'"Why do you keep it so blazing hot9"
inquired a patron of the proprietor as he
entered restaurant. "Because it is cold
outside" replied the proprietor. After
the patron had left the premises the
restaurant proprietor contidingly made
the following confession to newspaper

experience has taught me that under
ordinary circumstances men devour
more food at a single meal in piercing

can relate for proof an incident which came
under my notice few days since: A young
man In camp on q small secluded lake was
hunting the river that ran close by. As
motionless as statue in the front Of the
boat. with the bull's-eye lantern throwing
its light over his head. and his guide In the
stern padding without the slightest noise
-as is wholly necessary-the young hunter
had his eyes fixed on the shores for the
unwary but sensitive deer. Suddenly he
saw ball OF fire directly ahead of him. He
raised his rifle and was about to shoot
when his common sense reminded him that
no animal could have such an eye as that.
Hardly had he lowered his rifle when q
sharp crack pierced the air. the lantern
over his head came down upon him. and he
was left in darkness. His guide called out.
in language more eloquent than poetic, to
whoever had fired that shot not to fire an
other. The next instant boat ran up
alongside OF the young mans. and in the
bow OF it he discovered fne-looking girl
with jacket buttoned up about her ears.
a peak cap pulled down over her forehead.
and a rifle balanced across her knees. He
laughed at the idea OF her shooting the
lantern of of his boat. but she was almost

OF course she was gracefully forgiven.

the young man.

writes Blakely Hall. in the Chicago
Inter Ocean. The book-makers may
be screaming out the odds and the
common people roaring their delight
during the progress of a race, but the
noble sportsman rarely raises his voice
above its ordinary conversational tone,
and he must be watched closely and
continuously before one can detect the
muscular twitchings, the involuntary
flush, the gnawing of the neither lip
which prove that his calmness is simply
assumed, because it is supposed that
only the vulgar people wear their hearts
upon their sleeves. Occasionally human
nature will cause even a noble lord to
break through the artificial restraint
when he has an unusually heavy stake
upon particular horse. and then he
proves to be quite q common person,
cursing his hard luck in ordinary oaths,
or offering to stand drinks with the
irrational enthusiasm and generosity
of the dry-goods young man who has
won his first bet. But these occasions
are very rare, and receive no encour-

His Royal Highness does not bet for
himself, his commissions being executed
by tombstone, Abingdon, and Chetwynd.
He wins much oftener than he loses,
because his advisers, knowing that the
royal temper is apt to be upset at the
end of bad day, take care to give him
what they believe to be the very
straightest of straight tips.
The Princes favorite racing town is
Newmarket, and he loves it because
the natives do not mob him whenever
he stirs abroad. I met him in High
street there week or SO ago strolling
along quite unattended and unnoticed.
He was got up in correct sporting fash
ion, and wore among other striking
things q pair of long yellow riding
boots which well set off the handsome
legs and ankles of which his Royal
Highness is inordinately proud. I
have frequently seen the Prince In
London, and upon every occasion his
face had the same mechanical, half
foolish, half-amiable smile, which is
part of the royal outfit when moving
about town. At Newmarket, however,
the Prince was without the stereotyped
smile and walked along whistling and
whacking his big boots with a whip as
though life was worth living there at
any rate. The Princes eldest son,
Albert Victor, better known by his
popular name of collars and Cuffs,
is fast young man, who is engaged
Just now in having his fling under the
kindly and not unsympathetic eye OF
his royal papa. Albert Victor is not
beauty, and would be considered an
average specimen of an ordinary dude
were it not for his neck. which Is as
long as q cameleopard's and attracts
unwelcome attention wherever he goes.
The youngster has recently registered
his own colors, but only for regimental
racing.

A Task in MULTIPLICATION.

A problem that at glance seems
easy enough to tempt many schoolbpy
to spend a portion of his vacation in an
endeavor to solve it, appeared recently
in Maine journal, and is as follows !:
Take the number Is. Multiply it by
itself and you have 225. Now multiply
225 by itself, then multiply that prod
uct by itself, and so on until fifteen
products have been multiplied by them
selves In turn. The question aroused
considerable interest among lawyers in
Portland, and their best mathemati-
clan, after struggling with the prob
lem long enough to see how much labor
was entailed in the solution, made the
following discouraging report: @The
final product called for contains So, 539
figures (the first of which are 1412.) }
Allowing three figures to an inch, the
answer would be over 1910 feet long.
To perform the operation would re-
quire about 500, 900, 900 figures. Hthey
can be made at the rate of 100 q minute,
a person working ten hours q day for
300 days in each year, would be twenty
eight years about it. If, in multiplying.
he should make row of ciphers, as he
does in other figures, the number Of
figures used would be more than $685.
939, 22S. That would be the precise
number of fiures used if the product of
the left-hand figure in each multiple
cand, by each figure of the multip;ier
was always single figure; but, as it is
most frequently, and yet not always,
two figures, the method employed to
obtain the foregoing result cannot be
accurately applied. Assuming that the
cipher is used on an average once in
ten times, Ats, 900, 900 approximates the
actual number. Boston Transcript
