The Gold of the World.

—————

The entire amount of gold in the world at present is estimated at nearly seven billions ($7,000,000,000) ot value in United States coinage. A billion 1s such a big number that the average mind ean scareely take “Se thousand millions is more readily com- prehended ; consequently seven thous- and millions means more, verbally and financially, than seven billions. How much solid gold would that mike? Pure gold is more than nineteen times as heavy as water, and a eubie foot ot water weighs 1,000 ounces avoirdupo!s. A cubic toot of gold would weigh, therefore, over 19.000 ounces avoirdu- pois, and each such ounce of gold is worth. as we reckon, rather more than $10; so that a eubie foot of the precious metal would have a value of about $333,333. A eubie yard ot gold

y

being 27 times as much, would be worth over $9,000,000, and 700 cubic yar.ls would contain considerably more than the whole sum of gold on the globe. All of it might be contained in a block some seventeen feet. high, twenty-eight feet wide and fifty-six feet long.

Where He Gained.

He was a strawberry man. He drove his old horse and wagon under the shade of a tree on Elizabeth street, at noon, tired of screaming, and anx ious to measure up what he had left and see if his receipts agreed. He measured, and there were eleveL quarts. Ile counted up his money, and he found he was a quart of straw- berries ahead. He measured again and counted again, and he was puzzled,

“Tet’s see!” he mused, as he hid : bad berrv under the pile, “1 measured my thumb along with a quart oi berries twice on High street, three times on Columbia, once on Ragg and twice on this street, and that accounts fora pint. Now, how did | save thai other pint! I slid off six berries at that brick house three at the cottage, seven or eight when I sold to that boy, and —and?”’

He reflected for a moment, and then face he

asa _ bright smile erossed his claimed :

“Bead! [have it! I remember now that I measured both thumbs at once over on Montcalm street! That tallies to a berry, and my mind is retieved of a great burden!”’—-Detroit Free Press.

A bachelor was once saying, ‘‘ Next to no wife, a good wife is best.” “ Nay,” said a gentleman; ‘“nexttoa good wife, no wife is best.”’

A sharp-talking lady was reproved by ber husband, who requested her to keep her tongue in her mouth. “ My dear,” she said, “it’s against the law to carry concealed weapons.

A printer, meddling with the verdict of a coroner's jury, struck out a comma after the word “apoplexy,” making it read thus: ‘“ Deceased came to his death by excessive drinking, producing apoplexy in the minds of the jury.

The other day, a teacher at a lady’s school, while putting a company of juveniles of the gentler sex through, the spelling, came to the word “lad,” of which, in accordance with the modern method, she asked the signifi- cation.

Two men of this city were out, the other day, solititing money for a charit- able object. They came to the office ofa certain rich man, and hesitataed about approaching him. One. of the

air finally concluded he would try it. When ‘he came out his partner asked him what luck. “Nota cent,” said the man who had “ bearded the lion in his den’”—‘ not a cent.’ I told him all about the distress of the family, but it was of no use. He was indifferent as the rear guard of a funeral proces-

An old farmer, who feared neither God or man, had hired a devoted ser- vant; and to get some Sunday work out of him, he would always plan a case of “necessity” on Saturday, and on Sunday would put that point to the man’s conscience. One morning old Sandy proved refractory; he would “work no more on Sandays.” ‘The master then argued the necessity ; that the Scriptures allowed a man to get out of a pit on the Sabbath day, a beast that has fallen in.” “ Yes,” was the rejoiner, “but no if he spend the

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the

entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters

Dr. MELVIN’s CApsicuM Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect acure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will fee) its effect.

Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for DR. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER, You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPsI- cum Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 fora deme, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas,
