SYMBOLS IN ARITHMETIC.
Origin Of the Plus, Minus, Multiplica-
ton and Division Sians.

When you make the sign OF in q
problem Of addition, perhaps you do
not know that you are really using the
first letter Of the word plus in q
somewhat altered form. At first the
capital letter. was used, but as IT
was made more and more quickly and
carelessly the top part of the letter.
became merely q horizontal line drawn
across the edge Of the vertical:
The sign used in subtraction has even
a stranger history. The word minus
was first shortened into mus with
a horizontal line above to indicate the
contraction; after awhile only the let
ter m, with the line above it, was used,
and finally the letter was dropped, and
now we have only the hastily made
horizontal line.
AS multiplication is but a short form
Of addition, the plus sign was turned,
sidewise into a character resembling
the letter x.
Division was formerly indicated by
placing the dividend above a hori-
zontal line and the divisor below. In
order to save space in printing the
dividend was placed to the left. and
the divisor to the. right. with a simple
dot in place Of each.-Y6uth's Com

''Bought and Paid For"

William A. Brady's production of
Bought and Paid For'' is testing the
seating capacity of the theaters every
where. and nothing seems to diminish
the drawing qualities of this, the best
of the Broadhurst dramas.
Bought and Paid For is really a
remarkable play. The entire action is
centered in and fully carried out, by
the four chief characters. There does
not seem to be a superfluous word in
the book. The play moves along in
a direct and forceful path. the humor-
GUS portion being as essential to the
telling of the serious part as. are the
strong scenes of the drama. There is
mo dragged in comic relief. social ed.
The fun is human and real.
Bought and Paid For ran for fifteen
months at the Playhouse. New York,
six months at the Princess theatre
Chicago4and over six months at the New
Theatre. London, England.
Seats are on sale for the engagement.
1t is evident that no mistake was made
in booking '.Borght and Paid For, -
which will appear at the Dickinson
opera house on January 22nd.

different times and in different places.
Anyone stuck with the sharp, heavy.
awl-shaped prickles would 1fkely. re.
member the plant by the name Of sand
bur. These Qrickles are borne on the
calyx Of the flower. When they are
ripe they are yellow and stick out in
all directions from the globe, or spher-
ical shaped berry or fruit.
The flowers of the weed are shaped
a good deal like potato flowers, and
the fruit, aside from the prickles, is a
good deal like a potato fruit, not like
a potato tuber, but like a potato seed
ball. Such are the reasons why this
sand bur, or lbeaked nightshade, be-
longs to the potato family.
The common potato is tuberosum.
This beaked nightshade is solanum
rostratum. Those botanical names
are a considerable help Tuberosum,
the common potato, is the one which
bears tubers. Rostratum means like
a birds beak. That is what those
stickers on the fruit of this beaked
nightshade are like.

oval in complete outline. They are,
however, deeply cut or slashed into
several divisions, so they are also
f~eather-like. But one of the distin,
gushing characters of the leaves of
this particular plant are the fine hair
like prickles on their surface. A close
view with a good lens will show these
to be arranged in star-like clusters,
five to eight hairs in a cluster.
The plant is an annual. Though it
is a most disagreeable weed the fact
that it is an annual makes it destroy
able by not letting it go to seed. In
this respect it differs from the horse.
nettle, which is a perennial, though
horse-nettle and beaked nightshade
belong to the same family.

THE MEADOW LARK.

Estimated This Bird Is Worth $40 to
$50 a Year to the Farmer. !
The meadow lark is one of the
farmers best friends. Some are &C.
cusing it of eating some seed grain.
1t may have done SO, but grain is not
its principal diet. Insects form its
main food. Grasshoppers eem to be
it's choice, though it eats most insects
that are abundant, as beetles, bugs,
caterpillars, flies, etc. In the spring
it eats a large number of cutworms.
The meadow lark is a ground feeder,
so it gets. many of the insects that
are overlooked by the birds that live
in trees. Some grain and weed seeds
have been found In their stomachs,
but never any sprouted grain. Even
in the winter the meadow lark feeds
largely on insects and weed seed.
The weed seed included rag weed,
smartweed and pigeon grass.
1t has been estimated that a
meadow lark is worth $40 to $40 a
year to the farmer on account Of the
insects that it eats. They should be.
encouraged and protected.

HIS PROPHETIC DREAM.
Curious Story Of a Warning That Came
From Sunderland.

Curious Story Of a Warning That Came
From Sunderland.
The following prophetic dream was
related by the president of a fheolog-
zeal seminary:
It had been the custom of one of the
professors to invite all the students,
with members Of the faculty, to din
lei at a hotel or the annual Thanks
giving day. On the morning Of that
day(the wife Of this professor suddenly
fell dead in her dressing room at 6
O'clock.
that morning at Z o'clock one Of the
students woke up from a bad dream.
He had dreamed that he sat down with
the usual company at the Thanks
giving dinner and that Immediately;
one of his fellow students rose in his
place, saying that It was his painful
duty to announce to- the company that
the wife Of their host had suddenly
died at s o'clock that morning.
This dream, however, he had in
stantly banished from his mind as an.
uncanhy probability and had thought
no more about it: But on going to
the dinner and taking his seat with
the company he was u~nspeakably
amazed to see the student seen in the
dream rise and to hear him make the
announcement made in the dream

Yes. He Could Hold Him.

A christening ceremony was taking
place inc church in q mining district
in Scotland. The infant that was to
be christened was very gloriously ar
rayed. Among. other things it wore a
splendid bonnet, which, when the
critical moment arrived, the mother
had some difficulty in removing.
With the eyes Of the congregation
upon her the poor1woman was greatly
fustered, and her attempts to hold
the baby and take its bonnet Off at
the same time seemed likely to end
in her dropping the infant on the floor.
The clergyman turned rather i'm
patiently to the father, a tremendously
powerful looking collier, who was
standing stolidly watching his Wife's
struggles.
aCan't you hold the child9" he asked
sharply.
The big collier turned a disdainful
glance on the minister, rather a dimin-
utive man. sHaud him!n he whispered
