Every four minutes marks a birth. In
the next two hours after you read this
thirty babies have been born, and twen-
ty deaths will have taken place. Think
of it! the evening paper that records the
births and deaths of the preceding four
and-twenty hours must give 800 separate
items. Verify, its joys and sorrows are a
multitude. London has 1000 miles OF
streets, and if you walked them at the
rate oftwenty miles day yo" would have
to walk almost year, and more than a
year by nearly fifty days, il you should
rest on Sundays. And if you were a
thirsty sort of traveller, end couldn's
pass public house, don't be alarmed
the 1000 miles have fve-and-seventy
miles of public houses; so you need not
think of thirst. In year London folks
swallow down 100000 oxen, 1900, 600
sheep, 200, 900 calves, 800, 900 swine, 5000,
900 head of fowls, 500, 600, 900 pounds of
fish, 5OO,OOO,OOO of oysters, 200, 900, 900
lobsters-is that enough to figure on?
If not there are some million tons OF
canned provisions, no end of fruit and
vegetables, and 50,000,000 bushels OF
wheat. But how they wash all the food
down you might feel glad to know. 1t

sitting on log at the edge of the

a deer, as several hunting parties were
securing the woods at that place. He
had been here since April p and had
fine claim and no contest. He leaves q

1t is not always, perhaps not often.
that an important discovery particularly
benefits the discoverer. The opening OF
the diamond fields of South Africa.
from which $1,000, 900, 900 worth of dia-
monds was taken, was due to the per-
tinacity of man named OReilly, who
was trader among the natives and first
conceived the idea that the country was
rich in diamonds and gold. O'Reilly
himself did not go to the diggings and
did not profit by them. On the con-
trary, the rush to the diamond fields
ruined his trade with the natives, and a
South African correspondent says that
he is now working for his living. There
is probably a moral in this story if we
could only get at it.
