Puzzling.

a friend asks me to multiply SIS
by So. do so and announce the
result MS $25. Now multiply 500
cents, give the answer in cents, pure
and simple, not as fractional parts Of
a dollar. ! do so, and am surprised
to sec tho figures climb to 250,000
cents, which is $4,000.
AS IS and 500 cents are equivalent,
the result is puzzling. 1t cannot be
urged that decimal marks should be
used. a cent, as such, is as distinct a
unit as n dollar, and as the result is
to be announced in cents tho decimal
cannot be pleaded in cxtenuation of
the rather surprising result. But
there is clearly something wrong.

Facts About Senators.

There are four members Of the
United States Senate who can never
be candidates for the Presidency of
this republic, under the Constitution,
because of alien birth. Senator
Jones, of Nevada, was born in Here
fordshire, England; Gen. Mcmillan,
Of Michigan, in Hamilton, Ontario;
Senator Beck, of Kentucky, in
Dumfricsshirc, Scotland, and Scna-
tor Pasco, Of Florida, in London,
England. While it is the exception
rather than otherwise that Scna-
tor was born in the State he repre-
scnts, sectional lines have been close
y observed. Of the Northern Scna-
tors only two were born in the
South-Scnator Cullom, of Illinois,
in Kentucky, and Senator IIawlcy,
of Connecticut, in North Carolina.
Not one Southern Senator is of
Northern origin.
