EARTH's CURIosITIEs.-At the city Of
Medina, in Italy, and about four miles around
it, whenever the earth is dug, when the
workmen arrive at the distance ofsixty-three
feet, they come 10 bed of chalk, which they
bore with an augur five feet deep. They
then withdraw from the pit before the au-
CUR is removed, and upon its extraction the
water bursts up through the aperture with
great violence, and quickly fills the new
made well, which continues full, and is effect
ed neither by rains or drouth. But what is
the most remarkable in this opperation is
the layer of earth as we descend. At the
depth of fourteen feet are found the ruins Of
an ancient city-paved streets, houses, floors
and different pieces of mason work.

EXPENSIVE SMoKE.-The revenue from
cigars in 1867 was ss,666, 1874, which is the
tax on 732, 200, 900 cigars. 1t is estimated
BY the New York World that fully l,O00,>
100000 cigars were consumed in the United
States during the year. This would give
over 25 to each person or, supposing that
one-tenth of the whole people smoke, and
half Of them smoke tobacco in pipes, we
have an average of 500 cigars consumed BY
each of the genteel smokers during the year,
at = cost Of at least $50 per head.

REMARKABLE BIRTHs.- 1t is recorded
that in Russia, many years ago, the wife Of
a countryman gave birth to sixty>nine chill
dren at twenty seven confnements; four
times four at one birth, seven times three,
and sixteen times twins. In the year 1909
the newspapers contained the following an
nouncement: "Maria Ann Helen, the wife
of poor linen weaver in Neulerchenfeld,
twenty years married, bore at eleven con6ne-
ments, tbirty,two children, twenty niue
living and three dead; twenty-six were
males and six females; all by one father,
and nursed by herself She had at her last
confinement three children, one living and
two dead. Her husband was a twin, she
herself one of four. Her mother had pro.
duced twenty eight children, and died dur
ing a confinement with twins. The greatest
number of children ever produced at one
birth appears to have been six, all of whom
were boys, and all dead; and the woman
who gave birth to them had been twice mar,
ried, and had already given birth to forty
four children. During her FIRST marriage,
which lasted twenty-five years, she bore
thirty seven boys and three girls. In her
second marriage, which lasted but three
years, she bore fourteen children-three at
the first, five at the second, and six at the
third confinement.

There is nothing better understood than
that an overtasked brain will speedily lose
its power, if, indeed, it be not driven to q
fatal congestion We no longer err through
ignorance. A clergyman, for instance, knows
perfectly well if be devotes bis nights to
writing sermons, instead of sleeping, that
yery soon he will be forced to ask his con
Rregation for permission to 60 TO Europe.
Still be keeps up bis unreasonable work, and
axes it q matter of conscience to commit .
long and deliberate suicide. 1t is asserted,
upon the strength of a post mOrtem examinal
ten, that the late much. .lamented Governor
Andrew, public man, whose life was of the
greatest smportance to the whole country,
was really killed by hard work.
1t is painful to speak with anything like
censure Of q career so selfdevoted, especially
when we consider that Governor Andrew
knew perfectly well the terrible risk which
be was running. When be gave himself to
the cause of the Republic, he just as literally
took his life in his hand as if he had volun$
teered to lead forlorn hope upon the field
Of battle. Was this sacrifice necessary
Was it wise OF prudent Here was . man
Of extraordinary capacity for public affairs
here was life of uncommon value to the
community here was that rarity in history,
! an able man with an educated conscience,
here was one who might make mistakes, and
who did make them, but who was utterly
incapable of any act Of deliberate sel6shness;
and just 10 the maturity of his powers, jusi
when he had trained himself to fll higher
posts in the public service, he is suddenly
called away. "At this exigent moment" "a
borrow the language of Burke, the Gloss oi
finished man is not easily supplied"
Whoever undertakes to do the work oi
FIVE days in one, will be sure either to kill
himselfOr to do his work badly. In eithei
case, nothing is gained by excessive and
unseasonably prolonged application yet thi,
is truth universally acknowledged and JUS
as universally disregarded by students and
public men. The President of a College
makes fine speech to the Freshmen he
tells them that they must properly regard
the laws of health that night study is worse
than no study at all that dyspepsia is the
bane Of our colleges and it turns out upon
inquiry that this excellent President is in
the habit of reading Hebrew for half the
night, and is himself wretched victim o.
chronic indigestion, has something the mat
ter with his head, is growing deaf, or grow.
ing blind, smokes more tobacco than is good
for him, and will certainly be obliged to gc
to Italy by advice of the family doctor, un.
less Divine Providence works special mira
Gle, which it is not at all likely to do.

DoN'T BELIEVE IN ADvERTIsING.-The
following from an exchange upon this subject
expresses our sentiments, and we threfore
give it to our readers in full: aThe man
who doesn't believe in advertising is all
the while doing what he deprecates. he
hangs coats outside Of his door, or puts dry
goods in his windows-thGt's advertising.
He has printed cards lying on his counter
that's advertising. He sends out drummers
through the country, or puts his name on
his wagon-thdfs advertising. He labels
his articles or bis manufactures-hdfs Gd-
vertising If he has lost bis COW, he puts
a written notice in the Post Offices, or, tells
bis sister -law-and that's advertising, too.
He has his name put up in gilt letters over
his door-what is that but ddUertising ?
He paints his shop green or red or if q
tailor, he wears the latest styles if a doctor,
he has the boys call him out of church 10
haste if an auctioneer, he bellows to attract
the attention of passers-by ifa heavy mer'
chant he keeps a huge pile of boxes on bis
sidewalk in front Of his store-and all for
advertising. "a man can't do business
without advertising, and the question is
whether to call to his aid the engine that
moves the world-the printing press, with
its thousands of messengers working night
aud day, the steam engines adding to its re-
peating capacity untold power and miracu
lous speed; or, rejecting all these, to 60
back to the days when newspapers, tele-
graphs and railroads were unknown. "But
advertising costs money! So does everything
that is worth having. If advertising cosl
nothing, all the second, third and fourth
class petty shops would stand an equa
chance with the most responsible houses.
If you want to prove to the world that your
is frst,cass establishment, advertise !
