A Natural Mathematician.

Mr.. Edward H. Coursey, of Piny Neck,
was born in 1906, and is now, consequent
ly, eighty one years Of age. Mr. Coursey
is a remarkable man. Figures are mere
playthings for him. He can solve the
most difficult problem, and has yet to find
q sum he cannot get the correct answer to-.
His talent for figures is entirely natural,
never having attended school as much as
a year in his life. He does his sums not
by any arithmetical rules, but by rules of
his own, but always gets the answer cor
rect. He las made, too, somewhat of a
reputation, and receives sums through
mail from almost every State in the Union,
which he works and answers by mail. He
is quite notorious, also, for the difficult
sums he puts to Others and particularly
the school masters, whom he especially
delights to puzzle. His latest is rs fol-
lows: "a farmer having twelve bitches
to cut, of different lengths, employs four
men to do the work. Tc the first he agrees
to pay 81 per rod to the second s1.25 per
rod to the third $1.75 per rod, and to the
fourth $21S4 per rod. When they finish
the bitches and come to be paid off, each

man cut in each ditch, how much money
did each man receive for each ditch; how

cut ?"- Ccntreoile Obssroer.
