How Figures Can Grow.
When a person keeps a running
account at a store the bill that
comes in has figures at the bottom,
nine times In ten; bigger than the
buyer expected, because he has
not kept the run of bis purchases.
But ths way figures run up and in-,
crease in an ordinary store bill is
not to be compared to the way they
snowball by the process that is
called "geometrical progression"
that is, doubling' each time. The
story about the horseshoe nails,
told in the old school arithmetic,
is familiar. An ignorant rich man
agreed to pay a farrier a penny for
the -first nail used in shoeing his
horse and double it for each of the
thirty-two nails; The total amount
was enough to buy an estate, j Ac
cording to another story, a king
offered to pay to the man who in
vented the game of chess any re
ward he should demand. He was
surprised at the inventor's modera
tion in asking one grain of wheat
for the first square on the chess
board, doubling each time for the
sixty-four squares. He was even
more surprised when the calcula
tion was made to find that he was
not rich enough to pay the reward
and that there was not enough
wheat in the kingdom to comply
with the man's demand.
The other day Miss E. McClel
Ian, of New York, started a "chain"
letter to gather dimes for a home
for Admiral Schley. She wrote a
letter to a friend, asking for a
dime, and that this friend should
write to three others, asking for a
dime from each, and that each of
these should write to three, and so
on up to No. 40. Mr. B. F. Bond,
of Hugeratown, Md., has taken the
trouble to calculate the results of
this "chain,". should none of the
links be broken. He finds that
Miss McClellan would, receive no
less than $607,884,790,579,425,570,
a sum so vast that it would per
haps buy all the homes in the
world and have enough over to
hire a . French cook. Mr. Bond,
who is a paper manufacturer, also
finds that all the paper mills in
the United States, making 9,000,-
000,000 pounds of paper a year,
would require 6,500,000 years to
make enough paper and envelopes
to write all the letters that Miss
McClellan requires, and it would
require 2,000,000 carscarryihg 50
tons each, to transport the paper.
Mr. Bond further .estimates that
each person in the world who can
write, even if there were 1,000,000,-
000 .who can do so, would have to
write 60,000,000 letters in order to
complete the full number. There-
fore, of a necessity, there will be a
break in Miss McCIellan'e chain.
She Cornered Him.
A Connecticut family being much
troubled about good servants and
on a visit to some friends in Ten
nessee, noticed one of chose negro
cooks (who are to be found here
and there,) whose demeanor was as
quiet as her work and person was
cleanly. They persuaded her to
enter their, service and in due time
she arrived in Connecticut. On
the following Sabbath, armed with
her church letter recommending
her to the kindly consideration of
any sister-church with whom she
might affiliate, she, after much sur
prise at finding herself the "only
darkey in sight forniles," to say
nothing of an African M. . church,
asked for permission to worship
with the "white folks" and put her
letter of good standing in with
them. She was told to come
around on the following evening
to the business meeting of the offi
cial board. r
' Arrived, she was given a seat
while her case was discussed, with
the result that the whole board, ex
cept the pastor was in favor of re
ceiving her into fellowship, hers
being an exceptional case and she
herself so evidently respectable that
there was no reason at all for say
ing otherwise.
The pastor, however, as presi
dent, vetoed it, saying : "No, breth
ren, I do not believe these people
are human, or will even go to
Heaven. More than that, I should
be unwilling to go there myself if
they also be admitted."
Here the woman interposed:
"Well, honey, if you doan't want
to go to Hebbin' wid niggers and
you go to hell, you'll find plenty of
niggers dar, too ! Philadelphia

Peoples who fight must eat and
as a consequence the exports of the
United States of breadstuffa and
provisions to South Africa are not
likely to be diminished in the event
of-war. As a matter of fact, ex
poits of foodstuffs will probably
increase; but there will be a cur
tailment of the profitable trade in
mining machinery, agricultural im
plements, building material, ve
hicles, etc. The, trade with that
section of the globe now amounts
to over $13,000,000 per year, and
gives promise of steady improve
ment, particularly so far as com
merce with ports on our Pacific
coast is concerned. ' .
Obedience of Orders.
The following dialogue, current
at the time, between one of Stone
wall Jackson's soldiers and the
provost guard, illustrates Jackson's
tact at eluding his enemy, and also
the obedience rendered and the
confidence reposed in him by his
troops: . :J
The orders read on dress parade
the evening before Jackson left the
valley to take part in the seven
days' fight around Richmond were,
that in case the army moved be
fore further orders, the answer
from every soldier to any and 'all
questions from those not connected
with the army shall be "I don't
know." On the march the provost
guard found a soldier in a cherry
tree helping himself, when the fol
lowing took place: -
"Who are you?" demanded the
guard.- . ;.:
"I don't know," replied the sol
dier. ; j I
"Where are you going?"
"i don't Know." which was no
doubt correct.
"Where have you been?
"I don't know."
"Where is your command?"
"I don't know."
"To what command do you be-
long?" ,
"I don't know.'V
"What are you doing in that
cherry tree?" '.! !
"I don't know." " j
"Are those good cherries you
are eating?"
"1 don't know." j
"Is there anything you do know ?''
"Yes." :
"What is it?" r
"Well, the last order I had from
old Stonewall was that I was not
to know anything until further or
ders, and gentlemen, I would see
you all damned before T will know
anything until Old Stonewall takes
that order off."
Dry Salt Baths.
A dry salt bath is said to tone
up the general system and reno
vate the complexion as if by magic.
"I never had anything to do me
so much good," said a lady who
has tried it. "I get that feeling: of
fatigue which oppresses me nearly
every summer. My physician ad
vised me to avoid tonics and to
try dry salt baths instead. j !
"I fill a large earthen jar with
the coarsest salt I can get, and add
enough water to this to make a
sort of thick paste, but not enough
to dissolve the mineral. Every
morning when I get up I take this
up in handfuls and rub it briskly
over my body. Next I jump into
a tub of clear, cold water, and take
a thorough but quick dousing.
This being done, ' I take a brisk
rub down with a Turkish towel. J i
- "The effect is delicious. It gives
one a sense of exhilaration. But
the best part of the dry salt bath
is not the feeling of freshness and
renewed life that it imparts, but
the soft, satiny texture of the
skin." .';. , ' ! -: ;
Jewish. Population of the United
States.
In the- American Jewish "Year
Book" for 1839-1900, its editor, Dr.
Cyrus Adler, makes a i4tentatiye
estimate" of the Jewish population
of the United States, with the re
sult of a total of 1,034,800. In the
list of States, New York leads with
400,000, followed by Pennsylyania
and Illinois, each with 95,000, Ohio
with 50,000, Maryland, California
and Missouri, 35",000 each. The
Jewish immigration for the first six
months of the present year was
14,372, of whom 1,463 landed in
Baltimore, where, up to July 1,
1899, 20,140 Hebrews disembarked
since 1891.
