thing IN the nature of recreation rather
than an occupation designed TO fatigue
one. For the life of me l never could
understand how women make so much
work of It. Really l am moved to sus-
Pect, my dear, that you do not go about
It so systematically and inte1ligentlv as
1t might be done. Please do not think
me in fault-tinding mood, but | would
like sometime to do some shopping for
you, just to show you how men would
perform such superficial duties"
1t IS very kind of you to offer your
services, w she responded, land now that
l think of 1t l failed to get a yard of silk
which my dressmaker informs me l shall
need to finish a gown she Is making for
me. If give YOU a sample of the goods
would 1t be too much trouble for YOU TO
bring yard of 1t home with YOU this
evening and save my going after it,"
Nobnoddy thought that the occasion
offered a splendid opportunity for him to
impress upon his wife's mind how. easy il
would be for her to do her shopping.

Why, my dear, what have you been
doing to make YOU so tired?" wonder
ingly inquired Nobnoddy, who happened
to be spending the noon hour with his
family instead of remaining down town
and patronizing a restaurant as was his
usual custom. Il try TO make life easy

Of fault-fnding in his tone. Il am only
too happy to pay for services of ser

as you are YOU might manage to get
along with your home affairs without
becoming so fatigued as you seem to be.
How does it happen, DEAR"
I've been shopping" she answered
alphabetically, for she detected the thread
Of displeasure running through his re-
marks and was wondering if it was
really her fault or her misfortune that she
usually came home from her shopping
trips almost tired out
"Shopping?" he repeated with a queer
expression about his mouth that came
near to suggesting a sneer. I've always

IL. AINY.DAY DIV r. SION S
Some Arithmetic Puzzles
By CAROLYN WELLS

"Now square each number, and sub
tract one square from the other"
So Fred subtracted one hundred and
fortv-four from one hundred and sixty
nine. and announced that his answer
was twenty-five
Then you chose twelve and thirteen,
remarked Uncle Bob.
That's a neat one" said Fred adj
miringlv. Il like that kind
It's an easy one" said his uncle.
after your friend squares two consec-
utive numbers and tells you the differ
ence between the squares, you have only
to divide the number he tells you by
two. There will always be a remainder
Of one, and the quotient will be one Of
the numbers you seek, and the quOtient
plus one the other. For instance, you
told me your answer was twenty-five.
Two goes into twenty-five twelve times
and one remainder. So twelve was one
of your numbers chosen, and twelve plus
one the other"
Those arithmetica1 ones are clever,
said Lucy; but they dizzy my head.
Do show us one of those tricks that fool
people"
We'll, here's one Of your sort then,
said Uncle Bob. See, l have here a
dime and nickel" He laid them on
the table in front of him, as he sat
opposite the two children, and pushed
back his coat sleeves and cuffs.
." / want YOU to see that l have nothing
concealed in my sleeves" he went on.
This is a fair, genuine trick. You may
watch as closely as you like. Now, you
see, l take the dime in my right hand
and the nickel in my left, and close my
hands tight-so." Uncle Bob laid his
clenched fists on the table before him,
about two feet apart.
Now" he said, 4 purpose to make
those two coins change places, without
opening my hands or allowing my hands
to touch each other. Watch closely.
and when l say Fly!' you Will see the
dime where the nickel now is, and the
nickel in the dimes place, yet my hands
will remain tightly shut"
The children stared with wide-open
eyes. Uncle Bob said: "Flyl" in a stern
voice, and then what do you suppose
that man did? Merely crossed his arms
one over the other, thus bringing his
right hand to the place his left had occu-
pied, and vice versa.
The children could not deny that the
dime was now in the place where the
nickel had been, and the nickel in the
dimes place, and they laughed heartily
at the sell.

NOV, Uncle Bob, said Fred, won't
Y YOU give us some more arithmetlcal
tricls?"
certainly, Fred, you've only to ask
for what YOU want. Get your pencils
and pads
Can we each do it at once5" asked
Lucy.
You can; but it's more confusing.
Suppose YOU try it together. Choose a
number, write it down and tell me II 1t
odd or even"
So Fred wrote nineteen, while Lucy
looked over his shoulder.
Now triple it., SAID Uncle Bob, and
divide it by two; but wait, he said.
you have an odd number, haven't you!
Well, add one to 1t, and then divide 1t
by two"
Fred did as he was told, with the re-
suit twenty-nine, though, of course only
he and Lucy knew this.
"Now multiply by three divide by
nine, and tell me your quOtient-d don't
mind any remainder there may be
The quotient, not counting the re-
maindcr, is nine" said Lucy.
Then your original number was
nineteen"
That's the sort of game 1 like" de-
clared Fred. Show us how to do it,
please, uncle"
Well, try it once more with an even
number"
This time Lucy wrote twenty-six.
"Now triple it, halve it and triple
again. Now how many times will nine
go into your result, not counting a re-
mainder?"
Thirteen times
"Then YOU chose twenty-siX."
1--WE surely did, exclaimed Fred.
Tell us how"
WELL" said Uncle Bob, when you
do this trick, you must always direct
that the chosen number be multiplied
by three. Then, if the chosen number
was even, direct next that it be divided
by two. But if the chosen number was
odd, direct to add one and then divide
by two. After this, in any case, direct
to multiply by three again, and then
to divide by nine. Then ask the answer,
not counting a remainder. Whatever
the answer is, double it mentally, and if
the original number chosen was even,
YOU VIII have it. If odd, add one to
Your mental result and announce it.
Here's another variation of the same
trick. Write down two consecutive num-
bers, like seven and eight, or twenty-four
and twenty-five"
Fred wrote twelve and thirteen.

There was something in the profess

Consequently the brim was the only
part recognizable after the fatality.

For such small creatures mos.

gence. They dash through smoke,

they can neither dash nor creep will

and yet they would follow each other

And the same writer concludes:
The problem presents itself, Why
