"A little boy in Ballachalish, Scot:
land. who was never taught anything of
arithmetic, possesses an extraordinary
intuitive mastery over figures. :'Get-
ting hold the other day." writes visitor
"of a large slate, we figured question
in simple addition, of nine columns and
with sixteen figures to the column. we
ordered him in Gaelic to add up the
sum. This he did in few seconds.
He seemed to add column after column
in the usual way, but with extraordinary
| rapidity, muttering the addition to HIM
self in soft, bee-like hum, until the
sum total was reached. 1t was the same
in the most difficult questions OF COM
pound addition, though where he got
the knowledge of the money table, indls-
pensable in the working out of such
sums, neither father nor anybody else
could tell"
The Project of St. Petersburg, NJ.
Baranoff, suddenly gave notice, the 9TH
er day, that the town would be sur
rounded by military Gordon, and per-
sons entering or leaving the town sub
iected to a rigorous examination. St.
Petersburg is chiefly dependent for its
daily supplies of milk, butter and eggs on
the services of persons who live in the
environs. One fine morning the town
awoke to find the breakfast table minus
the accustomed accessories. The peas
ant purveyors we're being vigorously ex-
amined by the authorities. On the sub
sequent morning the Gordon was undis-
turbed by the demands Of the dairyman
for passage; but milk, butter and eggs
were, however, as plentiful as usual in
St. Petersburg. The peasants had dis
PLAYED knowledge of the by-ways into
the city which had baffled the authori-
ties. After such q fiasco the Gordon
was removed. .a.~as - vs@'
1t seems that kleptomania IS q com:
plant peculiar to ladies of warranted
responsibility, and the select circles Of
society. When women of other classes
have . passion for picking up things TO,
which they do not intend to pay the
habit is called shoplifting, or plain steal
Ing, but the fine lady who lives in 8
! fashionable house, and goes to church
and can not keep her hands off othe1
peoples property is only q kleptoma
MAC. The law, while it recognizes NJ
; distinction between kleptomanis ant
, thievery, does not often lay its claw
roughly upon the lady Of light finger
and large acquisitiveness, but 1t made
: an example Of one the other day in New
, York. The very respectable matrol
took few hair-pins from store-coun
: ter, and did not stop to pay for them
: They were worth only twenty-eigh
:, cents, and she didn't want them, but sh
! had to pay $50 and spend day in jsi
= among other criminals for failing in tn
q sleight-of. hand trick. It is suggested
= that more frequent application OF TIL
. remedy would cure klcptomania.
