A Trick with Figures.

The following mathematical trick,
from La Nature, although not new,
may be revived for the benefit of
those who are unacguainted with il.
1t never fails TO mystify those who
do not understand it.
Tell person to select any even
number of figures and, without let
ting you see them, to write them
down and then place under them the
figures in reverse order. Thus, for
example:
9435ls
Sl5349
This done, ask him to add the two
numbers, and to give you the sum,
less any figure which be may choose
to reject, and the space occupied by
which must be left blank or shown
by hyphen. For example, 1881.
Putting on an inspired air. you
now assert that the figure omitted is
6. If you prefer, you can let the per-
son substract one number from the
other, aud then tell him the omitted
figure with the same ease.
The trick is simple, and the expla-
nation of it can be understood by any
boy who has studied arithmetic. The
sum of q number and the same num-
ber reversed is multiple of IL, and
their difference is a multiple of 8.
Now, in multiples of IL, the sum of
the even figures is equal to that of
the odd ones. Applying this rule to
our example, 1881, and represent
ing the unknown figure by we
have plus 8 plus L plus plus
plus 81. A simple mental cal
culation gives x=6. Where tie
number of figures in the products is
an even one, the gum of the first two
or first three will equal the sum OF
the last two or three, and so on.
Proceeding with the difference,
which is multiple of 9. Taking our
examples, 1859, and adding the
figures, we obtain 25, but as this is
not multiple of 9, we have to add 2
to obtain the multiple, and this was
the figure rejected.

numbering past the three convicts jumped
on the roof of a rear car and in an instant
had slipped down and secured temporary
shelter between the cars from any bullet

None of the guards, however, saw the
movement, and consequently the fugitives
made good their escape. A telegram was
afterward sent by the prison officials to
Iarrytown to intercept the train, but a
search there for the missing men proved
fruitless. A brakeman said that he saw
two men jump off the train short distance
south Of Scarboro, and another jump off
within mile of Tarrytown and flee to the

How to Kill Weeds and Stir the Soil
Among Hocd Crops.

How to Kill Weeds and Stir the Sou
Among Hoed Crops.
Every farmer knows that he can do
better work in the way Of killing weeds
and stirring the soil among the sO-called
hoed crops with a horse and cultivator
/ than he can possibly do with the hoe.
A field can be gone over twice with
horse in the time it would take to 60
over it once with a hoe. and at much
less cost. Frequent tillage is of great
Importance, especially with the corn
crop and the best work should be done
near the plants. This makes IT i'm
portant that the planting be done with
care and accuracy, in order that the
rows may be straight. Then the culti-
vatOr can be run close to the rows, and
the fresh earth turned right up to the
plants as we'll as if done by hand. If
the rows are not of an even gauge
throughout the cultivator can not be
perfect.

and do it well, by horse power pos

who has to go over his field with the
noe. He gets a better crop at less cost.
The man who depends upon the hoe is
the one who complains that farming
does not pay The first thing in order
is to have the ground in the best pos
sible condition for planting; that is,
prepare a good seed-bed. Many good
planters claim that by thoroughly
stirring the ground before the
seed is put in half the cult
waiting is done before the corn is
planted Then as soon as the corn or
potatoes appear above the ground har-
row and cross harrow the surface with
light drag. This will kill the. first
crop of weeds before they have fairly
started. Nature here comes to the aid
of the planter, for the weed seeds, ger
inmate so near the surface and are
withal so tender that slight disturb
ance of the soil is certain to kill them
while the corn or potato plants are al
ready well rooted and can safely with
stand the movements of the drag. This
process should be continued at short in
tervals until the crop is four or FIVE
inches high, when a good cultivator
should be used. Corn cultivators are
usually made with two broad teeth or
shovels and too few of them for doing
close and fine work. They are from
four to six inches wide, and if run near
to a plant may either uproot or cover it.
up. Besides, the surface is left in
ridges. This may be avoided by MAX
ing the teeth narrow and putting in
twice as many of them. Then they may
be run close to the plants and the sur
face left smooth and fine. Getting close
to the plants is very important in the
early tillage, but later, when the roots
have spread between the rows, the till
age should be narrower as well as shall
lower. This plan of horse tillage, if
well carried out, will bring the best re-
suits from the crop and save time and
money for the farmer-He7uy LUes, IN
