A curious instrument was discovered
one day last week in the office of the
register of deeds in connection with
land transfer. 1t was a will recorded
some time ago in which man made a
division of his property among his
children. He had four children and to
each, according the terms of the will, he
left two-sevenths of his property, max
ing in all eight-sevenths. If the prop
erty has ever been divided it certainly
must have taken an expert mathmetic-
ian to have made the division.

personal puzzle, and here is the way it
is done: Put down the year in which
you were born, to which add 4, then
add the age which your next birthday
will make you, providing it comes be-
fore Jan. /, otherwise your age at your
last birthday. Then multiply the re-
suit by 1000 and deduct from this 694,-
423; substitute for the figures cor
responding letters of the alphabet, A
for :, B for 2, 9 for and so forth.
This result will give the name by which
you are popularity known. Try it and
