The sign OF subtraction was derived
from the word minus" The word
was first contracted into mus, with
a horizontal line above to indicate the
contraction, which was a printers
freak that may be found in almost any
book bearing date earlier than the
beginning of the eighteenth century.
After the lapse of a long period of
time the letters were omitted alto
gether, leaving only the short line so
well known to ALL
The multiplication sign was OBJ
tanned by changing the plus sign into
a character resembling the letter x.
This was done simply because multi

Division was formerly indicated by
placing the dividend above a horizon

The radical sign was derived from
the initial letter OF the word "radix."

Poke Weed Salad.

Just as soon as the common poke
weed begins to project its stout stem
above the ground and open its leaves,
1t is in condition for an ideal spring
salad. Only the tenderest tips of the
weed should be used and these should
be cleansed and cooked like any other
green. Drain and pack the cooked
vegetable into individual cups, and
when it is cold, turn out the nodded
forms and serve with French dressing
or mayonnaise on lettuce leaves. Poke
weed is also delicious used like spin
ach. Its flavor reminds some persons
of asparagus.

key and a saw twelve inches long,
coiled like a watch spring. In the cav

in the last London Lancet DIR. Rush
ton Parker relates more remarkable
case of the carrying of large foreign
body in that space of the head-and
that without the victim knowing that
his head was so filed up and weighted
down.
A young farmer consulted DR.. Par
ker at the Liverpool hospital for ma
sal abscess that had troubled him
some time. Probing the nostril, the
surgeon found that loose mass, ap-
parently of metal, coupled a consider
able space behind the nose and above
the roof of the mouth.
So large was this object that 1t was
removed with difficulty through the
side of the face. 1t proved to be
gun breech and an iron bolt. The
breech measured 3x1hx1 inches, the
bolt was three inches long. The weight
of the two was quarter Of a pound.
This mass of metal had been in the
mans head for five years, though he
had not suspected its presence there.
A muzzle-loading gun had exploded
in his hands and shattered his face.
The wound healed without leaving any
outward deformity. His only affection
was symptoms of nasal catarrh. The
young farmer made rapid recovery
to perfect health with the removal
of the iron from his head.
