The average returns show that a citizen of the world, on the first appearance in pub lic, weighs about six pounds and a half; a boy baby a little more, and a girl baby a lit tle les?. Some very modest babies hardly turn the scale with two pounds and a half, while other porientious youngsters boast of ten or eleven pounds. When Shylock asked for his "ponndof flesh," he asked for an e quivalent to a little less lhan the sixth or a baby. How the tiny one grows during child hood we need not trace h:rc; but it may be interesting to know that boys and girl's of twelve years of age are nearly equal in weight; fit which limit males are heavier than females of ihe nine age.

The Siecle, of Par:, p'tblVueij an article very interest ng to sportsmen, and states lhat with a very little care many accidents could be avoided. Out of one hundred cases of a double barrelled gun bursting, ninety-five can be traced to defects in the left barrel. The reason is simply that the right barrel is most frequently used and reloaded, perhaps, ten times to the left one being discharged once. Every time the right barrel is discharged the gunpowder in the left is pulverised more or less by the shock, which, therefore, leaves a space between the charge and the wadding by settling. Naturally when the left barrel is discharged it frequently explodes. These accidents can be avoided by sending the ram rod home with one or two smart blows into the non-dischared barrel every time the oth er is re-loaded. Men TTitliout Hearts. We fometimes meet with men who seem to think that any indulgence in an affection ate feeling is weakness. They will return from a journey, and greet their tamilics with a distant dignity, and move among their children with the cold and lofty splendour of an iceberg 6nrrounded by it broken frag ments. There is hardly a more unnatural sight on earth than one of these families without a heart. A Hither hud better extin guish a boy's eyes lhan take away his heart. Who that has experienced the joys of friend ship, and values cympathy and affection, would not rather loose all that is beautiful in nnture'8 scenery than be robbed of the hid den treasures of his heart? Cherish, then, your hearts best affections. Indulge in the warm and gushing emotions of filial, pater nal and fraternal Jove. Muloch.

V hen he arrived before the city, he stop- pedatawell. It was evening, the sun was sinking behind the western horizon all nature seemed tuned in harmony with the sweet cadence of the smiles of heaven.

And, before he had finished his prayer behold a damsel came out of the city with a pitcher npon her shoulder to carry wa ter in. She was very fair to look unon. and a virgin, and the servant V 13 met her. aud asked her for a drink of water, and she said "Drink, my lord." After he hud drunk, she said : "I will draw water for thy camels also' lne servant was amaze 1 to so soon the fulfilment of his prayer. After see the 1 camels had done drinking he gave the damsel a rich geld ring a:id bracelet for her li'ind. Bv this it wauM cccui tli wearing o; au ancient rings v.i'l bracelets is rather custom. Abraham's servant then made tho iu- quiry, aud found that the name of the lovely damsel v:as llebekah, "the daugh ter of Bethuel, the son of Mccah, which she bore unto Nahor.'' He thcu sought lodging in her father's house ; she told him to come and stay. llebekah ran to her parents aud told them what had happened at the well ; and her brother went out immediately and invited them in ; they went; and af ter they had utigirdled their camels and given tuem provender, tucy sat down to eat. Hut the servant said, "I will not eat until I had told mine errand." He then told them he was Abraham's servant, and that the Lord had blessed his master greatly ; that he had flocks aod herd?, and silver and gold, and men and maid-servants, aod camels and asses, and that his master had sent him hither to seek out a damsel to become the wife of his sou Isaac ; and, after, relating what had happened at the well, he asked them for Hebekath. Then they said : "Behold, Hebekah is before thee ; take her and go thy way, and let her be thy master's son's wife as the Lord hath spok en." The servant then bowed himself to the earth and worshipped the Lord; after which he gave Hebekah jewels of silver and jewels of gold, aod raiuieDt, and many precious things to her brother ; and he and the men with him did eat and drink, and tarried all night ; at early dawn, they arose, and he said uuto He bekah's father and mother : "Send roc away unto my master." But her mother said : "Let the damsel abide with us a few days." Then Abraham's servant saiJ : "Hinder me cot, seeing the Lord hath prospered my way."

Doran arose like a bolt, with an in- j dcscrible expression on his face, and in stantly the whole audience cheered, clap ped their hands and stamped their feet in approval. A number of his comrades who were present clasped their arms around his neck and kissed him, and the ladies in the gallery leaned over to look down upon the scene, clapping their hands :md waving their handkerchiefs. At this interesting juncture, Doran's wife entered hurriedly, and, crossing the room toward him, was clasped in his arms and repeatedly and affectionately kissed.

The Russians were amoung tho earliest of modern races to put in practice the system of co operation. It is stated that whole villages have but one occupation, based upon this system, which extends to the large cities as well. It seems that the system was borrowed from the army.

It was from a careful observation of the benefits derived from this system that the co-operative system sprung. ' m ......

To these names may be added a host of others who sought peace and repose iu the cultivatio of their mother earth; the enthusiastic Lafayette, the fiery Haudolph all found an Eldorado of consolation from life's cares and troubles, in the green and verdant lawns that surround their home steads. Dituo Store on W hells. A party from Frankfort went down to Lousville to sec Zoaster last week. After the close of the theatre they took a look at the ele phaut generally. While standing ou the corner of Walnut and Hancock streets, conferring about' the wonders of Louis ville, a street car with colored lights came in sij-ht.

Do you sec those red and blue lights coming up the street?" "Yes, I sec them, but what of that ?" "Why, daru my cats if I am going to stay iu a place that is so sickly that they have to haul their drug stores around ou wheels." Jim left for Frankfort in tho morning: A Goon Junnu ov a Skrmox.
