 Did we learn our rule of three and our Euclid from IndlaI Researches have brought to light astronomical ta- bles in India which must have been constructed by the principles of geom- etry. Some are of the opinion that they have been framed from observations made not less than 3.00O years before the Christian era, and if this opinion be well founded the science of geom- etry must have been cultivated in h. dia to a considerable extent long be- fore the period assigned to its origin In the west, SO that many of the eleinen- tary propositions may have been brought from India to Greece

A CLEVER TRICK.

Tho Way Lord coekrane Once Won an
 English Election.
 When Lord Cochrane was a candi- date for parliament in Honiton he re- fused to give any bribes. As his oppo- neut gave f5 head, Lord Cochrane suffered defeat. The latter, however, sent the bellman round the town an nouncing that all those who had voted for Lord Cochranc would receive 10 guineas apiece if they called on his agent. In those preballot days of course 1t was known how each man voted, and the happy minority march ed off to the agent, each getting his 10 guineas. Naturally enough, the major ity began to think they had made a mistake, and they resolved to rectify that mistake at the first possible mo- ment In due course an opportunity came. There was another election. Lord Cochrane stood again, and the voters, remembering his lavish meth ods, asked him no questions, but re- turned him with a roaring majority. Then they conveyed a delicate hint to the noble lord asking what he pro posed to give them for this distinguish ed service. Not one farthing!" roared his lordship. The unhappy men re- minded him that he had paid 10 guin- eas a head to the minority at the pre- vious election. A complacent grin frightened the face of the member as he gave this explanation: "The former gift was for their disinterested con- duct in not taking the bribe of f5 from the agents of my opponent. For me now to- pay them would be a violation of my own previously expressed prin- ciples."

Tommy made himself the hero of story, which the Boston Record prints, when he called for "that one about the boy who ate the ribbons and 1t made him sick"
 Aunt Ethel was puzzled. "I know of no such story" she said, after searching her memory vainly.
 Nothing she could suggest answered the description. Tommy cannot read, but he thought he could find the book. He found 1t. They read one thing aft CT another, until in the midst of the Might Before Christmas" Tommy gave a whoop of glee. Aunt Ethel was read ing:

brown and wrinAled as winter pear. Before I left we were on the best of terms and I had promised to call again at theAr earnest solicitation
 did call again, but all without sec ing J1cqueline, save that the pretty minx showed her dark eyes and rosy face a moment before vanishing. She sometimes came in and served her fa- ther and myself with the glass of wine and the cracker, and disappeared again, but she never loitered an in- stant.
 Frequently, after that, when I went to Vandedecken place, Jacqueline re- mained at work in the room, now talk ing a trif1ing part in the conversation, now keeping her peace altogether I carried her, one day, basket of Fron. tignac grapes, full of the sunshine of France, as I told her; on another day, punches of violets; sometimes hands, full of fresh, fair roses. She was a freakish little thing, with all her moods, and today full of thanks, to-mor- row scarcely vouchsafing a syllable. Through it all, though, we became fast friends and as time went on fell mad ly in love with her.
 But these oscillations and vibra- tions-to-day, a sunbeam. tomorrow, an icicle. could endure such a crea- ture of infinite variety no longer. I had not the constitution for it. I would know, at once, the worst or the best; would subdue her. or have done with her; would put my fate to the touchstone, and see if I were to re- ceive my portion of sordid metal, or of fine gold.
 She sat busily engaged at her em- broidery like a fixture when I arrived the day had decided to settle it. The general had gone out and I had come in. I had been greeted with an inclination of the head, a simple sen- tence. and then silence went to the rug and warmed myself before the fire; she sat at the other side one step away But the inclination of her head had given finishing stroke to the hair that had loosened as she bent over her work: down it all came. like the night. tumbling in great. travelled coils, and falling round her like a nuns veil She lifted her two little hands to part it from the face over which such a flush was streaming like an aurora. and then I stepped and stood before her.
 How long do you imagine shall put up with this. Jacqueline?" I said. Do you suppose can live under a sky so variable; this hour. June-the next. January? Henceforth, it is to be all summer-do you hear? put this seal upon it!" and bending down. I had kissed her red. warm mouth. She grew as white as she had been rosy. her head fell forwards; thought she was about to faint. and sprang to take her in my arms. But she only hid the white face there.

A Handy Measure.

If you have a pint jug and wish to measure on half a pint with tolerable accuracy it Is useless tostry and do so by guessing when the jug Is half full A better way is to tiIt the jug until the contents just reach to the upper end of the bottom of the vessel and just touoa the lip at the lower end of the mouth. In this way the space in the pint jug is practically cut into two equal portions, each half representing the space taken by half a pInt-Lou- don Graphic.

A Bio Suit Over a Small Sum.

A wealthy Frenchman recently bought a ticket at a Paris railway terminus, but missed the train he intended to take. While waiting for the next train, which left two hours later, he studied the company's tariff to pass away the time. He then found that he had been charged IA francs 45 centimes, where as the proper fare was only If francs 42 centimes. He asked for his money back at the office, but without result, An interview with the station master was also unsuccessful. He afterward wrote a number of letters to the com pany, but received no answer. He then commenced an action to recover the 3 centimes. He won the action in the lower court, but the company took it to the appeal court, afterward to the cour de cessation. Both courts dis missed the appeal, and the company was ordered to pay the plaintiff the 5 centimes. The cost to the company amounted to S,250 francs. or $1,650.- Railway and Engineering Review.

THE QUESTION
OF BIG SALARIES

Editor Advertiser: I would like to
know why all this exertion to raise
salaries of officials above the amounts
they were, during the last political
campaign.
For every office there were two or
more candidates each of whom was
anxious to fill the chair and perform
the duties of said office for the salary
then attached thereto. Now since we
are SO hard up as to be obliged to
cripple the police and fire departments
(for economy's sake) where is the con-
sistency of raising salaries when there
are numerous capable persons willing
and wishing to fill those positions at
the same salary as belonged to those
positions during election?
When the Heads of Departments"
positions were reduced from $500 to
$3.50, did any one resign? Not so you
could notice it. Competent men are
working in private positions from 500
to $3.50. Then why should the govern
ment pay more?
A number of persons who are get
ting large salaries from tire govern
ment were never able to command
more than an ordinary salary in pri-
vate life. so why should they be con-
sidered so valuable now?
When good officials can not be pro-
cured for salaries paid last year 1t will
be time to consider a raise.
