great gratitude for the munificent gift OF
clothes that has been sent by the cOngrega-
tions OF ST. Peters Cathedral and the Grace
Episcopal church. and which has to-day

ii is but drop in the ocean compared to the
urgent necessity that exists for clio, hing for
men, women, and children in the distressed
districts OF our unhappy country. | select
two out OF hundreds Of letters before me 10
show the dearth that exists, and | beg Of
you, dear madam, il possible, TO collect
more from among the friends OF Ireland in
generous America. We can never forget
how she has come forward during our dis
tress, and TO her belongs the proud boast of
having daily fed $4,000 OF IrelaDd's little
ones since the month Of March, and so saved
thousands from 4 lingering death Of slow
starvation on Insufficient food. and the sur
yivors from life Of moral and physical de-
generacy.
shall forward to you the letters received
from the different places 20 which we send
your clothes that you may Judge OF the

Hours and Minutes.

Why is one hour divided into sixty
minutes? and each minute again into
sixty seconds? =? Why not divide our
time as we do our money, by tens.
counting ten, or fifty, Or one hundred
minutes to the hour? This question
was asked by an intelligent boy few
days sisce; and the answer given him
may both interest and instruct other
young people. The answer is this
We have sixty divisions on the dials
OF our clocks and watches, because the
Old Greek astronomer, 'Hipparchus, who
lived in the second century before
Christ, accepted the Babylonian system
OF reckoning time, that system being
sexlgesimal. The Babylonians were
acquainted with the decimal system;
but for common and practical purpo-
ses, they counted by sossi and sdri, the
Sossos, representing sixty, and the saros,
sixty times sixty, is thirty-six hundred.
From Hipparchus, that mode of reck-
oning found its way into the works of
Ptolemy, about Is A. D., and thence
was carried down the stream of science
and CIV found its way to
the dia eur clocks and
watches terian.

AN EXCITING BAREFOOT ADVENTURE

AN EXCITING BAREFOOT ADVENTURE.
Prompt action in tight place has a
good example in the following from a
far West paper. the Cherokee Georgian ::
A young man named Penny, while out
hunting his steers barefoot the
other day, stepped on the head of a
large rattlesnake. He had his heel on
the snakes head, and being afrail to
move, did not know what to do for
some time, while the hideous thing
was writhing and sqirming and vigor-
ously lashing the youths legs. Penny
was badly frightened, but recovered
presence OF. mind sufficient to take out
his knife and reach down and cut off
the snakes head.

Quick Cure for Poison Oak,

A few months ago an eminent physician
who had tested the remarkable curative
qualities of Phosphate Soap for various skin
diseases expressed his belief that it would be
an excellent remedy for Poison Oak. 1t was
accordingly tested for this purpose. A boy
had been so badly poisoned as to BE confined
to his bed for week, and had his hands all
covered with sores when he began to use
Phosphate Soap. Within twenty-four hours
he was greatly relieved and in few days he
was entirely cured of Poison Oak by the use
of PHOSPHATE SOAP

BEAR WITH THE LITTLE ONES
Children are undoubtedly very trouble
some at times in asking questions, and
should, without doubt, be taught not
to interrupt conversation in company.
But, this resolution made, we question
the policy of Withholding an answer at
any time from the active mind which
must find so many unexplained daily
and hourly mysteries. They who have
either learned to solve the mysteries,
or who have become Indifferent as to
an explanation, are not apt to look
ompassionately enough upon this eager
restlcssness on the part of children to
penetrate causes and trace effects. By
giving due attention to these ''trouble-
some questions" child's truest educa-
ton may be carried on. Have little
patience, then, and sometimes think
how welcome to you would be trans
lator, if you were suddenly dropped ir
to some foreign country, where the Ian
guage was the most unintelligible to
you, and you were bursting with curi-
osity about every strange object that
met your eye.
If we would begin at the right end
and look with as much compassion on
the adversities of some as we do with
envy at the properties of others, every
man would find cause to sit down con-
tentedly with his own burden.

The Monkey and the Hawk.

The cook of o French nobleman,
whose chateau was in the south of
France, had monkey which was al
lowed the free range of the kitchen, and
which was SO intelligent that by severe
training its natural propensity to mis-
chief had been subdued, and it was
even taught to perform certain useful
services, such as plucking fowls, for
Instance, at which it was uncommonly
expert. One fine morning a pair of
partridges was given it to pluck. The
monkey took them to an open window
which looked directly upon the park,
and went to work with great diligence.
He soon finished one, which he laid on
the outer ledge of the window, and then
went quietly on with the other. A
hawk, which had been watching his
proceedings from q neighboring tree,
darted down upon the partridge, and in
a minute was up in the tree again,
greedily devouring his prey.
The CONSERVATION of the monkey at
this untoward adventure may be easily
imagined. He knew he should be Sc
verely whipped for losing it. He
hoped about in great distress for sew
eral minutes, when suddenly bright
thought struck him. Seizing the re-
naming partridge, he went to work
with great energy and stripped off the
feathers. He then laid it on the led ge :.
just where he had placed the other, and
closing one of the shutters concealed
himself behind it. The hawk, which
by this time had finished his meal, very
soon swooped down upon the partridg ge;
but hardly had his claw touched the
bird when the monkey sprang upon
him from behind the shutter. The
hawks head was instantly wrung, and
the monkey, with a triumphant chuckle,
proceeded to strip off the feathers.
This done, he carried the two picked
fowls to his master, with confident
and self-satisfed air, which seemed to
say, Here are two birds sir, just what
you gave me-"
What the cook said on finding ono of
the partridgos converted into hawk, is
more than we are able to tell.

VentilAtiOn.


A gentleman while attending church one eve
ming found that his feet were:icy cold so that
he had to raise them Off the floor. Calling the
attention OF the sexton to the fact, the latter
said, with some perplexity:
Eyes, we have good many complaints of
cold feet from others; but don't understand
the reason why we can't keep the church warm;
we surely have fires enough"
So saying, he pointed to register in the floor
directly behind the gentleman, in the adjoining
pew. Looking around, the latter could see that
there was hot fire In the furnace beneath, and
yet no heat came up. When a handkerchief
was laid over the register, it scarcely stirred.
The visitor asked the sexton:
"Have you any means OF ventilation"

"No. SIR"
"Do you think, II you did, that you could force
any more air into bottle by blowing than was
In 1t before?'
He couldn't say. Never had thought of it.
aWell" continued the gentleman, ''you would
soon find, II you tried, that 1t was impossible,
and neither can you force air into this church

or some other Oriflce."
But" the sexton demurred, "opening WIN

"You Just try 1t, - was the response. 'Raise
