eran in the Latin idiom. 'Well, let them
drink, then" And he pitched them headlong
into the sea.
Earlier than that even, $40 B. c., Timoleon
the Corinthian was leading his troops against
the Carthaginian invaders of Sicily. Just as
his little army gained the summit of hill from
which the soldiers expecting to get their
first view of the enemy, train of mules laden
with parsley crossed the road. The confident
little band was thrown at once into disorder,
for the parsley plant was habitually used to
decorate tombs. Timoleon, however, was equal
to the occasion, and crying out to his men that
the plant was also the reward for victory at the
Isthmian games, he seized the parsley and
made wreath for himself. Both officers and
soldiers followed his example, and the army
swept over the hill like host

STRANGE it is to find that some of the his
y toric characters of old laughed at and
scorned all manner of omens, at a time
when there was apparently some excuse for &C
cepting them. When William the Conqueror
stepped off his Norman ship upon the shore of
England, he slipped and fell sprawling on his
face
His mobiles recoiled in dread, for it was
an evil omen: but William, nothing daunted
stretched forth his hands while still lying prone
on the ground and grasped two handfuls of the
English sand, shouting, Thus do 1 proclaim
myself lord of England"
There was the Roman Admiral Publius
Claudius, who set forth in the third century
before Christ to defeat the Carthaginian navy.

=, think | see: It's little
complicated; but it's nice one
If you study it over little Bit" said
Uncle Bob,l it won't seem so complicated,
and it really is a remarkable coincidence
Just as Uncle Bob had finished the explain
alton OF these arithmetical tricks the door bell
was heard. and three or four of the childrens
young friends arrived to spend the afternoon
So, taking a plain gold ring from his finger,
Uncle Bob announced that he would show
them of the arithmetical tricks.
He then directed that Lucy and Fred and
all their guests should sit in a straight row,
and should be numbered I, 2, g. etc. the length
of the line. He then said that in considering
their hands, on anyone of which the ring
might be placed, they must count the thumb
number I, the forefnger number ?, the third
finger number 3, ETC.; also the right hand was
to be called number I, and the left hand num-
Der 2. The joints of the fingers must also
be numbered; the joint nearest the extremity
being numbered I, the next 2, etc.
Uncle Bob then directed that the ring
should be put on any joint of any finger and
hand of any person in the row they chose, and
should remain there, all the persons keeping
their hands carefully hidden.
Now" said Uncle Bob this mental
arithmetic may be little difficult; but if you
do it slowly and carefully, you will have no
trouble. You all know, do you not, the
number of the person who has the ringe"
To this all the children said. Yes" and
they also asserted that they knew the numbers
of the hand, finger. and joint.
Very well, said Uncle Bob. Now each
OF you in your mind. take the number of the
person who has the ring"
AS the ring the hand of the fourth
person. each of the children thought of four
Double it, said Uncle Bob, and all of
the young arithmetical minds thought s.
Add s. was the next direction, and of
course the result was -.
Multiply by s." came next, and they
arrived at IS without much trouble.
Add TO-" said Uncle Bob, and * was the
result.
Now add the number denoting the hand"
AS it was the left hand, they all added two,
making II.
Multiply by TO-" gave ITO.
Adding the number of the finger, which was
I, made III, and then again came the order,
Multiply by 49,.
This made 7,71o, and when told to add
the number of the joint which was the second.
Now" said Uncle Bob, "this is the last.
To what you now have add IS and tell me
your answer"
With sigh of relief, the children cried in
concert. ".7,747."
Then" said Uncle Bob, "your ring is on
of the child who sits number four in the line"
This proved to be exactly right, and though
Uncle Bob would not explain it to the COM
pany, he afterward told Lucy and Fred the
secret, which simply this:
In all cases deduct 3,535 from the answer
given you, and the four figures remaining will
represent in order, first the person, then the
hand, then the finger, and then the joint.
You told me, he said, that your arith-
metical result was 7,747. And so, subtracting
1885, I had left 4,aIa, which meant the

mathematical puzzle.
Put down the numbers" he said, in their
right order, I, 2, 3, ETC., right along as far as
you choose, up to s. Stop anywhere you like
before 8; but don't go past it..
so Lucy wrote, I, 2, 8, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. And
Now" said Uncle Bob, II also shall write
the same way. l don't mind telling you
where stop. l shall write I, 2, 3, a, S, 6, 7.
Now we shall each multiply our line of figures
would have come next if we had made our
first line longer. That is, if you stopped at a,
your number to add would be s; if you stop
ped at 8. add 9. Now set to work. and we shall
see who'll finish first
In about three seconds. Uncle Bob said,
." l have my answer. Have you yours"
Lucy and Fred looked up in amazement
for they had scarcely begun to multiply. But
after time they announced that they had
finished, and without looking at their figures,
Uncle Bob said. as if in surprise, why, we
all have the same answers"
g But you haven't seen ours!" cried Lucy
That IS true and yet | am sure we all have
the same answers: My answer is just string
of IS, and it reads II,III,I1I."
Why, mine is all rs too" said Lucy; but
1 have Is in mine. 1t is 111.111,1I1."
Mine is all Is too" said Fred; 81 have
III.III. What a curious coincidence! Please
explain it, uncle"
THE explanation is" said Uncle Bob,
any number of them from I to 8, and
if you multiply that line of figures by 9,
and then add to it the number which rightly
followed the last figure you wrote in your
first line, the result will always be as many
rs as are represented by the figure you
added
Another variation, rather a similar
kind of computation, is this" said Uncle
Bob: Each of you write figures as before,
from straight ahead up to Q, and including
it if you wish to- this time, or stop sooner, just
as you like"
This time Lucy wrote the figures all the
way from to 9. while Fred wrote only I, 2, 3.
Now said Uncle Bob, multiply by s,
and then add the last figure of your row
above"
The children did this as rapidly as they
could, although they felt sure that Uncle Bob
had some short cut to the answer. And, sure
enough when they were finished, he asked
Lucy the first figure in her answer.
Nine" she replied
Then" said Uncle Bob, "your whole
answer is o87,654, gar"
"Why. so it is!' said Lucy, as she verified
her uncle's statement
. How many figures in your answer, Fred?"
was Uncle Bob's next question.
Three" replied the boy.
Then your answer is o87.'
YES, it is" said Fred.
"You see,' said Uncle Bob, explaining at
once, if you take straight ahead row of
figures stopping at 9. or any number before
g.. and if you multiply them by and add
whatever figure you have at the right hand
end of your first line, your answer will inevita-
bly, be the digits in reverse order; beginning
with 9 and going backward as many figures as
you have figures in your first row. That is.
and add 4, your answer will be 1916. But if

FORECAST OF THE NEWS
 FOR THE COMING WEEK

The present week probably will see the end of the famous trial of Harry K. Thaw for the murder of Stanford White. Twelve weeks have elapsed since the case was first called, but during that time there have been several interruptions. With the report of the lunacy commis- sion, however, and the decision of Dis trict Attorney Jerome not to carry his protest against the confirmation of the report to the appellate division of the supreme court, it now seems as if the trial has clear road to a definite con- clusion.
 One of the important events of the week will be the dedication ot the Car negie institute in Plttsburg. The exer- cises will occupy three days and will be participated in by representative states men, educators and scientists of America and many foreign countries.
 Baron D' Estournelles De Constant founder of the Association for Interna- tional Cancellation, who came to America to attend the national peace conference, soon to be held in=New York, will visit President Roosevelt at Washington Mon day. The baron's visit is in response to a special invitation. He will spend Mon day night at the White House. On Tues day he will be the guest of the Brazilian ambassador at a dinner given in his honor.

who feels himself to possess even the feeblest spark of spiritual life, Jesus is ready to take you by the hand and use His divine power to fan that spark into a living flame. We lose patience. We say that such and such a man deserves noth- ing further at our hands; we have done enough. My friend, suppose the time should ever come in the history of any of us when our God should say that He had done enough. Do you realize what 1t would mean to us. The best of us, how we have slnned and are shining against Him day after day. Suppose He should lose patience He does not He is the Father of that gracious Son of whom it Is said that He will not break even a bruised reed.
 What encouragement there is in these words for those who suffer. Sometimes 1t seems to us that the burdens of life are too heavy for our feeble shoulders Sure ly He who would not break a bruised reed Is not going to overload human heart with any sorrow that 1t cannot carry.
 As we gather at this altar today, let us pray that this tenderness of Jesus to the world may be partaken of by us, so that we may have compassion one upon an- other. Suppose for a single day every Christian man and woman in this city should forget themselves in genuine love for others. What a day 1t would bel
 Instead of looking for the evil, mag nifying the evil, condemning the evil, let us look for the spark of goodness, and try to fan that into life. The bruised reed needs all the more tenderness be- cause it is bruised. It is not John with his notions of purging with raging flame, but Jesus with His infinite tenderness, that must at last save the world.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-04-08

with the real desire to obtain informa- ton, but only to entrap Him, He has some marvellous story of love to tell the ques- tioner. Where will we find in any teach ing story so full of pointed teaching, and at the same time so full of kindness and truth spoken with love to compare with the parable of the good Samaritan. How beautiful Is the picture. The poor man bleeding by the roadside. The Levite and priest who pass him by. The Samari- tan stranger to whom sorrow appeals be- cause of It's very helplessness, getting down from his own beast of burden and lifting the wounded man tenderly up into his own place, carrying the precious bur den to the nearest inn, applying such rom edles to the wounds as he had at hand, and charging the innkeeper to take the best of care of the man, and that he would pay the reckoning.
 The close, "Go thou and do likewise" And this lovely story Is all the more beau tiful, because we recognize in the good Samaritan little touch of autobiography Jesus is the good Samaritan, not going to one wounded man, but to everyone who needs Him, and offering to bind up the wounds and carry them in safety to the Fathers house; cancelling their sins, He Himself having paid the reckoning. "The bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking fax shall He not quench."
 Words Directed to Heart.
 In all Ills teaching Jesus addressed the heart. His words were heavy with the weight of love they held. His whole heart was In all that he said, and so to the heart of humanity his teaching was directed. When the self-righteous Pharisees brought what they considered a terrible accusation against him, saying: This man receiveth sinners" they re- celved for answer that parable of divinest compassion, telling of a humanity that had wandered far from God, wasted it's life forces in wantonness and sin, and yet was still looked upon as Gods child, and that He longed with the love of fathers heart to welcome 1t home, ragged and filthy and penniless as 1t might be, and to give 1t the marriage ring of a new union with himself, a robe of righteous ness in place of it's filthy rags and to give the preparation of the gospel of peace as shoes for the bleeding priar- torn feet.
 Jesus Patience.
