POULTRY IN FRANcE.-A curious state
ment has been made and published in
a French paper in regard to hens. It
reckons the number of hens in France
at 100000 900, valued at $40, ,000, 900.
OF these, about one fifth are killed an
nually for the market. There is an an
nual net production of80, ,000, 900 chick
ems, which in market yield $24 ,000, 900.
The extra value to be added for capons,
fattened hens, and the like, is put at
81, 100000 The production Of eggs is
reckoned at an average of 100 eggs per
hen, worth 5000 900. In nll, it is
reckoned that the value of hens, chick
ems, and the eggs sold in the markets
OF France is $50, 900, 900. If the state
ment here given be correct, it is GER
tainly encouraging. BY the raising of
eggs and poultry in this case an i'm
mense amount is added to the resources
of France. May we not do as well, OF
better here ? II is well known fact
that nothing finds a more ready sale,
at fair prices than such products.

AN ELEPHANT AS NURSE.

: A large elephant showed, by constant
dagellation Of his person, that be was
much annoyed by his prosecutors, the
mosquitoes, and Just at that time the
keeper brought a little naked black
thing, as round as ball, which in In
dia I believe they call child, laid it
down before the animal with two words
in Hindostanee, Watch it" and then
walked away into the town. The ele-
phant immediately broke off the larger
part Of the bough, 90 as to make a
smaller and more convenient whisk, and
directed his whole attention tothe child
gently tanning the little lumpof India
ink, and driving away every mosquito
which came near it. This he continued
for upwards OF two hours, regardless Of
himself, until the keeper returned. II
was really beautiful sight, causing
much reelection. Here was o monster,
whose weight exceeded that OF the in
FAINT by at least ten thousand times, ac-
knowledging that the image of his Max.
er, even in it's lowest degree Of perfec-
ton, was divine; silently proving the
truth Of the sacred announcement, that
God hath "given to man dominion ov-
or the beasts of the field" And here
too, was brute animal setting an exam
pie OF devotion, and seIf-denial that but
few Christians, none indeed buta moth.

thirty-seven fold; population, eleyen.fold.
In 1870, religious societies owned $354, ,000,-
000 worth OF property. The most extra0rdi-
nary increase has been among Mcth0diEts and
Roman Catholics. The rapid ratio of In

ago the more important religious b0dics were
