a cool spring bubbled up; refreshed my self with a drink of the clear, sparkling water, and then took up my walk again.
 But toward evening, being certain must have lost my way entirely, determined to inquire at a large farmhouse that stood a short distance from the road among clump of old trees.
 4 large colored woman, with O red ban dana tied over her head, was sweeping the leaves from the walks as I came up. She paused when she saw me, and rested her hands on her hips, while a look of won- der crept over her black face. | timidly in- quired the distance to B.
 Law press ye, honey, yer on de wrong track sure enuff," she cried. Why Bal timore is clean twenty mile from here; yes comin' away from dar, chile."
 looked at the woman in blank amaze ment; then, sinking down on a seat, near, burst into tears, quite overcome by this rev elation and feeling heartsick and forlorn in- deed.
 ''Oh! sho now, don't cry honey" said the sable dame, kindly. "Ye's clean tuckered out, can see. Now just come in de house and rest Q bit"
 Her kind words encouraged mo some what, and I arose and followed her into tho house. She led me into the ample kitcher where the floor shone with cleanliness anj where the bright rowH of tins gleamed il the sun that slanted across the room.

The magic square was held in greaS Eeneratiop among the Egyptians and dedicated to the then seven known plan- cts in various ways. To Saturn they at tributed the square of nine places, the side being three and the sum of the numbers in every row being fifteen. To Venns they attributed the square have given. Finally, they attributed to God the square of only one cell, the side of which is only unit, which, multiplied by itself, undergoes no change. The ancients having used these magic squares for various purposes, they be- came subject of consideration among mathematicians; not because they i'm agined that they would be of any solid use or advantage, but rather as a kind of play in which the difficulty makes tho merit. If your young readers want little recreation in the com bination of figures, let them make large square in which there are 256 smaller squares, and place in those smaller squares all the numbers from 1 to 256 in such 8 manner as will answer the following conditions: l. The sum of the sixteen numbers in each column or row, Eertt- cal or horizontal, to be 2,056. 2. Every half column, vertical or horizontal, makes 1,02S, or one-half the sum of 2,056. 8. Half diagonal ascending added to half 8 diagonal descending makes also the same sum-, ,056, taking these half diagonals from the ends of any sides of the squares to the middle of 1t, and so reckoning them either upward or downward, or sideways from right to left, or from left to right. 4. The same with all the parallels to the half diagonals, as many as can be drawn in the great square; for any two of them being directed upward and downward, from the place where they begin to that where they end, their sums will make the same, 2,o56. 5. If a square hole equal in breadth to four of the little squares be cut in paper, through which any of the 16 little squares in the great square may be seen, and the paper be laid upon the great square, the sum of all the 16 num- bers seen through the hole is always equal to 2,056, the sum of the 16 num- bers in any horizontal or vertical column.
 am not prepared to say whether there Is more than one correct way of placing the numbers which will fulfill the above conditions, but can assert that if a thousand people now com mence to arrange the figures they may work all their lives, and each of them l form a square a minute, and although every combination may be different, they will not have completed one- millionth part of the wrong combina- tions which can be made. Perhaps this is sufficient refutation of the frequent assertion that there is no rule for the formation of these magical squares.

How . Rural Hebe Disconnected Yanke,
 Insurance Man.


 Insurance Man.
 The girl who waited at our table in the little hotel had big brown eyes, a soft voice, and enough rural modesty to fit out fifty city housemaids, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. It was suff1cing pleasure to ask for something you didn't want just to see her blush and hear her say: '1'm afraid we haven't any, sir?' But smart insurance man, one of those keen Connecticut Yankees who go West to take advantage of the country before it grows up, was inclined to tease our rustic Hebe. He gave minute directions to her about the frying of his steak-the civilization of the place had not reached the broiling point-and sent back some boiled eggs because they wore not done enough.
 "Wiu you have some pertaters, sir?'' the waitress asked, as she was taking away the eggs.
 "Yes, Mary, want some potatoes"- nobody else had called her Mary, and 1t was not her name-"you'd better COOK some for me, and I'll have them later on. You must boil them with their jackets on-now be careful about that and put a pinch of salt in the water, and"-he paused, and Mary, who had been gazing at him steadily with a heightening color, said: "Pertaters with their jackets on, sir?"
 "Yes, Mary"
 "With or without, sir?'
 "Without what?" queried the Yankee, Q little confused.
 Buttons" said the girl, and amid the laughter of all but her disconnected tor Doentcr she made her escape.
