FNt men from other sections are hard to Sonvlnce that the trees shown them are \only one, two and three and at most Apur years from planting. They fruit at least two years earlier than in any other known dis trict and their early ripenng makes them immensly profitable. The Early Newcastle ripens from May lst, the larger and later sorts from May 18th. Not cot was on the trees June lst last year. There should be large planting of this kind of fruit this spring.

A Curiosity Of Arithmetic.

\ mathematician in a scientific bu-
reau of one of the departments at
Washington has discovered that the
number 142, S57 is odd in more senses
than one.
If we multiply it by any number
from one mp to six we arrive at prod
ucts expressed by exactly the same
figures as the original. Not only so,
but, with the exception that differ
ent figure leads off each time, the or
der of the figures is the same.
142,S57 multiplied by is the same.
142,S57 multiplied by is 2S5,714.
142,S57 multiplied by is 42S,57l.
1i2,S57 multiplied by 4 is 51 ,42S
142,S57 multiplied by is 7l4,2S5.
142, S51 multiplied by 6 is S57,142
With this multiplying by six the

of multiplying the number by seven
gives the rather odd number of 999,-

THE PRINCE AND THE GENIE.
They Enter Into a Pact That Results
Happily for Both.

Prince Mohamid was sad. And well
ne might be, for the beautiful Princess
Corisande had refused, for the eighth
time, to marry him. SO you cannot
wonder that he was mournful.
Slowly and rehectively he gazed
down into the dark waters that bathed
the base of the high cliff by which the
royal castle stood.
All at once he heard a rushing OF
wind behind him. Turning he saw a
horrible giant of immense size bran
dishing great club.
Well, who are YOU" demanded the
prince, when he had recovered some
what from his establishment
Il am a genie," Numbered the giant,
in tones that rumbled long after he
had spoken.
Il am minded to be your friend. Do
you want the Princess Corisande for
your brIde?"
BY the beard Of the prophet | do!'
cried Prince Mohamid
The genie continued, Then do as
bid you.
You will find in the Mediterranean
sea huge rock that rises almost to
the clouds. Upon the summit a gigan-
tic bird has its nest. You will find
there yellow parchment with three
red seals. Bring 1t to me. The paper
is valuable to none but me, and | my
self am forbidden to remove it from
the nest.
Il give you a ring, without which
you could not set foot on the island
for you would be killed instantly by
enchantment. 1t viii protect your life
in two attempts for the parchment
Should you fail the second time, would
not advise you to try again, for moth
ing could save you"
SO saying, the genie vanished as
mysteriously as he had appeared, leay-
Ing behind him the ring of which he
had spoken.
While pondering over this strange
happening the prince saw approaching
from the distance little boat. When
1t reached the base CT the cliff it rest
ed upon the water.
The prince, without hesitating, seized
the ring left by the genie and climbed

down the cliff into the boat, which i'm.
mediately moved off of its own ac-
cord, heading for the open sea.
On and on the boat sailed until the
prince could see on the horizon the
great rock described by the genie.
The boat grounded ashore and he
leaped out.
Not q green thing was to be seen on
the island, nothing but the bare rock
rising sheer to the sky. How could
one reach the top of it? 1t was clearly
too steep to climb.
PerpleXed, the prince sat down on
fiat stone, when suddenly he became
aware that the sun seemed to have
ceased shining. Raising his head, he
beheld a terrible bird above him. Its
wings were as big as sails; each wick
ed talon was as long as six fingers; its
beak was long and sharp and pointed:
the head was massive and shaped like
that of an owl.
Hastily grasping his bow, the prince
shot an arrow at the bird with all his
strength, but though it struck the
black, glossy plumage Of the bird, it
broke as though made Of glass.
With horrible cries the bird pounc.
Ell upon him seized him in its talons
assembled with him to a point far
above the sea. and then released its
hold The prince plunged into the
water with a force that dazed him so
that lie was barely able to swim to
land.
He rested in the boat, discouraged
but not yet daunted.
Just then he saw the bird LEAVING
the nest accompanied by her brood Of
little ones. Fitting another shaft to
his bow, he shot once more. This
time the arrow struck one Of the
young birds, last in line. and stunned
II so that it fell on the shore just by
the boat.

was larger than man. he bound II to
