Size of London.
If any one were to .walk- one way I
through all the streets of London, he
would be obliged to go a distance of
2,600 miles, or as far as it is across the
American continent from New York to
San Francisco. The vast body of citi-
zens, some so rich that they can never
count their money, and some so poor
that they never have any to count, eat
every year 400,000 oxen, 1,500,000
chickens and game birds, not to speak
of calves, hogs and. different kinds of
fish. They consume 500,000,000 oysters,
which,though it seems like a large num-
ber, would only give, if equally divided
among all the people, one oyster every
third day to each person. There are
also 300,000 servants in London -enough
people to make a large city; but as this
gives only one servant to each dozen citi-
zens,it is quite evident thetas great many
of the people must wait on themselves.
Things are very unequally divided in
London, and I have no doubt that, in
stead of there being one servant to
twelve persons, some of the richlords
and ladies have twelve servants apiece.

Some "Catch Questions."
There exists, floating about the world's
verbal form, and occasionally even ap-
pearing in print, says " Temple Bar," a
certain class of propositions or queries,
of which the object is to puzzle the wits
of the un wary listener, or to beguile
him into giving an absurd reply. Many
of these are very old, and some are ex-
cellent. Instances will readily occur.
Who, for example, has not, at some
period of his existence, been asked the
following question: "If a goose weighs
ten pounds and a half its own weight,
what is the weight of the goose?" And
who has not been tempted to reply on
the instant,fif teen pounds ?-the correct
answer being, of course, twenty pounds.
Indeed, it is astonishing what a very
simple query will sometime catch a wise
man napping; even the following have
been known to succeed:
" How many days would it take to
cut up a piece of cloth 50 yards long,
one yard being cut off every day?"
Or again :
"A snail climbing up a post twenty
feet high, ascends five feet every day,
and. slips down four feet every night.
How long will the snail take to reach
the top of the post ?"
Or again:
"A wise man having a window one
yard high and one yard wide, and re-
quiring more light, enlarged his window
to twice its former size; yet the window
was still only one yard high and one
yard wide. How was this done ?"
This is a catch question in geometry,
as the preceding were catch questions
in arithmetic- the window being dia-
mond shaped at first, and afterwards
made square. As to the two former,
perhaps It is scarcely necessary serious-
ly to point out the answer to the first is
not fifty days, but forty-nine; and to
the second, not twenty days, but sixteen
-since the snail who gains one foot
each day or fifteen days, climbs on the
sixteenth day to the top of the pole,and
there remains.
Such examples are plentiful, and oc-
casionally both curious and amusing.
But the purpose of the following paper
is to illustrate a class of problems of
rather a different kind. There are cer-
tain problems which are in no way catch
questions (any problem involving a mere
verbal quibble is of course out of court
by its own innate vileness), and which
though at first sight extremely simple,
requires considerable ingenuity to arrive
at a correct result. Take for example
the following:
man walks around a pole, on the
top of which is a monkey. As the man
moves, the monkey turns on the top of
pple BO as still to keep face to face with
the man. Query: When the man has
gone round the pole, has he, or has he
not, gone round the monkey ?"
The answer which will occur at first
sight to most persons is that the man
has not gone round the monkey, since
be has never been behind it. The cor-
rect answer, however, as decided. by
"Knowledge," in the pages of which
this momentous question has been
argued, is that the man has gone round
the monkey in going round the pole.
The following has not, so far as the
writer is aware, hitherto appeared in
irint: "A train standing on an incline
is just kept stationary by an engine
'which is not sufficiently powerful to
draw it up the incline. A second engine
of the same power as the first is then
rought up to assist by pushing the
train from behind, and the two engines
together take the train up the incline.
Suppose the carriages be linked togeth-
er by loose chains, so that when the en-
gine in front is acting the chains are
stretched and the buffers between the
carriages are separated, then, when the
train is moving under the action of two
engines, the buffers must be either to -
'ether or apart. Which are they? If
they are apart, the engine behind the
train is evidently doing no work. If
they are together, then the engine in
front is doing none. But neither engine
alone can move the train. Why, then,
does the train move ?"
The following was once asked at a
university wine party by a now well-
known senior wrangler: "Suppose
three snakes each of which is swallow-
ing another by the tail,so that the three
form a circle -then, as the swallowing
process continues, the circle evidently
grows smaller and smaller. Now, if
they thus continue to swallow each
other, what will eventually become of
the snakes V'
Of course, it is clear that" either the
swallowing process must stop some-
where or that the snakes will vanish
down each other's throats. At what
point, then, will the swallowing cease?
If the reader find i himself ready 'on the
spot with a clear and precise answer to
this question he will have proved him-
self of a readier wit than the guests of
the above mentioned wine party. A
little consideration, however, will prob-
ably be sufficient to clear up the mys-
tery, and, like the preceding enigma of
the railway, the problem may safely be
left to the examination of the ingenious.
Asparagus Beds.
For a small garden, where one has to
do all his own work and little time for
thet, there is nothing easier to manage
than an asparagus bed. Once made it
will last a life time.
Many people dread to think about
asparagus beds, because of what the
books say. The soil has to be dug out
three feet deep; brick -bats bones and
all sorts of things have to be put in the
bottom manure by the eartload has to
be bought.; and labor enough, not to
say salt and notions enough to ruin a
moderabipurse,are essentials to admen.
But the market -gardener does none of
these things. He plows the ground and
prepares it much as he would for a crop
of wheat, and drops the roots in the
plow furrows as he would drop pota-
toes. Some put the roots deeper than
they would potatoes, not because the
depth is of any good to the roots, but
because they can plow and harrow over
them in the spring, and thus easily de-
stroy weeds and grass that grow through -
while the plants are grovsing in the fall.
For garden -culture, the roots need not
be so deep, though they may be put
down so as to allow of a forking over in
the spring. The ground may be prepar-
ed as if for cabbage.

A Philanthropic Couple.
One of the conspicuous women of the
century has recently died in Paais, leav-
ing behind her a memory dear to all the
people of Erance. In Mme. Boucicaut
we see a rare combination of qualities,
for she was a most remarkable and suc-
cessful business woman, as well as a ju-
dicious and benevolent distributor of her
vast wealth. How frequently must one
deplore that the money getting faculty
is so closely allied to the miserly instinct.
But here is a woman whose large,fortune
is the result of her oWn and her hus-
band's energy, perspieacity, and thrift,
glad that in her hands lies the power to
help those struggling with the same
diffi,ulties which sukrounded her early
life. For ten years she and, Mr. Aris-
tide Boucicaut were faithfal clerks in a
small shop in Paris. Beiaig kindred
spirits they married, bought the little
business, and- steaeily imProved and
enlarged it, step by step, until Au Bon
Marche was the grand result. To-
gether they planned, together executed
the werk, and together expended the
enormous income. Upon the death of
her husband, ten years ago, Mine.
Boucicaut assulned sole direction of the
businees, and redoubled her anxiety and
generous care for those whom she could
assist. The Nation, :quoting from Le
Temps, speak of "this blending of
worldly wisdom and other worldly'
wisdon, this combination of intelligence
of the head and of the heart,"
She successfully_ solved one perplex-
ing labor problem by presenting thirty
of her faithful and trusted employes
with shares in the Bon Marche, to the
value of $1,500,000, thus ensuring them
a personal interest in the welfare of the
business. To this Societe Civilie du
Bon Marche she has bequeathed the
whole business, buildings, and real
estate, estimated at $12,000,000.
The Saturday Review says :
" Her will reads like something out
of a fairy tale. Not one of her 3,870
employes has been left unprovided for,
the smallest legacy io each of them
being $200. In order to prove that, al-
though a pious Catholic, she was no
bigot, she has bequeathed $60,000 to the
Archbishop of Paris, and sums varying
between $5,000 and $20,000 to the
heads of all Protestant and Jewish
communities in Paris, Nearly $10,000,-
000 has she willed for the building and
endowment of asylums, schools, hospi-
tals, and various other philanthropic
institutions -even those for the benefit
of poor artists, journalists, and, printers
not being forgotten."
Her ample provision for others in-
cluding generous gifts to her family and
connections, and to libraries, galleries
of art, and museums,, where are dis-
tributed some of the rare treasures
gathered in her beautiful home at
Chamerande, near EtampeS. A costly
bridge over the Saone, in her native
town to provide a more direct road to
market, is one of the benefactions call-
ing down daily blessings on the memory
of Mtne. Boucicaute "The greatest,
French poet of the eentury is said to
have written under Carolus Duran's
noble portrpit of •her, these words -
La force et la bonte'-surely a fitting
epitaph for one so worthy of esteem and
admiration."
Consumption of Fruits.
. The consumption ofjfruits of all kinds
in the United States ia. enormous. While
it is so great there sometimes comes the
fear that there will ble an over produc-
tion, which may proVe true in the case
of some varielties of fruit,but which will
not be wp with .others. There -is a large
demand for apricots,and with the favor-
able conditions of growth 'afforded by
California the demand is likely to be
satisfied. In a recent address of Judge
Blackwocid before the California State
Horticultural Society,he stated that the
estimate for the crop of apricots in two
I counties was almost twenty thousand
1- tons. This looks like an over -produc-
tion of so profitable a crop. Then take
' the ease of prunes. , It is said that the
importation of the dried fruit into the
country last year was sixty million
pounds. This ought not to be, so long
as eur sister state is capable of produc-
ing the fruit fully equal or superior to
any foreign grown. With the facilities
offored for the production of semi -tropical
fruits,those sections of the country that
are suited should, by the growing of
superior fruit; endeavor to meet the
question of supply by driving all that is
inferior out of the market. Fruit -grow-
ing will ultimately come to that point.
The Power of Saying Nothing.
BY AMELIA E. BARR.
A foolish wit once entered a Friends'
meeting -house, and, taking a raspberry
tart from his pocket, cried out, " This
is for the one who speaks first."
"Young man," began a venerable
Quaker-" Ah ! the tart is yours, sir,"
was the instant reply. This is a good.
example of the value of saying nothing ;
for ifeno one had answered the imper-
tinence,the congregation would not have
been made to look foolish, and the
tables would have been completely turn-
ed upon the intruding buffoon.
The capacity for saying nothing is a
great power. Solomon estimates the
man who " uttbreth all his mind "as a
fool; and there is no doubt that the
man who cannot keep his own counsel
will let everything else slip through his
fingers. I/ is this power which gives
the Scotch their national reputation for
being " cannie " and cautious. "They
willna tell a lee ;" but they will render
it next to impossible to discover any-
thing they wish to conceal '• and thus
they make of their ability to keep quiet
perative shield to their every day
life.
N.a
In the household this power is better
than the gift of tongues in all those little
domestic disputes in which not even the
soft answer is so good as no answer at
all. Again, how gracious is that silence
which understands times and seasons,
which knows that early in the morning,
when all the load of the day 'lies on the
husband's shoulders, even a kind and
cheerful man is apt to be preoccupied
and quiet. Then even words of endear-
ment do not always "fit the mood," and
a wise wife will know how to refrain
from her own little anxieties and
worries, will let the breadwinner gather
himself together in peace and quietness
for the day's struggle quite sure that as
the burden of the day lifts he will re-
member her forbearance and her peculiar
wants in the kindliest manner.
Often, too, there will be days when
the burden does not lift; when he will
come home at night weary and heavy
laden with business" cares and anxieties.
Then to compel him to " talk over"
silly trifles, or even household plans, the
carrying out of which appears to him
almost impossible, while grave interests
are hanging on the slenderest hopes, is a
kind of slow torture which no wife not
thoroughly selfish and unreasonable will
inflict.
One of the hardest and bitterest trials
of domestic silence is keeping quiet and
saying nothing under injustice and mis-
apprehension because the good of others
demands it. Nevertheless, we may re-
member that God rights those who keep
silence, and brings out their righteous-
ness as the light and their judgment as
the noonday.
There is such a thing in domestic life
as holding the tongue out of pure spite ;
preserving day after day a dogged,
sullen silence, impervious to all offers of
reconciliation or regret or kindness.
Such a condition is one of the gravest
spiritual danger; for the soul is subject
to malignant diseases as well as the
body, and this is one of them. The man
or woman capable of such endurance in
evil is possessed by some dumb devil
which can only be driven out by the
grace of God.
The power of saying nothing in our
business life is one whose value it is hard
to estimate. We have all heard what
Lord Thurlow's awful nod did for his
-.advancement. How many medical re-
putations have been built up on the
ability to look wise and say nothing
The same is true in. all professions for
people are sure to give the silent people
credit for far more intelligence than
they really possess.
-The Wingham Advance says that a
number of the Wingham friends of Mr.
Geo. Moffatt, of Turnberry, assembled
at his beautiful new brick residence
Tuesday evening to spend a few hours,
the occasion being the anniversary of
Mr. Moffatt's fifty first birthday. An
epicure would have been fully satisfied
with the bountiful repast, including
oysters, that was prepared by Mrs.
Moffatt for those present. A very
pleasant time was had in recitations and
tatngs. We voice the sentiments of the
rest o?f those present in hoping that Mr.
Mofft.\tt may be spared to enjoy many
more birthdays.
-The two suits which arose out of
the rescue of the barge Norris last fall
were tried before Judge Toms at Gode-
rich on Tuesday and Wednesday last
week, a large number of witnesses being
heard. The claims were for $200 for
Captain Babb and his crew for their
services, and $1,400 J for the service of
the tug Onaping, which picked up the
wreck and brought it to the harbor.
Messrs. C. Seager and E. N. Lewis_ ap-
peared for the claimants, Captain Babb
and Mr. Charlton, the cm ner of the
tug, while Mr. 0 -arrow conducted the
defence for Mr. Miller, of Bay City, the
owner of the lumber which formed the
cargo. Judge Toms awarded $50 as
compensation to Captain Babb and his
men and $350 as the value of the tug's
services. The latter sum is about the
figure for 2 days' work of the tug,,which
is all the time she was engaged, and as
the claimants are allowed the costs of
one of the suits, the decision may be
regarded as a very fair one.
Thankful.
Some time ago being very greatly troubled
with colds and coughing, I went to the drug
store and got Hagyard's Pectoral Balsam. In a
short time I was well, have found it a sure
cure and am thankful that I used it, and now
would not be without it. 'E. A. Schaefer,
