THE STONES OF SOLOMON'S
TEMPLE.

The marble stones which compos-
ed Solomcn's thmple were said to be
forty cubits long, twelve thick, and
eight high. Surprising a cubit to
he eighteen inches, which is the
lowest estimate, they would be sixty
feet long eighteen thick. and twelve
high. And supposing cubit foot
of marble to weigh 2, 707 ounces, one
of these stones weighed 2,715,O38
pounds and twelve ounces. If one
man was able to raise 200pounds, it
required Is, $50 men to raise one Of
these, and also a little boy who
could raise 80 pounds IL ounces.
Surprising one man required o.!e
square yard to stand upon. it would
require two acres, three rods, eleven
perches and twelve yards TO stand
upon while raising it, besides a
place for a little boy in stand.
What floats must have been necess-
airy to carry them across to Joppa!
What kind of teams as we'll as wag-
ons do you suppose they had to carry
these stones from Joppa to Jerusalem,
which is about thirty miles through
a mountainous country? What skill
was necessary to square and dress
these immense stones, so that when
they were brought together they fit
ted so exactly that they had the ap-
pearance of one stone.

Of2I7 peerages created in England
since the 1st of January, 1890 only 1873
vet remain upon the rolls. The number
of Peers in 1880 W - 393; the continual
additions by successive Prime Ministers
have raised it TO 480. Of the peeraoes
created in the Plantagenet regions ouly

Stuart reigns. 46; of George l. and IT,. 26;
George Ill, hi; of George w., 43; of

When it is borne in mind that more than

be extingui-hed by death and not by res

SIMPLICITY IN LIVING.

To live simply, to master and
control our expenditures, is sore
need in all classes. The influences
which surround us, the ideas in whic
we have been brought up, the
habits which we fall into a second
nature, all sway us in the some
direction. Every family and every
seem to have caught hold of the
skirts Of the one above it, and to be
desperately holding on. Well, as
Mr.. Goodwin Smith says, the best
thing thy can do is to let go-the
only thing indeed which will, give
themselves any comfort or make their
lives Of real use in this generation.
The moment they will do so, and
begin resolutely to live without regard
to what their neighbor on the right
spends ] n carriages, or their neigh
Dor on the left in upholstery. they
will find themselves rich for all good
purposes. From that moment it
can nc, longer h be said of us. with
truth. that we dare rot trusto ur wits
to make our houses pleasant to our
friends and 80 we buy ice-cream.
And this most needed of all reforms
is just the ONE which every soul of
us can carry through for himself or
herself. l9q We cannot sweep our
whole street. mo doubt. But every
one of US can sweep our own door
steps. and, if he will do it quietly
and regularly. anon his right and
left hand neighbor follow, and be-
fore long the whole street is swept.
And in this way, and by this means
can almost all those social tangles
which we have been gIancing at even
ing be set right. Simple living
To it even the great household ques-
ton, at once troubles, will in the end
Yield, will begin at once to look not
wholly insoluble and hopeless.
Speaking of this sore question in the
Nation, the other day, one of the
wittiest of American essayistsslatook
up the cudgels for Bridget against
her numerous accusers. "My4 good
friends" he argued "What else have
you any right to look for2 The
things which American life and
manners preach to her are not pa
tience, sobet-mindness, faithfulness,
diligence and honesty; but self
assertion, discomfort, hatred of SUI
periority of all kinds, and eagerness
for physical enjoyment" and the
words come home, | fear, with sing
ular force to us inlanders also in these
days. Let US hope that the picture
Of the good coming time which he
goes on to draw may prove true to
us also. "Whenever the sound of
the new gospel which is to win d the
nations back to the ancient and noble
ways is heard in the land il IS far
toexpect that it will not find her
ears wholly closed; and that when
the altar of dutyis again set up by
her employers, she will lay attract

soup, display remarkable fertility in
sweets, and extreme fondness for
washing, and learn to grow OLD in
