HUMBLE ORIGIN OF FIGURES
Roman Numerals Were the First and
They Did Not Exceed Five,
It Is Thought.

"PrObably no man was ever more
devoted to or more wrapped up in
figures than the late Gen. AlonzO
B. Jackman, who devised the only
satisfactory method of squaring
the circle" said Prof. Elijah Howe.
"And yet Gen. Jackman admitted
that the science of figures cuts but
Il very poor figure in its origin, the
term calculation being derived
from the calculus or pebbles used
by the Romans as counters whose
numerals, stolen from the ancient
E~truscans, seems to have been
suggested in the first instance by
the five fingers. Indeed, the term
digit or finger, applied to any sin
gle number sufficiently indicates
the primitive mode of counting.
"The Roman V is only a rude
outline of the five fingers, or of the
outspread hand narrowing to the
wrist, while the Y is a symhOl of
the two fves or the two hands
crossed.
SIN all probability the earliest
numerals did not exceed five,
which was repeated with additions
for the higher numbers. 1t is a re.
markable coincidence that to ex.
press six, seven, eight, the North
American abOrigines repeated the
five with the addition of one, two
three, on the same plan as tho
Roman VI, VII, VIII.

RoYALTYs WORKING HOURS
Bavaria's Reigning House Has Among
Its Members a Physician
and an oculist.

There are two royal perSOnages.
born of the reigning house of Ba-
varia, who are practicing physi
clans, says a writer in the Era.
One of them is Prince Franz Fer
dinand, who takes but small pleas
ure in the dinners and balls with
which the society of his home
amuses itself. His work-day
leaves him not only with a health
full physical WEAKNESS, but with
ideas to think out and analyze-
for the hospital he maintains
treats more than 1000 patients
yearly, and can use all the brain
output of his staff.
Almost half the patients treat
ed by Prince Franz Ferdinand are
victims of consumption, and he
has just completed experiments
with a consumption cure from
which very valuable results are
hoped.
His relative, Duke Carl TheO-
dore of Bavaria, enjoys the dis
tinction of being the only royal Oc-
ulist in the world.
Princess Waldemar of Den
mark is greatly interested in the
fremen of Copenhagen. When
ever there is a big fire the princess
is to be seen wading with her
heavy boots through streams of
water to where the fire is fercest,
and it is hardly necessary to say
that her presence encourages the
fremen to display still greater
courage.
In "time of peace" the princess
often visits the fire stations, con
verses with the officers and watch
es the men at their athletic exer
cises.

cusA's MANY IMMIGRANTS.
Americans and Foreigners from
EUROPE Flock to the Island
Facts and Figures.

immigration into Cuba is still
small, but it is increasing. 1t
amounted to 5000 in 1903. Ithas
been o 1000 in 1904. FOur-ffths of
il is from Spain. OF the 10000 im-
migrants Of 1904, 10000 are Span
iards, 1000 are Americans, 1913 are
English, pa are Italians, and
smaller numbers are Germans,
French, Mexicans and others, says
the st. Louis GlObe-D Democrat.
While the inflow from Spain is a
little larger than was expected,
that from the United States is
somewhat smaller.
Annexation would have changed
all this. Had Cuba been held by
Che United States at the end of the
Spanish war on the same tenure as
Porto Rico or the Philippines, its
condition would have been better
10y this time than It is now, and the
complexion of its immigration
would have been altered.
Alarge inflow from Spain would
have been likely, even if Cuba had
been retained by the United
States, but in the latter case the
immigration from this country
you'd have been many times
heavier than it is now. Under
American auspices, too, the immi-
grafton from England, Germany
France, and the rest of Europe, ex-
@pt Spain, would be larger than
the present figures.
Most of the capital, however.
which is flowing into Cuba is from,
the United States. We will prob
ably have an even greater FREEDOM
nance there, on the score of mon
ey investments than we have il
Mexico.

Received Name.

Many a person has looked at a
ship lying in low water and won.
dered what was meant by = circu.
lar mark with a straight line run
ming through it which is to be seen
on the side Of the vessel. This is
known as the "PlimsOll mark"
Samuel PlimsOll, the friend of
sea-faring men, devoted the best
years of his life to furthering the
interests of sailors. He noticed
that overloaded and unseawOrthy
vessels were often sent on voy-
ages, with great danger to human
life. He tried to induce the Brit
ish parliament to alter matters,
but, failing to do so, he himself en-
tered the house Of commons in
1868 and succeeded in getting the
merchant shipping act passed. By
this act the board Of trade was EN-
powered to detain any vessel
deemed unsafe. Finally owners
were ordered to have a load water
mark painted upon their vessels
sides.

BACHELORS AVERAGE ACE
Facts and Figures Show That Matri-
moDy Actually Prolongs
the Life Of Men.

DO bachelors die young? DO
they die earlier than married
men? asks the New Orleans
Times-D Democrat. A report shows
that the mortality among bache-
Tors, from the age of 30 to As years.
is said to be u per cent, while
among married men of the same
age it is IS per cent. For Al bach,
elors who attain the age of 40
years, there are rs married men
who attain the same age. The diff
ference is still more striking in
persons of advanced age. AT 60
years of age there remain but %
bachelors for As married men; at
40 years, II bachelors for y mar
ried men; and at so years three
bachelors for nine married men
These figures seem to indicate that
the best thing for a man to do is
TO get him a wife and shake wear
ing cares of bachelorhood. We al
want TO live as long as possible
and live happily if we can. Some
bachelors are reasonably happy
But all OF them are not. Get mar
ried. That's the proper caper.

Where Doctors Bills Are Unknown.

Where Doctors Bills Are Unknown.
Swedish doctors never send bills
to their patients. Each patient
pays what he deems just or is able
to give. The rich pay the physi-
clan literally whether they have
need of his services or not, IL he
has been retained by them. The
poor, if they possibly can, pay him
a small sum, and the very poor
pay him nothing. Yet he attends
the poor as faithfully as he does
the rich.
