What is a billion? The reply is very
simple-a million times a million. This
is quickly written, and quicker still pro
nounced. But no man is able to count it.
You count 100 or 40 minute; but let us
suppose that you go as far as 200, then an
hour would produce 1900; a day 298, 600,
and year, or 365 days, los, 100000 Let rs
suppose now that Adam, at the beginning
of his existence, had begun to count, had
continued to do SO, and was counting still,
he would not even now, according to the
usually supposed age of our globe, have
counted near enough. For to count a
billion he would require 0,512 years, 342
days, hours and 20 minutes, accord
ing to the above rule, Surprising we
were to allow poor counter twelve hours
daily for rest, eating and sleeping, he would
need 19,025 years, 3f9 days, 10 hours and
As minutes.

Two Clever Women rhwarted.

The other day two women entered one of
those dry goods store restaurants which
have recently sprung into being, and seat
ing themselves at a table asked the wait
ress to bring the bill of fare. One imme-
diately fastened to say that she didn't care
for anything. The other wanted a cup of
tea. AS soon as it was brought she tasted
it and exclaimed:
"Dear me, this is altogether too strong
Bring me cup of hot water please"
The waitress brought the water and then
went away. AS soon as her back was
turned the woman, smiling to her friend,
began to manipulate the cup of tea and
the cup of water. First she put little
water in the tea, and then little tea into
the water, until finally the two were evenly
divided, and 10! instead of one there were
two cups of tea. OF course her friend, who
did not want anything the moment before,
was now ready to take some tea, and two
cups of tea were secured for the price of
one. At least that was what the women
thought until they came to pay the check,
when they found upon the bill of fare this
item:
Zone cup of hot water, six cents"
AS the tea was only eight they really
saved two cents.-New York Sun.
