Mustard Plasters for Truants.

The Ladies' Protection and Relief So.
ciety, of San Francisco, has just issued
its report for 1887. There are 1000 boys
and girls in the institution, while 3b2
children have been cared for during the
past year. Considerable difficulty has
been experienced of late with the young
boys who play truant from the institu-
tion, climbing fences and going bathing
in North Beach or running around the
neighborhood. Various remedies have
been tried, among them the dressing of
boys in girls clothes, but the latest device
has proved effective. Half dozen
youngsters played truant the other day,
and on returning they received warm
welcome. The matron quietly ordered
the boys to take off their jackets and
then she applied a mustard plaster to
each of the boys backs, and now they
stop at home.-New York Graphic.

A Pretty Girl and Her Pretty Pet

A Pretty Girl and Her Pretty Pets
The humming birds belonging to a
pretty New York society girl build their
nests in the lace curtains and have
raised little families in the parlor. There
are plants for them to fly about in, and
every day the florist sends a basket of
flowers to extract the honey from. They
are like little rainbows flying about the
room, and they light on the head of their
daint mistress with perfect freedom.
She seems to have an affinity for the
feathered tribe. Outside her cham
Der window is box for dove who al
ways sleeps there at night and pecks at
the window pane when he wants to
come in. He has perfect freedom, but
chooses to remain in the house many
hours in the course of the day. This
same young lady comes in to greet o
visitor with a canary poised lightly on
her head and fluffy bullinch hopping
along after her. The latter is very
Jealous of the canary, and will peck him
and persecute him whenever he gets q
chance. .-Ne0 York Sun.

butler. 1t created scandal which has not
been forgotten yet. Nor is the general and
commendable temperance in society the re.

This done, ask him to add the two
numbers, and to give you the sum,
less any figure you may choose to re-
iect, and the space occupied by which
must be left blank or shown by a
hyphen. For example, 1851.
Putting on an inspired air, you now
assert that the figure omitted is G..
If you prefer, you can let the person
subtract one number from the other,
and then tell him the omitted num-
Der with the same ease. The trick is
simple, and the explanation of it can
be understood by any boy who has
studied arithmetic. The sum of a
number and the number reversed is a
multiple Of II, and their difference is
multiple of 8. Now. in multiples of
II, the sum of the even figures is
equal to that of the odd ones, APP
plying this rule to our example,
175SS-7, and representing the un-
known figure by x, we have plus 8
plus Z equals 1 plus Z plus 5 plus 8
equals 81. A simple mental calcu-
lation gives equals 6. Where the
number of the figures in the product
is an even one, the sum of the first
two or first three will equal the sum
of the last two or last three and so
on. Proceeding with the difference
which is a multiple of 8, the sum OF
the figures must itself be a multiple
9. Taking our example, 1850,
and adding the figures, we obtain 25,
but as this is not multiple of 8, we
have to add 2 to obtain the multiple,
and this was the figure rejected.
