A problem that at glance seems easy enough to tempt many aschoolboy to spend a portion of his vacation in an endeavor to solve it, appeared recently in a Maine journal, and is as follows: Take the num- Der 15. Multiply it by itself and you have 225. Nov multiply 225 by itself, then mul. tiply that product by itself, and so on un- til fifteen products have been multiplied by themselves in turn. The question aroused considerable interest among lawyers in Portland, and their best mathematician, after struggling with the problem long ed in the solution made the following dis couraging report upon it: ssThe final product called for contains 2S, ,53O figures (the first of which are ], ,412). Allowing three fgnres to an inch, the an. swer would be over 1,070 feet long. To perform the operation would require about 50O, ,OOO, 900 figures. If they can be made at the rate of 100 a minute, g person work ing ten hours a day for 300 days in each lyear would be twenty.eight years about it. If, in multiplying, he should make row of ciphers, as he does in other figures, the humber of figures would be more thar 523, ,939, ,228. That would be the precise number of figures used if the product o
 the left hand figure in each multiplcand
 by each figure of the multplier was alwayl a single figure: but, as it is most frequent ly, and yet not always, two figures, tn. method employed to obtain the foregoing result cannot be accurately applied. As snming that the cipher is used on an aS
 craze once in ten times, 475, ,0OO, 900 ap EpfOximates the actual number"

THE EARLY FLY.

It is in the morning early, ...
 When we're sometimes cross and surly. And we feel that we must rest trife more,
 That the worst of all annoyers,
 The great prince of rest destroyers, The pesky fly, begins his gay and festive soar.
 We pretend we do not hear him,
 That it's not worth while to fear him, And we tryto make ourselves believe we sleep,
 Then he lights on arm or shoulder,
 But he very soon grows bolder, And directly for our ears begins to creep. | Then it is we give up dreaming, When, our brain with wild thoughts teaming, We proceed to kill him with fearful slap; With a slam we spread our fingers All about the spot he. fingers, But the fly escapes-we's'e nothing but the slap. This performance oft repeated Gets our patience oyerheated, And we swear the house of flies shall now be shorn. Then we presently forget it, But we'll grievously regret it
 When we try to sleep again tomorrow morn

WHY THEY PLAYED BILLIARDS ALI NIGHT. good story is told of the late s. L. M. Barlow's experience several years ago with some democratic friends who had gone to his summer home at Glen Cove, on Long Island, to spend a holiday with him. The party was made up of the late Gov. Tilden, Charles A. Dana, then, as now, editor of the Sun; Manton Marble, editor of the World Smith M. Weed, since become prominent in politics, and one or two other men of position. After dinner his guests made their way to the billiard room and began to play. Before long MT. Tilden confessed to sleepiness and proposed to go to bed. MT. Barlow accompanied him, with the purpose of re turning later to his pleasure seeking friends but when he got up.stasss he reached the conclusion, that, as his guests knew where to sleep, he would follow MT. Tilden's ex tample. He did so and slept soundly unti after daylight the following morning. Or awakening he heard the rattle of the bil Hard balls, and concluded that, as hi guests were such early risers, it was quite desirable that their host should get out 8, soon as possible. He did so and went tt the billiard room, where the game haf proceeded without interruption througl the whole night. He found at the door the only exit, his faithful but fierce bull dog, standing guard. The guests hat made, during the night, one attempt afte another to get away and go to bed bu the bulldog had done his duty so success fully as to prevent their departure, an, there was nothing else to do through al the long watches of the night but to return to their cues and billiard table.

THE DOCTOR CURED WITHOUT MEDICINE.

< The other day an incident occurred to sick young man that caused him to get up and walk forth, we'll and sound. He lived on an uptown street not far from Fifth avenue. Returning home after a day spent at the seashore, he was taken ill suddenly. He sent servant out to bring in the near est doctor. Not many doors away the servant saw sign reading, say Dr. M. A. Jones, for am not at liberty to give the real name. Ringing the bell hurriedly he was admitted and asked to see Dr. Jones. "Dr. Jones is in the back room with pa tient and will be through in two seconds, !" said an assistant.
 "Tell the doctor to go to No. =, few doors above, and see dying person.
 In less than five minutes 8 good-looking young woman was ushered into the house of the sick man.
 IA servant girl on duty at the doer said he was in the second floor, front, and in g twinkling the young woman, with little medical handbag, was knocking at the sick man s, door.
 "Come in, doctor" piped feeble voice. In another second the young woman stood beside the bed and sgazed into the young mans face 5E*SAs ssYou cent for mel?'' she said, somewhat embarrassed.
 | s'Nc, sent for doctor" he roared. "I am doctor, she answered quietly. s'I want man doctor. did not send for you" he fairly yelled.
 "Your servant came for me, she blush ishly replied as she retired gracefully from the room. When she had gone he jumped up, put on his clothes, rushed down stairs and waited in the hall for the male servant to come in, who, it seems, had gone for some ice after he had left Dr. Jones's office. He did not have long to wait, and as soon as the servant entered the erstwhile dying man sprang upon him. | @'I'lI get even with you for sending Q woman to doctor me 1" he yelled. The battle was short but furious, and the ser want was knocked out and the ice scattered all over the hall. Instead of going to bed the young man went out and spent the evening going around telling his friends about the episode.
 The next day he was we'll, as usual, ano ashamed of the part he played. He made it all right with the servant, wrote beau tiful note to the young female doctor, in closing her good fee, and telling her tha her presence cured him without any medi cine. He goes to call upon her now, and they laugh over the incident.

 This is but sample of the announce ments which appear from day to day. Any of them might furnish text for sermon On the Inconvenience of Marrying Royal Princess, and especially Princess Royal. What these innocent sentences denote so clearly is the social separation between two persons who are presently to be husband and wife. The wife has precedence. That is not without precedent in ranks below the royal. You read of the presence or ar- rival of the Duchess of Montrose and MT. Milner; of Julia Countess of Jersey and MT, Branding. The husband being commoner comes after his wife, whose ti- ties have to be recited first. Yet it would seem odd to read that the Duchess of Mon. trose, who arrived at Windsor, was accom-. panied by MT. Miner or that Mrs. Smith arrived at Long Branch accompanied by Smith. Once married, Princess Louise and Lord Fife expect to escape these awk- wardnesses. The princess becomes count

 to drop her title of princess is, however,

 averted, and the only way to avert 1t is for
 the princess royal to renounce her right oi succession. A question hardly less diff , cult has been disposed of this week-none } other than the question what sort of 8 cor. , onet the princess should wear or bear after she had become Lady Fife. Should it be a royal coronet 1? Should it be the coronet of mere countess, or of duchess, il 7 duchess she bep The highest authority has ) settled this momentous matter, and the l queen herself has determined that the cor 3 onet shall be the coronet appertaining te f her station and rank as daughter of tho Prince and Princess of Wales.

Holmes In a Hustler,

&. b. Holmes, president of the Daven-
port & Rock Island Street Railway COM
pany, is making it rather warm for his
street railway rivals in Indianapolis
The citizens there are taking lively ia
terest in the railroad fight. and the city
is making common cause for the time
being with the Holmes syndicate. An
Investigation shows that the capital
stock of the johnson company, Mr..
Holmes opponents, has never been paid
up that its articles of incorporation have
meyer been filed with the recorder. and
that it is very doubtful if it is a company
at all. There is, in fact, nothing in ex-
istence showing that any consideration
was ever paid for the stock to its original
holders, nor is the method OF it's
transfer made clear. The identity
OF the Dudley Cable Road company and
the present johnson Street Railway COM
pany is not definitely established. The
resignation of its officers is shown, bear
ing date March, 1888, and no new offs
GERS were elected until last Saturday. In
the new company E. St. George Rog>
ers holds one share and Johnson holds a
majority of the stock; but as far as has
been shown in c1 urt nothing has ever
been paid for it, and it has value be-
cause none of it was paid up. 1t is
claimed by the citizens generally that the
Holmes company has made many i'm
provements since buying the old COM
pany out, and the impr ession is general
that johnson is seeking to make some
thing out Of nothing, and tn at he does
not intend to operate electric cars at all,
as it claimed when it started line, q
week ago, in direct competition with the
Holmes lines. In other words, a game
of bluff has been attempted, that has
failed to work W it'll Nh. Holmes.

WHAT DUTY DEMANDS.
The Improvement Associations
Time to Act.
The Second Aven ne Paving Ordinance
and How Far IL should be Guarded.
Protect the City's Interests.

One of the prime objects Of the Rock
Island Citizens I'm Improvement association
when it was orgarized last fall was in
substance. to encourage the city's growth
improve and enlarge its opportunities
foster its present industries and encour-
age and provide for new ones and to ad.
vance the clty's interests in every way
possible. In carrying. out the objects. of
its organization. the association has thus
far met with very gratifying success. 1t
has been the author of the special assess
ment ordinance, under the provisions of
which the city is to be greatly beautifed
and improved this spring. aud above all,
1t has succeeded in getting the PROPOSE
ton to pave Second avenue through the
council in the shape of an ordinance
authorizing the work. But the associs-
ton has met with AN obstacle. one that
may appear in every community to the
detriment of every progressive interest
to-wit the kicker. 1t is this stumbling
block that the assoc alton ought now to
work increasingly to put down. There is
a class of individuals who make it bus
mess to growl about everything that is
attempted in the way of enterprise and
progress. They would raise objection if
the city were to be paved throughout
with gold gratultously. and pray that the
material be taken up and something be
put in place in its stead. just so it was not
gold.
The duty of the Improvement associa.
ton now is to call meeting and appoint
a proper committee to see to it that the
paving ordinance is not jeopardized by
the influences of those. who, while pre-
tending to be opposed to granite, are in an
indirect way attempting to kill the
entire ordinance. The ARGUS, as it
stated last night. while emphatically
favorable to granite, does not desire that
material if the majority of property
holders want something else. 1t is
anxious that the preference be obtained
at once, the proper material decided
upon, and substituted in the ordinance
for granite. but don't, for mercy sake,
permit any action to be taken that will
interfere with the carrying out of the
general purposes of the ordinance-to
pave this spring.
