A Little Sum in Arithmettc.

The Hebrew Educational Society School of New
Orleans has been the scene of very rare, if not
wholly unexampled, performance in arithmetic.
The problem was to multiply 9 by 0, and 81 by 81,
and so on, using each succeeding product its own
multipler until the operation should be performed
nine times How stnpendOus and discouraging the
work becomes after few steps are taken in the
process, any one will find who makes the trial. Fol
several years handsome premium had been offer
ed by the patron of the school Just named for the pup
who should first succeed in accomplishing this feat
of multiplication. At last the task was completed
and the prize, splendid silk dress, won by Miss
Sallie E. Solomon, sister of Mrs. A Dalsheimer, af
ter patient labor of three months. The work
comprises 953 numeral compounds and 10000 figures
and the whole covers four or five square yards OF
paper 1t is deserving of remark, in this counec-
ton, that boys have made less progress and showr
less perseverance in working at this ploben thar
the girls.

RarWinian Remarks.

California doctors know all about the
Darwinian theory. They had a meeting in
San Francisco to discuss the subject the
other day, and, according to the Chronicle,
DR.. Hudson, of Oakland, made few re-
marks, from which we select the following
statement: ''For instance, you take the
common amorphoza, and you viii all notice
that in a short time it becomes perfect
stramatopora, and then you will see that
the change to an oleaginous athanthaspongia
is only matter of time. Faint applause. ]
Now take the class of malacastraca, or even
the graptohdea, and its development to a
brachiopoda is as certain in its conclusion
as the passage of q regular bryozoa into a
full grown and perfectly formed cephala-
poda. Loud applause Now, then, hav-
ing once established this fact; the conclu-
sion is by no means hypothetical one that
a blaStoidea can in the same manner become
an echinoderlnata. Can the most skeptical
deny that this conclusion is true one in
every respect? Enthusiastic applause. ]
Then why can not an articulated mollusk,
by a similar process Of development, in
time become lamellibranchiata 2"

The Coming Glove.

Max Adler says: owe are engaged
now in developing a scheme for
growing kid gloves upon the original
animal. Our old friend, Darwin,
teaches Us that you can do almost
anything with breeds by judicious
selection and we are convinced
that, with a little care, it will not be
impossible to produce beast whose
skin when stripped off viii make a
seamless kid glove. Our first expe
riments are with lizards. A lizard
has four legs and a tail Now, we
believe that eventually the off fore
leg can be developed into a thumb,
while the three other legs and the
tail can be arranged as fingers. We
are crossing lizards with short tails
with those oflong legs; and we are
now looking around for a variety of
lizard with q button or two on its
neck, for the'purpose of breeding it
in with the others. The ultimate re-
suit promises to be startling. It will
break up the old glove trade and
drive Jouvin to suicide. Thus is it
that human ingenuity advances hui
man civilization"

Sons of Te.nDrrauce.

The National Division of the Sons of
Temperance held three days session in
New York city last week. A large portion
of the time was spent in considering the in
ternal affairs of the Order. In the matter
of the formation of National Division for
British North America, it was resolved to
refer the subject to a committee of dele
gates from the several Grand Divisions of
the Provinces. A resolution was passed
providing for a National Division in Aus
tralia. After a warm discussion, the follow
ing resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, The experience of over thirty
years as Sons of Temperance has convinced
us that moral suasion alone is inadequate to
stay the tide of intemperance and, where
as, the liquor traffic is not only a moral but
also political evil, requiring moral and
political action to subdue it, therefore,
ReSotued, That without wishing to inter-
fere with private opinions, this National
Division recommend all members of our
Order to combine and express their wishes
at the ballot box, for the purpose of suppress
ing the traffic in Intoxicating liquors.
An effort was made by few to strike out
the words combine and, but it failed. II
is stated to be the intention of the Order,
in the spirit of this resolution, to unite
with one of the great political organizations
to secure the passage of prohibitory laws
The next meeting is to be held in Ottawa,
Canada, on the third Wednesday in June,
1874.

Solar FIameS-A Fearful Pos.
sibilitY,

In the course of lecture on solar
phenomena, delivered on Thursday
evening by Prof. Draper, before the
University of New York, the speaker
said: "There is one reflection con-
nected with these solar eruptions
that has dire interest for us. If it
be true, and there seems to be no
doubt about the fact, that these
streams of intensely heated hydrogen
can be elected from the body of the
sun with velocity which, if it endur-
ed, would bring that breadth of fire
to our earth, and in a few hours, what
would be the effect of an eruption on
larger scale? What would happen
to men and animals if an explosion
as general as that in T. Corona Bor-
calls took place in our sun? In May,
1866, that star, which is usually in
visible to the naked eye, suddenly
famed up till it was as bright as a
star of the second magnitude When
examined by Miller and Huggins it
was found to be enveloped by pro-
digious atmosphere. In few days
it dwindled away and sank to its
former insignifcance.
But what must have been the fate
of animated beings on the surround
ing planets, if any such there were?
They were undoubtedly consumed at
once and utterly dissipated. Who
shall say that our sun, which is star,
will not do the same tomorrow, or
the next day, and thus the dread pre-
diction of the Scriptures be realized
at any moment? Most assuredly we
have no guarantee to the contrary,
and can only comfort ourselves with
the reflection that While hydrogen Is
certainly there, and also an awful
store of force to heat and project it,
yet such convulsions are rare in the
order of nature, and, therefore, the
world may outlast our time. Never
theless, both astronomy and geology
inform us that there have been per-
iods of great variation in the heat
giving power of our sun, and we may
well be disquieted at the possible ap-
proach of time when "the heavens
shall pass away with a great noise,
the elements shall melt with fervent
heat, and the earth also, and the
works that are therein shall be burn
ed up"

The Government has received a
dispatch from Sir Arnold Baker,
dated Khartoum, May 29th, where he
had safely arrived with the other Eu-
ropeans of his command. He reports
that the country as far south as the
equator has been annexed to Egypt.
The slave trade has been suppressed,
and all the rebellious movements and
secret intrigues checked. The coun-
try is orderly and its government
fully organized. In Zanzibar road
has been opened free from interrup-
ton. He won a victory on the sixth
of May with only one hundred and
five men, over the army ofthe African
chief Onise. His mission has been
perfectly successful.

signs of fMainess innogs.

The British Medical journal calls
attention to them easures recommend
ed by the Council of Hygiene of Bor
deaux aux for better protection of the
people against the dangers of Hy-
drophobia. 'It is well understood
that the madness of dogs has peri
cd which is premonitory and harm
less. Ifthese period swere generally
known, the dogs could be put out of
the way before they become danger
GUS. A short time, sometimes two
days, after madness has seized dog,
it creates symptoms in the animal
which it is indispensable to recognize.
There is agitation and restlessness,
and the dog turns himself continual
ly in his kennel. If he be at liberty,
he goes and comes and seems to be
seeking something when he remains
motionless, as if waiting; then starts,
bites the air as if he would catch
fly and dashes himself, howling and
barking, against the wall The voice
of his master qissipates these halluci-
nations; the dog obeys, but slowly,
withregret. He does not try to bite;
he is gentle, even affectionate, and he
eats and drinks but gnaws the litter,
the ends of curtains, the padding of
cushions, the coverlids of beds, the
carpet and similar articles. By the
movement of his paws about the sides
Of his open mouth, one might think he
was trying to free his throat of a
bone. His voice undergoes such a
change that it is impossible not to be
struck with it. The dog begins to
fight with other dogs; this is deci-
dedly characteristic sign, if the dog
be generally peaceful The three
symptoms last mentinoed indicate an
advanced period of disease, and that
the dog may become dangerous at
any moment, if immediate measures
are not taken. It is best to chain
him up, or better still, to kill him,
The Boston Medical and Surgical
Journal suggests that this advice
should be inserted at least once a
year in the public papers.

A series of lectures on Mr.. Oar
wins philosophy of language has re-
Gently been delivered by Professor
Max Muller, the philologist. He
maintains that there is one great diff
Guilty in the way of the theory that
man is the genealogical descendant
of some lower animal. Between the
whole animal kingdom on one side,
and man even in his lowest state on
the other, there is barrier which no
animal has ever crossed, and that
barrier is language. 1t is true that
one form of language, the emotional
such as cries-is common to ami
mails and men, but rational speech is
the prerogative of man alone. The
use of emotional language is not un-
frequently retained by those whom
disease of the brain has deprived OF
power of rational speech. The roots
of words, said the lecturer, are ou1
oldest title deeds as rational beings,
while no trace of them, or anything
corresponding to them, has ever beer
discovered among even the most ad
vanced of apes.

A Hopeless Case.

A very touching case of mental al
ienation in charming young lady is
described by q careful observer.
Not long ago her mother found her
in her room energetically darning,
stockings, and soon after she appear
ed in the kitchen and assisted that
wondering dame in making and bak-
ing pastry. Alarmed by these fear
full signs of intellectual disorder, her
fond parents Immediately sent for a
skillful physician, who watched her
through keyhole while she sewed
buttons on her fathers garments and
mended those of her little brother.
Much affected, the venerable man re-
marked that never during q medical
practice OF twenty-five years, had he
known any young person to manifest
such symptoms as these. The most
heart-rending phase of all, however,
was shown the other day when her
kind father, with faint hope of rous-
ing her from her sad state, gave her
two hundred dollars and told her to
buy new dress. Alas twas use
less. She instantly observed that
she did't need new dress, and if
he would let her keep S25 to pay
poor widows rent she'd much rather
he would keep the rest of the money
himself. For a few moments that
grief-stricken old gentleman gazed
upon his hapless child, then hiding
his face muttered between his sobs,
"Her mind is gone! Her mind is
gone !"

TO G EO RGIE B.

We are lonely without thee, darling,
Life's pathway seems cold and drear
Since death turned thy cheek to marble,
And thy voice we no longer hear;
The echo of Joyous laughter
Falls on our ears no more;
The footsteps that were our music
Now traverse q silvery shore.
We know that pathways unshadowed,
Thy tiny feet fearlessly tread,
That Heavens unclouded sunshine
Rests on our darling's head;
We know that rythmical cadence,
From cleaning fountain falls,
Within the golden city, " a.
Encircled by jasper walls.
We know that fadeless lilies,
By the banks of Hfe's river spring,
Fair as the sheeny splendOr
That falls from an angels wing;
We know that Heaven is brighter
Since Azrael hath stolen our boy,
And that the songs of the angels
Have another note of joy.
For pure soul saved from shining
A lamb unstained and white,
Hath entered the fold of heaven,
Out from earth's dreary night;
But life for us is lonely,
There is naught to cheer or bless,
And we long for his arms about us
We long for his lips to press.
The glory of life has faded
Our hopes in his grave lie low,
And we're waiting, only waiting,
To catch life's fading glow,
That on the hills eternal
We may clasp our darling's hand,
When from deaths sleep awaking
With the "white-robed throng" we stand.
To eyes grown dim with weeping
Heaven seems so far away,
But every throbbing heartbeat
Brings near the lOnged-for day,
When with the "loved and lost ones"
Wen walk the streets of gold,
When from each bad of sorrow
Fair flowers of joyIl unfold.

Until last year, the people of Cali
fornia sold their -four and wheat to
English purchasers, who obtained
them at an average cost of three
cents pound, and after manufactur-
ing them into all sorts of biscuits,
fancy crackers, etc, sent back those
articles to this country, where they
were consumed in enormous quanti-
ties at an average cost oftwenty cents
a pound. But the Californians final
" began to see that this was not
profitable, and last fall seven men of
San Francisco, investing cash capital
to the amount of 100000, formed
the California Cracker Company. The
consumption of -four this year will be
nearly $4,000 barrels, or 4,600,0OO
pounds, and 100000 pounds of sugar
and 100000 pounds of butter and
lard will also berequired The value
of the manufactured commodity that
will be turned out will not fall short
of $360,O00, at the average rate ot
seven cents a pound, which is fan
cheaper than the crackers can be fur
nished by either England or the At
lantic States. The company supply
the army and navy of the United
States on the Pacific coast, and are
extending their business with great
rapidity. A frst-class fancy cracker
set of machinery was recently import
ed from England at a cost of 500, 900
and every class of hard bread of the
choicest quality is now made. within

The Coacl,man,s Bride.

Some time ago fashionable society in Chi
cago was startled and shocked by the elope-
ment and marriage of Miss Ella Hancock,
the beauteous daughter of one of the Lake
City's richest men, with her papa's coach
man, an Enghshman named Lynden, Ia
Miss Boxer and John Dean. But not like
the latter pair has the Chicago couple stuck
it out, to make the best of very bad ven-
ture. Ella got tired of love without cot
tage and all the nice things it needs to run
fashionable young lady these days, and,
as her coachman ''Hubby" was without a
situation and out of cash, and unsympathiz-
ing pa and ma declined to contribute o
dime to help the pair along in this bread
and meat world-albeit they promised to
take her back, minus 'Coachy," and give
her all the gorgeous raiment and garniture
she sighed for,-Ella concluded to dispense
with her poorly matched partner and ''to
go it alone" to the paternal mansion. So
she did. But Lynden was not to be put off
in that way. He brought suit to recover his
wife. The case came before Judge Gary,
Of the Superior Court, and he decided it by
letting Mrs. Ella Lynden, nee Hancock,
decide it for herself-to go either to her
coachman and poverty or to return to her
plpa and wealth. She didn't require much
time to deliberate. She only sobbed one
little sigh, and whimpered: ''Ill go with
pa" And with him she went out of the
Court, while her abandoned husband blub-
bered violently, and called Heaven to wit
ness it was herself and not her gold, OF
prospects of it in future, that he loved more
than tongue could tell That sturdy and
solid and proud old pa of hers just pushed
Lynden aside with rude shove as he passed
out of the hall, with his restored Ella on his
arm, and so ends the chapter. This thing
of elopirg with coachmen will not do in the
long run.

Three Things.

Ruskin ys:--"An educated man
ought to know three .things:-First,
where he is-that is to say, what
kind of,a world he has got into; how
large it is, what kind of creatures live
in it, and how what it is made of,
and what may be made of it. Sec
ondly, where he is going-that is to
say, what chances or reports there
are OF any other world beside this !;
and what seems to be the nature of
the other world. Thirdly, what he
had best do under the circumstances;
what are the readiest means in his
power of attaining happiness and diff
fusing it. The man who knows these
things, and has his will so subdued
that he is ready to do what he knows
he ought, is an educated man; and
the man who knows them not, is un-
educated, although he could talk all
the tongues of Babel.
