all pushing and driving to words.

Captain Moreland begged him to step down into his cabin, and there the General thanked him with great warmth and agita- tion for his humanity. ‘We will follow your advice at once,’ said he. ‘Is there anything I can offer you, without offence ?’

‘Wal,’ drawled the Yankee, ‘I guees not. susiness an’ sentiment won’t mix nohow, Business tovk me to the island, sentiment brought me here. Ill take a shake-hand all around; and if y’bave got live fowls to spare, ’ll be obliged to you for a couple, fou see i'm colomzing that darned island; an’ sowing it with grain an’ Ottaheitans, an’ niggers, an’ Irishmen, an’ all the cream o creation: and I'd be glad of a couple o’ Dorkins to crow the lazy varmint up.’ | This very moderate request was heartily complied with, and the acclamation and cheers of the crew followed this strange character to his schooner, at which his eye glistened and twinkled with quiet satisfac- tion, but he made it a puint of honor not to move a muscle.

Before he could get under way, the ‘Springbok’ took a circuit, and, passing within a handred yards of him, fired a gun to leeward by way of a compliment, seta cloud of canvass, and tore through the water at her highest speed. Outside the port of Valparaiso she fell in with Skinflint, and found him not quite so black as he was painted. The old fellow showed some parental feeling, produced the bag at once to General Rolleston, and assured him a wearied duck had come on board, and his wife had detached the writing.

They took in coal, and then ran west- watd once more, every heart beating high with confident hope.

Attainment of Stature. PROGRESS OF THE GROWTH OF THE SEXES IN GREAT BRITAIN,

The investigations of the anthropo- metricof the British Association have made more or less clear several interes- ting facts respecting the growth of the two sexes inthe British Isles. The period of most rapil growth is from birth up to five years of age, and then both sexes grow alke, the girls being a little shorter and lighter than the boys. From five to ten the boys grow a little faster than thegirls, but from ten to fifteen the girls grow the fastest, and at between eleven and a half and fourteen ure actually taller, and at twelve and a half to fifteen and a half are heavier than the boys. The boys, however, take the lead between fifteen and twenty years, and grow at first rapidly, but afterwards slower, and complete their growth at about twenty-three years; while girls grow very slowly after fifteen and attain their full stat- ure at about their twentieth year. The tracings and tables show aslow but steady increase in stature up to the sixtieth year in men; but statistics of women are too few after the age of twenty-three to determine anything correctly. The strength of males in- creases rapidly from twelve to nineteen years, more slowly and regularly up to thirty years, after which it declines at an increasing rate to the age of sixty. The strength of females increases at a more uniform rate from nineteen years and more slowly to thirty, after which it falls off in a similar manner to thatof the males. At eleven years femaies are weaker than males by twenty-two pounds. The fact that man continues to grow ia stature up to his fiftieth year contradicts the popular notions on the subject, according to which he ceases to grow before he reaches half that age.

A Suggestive Present.

A short time ago the Students Class '86, Science, atMcGill, discovered that the face of one of their numbers was being covered with a downy substance commonly called whiskers, This dis— peased his comrades, who did not like to have his counténance hidden from them,and they besought him to remove the down, but without avail. Then some of the wise and enterprising ones laid their heads together, and the out- come was that the next day the students assembied and presented the gentleman in question with a handsome- ly illuminated address, whieh praised his many good qualities, and expressed their appreciation of his merits. At the conclusion of the address one of the students stepped forward and placed a square package in the hands of the re- cipiext of the address. That gentleman, though taken altogether by surprise, made a short speech, thanking them tor their kindness to him, and conclud- ing by saying that “the present was as welcome as it was unexpected.” Then, with beamiog face and trembing fingers, he untied the ribbons on the parcel, took of the tissue paper in which it was wrapped, and foupd—a pair of razors and a bar of lauudry soap. Let us draw the curtain.
