favored women among Orientals. They have achieved a picturesque and comfortable costume, too, so similar to that of men that at first glance there is little difference. Both sexes wear the straight, narrow skirts of gay-colored silk to be sure, but the mans skirt, brought snugly around the hips has it's fullness so tucked in at the waist as to cascade in a lordly ripple down the front. It is an anus ing sight to see a youngster of six trying to wear his tiny skirt so that it projects in front at the very angle affected by his dandified young uncle. The womans skirt, equally narrow and equally bright, is tucked firmly about the waist with the fullness fold ed over so as to lie in flat plait at the left side.
 Below these gay skirts twinkle bare feet, the skin about the color of warm old ivory. Above them the body is covered by short jacket of white cot ton. The woman adds a thin floating scarf and posy in her hair. A crowd of Burmese men and women is quite the brightest and most engaging color feast of the Orient.
 In the beautiful girls boarding school in Rangoon, called Kemendine, we attended an annual gymnastic drill given by the pupils. Not only was the technical skill remarkable, but the esthetic effects made one wish that American colleges could intro. duce Burmese gymnastic suits. One drill, with hoops of green garlanded with roses, was done. by demure maidens whose skirts were of pale blue and their scarfs of rosy tissue floating over their white jackets. The bare feet kept time to the most in- tricate and prolonged evolutions, and the bright faces crowned by black hair, 1ower-decked, were themselves fiowerlike in their young beauty.

Willet, one of the heaviest buyers. The estimate places the output during the year 1915 at 15,429,O10, as against 3,537,423 for 1914. With the opening up of new mines at this time, and the erection of new mill buildings it is believed that the output during the year 1916 will be double that of the year 1915
 Figures showing the production in tons in the North Arkansas field since 1903 are: 1903, 2,77O,OOO; 1904, 4,1SO,- 900; 1905, 4,410,OOO; 1906, 4,5OS, ,425: 1907, 2,349,9OO; 1908, 1862, $50; 1909. 1,615,440; 1910, 3,731, 800; 1911, 2,273,- 000; 1912, 2,609,000; 1913, 3,6O7,0 900; 1914, 3,607,0O0; 1915, 15,429,010.

Examine any one Of the statements
Of equality In the multiplication table
Of nine. up to and including nine times
ten. Select for example. 9x7=j3; or
9X2@18.
Observe that In each case the first
digit In the product is one less than
the number by which nine is multi.
piled. and the second digit In the prod
uct is such that when added to the
first digit, the sum of the two Is nine.
You may make practical use Of this
peculiurlty Of nine and its multiples by
applying 1t in the following way:
II nine is to be multiplied by eight.
for example. think at once OF seven
(which Is one less than eight. the mul.

be added to seven to make nine. and
you have seventy two. the product Of
nine and eight
Or, II nine is to be multiplied by FIVE
