ed to bishops in the United States
by Il recent Pontifcal Indult, permits
sion is granted to working people

The usual prohibition remains against
using flesh meat and fish at the same

Where the wage-earner, in virtue
of the indult, uses meat, all the mem

mute the precepts OF fasting and absti-
hence to other pcnitential work.

London Chronicle: We shall never
be in danger of forgetting that our
ancestors did their sums on their fin
gers as long as arithmetic retains the
word ''digits.' But modern civiliza-
ton knows nothing of the elaborate
developments of this method
1t takes a Wallachian peasant TO
multiply eight by nine on his hands.
This is how he does it: The fingers of
either hand, beginning with the thumb,
stand for the numbers from six to
ten. SO the ring finger of one hand
and the middle finger of the other are
stuck out to represent eight and nine.
Counting the fingers remaining on the
side furthest from the thumbs, he
finds them one and two respectively,
and one multiplied by two gives him
the units of his product-Two. Then
he counts from the thumbs TO the
stuck-out fingers inclusive, finds them
three and four, adds these, and gets
seven for his tens. Answer-seventy-
two
All this to avoid knowing the null
tiplication table beyond four times
four, Try it as a game.
