Person May Claim 139,235,017,489,. 534,976 Ancesters. Did you ever stop to think how many male and female ancestors were required to bring you into the world? Let us reason together on this subject, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and see if we can not prove it to be a most curious ao oar, i Gis and talk , about irst, was nm that you should have situches: sade mother—that makes two human beings. Each of them must have had a fathes and a mother—that makes four more human beings. i =“ » each of these four had a father and s mother, making eight more representatives of God’s UJ handiwork. So we go on back to the birth of Christ, or through fifty-six gen- erations in all. The result of such a calculation, which can be made ina few minutes by any school child, will show that 139,235,017,489,534,976 births must have taken place in order to bring you into this werld. Yes, you who read these lines. All this, too, since the beginning of the Christian era, not since the beginning of time, by any means. According to Proctor, if from a single pair for 5,000 years each husband and wife had mar- ried at twenty-one years of age, and there had been no deaths, the popula- tion of the earth would now be 2,199,- 915, followed by 144 ciphers. Verily, the human mind shrinks from contem- plating such immense numbers. Every Gigantic Extinct Birds. Those who have read the story of Sinbad the Sailor, and who has not, will be interested to knew that there is some foundation for the supposed-to-be fabulous stories he told of the roc and its monster eggs, Ornithologists have figured that it was a monster specimen of the Epinoris family of birds, which are known to have formerly lived in Madagascar. The prize takers among the Epinoris stood (according to skele- tons which have been found in guano beds) fraction of twelve feet high, and laid eggs, specimens of which are now in existence, which were as large asa two-gallon jug and had a holding capacity as great as 148 good sized hen’s eggs! The giant mos, which did not become extinct until after Capt. Cook’s visit to New Zealand, was larger in point of weight and bulk, at least, than Sinbad’s roc. The moa was but nine feet high, but he weighed over a thous. and pounds. It was so clumsy that Cook’s sailors had no difficulty in kill- ing several of them with the handspikes which were used about the ship. The great auk, another species of bird now extinct, was not se remarkable for its rize as for the fabulous sum of money now asked and given for specimens of its eggs. In the year 1889 an egg of the great auk sold in London for £225, ‘The Compound-Oxygen Pleasure, “The a craze Abe Boston is the compound-oxygen ink,” said N. W. Floyd, of Springfield, Mass. “There are a half dozen establishments in the Hub that are doing a rushing business in catering to this form of dissipation. They are patronized exclusively by men and women of the highest social po, sition, the women outnumbering the men. The sensation produced by the inhal- ation of compound oxygen is described to me by those who have tried it as ec- static. There is nothing known to the science of medicine or pharmacy that equals its delights. Big quaffs of it that fill the lungs’ air cells are said to set all the nerves of the body a-tingle and the brain in s delicious twirl. The effect lasts all the way from five minutes to an hour, according to the person, and is said to have no appar- ently deleterious results, except a uliar mental collapse, from which @ dissipator doesn’t recover for sev- eral hours. While under the strange influence of the stuff ene feels com- pletely lost to the world and oblivious to everything terrestrial. That is the reason it is called the compound oxygen drunk. Kingsley and a Butterfly. As everybody knows Charles Kings- ley loved well “both man and bird and beast.” This feature in his character was curiously displayed one Sunday in church. He was just about to enter the pulpit to preach his sermon when all of a sudden he disappeared from the view of the congregation. What was amiss? It was soon seen, however, that nothing serioushad happened. Hehad only stooped in search of something on the floor, which, when found, he had taken to the vestry. And what was this something, do you think? An injured butterfly which was fluttering about on the ground. Being unable to fly away owing to its hurt Kingsley was afraid it might be trodden en, and so he had in- terrupted the service of the church antil he had removed the wounded in- cect out of harm’s way, The Refermed Smokers. Two men, both smoking stumps of cigars, met this morning. “IT am sm too much,” one of them said, “and I believe youare. Let's They agreed to it, and threw away their ated Then they talked along: time sbout being men, and how they intended to break away from the habit that was ruining their health and cost- ing so much money. Then thgy got to talking about other matters, and finally one of them said: “Have a cigar?” ‘ The men moved toward a cigar store, selected and lit a cigar, and then the ing, entirely forget ir po reform.—Atchison Globe. | al.
