The Editor Not n Mathemat

Some time last week the Detroit
(Mich.) Free Press copied from an up
per peninsula paper problem which
had been handed in to the editor of the
latter, who declined to even attempt to
solve it. The problem was to find the
number of boards it would take. each II
feet long, to build fence four boards
high around a tract of land containing
the same number of acres as there
would be boards in the fence. A mathe-
matician tackled the job, and has fig
ured out that 92,16O boards of that
length, made into fence four boards
high, would inclose exactly 92.16o acres
of land.

Queer Financial situation

While the state of North Carolina
owns 100000 stock in the North Car
DINA railroad, it is said not to have had
until recently scrap of paper as tan
gible evidence of that ownership. State
Treasurer Worth has new certificate,
and whether any was ever before issued
is not known. A search of all the rec
ords and documents in the treasurer's
office failed to reveal any signs of stock
belonging to the state.

orders for 5000 of Our Golf Clubs
Taken in England and Scotland.
Perhaps the most humiliating Incl
dent to Englishmen in the invasion of
this market by Americans is the trade
just begun in golf clubs, says the Lon
don correspondent of the New York
Sun. An agent of an American house
came to London a few days ago and
had no difficulty in obtaining orders
for 5000 clubs from the largest dealers
in golf goods in Scotland and England.
The reason is that the American
clubs are better made and finished than
the English at anything like the same
price.

Blanket.

In the reign of Edward III. there were
at Bristol, England, three brothers who
were eminent clothiers and wooden
weavers, and whose family name was
Blanket. They were the first persons
who manufactured that comfortable
material which has ever since been
called by their name and which was
then used for peasants clothing.

NOW THE TROUBLE BEGINS
Hunting for Votes in the Middle of
the Pacific Ocean.

In a great many of the counties it will
require the official count and the soldier
vote to decide the result on some of the
county officers. For instance, in Leav-
enWorth county F. B. Dawes received
a majority of one for member of the
legislature. LeavenWOrth county has
one company with the Twentieth regi-
ment on the Pacific ocean, besides a.
large portion of another company in the
TWenty-third at Santiago. There is a
chance for considerable change when
these are heard from.
In Franklin county Peter Kaiser, the
Republican candidate for probate judge,
received a majority of 8, but the coun-
ty has half Of a company in the Twen-
tieth regiment and fifteen soldiers at
Santiago, which may give the Office to
the POpulists.
