out, one railway traveller is killed In
France for each 1000. 900, 900 kilome-
ters (sbout 994 900. 900 miles) run. which
is equal to 10000 times the length of
the voyage around the world. This ex-
cursion, the computer adds, would last
during 3.044 years travelling dA. md
night at the rate OF sixty kilometers (s7
% miles) per hour. Allowing sixty years
to be the average lifetime In store for
healthy man, it follows that before he
could be killed by railway ac ,ident
according to the law of probabilities he
would have dad . natural death fifty
times.

A Washington Story.

The following is from q Washington
letter to the Philadelphia Times t:
From what you have heard Of our
aesthetic society know you will be
willing to believe almost anything of it.
Yet an incident of the week is so extra
ordinary that it is doubtful whether the
outside, and of course vulgar, world
can comprehend or appreciate. One of
our society women lost member of her
family by death, the other day, a pug
dog. An extensive preparation for
funeral occurred, and the OBJ.
sequies followed in due course
after the fashion laid down by custom
for civilized humanity. 1 do not know
whether the services of a preacher were
called into requisition or not, but as all
the other funeral conditions were full
filled it is very probable. The coffin in
which the remains of Mr.. or Miss las the
case may be) Pug were exposed for the
last gaze of the grief-stricken members
of the family was of the regulation pat.
tern with silver handles. The hearse
was white, emblematic OF the purity
of character of the diseased, and
was managed by a frst.class un-
dertaker, who wore the proper
emblems of respect usually consid-
cred necessary in ceremonies OF this
kind. There was respectable train of
carriages to make up the funeral cor
tege, which proceeded to the cemetery
in solemn order, and there the body of
Mr.. or Miss las the case may be) Pug
was inferred in the family lot with ap-
propriate ceremonies.
Thus far everything went smoothly
enough, and had not some sensitive
people who had relatives and friends
buried in this cemetery raised a row
about it the outside and vulgar world
would have been none the wiser.
As it was, the sexton was called to swift
account for having granted a burial
certifio ate.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

What makes life dreary is the want OF
motive.
To see what is right and not do it is
want of courage.
No man was ever written out OF repu-
tation but by himself.
Recollection is the only paradise from
which we cannot be turned out.
II you wish to remove avarice you
must remove its mother--luxury.
Charity and personal force are the
only investments worth anything.
We carry all our neighbors' crimes in
the light and throw all our own over
our shoulder.
Pleasure is the mere accident OF our
being and work its natural and most
holy necessity.
There are none 80 low but they have
their triumphs- Small successes suffice
for small souls.
It is in general more profitable to
reckon up our defects than to boast OF
our attainments.
Tourn lsIne rasser ana sIrKen nowei
of life; age is the full corn, ripe and
solid in the ear.
Education begins the gentleman, but
reading, good company and reflection
must finish him.
Without the virtue of humility one
can neither be honest in poverty nor
contented in abundance.
As concerns the quantity of what is
to be read, there is a single rule-read
much, but not many works.
The best way to discipline ones heart
against scandal is to believe all stories
false which ought not to be true.
A memory without blot or contamins-
tion is an exquisite treasure and an in.
exhaustible source Of pure refreshment.

Orange In.eCtS.

When dish of oranges is seen on
the table for dessert, the fact is hardly
realized that in all probability their
surface is the habitat OF an insect of the
Coccus family. This tiny creature is
found on the orange skin in every stage
OF transformation, from the egg to the
perfect insect, during the winter months,
instead of remaining dormant in the
cold weather, as is the case with most
of the insect tribe. 1t would hardly be
possible to find 81. Michael's or Tan
gerine orange that had not hundreds of
these little creatures in various stages
of development on its surface. Lemons,
too, are frequently covered. Upon in
spection, the skin of an orange will be
found to be dotted over with brownish
scarlet spots of various sizes. These
specks can be easily removed by q
needle and when placed under a
microscope an interesting scene is pre-
sented, consisting of large number of
