For the benefit of needle and en-
broidery workers an Indiana man has
designed a handy apparatus. A lap
board has pair Of uprights mounted
on 1t and rocking arms resting in
grooves at the tops of the standards.
These are short arms, and ON their in
ner ends are clamps eo hold the hoops
in which the fabric Is held taut. On
the outer ends OF the arms are knobs
by means OF which they may be manip-
uated. An elbow rest Is mounted in
front Of the uprights. The needle
worker holds the device on her lap
and by turning the knobs on the outer
ends of the arms adjusts the hoop to
whatever angle she desires. 1t Is
thus held firmly. and she can give her
whole attention to the making of in
tricate stitches and If necessary rest
her forearms.

Conundrums.

Why are potatoes and corn Ike Ger
tain sinners of old? Because they have
eyes and see not. and having ears they
hear not.
Why is a trader like divinity stu
dent? Because he studies the prophets.
What was the longest day OF Adam 8
life? The day on which there was no
Eve
Why is a roomful Of married Indies
like an empty one? Because there Is
not single person in it.
What is the difference between cat
and comma? A cat has its claws at
the end of its paws. a comma its pause
at the end of a clause.
Why is black man out for holiday
like handy legged man? Because the
negro's out (knee grows out,.
Why Is there never such a thing as
one whole day? Because every day
begins by breaking.
why does good blow leave blue
mark? Because blow in the perfect

A Number Puzzle.

Ask q friend to think OF two, three
or more numbers. none OF which must
exceed nine, and you will tell him the
numbers thought of, If he thinks OF
two numbers double the first and add
] to the product. multiply the whole
by 5 and add to that product the sec
ond number If there be a third make
him double the first sum and add TO
It: then desire him to multiply the new
sum by 8 and to add to 1t the third
number. If there should be fourth
number YOU must proceed In the same
manner, desiring him to double the
preceding sum. to add ! to 1t. to mu'-
tiply hy s. and then to add the fourth
number. and so on; then ask the num-
Der arising from the addition of the
last number thought of. and If there
were two numbers subtract 3 from it.:
If three, 55: If four. 555. and so on. for
the remainder will be composed of
figures, Of which the first on the left
will be the first number thought Of
next the second. and so Of the rest
Suppose the numbers thought of to
be 3. A, G: by adding to 6. the dou-
BILE Of the first. we have Z. which being
multiplied by gives 35; If 4. the sec
ond number thought Of, be then added.
we shall have 80. which doubled gives
IS, and If we add and multiply ~ by

add 6. the third number thought Of

Quoted from it we shall have for the
