FIGURES.

There is something uncanny about
figures. They possess marvellous prop
critics which, though perfectly well
known, are nevertheless Incompetent
sible. Every one knows that If you
multiply 81 by 3 or any multiple of 3
up to q the result is that all three
digits are the same.
All thes strange properties possessed
by figures are recognized phenomena,
which are to be accepted rather than
explained. But when we get to the
rather more involved mathematical
calculations the uncanniness of fig
ures Is further involved. Take, for
instance, the familiar puzzle, which
is easily explained by the mathemati-
clan, but causes bewilderment to the
typo in figures.
Two men have 60 oranges each. The
first seels half at two a penny and half
at three a penny. Let us work out the
sum. Thirty sold at two a penny bring
him in Is pence; 80 at three a penny
fetch 10 pence; total. 25 pence. The
second sells all his 60 at the rate of
five for twopence. There are IL sets
of five in 60; hence he receives IL two
pence, or "a pence.
Apparently both men sell at the
same rate-they do not do SO really
and one receives n penny more than
the other. Verify, there is something
extremely uncanny about figures.

tempt the feminine fancy. The little
woman and her one helper were kept
busy the FIST few days and Miss Jane
thought her visions Of success were
not SO unfounded as to be ridiculous,
for none flowed freely into her cof-
fers. But after the first excitement
trade settled down considerably and
there was plenty Of spare time for
breathing.
For the first time in her life Miss
Jane learned what 1t cost TO live. Hav-
ing lived most Of her life in the coun-
try, where things were had 'for the
raising" groceries gotten in exchange
for country produce and no rent to
pay, even the amount it took to run
her little establishment was alarming
to her. Anxieties would creep in occa-
sionally. II the fall trade was not
good how was she 20 get through the
winter? Such thoughts worried her
often through the week, but on Sab
baths, being a good E~piscopalian, she
dismissed them and, prayer book in
hand, wended her way devoutly to the
chapel.
Mr.. Hope sat in the pew just In
front Of her and sometimes when his
pew cverflowed with his grandchildren
or other guests he sat by Miss Jane
and held her hymnbook while they
both sang. At such times she felt a
delightful thrill of excitement, but tried
to repress it and say her responses rev.
erently and place her thoughts ON spir-
ftual things. But she was always glad
when Mr.. Hopes pew overlooked.
Fall came on apace and the little
milliner found ii necessary to consult
the banker again. This time she told
him she had 500 in money, but not
another penny. Would he advise her
20 u this into flowers and feathers
and other requisites Of her trade. or
would It be flying in the face of provi-
dsnce to use III
use II by all means, Miss Jane.
Times are looking up. business is go
ting to revive and / am sure your
money will be more than doubled" he
answered.
Again acting on his advice she
bought the best her money would buy
and began TO prepare for her "fall
ooening." Her nimble fingers copied
pattern hats and dainty bonnets until
resting in her showcase and on the
hat forms were as tasty and enticing

A BUSINESS VENTURE.

Il N r
"a sign hanging above a little shop
soid the world Of Hayside that Miss
Jane Dody. milliner, had started in
business.
|, onul this sign appeared Haysiders
haa been obliged to drive to Nesburg
OF e to the city for their milliners
and having formed the habit it was a
question whether they would break II
anu patronize the new establishment.
MISS Jane did not know many towa
people Tor she had lived in the coun-
ny with an old aunt, who had lately
died, leaving her a legacy Of $500. 1t
was a small capital, but being entirely
dependent on her own exertions Miss
Jane decided to start a millinery shop.
she was old enough to decide for her
sell, being almost 10, but she was a
timid woman and thought it better TO
ask Mr.. Hopes advice first. Mr..
nope was president of the bank, an old
friend of her aunt's and much admired
and respected by herself. He was just
entering his seventies. but many a
man of so envied his vitality and
y~outhfulness of feeling. He was a
wldower and lived alone in the great
house" OF the village, where he dis
pensed hospitality and charity with
an open hand. Rich, influential AID
BUSY. he yet had time to listen to any
tale OF distress or give advice when
requested. Mr.. Hope had always liked
little Miss Jane and was more than
willing to listen to her plans and help
her all he could. She was shown into
his private Office at the bank, blushing
! K one of the roses she held in her
hands and making quite a pretty pic
ture.
Il have $500, you know, Mr.. Hope.
would you advise me to start a millin-
cry shop with it or save it and go to
the city to get employment" she
asked.
MIR. Hope knew how difficult 1t would
be Tor a woman like Miss Jane, un-
trained and timid, to get work in the
city. and quickly told her it would be
best to try the shop and he was sure
she would get on well.
Bring on the best goods you can
get and you will be sure Il succeed.
Everybody will buy from you. / don't
wear boz sts myself" he added, laugh
ing, "but III send all my friends to
you."
At the close of this interview the
prospective milliner left the banker
with a light heart and had visions of
a little shop expanding in time to a
great establishment, where she her
self was mistress of a great army or
assistants.
In a short while the new store was
opened to the public. its owner having
stocked up in the city and bought a
small but handsome line OF goods to

been seen by the town. The night be-
fore the opening she retired late, but
woke up from a dream Of being choked
to find her room full Of smoke. AL
most stifed she threw on her wrap
per and cropping her way to the door
ran out into the street crying "Fire!"
The house was a double one and the
other side was already wrapped in
flames when Miss Jane gave the alarm
and the other tenants. whose careless
ness had caused the fire, barely escaped
with their lives.
Poor Miss Jane stood in the street
wringing her hands in despair while
the cruel flames devoured her pretty
hats and bonnets. as II they were but
a delicious morsel, until a kind neigh
Dor came and led her home.
The opening day" had arrived, the
little millinery shop was open, in very
truth, to the public, but there was
nothing but ashes to gaze on. Black
despair, starvation, ven the poor
house, stared Jane Dody in the face, as
oitetiS DJ tAC hclslDOI . nCdl III CuC
went silently and dared not look into
the future.
Early in the morning Mr.. Hope
heard the news.
He remembered It was by his advice
that all the milliner's money was in
vested In that now ruined stock. Poor
little woman! What could he do for
her? He could not offer her money or
a home. A home? Why not? He
smiled at the thought and the little
nilliner's sweet face, sweet though no
longer youthful. appeared to him with
new charm. Hastily leaving his house
he sought and found Miss Jane.
When he asked her to marry him
she said mo" at first, for she felt sure
it was only pity that moved his heart.
But she looked so sweet and confused
when she refused him that the dear
old gentleman fell in love with her on
the spot and succeeded in making him
self, as well as her, believe hat he had
really loved her a long time and had
only awaited a favorable opportunity
of telling her. So, having 10 one to
consult, they were married the very
next day, in spite of the bride-elect's
protests that the haste was unseemly.
Hayside had not recovered from the
excitement caused by the fire when 1t
had another shock. 1t occurred when
the Weekly Local published the fol-
lowing item: Married, Thursday, at
10 a. m, Mr.. Richard Hope and Miss
Jane Dody."

AN IRON FOUNDRY AT SEA.
The Usual Luxuries of Such Work
Ashore Entirely Missing.

The Usual Luxuries of Such Work
hore Entirely Missing.
A foundry at sea had not been heard
of before the cruise of the Vulcan, says
the Engineering Magazine. Whatever
other kind Of naval repair work had
been executed heretofore on board
ship, that of making large brass and
iron castings had not been attempted.
In her facilities for this new line Of
work the Vulcan stands pre-eminent
and alone. That the unique equipment
for foundry work was successful is
more than shown by the fact that thou
sands of pounds of iron and brass cast
ings were made and finished for the
ships of the fleet. The brass furnaces
were kept in almost constant service,
sometimes running off two heats a
day, and making it necessary to carry
the work far into the night, much to
the discomfort of the men, who were
trying to get some sleep and rest be-
fore another days work. In iron cast
ing not more than one heat was run
off in a day, and that usually about 3
o'clock in the afternoon. For after
films the molds and dropping bottom,
it was practically impossible to do
much more in that part of the ship till
the next morning. Kipl!ng has sung
for the Scotch engineer and stoker, but
there "a no h~eaven-born genius on
board the Vulcan to treasure up the
memories and III incident to drop
ping bottom. The usual luxuries OF
such ashore were entirely missing.
Like the fiery furnace OF old, the heat
seemed seven times more intense than
it was wont to be ashore.
