Ar Er,IIaI Tact

It is an interesting fact that the two studies of arithmetic and geography often seem to be opposed to each other in the affections of school children Pupils who are particularly proficient in the one are apt to be backward iD the other.
 A story is told of youngster who was slow in arithmetic and whose ap- parent stupidity in this field was a great source of grief to his father. 8 clever mathematician.
 One day when the father and son were walking out they passed a place where 'learned pig was on exhibl. ton, and the father took the boy in to see the predisies that the animal could perform.
 Just look at thatw said the father. Why, there's q pig that can count and add up numbers! Don't you wish you were as smart as he?"

The words folio, quarto. octave. duo decimo and the like have almost if not quite lost their original meaning. At first they had reference only to the number of leaves into which the sheets used in making the books were folded Thus if these sheets were folded once so as to form two leaves or four pages the book was called folio: if the sheets were folded twice so as to form four leaves the book was called a so as to form eight leaves the book was called an octave, and so on.

they should come back after tbs. shop

Shortly after dinner they stood on

the boats below and listening to the
cry of the barker as he tried to induce
the passing crowds to patroidze his
swan boats.
But when her mother started toward
the boat landing, little Elsie declared
very vigorously that she did not want
to go at all. and as her mother urged

PRAYED JUST TO KILL TIME
Blind Chaplain lmpIored to Keep at II
While the Lost journal Was
Being Sought.

There is good deal of quiet laugh,
ter going on when two or three of the
members get together over a prayer
made by Rev. DR.. Couden when he
was chaplain of the house Chaplain
Couden, who is known as the blind
chaplain, having been totally blind for
nearly half a century from bursting of
smells in the war, is very special
pleader, making an appeal to the Most
High in very personal manner. In
this particular prayer he was deploring
undertaking, and told the Lord all
about it very effectively. 1t recalled
to mind prayer made by chaplain
good many years ago, which was re-
called by member of the house, who
stated he had actually forgotten who
made the prayer or who was speaker
at the time. He only remembered the
incident. The journal clerk" relates
the member, rushed into the house
and up to the desk while the chaplain
was praying. The chaplain stands
right beside the journal clerk while he
prayS. The clerk looked over the pa
pers on his desk in a very hasty man
ner, and then leaned over to the chap
lain, slamming his papers about all the
time, and said: Keep on praying. We
can't find the journal
"Mr. Chaplain was so startled that
he faltered in his prayer. but after a
moment he seemed to grasp the stu
alton. He bowed his head still lower
and continued to pray. The usual
time devoted to prayer in the house is
about one minute. Members began to
shift uneasily on their feet. to look at
their watches, and, instead of bowling
their heads in reverence, they looked
at the speaker pleadingly. The speak
er, evidently, had been informed of
the difficulty, and, realizing that the
business of the house could not pro-
coed without the journal. he was will
ing that the members get plenty of
prayer After ten minutes solid pray
ing the preacher showed signs of get
ting nervous. He knew the members
were getting FESTIVE, and he looked
down to one of the clerks.
Don't STOP pleaded the clerk. We
haven't found it yet
The preacher did not stop until he
had been praying for Is minutes, at
the end of which time the journal
clerk rushed into the house bearing
the precious book under his arm.
"'Amen,' said the chaplain, with a
sigh of relief. and the speaker prompt
Iy ordered the clerk to read the jour-
nal Of the preceding days business"
