Having crossed out one circle, miss the next

circles are to include those already crossed

Gle already crossed out) begin counting from
3, and cross out Q; and so on, until all the
circles except the one numbered have been
crossed out.
The general rule for any number Of circles,
counting any number each time is always to
miss the number that will bring the next
count to the circle previously started from.
Thus, If there are eleven circles, and the
count is five, miss two each time; If there are
eleven circles, and the count Is four, miss
four
This will solve all the possible cases, but
some numbers do not admit Of solution,
such as ten circles counting five The reason
for this is that the number Of circles, and the
number of the count minus one, have q COM

How Passover Bread Is Made.

In the preparation Of the Jewish Pass
over bread the kneading is done in the
ordinary way. Pure gunpowder water
is the only component added. The time
for the dough to be baked is reduced to
the minimum. Itis broken into fat cakes
and then run between rollers into very
thin sheets. Over these workman rolls
pronged steel to perforate the dough,
SO that air holes may be eeen in the baked
cakes A steel hoop cuts the dough into
round. fiat sheets, which are then ready
for the oven. The baker stands with
paddle attached to very long handle.
With the aid of boy he thrusts the cakes
into the brick compartment, and in half
a minute pulls them out ready for use.
A matzath cake is round, about four feet
in diameter, somewhat Drowned and hav-
ing slight air hole projections or its sur
face. They have rather pleasant taste,
not unlike that of crackers, and make a
good substitute for bread. In some places
there is demand throughout the entire
year for the unleavened cakes by dys-
peptlcs About eight cakes weigh a
pound, which in large quantities sell at
eight cents. The cakes are very brittle,
and their pieces are ground up into fine
meal This is the substitute for wheat

WANTED HIS WIFE.
w. A. Mcdonnell Charged With Dis-
turDing tho Peace.

At an early hour yesterday morning Officer
Rich arr rested respectfully dressed man, who
appeared to be slightly intoxicated, for disturb
ing the peace of the inhabitants of the Smith
house, on y. Spring street. by kicking at the
door OF the place. He gave his namo as W. A.
Mcconnell, and the proprietor of the place,
Louis Smith, was booked to insure his reap
pearance to prosecute. Before being taken
back to the City Jail. Mcconnell and Smith
wrangled together for some minutes about the
formers visit to the lodging house. Nc
ConDel insisted upon learning from Smith
whether his wife occupied a room in
his house, and On learning tnat she
did, wanted to know why he had been
refused admission to her. Smith claimed that
the woman was working for him, and was in
debted to him for her room and board, and in
formed Mcconnell that his wife wac her own
mistress and did not want to see him. This
statement aroused McConnelrs ire, and he was
led away to his cell in state of considerable
excitement.
A similar scene occurred on Wednesday nigh t
of last week, when Mcconnell called ut The
house, and he says he learned that his wife was
cohabiting with stranger whose name he
could not ascertain. The injured husband
called at the police station and demanded tb at
an officer be die spatched to arrest the inter
loper, but the authorities refused to interfere
in the after. The affair will in all probability
be fully aired in the Police Court today, and
some sensational testimony may be expected.

why he should assert that the original
error in the Indian survey has been
corrected. or that the line is continuous
from the eastern boundary of the terri

by the above, the records OF the survey
are absolutely and uneQuivocally to the
contrary. Any subdivislonal map OF
Dakota shows at glance that the
statement is erroneous, and that the
portions of the fifth and sixth standard

only one seventh standard parallel, but
it is not continuous.
