The highest monument in the world
to-day is the Washington monument.
1t has been observed that on rocky
road the tires of wheels wear rounding,
on clay road fiat, while in sand they
cut out in the centre.
A Swiss scientist estimates that in 1870
there will be 5000, 900, 600 people in the
world speaking English, 124, 900, 900
German and 90, 800, 900 French.
King Ludwig's heart has been enclosed
in silver urn and turned over to the
monks of Altotting in Bavaria. These
monks are taking care of the hearts of a
long line of kings.
There is, of course, no disputing the
truth of a thing that can be proved by
mathematical demonstration. For in
stance, this proposition advanced by a
professor of mathematics to his pupils
''It is evident that if it takes one brick
layer twelve days to erect wall of given
dimentions, twelve bricklayers ought to
do the work in one day, 2SS in an hour,
II, $50 in a mintue, and I, ,096, 500 brick
layers in a single second.
The United States has been the richest
gold and silver producing country in the
world, though but very little of the pre-
cious metals were found here before the
discovery of gold in California in 1S4S.
The chief product was in the Southern
States. The total amount of gold mined
in these States from the discovery of the
metal until 1878 was $40, 000 900. From
1S4S until 1878 the total value of the
gold product of the United States was
81, PAL, 900, 900.
Before the introduction of stamped
money in Rome, all sums were reckoned
by the pound weight, and not by the
number of pieces, whence the person who
weighed out the amount for any purchase
was termed libripen, the weighman. But
the name was retained in after times, al
though the custom from which it arose
had long fallen into disuse, to designate
the person who reckoned up and distrib-
uted their pay to the soldiers, whom we
might term the quartermaster of a regi-
ment.
The great plague broke out in London
! during the reign of Charles H., and the
physicians did not know how to treat it.
When the plague came into house the
people used to mark red cross upon the
door, and write: Lord have mercy upon
u.s." The shops were shut up and the
whole city desolate. The following year,
1866, the great fire broke out The whole
city from the Tower to the Temple was
destroyed, and st. Pauts Cathedral and
innumerable churches were reduced to
ashes. 1t burnt out the plague, however,
by destroying many old, dirty and dis
ease-breeding buildings.

found the signs an interesting feature
on Dutch streets, says a letter from
Holland. It was some time before l
understood what it meant when read {:
"Fire and water for SALE" It seems the
poorer people make no fires, but buy
boiling water and redhot turf with
which to prepare their tea and coffee. If
a baby is born, small placard of red
satin and white lace is hung upon the
door; il some one Is sick, his symptoms
are daily recorded on little bulletin
board affixed to the house, thus saving
those interested the trouble of making
and replying to inquiries.
A shop is known by big painted
Moor's head, and the arrival of fresh
herrings is announced by the hanging
out of large gilded crown decorated
with box leaves. The country houses,

retired gentleman seems anxious that all
the world should know of his content.

of his house such sentiments as these

Washington at Yorktown.

One who was in the army at the time
relates an incident that came under his
notice:
"a considerable cannonading from the
enemy; one shot killed three men, and
mortally wounded another. While the
Rev. Mr.. Evans, our chaplain, was
standing near the commander-in-ch chief,
shot struck the ground so near as to
cover his hat with sand. Being much,
agitated, he took off his hat, and said ::
See here, Generalp MIR. Evans re-
piled his excellency, with his usual conf
posure, you'd better carry that home
and show it to your wife and children. .'"I
Indeed it seemed to many that Wash
ington bore charmed life, and it was
often said that he was under the special
Protection of God. He was fearless, and
constantly exposed to danger, but his
constant escapes made him cool and self
possessed and the admiration of his men, !
lie was excited by the events which werel
hurrying the war to the close, and hel
watched with intent earnestness the sev-l
eral assaults which were made on the
works. Once he had dismounted and
was standing by Generals Knox and
Lincoln at the grand battery. 1t was
not safe place, for, though they were
behind fortification, it was quite posi-
BILE for shot to enter the opening through
which they were looking. One of his
aids, growing nervous, begged him to
leave, for the place was very much ex-
posed.
''If you think So, said Washington,
'you are at liberty to step back" Pres

rolling off, fell at Washington's feet
General Knox seized him by the arm.
"Nly dear General, said he, "we can't
spare you yet"
It's spent ball." replied Washing
ton, coolly. ''No harm is done" lie
watched the action until the redoubts
which his men had been assaulting were
taken; then he drew a long breath of re-
lief and turned to Knox.
"The work is done, " he said emphatic
ally; 'and well done. "-.St. Nicholas.

A Mnrmnid.

The fishermen of Gabarus, says the
North Sydney (Nova SCOTIA Herald,
have been excited over the appearance
of a mermaid seen in the waters by some
fishermen few days ago. While MIR.
Bagnell, accompanied by several fisher
men, was out in boat they observed,
floating on the surface Of the water a
few yards from the boat, what they sup
posed to be corpse. Approaching it
for the purpose Of taking it ashore for
burial, they observed it to move, when.
to their great surprise, it turned around
in sitting position and looked at them
and disappeared A few moments after
it appeared at the surface and again
looked toward them, after which it dis
appeared altogether. The face, head,
shoulders and arms resembled those of a
human being, but the lower extremities
had the appearance of fish. The back
of its head was covered with long dark
hair resembling horses name. The
arms were shaped exactly like human
beings, except that the fingers on the
hands we're very long. The color of the
SKIN was not unlike that of human
being There is no doubt that the mys-
terious stranger is what is known as a
mermaid, and the first seen in Cape Bre-
ton waters.
