Here is something which will prove
of much interest to many; it was
gathered up by widow lady aged 65
years: "The Bible contains 1856, ,4S9
letters; SlO,697 words; 31,l72 verses;
l,l89 chapters; 66 books. The word
and occurs 46, ,227 times; Lord, 1854:
reverend only once, and that in the
ll1th Psalm. The 9th verse of the
7th chapter of Ezra contains the
alphabet. The 10Th chapter of the I'd
book of Kings and the 37th chapter of
Isaiah are alike. The first man re-
corded as buried in a coffin was
Joseph, 50th chapter of Genesis and
26th verse. Nowhere but in the 1st
chapter of Timothy is the word grand
mother mentioned. Two particularly
fine chapters to read you will find are
the I'd of Joel and the Goth of Acts.
There is no name or word of more
than six syllables in the Holy Bible. "

THE CENsUs.-The total value of all
species of property in the United States,
real and personal, ETC., is put down in
round numbers, by the last census, at
$60,00O,0 100000, nearly eighteen billion
less than the cost of Solomon's Temple.
Just think of it! 1t is enough to tax
the credulity of anyone, that the cost of
a single building in Jerusalem is more
than the assessed value of the property
of a nation extending from ocean to
ocean, from the St. Lawrence to the
Gulf of Mexico, and containing 5OOOO,-
900 of people, many of whom are worth
from one to hundred million Of dol
lars.-[ Gretna Courier.

HOWard'S Method of Artificial
Respiration.

We think it advisable at this season,
says the Canadian Journal Of Medical
Science, to direct attention to the fol-
lowing rules for resuscitating the par
tally drowned:
1. Instantly turn patient downward,
with large firm roll of clothing under
stomach and chest. Place one of his
arms under his forehead, so as to keep
his mouth off the ground. Press with
all your weight two or three times, for
four or five seconds each time, upon
patients back, so that the water is
pressed out OF lungs and stomach, and
drains freely ont Of mouth. Then,
2. Quickly turn patient, face upward,
with roll OF clothing under back, lust
below shoulder blades, and make the
head hang back as low as possible,
Place patients hands above his head.
Kneel with patients hips between your
knees, and fix your elbows firmly against
your hips. Now, grasping lower part
OF patients naked chest, squeeze his
two sides together, pressing gradually
forward with all your weight, for about
three sstonds, until your mouth is near
ly over mouth of patient; then .with a
push, suddenly jerk yourself back: Rest
about these seconds; then begin again.
repeating these bellows blowing move
ments with petSect regularity, SO that
foul air may beYpreIsed. out and pure
air be drawn int6sAep, 3, about eight or
ten times minute, Somat least an hour,
or until the patient bQoothes naturallyx

1t is we'll known that the very fee
blest electric currents produce audible
sounds in the telephone, which is more
sensitive to weak currents than the
most delicate galvanometer. NJ. Pellat
lately declared that the heat necessary
to warm kilogramme 1.-TWO and
quarter pounds) of water one degree, if
converted properly into the energy of
electric currents, would suffice to pro-
duce in telephone an audible sound
for ten thousand years continuously.
Experiments by P. Hogan show that
calomel may be decomposed in the hui
man body with the formation Of the
dangerous poison corrosive sublimate.
The precision Of modern engineering
is forcibly illustrated by the recently
accomplished feat Of picking up a long
unused ocean cable from depth Of two
thousand fathoms. The scientific en-
gineering which locates fault with so
much exactness and SO readily finds a
mere thread two miles under the sea
must add much to the security and
value Of ocean telegraph property.

A leafy background, two noble trees,
a hammock swinging beneath, and she
on whom your heart is fixed lazily
swinging in the same, is a very pretty
picture, young man, very pretty, and
we don't blame you being attracted by
magnet of such wondrous power.
But consider if your means will enable
you to keep that picture all your days,
or whether in the coming time it will
not be supplanted by chrome of a
wornout, jaded woman frying dough-
nuts over hot fire in the middle Of
hot summer day. The two pictures are
intimately connected.-[Samuel j. Til
