Arithmetic for Millionaires.

The following paragraph is going the
rounds of the Indiana papers: .'
The Chinese have the most ingenious
method of reckoning by the fingers, per-
forming all the operations of addition,
satisfaction, multiplication, and divi-
sion, with numbers from one up to one
thousand. Every finger of the left
hand resenis five figures, as follows
The little finger represents units, the
ring finger tens, the middle finger hun
dreds, the forefinger thousands, the
thumb tens of thousands. When the
three joints of each finger are touched
from the, palms towards the tip they
count one, two and three of each of the
denominations above named. Four,
five and six are counted on the back of
the, finger joints in the same way
seven, eight and nine are counted ON
| the right side of the joints from the
palm to the tip. The forefinger of the
right hand is used as a pointer. Thus
one, two, three, four would be Indicated
by first touching the joints of the fore
finger next the hand on the inside;
next the middle joint ON the forefnger;
next the. hand on the inside next the
middle joint of the middle finger on the
inside; next the end joint of the ring
finger on the inside, and finally the
little finger next the hand on the out
side. The reader will be able to make
further examples for himself. III =
