Very Easy For Her.

A "woman's reason," with all it's tra- ditional lack of logic, came out in an amusing fashion at a recent dinner party in Brooklyn. .--i
 In the course of the evening the con- versation drifted around to those odd little mathematical bits of the .'How old is Ann?" variety. when one of the company, with explanations that the next problem would not be a very diff ficult one. questioned as follows:
 ''If bottle and a cork together cost $1. 10 and the bottle cost a dollar more than the cork. how much did the cork costY
 Almost instantly one of the ladies was ready with the answer:
 "Why. the cork cost cents and the bottle $1.O5. That's too easy"
 The lady's husband. familiar through years of experience with her woeful lack of skill in figures, looked up in astonishment .--.
 "Heavensr' he exclaimed. "How did you come to get that so soon?'
 "Why, my dear," was the reply, ''corks always cost cents, don't they T'
 ParneII's Superstitions.
 Charles Stewart Parnell Was one of the strongest men that ever lived, but he had numberless superstitions. Once colleague of his brought him the draft of a bill to the cell he was then occupying in Kilnainham. It was in thirteen clauses. Parnell was mortified. He insisted that somehow or other a fourteenth clause should be added. Once Parnell saw q colleague with three lights in his bedroom. k was quite uneasy until he saw one of the lights put out. I travelled with him once when he had a scarf that had been presented to him by lady ad- mirer. There was some green in the scarf. One of his superstitiOns was that green was an unlucky color. He used to say, half joke, whole earnest, that all the misfortunes of Ireland came from the fact that her color was green. He was very much put out by this scarf It was in the days when the habeas corpus was suspended in Ireland and we were sleeping en the mail boat at kingstown and w6e not to start for Holylead till next fmOrn- ing. He was quite sure the green scarf would have us arrested before we left in the mofning.-M. \. F.

The Number Ten.

In arithmetic everything goes by tens. SociOlOgists trace the human lik- ing for that number to the ''pentadigi- tate,' or five fingered limb, which is characteristic feature of the entire vertebrate family. A frog would plump for the decimal system for just the reasons that impel human beings. Even . horse, which now has only one finger and toe on each foot, has hints in his anatomy which show that his ancestors had the pentadigitate ar engagement. Biologists are much inter- ested to consider how the number evolved was five. Why not four fin gers or six or more? Somehow, more than five would appear to be rather more than one brain could give inde- pendent attention to, while. five are more useful than four.
