blocks were rolled out on the sands, they
began 10 handle il to see what it was. II
was laughable TO see every one jerk back
his hand and declare that it burnt him.
The sensation produced by cold was uh-
known to them, and they ascribed the
unpleasant feeling to the opposite cause,
heat. When the properties of ice be-
came known TO them, theySsOon got &C.

PoTAToEs.-The town of Montdider,
in the Department Of Somme, in Flance
is about erecting a bronze statue in hons
or of the philosopher and hilanthropisi,
Parmentier, who introduced into France
the culture ofpotatoes. 1t was TO him
and in reference TO his introduction of
the potato that Louis the 18th, once said /:
"France one day will thank you for hav.
ing found bread for the poor"
The subscription for the statue is head.
ed by Louis Philippe, and is circulating
throughout France.
This reference TO Parmenl:er, recalls
the name OF the celebrated American
Benjamin Thompson, better known as
Count Rumfold, Who introduced the po-
tato into Bavaria, towards the close of
the last censnry, not far, if we mistake
not, from 1890. For this and other i'm &.
portant services at Munich, whittier he
had been invited by the Elector of Bava-
ria, he was created by thatPrince, account
Of the Empire, selecting for his title the
name of the town of Rumford, now Con-
cord N. H., where he had in early life
been employed as a.ieacher. He was
born at Waburn, Mass, in 1888; and
died at Antreuil, in France, in 1914.

QUEER CALCULATIONS singular

Ihave been married 80 years, during
which time l haye received from the

each day, two in The morning and one at
night, making 35,040 cups Of half pint
each, or nearly 20 barrels of 80 gallons
each, weighing 1880 lbs, or nearly 6
tons weight. Yet for that period | have
scarcely varied myself in weight from
l6Olbs. 1t will therefore be seen that |
have drank in coffee alone 24S times my
Own weight. lam not muchof meat

about s ounces day, which makes S.
6O9lbs., or about ten oxen. Of -four l
have consumed in the 80 years about so
barrels. For 90 years of this time up

ofbrandy each day making 900 quarts

not large. In champagne | have been
extremely moderate, as find from nv
bills that have paid for SO baskets lin tho

When we take into the accouns al the
vegetables in addition, such as potatoes,
peas, asparagus strawberries, cherries ap.
pies, pears, peaches, raisins, &c, the
amount consumed by an Individuals most
enormous. Now my body has been re. +.
newed more than4 times in the 80 years.
and taking it for granted that the water
Of which have drank much, acts mere.

THE SPIDER,

BY WIN. e. CHANNING.
Habitant of castle gray,
Creeping thing in sober way,
Visible sage mechanician,
Skillfullest arithmetic.
Aged animal at birth,
Without joy or idle mirth,
Clothed in famous tunic old,
Vestments black, of many fold,
Spotted nightly with gold;
Weaving, spinning ia thu sun
Since the world its course has run;
Creation beautiful in art,
OF Gods providence part,-
What If none will look at thee,
Signing for the h uinming bee,
Or great moth with heav emily wings,
Or the nightingale who sings?-
Curious spider, thou'rt to me
ofG nigh ty family.
Tender ofa mystic loom,
Weaving in my silentroou
Canopy, that happily vies
With the mortal fabric wise;
Adam wOnde red at thy skill,
And thy persevereing will,
That cOntinueth to spin,
Caring nOta yellow pin,
For the mortaPs dire confusion;
Sadder in profound conclusion
Than astronomer at night
When he brings new worlds to>Igbt
Heavenhas furnished thee with tools,
Such as ne'er hea p of fools
Have by diat of sweat and pain
Made for use, and made in ain.
When mild brsezes hither str aging,
Sweetest music kindly playing
Raise on high the W Whispering leaves,
And the covering of the shoaveS,
Thou art rocking, airy thing,
Like proud exalted king;
Conqueror thou surely art, II
And majestical of heart.
There are times Of floneliness
When living thing we bless;
Ii mes of miserable ain,
Cold without, and da Tk within;
Then, old spider, happily /
Seek thy busy factory;
Always finding thee athomej
Too foreca sting e'er to roam;
So we sit and epin together.
In the gayest, gloomiest weather.
