the case of Mercer ct al, against Mrs
Sarah Campbell, in which the defendant
is ordered to pay reward for the appre-
hension of her son as his brothers mur-

son of Mrs. Campbell. Mrs. Campbell was
asked If she would guarantee the payment

murderer was negro who had quarreled
with her son. Mrs. Campbell signed her
name to the paper offering the reward and
guaranteeing It's payment.
When the arrest was made, Mrs. Camp
bell was Mortified to find that 1t was her
only son, James NJ. Campbell She then
resisted the payment of the reward, say
Ing that she had been deceived, believing
that the murderer was a negro.

signed a paper offering a reward for the
arrest of her own and only son on the
charge of murder?" asked Mrs. Campbell
In her answer filed to the petition, on
which suit was brought by the arresting
party for the reward
But the question of law and fact was
stronger than sympathetic appeal, and the

both sons, will be compelled to pay the
reward which secured the conviction of

Gratitude in tho Elephant.

An engineer in Ceylon being about
to approach an elephant was warned
by its keeper to stand back because the
animal was vicious. But the engineer
paid no heed to the caution, and went
straight to the stall of the creature.
hich began to caress him with its
trunk. Seeing this strange thing, the
l:eeper asked for an explanation. Then
the engineer said the elephant bad once

of road from Jaffa to Handy. One
day a large thorn of an acacia-tree-'a

rs cheek just below the eye. The thorn
broke short while the attendant was
trying to take it out, and an angry, in.
tanned wound followed. The engineer
fed and talked to the elephant, and
then applied hot water poultices to the
wound. This he did for day or two
when. having thus won the creatures
confidence, he cut down upon the thorn
ard got it out. The elephant had never
forgotten this act of kindness. although
years had passed since the engineer
saw 1t again.

JUGGLING FIGURES 1899.
ResuIts of the Work of an Arithneti'

Results of the Work of an Arithmetic

If we add together the figures con-
tanned in 1899 we find they make p,
and these added give us 8. Subtract
the first two figures, IS, from ~, and
we have 81. which added make 8, and
the letters comprising the words eighty
one are nine. Add the first two f1guI es,
1S. to 30. and we have III; these
figures, when added. again give us 9.
If we add all the principal numbers
thus far mentioned, viz, 1893, IL. 81,
III and ~, the sum Is 2, 142, and these
figures added give us 8. II we sub
tract 27 from III we have 80. which
divided by 10 again gives us 8. By sub
tracing III from 1899 the remainder
is LISP; these figures, when added, give
us IS, and these two when added give
us 0. If we add 80 and 1882, principal
numbers, not included in first addition.
to 3 142. obtained above. we have 4;O14.
and these figures. when added, again
produce 8. Now. if we add the figures
1899 to the last sum we have 5,913,
and these added produce 1s. which
again being added the result is Q.
The combinations obtained above are
very remarka Bile, but carrying them
still further, with stranger results, we
find that by adding 1899 to the sums
thus far obtained, viz, 4,014 and 5,913,
the sum is II ,S26, and by adding these
figures we have 1S, which added pro-
duce 9. Further, if we add the first
figure Of the above sum to the last two,
viz. 11S to 26, we have IA, and these
figures added give us o.
We have now tried the results OF ad'
dition and of subtraction on these mys'
tic figures, and will now see what null
tiplication will do. If we multiply 1s
by 90 the product is LISP; these figures
when added give us IS, and carefully
add the numerals used in this multiple
cation we will find the addition to be
63, and by adding these we have y
