These oc- " IMeiipv several oases in that part of the IRBdesert which is bounded on the south libv the river Senegal, and on tlie west Bhv the Atlantic Ocean. The principal Æ forests of gum trees are those called »Sahel, K1 Fntack and K1 Hiebar. The »first produces the vereck or white gum, »which is held in highest estimation; ■the others yield nebuel, the red gum of «commerce. The acacia which crows .«in the desert is of more stunted form pBand rugged appearance than that ■Hwhich flourishes by the river side, for sMtlie banks of tlie Senegal aro partial!v '«covered with a stratum of vegetable ;|«rarlli, where foliage abounds, but the qHgum trees of these places are not liu Äierous. In the desert the acacia scl .{«tiom exceeds twenty feet in height and V| thtee in circumference, and it has that fugged and crooked form which is .if common to the herbage of this arid re Ig çion, where the great drouth and parch iÇ ng winds give a blighted and stunted :f?i ippearance to all 'vegetable produc ij lions. The branches of the gum tree are thorny and the projections of tho .J leaves, which are of a dirty green hue. 3 The blossoms are short and of a white color. In \V pst n Africa there, are I only two seasons in the year—the dry and the rainy. Tho duration of the m rains slightly varies according to the platitude, I ici of longest continuance t iear the Equator, in Senegambia they ast about two months, which are pre ceded and followed by a month of tor nadoes. During eight month of the fear tho sun shines brilliantly in a cloudless atmosphere. October may 3C termed the dry month, a period 'ruitful in productions of the soil and irolifie of fevers and other dangerous liseases, since the atmosphere is then [lied with miasma from decomposed Vegetable matter. At this time tho fum trees swell with moisture and pro )are for their harvest season. In No rember the bark, which had bpen miooth and of a dark green color, lie fins to crack in numberless places and five out the gum. No help of man is cquired to make incisions in the stem, or nature performs the whole work. The hot wind of tho desert begins to flow, drying up everything with such ■everity that no vegetable matter «'esist its influence. ' The tall grass of T^Bhe plains now withers and becomes a«>ko straw, trees on the high grounds on a wintry appearance, and would J«oon burn liko iire-xvood, and household aB irnitnre warps and cracks, so that Bowen will not shut nor boxes lock. ^Bvcn hard and well seasoned wood a*an not wholly resist the scorching in vjHuonces of tho harmattan.

Here they form an encamp- j ment, in which they remain about six weeks while gathering the gum. Old and young engage in the work, stimu lated by the chiefs and princes, who overlook their labor. The gum is piled up in heaps until the whole is collected, when it is loaded on cattle brought for purpose. The beasts of burden of of this are tlie camel and ox. The gum is stored in large leathern sacks made of tanned ox hides, two of which are fas tened together and slung over the backs of the cattle so as to balance. The work proceeds slowly as there is tio fear of rain to inierrupt it, and African« seldom hurry in the perform ance of their tasks. Their field ope rations occupy but a short period of the year and time is of little value in their eyes. At. length the harvest is completed and the day for moving ar rives. When he signal for departure has been given the tents are struck, the cattle are laden with baggage and merchandise and the whole multitude set off in the same tumultuous manner as that in which they arrived. The princes and rich men are mounted on beautiful horses or fleet dromedaries, gaily caparisoned. Their wives are seated on the best camels in a kind of basket covered with an awning, decked out with gorgeous colors. Cattle and goats necessary for provision by tlie way are mixed up with the beasts of burden and crowds of foot passengers, liHing the air with a variety of discord ant sounds, • A choice band of armed her and mo to men ant as cavalry and mounted po lice to defend tho caravan and pre serve some kind of order among them. In this manner the'caravan proceeds t<> the annual gum fair, held on the hanks of the Senegal, a considerable distance above Fori Louis, which is the principal settlement of the French on this river. This people commenced trading operations with Western Africa in about the beginning of the last cen tury and established themselves on the Senegal. St. Louis is a small island about four leagues above the bar at the mouth of the river. 'This bar or ridge of sand is a formidable obstruction to navigation, as it allows only small ' vessels to pass with safe ty. Once across this danger ous reef small craft can easily sail to Fedor, about one hundred and eigtliy miles up the stream, and in the rainy season io Golam, which is live or six hundred miles higher. Here the French merchants await the arrival of the Moorish tribe. The din of their ap proach can be heard at a great distance over the dreary solitude. The noise grows louder and louder till at im ■nso cloud of dust betokens their arrival. And soon the barren plain is covered with men and beasts in teeming crowds, which it requires a long time to settle in anything like an orderly manner. At length, when all things are ready, a cannon is fired as the signal for commencing business, ami Franks and Moors try every arti fice to make a good bargain. The Moorish l'rinces fabricate all kinds of To of : near excuses* for raising the price of the gum, and invent a hundred reasons for delaying the negotiations. The pro crastination and apparent apathy mad den their more lively customers, who are sometimes obliged to yield under a threat of the gum being carried to Por tende (a small settlement, on the coast. j little above the Senegal) ami sold to ; tho FLijjliKh. Tlie French, in their | turn, try to overreach the Moors, " liieh they often do by enlarging tlie size of the kantar or measure by which the gum is sold. The Africans do not understand the principles of mensura tion. ami their customers have gradu ally increased the kantar from live hundred to two thousand pounds. The price of the gum is paid in pieces of Indian cotton cloth, or blue baft, which meets with a ready sale to tho tribes of the Interior. The merchants have tried chandise and the price which it will bring in the European market, but do not know tlie cost price of tlie goods which they receive in exchange. For instance, when they barter gold for iron, they may insist upon having the mint price for the precious metal, but they are duped by the European, who estimates his iron at four times its value, and thus obtains the gold at a fourth of its real worth. In this way gum I has been purchased in Africa as low as four cents a pound, while it has sold m Europe for thirty and thirty-live cents .—Brooklyn Kiujk. to substitute articles of French manu facture for this Eastern cloth ; but the Moors can not be tricked in this re spect, as they instantly detect a spuri ous from a «Termine article by the smell.

States during recent years is quite ; amazing. One is inclined to doubt j whether the figures given can possibly j nes , , ,, . ,, ; be correct; but they are officially j hc authenticated. Statistics show that in 1865 tho number of insane people in the j tho States was 24,042, a small percentage, In live years tho number reached 37, 432, and in 18,8(1 the figures had grown to the surprising total of 91,959. In all probability the authorities have had until lately a careless system of investi gation, and many lunatics have es caped enumeration. Even allowing a liberal margin for this, however, there seems reason to believe that insanity has claimed and is claiming an increas ing number of victims. The race of life is run at a greater pace than it was, and the pressure is greater in conse quence. Many organizations give way under the strain. It is said that the increase has been most rapid in tlie Western States, but no reason is sug gested, and it would he deeply inter estlng to know why, for tlie causes which are in force there are doubtless few in force elsewhere. Tho increase in insanity during the ten years from 1870 to 1880 was nearly 150 per cent., it is stated. From 1865 it. is still greater, and, though this is far from a subject for jest, it may bo wondered whether, if the proportion is maintained, it will not soon be necessary to calculate the small percentage of inhabitants of the Western States who retain their sanity. —London Standard.

Etc. As a skirt of some black fabric, either silk or mohair, is necessary un be thought indispensable in most cos tunies. In that case the thin wool skirt may be made almost as full as a house-maid skirt, and very nearly round; the back will consist of a full straight breadth of the double-width goods, and each side of this is sewed a half breadth, which is straight at the front, but sloped narrower at the top in the back; between these is the front breadth, as wide as those on the side, but sloped on each side toward the top. The front of such a skirt may be sim ply hemmed, but is made stronger bv a facing, and on the outside is set a foot leating. Folds of the material cut ias or else tucks three inches deep ex tond around the skirt, the lowest drop ping on and concealing the heading of the foot-pleating. It is a matter of in- j dividual taste how far up the trimming niay extend, but half-wav to the belt of j is a plan becoming to both short and j tail figures, while above in front there | may be an apron of many cross wrin 1 hies, and at the back is a sash drapery made by forming two deep loops and I two long ends of strips of the material is I cut in two lengthwise and hemmed all j around. For a more dressy skirt the folds or tucks may be only a few in number around the skirt, but extended j to the belt on the left side. The very: it deep over-skirt is then caught up to, the hip on the left to show the panel of «rimming, and this over-skirt should ; also be bordered with two or three tucks or folds. Forthose who prefer it lengthwise trimmings three wide box pleat» like panels should form front and sides, or else only one side ma - v hav,i a panel of doubled pleats, and the drapery may begin very lowon that side and curve up to tho hips oppo site- The back breadths are then full and straight, with the sash drapery already noted. These unlined skirts are liked for their lightness and for their econo my—two things to be commended, as mourning dress is both heavy and costly. For the waist l.nmg of such dresses the twilled silk serges at one dollar a yard are pleasant and durable, but for these who can not afford sueh luxurious linings there are excellent silesias of very light weight, as glossy as sateen, and which are black on one side and white on the other, therefore there is no crocking on the under waist, as is the case with the all-black cotton lining, Tor grenadine dresses the plain sow ing-silk grenadines are used over black »Hk linings, making an expensive ' dress, and one that Is not very service- '■ able, as the fabric frays in the scams, and the threads draw and slip. The armure grenadines with diaper figures are more serviceable, and the old-time canvas grenadines have again come into fashion on account of their square meshes. Pleated flounces that have first been tucked are used to trim the a , front and sides of grenadines; above those is a fan over-skirt in lengthwise pleats, or else a short apron or crossed scarfs, while the back of the silk fonn dation skirt is covered from the belt to t,KI foot by long breadths of the grena l) ine hemmed on three sides, tucked across the foot, and made bouffant, at top by pleats taken on each side and in a single luster in the middle. The i shirred basque is liked for grenadino waists, as it needs no tr aiming other than a series of small folds laid around t^ e high collar, with a tucked and pleated frill ou the sleeves, headed by similar folds. For slender ligures the shirring is in the back and iront alike at the neck and at tho waist line, while those who arestoutor round-shouldered this fullness only in front, Another fashion is that of pleating the fullness on the shoulders in front and >n smaller pleats at tlie waist line, this loaves a V-shapsd plastron, "'hich may ho covered with jetted net or ' acn or with rows of dull jet galloou. — Harper's Ilazar.

The Practiee Permi.,, Ihle Under Excep tional Circumstance,. Is the shoeing of horses necessary? Undoubtedly it i3, under certain cir cumstances, as for instance with horses I I used constantly on granite pavements : in tho cities, or on macadamized or \ gravel roads. But horses that are not in constant uso upon such streets, we i believe are better not shod at, all, than j shod as they are now. To shoe farm horses and keep them j shod as is often done, seems to us to be tho height of folly. To put heavy j shoes on a colt as soon as he is put into j tho harness is to take the steps neces- ! sarv to prevent his feet from becoming i toughened. Of course if put to work i on tho road aud kept there barefooted, ho will get foot sore; but if gradually L worked in, his feet will become accus- 1 tomed even to the hard road and sutler 0 no inconvenience from constant work on it. A horse with naturally defect ivo feet must be shod, just äs a child having weak ankles must wear ankle braces; but to say that horses generativ should wear shoes is about as sensible as to say all children ought to ankle braces. The only reasonable excuse for shoe ing country horses at all is to prevent their slipping in the winter. If a horse has been accustomed to go without shoes he will be found much less liable to slip on ity ground than one that has always worn shoes. There are times i when the ground is so covered with ice I and sleet that a horse could not stand if unshod, but tho time lost by allow- I ing horses to remain idle at such times I would not be much worse than that Dr. lost by getting horses calked from he- !}'■ ing rough shod. When it is necessary to shoe a horse, instead ot putting on Un» tho oii8tomarv heavy shoe with long, sharp toe and heefcalks, it would bo mueh hotter if a much lighter one be used, having only a small toe calk to assist the horse in holding his footing while drawing a lead. A fortune awaits the inventor who will devise a horse shoe from somo tough but flexi ble material, and which can be easily attached or removed from the foot as desired. Much of the injury dono to horses' feet by the ordinary shoe is due to allowing it to remain on too long, the horse owner forgetting that tho hoof is always growing, ami the rim of being bound by the inflexible iron band the hoof can not grow in the proper ihape.— Rural World. i 1 wear its the 422 the 989 of when and ury. was blood; has ,,h oso it '--A child that is taught to observe and to think is educated.
