The Seven Bibles of the World.

The seven Bibles of the world are the
Koran OF the Mohammedans, the Eddas
of the Scandinavians, the Try Pitikes of
the Buddhists, the Five Kings of the Chi
nese, the three Wedas of the Hindoos,
the Zendavesta, and the Scriptures of
the Christians. The Koran is the most
recent of these seven Bibles, and not
older than the seventh century of our
era. It is q compound of quotations
from the Old and New Testaments, the
Talmud, and the Gospel of st. Barna-
bas. The Eddas of the Scandinavians
were first published in the fourteenth
century. The Pitikes of the Buddhists
contain sublime morals and pure aspira-
tions, but their author lived and died in
the sixth century before Christ. There
is nothing of excellence in these sacred
books not found in the Bible. The
sacred writings of the Chinese are called
the Five Kings, sking" meaning web
of cloth or the warp that keeps the
threads in their place. They contain the
best sayings of the best sages on the
ethico-political duties of life. These
sayings cannot be traced to a period
higher than the eleventh century B. G.
The three Vedas are the most ancient
books of the Hindoos, and it is the
opinion of Max Muller, Wilson, john
son and Whitney that they are not older
than eleven centuries B. G. The Zent
davesta of the Persians is the grandes,
of all the sacred books next to our Bible
Zoroaster, whose sayings it contains
was born in the twelfth century B. G.
Moses lived and wrote his Pentateuch
fifteen centuries B. c., and, therefore,
has clear margin of 800 years older
than the most ancient of the other sac
red writings.

Mans Age.

Few men die of age. Almost all die
OF disappointment, passion, mental or
bodily toll, or accidents. The passions
kill men sometimes, ever suddenly.
The common expression, choked with
passion, has little exaggeration in it;
for, even though not suddenly fatal,
strong passions shorten life. Strong
bodied men often die young; weak men
live longer than the strong; for the
strong use their strength and the weak
have none to use. The latter take care
OF themselves, the former do not. As it
is with the body, SO it is with the mind
and temper. The strong are apt to
break, or, like the candle, to run the
weak to burn out. The inferior animals
which live temperate lives have generally
their prescribed number of years. The
horse lives twenty-five, the OK fifteen or
twenty, the lion about twenty, the dog
ten or twelve, the rabbit eight, the
guinea pig SIX or seven years. These
numbers all bear similar proportion to
the time the animal takes to grow to its
full size. But man, of the animals, is
one that seldom lives this average. He
ought to live a hundred years, according
to physical law, for five times twenty are
one hundred; but, instead of that, he
scarcely reaches on an average four times
his growing period the eat six times
the rabbit even eight times the standard
of measurement. The reason is obvious
man is not only the most irregular and
the most Incorporate, but the most la
borious and hard worked of all the ami
mails. He is also the most irritable of
all animals and there is reason to
believe, though we can not tell what an
animal secretly feels, that, more than any
other animal, man cherishes wrath to
keep it warm and consumes himself with
the fire of his own secret reflections

The American Girl.

The defects of the American girl may
be done away with by giving less prom
inence to the purely intellectual or
purely, practical side Of her education.
For, while one class of men is striving to
solve the problems of life by educating
women intellectually, there is another
class which is shouting for education in
domestic matters. While the professors
at Harvard are rejoicing over some girl
who can take in their PHILOSOPHERS or
their mathematics, the newspaper editor
sings the praises of her who can roast
turkey, bake bread, or make her own
dresses. Neither gives the poor girl any
chance to exist, but only to work, with
either hand or brain. No one says to
her "You are not only yourself, but
possibly the future mother Of other be-
ings. DO not, therefore, allow yourself
to be driven by either school of apostles
beyond what you may do easily, COM
fortably, or pleasurably. The healthy
balance of your nervous system is far
more important to you and your future
family relations than all the mathemat-
les or dressmaking, or even roasting of
turkeys. Occupy yourself steadfastly,
but without strain, without hurry, and
without emulation. Find out first what
you can do best, and, even if it does not
come up to somebody else's standard,
learn to content yourself with that

Trapping GOphers.

The Santa Ana (Cal.) Times says
that the farmers of that valley are
catching the gophers in the following
manner GA trench is dug about three
feet deep, by two feet wide, across the
entire premises, and barrels, boxes, or
cans are placed at convenient distances,
which are sunk deep enough so that
the mouth comes even with the bottom
of the trench. Now, in digging trench
three feet deep, the subterranean pas
sages and general run of the gophers
are cut off and left open in the trench,
and, as the gopher does most of his
work and travelling in the night, he nat
urally tumbles into the ditch. when
once there, his next move, naturally
enough, is to hunt for another passage
whereby he may continue his journey,
and the consequences are that he fol-
lows the ditch until he comes to- one of
the boxes, barrels, or cans, which he
tumbles into, when 10, and behold, he
is caught in manner from which there
is no escape. Very often the farmer
will make haul of fifty or sixty of q
morning, and not a good day for
gophers either"

Light. NOf N0iae.

One Of the members of the bar in Sara
toga, who thoroughly enjoys good joke,
relates the following, and applies the
moral TO himself: He was counsel in a
case before Judge Pratt, referee, and
during the progress of the trial became
q little bit noisy, as he sometimes does,
when the Judge looked up and said to
him: "Mr. =, did you ever hear of
the man who was lost in the woods during
q thunder storm Y' On being answered
in the negative, the Judge continued:
"a man, IN attempting to pass through a
iece Of woods, lost his way, aDS while
he was in that predicament fearful
thunder storm came up. The woods
grew awfully dark. The roaring of the
Wind and the crashing Of the thunder
were terrific. The man was frightened
and started to pray, but, not being used
TO that business, said: ooh, Lord, give us
a little more light, and little less noisep
I don't mean you, Mr.. -" added
the Judge, but the audience supposed all
the time that the Judge did mean him,
and now that he thinks Of it himself he
inclines TO that opinion also.

Robin Red.breast.

The English robin, after whom our
robin is named, has some very pleasant
traits Of character. For one thing, he
is tender-hearted, and is often known to
feed and comfort suffering birds, whether
they are Of his own kind or not Stories
are told Of homesick birds shut up in
cages being visited by robins and cheered
up by social chattering, and also of
their being supplied by the same generous
little creatures with worms and other
nice morsels Of food. Young birds which
fall out of the nest before they can fly,
seem to be the special care of the iobins.
They will feed and care for them, and at
last teach them to fly, and fly away with
the grateful youngsters. The bird we call
a robin though he is quite as interesting
as the English robin, and has his own
pleasant, lively ways, has really no right
TO the name, being in fact q thrush.
Whatever we call him, he is bright, in
telligent fellow, and nothing can be fun.
