It was in 1753 that a proposal ito It was in 1753 that a propusur w count the people was first made. Thomas Potter, son of .the archbishop of Canterbury and member for St. Germans, introduced in that year a bill “for taking and registering an an- nual account of the total number of the people and of the total number of marriages, births and deaths and also of the total number of poor receiving alms from every parish and extra paro- chial place in Great Britain." It was 12â€"-‘a1_. 45:“ \- UIu... :1an v __ inevitable, of course, that directly this proposal was made the precedent of many were the jeremiads as to the al- ternative evils which would befall the country. Those submitted to David were mild in comparison. Mr. Thorn- ton. member for York city, said: “I did not believe that there was any set of men or indeed any individual 01 the human species so presumptuous and so abandoned as to make the pro- posal we have just heard. I hold this subject to be totally subversive of the last remains of English liberty. The new bill will direct the imposition of new taxes, and indeed the addition of a very few words will make it the most efi'ectual engine of rapacity and oppression that was ever used agains‘ an injured people. Moreover, an an ‘ nual register of our people will ac quaint our enemies abroad with on .

Among the curious animals which in- habit the sea we may take the holo- thuria. or sea cucumber, so called from its resembiance to the cucumber. When this animal is attacked by an enemy it does not stand up and fight, but by a sudden movement it ejects its teeth, stomach, digestive apparatus and nearly all its intestines and then shrlvels its body up to almost nothing. When, however, the danger is past the animal commences to replace the organs which it has voluntarily parted with, and in a short time the animal is as perfect as ever it was. I m Johnstone kept one in water for a long time, and one day he forgot to change the water. The creature in consequence ejected its intestines and shriveled up. but when the water was changed all its organs were repro- duced. Although the animal is not eaten in Europe, it is a favorite with the Chinese, and the fishing forms an important part of the industry of the east. Thousands of junks are annual~ ly used in fishing for trepang. as the animals are calledâ€"London Tit-Bits. Cows That Never Drink.
