Law of Average.

The late Mr.. Buckle, in his "Intro-
daction to the History OF Civilization
in England" somewhat startled the
world by announcing theory OF ay.
crage, which he applied to all human
actions, and from which he argued
that we might forecast the future. 1t
was philosophy teaching by statistics.
In sucn space Of time there would
be so many torgeries, arsons and
murders. Not only this, but the
murders would repeat themselves in
the manner OF their perpetration;
Just the same number would be by
poison. by the pistol, by the bludg-
ion, etc. 1t in any three months OF
1920, six sons had killed their faith
ers, the like number Of cases OF par
riclde, with a certain increase tor the
increase of population, would occur
in tie same three months of 1850.
We were under the operation OF .
law seemingly beyond our control or
recognition.
THIS extraordinary theory has
seemingly just rscelved . striking
confirmation in the Registrar Gener-
ais report of accidents in the streets
of London. For many years past it
has been observed that tor the first
nineteen weeks OF, the year just
seventy four persons have been killed
by beng run over in the public thor
oughtares. 1t was therefore expect
ed from the untailing law OF average,
that the same number would be
killed tor the the first nineteen weeks
in 1869. On the Sth day of May,
after the lapse Of eighteen weeks, the
number OF fatal accidents OF this kind
should have been seventy nine, hut l.
fell four short OF that number. OBJ
viously then, the law OF average must
fail, or the accidents tor the week
ending the 18th Ct May must be
doubled. Curiously enough, for the
seven days from the Sth to the 10th,
eight persons were actually killed,
| instead Of four, aud thus the seventy
four VICTIMS demadcd by the merci.
less arithmetic were fully made up.
This was certainly odd. The de-
duction from it would seem to be
that when accidents or crimes are in
arrear, the public should be notified
u. order that. by increased caution
or vigilance, the expected disasters
may be avoided. We take precau
tionary measures against unusual
peril; we give additional props T.
to buildings which are to undergo
an unaccusto tomed stra y, and double
a police force when immense crowd;
OF people are to be brought together
Should there not also be rcdonbleC
care and watchtulness against periods
which the law OF average teaches U,
will be more. than ordinarily fatal

Tales from the Talmud.

During his march to conquer the
world, Alexander, the Macedonian,
came to people in Africa who dwelt
in remote and secluded corner, in
peaceful huts, and knew neither war
nor conqueror. They led HIM to the
hut Of their chief, who received him
Hospitality, and placed before him
golden dates, golden figs and bread
Of gold.
do you eat gold in this country"
asked Alexander.
Il take it for granted" replied the
chief, "that thou vert able to find
eatablc food in thine own country.
For what reason, then, art thou come
am ong us?"
Your gold has not tempted me
hither," said Alexander; "b't l would
become acquainted with your man
ners and customs"
$50 be it," rejoined the other.
"Sojourn among US as long as it
pleaseth thee.
At the close Of this conversation
two citizens entered, as into their
court Of justice. The plaintiff sald,-
II bought OF this man piece OF
land, and as I was making q deeI
drain through it I found a treasure
This is not mine, for only bargained
| for the land and not for the treasure
that might be concealed beneath it
and yet the former owner of the lane
will not receive it"
The defendant answered.
II hope ! have conscience as vel
as my fellow citizen. ! sold him tn,
land with all its contingent as well Al
existing advantages, and consequen:
ly the treasure inclusively."
The chief, who was at the sam'
time their supreme Judge, recapitu
lated their words, in order that th'
| parties might see whether or not h'
understood them Alright. Then aftel
some reflection, said,-
"Thou hast son, friend, I believer
ayes"
"And thou addressing the other,
daughter?"
Eyes"
"Well; then, let thy son marry hi
daughter, and bestow the treasure
on the young couple for marriag'
portion
Alexander seemed surprised ant
perplexed.
"Think you my sentence unjust?
the chlet asked him.
"Oh, no." replied Alexander; "bu
| it astonishes me-
"And how, then, would the cas-
have been settled in your country!
ITO confess the truth, we shoul'
have taken both parties into custody
and have seized the treasure for th'
Kings use."
"For the King. usen exclaimed
the chief. "Does the sun shine OF
that country:'
"Oh, yes!'
"Does it rain there?"
"Assuredly"
.Wondertul! But are there tam
animals in that country, that live Of
the grass and green herbs?"
Every many, and of many kinds.
"Aye, that must then be th
cause said the chief; "for the SAX
of those innocent animals the all
gracious Being continues to let tn
sun shine and the rain drop down o
your own country, since its inbabi
tants arc unworthy of such blessings.

"shoo Fiy:"

A little green frog crept out Of the mud,
Where his home for the Winter had been,
And looking above, little brown squirrel
Far up in tree was seen.
Said the little green frog to the little brown
squirrel,
"why is it! oh tell me, I pray!
That you spring around in the branches
green,
While I am in the mud oil day."
Then the little brown squirrel looked down
from his perch,
In the top Of the old oak tree,
And he said to the little green frog in the
mud,
"Shoo, fly do nj bodder me-"

Mem orics.
Many the thoughts they bring

Many the thoughts they bring
This sunny lock Of hair,
This severed lock, and this little ring.
Ny own love used TO wear.
They cut this shining curl
Prom my lost darling's head;
They took this hoop Of gold and pearl
From the finger Of the dead.
Down in the old churchyard
They laid my maiden sweet,
With marble cross her head to guard.
And . rose-tree at her feet.
But though she's sleeping there,
I'm not of all bereft-
Although she's gone, the dear and fair,
Still have something left.
She's gone from my embrace,
Yet treasurers three have l.
The golden ring, and the waving trees,
And sweet, sweet memory.
