ANCIENT ARITHMETIC.
Examples That Were Used In EEypi
5000 Years Ago.

Probably the oldest copy book for
home lessons in arithmetic was recent
ly unearthed in Egypt. The papyrus,
which was found in excellent cOndi-
ton, dates from the period about 100
B. C.-that is, about 100 years before
the time of Moses, or almost $500
years ago. 1t proves that the Egyp-
tians had a thorough knowledge Of
elementary mathematics almost to the
extent of our. own. The papyruS has
a long heading, Direction how to at
tain the knowledge of all dark things"
etc. Numerous examples show that
their principal operations with entire
units and fractions were made by
means of addition and multiplication.
Subtractions and divisions were not
known in their present form, but cor
rect results were obtained nevertheless.
Equations are also found in the pa
pyrus. Among the examples given is
this one: Ten measures of barley are
to be divided among ten persons in
such a manner that each subsequent
person receives one-eighth of meas
ure less than the one before him. An
other example given is: There are sew
en- 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, if cultivated,
have yielded seven measures of barley,
How much barley has been lost in that
way?
The papyrus also contains calcula-
tons Of area, the calculation Of the
area of circle and it's transformation
into a square, and finally calculations
of the cubic measurements of pyra-

A Text That Caught.

The following extraordinary coincf-
dence occurred at TinWald recently: A
young preacher who has lately mar
ried. was planned to take the morning
service. but, by a misleading Of the
plan, he mistook his appointment for
an evening one. Consequently the con-
gregation gathered on the Sunday
morning waited in vain for his appear
ance. Thereupon one of the office bear
ers Of the church present undertook
the service. Totally unaware that the
absent preacher had recently married,
he electrified and amused his audience
by announcing as his text, He has
married a wife, and therefore he can
not come."-New Zealand Herald.

Butter In Japan.

In reply to u correspondent, Consul
General Convey Of Yokohama has writ
ten concerning the butter trade Of Ja-
pan. The imports Of butter into Japan
for the year 1897 amounted to 1872, ASA
pounds, at a value of $87, 500 in gold.
Of this quantity the United States fur
nished rs, 600 pounds, the greater guam
tity Of which came from California.
The average price is about 85 cents per
pound. He says he has no doubt that
the United States creamery butter,
properly prepared for table use and put
up in attractive packages in such man
ner as to preserve its sweetness, would
speedily control the market. Between
March and October it is very difficult to
get butter, as all butter becomes more
or less rancid on exposure to the air, SO
it would have to be packed in small
quantities and carefully wrapped in
cloth before sealing in tins.

ally, for it is q question with me whether
a COW that ia kept in a clean box stall
will pay for the extra trouble of having
her toilet performed twice a day, un.
less the milk is to be sold for some
special purpose. The modified milkmen
brush their COWS, but they get cents
a quart for their milk and can afford to
do co. but for the average dairyman
with a clean cow it is, as / said, ques-
ton il he can do so.

Range Feeding.

The tendency Of ranchmen to feed
their own lambs and wethers at home
ON the produce Of irrigated farms sheds
a new light on the feeding situation.
So strong, indeed, is the present tend
ENJOY in this direction that within two
or three years the bulk of the male
lamb crop will be fed where raised, and
eastern feeders will be compelled 70
look elsewhere for the millions Of lambs
they are accustomed TO feed annually
east Of the Missouri river. AS there 10
no elsewhere from which to obtain
these lambs in large supply, there is
but one solution Of this most serious
problem, and that is for the feeders
and their farmer neighbors to raise the
lambs themselves. - American Sheep
