Counting q Billion.

Johnnie" said a father to his hand
some young son one evening as they
were sitting together, "can you count
billionP"
Certainly. papa; that's no great
feat" was the reply.
"Do you know how many make a
billion?" the father next queried.
"NOt exactly; but l will see what
Webster says in his dictionary. Here
it is-'A million of millions; as many
millions as there are units in mil
lion"
"Now, my son, this is very large
number, and do you think you can
count it?''
Certainly l cam
"HOw long do you think it would
take you if you do nothing else but
count?
Perhaps all day, or easily in two
days" replied the son.
Take your slate and pencil and let
us make little calculation. As your
tongue is very nimble. l will allow that
you can count two hundred a minute.
How many will this give you in an
hour?" asked the father.
"Why, only twelve thousand"
"And how many in twenty-four
hourS?'
"Only two hundred and eighty thou
sand, >" replied the boy.
"This tells you that two days are not
enough, even if you count without
eating or sleeping, for it would only
give You six hundred and seventy-six
thousand, which is very far short of a
million, you see.'
Give me whole year and l will
count it, said the son.
IF you do" said the good-natured
father, with Il twinkle in his eye, 81
will give you hundred pounds, and
take you to France and Italy next
summer. Come, use your pencil again,
and see how far year will carry you
towards the billion, allowing that you
work three hundred and sixty-five days,
and twenty-four hours each day. Null
tiply two hundred and eighty-eight
thousand counted in day, by three
hundred and sixty-fve, and what result
will you have?"
"Why. papa, only one hundred and
five million, one hundred and twenty
thousand. give it up, for l believe
could not count it in my whole life
time"
"This is very probable, my son; but
now you are at it keep up the caIcula-
tion, and find out how long it would
take to count billion. Be careful in
your multiplications and additions, for
a small mistake where the figures are
so many will make great difference
in the result. l will look over you.
You have made the calculation, and
what result have you?"
Perfectly amazing! To count a
million times a million would most Ger
tainly take nint thousand five hundred
and twelve years, twenty-four days,
five hours and twenty minutes, at the
rate Of two hundred every minute" -

Once Mouse, Frog and Little Red Hen
Together kept a house;

And sometimes hunt the food.

And scarcely ops ming his sleepy eyes,
Frog made the same reply.
The little Red Hen said never word,
Buta roaring FIRE she made;
And while the bread was baking brown,
"Whol Get the table?" che said.
"Not l." said the sleepy Frog, with yawn;
"Not l." said the Mouse again.
So the table she set, and the bread put on
"Who'll eat the breadf" said the Hen.

decided in favor of the lawyers, and the
