A cubit of one foot six inches haH so far been accepted, and upon this many measurements that in the present age are regarded as inexiili- cable bavo been b'Jilt up. It has been left for the Rev. W. Shaw Caldecott, a well-known Icc- tuier upon the subject, to discover from the evidence of the llible itself and from scholarly deductions from the famous Henkcreh tablet the exis- tence of three cubits. .\ thousand years before the birth of .•\braham, these three "ells" or cubits were in use, says Wr. Calde- cott. They represented respectively nine-tenths, one and a lifth and one and a half of Knglish foot. The first was used exclusively for the measure- ment of gold and gold tapestry work, the .second for building work, and the measurement of objects and persons, the third for measuring areas only. Mr. Caldccott'a calculations enable us to obtain a more accurate idea of the dimensions of some Hiblical fig- ures. (ioliath was by no means the mighty giant he was believed to be. l).v the side of Chawng, the Chinese giant, he cuts an ordinary figure. The great bed of Og dwindles to some- thing just more than ordinary si/e, and the tow'er of Solomon's magnifi- cent temple scarcely overreaches the clock of St. I'aurs. Whether mathematicians and As- .syrian scholars accept the interpre- tations of Mr. (.'aldecott remains to be seen.

To make a delicious veal pot pie enough for live or six iier.sons: (Jut three pounds of the liroast of veal and a half pound of salt pork into jiieces about an inch siiuans. Put the meat into a large kettle over the (ire with enough cold water to cover it well. Add two medium sized white onions, cut into small jiieces; twelve pepper corns or one small red pepper, two whole cloves, and a teaspoonful of salt. Cover the kettle; let the water come very slowly to the boiling; point, carefully removing all skuni as it ri.ses. When the broth is ipiilu free from .scum, cover the kettle and set it where its Contents will simmer for about two hours. Jf the broth gets too low in the ki'ttle add boiling water from the tea kettle. IHiring the Inst half hour the meal is cooking, make the hough for the pot pie after these directions. Sift a (piart of flour with a ten.spoonful of salt and throe heajiing teaspoon- fuls of baking powder into a large bowl. Put a heaping tablespoonful of butler in tlie sifted flour and mix it thoroughly until the whole is in lit- tle globules. Then stir in enough milk to make a dough as stilT as for tea biscuits. When thoroughly niix- e<l turn the do igh on a well floured pastry hoard and roll il out half an inch in thickness Then cut into ro.ind shapes with a biscui) cutter. When the meat has cooked two hours carefully lift these biscuits with a pancake turner and sliile them as ipiickly as possible into tho kettle. Cover il closely again and let the whole cook for 3(i minutes. Ucmovo the rovpr and with a skimmer ipiick- l.\ lift the dumplltins from the ket- tle.

New Diversions of Animal King- dom in East Africa. The animal kingdom in Ibitish East .\frica looks upon the 2,100 miles of telcKraph wire strung through that region as an innovation to be utili/'ed. The wires arouse curiosity and stiiuulato experimenta- tion. A number of geiicTa and no end of species are trying to tind the adajitation of tho telegraph to their special purposes; and so the routine of the telegraph business is more or I less crowded with incidents of an un-i usual character, some of which are mentioned in the latest official re-| port. This speaks of monkeys as iu-j corrigible. Many of them have beeni shot and thousumls frightened, but they cannot get over the idea that i the wires ore merely a now facility! for their othletic performances in mid-air. They have ceasetl to pay ' attention to the locomotives, and even the shrieks of the whistle are not permitted to interfere much with the fun of swinging on the wire. Three wires are strung on the same line of [Joles for 58\ miles between the Indian Ocean and Victoria Nyan- za, giving an opportunity for more complicated performanct'S. The Kil- avu forest is mentioned as a place where monkeys, in their evolutions, sometimes succeed in twisting the wires together. 'JTie gentle giralle is also a source of annoyance. He sometimes ap- plies enough muscular energy to the bracket on which the wire is fasten- ed to twist it around, stretching the wire and causing it to foul with other wires. 'I'ho hippopotamus is also a nui-sancc, because he rubs up against the poles and sometimes knocks theiu over. These creatures, however, do not steal the wire. Thievery was the greatest evil with which the tele- graph builders had lo contend, and the evil has only recently boon sup- pressoil. When the copper wire was stretched north-east from Victoria Nyanza through the Nsoga country, the natives cut out considerable lengths of it; and at one time about forty miles of wire were carried away and never recovero<l. Passing cara- vans found also that they could help themselves along the way by cutting the wire and using it in the barter trade. The temptation was great and not always resisted, for wire would buy anything the natives had to sell. A great deal of energy was expended in stamping out wire steal- ing and it now seems to be a thing of the past. Fifty-nine ofTices are receiving and sending telegrams in liritish East Africa and Uganda. Wires conni?ct the sea-coast with Albert Nyanza, where Emin Pasha was so long cut off from the world by the Madhists. Telephone messages are con.-.tantly being sent between Mombasa, on tho coast, and Nairobi, 328 miles inland, and the telegralih business last yeai amounted to 42,159 messages. -», MOTHER'S ADVICE.
