How the Chinese Reckon by the Aid Of
 the Fingers.

The Chinese method of reckoning on the fingers k both simple and ingen- Ious. As each finger has thrco joints the numbers from one to nine may be indi- cated by touching these in succession, up ono side, down tho middle, and up the other side with the thumb nail. By adding a sign for the naughts and reck- oning units on the little finger, tens on the fourth, and so on, any number of five figures may be indicated, and it would be easy to modify and extend the sys- tenn for higher numbers.

NEWSPAPER CHANGES.
The Democrat to Suspend and the
Sentinel to Change Hands.

We learn that negotiations for
some days pending have been con-
sumated and papers executed by
which the Daily Democrat will sus-
pend on July 1st and the publishers
OF that paper take charge of the
Morning Sentinel on a lease from
the publishers of the latter paper.
Messrs Higgins & Reno of the Sen
tinel will retain the job department
OF the latter Office and continue to
operate the same. Thus one daily
will be eliminated from the local
field, which should be of benefit
to the two remaining, as it has GER
tainly been fully demonstrated by
the ventures of recent years that
there is not a profitable opening for
third daily in Hot Springs. The
News hopes that beneficial results
will follow to all parties concerned,
and that the two remaining papers,
morning and evening, will receive a
liberal support from our citizens. --

We see fool writing for the
Chicago Record, who says all
Texans are fools on the silver craze.
His article is a long winded produc-
tion and he tries to show that the
people we're more prosperous in
Texas when goldwas selling at 81. 10
premium, than they are now, He
does show in his article however
that the people were getting 20
cents a pound for their cotton l0 to
20 for hides while wheat, cattle,
grain and all other commodities in
proportion, and that there were
plenty of greenbaCks and fractional
currency to do the business with,
and gold was not known unless stip-
ulated in writing and was hardly
ever used in trade. Texas may
have a great many fools, but when
this Chicago man looks into the
silver party for a fool he will get
left.
