A boy named Charles Tyley was received into the Hospital to-day, with both his hands badly crushed by getting them jammed in the lower pulleys of a crane. When Milton and Shakespeare wrote only 5,000,000 or 6,000,000 people spoke the English language. The number has now increased to 100,000,000, over one-half of whom live in the United States. “ How came you to fail in your examination?” asked a tutor of one of his pupils. “I thought I crammed you thoroughly.” “Well, youseei” replied the student, “the fact was you crammed me so tight I couldn’t get it out.”
