The most sentimental a bandy-legged, pot-bellied, villian, without a particle of the gentleman in him. Other animals, especially the antelapes, are graceful, and it is pleasant to see them either at rest or in motion; the natives, also are well-made, lithe, comely to behold; but the soko, if large, would do well to stand for a picture of the devil, He takes away my appetite by his disgusting beastiality of ap- pearance. Mis light yellow face shows off his ugly whisker, and faint apology fora beard ; the forehead villianously low, with ears, is well in the background of he great dog mouth ; the teeth are slightly human, but the canines show the beast by their large develop- ment. The hands, or rather the fingers, are like those cf the natives, The flesh of the feet is yellow, and the eagerness with which the Manyuema devour «t, leaves the impres- sion that cating sokos was the first stage by which they arrived at being cannibals. They say the flesh is delicious. The soko is repre- sented by some to be extremely knowing, sucecessfuly stalking men and women while at their work, kidnapping children and running up trees with them—he seems lo be amused by the sight of the young natives in his arms —but comes down when tempted by a bunch of bananas, and as he lifts that, drops the child. The young soko in such a case would cling closely to the arm-pits of the elder. One man was cutling out honey from a tree, and naked, when a soko suddeniy appeared and caught him; then le’ him go. Another man was hunting and missed his attempt to stab a soko. It seized the spear and broke it, and then grappled with the man, who called to his companions, ‘Soko has caught me.’ Then soko bit off the ends of his fingers and eseaped unharme..

A Substitute for Ink.—A good substitute for ink is thus made :—Puta couple of rusty nails iuto a spoonful of vinegar, in half an hour add aspoonful of very strong tea. To Polish Tins.—First rub them with a damp cloth, then take dry flour and rub it on with your hanes, afterwards take an old newspaper and rub the flour off, and the tins will shine as bright as ifan hour had been spent in rubbing them with brick dust, which spoils the hands, Starch.—To make starch from potatoes, peal and grate them into a basin of cold water, Let stand one night; stir up and strain through a coarse cloth; Jet the water settle, then pour it off, and the starch will be found in the bottom of the basin; dry it, and it will be ready for use. Croup.—Croup, writes a correspondent, can be cured in one minute, aud the remedy is simply alum and sugar. The way to acs complish the deed is to take a knife or grater and shave off in small particles about a teaspoonful of alum, then mix it with twice its quantity of sugar, to make it palatable, and administer it as quickly as possible, Worth Knowing. — Death by lockjaw, caused by the wound of arusty nail, is so common a malady that we are glad to re- commend a simple remedy; it is to smoke such wound or bruise that is inflamed, with burning wood or woolen cloth. Twenty minutes in the smoke of wool will take the pain out of the worst kind of inflammation, arising from a wound, we ever saw. People may sneer at the ‘old woman’s remedy’ as much as they please, but when they are aillicted just let them try it. It has saved many lives and much pain, and is worthy cf being printed in letters of god and put in every home. Taking Cold.—One way is to bundie up in furs, or mufflers, tight about the neck: take a brisk walk, gointoa warm room—church, lecturesroom or concert—sit with your things all on, get warm, perspire freely, breathe viltiated air for an hour or two, and when thoroughly relaxed, the pores of the skin al] open, go out into the cold damp air, and you will soon begin to shiver. After having a chill, send for the doctor, and he will dose you with something hot; then go to bed; then, if Jeft alone long enongh, you may get upina day or two,and in a fortnizht or s9 you may repeat the imprudence. We don’t believe in furs, close, unventilated, over- heated rooms, nor in stupid carelessness generally. There are several other ways to take cold. We will mention but one, and that is to over eat. Stuff the stomach with improper food, more than it can to digest,and you will soon Jind yourself ‘all clogged up’ with a cold. You will cough or sneeze, blow your nose, and §wonder how in all the world you took such a cold.—Science of Health. ; remo. | Ol | Fish Culturists’ during which the barber removes a slice of one * . , a | ro Cure a Felon The London suggests the followjnue cimple treatment for | t folons «AS anny a tea seas s felt, gut directly Over the spot a fly-blister, about the sizeof the thumh nai!, and let it remain for six hours, at the expiration of which time, directly under the surface of the blister, may be seen the felon. which can instantly be taken OUL With the point of a neetile or a lancet.

Co A REPRESENTATIVE AND CHAM PION CF AMERICAN ART TASTE! Prospectus for 1875, Eighth Year. | THE ALDINE, THE ART JOURNAL OF AMERICA, IssuED MonrumLy. “A Magnificent Conception, wonderfully carried out,” The necessity of a popular medium for the represeutation of the productions of our great artist, has always been recognized, and many attempts have been made to meet the want, i f fe be The successive failures which so invari followed each attempt in this country to establish an art journai, did not prove the i- difference of the people of America to the claims of high art. soon a8 & proper ap iation of the want and an ability to mest it were shown, the public at once rallied with enthusiasm to its support, and the result was . ak oe and commercial! triumph—TMB THE ALDINE, while issued with all regu- larity, has none of the temporary or timely interest characteristic of ordinary periodicais, It isan elegant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful literature; anda collection of tures, the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in black and white. Although each succesd> ing number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, and the real value and beauty of the ALDINE will! be most appreciated after it is poe 2s the close ef the year. While other publications may claim superior ness, as compared with stone af a sinalloe class, THE ALDINE is @ unique and original conception—alone and unapprosched—ab- solutely without competition in priee or character. The prossessor of a com volume can not duplicate the fae paper and engravings in any other shape or number of volumes for ten times its cost; and then, there is the chromo besides! The national features of THE ALDIYB must be taken in no narrow sense. True are its cosmopolitan. While THK ALDINE is a strictly American institution, it does not confine itself entirely to the reproduction of native art. Its mission is to cultivate s broad and appreciative art taste, one thet will discriminate only on grounds of intrinsic merit, Thus, while placing before the pat- rons of THE ALDINE, as a leading charac- teristic, the productions of the most noted American artists, attention will always be given to specimens from foreign masters giving subscribers all the pleasure and in- structicn obtainable from home or foreign sources, The artistic illusration of American scea- ery, original with THE ALDINE is an ims gen feature, and its magnificent plates are ofasize more a te tc the ony treatmemt of Is than can allo by any inferior page. The judicious interspersion of landscape, marine, figure, and anima! subjects, sustain an unabated ia- terest, impossible where the of the work confines the artist toe closly to a single style of subject. The literature of THE ALDI is a light and graceful accompaniement, worthy of the artistic features, wuhealy such technical dispositions as do not iaterfere with the popular interest of the work. PREMIUM FOR 1875. Every subscriber for 1875 will receive beautiful portrait, in oil colors, of the same noble dog whose picturein a former issue attracted so much attention. “MAN’S UNSELFISH PRIEND ” will be welcome in every home.
