To Tell Psrson,s Age.

Here Is something from q German
newspaper which will do two things for
you besides what IL pretends to do. 1t
will amuse you, will give you practice
in mental arithmetic as well as enable
YOU TO appear TO your friends 10 be an
extraordinarily gifted person. Says the
newspaper in question, the age Of per-
son and the month in which he was
born may be discovered as follows: First.
you ask him to go to the other end OF
the room to prevent your seeing
what he is going to write. Then you
ask him to put down the number
of the month in which he was born,
and multiply it by >, then add to the
sum aud multiply the latter by so, add
his age to the quotient, then deduct
365. and add lis TO the difference. Sup
pose be Is 40 years uf age, and was born
in February, the computation might
stand thus: 2x2-4, plus So, x5O-45O,
plus 49-499, minus 365-134, plus rs
24e; the last two figures indicate the
age-viz., 40, and the first figure, ?,
February, the second month OF the
wear. You simply ask the person to
state the result OF the calculation, and
then declare that he was born In Feb
ruary and is 40 years Of age.
Experiment with this as often as you
Won please, and it is sure 10 work, pro-
vided you do it correctly.

TIL. Endemic At BrunswIcls.

WASHINGTON, d. c., September 1s.-
The alarming news is received from
Brunswick, Ga, that yellow fever is
dangerously epidemic there. Past AS
sistant Surgeon Geddings, who is in
charge at Brunswick, has established a
plague camp, consisting of six buildings
and twenty tents, on the outskirts OF
the city, and a steam disinfecting car
has been put up by Surgeon Carter.
Surgeon General Wyman has taken
prompt measures TO have competent
medical aid from his marine hospital
services at the scene OF the epi-
demic. Four prominent surgeons and
several hospital stewards have been or
dered to Brunswick. This morning
Surgeon General Wyman received in
formation that nine new cases had been
reported this morning. These In addl-
tion to the twelve cases reported yes
terday makes the situation one OF ex-
treme gravity, although Surgeon Cen
eral Wyman believes that when these
members of his corps whom he has
ordered to Brunswick arrive they will
soon be able to check and stamp out the
endemic.

municipal matters, for which it had been
found necessary to issue a law but that the
Councils would in accordance with 2 Of the
Colonial Law be afforded the opportunity of
passing their opinions on same. If however
owing to the wording of 81 any real doubt
might exist with regard to this, we
would recommend to the Ministry that
such doubt be settled by an amendment
to said s, as We should consider it both natural
and fair, that the Colonial Councils be afforded
an opportunity of givin- theiropinion in regard
to proposed alterations in laws concerning
them, and it would likewise be DESTROYS that
the Legislative body of the Kingdom, before
1t takes its decision, obtain authentlcal eluoi-
datlons IN respect to the opinion in the
islands.
When it be with good easons acknowledged
that the state of affairs established by the
Colonial Law is unbearable, the necessity for
an alteration becomes evident, and against
this it cannot be argued that the State not
withstanding this VIII be placed in about the
same condition financially as at present.
The state of affairs now really existing,
whereby the State is obliged to cover the
annual deficits of the islands, can, as also
stated in the report from the Colonial Council
OF St. Croix. only weaken the feeling of respon-
siblllty and independence of the Municipali-
ties and that of the Colonial Councils, and the
guarantee for the use of the public funds
must i'll reality be looked for from the admin
is~tration, instead of, as would be but natural,
from the Colonial Councils, and we therefore
consider it as the principal advantage Of the
arrangements proposed in the Draft, that
while the islands in future would in their own
sphere obtain perfect independence they
would at the same time fully have to bear the
financial responsibilities Of how this iudepen-
dence is made use of, and there can hardly
exist any doubt but that this will not least
be Of benefit to the State Treasury.

CAPT. COOPER'S MURDERERS In IRONS.

Courtney and Taylor Make an Unsuc-
cessful Attempt TO Escape From
Somerset Jail Where They have Been
Incarcerated Since June.
PRINCESS ANNE, July 1S.-Arthur
Courtney and Henry Taylor, who have
been confined in the Somerset Jail
since the 18th of June last, charged
with the murder of Captain Frank
Cooper, made an unsuccessful at
tempt early Sunday morning to escape
About o'clock Jailer Brererton, who
was asleep in his room on the first floor
directly under the cell where Courtney
and Taylor were confined, was awakened
by a noise as though someone was prising
out bolt. His suspicious were at once
aroused, and he armed himself and pro.
ceeded to the cell occupied by Taylor and
Courtney. AS soon as his presence was
known the noise ceased, and upon exam.
ination he found that the prisoners had
succeeded in breaking open the inner
door to their cell, which was made of
wood, and had nearly succeeded in rip.
ping the lock from the outer door, or
iron grating.
As it was in the dead of night and no
assistance to be had at that time, Jailer
Brererton determined to watch the cell
until morning and then proceed to
search the room in which the prisoners
were confined. He found that the
