THAT SPOILT 1T.

An eccentric clergyman in Corn
wall, says Piek-MeU Up, had beer
much annoyed by way his congre
CATION had gotinto of looking rounc
to take stock of later corners. After
enduring the annoyance for some
time, he said, on entering the read.
ing-desk one day:
Brethren, | regret to see that your
attention is called away from your
religious duties by your very natural
desire to see who comes in behind
you. l propose, henceforth, to save
you the trouble by naming each per-
son who may enter, and hope that
the service will than be allowed to
proceed without interruption"
He then began, dearly beloved, ;"
but paused half way to interpolate,
Farmer Stubbins. with his wife and
daughter" Farmer Stubbins looked
rather surprised, but the minister,
with perfect gravity, resumed his
exhortation. Presently he again
paused. ''Sam Curtis and William
Diggle." The abashed congregation
kept their eyes studiously bent on
their books. The service proceeded
in the most orderly manner, the par
son interrupting himself every now
and then to name some newcomer.
AT last he said, still with the same
perfect gravity, "Mrs. Symonds, of
the Red Lion, in 4 new bonnet"
In moment he felt his mistake,
but it was too late. Every feminine
head in the congregation turnedround
to look at the new bonnet.

HE TRIED TYP5WRITlNC.
Experience of a Young Man Who Essayed
to Master the Instrument.

There IS Young lawyer in this city,
says the New York Times who does
little literary work outside of his pro-
fession. who got himself typewriter
rs IN aid 10 his labors and now he
SAYS that he is on the verge of insanity.
And he laws it all to the typewriter.
When he first sat down to the machine
lie says he thought that it would be IN
easy thing 10 master it. but in few
moments his hands were going round
in circles over it in vain attempts to
find the letter that he wanted
That was only the beginning, how
ever. for taking the matter up on
scientific basis, he set out to learn the
exact location of all the keys. BY the
end of the first day every word that he
heard in conversation set him to iigur-
ing out where each letter would be on
his key board whether in the first
row. or the second. or the third. or on
the left or the right of the middle line
of the key board. And then he would
try TO recall what little disc he had to
strike TO make Il per cent mark. and
what for the dollar sign and what for
quotation marks, and what for IL dozen
other marks, each one of which had to
be made in n special way.
Aud at the end of two months of
practice. when he could strike off the
words at rate that made the machine
rattle, and was beginning to think that
he was quite an operator he sat down
for little test. He had friend to
read to him. and for two minutes wrote
with his pen. The result was thirty
words for each minute, written very
lcgibly. Teen he tackled the type
writer. The machine made great
racket, aud he thought that he must
be making new record.
When the second two minutes were
mp the perspiralion was dropping from
his brow. The count showed TO the
credit of the second test just forty
words. and of them just nineteen were
spelled wrongly through the striking
of wrong keys. aud which had to be
corrected. \ typewriter little used
may be obtained ut a low figure.

A MORBID QUESTION AND ITS
ANCtgED

A curious question was asked by
the Paris Figaro of its women readers.
A noval entitled "Coeur de Mere
appeared in the paper. In this story
a mother of strong religious convic-
tons refuses to consent to the mar
rage OF her daughter to the man she
loves, because he is bound by vow
made to his dying father never to be
married in church or take part in a
religious ceremony. The girl dies
broken hearted, and to the last the
mother refuses the permission that
would save her child from the grave.
The Figaro asked its readers, "Was
the mother justified in Withholding
her consent and thereby bringing the
daughter to an early grave?" The
editor received I,4SI answers. Of
these OIL considered the mother
justified in preferring her daughters
death to her dishonor in contracting
a marriage unblessed by the church
SO took the opposite view and
blamed the mother, 200 answered
hesitatingly and suggested various
solutions to the problem.

The Ant as a Surgeon.

The grip of an ants jaw is retained
even after the body has been bitten off
and nothing but the head remains.
This knowledge is possessed by GER
tain tribe of Indians in Brazil. who
put the ants to very peculiar use
W hen an Indian gets cash cut in his
hand. instead of having his hand
sewn together, as physicians do in the
country he procures five or six large
black ants. and holding their heads
near the cash. they bring their laws
together in biting the flesh. and thus
pull the two sides of the cash together.
Then the Indian pinches off the bodies
OF the ants and leaves the heads cling
ing to the flesh. which is held together
until the cash is perfectly healed.

A Nip at the Altar.

An English bridegroom has been
fined for disorderly conduct during the
marriage ceremony. He was very shy
and nervous, and in order TO screw his
courage up to the sticking point he
quietly took out flask while the
clergyman was reading the eXhorta-
ton and INDUCED in nip. The
church m..s pretty dark and he thought
no one saw him. but in this he was
mistaken. for the clergyman knew the
service by heart, and instead of looking
at the book was looking ut him. and of
course saw the unrubrical act. The
result was line of s. and cost.

SOMETHING QUEER ABOUT FIGURES.
Odd Facts Concerning the Potentially
II the Numerals and !.

Mr.. John W. Kirk. the white-haired
veteran who was with Morse when the
first working telegraph line was
stretched and who stood beside the
GREAT inventor when the first message
was transmitted from Annapolis juno
ton to Washington. has made during
his life a great many interesting cal
cnI,tions in numbers The two most
remarkable numbers in the world are
8 and z.
The numeral T." says Mr.. Kirk.
1.-THE Arabians got from India. and all
following have taken it from the Ara
bans. 1t is conspicuous in biblical
lore. being mentioned over 300 times
in the scriptures. either alone or COM
pounded with other words. 1t seems
favorite nunieral with the divine mind.
outside rs well as inside the Bible. as
nature demonstrates in many ways, and
all the other numerals bow to it.
There is also another divine favorite,
the number g. the trinity. This is
brought out by a combination of figures
that is somewhat remarkable. 1t is
the six figures l42. S57.
Multiply this by ?, the answer is
Multiply this by 3. the answer is
42S 81.
Multiply this by 4 the answer is
571. 42S.
Multiply this by 3. the answer is
713. ZS5.
Multiply this by 6. the answer is
8J7,142
Each answer contains the same
figures as the original sum, and no
others. and three of the figures of the
sum remain together in each answer
thus showing that figures preserve the
trinity.
Thus 2S5 appears in the first and
second numbers. 81 in the second and
third, 42S in the third and fourth, and
142 in the fourth and fifth.
1T is also interesting to note that
taking out of any two of these sums
the group of three common to both. the
other three, read in the usual order.
from left to right. will also be in the
same order in both sums.
Take the first and second sums. for
example. The group of 2Sj is COM
mon to both. Having read 2S5 out OF
the secoud sum. read right along and
bring III the urSt inquire or the thousands
last. 1t will read III. All the Others
will read in the same way.
Again. note that the two groups oil
three in the first sum are the same as
the two groups of three in the fourth
reversed in order, and that the same
thing is trIe of the second aud third.
The last multiplication has its groups
of threes the same as those of the
original number, reversed again.
Examine these results again and
you will see that in these calculations
all the numerals have appeared save
the 9. Now multiply the original sun
by the mighty THE divine favorite oil
the Bible and of creation-and behold
the answer! The last of the numerals.
and that one only in groups of three
again the trinity!
