer carried with him to the studio of an artist a picture which he had ju.t bought with the view7 of reselling to advantage. "I gave only 50 dols. for it," cried he, panting for breath. "Fifty dollars, eh? Well, that's about what it's worth." "Isn't it worth mo e? Not more than fifty dollars? Then Toe been robbed! An attorney, who was cross-examining a doctor, on a criminal trial, exclaimed, petulantly: "A doctor 81 ould he able to give his opinions without mistakes." He is as well able as a lawyer," re- torted the doctor. A doctor's mistakes are buried ,is feet under ground," said the lawyer. And a 'tswyer's are sometimes hung six feet about it," responded the doctor. A Rhode Island judge being challenged by a general in the State militia, the following dialogue -General: Did you receive my note, sir? —Judge: Yes, sir.—General: Well, do you intend to fight me?—Judge: No, sir.—General: Then, sir, I consider you a pitiful co Uh.'ht, sir; you knew that very well, or yon would never have challenged me.—American paper. She was over forty, and came to town to collect a legacy of two hundred pounds. Receiving a cheque for the amount, she went to the bank to have it cashed, and, being properly identified, the paying clerk asked her, How will vou take it, madam?" She smiled her hcavenliest, and m honeyed accents whispered, "Warm and two pieces of sugar, if you please."—Atii vican papa I Locomotion Extraordinary.—"Pull out, Liil. shrieked an engineer's son to a playmate, a brakesman's bov, who was in imminent danger of getting smashed by his mother, who was coming after him-. "Git on the main line, and give her Ht.ea.rn! Here comes the switch engine 1" But be- fore the juvenile could get in motion she had him uy the ear, and he was laid up with a hot box. .1 nicrican paper. A financier who seldom had any money, but always had a plenty of ingenuity, went into a always had a plenty of ingenuity, went into a I restaurant and called for two roast chickens, one of which he ate, and then calling the landlord he said: I've no money, andsolleave this chicken, wirchis mine, as a material guarantee for the payment of my dinner." The landlord thereupon seized his hat and said: "And I'll keep your hat to coop the chicken in." "Do you know that expensively dressed lady there?" said a young man to his friend, at a ball the other night, pointing, as he spoke, to an ex- ceedingly fashionable married belle. Yes, what about her? was the reply. That is the womau that our friend Colonel —— tried so hard to win for his wife. But he lost her, and now there is onlv one other person who is so miserable as the colonel is." "And who is that other person?" The lady's husband." Air. Edmund Oilier, author of Cassell's His- tory of the War between France and Germany," is now engaged in writing a History of the Russo- Turkisli War, which will shortly be published by Messrs. Cassell, Petter, and Gralpin, in serial form, with illustrations.
