IuG marx Oh It's ullSIE6dtuu6uI.
So it is with love. Neglect withers
it. Cruelty brushes it. Sometimes
lit distorts it beyond recognition.
II have come almost tc hate my
husband" one woman writes, after
years Of unhappiness.
Now he is trying to atone. But
the wife cannot forget the years Of
mistreatment.
Right now. she is determined to
leave, while he begs her to give him
another chance. Perhaps she will
stay They will build a new life.
They will find new happiness, per-
chance.
But the past years will leave their
scar. 1t will fade. but it never will
disappear.

Counting BY Hands

Many lad could get "E'' in arith-
metic and yet be excused if found
wanting in a counting match with the
natives of Guiana in South America. In
deed, it might puzzle even good
arithmetician to add together the num-
bers expressed by two men. hand and
first finger, and two hands and two
fingers.
The Indians of that quarter of the
world have Il system of enumeration
of their own, of which the human hand
is the basis. They count upon the fin
gers until five Is reached when they
denote the number by hand.
Six Is hand and first finger and
ten is two hands, hut when ~ Is
reached new name is used. Twenty
is denoted by u man and 10 by two
men.
FOrty-hve would be two men and a
hand, and 46, two men, hand and first
finger. 1t is not a complicated sys-
tenn, but it requires practice to use 1t
freely.
