their difference for divisOr, and the difference
of their products for a dividend If unlike,
take their sum for divisor, and the sum of
their products for dividend The quotient
will be the answer. This is good arithmetic,
and, for those who can receive it, not bad
philosophy. There is an enormous self right
ing power about error and, ii we could only
manage the cross-multiplication properly, we
might get some surprising results.
The number 81 has this strange popularity !:
multiplied by 3 or any multiple OF up to 27 it
gives three figures all alike. Thus, three times

There is only one case in which you can be at

of 9 being returned to you as a product OF

Johann August Museus, one of the most
popular German stOry-writers of the last cen
tury, in his story of Libus>a," makes the
Lady of Bohemia put forth the following pro.
blem TO her three lovers, offering her hand and
throne as the prize for a correct solution:

sa, "a gift of plums for each Of you, picked
from my garden. One of you shall have half
and one more, the second shall again have halt
and one more, and the third shall again have
my basket. Now, tell me how many pums
are in it p
The first knight made a random guess at
three score.

were as many more, half as many more, and q
third as many more as there are now in the
basket, with five more added to that, the nun
Der would by so much exceed three score as i
now falls short of it.
The second knight, getting awfully bewil
dered, speculated wildly on forty-fve.

, "but if there were a third as many more, bal

A very good puzzle has been based on this
principle, as follows: Get another person to
write downs horizontal row Of fgures-as many
as he likes-withOut letting you see what he is
about from beginning to end of the whole per-
tormance. He is then to reckon up the sum Of
the dgits, and subtract that from his row of
figures. When he has done this. bid him cross
out any figure he peases from the product, and
tell you how much the figures add up without
the crossed out figure From the numbers SO
given you will be able to tell what figure he has
crossed out by only bearing in mind the fact
learned abOve-namely: that if no figure at all
had been crossed out, the result would necessa-
rily be 9, or a multiple OF 9. Hence you will
see that the crossed-out figure must needs be
the one required to bring the sun, giUen to the ner
multiple Of g. Supposing, for instance, he give:
his result at 81, you may be sure that he has
robbed the product of 8, that being the figure
needed to restore the total to the next mutipl,
Of 9-namely, As. His sum would stand a

WHY We LIKE THEM wonder what it is
in people that makes us like them. There
must be certain amount of common infOrma-
ton as basis for congeniality but surely it is
not quantity, in any sense: not is with a
friend as it is with an author we are won by a
certain quality, and mere quantity and mere
faculty go for nothing except as they give
proof of the quality. There are books you can
read by the hour, with instruction and even
entertainment, and yet neither for the frowsy
cover, nor the blurred page, nor any of the
accidental outward belongings have you bit OF
that attachment which in the case of books as
of people, betokens an affection for the inner
most part. And there are plenty Of men and
women of whom you thoroughly approve, who
really inform and amuse you, with whom
indeed, if circumstances conspire, you can
become reasonably intimate, and whom you
never think OF in the way of earnest friendship.
But, bless me, haven't the poets been singing
all this since the beginning of days!-Only they
have another word for friendship. = Scribner' s

without difficulty have learned what balance

The most romantic of all numbers is figure
9, because it cant be multiplied away or got
rid of anyhow. Whatever you do, it is as sure
to turn up again as was the body of Eugene
Aram's victim. One remarkable property of
this figure (said to have been first discovered
by w. Green who died in l794) is that all
through the multiplication table the product of
nine comes to nine. Multiply by what you
like, and it gives the same result. Begin with
twice nine, IS; add the digits together, and l
and make g. Three times nine arc u and
and make 9. So it goes on, up to eleven
times nine, which gives SO. Very good add
the digits: 9 and are Is, and 8 and arc g..
Going on to any extent, it is impossible to get
rid of figure 9. Take couple Of instances at
random. Three hundred and thirty niue times
nine are 305l add up the figures and they give
nine Five thousand and seventy-One times
nine are 45639; the sum of these digits is 27
and . and are Q.
NJ de Maivan found out another queer thing
about this number-namrly, that if you take
any row of figures, and reversing their order
make a subtraction sum OF it, the total is SURF
to be nine For example

GREAT MEN Amongst the worst atfecta |
tiOns OF which people can be guilty Is that OF
desplslng the ordinary cOurtesles OF life. Great |
men are always courteous men with them
Doors forget their bOorishness; and rise out OF
their habitual mire into something like the
cleanliness of decency. For ru leness is akin
to dirt it is dirt on the mind
Another characteristic Of the men we mean
is their appreciation of the finer evidences OF
feeling; to them we can express more in a
movement than to others in volume. Our
true want in life" says modern philosopher
is some one who will make us do what We
can." Great men supply the want by
bringing out that which we know to be
the best that is in us. Their very presence is
rest to the weary and peace to the
troubled They shed happiness around them,
but though loved by the many, they are only
appreciated by the few. The blended passion
and understanding that constitutes in its es-
sence, worship, is not gift bestowed on all;
| it can only be brought into existence by the
men who use their greatness in their daily life,
and do not keep it as ''too bright and good for
human natures daily FOOD"
| Our great man shows respect to others in
such a way as implies an equally habitual and
sure reliance on their respect to himself" He
trusts to what he is for asserting what he
wishes to appear. He is modest-the modesty
of man who knows accurately what he is, his
powers and capabilities, who never attempts
anything which requires the gifts he may not
happen to possess, and if the gifts he has not
seem to him greater than those he has, he &C.
knowledges his inferiority and bows to their
superiority.

INCREASING EMIGRATION OF SwEDEs TO
THE UNITED STATES.-A correspondent Of the
Ftndncier says that one of the first objects Of
interest to the commercial visitor in Sweden is
the outflow of emigration toward the United
States. This writer says he saw at Gothenburg
some five hundred persons of both sexes EN-
bark for England en- route for America by the
lnman and National lines. The emigration
from Sweden and Norway is large, and con
stantly increasing, but by reason of its route
through England some of it is unduly credited
in statistical returns to the latter country.
As for the characters of the emigrantS, il is all
that could be desired. They are of the best
class of peasants-piOuS, clean and hardy.
There are few or no bad character among them.
They emigrate sinaply because their own
country is cold and comparatively sterile-so
rocky that large farms are impossible, and sc
undiversifcd, in its industrial character that
agriculture is substantially the only resource o
the poor, and agricultural, too, at great disad
vantage of climate, tools, and markets.
The following suggestion is added:
The cost OF passage to America is but thirty
odd American dCllarS, but such sum is a smal
fortune to peasant aud hard to raise. SOm'
one of our Southern States could quadrup
the price of their lands and fiji their vast
acres with some of the finest emigrants in tn
world by sending a ship to Gothenburg wit
the offer of a free passage to the land 9
liberty and life. Let our great andhOlder'
some of whom reside in New York, but try tn
experiment, and my word Tor it, it will pa
handsomely.

The same result is obtained if you raise the

Starting with 62, begin the sum over again.
BY reversing the digits we get 26, which sub
