There Is only one case in which you can
be at fault, and that is in the event of IA multi
ple of being returned you as product. on
course you will know that either a Q or an
must have been struck cut Had the been
struck out in the above instance, the result
would have been 3G. Had il been the o, the
result would have been 40 Both being mui-
tinles of:9, il would be impossible TO tell with
certainty whether the missing figure were 9
or 0; but good guess may generally be
termed, because, if the figures appear suSpic-
iously low in proportion to the time taken 20
add UP the sum- you may speculate that your
product has most likely sustained the loss of
the highest number.
This is clever Persian story about Moham-
med Ali and his camelS; and though twill be
familiar To many of our readers, they will
scarcely be sorry TO be reminded of II. y

divided among his three sons in the follow
ing PROPORTIONS: the eldest 10 have half, the
second third, and the youngest ninth. Of
course, camcls can't be divided into fractions,

difficulty to Mohammed All. Nothing east

camel - make eighteen; and now divide
them yourselves" The consequence was
each brother got from onc-eighth 10 onchali
Of i camel more than he was entitled TO, ani
Ali received his camel back again-the eld-
est brother getting nine camcls, the second

l,549, lOl-sum of digits 27,-2 and 30.

l,j49, l0l=sum Of digits 27,-2 and 30,
A very good puzzle has been based on this
principle, as follows: Get another person to
write down horizontal row of figures, as
many as he likes without letting you see
what he is about from beginning to end Of
the whole performance, He is then TO rec
kon up the sum of the digits, and subtract
that from the row OF figures When he has
done this, bid him cross out any figure he
plcases from the remainder, and tell you how
much the figures add up without the crossed
out figure From the number SO given you
will be able to tell what Squire he has crossed
out, by only bearing in mind the fact above
learned, namely, that if no figure at all has
been crossed ont the result would necessarily
be nine or multiple of nine. Hence you
will see that the crossed out figure must
needs be tie one required 10 BRING the sam to
tie hert multiple IF nine. Surprising, for in
stance, he gives his result as 81; you may DO
sure that he has robbed the product of 3, that
being the figure needed to restore the total to
the next multiple of nine, namely, 40. His
sum would stand as under:

M ITEM FOR MoTHERs.-The PopVidr
Science Nonhly has this item, which will be
good reading for mothers:
One of the great dangers attending the use
of the various scdativeS employed in the nur-
sery is that they tend to produce the opium
habit. These 1uack medicines owe their
soothing and quoting effects to the action of
opium: and the infant is by them given u
morbid appetite for narcotic stimulants. The
offering FOR sale OF such nostrums should be
prohibited, as tending 10 the physical and
moral deterioration of the race. In India,
mothers give TO their infants pills containing
opium, and the result is languid, sensual
race of hopeless debauchces In the United
States the poisonous dose is administered un.
der another name, but the consequences will
probably be the same

The question whether Il gentleman walking
with lady should give her his right or left
arm is frequently discussed. Custom and
written etiquette are rather in favor of the
right, although there are excellent reasons in
behalf of the left arm. Either one or the 9TH
er, permanently retained, is vastly better than
the awkward and absurd habit Of changing
arms so as to place the lady on the inside of
the promenade. One advantage of giving the
left arm is that the person on the right natur
ally takes the lead, so that, ia country or city,
in the street or park, he thus readily directs
the way, instead Of waiting 10 consult with
his companion or causing a jostling by each
of them trying to move to opposite points.
Another advantage is, that in aCrowyled thor
oughfare, such us Broadway, fot eSanple
where the sidewalk is invariablytncUmbered
with merchandise and thronged with people,
gentleman needs his right arm to remove
distractions and keep rude or careless folks
out of the way.-"H0me and .SOcieth" in
