a Quick Way to Multiply.

Everybody knows that learning the
tens in the multiplication table is as
easy az "pie" and that the fves are
not much harder. But slightas is the
mental effort required in multiplying
any number by five, it may be lessened
still more by discarding the multiplier
entirely and substituting q divisor, in
stead. This may sound paradoxical,
but by experimenting you will find
that dividing by two will bring the
same result as multiplying by five,
providing you add cipher to the quo
tient if the dividend be al even num-
Der, or five, if it be odd. For instance,
if you multiply 2734 By five the prod
uct is 1850. What is still easier,
divide 2734 by two, which is done al'
most instantaueously. Then tack on
your 0 and you have 1850.

The Real Way a Pope is Electe d. :.

AS O matter of fact the Pope is elec-
ted quite in the ordinary way. As
many of the seventy members Of the
Sacred College OF Cardinals as happen
to be in Office meet in solemn conclave
in the chapel and each writes on a
ticket his own name with that OF the
Cardinal whom he chooses. These
tickets, folded and sealed, are laid in
chalice which stands on the altar OF
the conclave chapel, and each elector
approaching the altar repeats pre-
scribed form of oath. When all have
voted the tickets are taken from the
chalice by tellers appointed from the
electing body. When it is found that
any Cardinal has two-thirds of the
votes in his favor he is declared elec.
ted. Should none have received the
necessary two-thirds another process
is gone through, namely, "access s.
so called because any Cardinal may
accede to the choice Of another by fill.

purpose. The present Pope was chosen
almost unanimously. The Sacred Col.
lege is seldom full. Just now there

Nicaragua.

The. present population of Nicaragua
Is estimated at about 400, 1000, or only
about eight to the square mile. OF
each hundred inhabitants there are
fifty Indians, one negro, forty-fve OF
mixed blood, and four whites. They
are sharply divided into classes, the
Jaballerns, Or "gentlemen," and the
poems, or laborers, who can be dis.
tinguished by their costume as far as
they can be seen. This classification
is puuctiliously observed on all occa-
sions, aud is particularly noticeable
on railroad trains and steamboats,.
The upper classes dress very much as
we do in summer, that season being
perpetual in Nicaragua. Among the
lower classes the mems costume usual.
ly consists of a straw hat, short cot
ton shirt, and trousers of darker ma.
terial. No shoes are worn, but some.
times pair of light sandals are used
as q projection against hot or thorny
ground. The dress of the women is
even more scant, being minus the hat
and sandals, O skirt substituted for
the trousers. and the arms entirely
bare.
The country people and the poor Of
the cities live in thatched huts, with
walls rudely constructed of upright
poles, or with no walls at oil. The
better buildings in the cities are Of
stone, brick, or adobe, succeed with
cement, and covered with tiles. They
are cool and comfortable, and almost
freproof, but sadly lacking in light.
The Presidents palace in Managua
has glass windows, and few Ameri.
cans in Greytown enjoy the same
luxury; but in Leon, Granada, Rivas,
or any other lefty of Nicaragua there
is hardly pane of glass.-National

says that arrangements are being made for
representative exhibits OF canned, pre-.
served and evaporatcd fruit, but that
especial pains will be taken to maintain
during the entire period OF the fair dis
play OF fresh fruits Of varieties suitable for
export.
To accomplish this 1t will be necessary to
provide supply OF choice specimens OF
the more durable fruits. such as winter ap.
pies, pears citrus fruits, cranbsrrlea and
nuts, OF the crops OF the season, for d. play
at the opening Of the exhibition and until
specimens OF the crop OF next year are
available. It Is intended that all the more
important fruit growing districts OF the
United States shull be represented In this
exhibit and the active cooperation OF
growers and other persons interested IS
therefore solicited.
The exhibit will be collective, but each
contributor will receive the fullest credit
for what he shows and the same considera-
tion from hejury Of awards that he would
have II individual space were allotted him.
Collections made by States, horticultural
societies, boards OF trade, shipping sta.

Translated Enthusians.

"He amounted to 80 little practically"
said wise man in reluctant criticism Of his
friend, "because he never translated his en-
thusiasms into action" Convictions OF duty
and visions OF opportunity are brought to
the test In practical application to the uees
Of common life. 1t Is not merely that the
world has little use for enthusiasms which
1t cannot understand, but that without en-
bodiment in common speech and vital action
thoughts are only disembodied ghosts. Ac-
ton is the great test of all enthusiasm. It
reveals and sits. 1t brings opinions from
the rosy-tinted realm Of dreams into the
clear noontide OF the work-a-day world.
There Is no disenchantment like the critt-
cism of the Indifferent and pre-occupied.
Yet this very criticism which sifts out worth
lessness confirms and increases good. We
never know the value OF real enthusiasm
until We have translated 1t into action and
seen its working outside our own thought
And by this process also our own character
grows strong. It Is not merely that what
was theory becomes working fact and
what was dream reality; but we also
change from dreamers OF dreams to doers
of deeds, and taking hold OF practical lie

SEAL ElNlSHERS,
Good Work and Good Wages For Girls
Who Can Sew Sealskins.


"About this time of year there is
plenty of work for seal finishers or
girls who know how to sew sealskin
and other furs," said a leading New
York furrier. '"Che employment OF
girls in this sort of work is compare
lively recent. A few years ago the
cutting and sewing OF fur skins was
mainly done by men. Sometimes a
man would teach his wife or his
daughter, but men monopolized the
best work and earned good wages.
There is skin cutter now working as
o journeymau in this city who is said
to be worth $25, 900, and yet works his
regular hours. He has introduced
several generations of his family into
one or another branch of the business.
"Of late years the sharp competition
which has got into the fur business,
as we'll as other lines of trade, has led
to increased employment of females
as sewers. The work is nice and re-
quires a good deal of skill. The
smooth, even colors of lady's seal
skin coat are not produced without a
good deal of patient skill and dexterity.
OF course, skins do not come perfect.
There are slight blemishes that must
be corrected. The skilful cutter takes
a skin and blows the hair aside until
he can see the roots all over the skin.
If he finds q spot that is bare OF HAIR
he must select piece of skin to fit it,
and the hair must be exactly of the
right length. On seal the hair near
the tail is shorter than the hair neal
the head. OF course, piece OF fur
from near the tail will not fit in bare
spot near the head of the skin. The
cutter has peculiar method Of shap.
ing the pieces to be set in, and this
must be understood by the girls who
do the sewing, so that girl who has
worked at the business becomes ex.
pert, and O girl who has not served
any apprenticeship at sewing furs is
of little use in the shop.
s'It is no unusual thing for one
large establishment to have fifty or
sixty girls sewing furs in the busy
season Of the summer. The most e1.
pert girls readily get employment the
year round, while those who are less
expert are the first to be discharged,
and go from shop to shop. The
wages earned are somewhat higher
than the prices paid for ordinary sew
ing, as the business is somewhat un'
healthy and requires considerable
skill. The girls earn from So to sec
per week."
