Mathematical Combination Wonders.
If you want to know to what rnnzy

depths mathematics can take you just
begin to figure ON combinations and
keep it up industriously for an hour
or two. One of the most wonderful
examples in this line, perhaps, is that
relating to the various combinations
in dominoes. Doctor Bein, n Frank
fort Germany mathematician of in
ternational reputation, has calculated
that two persons playing the game ten
hours day, and making four moves n
minute, could continue one hundred
and eighteen million years C1s, s,000,-

binations of the game, the total of

The National Association of Democratic
Clubs Recommends Its Observance.
The following notice has been issued from the
Office of the National Association of Democratic
Clubs:
Again, as heretofore. the National Associ-
alton Of Democratic Clubs respectfully adj
vises the Simultaneous celebration OF the
birthday of Thomas Jefferson by all demo-
cratic clubs. 1t is suggested that upon
that day every democratic society
in the Union should open its doors and assem-
BILE its members to commemorate in the way
most convenient and agreeable to itself the
advent Of. the. great apostle Of American
liberty, the man who surpassed all other men
in sublime devotion and practical service
to the cause Of human freedom the world over.
In SO far as the party of which he was the
father, teacher and leader. conforms implicitly
to his doctrines and example. has it been in the
past and will it ever be. at once right and re-
sistless.
The time is peculiarly appropriate for a
general renewal of our devotion to the prin-
ciples Of jefferson. For the first time since the
civil war the democratic party is about to return
general government We have professed
the purify, simplicity and frugality of
jefferson and his democratic associates
Let us, the democratic people, see
rs best we may that these professions are re-
deemed by our public servants. We succeed in
power party more fede-slist in its policies and
conduct than the original federalists them
selves, a party which has burdened the peo-
pie with cruel and needless taxes. which
has squandered the public money in
riotous expenditures and unconstitutional
appropriations, which has systematically
disreSarded the limitations Of the Constitution.
and by such excuses invited the most sweep
ing condemnation ever visited upon any party
in America. 1t has been displaced and the
democratic party restored because the people
at large desire the pure, just and con-
stitutional government which Jefferson
and his disciples gave them and which
We have promised them. The timely study and
exposition Of the BODY OF Jefferson's teachings
by the democratic societies of the Union will go
| far toward their practical enforcement in demo-
cratic administration and will resssure the
people of our fixed purpose to execute the
pledges we gave them, in virtue Of which our
candidate received their votes.
The great democratic leaders Of more than
half century ago resolved upon the annual
celebration of Jefferson's birthday. selected
the 18th Of April as the date. and for the sake
of uniformity We recommend that this day be
observed by all the democratic societies in the
| association.

Clerks Work Extra Hours,

Extra hours were begun in the Office of the

The clerks are required to work an hour longe,
each day and instead of going home at 4
O'Clock as the employees in the other division,
of the Office do they are required to stick tc
their desks until o'clock. In this way il
is hoped to be able to get the mass
OF papers in regard to appointments
in the various post offices throughout the coun-
try in shape SO that they can be acted upon
some time in the near future. 1t has been the
custom to extend the hours OF work at this
period in an administration, and also to en-
large the clerical force. Both of these means
for hurrying up the work has now been adopted
and it is expected that the appointments OF
fourth class post Offices will roll out of the mill
