There are two systems of numera.
tion IN use at the present day, CON-
monty called the English and the
French systems In the former the
billion is million Of millions, a trillion
million of billions, and each denomi-
nation h a million times the one pre-
cedlng. In the latter. which is the sys-
TEN used in the United States, the
billion is a thousand millions. and each
denomination Is thousand times the
preceding. Therefore. according to the
English notation, n trillion is the
product of n million involved TO the
third power, or the number represented
by a unit with its ciphers annexed;
according to the French notation, the
number expressed by a unit with
twelve ciphers attached. A billion ac-
cording to the French method is the
number represented by unit with
nine ciphers and according to the Eng
lish method with twelve ciphers an

Nothing II more rare than a really
perfect nose-that is, one which unites
harmony OF form, correctness of pro-
portion and proper affinity with the
other features.
The following are, according to the
rules of art, the conditions requisite
to the beauty OF this organ
The nose should have the same
length as the forehead and have a
slight depression at its root. From its
root to its extremity It should follow a
perfectly straight line and, come exact
~ over the center OF the upper lip. The
bridge OF the nose, parallel on both
sides, should be a little wider in the
center. The tip should be neither too
thin nor too neshy. and It's lower out.
line mother narrow nor too wide. The
lobes must be gracefully defined by a
alight depression. Seen sideways, the
lower part OF the nose viii have but q
third OF its total length.

A Hunch

To the property owners of Guthrie:
Can you give reason, logical, or
otherwise, why Guthrie with its many
railroads will not be within the short
space of two years city of $4,000
inhabitants? Why it will not be the
retail and jobbing city of the south
west? Why it should not with its
excellent railroad facilities erect 3
cotton mill? It's In as good a cotton
belt as any of the mill towns Of
Georgia and a bucket brigade
would look awful good
Why the real estate opportunities
here don't offer better investments
than other cities of like size on
earth? Why the railroads are all Sc
curing terminals and acreage proper
ty here. without its meaning that
there is going to be something do
ling" Why you don't during thla
calm before the storm" have LauN
make an abstract of your property
so you can correct all flaws at your
leisure? Many a good sale falls
through on account Of defects in titles.
You experienced this during .he little
furry of year ago.
"The best OF prophets for the future
is the past" My hunch to you Is that
you govern yourself as above set
forth, generate little enthusiasm for
Guthrie and you'll soon realize that It
really deserves to be what II is-the
only city of destiny" in the south
west.

Housekeeping.

Dishwashing, sweeping and busting
have been made easy, but there is no
royal road to the mastery of the
business of marketing. 1t must be
learned by slow steps. The food
waste is not the least to be dreaded,
and through it a great many dimes
slip before the inexperienced house
keeper has seeured the knowledge
which can stop it. The proper place
to acquire the knowledge was at
home under the mothers watchful
eye.
In a few old fashioned families the
| girls are trained for housekeeping as
they are trained for society. They
begin at an early age to learn the
secrets which make home the deare at
spot on earth. They have little tasks
set them, like dusting or wiPing
/ dishes, and always under supervision
Even when servants are numerou;
There is a certain part of the house.
work VIII ch Is always done by the la
dies of the family, and no woman !:
considered competent TO rule stat
of servants until she has learned
every detail of housework.
Housework, like business, Is prop
erly conducted only by means of wei
, kept books. The wife who does no
know to a penny the cost of living i
not fulfilling her duty. An accoun
book balanced at the end of the weeI
, Is more than a check on extrava
gance; II is an aid to economy.

Song of the Ancient spfnnfng Reel.
The first reel that was invented was
the hand reel, the yarn being wound
into skeins by turning the wheel and
fastening the skeins after counting a
sufficient number of strands. The fiax
was first woven into thread, or yarn.
on the spinning wheel; then the bob
bins. full Of yarn. were placed on the
hand reel and yarn wound OF them ON
to the wheel into skeins. The strands
were carefully counted and the lieben
fastened on them to keep them togeth-
er. The lieben was a thread running
across the skeins to keep them In place.
A later invention was the clock reel.
with a face ON which numbers were
printed. and IL had two hands, like a
clock. When the wheel was turned,
reeling OF the strands from the bobbin,
the clock would tick when a certain
number OF strands were wound on the
reel, and the housewife instead of te-
diously counting the threads, as on the
earlier invented reel, would fasten on
the lieben.
In a quaint old ballad entitled Mis-
tress Polly at the Reel" occurs this re-
frain:
He kissed Mistress Polly as the clock reel
ticked.
| the kissing being done at the propi-
tious moment when Mistress Polly WAS
busy fastening on the lieben.
