The Ancient and the Modern Ark.

The following figures concerning the
Great Eastern and the ark are of interest
Somebody is comparing the size and cost
of the Great Eastern and N0ah's ark The
cos, of building and launching the Great
eastern was { $50, 900. and this broke the
original company. A new company was
formed. which spent $500. 900 in fitting
and furnishing her. Then this company
failed, and ne company was organized,
with 3 capita Of 500. zoo At the close
Of 1880 this compan; sank S6. us pounds
sterling upon the vessel. thus making her
total cost 81. 703.5 i
Nothing ever built can stand comparison
with the Great Eastern, excepting Noah's
ark, and even this vessel could not match
her The length of the ark was 300
cubits, her breadth 80 cubits. and her
height 80 cubits The cubit of the Scrip
lures according to Bishop Wilkins was
81. 65 inches, and computed into English
measurement. the Ark was 541 feet long
III feet beam. 81 feet depth. and 81. 76.
tons The Great Eastern Is $50 feet long,
S3 feet beam, Is feet depth. and 2S.OJ3

quite overshadowed by the Great Eastern

been very i'll for several years, had expend-
ed all Of her means to pay for medicine.
At last the doctors gave him up and said he
must die. He suffered 30 terribly with
rheumatism that he could not be moved.
One day some one told her about the Mount
Lebanon Shakers. The evidence OF the
curative powers of their Extract of Roots
was so convincing that she pawned the poor
boys clothes to buy bottle Of the remedy
(Siegels SYRUP, but now she feels proud
that she did 30, for ii was the means Of
curing her son. The Shakers say that this
was the result of indigestion and that the
medicine cured the dyspepsia, and that the
