Self Wounding,

This note is from the HiIo Herald:
\ horse belonging 20 a native fell in
TO one of the holes on the Volcano
road a few days ago. As there were
no means Of getting the horse out OF It's
predicament II was left 10 die.
The impression here given Is that
the volcano road Is a series OF blow
holes and washouts. The fact Is that
the road is kept in good repair, but
runs through some broken country
that might hold a herd OF horses.

poLAND,s apRocopovITcH,"
A system of MuItipIication whicA
VIII Punsle People In This
r Country.

A Polish mathematician has just in
vented an ingenious system whereby
large sums may be multiplied on the
fingers with much less trouble than
with pen or pencil. The system bears
the name of its inventor, Procopovitch,
and already has been introduced into
the schools throughout Poland. A lit
tie study of the illustration will enable
anyone to do sums. Children are first
required to mark the numerals on the
ends of their fingers that they may re-
member them more readily, but adults
can get along without this aid by mem-
orizing the position of the numbers.
The system is not used for multiply
ing numbers of less than six, since such
problems can readily be done mentally.
The fingers are first numbered az fol-
lows: The two thumbs represent 6. the
index fingers each represent 7, and the
middle fingers s, the ring fingers .
and the little fingers 10.
In order to multiply any two of these
numbers the fingers representing the
mpltiplier and the multiplicand are
placed together. Now, beginning with
the fingers placed together one counts
the number Of fingers including these
two, and moving toward and including
the thumb. The sum will be the num-
Der of tens, or the first numeral Of the
product.
A certain number Of fingers stiIl re-
main below the fingers which have been
joined. The fingers remaining on one
hand multiplied by the number remain-
ing on the other win give the NUM-
ber Of units. or right hand unit OF the
product,
In multiplying eight by nine. for in
stance. the middle finger Of the right
hand is placed against the ring finger
Of the left hand, as shown IN the Illus
tration. Counting the number al I'm
gers above those placed together. and
including these, we obtain seven fin
gers, or seventy. There are-now re-
naming two fingers on the right hand
and one on the left, which, when null
tiplied, give two. These two, added to
the number of tens give y, the product
Of eight by nine.
Other combinations win suggest
themselves on the experimenter study

The Transvaal Dispute.

The Boer says: This is our
country. We snatched it from the
savages. We made farmland Of
the wilderness. You want it be-
cause of the gold and diamonds.
You demand equal franchise. This
would mean political extinction
for us. By the convention of 1884
you promised never tointerfere in
our internal government. Now
you ignore those conventions. We
want no English among our cit
izsns. You are immoral and VIC
ious. You would not make good
burghers. If our laws please you
not, you are free to go away. If
God wills it, we will fight to the
death.
The Briton says: We helped
you fight the Kaffirs. We devel-
oped the mines and made you rich.
We built the cities. We seek only
to protect our subjects in their
legitimate pursuits. We pay nine
tenths Of the taxes. Don't we de-
serve vote2 The majority ought
