Louisville boasts of an eighteen
year old belle who can lift a tub
of clothing from the ground to an
elevation Of four feet, and have
the clothes line white with the re-
suits Of the labor OF her own little
white hands in a Short while.
Meantime her mother sits in the
parlor taking hex ease in her old
age. As soon as this becomes
generally known the railroads
running into that city will have
to run extra tains.

Had Him There.

A Jersay tavern keeper, who
had become more celebrated for
the length of his bills than the
abundance of his people, met with
a razor as sharp as himself not
long since. A Yankee happening
to pass through that barbarous
region stopped at this mans hotel
and ordered dinner. When he
came to pay the bill, he was aston
ished to find it stretched out to the
round sum of six dollars. This
rather startled the Yankee, and
he demanded to know what he had
eaten that such q bill could be
charged. The landlord replied:
"The bill will show you.o
On consulting is he found there
in charged several kinds of wines
and extras.
swell, look here, / didn't have
none of your wines-there was
none of that 'ere stuff brought on
for me, and / won't pay the bill"

we know our BUSINESS" "replied
the landlord; "the wine was on
the table, and you could drink il
or not-that was your business
The Yankee saw there was nc
use in quarrelling about the mat.
ter: so, with a muttered vow OF
vengeance, be paid the bill.
Three months after that, our East
ern friend again made his appear
ance at the hotel, and called for a
dinner for himself and friend
When he sat down to the table hi
laid a twenty-doIlar bill at the
side of his plate, and ordered
all the delicacies he could think of
and all the wines be could,stomach
While eating his dinner, he called
the attention Of the landlord Il
the bill. as to whether it was gen
uine or not. The landlord looked
at it-replied that it was, an(
handed it back. AS soon as they
had finished their dinner AM
cracked an extra bottle of cham
paign, the Yankee put the money
in his pocket, walked out of the
house and jumped into his wag
gon.
"Hallo! here, you've not pait
your bill,n said the landlord.
''That's your own fault" sale
the Yankee; Il never wait to hav,
a bill presented to me-the money
lay on the table, and you should
have taken it or not, just as yol
told me about the wine tire,

WEIGHT OF PEoPLE.-The av-
erage returns show that a citizen
of the world, on the first appear
ance in public. weighs about six
pounds and a half; a girl baby a
little less. Sume very modest ba-
bies hardly turn the scale with
two pounds and half, while 9th
er pretentious youngsters boast of
ten or eleven pounds. When
Shylock asked for his pound of
flesh, he asked for an equivalent to
a little less than a 81 9Th of baby.
How the tiny one grows during
childhood, we need not trace here ;
but it may be interesting TO know
that boys and girls oftwelve years
of age are nearly eqaal in weight ;
after which limit males are heavi,
er than females Of the same age.
Young men Of twenty average
143 pounds each, while the young
women of twenty average 100
pounds. Men reach their heaviest
bulk at about thirty five, when
their average weight is about 155
pounds; but women slowly fatten
Rntil fifty, when their average is
about 100 pounds. Men and wo
men together. their weight at full
growth averages about twenty
times as heavy as they were OF
the first day OF their existence
| Of course averages are here only
meant. The averages were form
ed from men ranging from los t.
900 pounds, and women from 81
to 207 pounds. The actual weigh
of human nature, taking all ages
and conditions-nobles, clergy
thinkers, tailors, maidels, boys
girls and babies, all included, tn,
average weight is almost 18'
pounds avoirdupois, fer each hu
man being; quantity easy to re
member, at any rate.

No valid plea can be urged against It's use,

OF ground which formerly constituted
