The Fate of Admiral Byng.

Admiral John Byng was the fourth
son Of the Earl of Torrington and serv-
ed in the British navy, rising to be
admiral of the red in 174S, when he
was a years old. In 1856 he was Sent

ANCIENT ARITHMETIC.

Examples That Were Used In Egypt

Probably the oldest copy book for
home lessons in arithmetic was recent
~ unearthed in Egypt. The papyrus,
which was found in excellent condi-
ton, dates from the period about 170f

the time Of Moses, or almost 5000
years ago. 1t proves that the Egyp
tians had a thorough knowledge O.?
elementary mathematics almost to the
extent of our own. The papyrus has
long heading, Direction how to at
tain the knowledge of all dark things"
etc. Numerous examples show thar
their principal operations with entire
units and fractions were made by
means Of addition and multiplication
Subtractions and divisions were not
known in their. present form, but cor.
rect results were obtained nevertheless.
Equations are also found in the pa
pyrus. Among the examples given is.
this one: Ten measures of barley are
to be divided among ten persons in
such a manner that each subsequent
person receives one-eighth OF a meas
ure less than the one before him. An
other example given is: There are sew,
en- men, each one has seven cats. each
cat has eaten seven mice. each mouse
: has eaten seven grains of barley, each
grain of barley would if cultivated,
have yielded seven measures of barley.
How much barley has been lost in that
way?

tons Of area, the calculation of the
area Of circle and its transformation
into square, and finally calculations

In speaking to the writer about tie

has upon the production of bright
and delicately shaded dyes and colors.
famous English manufacturer Of
carmine recently said:
Some years ago was aware of the
superiority of the French carmine, and,
being anxious to improve upon my own
process, went to Lyons and bargained
with the most celebrated manufacturer
in that city for the acquisition of his
secret, for which was to pay $4,000.
Well, I was shown all the process
and saw most beautiful color pro-
duced, but noticed that there was not,
the least difference in the French mode
of fabrication and that which I con-
stantly adopted myself. I thereupon
appealed to my Instructor and insist
ed that he must have kept some secret
concealed. The man assured me he had
not and asked me to inspect the proc
ess second time. I accepted the in
v1tation, and after I had infinitely ex-
amined the water and the materials,
which were in every respect similar to
my own, still felt so much in the dark
that said, I have lost both my labor
and money, for the air Of England does
not admit us to make good carmine'

deceive yourself. What kind of weather
is it now?

to the making of many other colors

A Text That Caught.

The following extraordinary coinci-
dence occurred at Tinwald recently: a
young preacher, who has lately mar
ried, was planned to take the morning
service, but, by a misleading of the
plan, he mistook his appointment for
an evening one. Consequently the con-
gregation gathered on the Sunday
morning waited in vain for his appear
ance. Thereupon one of the Office bear
ers Of the church present undertook
the service. Totally unaware that the
absent preacher had recently married,
he electrified and amused his audience
by announcing as his text, Gle has
married a wife, and therefore he can
not come. New Zealand Herald

A PECULIAR SPIDER.
He Catches Birds as Big as Larl1s In
His Mammoth Web.


Far up in the mountains of Ceylon
there is spider that spins web like
bright yellowish silk, the central net
of which is five feet in diameter, while
the supporting lines, or guys. as they
are called, measure some9.1.-;,s 10 or II
feet, and, riding quickly II the early
morning, you may dash right into it,
the stout threads twining round your
face like lace veil, while, as the
creature who has woven it takes UP his
position in the middle, he generally
catches you right in the nose, and,
though he seldom bites OF stings, the
contact Of his large body and long legs
is anything but pleasant. If you forget
yourself an6 try to catch him, bite he
will, and, though not veuomous, his
jaws are as powerful as a birds beak,
and you are not likely to forget the en-
counter.
The bodies of these spiders are very
handsomely decorated, being bright
gold or scarlet underneath, while the
upper part is covered with the most
delicate slate colored fur. So strong are
the webs that birds the size of larks
are frequently caught therein, and even
the small but powerful scaly lizard
falls a victim. A writer says that he
has often sat and watched the yell
low monster-measu1ing when waiting
for his prey, with his legs stretched
out, fully six inches -striding across
the middle of the net and noted the
rapid manner in which he winds his
stout threads round the unfortunate
captive.
He usually throws the coils about
the head until the wretched victim is
first blinded and then choked. In many
unfrequented dark hooks Of the jungle
you come across most perfect skeletons
Of small birds caught III these terrible
nares.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

THE PAGES DIFFICULTY.
He Told His Troubles Right Out at
the Wedding

the Wedding
A good story comes from Atlanta,
but the incident happened several sea-
sons ago. The occasion was a swell
church wedding. The edifice had been
gloriously decorated. The bride, sur
rounded by a company Of pages, flow
er girls and maids of honor. was slow
" passing down the aisle, while the
prospective bridegroom and his best
man and the officiating clergyman
were taking their places. The church
organ was pealing forth the sounds as
of joyous wedding bells. Fashionable
/. people dressed for the occasion occu-
pied the seats of the handsome church.
1t SO happened that one Of the pages
had in the rush of business prepara-
tory to dressing for the occasion been
turned over to the care of a nurse As
he proceeded down the main aisle Of
the church in company with the other
youngsters, who in white satin suits
were doing the honors of each respec-
tive household, he suddenly espied his
mother seated in one of the pews.
At this point the organist began
playing softly as the wedding party
passed to the altar. Then, above the
gentle strains Of music clear as bird
could be heard the voice of the afore
said small boy.
Mamma" he shrilly cried, nurse
put on my panties wrong side before.
and 1 can't hardly walk''
OF course the Mortified mamma could
do nothing but blush scarlet, but lifted
a prayer that the young scion would
keep still from that time on. And he
did and received a hearty kiss from
the bride at the close of the ceremony.
This is true story and can be vouch-
ed for by those who attended the wed
ding.-Galesburg (Ga.) Mail.

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS TONIGHT.
Question of Party Tick 81 for CITY Of
Nss Anars fc, Re- Undermined

a
The caucus OF republicans OF the city.
called by County Chairman Devine. will
be held in the east court room tonight,
and the attendance will be large. The
caucus will determine, first, whether or
not a party ticket shall be placed in
nomination for the election to be held
on Monday, March %. There 10 little
doubt but that the caucus will be all
most unanimous in favor of q rarty
ticket this year, as very few have OPP
poeed the plan during its discussion
during the past three weeks. If action
favorable to the plan is taken, the eau
Gus will appoint committees to fix the
date for a primary election and arrange
for perfecting a republican organization
for the city distinct from the county
organization.
The meeting should be largely attend
ed by representative republicans and
