POPULATION OF HELL.

A. Genius Figures It Out tobe 175,OOO.OOO.OOO. Certainly an endeavor to arrive at correct idea of the population of hell, assuming the orthodox idea of it to be sound, has at least the element oi novelty to recommend it. A recent writer li :s computed that in round numbers the earth has a population ol 1,800,003,000, of which 30J,000,000 are professed christians, the other 1,000,000,000 being Mohammedans, Buddhists, Jews, pagan, and heathen. The whole race was condemned to eternal punishment for the sin of Adam. This was the fall of man, from which there was and is no redemption save through **he death of Christ.

Biblical chronology gives the earth a period of about G,U0J years. From Adam's time to Christ was -1,0JO years, during which period ho human souls were saved. The population then may ive averaged l,00),0ji),000. ... Three generations, or 3,000,0JJ,000 pass' away in each century. Forty centuries, therefore, consigned 12),000,0JO,000 of men to eternal fire, and, for ali that is known, they are there now. In the 1,90J years which have elapsed since the birth of Clirist 57,000,000,000 more ol human beings have lived and died.. If all the Christians, nominal arid real,' who have ever lived on the face of the earth have been saved they would not inimbei'" more than 18,000,000,000. Now. if is deducted the-latter .number from the grand total of 177,000,000,000 there is found 159,000,000,000 souls who .- aje suffering the tor ments of hell-fire, against the 18.000,000,000 who have escaped. But this is not the whole truth. Nobody believes that more than 10 per cent of the professed Christians are saved.' Calvinists themselves say the elect are few. If that is a fact, heaven contains but 1.800.000,000, against a population in hell of 175,000,000,000.

STEALING A CHILD.

An Intelligent Elephant, and What It Took to Pacify Her. A remarkably intelligent elephant, working on a new bridge in Ceylon, says Murray's Magazine, had a young one to whom she was perfectly devoted. It died, and sin. became inconsolable. Formerly the gentlest of creatures, she grew irritable and even dangerous. One morning she broke the chain which confined her and escaped into the forest.

One night, about ten days after her escape, the officer who had been in charge of her went out to lay in wait for bears at a pond in a jungle at some distance.

As he and his native attendant were returning, early in the morning, tiie native silently nudged him, and they saw in the dim gray light an elephant with her calf making their way toward the camp. They both sprang behind trees, and when the elephants had pad passed, the native insisted that the older one was their old friend.

When they reached the camp thoy found that the truant had indeed returned, and had gone from one person to another, touching each with her trunk, as if she were exhibiting1 her adopted child, which she had evidently bogged, borrowed or stolen during her absence.

Her good temper and usual docility returned at once, and the owner blessed the jrood fortune which had enabled her to steal a child.

Cutting Off Money for Use.

A tall, black-whiskered man was leaning over the desk at the Continental hotel last night conversing with several friends, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Pulling a plethoric wallel from his bre ist pocket he took therefrom a long sheet of $5 bills, just as they came from the treasury department. His friend inquired what they wore. "Only advertisements," war! the reply. "They're given away with tea instead of the usual chromos." By this time there was quite a crowd around the black whiskered man, eagerly examining the bills. Soraei thought they wero genuine bill, while others, who had never seen bills in this shape before, as there was nearly a yard of them, really thought they were advertisements and would noS have bought the entire lot for 5 cents. "You're all just like the fellow out in St. Louis. lie was a clerk in a store where I made a purchase I asked him for a pair of shears and proceeded to cut off a bill. You should have seen the man's eyes. They stood out so you could have knocked them off with a stick. The outcome of the matter was that he refused to take them. Just at that minute the proprietor came from the oflice. and, seeing the status of the case, discharged the man, but after I had explained the case we all had a good laugh. "Why do I carry them in that way? I guess—well—I suppose to have a little fun that's all. I have a friend, a cashier in a bank, and he lets me havo them. Let's adjourn and have a B. and S. r.nd see what the «barkeoper has to say.

„i,

Teii

JL few Sundays ago an Atlrtnta preacher had selected as his text for hi* morning discourse "It ia easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter tho kingdom of heaven." He intended to "scotch 'em." When he entered the pulpit he found a note from tho richest member or his congregation and it read as follows: "When the collection for foreign missions is taken up this morning put me down for §501" The sermon was preached on the text: vTako hoed that ye do not your alms before men to be seen ol thorn."

Hinrch Choirs and Comic Opera.

It's nothing strange that the minister is often shocked by the acting ol the pretty girls of tho choir. The choir has become the training-school for the comic-opera stage. The good deacons may not believe it possible, but a glance at the history of the mosl popular soubrettes and prima donnas shows that they began by making the minister miserable.—Springfield fin pu blicau.

HIS FAVORITE ODOR.

Story of "Finigran's Wake" Newlj Told. Timothy Finigan, commonly .llcc "Tim," was an Irish gentleman of eccentricities, living on rue Walker. His brogue was clean cut "melojus/' and he followed the genteel occupation o! hod-carrier. Though an odd fellow in many respects he didn't belong to the order nor was he a mason, although lie was accustomed to 'tend one. He had often been urged to join a temjerance society, but he preferred, he said, to take his drinks openly. Drink was his bane, however, It was a sort of heredity with him, several of his wife's relatives and a neighbor or two having been carried off with it. Every .morning before repairing to his place of business—011 top of a ladder—he used to take a drop, little thinking it would finally result in'a drop to much, as it did wheii he dropped-1from tho ladder. His skull was saverly dislocated and he was picked up for dend.

His friend? carried him home, and preparations were made for celebrating his demise n.a manner eharacteristic of his impetuous though warm hearted countrymen, and satisfactory to the corpse. •Although.enjoyi.ng th :t sleep from which there. is said to be no "waking" everything that affection could suggest was prepared to wake Mr. Finigan.

The .friends of the deceased being informed of his promotion to another and better world, gathered in great numbers. Mrs. Finigan, though plunged into a wild abyss of grief, had the presence of mini to order on the collation, consisting chiefly of pipes and tobacco and the.exhiliirating punch.

Biddy O'Brien, a wash-tub artist, struck with the line appearance of tho late Mr. Finigan, began to weep bitterly, and said that Timothy, considered as a corpse, lay over any dead man that lives, and she was ready to bet money 011 it. Then Judv Magee, moved by jealousy, requested Biddy to "hould yer gob," which resulted in a discussion alike disgraceful to all parties. Missiles of all kinds were employed in it. A table leg prostrated Mickey Mulroony, and a bottle of pure malt whisky, intended for sickness only, which he in turn hurled at his assailant, landed on the bed and scattered its contents over poor Tim.

The effect on the remains was magical. The nostrils were seen to twitch as they inhaled the familiar odor, then: the eyes opened and Timothy raised* up in bed. He comprehended the' situation at a glance, and springing to tho floor he seized a, convenient shilla-1 lah, and laying about with it right and left he shouted: "Bad luck to yer sowls, d'ye think I'm dead?" Then the entire party united in the chorus he led: "Whack, hurrah, blood and oundsl ye sowis ye.

With vhe flu re your trotters shake Isn't it the thruth I've tould .ve, Lota of fun at Finigau's wake!"

A Small, Slirrn Voice.

A curious incident occurred a few Sundays ago at old Trinity, says the N. Y." Star. The actors were two well-known and wealthy society ladies. It was at a morning service and the church was crowded. During the early part of the service—the psalter and responses—they had maintained an attitude of rapt devotion, with profoundly solemn faces and bowed heads. The te deuni was arranged to a long and unusually elaborate musical accompaniment, and these ladies had remained seated. The lines "Let us never be confounded" were sung with a flourish and an operatic staccato which came to a sudden and pronounced close. The silence was heightened by the loud burst of harjnony which had preceded. There was no gradual dying awav, but a quick, petrifying stop. And in the solemn hush, came the words: "But, my dear, we fry ours in butter."

Mr. Dix raised his hand in a quick gesture of horror an acolyte laughed aloud the faces of the congregation variously expressed amusement, chagrin, and anger, and amidst the commotion which ensued the very charming Mrs. was borne, faint and sick, from the church.

A Londoner advertises that he is "Porous Plaster Manufacturer to Her Majesty the Queen."
