A little man who runs q prosperous
drug store on Cottage Grove Avenue
has o system of bookkeeping that is
probably without a duplicate from one
end of the city to the other. His dis
tinguishing trait is an inability to re-
member names. He has a score of GUS
toners whom he has traded with for
years, and whom he knows by sight as
well as he does his own brother, but
whose names he could not call off to
save himself from hanging. The con-
sequence is, that, when three or four of
these customers have called in one even
ing, and have made small purchases
which they wished chalked up, his little
book contains entries something like
this: "Man with the black whiskers
cigars, % cents; "The short-necked
man: paregoric, 10 cents" aThe hand
some man, with the gray dilldalls, so
cents worth of Jamaica ginger; AMI so
on, This is the only set Of bookkeeping
that the little drugstore man INDUCES
in, and he says his creditors Are all good,
and never let him lose money by it.
But it would be interesting to know
how he'd address his envelopes il any Of
his debtors let their accounts run long
enough to necessitate the sending ont Of
bills. Chicago Journal.

Life At the Lick observatory, over four
thousand feet above the ocean level, on q
lofty summit, with other mountain crests
only for neighbors, is an interesting study.
Here is, probably, the highest colony In
California. The astronomers and neces-
sary employees Of the observatory form y
little world of their own, and few Of them
care often to 90 outside of it. The stage
that comes once q day brings news from
the world outside and visitors curious to
see the wonders Of the mountain. A con-
tract with q San Jose expressman secures
al needed freight once a month and some
times oftener. A butcher with supplies
comes up the twenty eight miles of tortu-
GUS mountain road once o week. Cows
and chickens are adjuncts OF the commits
sary department. Quail, rabbits and deer
are plentiful in surrounding canons and
some Of the sportsmen astronomers oeca-
~sionally bring them down. The summer
air is soft and SO rari6ed as to exhilarate
and make great exertion seem slight. All
the astronomers came from cities, yet none
complain or sigh for attractions beyond
those revealed by the marvellous tele-
scoDAs.

Unknown Sensations.

Sound is the sensation produced on
us when the vibrations of the air strike
on the drum Of our ear. When they are
few, the sound is deep; as they increase
in number, it becomes shriller and
shriller; but when they reach forty
thousand in q second they cease to be
audible. Light is the effect produced
on us when waves of light strike on the
eye. When four hundred millions of
millions of vibrations of ether strike
the retina in a second, they produce red,
and as the number increases the color
passes into orange, then yellow, green,
blue, and violet. But between forty
thousand vibrations in q second, and
| four hundred millions of millions we
have NO organ of sense capable of re-
ceiving the impression. Yet between
these limits any number Of sensations
may exist. We have five senses, and
sometimes fancy that M others are possi-
BILE. But it is obvious that we cannot
measure the infinite by own narrow
limitations.
Moreover, looking at the question
from the other side, We find in animals
complex organs of sense, richly supplied
with nerves, but the function Of which
we are as yet powerless to explain.
There may be fifty over senses as differ
ent from ours as sound is from sight;
and ever within the boundaries of our
own senses there may be endless sounds
which we cannot hear, and colors as
different as red from green, Of which we
have no conception. These and a thou
sand other questions remain # so,u-
ton. The familiar world which sur
rounds us may be q totally different
place to other animals. To them it
may be full of music which We cannot
hear, of color which we cannot see, of
sensations which we cannot conceive

Nrmhelism In Number.

Symbolism in numbers is IN nnmis-
a ksble fact in the worlds literature
and in the customs Of the world. There
are symbolic values to numbers which
are Of we'll nigh universal acceptance;
and, although there is always danger
Of being misled by fancifnl symbolizing
in such q realm as this, it il certainly
safe to recognize these symbolic values
about which there is hardly . question.
Thus three ia the divine number, not
only in the Bible story, but in the reli-
gions OF Egypt and India. Apart from
any question Of the Trinity three repre-
sents the past, the present, and the fu-
ture, and so stands for Him who was,
and is, and is Il be. Four i, the world
number. We use it thus to-day when
we speak Of the fonr quarters of the
globe, the four winds OF heaven, the
four elements of nature. Three and
four combined stand for the union or the
connection of the heavenly and the
earthly therefore seven is the sacred
number. Ten is the measure of mere
numerical completeness. as il ia under
stood by us when we speak Of q tenfold
advantage. The obvious s~ymbolisms
show themselves again in various COM
binations in the Bible narrative. With
out dogmatism it may be said that
twelve appears TO represent the multi
plying of the world number by the di-
vine number; hat it symbolizes the PEE
culiar divine provisions for the worlds
needs. Thus it was that, in the line Of
promised blessings, there were twelve
~patriarchs, twelve tribes, twelve apos-
ties, twelve foundations and gateways
Of the spiritual building. Thus it is
that there are ample provisions to-day
in the plan Of God for all the people Of
God. Even beyond the peculiar provis-
ions within the limits Of the twelve,
there are the wider provision of the sew
enty-the sacred seven multiplied by
the numerically complete ten. The
Jews hold that beyond the twelve tribes
there were seventy nations in the world.
There were seventy sacrifices offered
for these nations in the great week of
atonement. Seventy elders were the
associates Of Moses. There we're sew
enty members in the Sanhedrim. Je-
IL sent out, not only his twelve apos-
ties, but also seventy disciples, as
preachers Of the Gospel. Here, again,
is the idea Of fullness Of Gods provi-
sions for the human race. Numbers can
suggest this ~fullness, but numbers can
not define it. -Snnday-Schooi Times.
