No effort of man has been bless.

By the discovery of America,
Columbus furnished the homo and
birthplace ofpolitical and religious
liberty, and, as u natural result, we

ing that we who enjoy the blessings
OF the highest cvillz .tion, sholI.l
commemorate his name, and im-
press the importance OF that dis
covcry upon the minds tt the ris-
ing generation.
The Congress of the United
States has designated Friday, Oc-.
tobcr II, 1892, as the anniversary
of the discovery, and the President
has issued proclamation declaring
that day general holiday and re-
commencing that it be celebrated
by fitting ceremonies.
Now, therefore. |, Christopher G.
Handy. Acting Governor Of the
State OF Arkansas, by virtue of tho
authority in nc vested, do herei y
nominate Columbus Day, Friday,
October 2lst, 1892, ii public holiday
and 60 appoint the sano day of
day of thanksgiving.
! reccmm mend that on that day the
people Of the State cease their usual
avocations, that all business be snS-
pended to the extent possible, and
that all our people participate in
public exercise that will do honor
to the memory and achievement of
Christopher Columbus
In this celebration let the public
schools OF tho State take an active
and prominent part, that the yontE
of our land may be imbucd with pa
triotic sentiments and taught the
privileges and responsibilities of
American citizenship.
Given under MY hand, and the
great seal OF the State OF Arkansas,
at the city of Little Rock, this 20th

NEW PRODIGY AT FIGURES.

Surprising Talent for Mnth metics Mani

'Mathematicians, physicians, and philos-

is a young man of "a years of age, named
Jacques Inaudi,'' says Alfred Rivet in the
Chdaaa,a4asu-
Last February Mr. Darboux introduced
him at meeting of the French Academy
of Sciences, where he executed with sur
prising rapidity mathematical operations
requiring q great number of figures.
Jacques passed his early years in tending
sheep. He was about years old when he
first manifested his passion for figures.
While watching his flock, he
combined Numbers in his head
Very different from other known calculat-
tors, he did not try to give to his computa-
tions any material form, such as counting
upon his fingers or using pebbles, as did
young Mondeux and Ampere. Every oper-
alton with him was mental and was made
by the use of words.
"He represented numbers to himself bv
their names which his older brother taught
him. Neither he nor his brother at that
time knew how to read. He learned by ear
the names of numbers up to 100, and he be-
gan his calculations with this knowledge
He does not remember that his brother ever
taught him the multiplication table. These
cir cumstances of his early life probably ex-
ercised over his methods particular influ-

Pearson's weeklyl
Visitors to New Zealand towns, especially
Auckland, are always invited to buy Maori
curios, which include roughly carved
wooden gods. weapons and imitation tat
tooed heads. 1t is not so very long ago
since genuine tattooed heads could be pro-
cured. They were quite the fashion. Trad
ers from Sydney left orders with the Maori
chiefs they dealt with for so many dozen
tattooed heads to be ready on the return
trip. The chiefs were good business men,
anxious to carry out their bargains.
Unfortunately a raid on neIghbors did not
always come off successfully. and the tale
of heads fell short. Then the chiefs cut off
the heads of their own men to make up the
number. This fact was brought to light by
the missionaries, who did much in checking
the excesses of the natives and the villain
Gus Pakeha- Maori (white men who adopted
Maori customs and lived with the natiyes).
The traffic in human heads was eventually
suppressed by the New South Wales Gov
eminent.
Of course, before they could be sold as
curios the Maori heads had to undergo a
process of curing or drying The softer
portions, such as the tongue, were extracted,
and the interior of the skull carefully
cleansed. The inside was then filled with
dressed flax, and the skin hanging from the
neck was closed up, being drawn together
like closed purse. 1t was then demi-
cooked BY the steaming process peculiar to
the people. 1t was next exposed to the
rays of the sun and at night to the smoke of
a wood fire, which was sufficient TO preserve
j. for many years, with an occasional airing
as preservative from damp. Heads that
underwent this unnatural process became
remarkably contracted.
