No Scarcity Of Salt.

1t is said on the best authority that
30,0O0,0O0 bushelsot salt are consumed in
this country. The average American
gets away with fifty pounds of salt every
year. The quantity taken at time is so
small that person hardly notices it, but
a,year's consumption of salt by one person
is almost bushel. An Englishmau gets
along on twenty two pounds q year and
in France an ordinary man swallows
eighteen pounds between New Years day
and December. If calculations amount to
anything there is no danger of scarcity
of the saline, article, for famous stats.
tician has declared that if all the salt in
the ocean were piled together, it would
make bulk equal to 30,00O,OO0 cubic
miles. He never saw all this salt, but be
says it is there, and all that need be done
is to get it safely ashore.-Carreat Litera-
