A Biblical Mathematician.

An interesting problem in mathe-
MATES assumes the form Of tradition
connecting itself with the name Of Jo-
sephus, the Jewish historian. After
the Romans had captured Potopat, so
the story runs, Josephus and forty 9th
ers sought shelter in cave. So afraid
were they Of falling into the hands OF
the Romans that all Of them excepting
Josephus and one other man resolved
to kill themselves The wit of the his
torian began to work, devising a
scheme to save himself and this other
man who was like minded with him
self. He therefore proposed that they
all stand In a semicircle, that they put
each other to death, killing every tlxrd
man in regular order and that the last
surviving man should then commit sui
eide. This agreed upon, he was care
ful to place his like minded comrade
In the sixteenth place in the line and
himself In place thirty-one, with the
result that the two were the last that
were left and by this means escaped
death. 1t is a true problem, and the
question was to know before the kill
ing began which numbers in line the
two friends should assume:-Louisvill

Zulu "House Bows"

The best Of all servants in South
Africa is Zulu, especially If he is
raw.-that is, fresh from his native
kraal and totally unspoiled by the
wiles of civilization. Such "house
boy" is honest, sober, quick, clean and
anxious to learn the ways of the white
man. He soon becomes as deft as an
English butler and as handy as the
ideal housemaid. He does everything,
from cooking to answering the door.
and after little practice he does 1t
well. The boys have all manner of
strange names, usually chosen by
themselves from some one or other Of
the words they hear often used, such
as sixpence, "tickey" threepenny
piece. shilling, breakfast, kettle. silly
fool. ugly, pint pot. scrubber. chopper
or whisky.-Harper's Weekly.

still fresh and green, it shc uld
be wet down with Paris green

ternoon so that it will keep jus.
as long as pos sible, twist
punches of this wetted clover
into wads, more CIR less CON-

fields at shot intervals. The
cut worms will hide under such
wads CT z esh green food IN the

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.


There Is no better way to
keep thin than by constantly
looking for something to worry
about. First Of all you must
learn to take life a little cas-
Ter" See the funny things and
the pleasant things and just for
get the others. When you have
esta blished this habit then try
the daily dose Of olive oil about
two hours after your noon meal.
Take a glass Of hot milk at bed
time and another In the middle
of the afternoon. Do not boil
the milk. Just get 1t hot and
sip it slowly instead Of drinking
it down as you would cold milk.
Do not forget also that you
must always have plenty of
fresh air to breathe. Initiated
air will burn up the flesh you do
gain very quickly.

4 new class was started in Spencer
ian shorthand last Monday the mem
bers being Miss Bernice Bow OF Ard

Mannsville. The quality of this class
makes up for what it lacks in quaint
ity.
Miss Bow will take the bookkeep-
ing course work along with her short
hand and typewriting. She has -
splendid English foundation, hence
the work will be easy for her, and We
have no hesitation in predicting that
she will complete the full combined
course in as short time as it has
ever been done, in fact, in a little
shorter time, as she is taking Spen-
cerian-C Charter shorthand. which is
much more easily learned than the
system we have formerly taught
Miss Chlvers is already high
grade stenographer, having compile
ed Pitman shorthand and touch type
writing with us some time ago. She
was using the sight writing when She
came to us and changed to the touch,
She is so well pleased with the new
typewriting that she decided TO trE
the new shorthand. She began the
new system at the earnest solicitation
of Mr.. Selyidge as he was very anN'
ious to have this new system thorough
ly tried by an expert Pitman writer.
Miss Chivers reads her Pitman notes
like print and has splendid speed IN
writing. Mr.. Selvidge and the entire
school are all looking forward with
great deal of interest TO the outcome
OF the test Miss Chivers is giving the
new system of shorthand.
