Army Mortality by OIhoimo.
In connection with the subject of regi¬
mental losses there is the important there one
of losses by disease. In our army
were twice as many death* from disease
as from bullets. In the Confederate
army the loss from disease was, for ob¬
vious reasons, much less, being smaller
Hmn their loss in battle. This loss by
<h«kum was, la our northern regiments,
very unevenly distributed, running as low
aa thirty in some and exceeding 600 in
others, while in some of the colored regi-
mdftte it was still greater. There seems
to be an impression that the regiments
which suffered most in battle lost also
the most from disease. This is an error,
the direct opposite being the truth. The
report of the war department for I860
says, regarding this subject, that “It Is
to be noted that those states which show
large mortality ou the battlefield likewise
show large mortality by disease.” This
may be true of the state totals, but is
wholly incorrect as to the regiments
themselves; for, >■ ith but few exceptions,
the regiments e. Inch sustained the
heaviest Iom in I . tie show the smallest
number of • ■ratii.j from disease.
The infe. cnee is a fair one that the
fi ghting regiments owed their exemp¬
tion from disease to the same pluck
which made them famous, and which
enabled them to withstand its encroach¬
ments without tamely giving It up and
lying down under its attack. was a
question of mental as well as bodily
stamina, and hence there is found in
certain black regiments a mortality from
disease exceeding by far that of any
white troops, a fact which cannot be ac¬
counted for by cli: reasons, because
the particular regime..is referred to were
recruited from blacks who were born
and raised along the Mississippi, where where
these troops were stationed, and
the loss occurred.—-Col. William F. Fox
in The Century.
Reataurant Life In London.
Americans engaged in making tho
grand European tour can^ never under¬
stand one tea 1 e of restaurant life in
London. If yi ■. ippen to bea bachelor,
and therefore di, dent on chop houses
for meals, as the hotels rarely provide
for the inner man, you will probably
look around for a comfortable place
where you can get acquainted and take
all your meads. That is the great error
into which all travelers fall.
In London you want to select three
different chop houses, one for breakfast,
dinner and supper, or is you wish to be
English sans reproche, you must have
another for the evening lunch about 11
o’clock. These houses all make a speci¬
alty of one meal, and while you may be
supplied with enough to dull your appe¬
tite at other houses, you will only get
perfect service at the one table for which
the house has made a reputation. Then,
for example, take a dinner chop house:
You take a seat, order a piece of roast
beef and have the whole roast wheeled
out in front of your table while the waiter
slices off a juicy morsel that would tempt
an anchorite in Lent. When you come
to understand these things you can live
with greater satisfaction on $5 a day
than an American could on double that
amount at home. Tips are nothing, as a
penny apiece is enough to satisfy ordinary
waiter#.—Globe Democrat.
Tlie Women of Morocco.
In the cities throughout Morocco I
found it Impossible to get more than a
passing view of a woman’s face, so jeal¬
ously are they veiled and guarded, and
especially among the higher classes,
whore the women, possessing no more
intelligence than a child, are taught that
all men but their lords and owners are
fiends. Occasionally, however, by acci¬
dent or design, the face covering would
be dropped for an instant just as a wo¬
man passed me, and at the same time an
arm and shoulder would be presented to
my gaze. The women of Morocco are of
all shades and colors, and I must say
that some of tho handsomest women I
ever saw, both in feature and form, were
full blooded negresaes.
Another surprise was to notice that
many of tho Moorish beauties would
show a snowy rounded arm and a clear
pink and white skin that the most beau¬
tiful woman in Boston would have been
glad to possess, but where they got this
skin and complexion I could never find
out, for the men, perhaps, from their
constant exposure to the sun, are tanned
and blackened almost to the color of the
negroes. In the country all is different,
and ljttle attempt is made by the women
to be stingy with their charms, unless
from some religious motives, and to this
freedom of the country many a poor
simple girl owes her position as prime
favorite in the harem of some Moorish
dignitary, who saw her perfections while
traveling by her fathers tent or hut.—

Ceylon*. Talma and Cocoannt Trees.
This low land up at the northern neck
of the island is largely planted in Pal¬
myra palms. For 120 miles along the
western and southwestern shore it is a
fringe from one to seven miles deep of
cocoanut trees. These two kinds of trees
support the bulk of the native population.
They furnish the material from which
they build and roof their huts. The sap
gives them their sugar and their intoxi-
oants. The green nut is their milk and
the ripe nut much of their 6olid food.
From the bark and leaves they make
sheds, fans and matting; from the fiber,
sails, cordage, fishing nets, etc. The
young leaves are their salads. The ripe
fruit gives them oil for tbeir lamps, for
their hair and for cooking purposes. They
wear for clothing the net woven by
nature about the foot stalks of the leaves;
plait hats, and sunshades, and baskets
from the fronds, and drink from the cup;
sail in boats constructed of the hard, old
wood, and when sick make medicine
from the llowers. The uses of the palm
are said to run into several hundreds, and
are the themes of innumerable native
poems.—Carter Harrison in Chicago
Times.
The Mediterranean Sponge Fishery.
Science has claimed the sponge fishery

The Language# of Bird#.
Shall we never master the language#
of beasts, as even the parrot and the star-
ling will in their own automatic way
master portions of ours? To a certain
extent this has been accomplished. A
hunter tries to imitate by his “calf* the
cries of the animals he is luring to their
destruction, and is often successful in an
exact ratio to his skill in this rough ac¬
quaintance with the speech of the lower
animals. Mr. Henderson, an American
“gunner, ” has managed to set the cries
of some of the gaipe birds in musical
notation, and finds that they are quite as
uniform as are the same words spoken
by different persons. They have their
songs of love as well as exclamations of
fear and defiance. The quail has one
set of notes when it is “a proud, happy,
and affectionate father,” and another
when in the autumn he is sounding the
“assembly” in order to tell the scattered
birds of the chosen rendezvous for the
covey. Every other bird has, in like
manner, language suitable for different
occasions, and the clever sportsman can
often easily wile the birds within range.
Some songs, like some human Lan¬
guages, are more difficult than others.
The spotted sandpiper’s is much easier
than that of the yellow leg, while the
English snipe is a moody bird, which
speaks only in its unmusical squeak into
when it is startled, and springs
flight Hence a musician The can readily
write it down. eong birds—the
robins, the thrush, the nightingales, and
so forth—have, however, a far more
complicated tongue, and Mr. Cheney,
who has reported some of their melodies,
finds the task by no means simple. Some
of these songs are stereotyped, but on
more than one occasion the songsters
have been noticed to extemporize when
the mood took them. For example,
the song often varies before and after
rain, in spring and autumn; while one of
the redbreast’s songs is to the same tune
as that to which the spuming girls sang
fifty years ago while reeling their yam.

Spearing Sucker* In the Mud.
Spearing suckers by torchlight is a
sport much practiced on the western
bank of the Passuio river for a distance
of several miles. Every night the torches
can be seen flashing along shore a a far as
the eye can reach, and the effect is pecu¬
liar and very pleasing. The fish always
lie close in shore at night, and os they
are of o sluggish nature, and can be
quite easily seel? by the aid of the torches,
some of the more skillful oarsmen secure
a large number will in a short time. Some
nights there be an almost continuous
line of torches for the distance of a mile.
Spearing suckers is the tamest and most
stupid manner of taking fish, still fishing
with angle worms ranking next, and is
regarded by sportsmen as being about on
a par with pot hunting for game; the
highest form is casting fov trout, ba3s or
other game fish.—Paterson Guardian.
