A Mathematical Prodigy.
From the Missouri Re publican.

rom the MlSSOufl DuDllcan.
At or near Warrensburg, Johnson
county, in this State, resides poor
widow woman, who has son, Reu-
ben Field, mere boy, untutOred, and
seemingly almost incapable of literary
culture, who yet possesses most re-
markablepOwer of mental calculation.
As evidence of this, among many
other evidences that might be cited, q
gentleman of st. LOusis, who had
heard of his possessing this aculty,
sent him the following figures, viz !:
145, AS, 1915, asking him to square
this number mentally-that is; multi
ply the number by itself, and send
him the result with the time taken to
perform it, scarcely believing, how
ever, Notwithstanding the eXtraOrdi-
nary accounts related of him, that he
would be capable of the task. IRthis,
however he was mistaken, as We're
others to whom the proposition had
been named. A letter has been re-
ceived by the gentleman named from
a highly respectable and reliable citi-
zen of Warrensburg, who states that
in three minutes time the boy Field
mentally and accurately pronounced
the result, 21,O67, ,113, 159, 1853, ,2l7, ,071,
OPS, or written in words, twenty-One
seXtilliOns siXty-seven quintilliOns one
hundred and thirteen quadrilliOns one
hundred and fifty-nine trilliOns one
hundred and siXty-three billions one
hundred and seventy-One thousand
and seventeen millions seventy-One
thousand and twenty-five.
VbOuUI, ct1cb nN-bihifiOpG Of nonOtol
powers of calculation rs the one eX-
hibited i'm the above are not alto
gether unheard of, they are neverthe-
less exceedingly rare. In this in
stance, it will appear all the more
marvellous when it is stated that this
boy Reuben Field is almost entirely
meducated. Indeed, the letter refer
red to above says Field maintains it is
'Of no use for him to go to school, as
he can't learn anything and never
could" In fact, in this matter of cal
culatiOn, in which he is marvel, he
is said to be every ignorant in all other
matters" lazy uncOuth, disposed to
wander idly from place to place, and
worst of all, perhaps, sis very fond Of
drink" Yet, the letter states, che
can repeat the eighty-seventh line in
multiplication backward and forward,
and does many marvellous things in
calculating mentally"
Let those who think the solution re-
quired i'm the proposition given above
can not be a difficult one, because rem
dered by an illiterate and uncultiva-
ted boy, call to mind that this solution
by the usual forms of multiplication
requires the use of one hundred and
ninety-One figures one hundred and
forty-fOur multiplicatiOns, twenty
three additions, and fifteen cOmbina-
tiOns of figures, and that this, by the
ordinary processes of multiplication,
is to be performed and retained in the
mind, until the process is completed.
When they realize this, or attempt
the solution itself, they will very
likely come to the conclusion that
Reuben Field is a prodigy in mental
caIcula ton.

The Boy OF the Period.

The New Orleans Picayune of a
recent date, has the following: A Ia
dy walking along Canal street yester-
day evening was attracted by the
bright eyes and blonde eurls Oft little
urchin seated on the curb-stOne. She
approached, and asked him if he was
a newsbOy.
"NO, Nam, / amt nothing.
"Have you no home?'
rNo.u
"WOuldn't you like to have One?'
'YOu bet"
"ShOuld not speak so idly, my son.
But come, how would yOu like me for

The little fellow scanned her from
head to foot for moment, and then
inquired:
"WOuld you whip me?"
"NOt unless you are bad"
"Let me go bare-fOOted ~

The Wanderers Prayer.

On 2 cold, dreary evening in au-
tumn, Il small boy, poorly clad, yet
Clc8niy and tidy, with q pack upon
his back, knocked IT the door Of an
old Quaker II the town of s.
WAS Hir. Lanman at Iome?"
Yes" The koy wished 20 see him.
and he was speedily ushered into the
hosts presence.
Friend Lannlan was one OF tie
wealthiest men in the country, and
President of the L Valley rail
road. The boy had come to see If he
could obtain \ situation or the road.
He said he Was an cTphan-his moth
CT had been dead only two months,
and he was now a homeless wanderer.
But the lad was too small for the fill
ing of any place within the Quaker's
gift, and he was forced to deny him.
Still he liked the looks of the l5Sv,
and said to him.:
'Thee may stop in my house to-
night, and on the morrow / will give
thee names of two or three good men
in Philadelphia, 10 whom thee may
apply with assurance of kind recep-
ton at least lam sorry that | have
no employment for thee"
Later in the evening the old Qua
ker went the rounds of his spacious
mansion, lantern in hand, as was his
wont, to see that all was safe before
retiring for the night. As he passed
the door of the little chamber where
the poor wandering orphan had been
placed to sleep, he heard voice. He
stopped and listened, and distinguish
ed the tones of a simple earnest
prayer. He bent his ear nearer, and
heard these words from the little boys
lips:
80, good Father i'm Heaven, help
me to help myself! Watch over me
as / watch over my own conduct; and
care for me as my deeds merritt Bless
the good man inwhoSe house am shell
tered, and spare him long, that he
may continue his bounty to other suf-
fering and needy ones. Amen"
And the Quaker responded another
amen as he moved on; and rs he went
he meditated. The boy had a true
idea of the duties of life, and possess
ed warm, grateful heart. al verify
think the lad will be treasure to his
employer" was his concluding re-
Election.
When the morning came the old
Quaker had changed his mind con-
corning his answer to the boys appli-
cation.
"WhO learned thee to pray?" asked
friend l..
"My mother, sir" was the soft re-
ply. And the rich brown eyes grew
moist.
"And thee will not forget thy moth
cr's cOunsels?"
~ cannot; for l know that my
success i'll life is all dependent upon
them"
''My boy, thou mayest stay here in
my house; and very soon l will take |
thee to my office. Go, now, and get |
thy breakfast
Friend l.. was gathered to the spirit |
harvest shortly after the breaking out |
of the war at the South; but he lived !
to see the poor boy he had adopted,
rise step by step, until he held the re-
spOnsible office which the falling guar !
dian could no longer hold. And to- |
day there is no man more hOnoTed |
and respected by his friends,an none |
more feared Icy gamblers and evil |
spectators in irresponsible |
stock, than is the once poor wanderer |
now President of the best managed |
and most productive railway in the |
United States.

We ALL DO FADE As A LEAF.

Softly within the garden shade
At hush OF bright midsummer noon,
The tinted leaves that early fade,
By low, sweet winds, 10 earthsare laid,
While flowers that wlther not SO soon
Are glaneing in the golden beam,
And fruits are ripening In the CLEAN
ofslEies that glow with hues Of June.
They fade and 'scapo the wintry blast
That, DER the hillside, bleak and drcar,
When clouds the summer skies O'ercast,
And summer leaves are falling fast,
Pursues them, scattered, brown and sere-
When winds have taken a flercer tone,
And all the golden glow is gone
From the dull days that close the year.
They mind me OF life as brief
A blossom, in its early morn,
With the bright dew upon It's leaf
By Death, that reclzs not human griof,
From the fair stem remOrseless torn,
From the fair earth, and heavens sweet
light,
From hope and love, and promise bright,
To dark oblivion's silence borne.
Life blooms to fade, for soon or late,
Tis Natures law; whose circle binds
The 1eeting forms she doth create
Mid ceaseless change; a changeless fate.
Each life inexOrable finds
The hour it waits The summer bloom
Wastes, whitening TO its wintry tomb,
And day, with night, its circle winds.
ThrO' cycling years, as earth rolls on
Her journey with the eternal stars,
And IL n fieetfng life be gone
II falls a leaf, or sinks throne
'Tis but a transient hour it mars;
While life, and song, and bloom renew
Their summer joy long ages through,
Till time fulhIls his destined years.
Spectators Of a transient day,
We watch the change we too must share;
And while our dearest joys decay,
And hopes, delusive, pass away,
And all we hold is frail as fair:
How sweet to think of changeless skies,
And fadeless flowers in Paradise,
And those who walk, immortal, there!
Who wait in that eternal home
To greet us from times changeful shores.
Oh house OF God to thee we come,
Pillared in light thy -adiant.dOme
Unfolds its everlasting doors!
Thy courts, with grateful JOY, Wen thrOng
And infant voices join the song,
That echoes In Thee.ever more.
Thy children shall no more depart,
Blest home of holiness and rest;
Thy peace shall heal the wounded heart,
In thee, no moro, they know in part;
But all hopes promised Joy possessed
Adopted midst the sons of light,
Faiths vision dawns TO open sight,
In God, the Fathers presence blest

How TO make an Ice House.

In the construction of good, SER
viceable ice-hOuse, but three cOndi-
tiOns are necessary; drainage, nom
conducting walls, and some degree of
ventilation, or, rather, n circulation
of air, through diffusion. When these
three conditions are met, ice can be
successfully preserved. The building
constructed for the purpose should, if
possible, rest on 4 stone foundation,
in order to secure the most complete
freedom from moisture. a tight floor
may be laid, having n slight incline,
in connection with Il drain to carry
Off the water through it. Upon this
floor should next be laid number of
scantlings, which should be covered
with straw to support the ice. Upon
the sills, which may be ten inches
wide and three inches thick, frame
is next set DIP of hemlock planks,
about three feet apart, with three or
four inch strip, nailed as Il plate on
the tops of the upright planks. To
the plankS are nailed the inside walls
and the Notwithstanding. These re-
spective double walls should be eight
feet high, and the space between the
inside and outside walls should be fill
ed with some porous substance, as,
for instance, saw-dust, shayings or
tan-bark, put in when thoroughly dry
and afterward well packed. Tile ice
should not be packed above the plates
and the door should be placed in the
north end of the building. There
should also be n few auger-hOlcs or n
shutter in the north end to provide
ventilation. With such a house,
twelve feet square, there will be no
difficulty in keeping ice all the year
round.

Three Young Men,

Mrs. Basil Williamson, rec emily
died, at CharlestOwn, Virginia, aged
eighty-nine years. She was n signer
of the deed to General Washington
for the Harper's Ferry property for a
national armOry-a spot selected by
himself. In early days she advised
her sons and other young friends how
they could make themselves a name,
by pointing to the career of three lads
who left Jefferson county, (then Berk-
ley, to settle among the wild Indians
of the Northwestern Territory. She
said. 1--WE were feasting and dancing
at the neighbOrs' houses for a week
before these young men started, and
when they bade us farewell there was
not dry eye, rs we never expected
to see them again, thinking the Indi-
ans would sIay them at sight, The
names Of these young men were
Thomas WOrthingtOn, Edward Tiflin,
and Robert Lucas, each of whom be-
came Governor of Ohio.

Don't whip a Frightened Horse.

Never whip your horse for becom-
ing frightened at any object by the
roadside; for if he sees n stump, a
log, or heap of tan barlIin the road,
and while he is eyeing it carefully,
and about to pass it, you strike him
with the whip, it is the log, or the
stump, OF the tan bark that is hurting
him, in his way of reasoning, and the
next time he will act more frightened.
Give him time to examine and smell
Of all these objects, and use the war
bride to assist you in bringing him
carefully TO these objects if possible,
to his nose, and him smell of them,
and then you can commence To be
gentle with him.
