Statistics for Girls.

A young English statistician, who was
paying court to a young lady, thought to
surprise her with his immense erudition.
Producing his note book, she thought he
was about to inditc love sonnet, but was
slightly taken back by the following ques
ton:

why, three, of course; but of all the
oldest questions"
"Never mind, dear, I'll tell you all about
it in Il moment"
His pencil was rapidly at work. At last
fondly clasping her slender waist
"Nov, my darling, I've got it, and if you
wish to know how much has passed through
that adorable little mouth, in the last sew
enteen years, 1 can give you the exact fig
ures.''
Goodness. Gracious! What can you
mean"
"Now, just listen" says he, "and you
will hear exactly what you have been
obliged to absorb to maintain those charms
which are to make the happiness of my
life
But don't want to hear"
"Ah, you are surprised, no doubt, but
statistics are wonderful things. Just listen:

The appointed Sunday came. Mr.. A. and
his family stayed away from church. They
therefore missed the announcement which
the pastor made, viz, that 4 telegram had
been received that it was impossible for the
missionary to be there. He would come
next Sunday, and the annual collection
would be deferred until then.
The following Sunday Mr.. y. and family
all filed into their pew, serene and happy
i'll the thought that they had avoided the
old missionary. AS the organ was playing
the voluntary, the pastor entered the pulpit
from the vestry and stranger with him.
The pastor took the opening exercises and
the second hymn was sung, when the pastor
reese and said that MI -, the missionary
as announced last Sunday, would now ad-
dress them
MI. A. was thunderstruck. He did not
like to so ont in the middle of the service
and so determined to sit it through. The
missionary told his simple tale. The plates
came in. The collection was unprecelent-
eddy large Mr.. AS plethoric pocket-booll
had dissorged itself upon the plates, and no
heartier worker for foreign missions is now
found in that church.

SEVERE DROUGHTS.

An interesting record is that of severe
droughts as far back as the landing of the
Pilgrims How many thousand times are
observations made like the following: "Such
cold season. "Such hot season.
" Such dry weather. or "Such wet
weather. Such high winds, or calms."
etc, etc. All those who think that the dry
spell we had last Spring was the longest
ever known, will do we'll to read the follow

1t will be seen that the longest drought

of May to the first of September, making
123 days without rain. Many of the in

LONDON-ITS GREATNESS.

London is 4 vast world in itself. You are
impressed, when you find yourself in it,
with its immensely; as one is impressed by
the vast reach of the ocean when he steams
over it day after day without glimpse of
land or the sight, perhaps, of single sail
You feel like a mere atom in this vast bill
Lowry tide of human life. Cut up into
smaller communities London would make Il
dozen cities equal in population to New
York, Brooklyn, Boston, Philadelphia, Bal
timore, Washington, Buffalo, Cincinnati,
Chicago, st. Louis, New Orleans and San
Francisco! 1t contains more people than
our six populous New England States more
than the whole kingdom of Denmark,
more than twice as many as Norway, near
ly as many as all Scotland. 1t is said to
contain more Jews than Palestine, more
Catholics than Rome more Irishmen than
Dublin, more Scetchnen than Edinburg.
There are onnibuses running across the
city, by as Straight 4 route as its cow-path
streets allow, which start before ) o'clock
in the morning, and barely make two round
trips before midnight.
And year by year the great city pushes
out its borders, encompassing village after
village of the outlying suburbs in its spider
web of pavements, and water mains, and
omnibuses, and busy traffic The villas
around its fringes, as Hare says seems to
be constantly making IN effort to get into
the country and never succeeding. Many
nei.hborhoods in the solidly built city, still
bear the names by which they were known
when they were only little hamets in the
fields, miles from the city gates--such as
Chelsea, Eensington, Camberwcll, Bays
water, St. ,Johns's Wood, etc. 1t is partly
because of the absorption of so many
villages in the great metropolis that it is
afflicted with Such confusion in its streets
nomenclature. If you wish to visit King
street it is possible for you to explore ninety
four different streets of that name before
your chance Of hitting the right one the first
time is just one in ninty-nine. Does your
friend live on Church strect-you are con-
frented by one hundred and fifty streets of
that name besides the one you want! Even
OF John streets there ara one hundred and
nineteen, and of New streets-new a long
while ago, in most cases-one hundred and
siXty-six! 1t becomes necessity, in such
casrs, 70 give the set surname, so to
speak-as men began to take sirf n ii les
when James, and John, and Mary became
frequent in the same circle of acquaintance
Streets are often designated, therefore, by
adding the name of some well-known
thoroughfare into which they run, or the
special neighberhood to which they belong,
as Queen street, Cheapside; King street, ST.
James Square; Church Street, footing.
High street, horylebone, etc. And in any
case the initials of the general division of
the city are usually affixed to the address
" f c." for East Center; "W. c." West
Center; as. E." Southeast; ON, ;" North,
etc.

A Natural Soap Mine.

On Smiths creek, in Elko county, there is
most remarkable stratum of steatte rest
ing horizontally in n steep bluff of volcanic
matter which fanks the eastern side of
SmiShs creek valley. The stratum of stea-
tite is from three to ten feet in diameter.
1t is easily worked and is a veritable soap
mine In fact, farmers, cattle men and
sheep herders in that region all use the
natural article for washing purposes. This
peculiar clay, chemically considered, is n
hydrated silicate of alumina, potash, mag
nesia and lime. When the steatite is first
dug from the stratum it looks precisely like
immense masses of CASTLE soap, the mot
Ting element being small per centage Of
iron oxide. To-day Professor Stewart re-
ceived n sample of this natural soap, pre-
pared by firm in Eko, who have under
taken to Introduce it into the market. 1t is
similar in appearance to the CASTLE soap
sold in large bars. Nothing is added to the
mineral but trifle more alkali and some
scentiag extracts Its defensive qualities are
as powerful as those of any manufactured
soap.

GLASS WICKs FOR LAMPS.-A wick for
lamps is now manufactured entirely of glass
by Messrs Vobriel x Beck, of Hanau, Ger
many 1t is designed chiefly for use in pc
troleum and spirit lamps; and, with an
equal amount of the wick turned up, it
gives 4 much brighter light than cotton

greatly increase the heat of the flame. No
sparks are given off by this incombustihle
wick, nor does the light flare in draughts to
the extent which it does with n burning
wick: hence it makes the lamp safer. The
smoking is also reduced, and it is stated
that ten per cent of oil is saved by its use.
OF course the disagre-able task OF trimming
the lamp is rendered unnecessary, for beng
of glass the wick does not consume, hut
wastes away very slightly by fusion.

SLEEPING ToGETHER.-More quarrels oC
cur between brothers, between sisters, be
tween hired girls, between clerks in stores.
between apprentices in mechanics shops,
between hired men, between husbands and
wives, owing to the electrical changes their
nervous systems undergo by lodging to
gether night after night under the same bed
clothes. than by almost any other disturb
ing cause. There is nothing that will SO de
range the nervous system of a person who
is ei,ninatve in nervous force. The alb
sorber will go to sleep and rest all night,
while the eliminator will be tumbling and
tossing, restless and nervous, and wake up
in the morning fretful and peevish, fault
finding and discouraged. No two persons,
no matter who they are, should habitually
sleep together. One will thrive, the other
will lose. This is the law, and in married
life it is defied almost universally.

The Wee Mathematician.

A sharp little girl once proved that the
language of mathematics was not as exact
as it should be:
A female teacher had class of beginners
children of four and five years. In teach
ing them the rudiments of arithmetic, she
thought to simplify things. The use of the
ten numerals she thought by their ten fin
gers and, in adding or subtracting the sim
gle numbers, they could reckon upon those
digits. The thing worked to a charm, and
the little ones readily learned thus to solve
first problems of the great science.
One day the class was out for recitation,
and subtraction was the theme.
Five from five leaves how many?" was
by and by asked of a bright-eyed miss Of
four summers.
The little thing up with her fingers and
went at it. For a time she seemed exceed
inglypuzzlcd, but at length hereyes snapped
and she lifted her head confidently:
Five She said, with most assured en-
phasis.
Curious to know how she arrived at that
solution, the teacher asked her to explain.
"Why," replied the child, holding out
her two hands and placing them side by
side "Zer's five on at hand and five on at.
Now, take away 'ese five from 'ose five
and ere Zey be-fve!'
About as fine piece of ocular demonstra-
ton in the way of a logical dilemma as you
will often meet.
To "head off, such sharp little discover,
ers and accountants, it will be in order TO
say" Five from ITSELF how many"
