why Jim Would Win.

jim and Tom agreed to get up lit
tie match in addition, whereby the
winner will be the one who first reach
es hundred by calling out a number
alternately which, when added to the
foregoing, is no less than one and not
more than seven.
Now. Jim knows thing or two, and
wins the match, and, moreover, he pre-
diets to Tom that he will surely win it
in spite of all that Tommy can do to
prevent it. Which numbers must Jim
name in succession to be sure to win
the game every time?
In this case, Tom begins with three.
The solution is: Jim names every
time that it is his turn the highest num-
Der which can be divided by four not
by eight. No matter what number Tom
names, keeping within the range of
seven upward from Jim'S number. Jim
follows up with say four tom having
begun with three), twelve, twenty,
twenty y-eight, thirty-SiX, and so ON up
to ninety-tWo. Now Tom is compelled
to name a number within range of
ninety-three to ninety-nine. and it is.
of course, Jim's turn to say one hun
dred.
Try II. and let your fellow contestant
begin with any number he chooses
You are sure to beat him every timG

Charlie ascended the staircase to
Mrs. Hicks room feeling considerably
bewildered. The doctor was there and
several neighbors and little Mary had
her place by the bedside
But Charlie did not notice any of
these, he felt sorry for Mrs. Hicks. She
was sitting bolstered up in bed with her
eyes staring wildly around. When they
rested on him she said:
''Ha! ha! that's the little boy! He
was drowned in the duck pond. This is
only his ghost. Come here, little

Charlie felt afraid, but the doctor told
him to go She graSped his hand firm

know then that she was your own

When Mrs. Norman recovered she was
told that the two children had died at

Soon afer imparting this information
Mrs. Hicks died; but before her death
she had a lucid interval during which
she told them where they would find

Charlie was greatly rejoiced to learn
that sweet Mrs. Norman was his own

Although the sad circumstances at

The Latest.

The honeymoon album is the fash
ionable brides latest caprice. 1t IS
simply put together, being, as rule,
made Of a number of sheets of heavy
linen paper cut a fancied size, usually
wider than long, and inclosed in covers
that may be anything, the satin of the
wedding dress over Bristol board,
pieces of rough cardboard on which
are painted the bridal blossoms, white
chamois. vellum, duck-anything. The
stationer'S albums may be bound in
softly decorated vellum, and decorated
with hearts and darts like valentine.
Those most representing the spirit of
the thing are made by the brides own
hands, ornamented with painting or
embroidery. or whatever decoration
she is skilled in. Into the album go
various souvenirs of the wedding jour
ney that most brides collect and pre-
serve but only late ones have thought
of arranging. A menu card from the
first hotel meal, picture of the steam
boat in which they crossed lake, river,
or sea, the seat checks of the first thea
ter, pictures of various places at which
they stopped, these and more put in
with a pressed flower or a scroll of
designation with date and any addenda
the happy two may design make col
lection that will long be treasured.

SEVENTEENTH YEAR.
WHEN BABY WAS SICK.

When the babes had tonsilitis, oh, Lord.
but what time!
The father of all poets could not tell it
half in rhyme.
1t was hustle for the doctor at II o'clock
at night
And scurry to the drug store before the
mornings light.
Then, baby's pills at seven and other ones
at eight,
Prescriptions next in half an hour, dom t
be minute late.
And don't forget the powders and the
iron for the blood,
And peptonoids at eating time to take
the place of food.
And when the darlings walked and cried,
twas papa walk the floor,
With twenty pounds on one arm, on the
other fifty more,
And keep the house warm all the time,
and don't get in a draft,
And don't mix the medicines. Why didn't
/ go daft?
The doctor brought them through all
right, and thank the Lord for that,
And both are strong and rosy now and
both are getting fat
He showed most WOndrous skill, think,
as doctors often do,
But what | marvel most at is that wife
and l lived, too.

FLIGHT OF THE eoNAPARTEs.
Able to Turn Exile to Advantage by
Easy Morality.

Able to Turn Exile to Advantage by
Easy Morality.
After the last fiaSco before the cit
adel of Ajaccio, the situation of the
BuOnapartes was momentarily deSper-
ate. Salicetti had arranged for his
own return to Paris, where he would
be safe. Napoleon felt that flight was
the only resort for him and his. Ac-
cOrdingly, on June IL, three days ear
lier than his patron, he and Joseph, ac-
campanied by Fesch, embarked with
their mother and the remainder of the
family, to join Lucien, who had re-
NAMED at ToulOn. The Jacobins of
that city had received Lucien, as Cor
sican Sympathizer, with honor. Doubt
less his family, homeless and destitute
for their devotion to the republic,
would find encourage cement and help
until some favorable turn in affairs
should restore their country to France,
and reinstate them not only in their
old possessions, but in such new dig
mites as would fifty reward their long
and painful devotion. Such, at least,
appears to have been NapoleOn'S gen
eral idea. He was provided with a le-
gal certificate that his family was one
of Importance and the richest in the
department. The Convention had
promised compensation to those who
had suffered such losses.
AS had been hoped, on their arrival
the Buonapartes were treated with
every mark of distinction, and ample
provision vas made for their comfort.
By act of the Convention, women and
old men in such circumstances receiv-
ed rs francs a month, infants 10
francs. Lads received simply pres
ent of % francs. With the prelimi-
nary payment of 80 francs, which
they promptly received, the Buona-
parties were better off than they had
been at home.
Lucien had appropriated NapoleOn's
certificate of birth in order to appear
older than he was, and having now de-
velOped into a fluent demagOg!le, was
soon earning small salary in the com
missary department of the army
Fesch also found a comfortable berth
in the same department. Joseph calm
Iy displayed Napoleon's commission in

vention was everywhere acknowledg-
ed, their revolutionary courts were es-
tablished far and wide and their lega-
tions clothed with dictatOrial power,
were acknowledged in every camp OF
the land as supreme, superior even to
the commanders-inch chief. 1t was not
exactly time for further military lr-
regularities, and Napoleon, armed with
a certificate from Salicetti that his
presence in Corsica for the past six
months had been necessary, betook
himself to the army headquarters at
Nice, still cherishing hope, it seems,
that he might find some opportunity to
lead a successful expedition against
the little citadel of Ajaccio. Such
scheme, at all events, occupied him
intermittently for nearly two years, OF
until it was banished forever by Wis
ions of a control far transcendinS the

Three Stages.

Physicians tell US that most people
die prematurely through needless ex-
posure to injuries, such as infection,
improper food, excessive drinking, i'm
pure air, dirt of various kinds, expos
ure, accidents. unhealthy occupations,
improper clothing, and so on. The three
stages in the journey in life are, first,
growth, from one to twenty-five; second,
maturity, from twentysix to fifty;
third, decline, from fifty-one to seventy
five. A large majority of the race are
constructed to live from seventy to
eighty years Most men in the second
stage of life eat too much if they can
afford it. The best time for marriage
is not less than ten years before the
summit of life's journey, which in men
is about forty, in women thirty
At forty and after great attention
should be paid to maintaining the
same body weight, any great increase
or decrease being dangerous. Exercise
and diet can do this to some extent, for
exercise till a man perspires decreases
weight; if only till he is warmed, it in
creases it.

MAKING PATENT LEATHER.
1t Cannot Be Guaranteed, Although
the Process Is Difficult.

1t Cannot Be Guaranteed, Although
the Process Is Difficult.
Japanned leather. generally called
patent leather, was first made il Amer
lea. A smooth, glazed surface is first
given to calfsl1in in France. Tue Ieath-
er is curried expressly for this purpose,
and particular care is taken to keep it
as free as possible from grease; the
skins are then tackled on frames and
coated with a composition of linseed
oil and umber-in the proportion Of
eighteen gallons of oil to five of umber
boiled until nearly solid and then
mixed with spirits of turpentine to its
proper consistency. Lampblack is also
added when the composition is applied
in order to give color and body. From
three to four coats of this are necessary
to form a substance to receive the var
niSh. They are laid on with a knife CT
scraper. To render the goods soft and
plant, each coat must be very light
and thoroughly dried after each appli-
cation.
A thin coat is afterward applied OF
the same composition, of proper con-
with sufficient lampblack boiled in it to
make perfect black. When thorough
ly dry it is cut down with a scraper
having turned edges. 1t is then ready
to varnish. The principal varnish used
is made of linseed oil and Russian blue,
boiled to the thickness of printers ink.
1t is reduced with spirits of turpentine
to a suitable consistency to work with
a brush, and then applied in two or
three separate coats, which are scraped
and pumiced until the leather is per-
fectly filled and smooth.
The finishing coat is put on with spe-
cial care in a room kept closed and
with the floor wet to prevent dust. The
frames are then run into an oven heat
ed to about 175 degrees. In preparing
this kind of leather the manufacturer
must give the skin as high 4 heat as it
can bear in order to dry the composition
on the surface as rapidly as possible
without absorption, and cautiously, so
as not to injure the fiber of the leather.
1t is we'll nigh impossible to guarantee
the permanency of patent leather, no
matter how expensive or how careful
be the preparation, for it has a sad
trick of cracking without any justitia-
