s~ssAsxethod of Teschinn the Multi
:, plscation Table In~cnted by
Polish Pedsgoxue.

; The boys and girls in the schools of
Poland are taught a method of multi
piication by the use OF the fingers
1t is-sRid that the little people find it
much more interesting than studying
SO many multiplication This
method is used in multiplying num-
bers above 5; below that the children
commit to memory the few short
tables; necessary. That they may
learn Sthe finger process readily, in
the beginning the numbers are writ
ten with pencil on the tiAgernails. The
method is as follows:
The thumb, representsss6. the first
finger q, the middle finger s., the next
9, andsthe' little finger 10.
To multiply any of these numbers
the fingers that represents the multi
piier and multiplicand, orr the num-
bers TO. be multiplied, aret placed to-
gether as illustrated.
For example, to multiplyss by Q, the
fourth finger of the left hand Count

latter part of the operation, and LOG
is always added to the final result.
To multiply ID by IL place the
fingers representing those numbers
together (the third on the right hand
and the fourth on the lefty. AS be-
fore, add the upper fingers, including
'the two that touch, there are Z; with
cipher, 20. Now multiply the same
fingers that were just added, that is
the and 3 upper fingers that were
added to make and now used again
and multiplied-4x3 equals IL. This
l2swith the 20 makes So, and adding
the 100, the final result is 1s2, or 13
times IA.
ANY number from IL to IS multi
piled iin this way will give correct re-
suits, as in the case of the smaller
numbers.
This finger multiplication was in
vented by Procopovitch, a Polish
mathematician, who carries his meth
cd into many and much more difficult
combinations. = Jean Ely, in N. Y.

Portland,. old FIR. Hnr..

In Portland, Ore, there is big bay
horse named Jerry, which is % years
old, and for II years has faithfully
served the city in the fire department
Anyone who has seen a freman's
horse in active service will know that
Jerry has certainly earned his board
Now Jerry has become old and is in
clined to be stiff in the joints. Under
such circumstances a private owner
generally takes out his faithful serv-
ant and knocks him on the head, I'M
der pretense that it is mercy to
him, but the city of Portland thinks
So the fire commission
,ers have decided that they will not
sell the old fellow to be starved and
abused, nor will they theoretically"
kill him, but that he is to have free
hay and oats at the expense of the
city as long as he lives.

will derive from our future trade with China. If the policy of MT. Mckinley is carried to successful termination. If we can carry out the project as outlined, and prevent the partition of China by the nations of Europe, we will have won the everlasting gratitude of the Celestial em. pire. This will mean an opening up of trade relations that will keep our factories taxed to their utmost capacity, thus insui- ing work at good wages for our laborers,
 Manila as an American distributing point will control the trade largely of Japan, Australia, New Zealand and the islands south of China.
 All of the above, in my judgment, wll. be realized if the present policy is carried out. If. however. a change be made. and we haul down the flags, and surrender the advantages we have secured, we will loose forever, not only this trade, but the respect of the nations ot the earth.
 Leaving out all of these advantages we are likely to enjoy, provided McKinlev is reelected, and oonfining ourselves to the United States alone, can see no rational reason for oh nge.
 After twenty-five or thirty years the ad- minstration of Mr. Mckinley will be re tered to as one of the most brilliant in the history of our country.

respect nothing in government but force.
 The present administration is the "great and good friend of the trusts" It owes its position and hope of future success to trust influences. The Sherman law makes trust combinations of capital unlawful and provides penalties for engaging therin, but the law is dead letter.
 Should MT. Bryan be elected president he will commence paying off the national debt instead of increasing il; establish the policy of all paper money being issued bv the general government; and to that end substitute for national bank notes paper money issued direct by the government, and provide for the coinage of silver. He will reverse the present administration schemes of exploitation in the Philippines and Porto Rico and treat the people of these islands the same as the Cubans at the same time guarding by treaty our commercial interests. He will veto any bill that may be passed by congress to in crease the standing army and will appoint an attorney general who will enforce the law against unlawful combinations, known as trusts. MT. Bryan is committed to the advocacy of a national income tax, and would without mnch doubt have influence enough with congress to secure the pass age of such law.
 reelection of William J. Bryan. would in word, mean better and more equit- able distribution of wealth, far better opportunity to earn competency by labor CTS, mechanics, producers and small trades men, and return to that grand principle that all rightful powers is and must be based on the consent of the governed.
