COUNTING IN FRENCH.
Sounds Qussr When You Jump From
Si,tty-nine TO Sixty-ten.

Sounds Queer When You Jump From
Sixty nine TO Sixty-ten.
It is usually assumed among civilized
nations that they all count alike and
that they use the decimal system. In
a general way this is quite true. And
yet the French have very peculiar
way Of counting. which seems to have
been devised by some one obsessed
with the idea of the circle or at least
of segment OF the circle.
Instead Of making 100 the basis of
the removal OF the digit to the third
place, that individual stopped counting
at 60 and then devised two quite cum
bersome methods Of getting up to 100.
The French. like the rest Of us, count
up to SO in a normal and healthy man
ner. Then when the next step Is to be
taken they say ''sixty-ten," and so on.
Seventy-three is sixty thirteen;" sew
enty-nine is 'ssixty-nineteen. When
the genius who devised French count
ing reached this number he seems to
have been puzzled for moment how
to go on. But with true Gallic inge-
nuity he made bold leap and called
eighty 'four-twenties."
Thus eighty-one become ''four-twen-
ties-one," and SO on. Eighty-nine is
''four-twenties-nin Here one would
expect him to strike another snag.
But he liked his solution OF seventy SO
well in fact, he had grown so enam-
ored OF it-that he tried 1t again, and
ninety becomes 'four-twenties-ten."

Where the Sun Seems TO Perch In che
Branches Of the Trees.
Slow boats slipped softly up the
stream and others still slept with
quiet gurgling at their anchors. A
craning, swan-like craft, with high carv-
ed beak and outstretched wings, swept
swiftly out to sea with rows OF naked
brown men bending sharply at the
oars. Sampans rocked on the rising
tide and gentle stir and stretching
from sleep ran up and down the Grim
son running river.
A bird gushed suddenly wondrous
liquid song from the low, mist covered
shores. Following came gentle breeze
that rent the fine silver tissues. rippled
the stream and showed, very naked
and ugly, low, fat lying town. With
the breath came faint, fine echo Of
bells dangerous. pausing tones of sill
yer. Then, emerging from the mists
and standing high above the level Of
the brown earth, cleaned bell shap-
ed. divinely pointed thing Of gold that
quivered dizzily for moment. then
dimmed behind bank OF mist.
Next the sun leaped into the day and
struck upon the sense like the sudden
clash of metal cymbals. The mists
curled instantly and vanished, the
shadows withefed under foot and a
bare white light trimmed like a knife
the ugly outlines of Rango0n.
Mind and body cry aloud for shelter
in the town. The sun hangs so low
perches In the very branches Of the
dust streaked trees. 1t Is appalling.
and the soul whimpers at the nearness,

Of the East" by Elizabeth Washburn.
