The best attested case OF great math-
ematicai computing powers In children
was that Of Vito Mangiamele. the son
OF Sicilian peasant. who was only
eleven years old. He was examined
by committee OF French scientists,
including such men as Arago. Lfbri
and Lacroix- He found the cube root
Of 3.796.416 In half minute ana the
tenth root Of 2s2. ATS. 249 In three min.
utes.
Then came the poser: what number
has the following proportions-that IL
Its cube is added to I've times it's
square and then forty-two times the
number and the number forty be sub
tracted from the result the remainder
Is zeroY'
Arago repeated the question. but
while he was repeating the last word
or II the boy answered correctly. The
number is fve."-New York Tribune

YOUR BACK YARD.

DO you remember or have you heard
h-Dr Conweli's lecture on Acres of
DiamondsY
The story is thus:
A man OF South Africa wandered for
years over veidt and kopje in search
or diamond mine. Discouraged by
his failure. he settled down I'm a house.
One day. digging In his back yard, he
came across a find which. being devei-
oped. resulted in the discovery Of a
rich mine OF diamonds.
And the moral Of the lecture. OF
course. Is the possibilities OF your linn
tied resources. There are acres OF
diamonds" in your back yard-not lit
orally. but potentially.
Take look at that BACKYARD.

PETER FENELoN cOLLIER.

A brave soldier n the battlefield of
ufe was wounded TO the death when
Peter Fenelon Collier died In New
York.
or the self made captains OF indus
try Collier was one OF the best made.
Born In humble home. he early
made friends OF good books. Loving
these books. he came to find his earli-
est employment as u canvasser for the
sale OF them.
And here he got his ilfe's inspiration.
MIR. Collier sold Bibles. The good
book was then an expensive volume.
One day. having tramped in vain. he
finally came upon scrubwoman, who
said to him:
NO. me boy. / have not that much
money. l Will give you a dollar now
and 90 cents livery week TIL II Is paid"
Young Collier had no authority to
make that sort Of sale, but he went
home and slept over the Irishwoman's
suggestion. The next morning he ex-
planned to his employer his idea. His
eioquence prevailed, and he was per-
mitted to make time sales.
The next day he sold fifty Bibles.
The idea was the origin OF his pub
fishing business. the selling OF books
Oh installments.
Successful In his business. Collier
rendered service to the people.
He cheapened the price not only Of
Bibles. but OF all books. He knew the
dynamic power resident In a good book
In a humble home. and 1t was his
ambition to put standard literature
into the homes OF the common people.
1t should be put down to the credit
OF Mr.. Collier that his publishing i'm
print never appeared on a trashy
book. Standard history. real poetry,
high fiction-this sort OF books he Is
sued from his presses and sold by the
million.
1T Is great thing to be able to
choose the reading of the masses OF
the people.
One who knew Collier intimately
says 1t was one Of the SORROWS Of the
mans life that the price OF books
should be advanced because Of the IN
creased cost OF production.
This brief article Ii not intended as
2 euiogy. but sketch. Nevertheless Il
confidently may be stated that Peter
Collier lived a life that was we'll worth
while.
He made money, but 1t is of record.

Marriage puts man up against the
reality of life.
And makes or mars him.
III he takes up the burden OF family
life and carries Il like man. IL puts
new power into his life
Ever see an oriental woman carry a
great Jar of water on her bead? What
power and poise and grace In her
movements. The burden does IL. 1t
makes her figure straight and her mo-
tons supple.
And so OF the family load.
He who takes up the support OF a
family finds that tt> doing of it keeps
him straight and We poised.
Marriage has made shy man SELF
reliant. selfish man generous. an In
dOlent man ambitious, a self centered
man self sacrificing.
Marriage is the acid test.
1t puts responsibility on a mans
shoulders, and responsibility, rightly
assumed, develops character.
Here is man who, unmarE; y is
content TO live In comparative comfort
without much exertion. He takes life
easy. He may have gifts, but is with
out ambition. The man marries, and
1t begins to dawn on him that increas-
ing demands make a larger income a
necessity.
The new demand is dynamic.
The man bestirs himself. He works
hard. He increases his income. And
in doing SO he discovers new powers
in himself. Marriage has developed
him.
The dependence of 4 family upon
him wakes up every fiber In q manly
man. BE Is made stronger in every
way. And
Aside from the financial require
ments, the trials and troubles OF fam
fly life bring out In him traits Of self
denial and long suffering and devotion
little suspected
Especially does the birth of children
In his family draw out and give ex-
preston to all that is strongest and
best In husband and father
The bachelor is not SO.
He is apt TO live a selfish life. He IS
apt to be cold and cautious. He is apt
TO be heart calloused by the hardening
and repressing of what is best In his
nature.
Moral2
The moral OF these observations lies
In the appreciation Of them.

Mother love, which, as Tennyson
says. runs through%allefhe world. is
limitless.
1t is as spontaneous s-exhaustless
as the love OF God.
An exchange tells the story OF nm
Indian mother down on the Texas
coast who, with her children, faced
starvation The mother searched ev-
erywhere along the shore for food
Finally she could walk no more.
Then this poor mother cut a strip of
flesh from her own body, which she
used as a bait to tempt the crabs.
And thus she fed her babes until help
came to .heI
Mother love demanded the pound OF
flesh. and there was no shrinking, and
there would have been no shirting had
the flesh been taken nearest the moth
er's heart.
Motherhood pays its debts to the last
farthing.
Not long ago the newspapers told the
story OF how Mrs. Ella Macarthur Jour
neyed on foot 1000 miles. drawing a
little express wagon. that she might
keep her children together and reach
some -aatives in the north.
1t was the only way the mother
knew, and she gladly undertook the
journey. 1t was n true heroic-only
one OF the many in the annals OF moth.
er love.
Love for her unborn child leads the
future mother down into the valley
and shadow of death-willingly, cheer
fully, hopefully-and love leads her to
offer herself through all the years a
living sacrifice for that child.
1t matters not whether the mother
be rich or poor.
Against the protest OF ,heSphysicians
the daughter OF Queen Victoria I'M
pulsively kissed her child who was
dying Of diphtheria. The mother died
because OF il. but she could not deny
the dying request OF her little one for
a kiss.
Mother love gives all.
For the love OF her hayward boy
Mrs. Thaw poured out the devotion of
n mothers heart and unstintedly gave
her money TO save that boy from the
gallows.
Mother love stops short only Mt
working miracles.
Somebody-who was it?-said that
when God discovered after he had Gre
ated Adam that he could not be around
all the time he created mothers.
Mothers take the place of God

TAFT AND ROOSEVELT
Their Relations and Temperaments
 Discussed by the Former

President Taft, in Golfers.
 No one associates with MT. Roosevelt closely without having the strongest possible affection for him. His mind, his disposition, and his temperament are all of that class that would rather make him agree than disagree with the people with whom he comes in contact. But this is net to say that he does not enjoy controversy and a fight accord ing to the rules of the game, for he does. He believes as strongly as pos sible in team work, and never served under any man, or hope to serve under another man, so intensely loyal to the cause which we were both seeking to uphold and so generous in his accept. ance of the full responsibility for lis subordinates in the work as Theodore Roosevelt. never served under another who was as generous in his praise of those who worked with him and who was as willing to accord more than their deserts to the men who were shoulder to shoulder with him in the fight.

Hygiene and Aereplanes.

Top floors are healthiest On the same principle to nest like birds among the trees is sound practice hygienic- ally and one that Is indulged in every summer by princess Marie of Rouma- mia, who owns an airy habitation that was erected for her by the king. This consists of small two roomed simply furnished cottage with kitchen, and has for its support four big fir trees. The idea is not original, but it sug- gests the most convenient form of abode for an aeronaut. as it facilitates the process of launching. Thus a man could step out of his dining room into the car. A possibility of the near fu- fure is the aerostation treatment of in- valids.

characteristic of his has been calculat. ed to tie men to him with bonds of steel.
 The general theory that MT. Roose- welt is of an exceedingly impulsive ns- ture is, perhaps, justified to the extent of saying that he has marvellous quick ness for experimenting question and reaching the nub of 1t, and almost an overwhelming desire to decide and get rid of the issue presented as promptly as possible. never knew man who worked as far in advance of what was to be done and who kept his engage ments with reference to what he had agreed to do as providently as MT. Roosevelt. Perhaps value this virtue more highly because lack it myself. The result of quick decision and action might have impaired the success of MT. Roosevelt,s career if 1t had not been that he has been freer than most men from that pride of opinion which prevents many men from admitting their error, reversing their judgment and changing their course. I have had to do with number of presidents and a good many chiefs, and am well with in the truth when say that never met a man who, upon proper presentation, would reverse himself as willingly and with as little trace of obstinacy or un- reasonableness as MT. Roosevelt.

It has never been ruff fed in the slightest degree, and do not think that we have ever misunder- stood each other. MT. Rcosevelt's tastes and mine have not been the same. In the matter of athletics he takes to those games more violent than I am suited to and more violent than I like. He has the strongest literary sense and power of application in reading current liter ature that to me is marvellous He loves the woods; he loves hunting; he loves life akin to that of the pioneer; he loves roughing it, and don't.
 MT. Roosevelt never had the educa- tion and practice of a lawyer. His in tense desire to reach practical results for good has made him at times impa- tient of the restraint of legal methods, while have been trained as lawyer and a judge, and I am as strongly i'm bued with the necessity for legal meth ods as eleven years on the bench are likely to make one; and yet, in spite of this difference of method and differ ence of temperament, it is quite remark able to me, and we frequently have com mented on it to each other, that we have been in agreement in our views as to the results that ought to be obtained in the matter of government and politi- cal progress, even to details, much more than other men who have come into association with both of us.

The light of victory in his eye, coun. sel for the defense rose to his feet and witheringly surveyed the sweet and twenty damsel who was suing for breach of promise of marriage.
 '"The lady talks" said he sneeringly, about honorable dealings. Well, gen. tlemen, I say let her look to herself My client tells me that she gave him her solemn promise to burn every let ter she received from him as soon as she had read it. What have you to re- ply to this, madam"
