sums Over Which Egyptian Children Pug
E!ed Their Hralna.

E!ed Their Brains.
Probably the Oldest copy book for
home lessons in arithmetic was recently
unearthed in Egypt. The papyrus. which
was found In excellent condition, dates
from the period about 1900 B. C.-that
is, about 100 years before the time Of
Moses. or almost 5000 years ago. It
proves that the Egyptians had thor
ough knowledge Of elementary mathe-
matics almost to the extent of our own.
The papyrus has long heading, "Di.
rection how to attain the knowledge of
all dark things" etc. Numerous exam
pies show that their principal opera.
tions with entire units and fractions
were made by means of addition and
multiplication. Subtractions aud divi-
sions were not known in their present
form. but correct results were obtained
nevertheless
Equations are also found in the papy-
rus. Among the examples given is this
one: Ten measures of barley are to be
divided among ten persons in such q
manner that each subsequent person re
ceives one-eighth Of q measure less than
the one before him. Another example
given is: There are seven men, each
one has seven cats, each cat has eaten
seven mice, each mouse has eaten seven
grains Of barley. Each grain Of barley
would. IL cultivated, have yielded seven
measures Of barley. How much barley
has been lost in that way? The papyrua
also contains calculations Of area, the
calculation Of the area ef q oircle and
it, transfosmation into Q square. and
finally calculations Of tina cubic meas.

From the Times-Herald. Chicago, III.
Late in 1861, when President Lincoln il
sued a call for volunteers, L. j. Clark, of
Warren, Trumbull Co, Ohio, was among
the first to respond. He joined the mortar
feet of Admiral Porter just before the
memorable operations on the Mississippi
River began. 1t was at the terrific lombard
ment of the vicksburg forts that the hero Of
this story fell with a shattered arm from
charge Of schrapnel.
After painful months in the hospital he
recovered sufficiently to be sent to his home
at Warren, Ohio. Another call for troops

Anarchy.

We have proved beyond question that
we can have strong government with
out even nobility or king. There is
less government in the United States
here to-day than almost any other
country of the world, a nearer ap-
proach to what the philosopher would
call anarchy. Anarchy does not mean
disorder, when q philosopher Is talk
ing; it means merely the absence of ex-
ternal government. And that is the
ideal we are approaching.-Rev. NJ. J.
