Bebe is supposed to have been the
smallest man who ever lived. He WAS
lorne by peasant Woman in Lorraine
Just 30 years ago. and was called Belle,
because the first few years Of his life he
could ariculate only ''b b." The day Of
his birth Bebe was smaller than his

Ten days afterwsrd he was taken to
the village chur,h to be baptized in his
mothers wooden shoe, became he vas

During the next six months the same
Woaden shoe served as ~ be's crib.
When Bebe vas about 7 years old King
Slanislaus l.esrzynski, Of roland, who
was then living in Lorraine. heard what

nrdered the Child's father TO bring llim

Wrs induced 10 arele to this proposal

Oddities of Great Men.

The greatest men are often affected by
the most trivial circumstances. which have
no apparent connection with the effects they
produce, says the New York Herald. An
old gentleman, of whom we knew some
thing, felt secure against the cramp when
he placed his shoes. on going to bed. so that
the right shoe was on the left of the left
shoe. and the toe of the right next to the
heel of the left. If he did not bring the
right shoe round the other side in that way
he was liable to the cramp. DR.. johnson
used always, in going up Bolt court. to put
one foot upon each stone of the pavement;
if he failed he felt certain the day would be
unlucky. Button. the celebrated naturalist,
never wrote but in full dress. DR.. Routh.
of Oxford. studied in full canonicals. A
celebrated preacher of the last century
could never make sermon with his carriers
on. A great German scholar writes with
his braces off. Reiseg. the German critic,
wrote his commentaries on SOphocles with
pot of porter by his side Schybel lect-
ured at the age of 70, eXtempore in Latin.
with his snuff box constantly IN his hand;
without it he could not get on.

THE FORCE OF GRAVITY.

One of the simplest facts of observation is that
bodies are drawn to the surface of the earth
with power. The attractive force which produces
masses of matter of every kind and at any distance
The earth, in fact the whole solar system, is in
fuenced by this force of gravity. The various
objects upon the earth's surface are not ONLY
powerfully attracted by the mass of the globe,
but, in an infinitely lesser degree, they also at
tract it, And it has been further demonstrated
that they also attract each other. The force of
gravity is proportional to the quantity of matter;
that is il the earth had twice its present mass its
attraction would be doubled, and, if but one.half
its mass its force would be only one-half so great:
and so it is with any body the earth, the force
with which it is attracted increases or diminshes
IN exact proportions to its quantity. If BODY
instead of being allowed to fall, is supported its
tendency to descend is not destroyed. 1t is drawn
sisted and at rest the force takes the shane of
pressure. This downward pressure of bodies is
called their weight. The weight of a BODY is the
force it exerts in consequence of its gravity and
as this force depends quantity of the matter it
is clear that if the mass be doubled the weight
will be doubled if the mass be halved the weight
will be halved. Weights are therefore nothing
more than measures of the force of gravity in
different objects. Thus we discover the close
connection and dependencies of all things. The
same force which controls the mighty system of
celestial orbs, measures quantities of matter in
the daily transactions of business life.

A Thief,S Speech.
