We inuBt then keep on extondinu theao walla for milea, nay, humlroilH of milea, and Mill we ahall be far short of the roiiuired number. And it Is not until we have extended our imaginary atroot to a diatanca of S,3H0 uiitea that we ahull have presented for InHpoction our 1,000,000,000.000 or colna. Or In liou of this arrangement we may place them tint upon tho ground, forming one continuous line like a long guidon chain with every link In cloae contact. Uut to do this we muat paas over land and sea, mountain and valley, deaert and plain, crossing the equator and roturning around the southern hemi sphere, through the trackleas ocean, re trace our way again across the equator, then still on and on until we again ar rive at our starting point, and when we nave thus passed a golden chatn around the huge bulk of the earth we shall be bnt at the beginning of our task. We must drag this Imaginary chain no leu 7(W time around the globe. If we can further Imagine all thoao rows of links laid closely side by side and every one In contact with its neigh bor, we shall have formed a golden band around the globe just S3 fuet 0 inches wide and this will represent our 1,000, 000,000.000 of coins. Such a chain, If laid in a straight line, would reach a fraction over 18,828,440 miles, the weight of which, If estimated at one-fourth ounce each sovereign, would be 6,970,447 tons ml would require for their transport no leas than 8.828 ships, each with a full cargo of 8,000 tons. Even then there would be a residue of 447 tons, repre senting 64.081,930 sovereigns. For a measure of height let us take a much smaller unit as our measuring rod. The sheets of paper on which The Times Is printed, if laid out flat and firmly pressod together as in a well bound book, would represent a measure of about one-three hundred and thirty third of an Inch in thickness. Let us see how high a dense pile formed by a billion of these thin paper leaves would reach. We must in imagination pile them vertically upward, by degroes reaching to the height of our tallest spires, and plowing these tho pile uiuat still grow higher, topping the Alps and Andes and the highest maks of the Him alayas, and shooting op from thence through the fleecy clonds pass beyond the confines of our attenuated atmos phere and leap up into the blue ether with which the universe is filled, stand ing proudly up far beyond the reach of all terrestrial things still pile on your thousands and millions of thin leaves, for we are only beginning to rear the mighty mass. Add millions on millions of sheets and thousands of miles on these, and still the number will lack its due amount Let ns pause to look at the neat plowed edges of the book before us. Bee how closely lie those thin flakes of paper; how many there are In the mere width of a span, and then turn our eyes in imagina tion npward to our mighty column of accumulated sheets. It now contains its appointed number, and our 1,000,000,000, 000 of sheets of The Times superimposed upon each other and pressed into a com pact mass has reached an altitude of 47, 848 miles! Those who have taken the trouble to follow me thus far will, I think, agree with me that 1,000,000,000,000 is a fearful thing, and that few can appreciate its real value. As for quadrillions and tril lions, they are simply words, mere words, wholly incapable of adequately Impress ing themselves on the human intellect. Sir Henry Bessemer in London Times.

Tht UmiKer Ia Cheap Quna, Things made to look liko guns are sold for as low a figure as $2A, but I want no such "gas pipes" at my shoulder. As tho cheap watch keeps timo in a fashion, so does the cheap gun perform. It will kill birds fairly well for a time If hold straight, but it will not stand continuous use, and it may contain a flaw or flaws In the barrels, which the owners of it may not detect until too lute, When the cheap watch wears out and breaks, no great harm can result, but when a sham gun concludes to spread itaolf well, that Is another story I If I had a fair young son, full of prom ise and with a few ounces of gray mat ter scattered through his Intellect if I took pride in the boy and dreamed of fu ture presidential candidature or high po sition In church or state for him juat about tho last place on the Lord's earth where I'd want to sue him stand would be before, behind or alongaido of one of those infernal machines known as a cheap gun. He might load and fire It many times with no other result than a crack, smoke and perhaps a dead bird or ani mal, and he might also only Are a few times, but once too often, and go single sculling across the river Btyg, in conse quence of his supposed to be sane par ent's criminal folly In giving him a weap on to use which was liable to blow a head or an arm or a few sections of hands off him at a most unexpected and nnfavorable time. Outing. Keeping Him to light. The moat amusing spot in town during inauguration week is the great reception room of the Arlington. You may look around and see more celebrities than yon havo fingers to count them on, but the sight of the great and mighty is not nearly so amusing as that of the large number of leaner people who want to keep them in sight. The office seeker and the news gatherer are equally afraid that something will escape them. "Where Is X Y V asked one ef the former class of a very great man's friond. "He's up stairs. Do you want to see him?" amiably replied the other. "Oh, no, I had better not just yet," replied the aspirant, "but I feel easier in my mind when I know juat whore he U."-Kate Field's Washington. How One Girl Wa Itemembered. One of the older teachers at Mount Holyoke college remembers Miss Mary Wilklns, who was among the pupils for a year when she first came. "I can t recall very much about hor, she said in answer to eager questioning from some of the undergraduates. "She sat at my table, and it was her work as a freshman to remove the platters before dessert. She was very handy about that." "Think," says the girl who tells this story, "of the wonderful Miss Wilklns borne In mind for nearly 20 years only for her handy wuy of taking a platter off the table." New York Times. Two Kiplanttlona of Dimples, According to an old legend the baby's dimples mark the spots where angels' fingers touched the child In bearing It from heaven to earth, but unrornantic doctors have a different explanation. They say that dimples probably result from defective development of a muscle. When the muscle is called Into use, the defective portion faila to respond, and a hollow is left into which tho flesh and skin, of th6 check, for example, fall, and thus the dimple is formed.

" 'An that, neighbor,' observed my rural acquaintance, 'is what I mean by coverin up the beast.'" New York Her ald. A I.murlous Sliantjr, If the intelligent foreigner who comes to New York Includes Hhnntytown in his round of observation, it must sur- trise him to see what n difference exists etween the rude huts of that district and the cabins of the very poor In Great Britain and France. The latter are built to lost, while the New York shanty is only expected to tide over a period of four or five years; but, rude as It Is with out, the shanty is often the superior of the European cottage in its furnishing, Well made furniture, carpets, stoves and wall paper are common to the shan ty, while the peasant across the sea may have to content himself with an earthen floor and bed built into the frame work of the house. On a recent evening reporter saw a shanty that could not have cost $100. It had lace curtains at the windows, portieres worth about $10, framed pictures on the walls, and was lighted by a piano lamp with a silk hade. New York Sua A Popular Mjrih. The time worn "million stamps" lie till survives and is likely to prove Im mortal. People all over tho country are trying to accumulate 1,008,000 canceled postage stamps, in the belief that a standing offer is made by the govern ment or by somebody of a big prize for such a collection. Some think that $10, 000 Is the sum guaranteed, while others imagine that the reward is the endow ment of a permanent bed in a hospital. The popular notion on this subject be ing somewhat undefined, letters asking about it are constantly received at the jiostofflee department. But no denials serve to destroy the widespread faith In this strange chimera. Washington Let ter. The t'ruclfla of tonli XVI. It has often been wondered what had become of the crucifix used by the Abbe Edgeworth at the execution of Louis XVI. Our Purls correspondent says it is now in tne osaesaion or the parish priest of St. Medard do Guiaiore, to whom it was given by one of his flock. a Mme. d'Esptlat, when she was dy ing. She enjoined him never to part with it because it was a sacred rello, and she expected that Louis, the martyr, would one clay figure In tne calendar of the church along with his ancestor, St. Louis. The crucifix, with the Christ on it, is in old carved ivory and was prob ably made at Dieppe. London News, Ilottoa English. George Why so gloomy? John I am desperately in love with a Boston girl, and she said something last night that fills me with alternate hope and despair, because I don't know what he meant.
