scriptions, Of which 296 were passenger
coaches. The value Of these additions

So strongly is the mothers love de-

Patience Greater Than Hobs.

l suppose Jobs patience was wonder
full for a man; but it was nothing to
that of women. What would Job have
done had he been compelled to sit in
the house and sew, and knit, and nurse
the children, and see that hundreds Of
different things were attended to during
the day, and hear children cry, and fret,
and complain? Or how would he have
stood it if, like some poor woman, he
had been obliged to rear family of ten
or twelve children without any help,
spending months, years-all the prime of
6fe-in washing, securing, scrubbing,
mending, cooking, and nursing children;
fastened to the house and his offspring
from morning till night, and from night
till morning; sick or well, in storm or
sunshine, his nights often rendered mis-
cradle by watching over his children
How could he have stood all this, and in
addition to all other troubles the curses
and even violence of a drunken COM
panion? He would soon have tired of
unrewarded labor and undeserved blame.
For, after all, though Job endured his
boils and losses very well for q short
time, they did not endure long enough
to test the strength of his patience.
Woman tests her patience by whole
life of trials, and she does not grumble
at her burdens. We are honestly of the
opinion that woman has more patience
than Job; and instead of saying, "The
patience of job" we should say, "The
patience of woman. "-Ecchange.

A Gander Duel,

Might makes right among dumb Great
ures. Here is an illustration. A fight
between two geese took placein vacant
lot on Summer street, says the Nashville
american. A flock of geese were en-
gagged in extracting from a large mud
hole such delicacies as are relished as
food by that festive bird, when strange
goose made his appearance and begun
quietly grabbing, evidently deeming the
mud-hole common property.
For some time the appearance of this
stranger was not noticed, but at last one
of the geese looked up and beheld the
intruder, and walking to his companions
seemed to communicate the intelligence
to them.
A short consultation was held, and one
of the number approached the intruder,
and, as subsequent actions proved, ex-
tended challenge for combat.
This challenge was accepted, and the
two began to fight, all the geese sur
rounding the two and cackling fercely.
For period of about ten minutes the
warfare was waged fercely, and at the
end of that time the intruder began to
press his antagonist so hard that he took
refuge in flight.
The intruder, after following his an
tagonist short distance, returned to
the spectators and was received by them
in silence. He raised his wings and
strutted around, cackling all the time.

How an Owls Head Reyolyes.

A,writer who had read a story about
an owl wringing it's own neck off looking
at a man who was walking around it,
tested the matter by experiment. He
obtained specimen and placed it on top
of a post. "It was not difficult" says
the writer, O. to secure his attention, for
he never diverted his gaze from me while
[ was in his presence. I began walking
round the post, a few feet from it, keep
ing my eyes fixed upon him all the
while. His body remained motionless,
but his head turned exactly with my
movements. When I was half way
round, his head was exactly behind him.
Three-quarters of a circle was completed,
the same twist of the neck, the same
stare. One circle, and no change. On
[ went, three times round, beginning to
wonder why the head did not drop off,
when all at once I discovered what had
failed to notice before. When I reached
half way round from the front, which
was as far as he could turn his head with
comfort, he whisfed it back through the
whole circle so instantaneously, and
brought it facing me again with such
precision, that actually failed to detect
the movement, though [ was looking in
tently all the time.

if you have faith in my treatment, pro-

This I shall do on the 18th, 10th and

arrive, shall have mitigated your suf-

must you step across water, nor, indeed,

else. But, whatever may be promised
to you in the meantime, have nothing to
do with it. Nothing will do you any
good but my treatment. The recipient

Great Works in Olden Times.

Wendell Phillips thinks the ancients
attained perfection in some arts, the
knowledge of which has been lost in our
time. It is certain that those most
familiar with steam-power and modern
machinery are puzzled to explain how
the grand structures of the ancient world
were erected. Builders say that no
modern contractor could erect the great
pyramid in Egypt, and lift the gigantic
stones at the summit to the height of
four hundred and fifty feet.
A recent visitor to Baalbec, and the
ruins of the great temple of Baal, doubts
if any modern architect cauld rebuild
the temple in its ancient grandeur.
Three huge stones, sixty-four feet long,
thirteen high, and thirteen wide, stand
In wall at the height of twenty feet.
Nine other stones, thirty feet long, ten
high, and ten vide, are joined together
with such nicely that trained eye can
not discover the line of juncture
A column still stands in the quarry. q
mile distant, which is completed, with
the exception that it is not detached at
the bottom. It is sixty-nine feet long,
seventeen high, and fourteen broad, and
one cannot understand how it can be
separated at the bottom from the quarry
without breaking. The ruins Of this
vast temple inspire respect for the genius
OF former ages.

DeStructibiIitY of Human Bones.

An instance of the readiness with
which human bones disappear is shown
In the fact that the Dutch Government
m 1853 drained off the great HARLEM
lake, on which there had been many
shipwrecks and naval fights, and where
thousands had found watery grave.
The canals and trenches dug to con-
siderable depth through the rescued
land are estimated to have on aggregate
length of thousands of miles, and yet
not single human bone was exhumed
from first to last. Some weapons and a
few coins, and one or two wrecked YES
sells alone rewarded the efforts and re-
searches of the curiosity-hunters. Here,
as in cavern deposits and river gravels
generally, works of art alone furnished
evidence of the existence of man, even
though no part OF the deposit could be
more than 800 years old, as the lake was
formed by an inundation toward the end
of the sixteenth century.
