When they first entered Secretory fsogun thought they were phllurtthrop- Istx looking for a place to throw some nf their surplus wealth.

They smiled again when he asked whethf or not any races were going on In * \v Orleans.

The grounds for this startling assertion are as follows: “The Bible and Testument together, in the English language, are said to contain 3.566,4X0 letters. The number of letters In the Lord's Prayer, as writ, ten, ending In the sentence ’deliver us from evil,’ is 223, whence, as 3,566,480 divided by 223 is equal to 15,922, it appears that the Bible and Testament together contain the same number of letters as the Lord’s Prayer, written 16,000 times; If. then, the prayer were written In one sixteen-thousandth of an Inch, the Bible and Testament, 111 writ ing of the same size, would be con tained by one square Inch, but ns ono three hundred and nfty-slx-thousandth of an Inch Is 1-22 part of 1-16,922 of an inch, it follows that the Bible and Testament, in writing of that size, would occupy less space than 1-22 of u square Inch.” And yet, minute as are the letters written by this machine, they are char acterized by a clearness and precision of form which proves that the moving parts of the machine, while possessing the utmost* delkaey of freedom, are absolutely destitute of shake, a union of requisites very dillieult of fultlllment, but quite indispensable to the satlsfac. tory performance of the apparatus.

The fit is snug over the hips—the approved effect— and the folds fall generous and undulating about the feet.

Glove-fitting jersey top. Elastic waistband. Produces new bell-shaped figure. Encircled at the base by a deep flaring flounce, in a profusion of new styles.
