Some Interesting Figures

There Is a man in our country
who has bad quite lot of expert
ence with numbers and their com
binations. During his experience
be has stumbled onto Q lot OF
queer facts concerning numbers,
some of which are very peculiar.
all Of which are interesting. From
time to time we expect TO give these
interesting facts for the benefit of
our readers. Here are few of them:
Suppose you desire to know the
age any Young lady or gentleman.
They will figure it out # you will
only go about it in the right man
ner. Ask them to put down the
day and number Of the month as one
number, then multiply by five, add
8, multiply by 90, subtract 8, and
ada their age at last birthday.
When they give you the answer you
will subtract Ill. The answer con-
tains the age Of the party, the day
Of the month and the number Of the
month, IN which they we're born.
For instance ayoung lady is TWEEN
ty-one on the 95th day Of July.
Working out by the above you will
have: 725 multiplied by FIVE, plus
6, multiplied by 30, minus 0, plus
her ege 81, minus Ill equals 1926
81. By this you will know that
she was twenty-one on the twenty
fifth of July.
Teacher-"James, how much re-
mains If you take six from nine."?
James-"Why, sir. 1t leaves
one"
"Teacher-"You may show the
school how you get the result"
James goes to the board and writes
the word, T K L e PHONE
James "There sir, is a word of
