how manv cats will it take to kill one
hundred rats in one hundred minutes, is
still puzzling the brains Of many local

the question by saving it would take
400 cats of course Prof Rowe said 25
the first guess and 100 the second DR.
Reed guessed 100 and then took the
question home to study it, while many
other matbe ematicisns have given it up.

SAMUEL RUNYAN. horn June 81, 1917;
died January 80, 1885, after an illness of
about four weeks,
The deceased was born IN Jefferson
County, Ohio; removed to Monroe
County about thirty years ago, where he
resided until his death. He was convert
ed and united with the NJ. E. Church
over forty years ago and lived jealous
Christian life, devoted to his Masters
service. Many times during his last ILL
ness did he give his friends the comfort
ing assurance that he was rechnciled to-
Gods will, awaiting the summons which
should call him home, and exhorted them
"to be faithful. so that they might meet
again where partings shall be no more. "
He leaves q wife, one daughter and
many friends to mourn his departure.
But who can realize that their loss is bis
eternal gain2
Yes, we'll meet again,
Meet ne'er to sever;
Meet in heaven,
There to dwell forever.

EE For a gentleman 10 bare ais head
by lifting his hat in the presence Of 9
lady, as he passes her on the street, is a
token of respect for her womanhood.-
But for gentleman to turn his hat up
eide down, 10 passing a lady, has the
appearance Of soliciting acontribution
from her; and it looks good deal more
like mendicancy than like gallautry. Il
has now become very common habi,
ON our city streets; but it is very un-
reasonable one for all that. A safe rule
is: Never turn your hat upside down
before lady, unless You are using the
hat as contribution box, in church or
elsewhere, and are passing it to her for
her contribution -Er
