The Pope Joan Legend.

In spite of the learned historian by
whom the story has been refuted, there
is still widespread popular belief that
there existed in the middle ages a fe.
male pope. Pope Joan, as she is called,
has even given her name to a game OF
cards, which is mentioned in Sheridan's
School For Scandal"
The tradition with regard to the fe-
male pope has been traced back to the
eleventh century, bu5 she is said to have
lived much earlier, her pontifcate hav-
ing taken place in the ninth century and
having lasted for more than two years.
The name she is alleged to have assumed
is John VII. At the last meeting of the
Academy Cf Inscriptions in Paris, NJ.
Muntz dealt another blow at story
which Gibbon, who cannot be suspected
of Catholic prejudices, considered had
been ''annihilated" by two Protestant
critics, Blondel and Bayle.
M. Muntz characterizes the legend as
a vulgar fable invented in the middle
ages. Never, he declares, after a care
full study of the question, has a woman
worn the tiara, and moreover there was
no interregnum at the period when the
pretended John VII governed the church.

The Letter 81" as a Mascot.

r. Es the letter 81" like the letter ''E, "
so indispensable that it is as difficult to
find a list of names without the former
appearing In 1t as it is to find complete
sentence In which the latter does not oc-
cur? Is the above the cause of its fre-
quent appearance in the names of Amer
ica's great men, or is it really a mascot
letter? Beginning with our presidents,
find it as the first initial in the names
of eight. The only president of the
Confederacy also began his name with
the little mascot" In the list of
the vice presidents I find it six times,
divided equally between the Christian
and the surnames. Among the names
of the presidents pro tenn. of the sem
ate it occurs % times and among the
speakers OF. the house IA times. Thir-
teen of the secretaries of state COM
menced their first names with 81" and
one used it as the initial of his surname.
In the realm of justice the record is equal
ly if not more startling, 81 out of total
of 55 chief justices and justices begin
ming either their first or last name with it.
Besides the above we find it in the
names of nearly all the multimillionaires
of the country John D. Rockefeller,
j. j. Astor, Jay Gould, J. M. Sears, ]. S.
Morgan, j. B. Haggin, j. W. Garrett,

An Insulted Scotchman.

The following story heard at Killarney
shows how differently an Irishman and q
Scotchman will take joke. An English
man who had been fishing in the lower
lakes said to his boatman: "An extraor-
binary thing happened to me some time
ago. lost pair of scissors out of my
fishing book at the end of the lake. The
next year was fishing here again and
hooked and killed a very large pike. ]
felt something very hard inside him, so
opened him, and what do you think it
was?" "Begorra. your honor, I'd think
it might be your scissors only for one
thing" "What is that?" asked the other.
'It's only just this, your honor, that there
never was pike in any of the Killarney
lakes since the world began"
Afterward the same Englishman tried
the same story on a gillie in Scotland
When he asked him, "What do you think
was inside the pike?" the gillie replied:
"Your scissors and nae CUTS; and the
Duke of Argyle-and he's far greater
man than the king-would not have in
suited me sac. I'll fish nae mare wi
ye." And off he walked.-"Seventy

LIGHTNING CALCULATION.
How the Cube Root of Any Number May Be
Given Instantly.

How the Cube Root of Any Number May Be
Given Instantly.
One-third memory, one-third practice
and one-third trick-that is the secret of
most of the rapid calculators who figure
before the public There are very few
calculations of which there is not short
way to the solution, but perhaps none of
them is so easy and at the same time so
surprising to the ordinary mind as the
instantaneous extraction of the cube root.
This is feat which has gained great
applause for its performers from the
days of Hutchins, "the lightning calcu-
lator," till now. The extreme rapidity
with which it is worked and the difficult
ty of the solution by the ordinary meth
ods render it one of the most taking of
feats.
Before explaining the method of per
forming this extraction of the cube root
it may be well for the benefit of those
readers who have forgotten some of their
early school knowledge to explain what
cube root is. Multiply number by
itself and the product by the original
number, and the result is cube. Thus;
9x9-s1 (the square of 81; 81 x9- 72s
fhe cube of o. Then is the cube root
Of 729.
Now for the method. First you OBJ
tain from one of the audience an exact
cube of not more than six places of fig
ures, though with moderate practice the
latter condition need not be insisted on.
Say the cube given is 140, ,6OS, of which
the root is 90. You know the cubes of
the units by heart, thus:

Playing Cards.

The Chinese, who, according to their
histories, invented everything before
anybody else, claim the merit of having
first designed playing cards and devel-
oped the games arising out of them. The
Emperor Soun-Ho had many wives, who
naturally found time hanging heavily on
their hands, so the emperor devised
amusement for them by inventing cards
-thatis, if we are to put any belief in the
words of the Chinese historians. There
were 80 cards in each of his packs-three
suits of nine each and three extra or su-
perior cards. The Chinese cards were
oblOng as ours are, while those of the
Hindoos were round.
Surprising though it may seem, it is
nevertheless true that the queen in our
suits is comparatively modern innova-
tion. The picture cards were at first
entirely military-king, knight and
knave. The Italians were the first, it is
laid, to give the lady a place in the pack.

FORTY years ago the Democratic
party would have jumped at the oppor-
tunity to annex Hawaii. Then it was
the policy of the Democratic party to
grab everything obtainable if it would
only extend slave territory and fasten
that institution more firmly on the
country. But since their pet institution
has been spewed out of our political
system they have so far changed their
policy as to not only not desire to annex
an island that would be valuable COM
mercial acquisition, but, more than that,
to restore to a throne a disreputa6le
queen in whose arteries comes the blood
of a hated race. An American born
citizen because he is black is despised
and maltreated by the Democratic party,
but foreign black queen should be re-
stored to the possessions from which
her disgusted subjects have deposed her.
Such is the change of policy from 40 to
to so years ago. Could any policy be
more Inconsistent
