REmARKAsLE NUMBERS.

A correspondent of the New York Euen-
ina Post says In the month of August
ventured to draw attention to some of the
curious properties of the number l42, S57.
Another correspondent kindly pointed out
the secret, which lies in the fact that the
digits referred to occur in the repeating
decimal formed from the vulgar fraction
1t. Recognizing the value of this hint |
made further experiments with all prime
numbers up to 100; and I offer the result
to the public, or to that portion of the pub
lie which delights in mathematical curiosi-
ties.
l. The number one, divided by any
prime number except and 5, always pro-
duces recurring decimal.
3 This recurring decimal is always a
pure recurring decimal that is, the whole
of the decimal recurs.
3. To vary the statement. there is no
prime number, except 2 and 5, which will
not go without remainder into row of
mines of some length or other.
4. The number of digits in the recurring
decimal will always be either one less than
the prime number or factor of the mum.
Der which is one less than the prime mum.
ber Thus the recurring decimal equal to
l-l09 has los figures; that equal to l.97
has Sc figures; those equal to l-43. 70
and l-S3 have 81. Ii and Al figures re-
spectively.
5. When the number of digits is even
the first added to the second half will
always produce row of mines. To take
an easy example, the recurring digits OF
the fraction l.73 are 0l369S63. Add 0l36
to 1868, and you have 9999.
6. When the number of digits is one less
than the prime number still more re.
markable result also follows. The recur.
ring number, multiplied by any number
less than the prime number, always repro.
duces its own digits in the same process
aional order. Thus, the recurring figures
of the fraction LII are 05SS2352941 l7647.
Multiply by l3, and you have 764705SS2352
94l1. And in multiplying by larger mum.
bers phenomena will occur similar to those
which 1 have already stated in connection
with the number l42, S57.

Mr.. BEEcHER INDIGNANT. "A thrilling
scene occurred at the opera house at Mont
gomery nj ght before last, at the close of
Mr.. Beecher's lecture. The paper there
has been very abusive of Mr.. Beecher, and
it is said the editor gave instructions that
nothing favorable to him should be printed.
When he concluded his regular lecture, he
said he had something to say as a matter
of personal privilege. BE had been assailed
and denounced. He gave short review
OF his career, dwelling upon the fact that
he had always opposed oppression and had
favored freedom. He grew eloquent over
his course against slavery, but said that
since the war be had been friend to
North and South alike, and that the man
who said that he had never uttered one
word against either section was ga liar !"
The scene was dramatic, and the effect on
the audience was such that deafening
round of applause went up. Atlanta Ca

Rert's Picnic.

Little Bert lay on the grass under the
break. Bert was brave little fellow, and
would not cry even if he had big brnise
on his fat little knee, but this morning his
cup of grief was full and overhowing-at
least he thought go. Sister Kitty and
brother Dick were going to a picnic, and
Bert was not invited. Just what a picnic
was Bert did not know, but he had heard
Kitty talking about the woods, ice cream,
cake and white dresses, all in tumble. If
picnic meant all these, Bert thought it
must be the incest thing in the world, so
he lay out there on the grass and cried.
1t was mamma who came and found him
there, and she took poor BERTHE up in her
arms and soon found what the matter was
She tried to comfort him, but he was not
very well, and fretted about the picnic till
she told him he might go to the store for
her. Bert liked to go to the store almost
better than anything else, and he ran for
his straw hat at once, forgetting all about
the picnic, while mamma wrote what she
wanted on a slip of paper. He brought
the packages safely home, not once looking
inside them, for Bert could be trusted, if
he was only four years old. When he
reached home Kitty and Dick were already
gone, SO that he had to wink very fast to
keep from crying again.
But after dinner mamma said to him i:
"Now, Bert, you and l will have picnic,
and whom shall we ask ?" "Oh, ask Pussy
Meow and Rover" cried Bert, who could
not bear to leave out his daily playmates,
the gray cat and the large black dog.
Mamma laughed, but as soon as the dishes
were washed and put away she tied on her
bonnet and Bert's hat put some cakes,
crackers and raisins in small basket, and
all four went down shady lane back of
the house, which led to a small green
meadow. Here mamma sat down under a
tree to rest, while Bert ran around
Exploring" as he called it. His "'splor.
ing ended in the discovery of tiny
stream, which murmured and rippled over
the stones OF course he wanted to wade, so
off came his shoes and stockings, and his bare,
rosy feet splashed merrily about in the
water. Rover enjoyed the fun, too, and
ran about shaking the water in a shower
from his shaggy coat, while pussy looked
placidly on from the bank. Then mamma
called him, and he came running to find
the "Picnic spread out on the shawl,
while Rover and puss munched cracker
contentedly near by. After that Bert
found some flowers, and mamma wove
wreath. He crowned pussy queen,
but she did not seem to like it, for she
twitched the crown right into the water.
When at last, tired and sleepy, but
very happy. Bert reached home, he told
Kitty and Dick that he was sure :" his was
the beautifulest picnic in the whole world"
Puss and Rover did not say anything, but
they looked very happy as they went to
their mat to sleep Tribune.

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
Little children scold One Another.

Two little girls, one rainy day,
Who had been pleasantly at play,
With happy hearts and faces bright,
Began at lengh TO scold and fight
Then to mamma they quickly went,
To give their angry feelings vent,
And Of each other to complain,
And make indoors storm and rain.
Mamma" cried Florence, "only zee
Mamie g as mean as she can be.
Oh what naughty, cruel trick
She whipped my pussy with stick,
1t was a selfish thing, she said,
There now, Miss Mamie, that is true;
You cant deny it, no, not you"
" Now, Florry, that is just unfair;
You are Just hateful, declare
Twas you that broke my china plate,
And made picture on my slate.
say, mamma, my story 8 true,
And guess you'll believe il, too"
And mother laid her sewing by,
A look OF trouble in her eye.
Children" she said, " il this is true,
You've cot new verse, haven't you?
IT'S not like what I've always heard;
think you must have changed one word"
She looked at one, then at the other,
" Little children, scold one another"
Their faces grew like roses red,
But this vas all the mother said.
Mamie also began to cry,
But Florry whispered, with sigh,
40, dear that's not pretty verse,
Let's make 1t better fore it's worse"
And then they kissed and ran away,
But no more quarreling that day
And when at night they went TO bed
They kissed mamma, and Florence said,
"We'll have a better verse, dear mother,
Than little children, scold one another"
