ORIGIN OF THE PINEAPPLE.
Evidence From Old Writers That 1t is

Native of South America.
There is little ground for any other
belief than that the pineapple is a ma

The edition of his work published in
1886 contains the first illustration Of
a pineapple ever shown by a Euro

yet one can distinguish the plant with

MADE THEM ALL LAUGH.
Book Must Have Been Funny, but No
One Knew What Is Was.

1t must have been a very funny
story! The type looked funny from
across the aisle of the car, the pic
lures looked funny, and the young
lady who was reading it doubled up
in fits of stif1ed laughter every few
minutes. The young man in the seat
with her could not help stealing a
glance at the pages of the book which
was evidently so funny, but whose
cover was carefully doubled back out
of sight, and soon he began to laugh
as he unblushingly followed the story
page after page, shaking with sup
pressed merriment.
The woman in the seat at right an
giles became interested and looked
over the girls shoulder. Presently
her face b%roadened into a grin and
soon she was convulsively shaking.
The man in the seat across smiled at

the aisle grinned sympathetically. A
darby still further down showed all
his white teeth. The contagion spread

OF Mysteries, when the fair reader got

the girl herself had any idea as to
what the book was.

FACTS ABOUT FIGURE NINE.
Professor of the Occult Has Added a
New Wrinkle.

Mathematician have juggled with
the mystic figures 8, Z and 9 for ages
and now comes a foreign professor"
of the occult science to tell fortune
by the force in a simple numeral'-
the 8. He reminds his victims that if
they multiply any number, short of a
decimal, by 8 the two figures of the
product added together will make 8.
Thus: Nine times 2 are IS, and s and
l are 8; 9 times 3 are ~, and 7 and 2
are 8; 8 times 5 are as, and 5 and 4
are 9; 9 times 6 are 81, and 4 and 5
are 8; 9 times Z are GO, and 8 and 6
are 8; 8 times 8 are ", and 2 and Z
are 8; 9 time 9 are 81, and 1 and s are
8. He might have added that any
number in the hundreds of thousands
multiplied by 9 will give a product
the sum of whose digits is a multiple
of 8. Take at random-9 times 545
are 1905, the sum of which is IS, and
8 into IS goes 2 times. Take 1852
multiplied by 8 equals sc, 168; the sum
of the digits is 27; 9 into 27 goes
3 times. oh, there is an immense
amount of fun in 8.
