Baird, of the United States Ash commission,
looks for important results from the intro
dVction of the carp, which occupies the same

refuse, cabbage leaves, squsshes and melons.
The same amount ofvegotablo matter fed to

They have increased very rapidly, and
within year over 5000 persons with pri.

Long Life of Animals.

A tortoise died in England aged 900;
another at 128 years of age. The Pike
a kind of fish, has been said to live for
Z67 years, and the carp for 200 years.
The gigantic salamander may live for a
greatly prolonged period, and frogs and
toads are long-lived animals. A toad has
been kept for thirty years without show
ing signs of age, and then died through
an accident. Whales have been supposed
to live from 300 to 400 years The life
OF an elephant is said to extend bevond
100 years, but if so, there seems as vet to
be no certain evidence. Birds, as crea-
lures at once so active and warm-blooded
land thus COMPRISING, as it were, much
lie into small period) }, might be expected
to be short-lived. Yet parrots have been
known to live for upwards of century,
and pel1cans, geese and crows NAV ex.
coed the period commonly allotted to
man. A horse is generally old at thirty,
and is never known to have attained
twice that age. The life of a sheen is
about 10 years duration, and that Of
dog from Is to 20. The lion called Pom
pey, which died in the Tower of London
lived there for no less than 70 years.

Newspaper Statistics.

The Paper World for January furnish
es and vouches for these statistics: Eight
thousand two hundred and eleven news
papers and magazines published in the
United States and Canada, whose circu-
latlon is given, emit an aggregate per sim
gle issue of 2o,677 ,583 copies. The aver
age circulation of each Journal is 2,O41,
against an average circulate n of ,6O2 of
each British publication, thus showing
that the average American journal has
but II per cent of the circulation of the
average British. The aggregate of all
issues for one year from the 9,211 Ameri-
can presses mentioned is 1885, 473, 500
copies, against 1,734,s41 1856 copies by
the 1928 British presses. Thus it will
be seen that our foreign cousins, with but
little more than one-third the number of
American publications whose circulation
is known, send out within one-e eighteenth
as many copies per annum as ours. This
may at first seem incredible, when we
consider that the population of the entire
United Kingdom does not exceed $4,000
600, while that of the United States and
Canada varies but little from 81 900 900.

A Christians Company.

A changed heart will have change of
company, if it is to be had. There is
something in nature that disposeth all
men to delight in that company which
Is most suitable to their disposition.
When the grace of God hath changed
men, their minds are much changed,
too, in regard to the society which
they seek. Oh, how sapless and un-
savory then is it to them to sit or walk
in the company of such that never
have word of God or that may help
them in the matters that their hearts
are set upon! Their merry talk and
fine discourse is to him but as the
cracking of thorns under the pot 1t
doth but trouble him and move him to
compassionate such empty souls that
have no God, no Christ no heaven to
talk of, but mere improbable trifes;
but the company of those is sweet to
him that will discourse about the mat
tiers of his salvation ;. that will tell him
how ne may get more grace, and open
TO him more the mysteries of the Cos
pei, and speak to him of the riches of
Gods love in Christ, or tell him of the
dangers that are yet before him, or the
duties that he must perform. These
matters are now savory to him, for
these he knows do indeed concern him
and are worth the talking Of When a
man is IN a strange country thousand
miles off, it doth him good to meet with
his countrymen and to talk with them
about his friends and family, and his
estate and Inheritance and home, which
he must return to- One hour of this
discourse is sweeter to him than hum
dred with the strangers of the country
about matters that are little to him
So is it here. A Christian that know
eth he is a stranger in this world, and
that his God, his salvation, his home,
bis inheritance, are all in the world to
come, had rather far discourse with a
heavenlyminded man about his Father
and everlasting works and blessedness
than with worldly men about this world

" Ask and it Shall be Given. d

A notable instance of wrestling with
God, and resolving to take no denial,
and prevailing when hope seemed gone,
was that of the pious wife of a hard
drinking man named Martin, in West
Riding, Yorkshire, England, who prayed
twenty-one years for his reformation and
conversion.
When that long time had passed, and
no answer mad come to her prayer, she
went one night at midnight to the pub
lie" where her husband spent much of
his time, and found him sitting in the
bar-room with several other men and the
landlady.
-" You go home" said Martin, roughly,
when he saw his wife enter.
wait little, and your husband will
go with you" said the landlady.
Mrs Tolman," replied the poor wife,
advancing to the table where they were
sitting, have waited twenty one years
for my husband to go with me'-and
all that time have prayed for him."
She steadied her voice, and added.
am certain, too, that God will an
swer my prayers. AS sure as he is sit
ting in your bar-room, 1 shall live to see
him pass your house and have no incli-
nation to go m"
She turned to 60 out, and Martin rose
aud followed her, saying not word.
That night was the turning point in
his life. The long felt promise to the
heart of the pious wife that her husband
should go with her." began to fulfil to
her patient waiting
He went to meeting with her, and
was melted by sermon on the words
Where thou goest 1 will go, * * x
thy people shall be my people and thy
God my God" he went with her to the
family altar he went with her on the
road to heaven, and helped her to lead
their children there.-Monthly Cabinet.

P. S. The above has been lying in my
portfolio for some weeks. Little did l
think when it was written that my inter
view in January with my cherished friend,
Mrs. DIR. Brown, in the cars between
Richmond and Fredericksburg, was to be
my last meeting on earth with this gifted
and lovely Christian woman Where
shall such another be found? She was
lone among thousand" in zeal, in intel
ligence. in goodness. May the great
Head of the Church cause her mantle to
fall on many of her sisters, and bless her
venerable and bereaved husband and the
multitudes who mourn with him in this
irreparable loss. R. M.
