paper bundles in each hand, which
together with his own person, were en-
tirely protected from moisture by being
jammed up against the form of a meek

his unlimited guest.

the situation to say that the gentleman
with the brown paper bundles gives
evidence of a cheerful faith in the
Providence of his neighbOr's umbrella I;
and that the owner and bearer of the
umbrella accepts his fate in the same
religious spirit.
1t Is a very suggestive sight. I often

Mirh at Neal Time. - Everybody
should plan TO have pleasant c0nver-
sation at the table, just as they have
good food. A little story telling, a little
reading, it may be of humorous things,
anecdotes, ETC., will often stimulate the
Joyous elements of the mind and cause
it to act vigorously: Try and avoid
going to the table all tired out. Let all
troublesome topics be avoided. Don't
scOld domestics. Don't discipline chill
dren. Think and say something pleas
ant. Cultivate mirth, and laugh when
any thing witty is said. If possible,
never eat alone. Invite friend of
whom you are fond, and try and have
a good time. Friendship and friendly
intercourse at the table whets the ap-
petite ami promotes the flow of animal
spirits.

AnectlOte Of Frederick.

Frederick the Great, of Prussia, had
a way of his own of dismissing COM
plants to which he did not care tO
listen. On a certain occasion the mer-
chants of Breslau applied to Frederick
against the ruinous competition of
Jewish dealers. "HOw is it," asked the
monarch, "that the Jews manage to
draw such an amount of business into
their hands r. 'Sire, they are up early
and late, travelling from place to place,
living very economically, and content
with small gains on rapid returns.
Every WELL" said Frederick, "eo thou
and be Jews 50 far as the conducting
of thy business is concerned"

enty times per minute, 4,2O0 times per
hour, 100, 800 times per day, and 80, 192, :
900 times Der year. At each beat a little
over two ounces of blood is thrown out
OF 1t; and each day it receives and dis
charges about seven tons of that won

Your lungs will contain a gallon of
air, and you inhale $4,000 gallons per
day. The aggregate surface of the air.
cells OF your lungs suppOsIng them to
be spread out, exceeds 10000 square
inches.
The weight OF your brain is three
pounds; when you are a man it will
weigh about eight ounces more.
Your nerves exceed 100000 in
number.
You skin is composed of three layers,
and varies from one-fOurth to one
eighth of an inch in thickness. The
area OF your skin is about 1,700 square
inches. Each square inch contains
about 800 sweating tubes or perspira-
