Suppose a person takes an even number
of coins or counters, or anything else in
one hand, and an odd number in the other,
there is simple method by which to tell

Ask him TO multiply the number IN his
right hand by an odd number and the
number in his left hand by an even; then
let him add the two products together and
tell you if the total sum be odd or even.

The Hard Fate of the Farmers Wife.

Every day Of her life she goes through
the dreary, monotonous round. At an
early hour, every morning through the hot
summer, she prepares the same black coffee
and fried pork (perhaps hot biscuits), and
before she can clear away the breakfast
things and make the bed she hears the
calves bleating, the milk COW stamping,
both Impatient to have the mornings bust
ness done with. Then comes the dreary
routine of the forenoons work, the baking
of bread, the washing and the like, until
the meridian sun warns her that the ever
lasting midday meal is due and must be
ready at once.
To round up the duties and responsible
ties of the day her labors are carried far
into the night, and often, very often, they
continue long after those of the male por-
ton of the family have ended. She has
long since ceased to think about her per-
sonal appearance. a tender kiss from her
husband would almost surprise her. Once
she greved that her little girls were so
barely clad; now she scarcely thinks of it.
That she should have a spare hour every
day to read never enters her head, and the
bare suggestion that on every Sunday she
should dress up" and devote herself, dur
ing the rest of the day, to social intercourse
would cause a stare Of incredulity.
For be it understood that Sunday for the
farmers wife is a sort of clearance day to
adjust the odds and ends Of the previous
weeks cares and labors, to be in readiness
for the renewed labors Of the coming
week.-John w. Bookwalter in Forum.
