.oST POPULAR NUMBERS.
Seven and Thirteen Are Fixed Upon
 in the Minds of the Greater Number of Men.

"Ask a man to pick out some num- Der between one and ten, and you car tell him nine times out of ten what number he has selected, though his se- lection is made mentally" said man who, according to the New Orleans Times-Democrat, is fond of the old things, "and when you come to think of it, the task of naming the correct number is not a difficult one. In the course of an hour the other day asked ten men to think of certain number-any number between one and ten-and l would tell them what num- Der they had fixed their mind on. In nine cases out of ten 1 was correct, missing it only once The minds of nine of the persons selected the num- Der seven, and one of them selected nine. It is not difficult to understand why the mind should run to the num- Der seven. Even in the case of the man who fixed his mind on the num- Der nine, he told me when it was all over that his mind had first run to seven, but he quickly changed to nine without knowing just why it was that he changed. Seven is the most prom inent figure between one and ten. It is the most popular number in the line, and is associated with more things than any other number, and it is quite reasonable that the mind should light on seven. I made another test the other day with five persons, asking each of them to write some number between one and ten, and give it to sixth per- son. When the slips had been handed to the sixth man I said: Seven is the number on each of the slips
 "'Correct," said the man to whom they had been handed, and the five men were bit bewildered for the moment by the fact that they had all hit upon the same number, and that was able to tell what the number was
 It would be quite as easy to name a number between 10 and 20, though l 1 have made no tests along this line. I dare say that 13 would be the first number to flash in the mind, simply ! because it is the most talked of, and the only number between 10 and 20 that has the widest association. So you can tell there is no trick about it., and it doesn't require any knowledge of the occult philosophies."

Philippine Supreme Court.

Four Americans and three F'ilipinos make up the supreme court of the Phil ippines. The chief justice, c. Arellano, is 57 years old, native of the province of Bataan. He was educated at the Royal college of San Juan de Latran, and at the University of St. Thomas, of Manila. Under the Spanish regime he held judgeship. For two years he was justice of the territorial supreme court at Manila, and then became pro- lessor of civil law at St. Thomas, po- sition he held for 16 years. Associate Justice Florentino Torres is 60, St. Thomas graduate, and specialist in criminal law. Two of his sons are now in the United States studying at Wash ington. Justice Victorino Mapa, a na- tive of the province of Capiz, who was born in 1854, is, like his two native as- sociates, a graduate of St. Thomas, and a Manila lawye-.-San Francisco Argonaut.
