A Billion.

Few people have any conception Of
the stupenduous sum which is designated
by this term. Some writers have stated
in an article headed "What becomes Of
all the pins?" that millions of billions Of
pins must vanish, no body can tell how,
or where, in the course of year
Euclid" correspondent ofthe Nation
al Intelligencer, shows up the absurdity
of the assertion in the following style:
81 think, sir, the author of that article
thought little of what he was saying,
when he said that millions of billions OF
pins must vanish in the course of a year.
Many pins undoubtedly vanish every
year; but any mathematician will demon
strate to us that single billion has never
been manufactured. A billion, according
to Noah Webster, is million of mill
ions," a number so vast that the human
mind has not the capacity to comprehend
it. A mandatory making a hundred
pins per minute. and kept in constant
operation, would not make fifty-two
millions FIVE hundred and ninety six
thousand per annum, and would require
near t,Oenty thousand gears, at the same
ratio, without single moments cessation,
to make the number called billion.

.asefnI aa6 curious.
me Human System.

There are some interesting facts con
nected with the composition of the hu
man system which may not be generally
known. We have drawn together from
several reliable authorities some OF thes,
facts. sil . fa -si
The human body contains seventeen
elementary substances. and niLe- tenthl
of the whole bulk of the system is com,
posed of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and
nitrogen gases. which are invisible wher
in an uncombined state.
Every full grown man contains phos
phorus and sulphur enough for gross o
friction matches; soda, lime and potash
enough to make I've sufficiently strong
to bear up six eggs at once; iron enough
for pen knife blade; flint enough fol
the lock of an old musket; and copper in
a small quantity.
Only six of the two hundred and forty.
six bones found in an adult are fully
formed at birth. at which time the bones
are soft like jelly. Ssh.
The number Of muscles in the system
IS over FIVE hundred, varying from one.
fourth of an inch to twenty-eight inches
in length. These muscles are composed
of minute fbres, of which, it is said,
there are enough in a cubic inch of cleal
muscle, could they be unravelled, to reach
over 5000 miles in length; and the entire
muscular 6bres ofthe system PLACED in a
line would reach more than four hundred
times round our globe, or over 10000
600 miles.
Just beneath the skin are the little
tubes through which the Precipitation is
poured ont, about one-fourth of an inch
in length, and numbering about three
thousand and five hundred in square
inch of the palms of the hands and soles
Of the feet, and about two thousand and
eight hundred in square inch of the
remainder of the surface of the body
the total number of these tubes or pores
in the body being about seven millions,
and the total length about twenty eight
miles. -LI. l-t-l sEias
In the male, the weight of the brain
and spinal cord ranges between forty six
and fifty three ounces; in the female,
between farty zone and forty-seven ounces
though rare cases both exceed and fall
below these numbers. .... ,,.-r,
The entire part of the body which has
vitality is said to be a collection of little
cells, filed with huid, far too small to be
seen by naked eye-so small tina. twelve
thousand of the smallest of them could

Captain Basil Hall, when he travelled
in this country, found the Yankees a
people entirely destitute Of wit and humor.
Perhaps our gravity, which ought to have
put him on the right scent, deceived him.
I do not know of more perfect example
Of wit than something which, as l have
heard, was said to the Captain himself.
Stopping at village inn, there came up a
thunderstorm, and Captain Hall, sur
prise1 that new country should have
reached such perfection in those meteoro-
logic manufactures, said to a bystander,
.fWhy, you have very heavy thunder
here "Well, yes" replied the man.

driver told me once; A wag on the out
side Of the coach, called to man by the
roadside, who was fencing some very poor
land-''I say, mister, what are you fen

forty acres ont to starve middle sized
cow" "Jesso and Pm fencin' of it to

Cows.-The following is good advice:
The point in which farmers are most at
fault is, that they overstock their farms
-oAly half feed their animals, let skele-
ton cow-frames drag themselves over the
premises, and complain because these dry
bones do not give milk abundantly.-
Wherever cows are kept for the dairy, it
is possible and proper-it is duty to
keep them well. This can be done. If
you cannot keep four well. try two; the
two well kept, will give more income
than four half-starved ones. The good
ness of the COW is determined partly by
their native properties-but the food also
has much and very much, to do in ma
king her good otherwise. Keep no more
than You can feed well--very well.--THe
