the fly leaves were commonly wanting; he
had applied them as our ancestor Noah applied
gopher wood. But learning was so sacred in
his eyes that he never trespassed further upon
the integrity of the copy-the work itself was
always respected. 1t has been said that he
once found himself on the north bank Of the
Serpentine river without the materials for in
duging those inclinations which the sight of
water invaribly inspired, for he had exhausted
his supplies on the round pond in Kensngton
Gardens. Not single scrap Of paper could
be found, save only bank note for fifty pounds.

where, during the latter part of the voyage, the
venturous owner waited its arrival with pa

BALANCE OF Power DETwEEN THE SEXES.
The number OF males born is always greater
than the females, by about per cent. At
twenty years of age this preponderance is en-
tircly lost, and there are more females than
males. AT forty the balance is again the 9TH
er way, and then there are more males then fe-
males. AT seventy the sexes are about even.
Beyond the age Of forty years the probabilities
Of longevity are much greater for American
woman than that OF men. There are now four
hundred and thirty American women in the
United States above one hundred years of age.
