The Migratory Crab.

The West Indian migratory crab is
the only creature that is born in the
sea, natures in fresh waters and passes
it's adult life on land. Once a year
these creatures migrate in thousands
from the uplands of Jamaica, deposit
their ova in the sea, then migrate to the
rivers and streams, pass through a
fresh water stage, after which they fol-
low their parents to land until the time
comes for them to return to the sea to
lay their eggs in turn.

You see, you have twice added to the
original figures $4,000, which is equal
to adding Is to each Of the figures in
the first number, which would equal
29S, 200, the correct answer.
The simplest way to arrive at the re-
suit, however, is to subtract two from
the first number set down and when
done prefix to the remainder. Thus:
9S,3O1
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1903-01-23

Now place the paper over all the fig
ures but the first number and quickly
put down the sum of the columns-29S,
299-which upon verifying will be
found to be correct.
Now l will explain how this is done.
After the figures have been set down
and covered you have the key to the
problem in the first number, which is
left uncovered. In any number of fig
ures-say five, as in the example given
$4,000 would be the largest number
that could be written. Very well. Your
friend set down as his second number
35, 42S, to which you added 64,571. Now

You have put down sum which,
added to his second number, will equal
all and no more than can possibly be
put in the five figures. His third row
was 1892, to which you added 16,3O7.

Interesting Tricks with Numbers
For Little Mathematicians.
Tell some friend to put a number
down on piece of paper. Let it be any
number above hundreds. For instance.
9S,301. Tell him that he may place an
other number under this containing the
same number of figures. Then you
place under that another number. Then
he the next and you the last.
Allow him then to place paper or
something over all the figures but the
top row, SO that you cannot see them.
You can then draw a line below the
paper and almost instantly tell him the
sum of the several numbers, never fail
ing. He may say that you have COM
mitted the figures to memory while
they were being put down. Let him try
it, when he will be convinced that he Is
wrong.
1t is done in this way: He puts down,
say, 9S,301 for his first number and 3d.
428 for his second. Then you put down,
offhand, 64,571. He has one more
chance and puts down, say, 1892, and
you then follow with 16,307. The fig
ures will stand thus:

The Fulton Leader has issued a
campaign book apparently in the
interest of -. C. w. Beckham, can
didate for Governor. with practical
ly no opposition, whose picture
takes up whole page near the
front. On the front page are the
portraits OF VIM. Goebel, ]. c. S.
Blackburn, Jas. b. McCreary and
Chas. X. Wheeler. The last three
named are said to be against Beck
ham and his machine. Gov. Goebel
is dead and cannot speak for him
self, but it is certain that the other
gentleman will repudiate promptly
the slur on Col. Hendrick and Judge
Breckenridge, implied in the state
ment that the votes they receive
are not to be counted as "opposi-
tion." We do not believe the gen
tlemen have permitted the use of
their names and pictures on the
cover of the book to endorse its con-
tents. Mr.. Wheeler contributes an
article to it, but says nothing to in
dictate that be is a party TO the eff
fort to belittle the candidacy of
such leaders as Col. Hendrick and
Judge Breckenridge. 1t is rather
also that no mention is
made 10 the book of several other
anti.machine candidates whose
nominations are almost conceded,
Notably Robt. L. Greene for Clerk of
he Court of Appeals, and N. B.

There will be nc joint discussions
between Beckham and Herdrlck.
Col. Hendrick sent a telegram to
the Governor from Springfield Sat-
urday, which the Governor failed to
answer, saying he was addressed
as BOSS. Col. Hendrick yester.
day produced copy of the original
telegram showing that the charge
was untrue and the word was not
in the telegram at Springfield or
when it passed through Louisville.
AS Beckham will speak at Fulton
in a theatre and would probably
hire hall at other places to avoid
joint discussions, it was decided
that to force himself on a man
anxious to avoid him would do no
good except to draw crowds for the
machine candidate. Hendrick will

reproduction of a beautiful Mchi-
gan Avenue gambling resort in

auce of some these famous
palaces patronized by the
fast and furiuos set of city life.
1t is in this scene that the Gamblers
Daughter, the sweet and tender he
roine disguised as Spanish woman
plays at faro and wins every
dollar of his fortune from her father.
1t is one of the most powerful and
intensely dramatic scenes of the
modern stage. The Company pro
ducing "a Gamblers Daughter
is headed by Miss Lillian Howard,
the well known leading woman, an
actress of great ability and magnet
ism. In the cast will also be found
such popular players as Camilla

SKIN-T0RTURED BABIES And Tired, Fretted Mothers Find Comfort in Cuticura Soap
 and Ointment
When All Other Remedies and
 Physicians Fail.

Instant relief and refreshing sleep for skin-tortured babies and rest for tired, worried mothers in warm baths with Cuticura Soap, and gentle anoipt- ings with Cuticura Ointment, purest of emollient skin cures, to be followed in severe cases by mild doses of Cuticura Resolvcnt Pills. This is the purest, sweetest. most speedy, permanent and economical treatment for torturing, disfiguring, itching, burning, bleeding, scaly, crusted and pimply skin and scaly humours, with loss of hair, of in- fants and children, as well as adults, and is sure to succeed when all other remedies and the best physicians fail.
 The agonizing itching and burning of the skin, as in eczema; the frightful scaling, as in psoriasis the loss of hair and crusting of the scalp, as in scaled head; the facial disfgurement, as in pimples and ringworm; the awful suf- fering of infants, and anxiety of worn- out parents, as in milk crust, letter and salt rheum, all demand remedy of almost superhuman virtues to success fully cope with them. That Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made regarding them that is not justified by the strongest evil dence. The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety aud great economy have made them the standard skin cures and humour remedies of the civilized world.

From the discussion which took place, it was quite apparent that there was wide difference in the minds of those pres ent as to what the difficulties and diff ferenCes were about which the mine operators and miners unions were complaining-and in order that a de- finite understanding might be arrived at, with view of reaching some sat- isafctory solution of the vexatious problems so seriously affecting the welfare of the community. it was thought advisable that committee representing the mine operators, a committee representing the miners unions, and a committee representing the business interests of Prescott should come together for a friendly discussion of all questions involved In accordance with this view. the presi- dent of the Mine Operators associa tion thereupon appointed the committee to represent that association at such meeting, and the citizens present se- lected from amongst their number a
