fact we introduced free stamps four

NUMBERS IN EARLY DAYS.
Forerunners of the Existing System
of Enumeration Resorted to
Queer Expedients.

In paper read before the Pathological
society OF the University Of Michigan
recently Prof. George Hempl comment
ed upon the forerunners of our present
system OF enumeration. Some two years
ago. in seeking the origin of the Runic
letters (the first letters used by the Ger
manic races, Prof. Hempl discovered
the primitive Germanic numeral nota-
tons. This threw new light upon the
early Germanic numeral system. as well
as upon the primitive European
numerical system and upon the develop
ment OF the Greek alphabet and the
Greek numerical notation.
The primitive Indo-European numer-
ical system was a mixture OF the deci-
NAL and the sexagesimal The first
large number was the shock Is.
60--and the next large number was the
"hund," or hundred" that is 100. Be
tween go and 100 there were no num-
bers like our 10. etc, 10 being "a shock
and TO-" and 80 being "a shock and 20. "
The introduction of our present num-
bers between so and 120 arose out OF the
introduction OF the decimal hund or hum
dred, that lis, 100, in distinction from
which the old hundred (12O) was called
the duodecimal hundred, or the great
hundred, which is still used In Iceland
and parts OF England.

MEN WHO BURN MONEY.
Few Smokers Indulge in Cigars Cost

There are not many men who smoke
cigars at two dollars each" said the
cigar man in a downtown restaurant
much patronized by customers who do
not have to worry about the cost Of their
luncheon; but we have to keep them
In stock. When they are called for. 1t
Is usually by a couple of old chums who
are lunching together after long part
ing, who are feeling good, and who want
a heavy smoke after liberal meal. As
a matter Of fact. most men think they are
burning money when they pay one dol
lar for a cigar Sixty cents for one
cigar, and from that down to three for
so cents, Is considered about the right
thing. We sell good many cigars at
IS cents each, or three for one dollar,
In fact, they are the standard thing in
high priced cigars. Occasionally Gus,
toner will buy box of two dollar cigars,
or even more expensive than that, for a
birthday present, or to send to some
friend going to Europe. These cigars
are made only by skilled workmen. and
represent the highest perfection In
