The vigor ami eiiuality of the ciroulaciou, the fucottohs of (be skin. and the aeration of tlie blood, are all pro- moted by mascalar activity, which thus keeps up a proper bilatico and relation between ibe important organs cf the boiy. In youth, the vi({or of the svateni 13 often great that if one organ be 8lafj'.!ish another part will make amcuds for the defi- ciency by acting vioarioualy, and without any constijuent damajie to itself. In old afje, the iaska cannot ba thus ahifted frotn one organ to another ; the work allotte I to each Bufiiciently taxes ita gtrtii^^th, and vicarioaB action cannot be performed without tnii^chief. Hence the importance of maintaining as far as possible, the equable action of all the bodily organs, ao that the share of the vital pro- oesaes ansigned to each shall ba properly accomplished. For this reason exercise ia •n important part of the conduct of lite in •Id age ; bat dissretion is absolutely neces- aary. An old man should discover by e.\- perienoe how much exercise he can take withoat exhausting his powers, and should be careful never to exceed the limit. Old persons are apt to forget that their staying powers are much less than they ouce were and that, while a walk of two or threemilea may prove easiy and pleasurable, the addi- tion of a return journey of similar length will seriously overtax the strength. The Doctor Was There. The curtain bad risen on the last aot of the play and the diabolical plot of the villain was about to be exposed in all its hideousneas, says the Chicago Tribune. Suddenly there was a oommotion near the entrance and a voice called out breath- leaaly : " la Dr. Kallowmell in the audience ?" With the grave, preoccupied manner of a man on whose skill the life of some fellow creature might depend, the doctor arose from his seat near the stage and passed slowly down the aisle. " What ia it ','" he asked. " Doctor," said tLe breathless aa he drew from his broaat pocket a of folded documents, " I'm Spotoaah A Co'a. new oollcctcT. Would it be convenient for yOQ to settle that little bill this evening ?" Near a tVhoIe Cltyfnll Nona. The story of Mary Mullina, the yoting mother, who was turned oat on the street with her two children, and whose baby died in her arms while abe was sitting on a iooratep, ia a pitiful one in many ways The young woman bad been apparently deaerted by her hiuband, and her frien<iri had advised her to put her children in a charitable institution. But she could not bring herself to part with the little ones, and being feeble after a long iUneas she became unable to work for them. Her baby being sick she took it to a hospital, where she was told that it had bronchitis, but that it waa against the rules to take it in, though the poor mother explained her helplesbuesa and lack ol shelter for it. It waa against ibe rules to take in a aick baby, which wjs morally certain to die if subjected to further exposure, and which would be BO exposed, becauae the mother waa homelees and aesuiate. But it waa not ugainat the rules for this homeless creature to crouch all through a cold night on the doorsteps of a house, audi her baby died on her bosom, i'hen, however, the "rules" came into piay again. The sergeant at the police station where she went "could do nothing (or her." She must go 10 the morgu?, and, being penni- less, muut walk there, carrying her dead baby, after a night in the streets. At the mjrgue the "rules" again con- fronted her. Xhey could not receive the little body without a permit from the coro- ner, and the ooroner could not je found ; tso the wretched '^oman had to viait another police station, and there, after being at last allowed to surrender the dead baby at the morgue, the beet the police could do for her waa to lock her up. Apparently it is againat the " rules " to be ilestitute, to be homeless, to be' bereaved. The cruelest blow that can fall on a mother is, according to thd " rules," only a reason for treating that mother as a criminal. Even tboagb nu charge whatever can be brought against her. she must be dragged before a police justice with the rnfiiatiry of the night, and may count herself lucky it aba is diacharged abd permitted to take Cer grief, miatryaud inditeuoa back into the streets that offer her neither foo.!, sheiter, nor consolation. That this should bj possible in one of the most charitable anci lei^der- hearted com- munities is, to say the least, strange, but it ia not leds tvidcnt that red tape is largely accountable for it. T'n.is baby's life should have been saved. The hospital Burgeon who declared it agaitet the roles to take the infant in, no matter what the alterna. tive, should have aseutned the responsibi- lity of overriding all rules in such a case. The police sergeant, the morgue keeper and the coroner are doubilcaa tn'ially aheltered by their regulatior.s ; but is there not room for ameudcncnt in rules which produce results of this kind '.' 0( coarse it may bo said that Mary Mtill'.ns was to bUtne for not putting her children iu an asylum. But for the crerit of human nature there are mothers who cling to their babies with a passionate affection, and syatema and institutioLs which make no provis on for such cases art dtfective.

COCOAMUT FIBBB Alj ARMOB. Tbla Waste Product Develops Great BeBtaUtiice to Bullets. A posaible use to which coooanat fiber may be appliea in the future is to form backing aabatance for the iron platea of men-of-war vessels. The fiber is first powdered and then, before it ia quite dry, snbjected to pressure, when the natural viacidity of the cellular substance of the nut causes it to cohere and form a plate mach like millboard In appearance, but a great deal more brittle, says the London Court Journal. If a hole is made in thia material, and then water be applied to the portion adjacent to the puncture, it imme- diately swells to snch an extent as to till the hole. Experiments with bullets varying from one- half to three quarters of ao inch in diameter have been made upon a plate of tbia material 18 inches aqnare by three quarteraof an inch thick, and with very satisfactory reaalts. Whether, however, the subaianoe wonld really prove efficacious as regards cannon shot has not yet been tried. Should is prove of use iu such cases, it could bo supplied in large quantities, for miUiona of tons of cucoanat fiber are annually allowed to go to waste iu India for want of use.

Great Britain it^nAa facile princeps among the nations. The'British flag lloatsovcr one-eighth of the habitable globe ; our Queen rtUes over one- aiith o( the world's population ; and our country enjoys one-third of the world's trade. Canada has an area equal to that of Europe without Spain, and comes fourth on the world's list of sbipowning nations, Australia is about four fifths the size of Europe, and contains the elenienta of an almost fabnlons wealth. Sjuth Africa, with an area almost as lar^e as Aaatro- Hungary, or nearly four times that of Eng- land, haa so fertile a soil and 30 excellent a climate that, altboagh ita progress haa been slower than that of the other great colonies, its future will entitle it to rank as fourth only in importance to ouraelvee. India is aa large as the whole of Europe if we omit Russia, and contains a much larger popu- lation, amongst which order ii easily maiii- tained ; for while at home one policeman is required for every Oiij pcracne. iu India only one policeman is needed for every l.'2C0 people. Thua Icdia, with ita ouo and a halt iiulliocs of acjuare miles and ita two hnndred and fifty millions of inhati tants, must be regarded sa an empire in itself. These magnificent pceseasione. together with some sixty sinji'.Ier territories lying on the scattered fringi? of many oceans, irresistibly led t;a to ssee that the b^aat of the brave Spanish aoldier. that the sun nev-r seta on the immecee empire of Charles V . receives in most forcible appli- cation when applied to the dominions cf our beloved Queen. The powerful world kingdoms of Assyria and Persia fade into insignidcance as compared with the British dominions. The impriut of Kome'a Em- pire ia indelibly lixed on all the most civilized nations of Europe. The domiiiiors of Rome extend from the Straits of Uibral tar to the Euphrati s. from the mountains of Caledonia, the b*nk>i of thd Rhino atjd the Danube, tn the border cf the great African desert and to the first cataracts cf the Nile. Bat the British domicions exceed fourfold thcsf) of anciert Ron;o. Tboy to- day exxed bv an eighth the vast territories of all the Rassiaa. France ia a great country, boasting colonial poesesfiioue. but the British poxsessions are sixteen times larger than ihoi-e of FratJC^?, and forty times as exteni-ive an the powerful dominiona of I'nited Germany, and nearly three times the 31.0 cf the I'nited States. These facts enable ui to appreciate the elcqaent words, of I'aidrl Webster, and to See in the British dominion, " a power to which, for purposes cf foreign ^:onqucet and subjugation, RjliC. iu the height cf her glory, is not to ba compared ; a power which has dotted over the surface of the whole globe with her posses.iiona and military pcs'^a. whose morning drum beat, following the sun and keeping company with the hcu: 3, circles the earth with one oonliiinoua and unbroken strain of the martial airs of England. " With ao vast an otnpire occasional local wara are inevitable. But never in the history of the world have the blessings of peace been preserved ever so wide an area as the lands over which the sceptre of our Queen exer- cises beneficent sway.â€" K'c»fmi;iiifer Reiirw.

He never smokes a cigar that is given him, and thia ia why he escaped diaaater himself, but he made an enemy. The other day an advertiser gave him a cigar. Ho filed it away in his vest pocket with the atereotyped re- mark: " 1 il smoke thia after ainner." When he reached the office he met a reporter who had on several occasions "joshed" him. Here waa a chance for him to get even. He had sized the cigar up as a bad one, and he gave it to the scribe, expecting him to light it at unce. Instead of doing sj he put it m hia pccket and ai>id : " 'ihanks, old man. 111 smoke thia after dinner. ' About an hour later the reporter met an editor. He thought of the cigar, and ssUed the editor if he would smoke. The eaitor tojk the weed, thanked the reporter ami aaid he would amoke it after dinner. The editor did not meet any- one wko amoked before he went home, and after dinner he aat out on his front porch and lie the cigar. In about three miuutea it exploded. A man who lived across the street thought the editor was shooting at him. The editor ia mad. Part of his mus- tache was BiD(iea off. The next morning be naileil the tupcrtcr to the croee. The reporter declared that hu did not know it was loaded, bet the editor did not del;e-ve him. Then the rej,orier ihreatuced to lick the small advertising man on sight.

The Armenians coald be aavcd if the European naticcs would only compel Turkey to observe article 1)3 of the Treaiy of Berlin, by which the Turkish Governineut is bound to protect ih-jm.
