A Chinese Puzzle.

A Chinaman died, leaving his prop
erty by will to his three sons as follows:
To Tum-Hum, the eldest, One-half
thereof. TO Nu-Pin. his second son,
one-third thereof; and to Ding Bul, his
youngest, one-ninth thereof.
When the property was inventoried 1t
was found to consist of nothing more
nor less than seventeen elephants, and
1t puzzled the three heirs to divide the
property according to the terms Of the
will without chopping up the seventeen
elephants, and thereby seriously i'm
pairing their real value.
Finally. they applied to wise neigh
Dor, Sum-Pun:i, for advice. Sum-Pupk
had an elephant of his own. He drove
it into the yard with the seventeen, and
said:
Now, we'll suppose that your father
left these eighteen elephants. Tum-
Hum. take your half and depart"
So Tum-Hum took nine elephants and
went his way.
Now. Nu-Pin" said the wise man,

Now. Ding-Bul,' said the wise man.
take your ninth and be gone"
SO Ding-Bul took two elephants and
departed.
Then Sum-Punk took his own ele-
phant and drove it home again.
Query: Was the property divided ac-
cording to the terms of the will?

Jubal was sitting in his accustomed

they were found, and no nourishment

This news was somewhat alarming
to say the least. for we well knew what
our fate would be if we fell into the

to that time, we had been living hap

Early that afternoon some one sug-

purpose. As had been reported, the
savages were gone and all that re-

English magazine published an esti-
mate of the future population of the
North American colonies. Placing the
population then at 1000, 900, and assum-
ing that it would double itself every
twenty-five years the writer estimated
that in the year 1890 the number would
have increased to 64,OOO,OOO. This may
be taken as a most remarkable proph-
