FARMERS AM) PHONES.
Thy Are Already I'slng Thorn Out in
.Michigan.
Farmers are generally looked upon
as slow thinkers, but there ran hardly
be a better piece of testimony to the
intelligence of the agricultural commu
nities of this country than the fact
that they are largely udopting the tele
phone, not only .for communication
with adjacent or distant villagers und
between themselves, but for receiving
weather warnings and keeping in touch
with the markets. In Michigan, for in
stance, in the center of the great peuch
growing district, a telephone compuny
has been organized by thp farmers and
forty miles of wire are now In opera
tion, with thirteen stations. The fruit
growers llnd the service of Immense
value.
Formerly, If the state of the market
was to be ascertained for the guidance
of shippers, the fruit-grower had to
harness u: and ride into Hart, the
central town, many miles away. Now
the farmer goes to his telephone and In
a few minutes knows what prices are
ruling. In fact, much of the business
which heretofore has required a trip to
town Is now transacted over the wire.
The cost of the Installation is said to
have been small, and the system Is to be
extended within the next few months.

Are you a bookkeeper or a bunk
eli-rlc? Tf vnn nri. It Is Ion tn rmp that
I you don't know the peculiarities of
those things with which you Juggle
i dally In y.iur business namely, muni
hers. They nre certainly very "freaky'
things, and the average lay mathenut
tlcan kn.tws not half the mysteries of
which they nre possessed, although
amusing dissertations concerning them
are seemingly without end. '
To begin, there Is a method of suh
stracting the sum of several numbors
from the sum of several nher numbers
without adding each aT. separately.
First make this tab v )

Let It be supposed to substract all
the amounts below the line at B from
all those above It at A. Add all the
figures In tho first lower column B,
which will make 14. and substract their
sum from the next higher number of
tens, or 20. Add the remainder, 6, to
the corresponding column above at A,
and the total will be 23. Write down
3 at the bottom, and because there were
here two tens, as before,. there Is noth
ing to be reserved or carried. In a like
! manner add the figures of the second
column in B, which will amount to !,
i and this tnken from 10 will leave 1:
! add 1. therefore, to the second column
of the upper numbers, the sum of which
will be 20: write down a cipher at the
bottom, anil because there were here
two tens, while In the lower column
there was but one, reserve the differ
ence and substract it from the next
column of numbers, marked B, before
you begin to add. In the contrary case
thnt is, when there are more tens In
any one of the columns marked B than
In the corresponding columns above It
the difference must be ndded. In the
! first nlace. when It happens that the
difference cannot bo taken from the
next column below for want cf more
significant tlpuies, as th? case here In
the fifth column. It must be added to
the upper one and the whole sum
wilt ten below th line. By proceeding
l:i this manner the above result Is ob-'
talnt-d. und It will be found invariably
correct.
Any schcclboy who has passed mul
tlpllcntljn in his arithmetic knows that
to multiply a number by ten It Is only
nccsrary to add a cipher; by one hun
dred, two clph'is. and so on. Hence It
follows that to multiply by five it is
only necf ssary to suppose a cipher add
ed and divide by two.. Tlltlii, If it were
required to multiply 127 by live, with
a clrlur added ycu have 1.270, which,
dlvidu-d by two, equals C:!.1, the pro
duct required.
In a like manner, to nuiltlily any
number by twenty-fWe. two ciphers
must be added, or first assume that the
number has been multiplied by 100,
then divide by four. According to the
same principle, to multiply by 125 It will
be. necessary to add three ciphers and
divide by elrht.
The multiplication of any number by
eleven may be reduced to simple ncldl
tlou. Let the number to be multiplied
by eleven be 7,.riS3. The whole process
may be reduced to the following few
strokes of the pencil:
C7.5S3
713.413
J lift ray three and cipher nuike three;
write down three In the units' place;
then add elirlit und three, which muke
eleven; write down one In lens' place
and cany one; then add live, and elclit
and one carried make fourteen; write
down four In hundreds' place, and carry
one. Continue addlnc every figure to
the next following une, until the opera
tion is finished.
The same number may be mul'.iplied
In a like manner by Hi by first writ in;?
down the three, '.hen the mini of olt;iit
and add three, and so on.
Multiplying by nine may be reduced
to simple subwli action. Take, tor ex
ample, the same number tl7..r,s.",. The

After a cipher Is added to the end,
subtract each figure from that which
precede It, commencing at the right.
Continue in this manner, taking care to
borrow ten when the right-hand figure
is too small. -
These are some of the tricks of light
ning calculators. It is not hard to
learn these various systems, and the
peculiarities of each number, and when
a man gets them thoroughly into his
head, he is able to do some things ap
parently marvelous.
To determine the divisibility of num
bers Is perhaps one of the tantalising
things mathematicians have to deal
with,- The following properties are
useful:
Any number Is exactly divisible by
four if Its two right-hand figures are
exactly divisible by four.
When the sum of the digits of any
number Is exactly divisible by three, ho
Is the number Itself.
Any even number Is exactly divisible
by six which Is exactly divisible by
three.
If the last three figures of a number
are exactly divisible by eight, so is the
number Itself.
Any number is divisible by twelve
which la divisible by three and four.
BEEF AND GOOD TEMPER.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The "roast beef of old England" has
long had its place In song and story.
It is true that today It comes under the
guise of American and Australian
dressed beef, but It has always been
supposed thut It was beef which gave
the Kngllsh people sturdy and manly
qualities and helped to extend their
power and their dominion. Now comes
an Knglish woman with n book on "Diet
in Sickness and Health," which has
been Indorsed by that eminent physi
cian, Sir Henry Thompson, In win. she
declares that the chronic ill temper
which affects, or is supposed to affect,
Mr. Bull Is the result of excessive meat
eating. In less-meat-eating Frame,
she suys, urbunlty la the rul of the
home, and- In Japan she never heard
rude, angry words spoken by any but
Knglislitneii. She adds that "the half
oxidized products of albumen circulat
ing in the blood produces both mental
und morul disturbances."
That settles It. When Lord Byron
was asked on what he had written
"Don Juan" he replied: "Mostly on
gin." As the Kngllshinan dues his writ
ing and thinking mostly on beef, then It
is easy to understand what prompted
JaiiiieNon's raid on tho TrutiHvaul. It
was beef. too. which made lOugllfhmen
so angry over Kaiser W llllam's con
gratulatory message to President Kru
ger, which caused an expedition to bo
sent to depose the king of Ashanteo,
and prompts Lord Salisbury to assume
the attitude that he has done toward
Venezuela.
Hut there Is one strange feature of
the matter. Statisticians say that while
on Kngllshmnn gets away with forty
eight ounces of meat weekly we eat u
per capita of meat equivalent to seventy-five
ounces weekly. Think of this
and then of our angelic temperament,
and the problem Is one that cannot be
easily solved. Kvcry weeK wo fill our
selves full of the "halt oxidized pro
ducts of albumen;" they circulate In
our blood and yet wc manage to escape
the mental anil moral disturbances to
which those things subject our trans
atlantic cousins, w'e hang on to the
straps In street cars, we submit to the
extortions of traction companies, we
see city counellmen and aldermen car
ing nothing for our Interests, we allow
ourselves to be Jostled and pushed and
driven, wo sit calmly behind high hats
In theaters and suffer a hundred other
flfanntnfnrts. and vpt ivn'mnlrA nn slfrn
'of annoyance; the "half oxidized pro
ducts of albumen have no effect upon
us.
This must mean something. We are
