To Multiply by Division.

Everybody knows that learning the
tens in the multiplication table is as
easy as ''pie" and that the fives are
not much harder; but, slight as is the
mental effort required in multiplying
any number by five, it may be lessened
still more by discarding the multiplier
entirely and substituting a divisor in
stead. This may sound paradoxical,
but by experimenting you will find
that dividing by two will bring the
same result as multiplying by five,
provided you add cipher to the quo
tient If the dividend be an even num-
Der or five if it be odd. For instance,
if you multiply 2,734 by five the prod
uct is 1860. What is still easier, di-
vide 2,734 by two, which is done al
most simultaneously; then tack on
your o and you have 1860.

Miss Mary L. GRAHAM of Andover.
Mass. a teacher in the Sivas Normal
school, in Sivas, Turkey. who is in
New York for a years vacation, said
the other day when seen at the rooms
Of the American board of commission
ers for foreign missions that when she
left Turkey about March 1 there were
part of Turkey. and some uneasiness
was being felt by the missionaries
throughout the whole country. OF all
the foreign missionaries in Turkey,
Miss GRAHAM said, the Americans
were treated the best and had the
most respect shown them by Turks.

said she was certain the killing Of DR..
ID. NJ. Rogers at Adana had been ac-

ing toward the sultan Miss GRAHAM
SAIL:
'eNot a Christian in Turkey trusts
re sultan. and very few of his own
people do either. His death would be
welcomed by all missionaries. You
know when the sultan dies twenty
three guns will be fred" And Miss
Graham smiled. '"That is so. When
ever q cannon is fired in Constantine
pie the people all stop work and begin
to count Sometimes when fifteen or
twenty shots are fired the tension is
very great. for with just so->many
more there'll be no sultan. Yes, un-
.derstand it is a joking number here in
New York, but it is true nevertheless,
and we want the twenty-three to come
as soon as possible"

SMOKE A BLESSING.
Coal Operator Declares Carbon In 1t

Coal Operator Declares Carbon In 1t
Is Boon to Health.
Smoke is blessing to the world and
a boon to health. according to a recent
statement by w. P. Rend. coal mag
nate, in reply to an address by Secre-
tary E. R. Pritchard of the Chicago
board of health declaring it a nuisance.
'"This talk about smoke being curse
is all nonsense" Mr.. Rend declared.
''Take the coal operator, who is at all
times breathing not only smoke, but
coal dust in addition. His lungs are
black with both, and yet he is one Of
the healthiest men in the world. In
all my experience among coal oper-
ators / know of only one who died Of
tuberculosis.
''The carbon in the smoke is a boon
to health. As the smoke ascends the
carbon contained in it kills germs Of
every kind of disease and purifies the
air, and it is this that this new class
of 'reformers' would do away with"

READY FOR CHRISTMAS.

Rich Chicagoan Took Time by ForeIock
by Buying Art Stores Entire Stock.
Acting under a sudden impulse to
prepare for next Christmas. IL. L.
Cramer, a rich Chicagoan. bought at
auction the other afternoon the entire
stock of a big board walk art store in
Atlantic City. n. j. While Il hundred
gasping patrons. who had hoped to
buy a picture or cup and saucer. look
ed on amazed the Chicagoan coolly
proposed to buy the entire place and
as coolly bid in the stock OF "old
masters" decorative electroliers and
other wares for something more than
$4,000.
Cramer drew attention to himself in
the last few days by clearing thou
sands of dollars in trades made in
board walk brokers' Offices. Seeking
less exhilarating pastime, he entered
the art store, saw several pictures
he liked, then, weary of buying them
one by one, said:
''Say. what do you say to putting up
the whole place and giving a fellow a
chance to get throughY'
The entire stock is for sale, and we
would just as lief sell it in lump"
replied the proprietor:
That's me-" returned Cramer.
"a customer has asked that this en-
tire place be put up at auction" an
nounced the proprietor to hundred or
more strollers who had come in to
make small purchases. Nobody object
ed. and the sale was started at $500.
bid by Cramer. Several wealthy spec
tators decided to take a hand, and the
bids mounted by thousands until it
reached the final figure. Cramer gave
his check for the amount before the
crowd had filed out and at once gave
orders that the purchase be packed
and shipped to his country home in
Indiana.
81 have always desired to be pre-
pared for Christmas" Cramer said.
"This time / bet I'll have enough to
go around without worrying next De-
cember'
Experts who have knowledge of the
stock say the purchaser has big bar
gain. The stock includes pictures
bought in Europe.

HEART IN CANAL WORK.
Injured Foreman of Dredging Wanted
to Know Excavation Records.

Injured Foreman of Dredging Wanted
to Know Excavation Records.
Here is little human interest story
which comes from the Panama canal
zone:
Laurent Roquebert, general foreman
Of the dredging at La Boca, has been
a dredgeman at the Pacific entrance to
the canal for twenty years or more
in fact, since the time of the old
French company. While at his work
on the evening Of March % he was
crushed between two clapets and has
been lying critically Ill at Ancon hospi-
tai. Two days after the accident the
resident engineer at La Boca went to
see him and was greeted with the
question:
GLOW many yards?" Requebert re-
ferred to the amount of dredging that
had been done in March, and when
told that all records had been broken
he asked:
"And the Gopher-what did she doY'
The Gopher. like the dredgemaster,
is a heritage from the French. 1t is
seagoing Scotch ladder dredge that has
been at work at La Boca almost con-
stantly for twenty-five years. Rogue
bert was at one time the master on
this dredge, and his confidence that 1t
was the best worker in canal eXcava-
ton was mistaken until October. 1908.
when dredge No. / of the Colon first
took the record.
In answer to the question, And the
Gopher-what did she do?" he was
told. ''She holds the record by over
5000 yards"
The dredge master closed his eyes.
sighed in satisfaction and said, ST am
so happyr'

planting INFESTED or ungraded seed.
A few hours of careful work may
mean double the yield for the year.
ITO test seed corn requires simply
a shallow box or pan in which clean
saw dust may be placed and moisten-
ed. The selected grains of corn from
tip, center and butt of each ear are
placed on its surface and covered with
several thicknesses of wet cloths.
This box should be set in warm
place and the grains allowed to
sprout. Boiling the saw dust will
prevent molds appearing to inter :ere
with the test.
"A bushel of seed will plant six or
seven acres, and few poor ears in
that amount will cause very uneven
stand. Five or six bushels of corn
can be tested by the ear method in
two or three hours if they are spread
out in rows on long tables and
numbered to correspond with the
grains that are placed in the testing
box. The removal of one or two bad
ears from each bushel may mean a
uniform crop, as compared with one
that has many vacant patches.
Every farmer should carefully
grade his seed as we'll as test it, SO
that only we'll formed, vigorous grain
is used for planting. The seed buyer
should insist on purchasing the seed
corn in the ear, and the scoop shovel
method of handling seed corn, taking
it at random from the bin, should be
carefully avoided"
