Interesting Tricks With Numbers For Little Mathematicians, Tell some friend to put a number down on a piece of paper. Let it be any number above hundreds, For instance, $8,301. Tell him that he may place an- other number under this containing the same number of figures. Then you place under that another number. Then be the next and you the last, Allow him then to place a paper or something over all the figures but the top row, so that you cannot see them. You can then draw a line below the paper and almost instantly tell him the sum of the several numbers, never fail. Mp. He may say that you have com- Juitted the figures to memory while they were being put down. Let him try it, when he will be convinced that he is “Wrong. It is done in this way: He puts down, say, 08,801 for his first number and 35, 428 for his second. "Then you put down, offhand, ©4071. le has one more chance and puts down, say, 83,602, and you then follow with 16,307. The fig- ures will stand thus: 88. 35,428 64.571 £3,600 16,307 Go Now place the paper over all the fig- ures but the first number and quickly put down the sum of the columns—298,. 200-which upon verifying will be found to be correct Now I will explain how this is done, After the figures have been set down and covered you have the key to the problem in the first number, which is left uncovered. In any number of fig ures—say five, as in the example given —00. 000 would be the that could be written friend 85,425, see: largest number Your set down as his second number to which you added 64.571. Now Very well 35.428 64.571 0,90 You have put down a sum which, added to his second number, will equal all and no more than can possibly put in the five figures. His third row was 83,602, to which you added 16,307. Again . 90.7% 53,693 16.207 You see, you have twice added to the original figures 90.900, which is equal to adding 18 to each of the figures in the first number, which would equal 208.200, the correct answer The simplest way to arrive at the re sult, however, is to subtract two from the first number set down and when done prefix a 2 to the remainder. Thus: 8.301 M 08.20 No matter what your figures are, you will always get the correct result, pro vided, of course, you have made no error in your operation. be wy Nicer Even Than a Dell. “Hush-a-by, baby!” sang Winnle to her doll as she sat by the door of her cottage home one bright autumn day. 8he had come back from school, and she meant to have a good game with Rosa Annie, as she had named her doll But very soon mother stood in the door- way with little Ben “Winnie,” she said, “baby Is waking, and I must get father's dinner. Put dolly down, my dear, aud take Ben and baby into the lane. The fresh air will do them good.” Do you think Winnie pouted or frowned or grumbled? Oh, no! Winnie liked to help mother as much as she could, and very soon she was out with the little in the lane where the blackberries grew “Oh, baby,” she cried as she hugged ter little sister May, “you are nicer even than dear Rosa Annie, for she only but clap your hands and laugh and jump and hold out farms Why fa ther's coming tun and meet him, Benny, and he'll give you a ride hame on his shoulder.” ons smiles, you can your {0 me look, to dinner A Fanny Little Boy. boy 1 know s 10 & Pownstairs in just the regulation way; oer - \ ' Ho fran {/ oi pl Arid Lf SI NEW WOMAN OF LLISURE.
