Mu1tiples of This Figure Recur Signif.
cant1y in New Testament.
The phenomena of the figure and
its multiples, occurring in the New
Testament have been touched upon
by Ivan Panin, a Russian student of
the Bible, who for number of years
has made his home at Grafton, Mass.
This significance of the seven" group
will not be lost even upon the super
stitious who are outside the pale of
scriptural points, and, as Mr.. Panin
has shown them, their relations of
their groupings to the first eleven
verses of the New Testament must
suggest that they We're scarcely
chance.
For instance, in these first eleven
verses of Matthew, the vocabulary con-
sists of forty-nine words, or seven sew
ems; of these words there are twenty
eight, or four sevens, which begin with
vowels. and twenty-one, or three sew
ems, which begin with consonants.
This distribution by sevens be-
tween vowel words and consonant
words justly might have been deemed
accidental but for the fact that of the
forty-nine words forty-two of them are
nouns-siX seVens-and seven are not
nouns" is the comment of the writer.
'Of the forty-two nouns there are
thirty live proper nouns, or five sevens,
while seven are common nouns. OF
the thirty-five proper names four sew
ems are male ancestors of Jesus and
seven are not such. Not only then is
the distribution of the forty-nine
words of the vocabulary by sevens as
between vowel words and consonant
words, but also as between the parts
of speech"
AS a further and absolute proof that
these phenomena of the sevens are not
accidental Mr.. Panin points out that
the forty-nine words of the vocabulary
show fourteen words that are not used
but once, while thirty-five of them, or
five sevens, are used more than once.
His conclusions after an exhaustive ar
rangement of the "seven" features are
that mot even the choice of the Ian
guages in which the scriptures were
written was made without marked nu-
merical design at the threshold of the
subject"

UNUSUAL VOCATIONS.

The mystery of how the other half
lives" means, in part, the question how
1t gets its living. The most out-of-the-
way occupations are found in the larg-
est cities. Placards and signboards,
which are quoted in the New York
Mail and Express, show some of the
queer industries and trades carried on
in New York.
In East 34th street a sign in the
window of a house informs the public
that Birds are boarded here by the
day, week or month" A little farther
downtown a sign in a basement win
dow announces, Dogs ears and tails
cut in the latest fashion" A sign in
the same locality reads, 81 educate
cross cats and dogs to be gentle and
well-behaved."
Young ladies are invited to come in
and learn the name and calling of their
future husbands" on West 23d street,
near Sth avenue. "Round-shouldered
people made straight" is announced
on East 10th street; and near 10th
street on 4th avenue Perfect grace is
taught in II lessons and "satisfac-
ton guaranteed" On the Bowery,
near Houston street, Ladies deficient
In wardrobe are fashionably dressed
on easy monthly instalments."
'"Sore eyes in poodles effectually
cured here" is a message displayed
on East Broadway. In Catherine
street, Babies are hired or exchanged
for the use of professional beggars,
of course. In Hester street BLACK
eyes are artfully painted over" and
False noses as good as new and war
ranted to fit" are advertised near
Chatham Square, conveying the i'm
preston that assault is not an uncom-
mon crime in some quarters.
On Chatham street the wayfarer is
told, Dine here, and you will never
dine anywhere else,"-a somewhat
ambiguous statement,-and on Null
berry street an undertaken makes a
bid for business with a sign in his
window which reads, "Why walk about
in misery when 1 can bury you de-
Gently for $1S?'

Severely LOGICAL.

A story illustrative of the severe
logic of some juvenile minds is rela ted
by a reader of the Sun, who got it
from a friend, a woman of family, one
member of the latter being a 4-year-
old daughter. One day this observant
miss saw a lame man on the street,
and asked her mother what made him
walk so queer. The mother told her
it was because one leg was shorter
than the other.
WELL" she said, there Is a girl
around the corner who is that way"
After a few minutes meditation she
remarked:
Mamma, wasn't it funny that God
didn't give the two long legs to the
man and give the two short ones to the
girl?"-Baltimore Sun.

insect Foes of Mankind.

When 1t comes to actual facts and
figures Of the financial losses caused
by insect pests the published papers
and reports of expert investigators
connected with our agricultural depart
ment at Washington and our agricul-
tural stations elsewhere furnish the
chief and largest resource. The figures
given here are truly staggering in their
immensely Thus we have 1t on the
authority of DR.. Howard that the ac-
tual money loss occasioned by insect
pests in this country every year is not
less than $35,OOO,OOO. According to DR..
Howard the grasshopper pest which
visited large areas of the West in 1874
70 destroyed farm crops to the value
Of s10O,000,000 In single season.

Rent Radium by the Hour.

When one reads Of the considerable
use that is being made incidentally OF
radium it seems hardly credible that
so much can have been made of 50
little. The amount procurable in Lon
don to-day is considerably less than a
grain. Consequently. as only a limited
number of medical men can have an
opportunity of utilizing this weird
chemical, it is suggested that chem
lists should follow the example of one
of ii cir number, who has obtained q
small tube containing five milli-
grammes of radium bromide. and hires
it out OF $3.50 an hour. This is surely
the strangest development of modern
pharmacy.

Big Task to Sweep Floor.

1t Is enough to blister ones hands
just to contemplate the job that con-
fronted the men who swept the floor
of the mammoth palace of agriculture
at the st. Louis worlds fair. When
the contractors finished their work all
that remained to be done was to
sweep the floor. 1t never dawned on
anyone how great the task was Cald-
well & Drake, the contra ctors, ordered
a dozen brooms and set twelve men to
work. When night came their inroads
on the twenty-three acres of floor
space were scarcely noticeable. They
increased the force next day to forty
men and ordered 100 brooms. These
forty men worked ten days before the
big floor was thoroughly swept.

chILD's ODD DEPRIVATION.
Boy OF Fourteen Years Old Who Had
Never Seen Other Children.

boy OF Fourtccu 1eara O1d who Had
Never Seen Other Children.
did you ever hear of a child or ever
know Of one yourself that had never
seen a child?" asked a man who takes
an interest in the oddities. "Well,
i have, and the case is not thousand
miles from New Orleans, either. The
child In this instance had rounded into
its fifteenth year before it had ever
laid eyes on another child. 1t had
never heard the musical prattle of
companions other than the father and
mother. The parents settled across the
lake few years ago, after a long
residence on a small island of the sea.
Where the child was born and
where 1t spent fourteen years of its
life there were no children. The little
fellow knew no associate but lle faith
since learning of this case what
must have been the impression of the
youngster when he gazed for the first
time on a member of the human fam
lily smaller than he was. Did he think
he had come upon a race of dwarfs?
Or had his parents given him some
idea Of the existence Of children? l
do not know the family, and, therefore,
cannot answer these questions.
But l would like to know Just how
the little fellow felt when he first be-
held a child. 1t is the only case Of the
kind which has come to my knowledge.
He had never had an opportunity to
play the little games which most of us
knew in the days of our childhood
He had never gone through any Of the
things which made young life sweet to
all Of us fellows, and, while not know
ing but what there may be compensat-
ing advantages in a life Of this sort, l
have always felt a bit sorry for the
youngster in question.
Come to think of 1t, he missed
few things one would like to forget,
for suppose most of us have felt the
rap Of the maternal slipper because Of
disobedience due directly to ones com
panions. At any rate, we have always
cherished the idea that our companions
were in measure responsible for
many Of the raps we got The child
who never knew a child could not be
led astray In this way. So we do not
know but that the lack Of companion
ship may have something to commend
tt."-New Orleans correspondence Chi

PORTO RICAN'S APPEAL.
Asks That He Be Registered at Navy
Yard for EMPLOYMENT.

The Supreme Court of the District of Co
lumbia has been petitioned by Juan Rodri-
gueZ, who asserts that he Is citizen Of
Porto Rico, for writ of mandamus to
compel Commander John M. Bowyer, Lieut.
Commander E. A. Anderson and Lieut..
Walter M. Falconer, United States navy,
constituting the board of labor employ
ment at the navy yard, this city, to register
him for employment at the navy yard.
1t is alleged by the petitioner that. being
DESTROYS of obtaining employment as a lab
orer he sent a communication to the board
of labor employment February 16 last,
which was in effect an application for ad-
mission to examination and for registra-
ton with the board under the rules of the
navy yard. The rules provide that no per-
son shall begin employment as a laborer
until he has been registered.
Continuing, the petition informs the court
that the 26th of February he was officially
notified by the board that he could not be
registered for employment because he was
not a citizen of the United States 1t is
insisted by the petitioner that the ruling IN
question deprived him of his Just rights
under the United States laws by denying
his citizenship. He adds that If the posi-
ton of the board is maintained it will de-
prive him of 1.-The most precious and sacred
prerogatives guaranteed him by the law
Attorneys Federico Degetau and Jean F. p
des Garennes appear for the petitioner.

THE PAY OF JURORS.
District Auditor Wants Ruling. From
Controller on the Subject.

The District auditor has requested the
Commissioners to obtain from the control
Ter of the treasury opinion as to whether
the fee of jurors attending inquests held
by the coroner remains at the rate of 50
per day, as fixed by section Ills of the
code, or whether they are entitled to a fee
of So per day, under the provisions of the
act of June 81, 1902. The latter act fixes
the pay of all jurors, grand or petit, Sin
any court of the United States" at the in
creased rate. Under the provisions of this
act jurors in the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia and in the Police
Court are paid So a day. Section 1876 of
the District of Columbia code provides that
fees to jurors and witnesses at coroner's
inquests shall be the same as allowed in
the Supreme Court Of the District. The
question has consequently arisen as TO
whether the coroner's jurors shall continue
to be paid 50 a day as at present or whether
they are entitled to the increased allow
ance.
The Commissioners have agreed to ask
the controller for the decision desired
