The New York Tribune gives Tie
true answer to the egg problem rs u.
This is the way 1t goes: If l IL hens
in II days lag / ID eggs, three
hens III 1 II days will lay three eggs,
and three hens in three days will lay
six eggs. Hence one hen inone day
Will lay 80 or two thirds of an egg,
and in one bali of one day viii lay
one third Of an egg. If she lays one
third Of an egg IN one third Ola day,
it will take her tgree halt days, Q"
IL days to lay Il whole egg. IF sn
lays an egg in IL days she will lay
as many eggs i'll a given number IF
days rs | II Is contained in tie DAYS
named Now / IL is contained in
seven, four times and fraction; but
as the hen cannot have credit for an
egg until she has actually laid i, and
as after the expiration Of the seventh
day after she has laid four eggs, it
will still be hall q day before she can
lay another, she can only claim four
eggs-the number in tact which she
laid at the end OF the sixth day.
Hence, 6 hens in seven days Will lay
a eggs.

spaS Fortunes BE Limited by Law.
The Century of April.


live acquire the habit of now and
then looking at the case from this
side from which we unhappily so sell
dom look at it, the proposal to put
legal limits on the amount of fortunes
will take an entirely new aspect. We
shall see that we are IN reality, max
ing the definite proposal that our law
shall henceforth forbid any citizen to
make the world more than so much
richer in his lifetime, to provide en-
ployment for legally limited num-
Der of those who need and desire en-
ployment, or to become more Jealous
than the law allows in seeking out
commodities or DONG any similar serv-
ice .or the general public. Franklin
once attempted 10 reach the common
sense Of the British public in a pam
phlet entitled "Rules for Reducing Il
Great Empire to Il Small one. If a
second Franklin should address US,
must he meet as little success in com
batting the proposal to put legal linn
its on the wealth of the country? If
the proposal needed any further il
Elimination it would be found in the
impossibiIity of limiting the injurious
results OF its adoption. Human ahil
ity is in the habit OF taking very fair
average care Of itself If prosecuted
in one city 1t will not be slow to seek
a refuge and welcome in another.
If New York could place a progress
sive income above a fixed limit, one
result would certainly be Il dimunition
of New York incomes; but that would
be far from all. The incomes thus
limited would rapidly disappear from
New York, while Connecticut and
New Jersey would show a sudden,
surprising and coincident increase Of
large incomes. SO, if the scheme
should be adopted by the whole I'm
tied States, that country would meet
in indifnite dead loss, to the gain Of
Canada or Europe. Human ability
would fad its natural refuge and en-
JOY its natural iacomc somewhere, I'M
less the whole world could be united
against it as implacably as the Roman
Empire used to be against the victim
of the Emperor Until the proposal
to limit fortune by law can be sup
plemented by a recipe for securing
the acquiesence or neutrality of those
who are to be most directly affected
by 1t, it must be considered as really
outside the province of discussion. If
the great fortune is the result Of pros
tItution of the law, let the law be
made to fit the case; but if il is the
natural result of human ability, why
should 1t not so on benefiting the
community up to the natural limit of
human powers of management?

Seven free born American citizens,

were satisfied as to wages, and their
hours of labor, walked out of the
Herald Office yesterday, throwing up
situations because some loafer, not
connected with the office claimed that
two lads were employed in the job
room Of the concern, where, ~ their
opinion, there should be but one One
of these was the son Of one of the pro-
prietors, who has worked at the bust
ness nearly four years, and the other
q lad who has worked with him since
May, 1881, becoming a part of the
Office almost, having aged ana invalid
parents depending on him for sup
port. Strikes are supposed to be in
augerated to enforce just demands
and to protect labor from oppression,
but this one results from the employ
er refusing to join these ahlebodied
freemen in depressing the helpless
parents of a two-thirder. And this
is the worl, of a labor union. What
is there in this to commend such an
Institution 70 the employer or to the
sympathy Of reasonable men.

GOOD E.3GG.Ha SEA s0E.

This has been an exceptionally
good season for getting logs out Of
the woods in this section of the coun
try In late number Of the Lum-
herman we find this mention of our
locality: The abundance Of snow and
the heavy spring rains have in some
cases fully compensated for the extra
cost Of getting the logs to the banks of
the streams On the Brule all the
logs are laying at the mouth Of the
stream, the drive beng completed
Monday, and ali old logs coming
down with last winters cut. The
Amnicon is expected to be cleaned
out this week Saturday, if not before,
and the Nemadjl drive will be in the
booms of the Boom company by Fri
day at the latest, and would have
been down before this but for some
small tributary streams. Reports
from other parts of the district, the
st. Louis and Cloquet rivers, and
other streams still further down the
line OF the St. Paul and Duluth, are
that high water has brought out all
the lpgs Of the winter and others old
enough to be mossbacked. A more
successful driye has never been made
in the district.
A Washington physician having
observed how many children were
round shouldered," set about discoy-
ering the cause, and now enlightens
parents i'll regard to a custom which
is only destructive to good looks and
injurious to the health. He says:
''There is q rule in schools that child
rem, in order to fix their attention on
their studies shall sit with their arms
folded across their chest. Such
posture arrests physical development
when maintained daily for any length
of time, and viii cause the growing
ribs and carriages to adapt themselves
to its requirments, and the stoop of
the shoulders and the contraction of
the chest finally become permanent"
This is a valuable hint for parents,
who permit their children to stoop,
and will suggest to them the propriety
of inquiring how they have been sit
ting during school hours.-Sunday

What It Costs to Launch the Society

(Copurioht, 1881


NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE outfit of a
debutante is becoming as elaborate as the
trousseau of bride. Not infrequently it
costs as much, usually it is just as complete
and well ordered down to the minutest de-
tail.
To launch girl successfully in society as
charming as can be found may not involve
the expenditure of more than $50. On the
other hand 1000 is often spent and $4,000
is not considered large sum. Some fami-
lies lavish $4,000 on the adornment of a
bud just ready to unfold its leaves.

A ROMA EIDE nIRECroIRE

gown was lifted carefully from its tissue
p per wrappings the other day. 1t was a
soft, handwoven silk. like the China silks of
our day, of the same yellow green, shading
into black, that is so much in vogue this
winter. 1t dated back to the verv first
years Of the century and it was dropping in
pieces with age. 1t belonged to a belle at
the federal court, a young girl or al old
New York family, whose descendants have
treasured it as an heirloom. There was
the low neck, the pulled sleeves, the short
waist, ending just under the bust, the long
straight, full skirt. falling in clinging folds
about the figure, the very cut that jose
phine'S gowns were modelled after and that
socisty women are now reviving so far as
they can. 1t was q gala gown and very
beautiful piece of costume, but the dress
maker of 1883 would smile at the demo-
cratic simplicity of the dress maker of 1900.
1t was made up over lining of coarse
brown cotton, with unfinished seams stand
ing out in primitive fashion and set with
stitches that speak not over eweil for
the needlework daintiuess of tia period.
There was no time and no strength wasted
in lingering touches over its completion,
but when twas done twas done in stro G,
simple fashion as coed as any. With the
gown lay the corset over which il was ad-
justed; but if the robe was outwardly like
the robe of to-day the stays were like moth
ing which this generation has seen. They
were made by hand, at home evidently, of
coarse, almost barbarously rude brown
linen, stiffened by many whalebones and
by great wooden busk in front, curiously
carved. 1t was corset to outwear twenty
of the dainty satin things a girl puts on
nowadays. The brave holiday show was
wholesomely near to honest homsepun in
those days Z. P. II.
