A statistician has learned that the an- nual aggregate circulation of the papers of the world is calculated to be 12, 900, 900, 900 copies. To grasp any idea of this mag nitude, we may state that it would cover no fewer than 10, 450 square miles of sur face; that 1t is printed to 7s1, 250 tons of paper, and further, that if the number 12, 900, 900, 900, represented, instead of copies, seconds, 1t would take over 3s3 years for them to elapse. In lieu of this ar rangement, we might press and pile them vertically upward to gradually reaching our highest mountains; topping all these and even the highest Alps, the pile would reach the magnificent altitude of 49O, or, in round numbers, 500 miles. Calculating that the average man spends five minutes reading his paper in the day (this Is a very low estimate), we find that the people of the world altogether annually occupy time equivalent to 100, 900 years reading the pa- Record.

Lifting the Burden.

busy now up the QarK lanes or tn1S city, and all through the mountain glens, and down in the quarries where the sunlight has never visited, and amid the rigging, helping to take in another reef before the Caribbean whirlwind. A friend was telling me of an exquisite thing about Seattle, then of Washington territory, now of Washington state. The people of Seattle had raised gen. erous sum of money for the Johnstown sufferers from the food A few days after Seattle was destroyed by fire. l saw it while the whole city was living in tents. In public meeting some one proposed that the money raised for Johnstown be used for the relief of their own city, and the cry was Noi Noi Nol Send the money to Johnstown, and by exclamation the money was so sent Nothing more beautiful or sublime than that. Under the wing of fire that smote Seattle the sympathetic hand, the help ing hand, the mighty hand of Christian relief for people thousands of miles away.
 Why, there are 100, 900 men and wo- men whose one business is to help oth- CTS. Helping hands, inspiring hands, lifting hands, emancipating hands, sav ing hands. Sure enough, those people had wings of faith and wings of prayer and wings of consolation, but "the like ness of the hands of a man was under the wings" There was much sense in that which the robust boatman said when three were in a boat off the coast sv~ I<,~, cko A1.

Wuo10 yOu blt At CSAn ny GO Guc tuuOu6 Ol God and alight in England In one sec ond of time from where you sit it can fly to the throne of God and alght in India It can girdle the earth in a shorter time than you can seal 8 letter, oe clasp belt, or hook an eye. Wings, whether that prayer starts from an in- fAnt's tongue or the trembling lip of 8 oentenarian, rising from the heart of 8 farmers wife standing at the flashing ohurn, or before the hot breath of a country oven. they soar away and pick out of all the shipping of the earth on all tho seas the craft on which her sailor boy Is voyaging. Yea, prayer can fly clear down into the future When the father of Queen Victoria was dying, he asked that the infant Victoria might be brought while he sat up in bed, and the babe was brought, and the father prayed, If this child should live to become queen of England, may she rule in the fear of Godp' Having ended his prayer, he said. "Take the child away" But all who know the history of England for the last 50 years know that the prayer for that infant more than 70 years ago has been answered, and with what emphasis and affection millions of the queens subjects have this day in chapels and cathedrals, on land and sea, implicated, "God save the queen"
 Prayer flies not only across continents, but across centuries If prayer had only feet, it might run here and there and do wonders But it has wings, and they are 6 radiant of plume and as swift to rise or swoop or dart or circle as the cherubim's a wings which swept through Eashiel's widen.

A VERY handsome benefaction to the
bennington Free Library is five volumes
of Larned's History for Ready Refer
ence and Topical Reading" This is a
standard work, and is in fact library in
itself, containing an enormous mass of
interesting and valuable information so
condensed as to be easily assimilated.
Our spirited townsman, W. B. Sheldon,
Esq, is the donor and we hope his exam
pie will be followed by others.
THE Mary H. Loomis benefit concert
given at the First Baptist church Satur-
day evening" Feb. 23d, was grand must
cal success. Financially the success was
not so pronounced, the gross receipts be-
ing a little less than one hundred dollars.
Mr.. A. j. Cooper executed two numbers
on the organ with his usual ability which
were thoroughly enjoyed Miss Ger
trude Dymond of Boston rendered in a
faultless manner the following selections:
'Iu Sevile's Groves" by Van Lennep;
''Se Saran Rose" by Luigi Arditti, and
in place of the ''All Eternity by Masch-
eroni, by request, "The Shadow Dance"
by Meyesbet. The last named brought
out the exquisite c]earness of her voice
to perfection showing wonderful execu-
ton. Miss Dymond will meet with a
cordial reception on her next visit to
Bennington. Mr.. Chas. Bennett, the
celebrated bass, of whom Bennington is
justly proud favored the audience with
the "Storm Fiend" by Roeckel, and for
an encore sang the "Bedowin Love Song"
Mr. Edward G. Bennett gave fine rem
dering of a tenor solo, composed by Chas.
Il. Bennett. He has a remarkably sweet
tenor voice and sang well. Mr.. Louis G..
Smith sang in pleasing manner for the
second number, baritone solo. Prof,
Henri LeCat's rendering of French trag-
edy, was a novel and happy feature in
the programme which was carried out
from first to last without break.
