An Early Mineral System.

In a paper read before the Philologi'
cal Society of the University OF Michl'
gar, recently, Professor George Hemp
commented. 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 Germanic races,
Professor Hempl discovered the print
tive Germanic mineral notations.
This threw new light upon the early
Germanic numerical system. as well as
upon the primitive Indo-Buropean nu-
merical system, and upon the devel-
opment of the Greek alphabet, and the
Greek numerical notation.
The primitive European numer-
ical system was a mixture Of the deci-
NAL and the seXagesimal. The first
large number was the 'hund," or "hun-
dred," that is 120. Between sixty and
100 there were no numbers like our
seventy, etc, seventy being "a shock
and ten and eighty being "a shock
and twenty" The introduction of our
present numbers between sixty and
100 arose out Of the Introduction of the
decimal hund or hundred. that is, 100,
in distinction from which the old 100
l2O) was called the duodecimal hun
dred, or the great hundred which is
still used in Iceland and parts of Eng
land.-New York Tribune.

The Modern Sleeves.

And now some feminine genius has
seen the possibilities Of present day
sleeves. She has produced an innova-
ton which will appeal to every woman
with ideas. This is nothing less than
an adjustable sleeve. The bodice is
made sleeveless, finished on the shout

the gown stuff. but must blend in color.
Any light, flimsy fabric is accounted
dressy, and some bodices have two or
three sets of different style sleeves
made to wear With them. AS every
body knows the sleeves make the dress,
