Origin of Mathematical Signs.

The sign Of addition Is derived from
the initial letter of the word plus"
In making the capital letter 1t was
made more and more carelessly until
the top part Of the ''p" was finally
placed near the center; hence the plus
sign, as we know 1t, was gradually
reached.
The sign Of subtraction was derived
from the word minus" The word was
first contracted In III. n. s. with 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 shorter form Of ad-
dition.
Division was formerly indicated by
placing the dividend above horizontal
line and the diyisor below. In order to
save space in printing the dividend was
placed TO the left and the divisor to the
right. After years Of evolution" the
two IDS" 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 1867 by a sharp mathema-
tician. who substituted 1t to avoid fire.

Goan In Shaving.

In spite Of the fact that those who
use the razor frequently cut them
selves. yet it is rarely that anything
more serious than a cut follows, the
slight wound generally healing quick
", and the risk of septic8mia arising
in this way would seem TO be almost
nil. In the majority of cases. there
fore, it Is clear that the razor blade
must be bacteriolOgically clean-i. G.,
free from the septic matter-whlch
may be attributed to the fact that
probably II Is dipped into hot sterllized
water before use or else that the soap
lather is ant1sepic. The latter expla-
nation seems the more probable or the

the skin Is considerable if the shaving
is to be in any de gree comfortable ana
soap has considerable antis eptic power

can be little doubt. therefore, that the
skin is rendered sterile by the liberal
application of soap. aud this fact is III

A PleaAnnf Old LEGEND.

Many years ago. sailing from Con

the north coast OF Sicily. The irrecon

Presently he dionned his coats, ana,
with the kitten in his big pocket, be
made his way to the street. Arrived
once more on the ground, Tommy re-
membered the diuner, and even as the
onlookers pressed. forward to congrat-
ulate him he broke away and sped
down the street o the hall.
When he reached the hall, the dinner
was we'll under way. A glance at his
dirty hands and the iron rust on his
clothes made his heart sink within
him. but with the help OF some of the
walters he made himself fairly present
able. Still carrying the kitten beneath
his coat, he made his way to his seat
just as the toastmaster arose for the
first toast, the one 10 which Tommy
was to respond.
When the toastmastpr had finished
speaking, Tommy sat like craven i'm
age until the man in the next seat
gave him a rather pronounced kick un-
der the table. Then he got uDsteadily
to his feet.
"It is with some hesitation l rise TO

1t had become a byword in the col

his junior year. There had been one
little love affair after another, none of
them very serious so far as Gregson

tears on the part of the young women
to leave memories like those of deli
cately crushed rose leaves.
