ORIGIN 3. EIashemasicnl signs.


The sign of addition is derived from
the initial letter of the word plus
In making the capital letter it was
made more and more carelessly until
the top part of the Pr was finally
placed near the center; hence the plus
sign. as we know it. was gradually
reached.
The sign of subtraction was derived
from the word minus" The word was
first contracted in N. n. S. with a hori-
zontal line above to indicate that some
of the letters had been left out. AT last
the letters were omitted altogether,
leaving only the short line.
The multiplication sign was obtained
by changing the plus sign into the let
ter .'x" This was done because null
tiplication is but a shorter form of adj
dition.
Division was formerly indicated by
placing the dividend above horizontal
line and the diviser below. In order to
save space in printing the dividend was
placed to the left and the diyisor to the
right. After years of evolution the
two DIS were omitted altogether, and
simple dots set in the place of each. As
with the others, the radical sign was
derived from the initial letter of the
word "radix'
The sign of equality was first used
in the year 1857 by sharp mathema-
tician, who substituted 1t to avoid fire.

Quite delegation, mostly repre-

Manchester, went to the Department
Convention at Cedar Rapid, to help to
elect the Department officers. MrH.
Jennie !. Berry of the Convention City
was elected president, and she will
certainly be an honor to the Depart
ment, as she is capable, deserving, and
well fitted for the position in which
she has been placed. We are happy
over the election of our choice for Pre-
sident, Mrs Berry. A goodly number
from w. A. Morse Post were in at-
tendance at the encampment and we
certainly alihsd jolly time and came
home tired but happy over the returns
for they are all good loyal men and
women that have charge of affairs in
the department.

NJ emorial Services.

Sunday morning, May "a, the mem
bers of the w. a. Morse w. r.. q. met
with our president, Mrs. Crosby. and
after DOMINIC our memorial badges,
marched to the corner of Franklin and
Butler streets, where headed by the
Post we proceeded to the Presbyterian
church where we were seated. And while
from various sources we learn that the
tribute to the Grand Army Of the Re
public and the heroes who have crossed
the river were of unusual interest other
years, we can report larger attendance
this year and more patriotism displayed
by our citizens than ever before, and
we listened to as fine discourse az one
could wish to hear, by the Presbyterian
minister. Rev. kirkwood.
The W. A. Morse Post and w. r.
c. occupied the front seats, and the
church was filed to overlooking as we
listened to the beautiful words of
the good man, who seemed to know
just how to talk of our Country's Cost,
and TO our Grand Army Of the Repub-
lie. When they were founded these
were their three objects: To promote
the love aud practice of fraternity liber-
al distributions of charity, and unequi-
vocal loyalty. And we, as an auxiliary,
are to do what the word implies, be q
helper
In his address, explaining the true
character and aim Of the Grand Army.
he referred to lts influence as teacher
of patriotism to the rising generations.
The tree of liberty, watered and train
ed, by the influences of the Grand
Army, will send forth no disloyal
shoots to dishonor our flag, but every
branch as 1t takes up its burden OF life,
will have that vital principle Of loyalty
30 engrafted that treason can iever
destroy it, and when the encampmen.s
that know us now shall know us no
more forever, the feeling of fraternal
regard we have nourished will shed its
silent tear over our graves. The charity
We have promoted will throw Its mantle
over our shortcomings, and the spirit Of
Loyalty we have cultivated will still
rally round the tlag we loved, to per
petuate our memories
Altogether 1t was day we'll spent,
and long to be remembered, and it
seems to me these gatherings become
more interesting every year.

obiections.aze being urged, to the use

Objections.are being urged to the use
OF wine at the christening of the battle
ship Kansas. Some contend that it
would Be more appropriate to use
bottle of pure spring water. At times
we have inclined to the opinion that
change might be made from the his
toric custom on such occasions, but can
see no goodfreason for making an ex-
ception SO far as Kansas is concern
ed. On the contrary there is an argu-
ment in favor of the custom in the
present instance. A battleship is of
little use, except for fighting purposes,
and what is;the equal of Kansas liquor
for the development of fighting quail
.{tfes? We have heard 1t asserted, by
one who had ought to know, that E
teaspoonful of Kansas wine would
make rabbit bold enough to spit in g
bulldogs face.
