PUBLISHED IN THE INTEREST OF RELIGION,EDUCATION, LITER A 7 URE AND GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. £ YOL. XX. Last week’s North Geor gian contained the following : A friend asks us to multi ply $5 by $5. We do so and announce the result as $25. Now multiply 500 cents, give give the answer in cents, pure and simple, not as fractional parts of a dollar. We do and am surprised to see the figures climb up to 250,000 cents, which is $2,500. As $5 and 500 cents are equivalent the result is puzzling. It cannot bo urged that decimal marks should be used. A cent, as such, is as distinct a unit as a dollar, and as the result is to be announced in cents tne decimal cannot be pleaded in extenuation of the rather sur prising result, But there is clearly something waong. Can any reader explain it? Miss Maud Hughes, a pu pil in Cnmming public school sends us the following solu tion ; ,In the beginning he starts off \Yi?lff a Throng fetatemerft :*t is impossible to multiply dolv lars by dollars. The multiplier must always be an abstract' number and $5 is not an ab stract number. Yog can take $5 five times and get $25 for your product; but your mul tiplier is five, an abstract num ber, not $5. You cantt mul tiply 500 cents by 500 cents, but you can take 500 cents five hundred times and get 2 ceftts,which is $2,500; but vohr multiplier is 500, an Ppc+r-et number. In the first case your multi plier is five end in the second it s five hundred, v Inch is one hundred times greater than the first. Therefore the pro duct is one hundred times as great. This explains the difference in the two products. It is reported that W. C. Westbrook w ; ll likely make the race for representative in the coming primary. It has been quite a while since the 14th district has had a repre sentative, and Mr. Westbrook would likely run well. There are two ways of get ting into a newspaper —“pur- chasing an interest and pur chasing an interview.’’ There is still another way —pulling the wool over an editoi’s eyes and getting in for nothing. This is a very popular form of entry. fflje Nfictl) ©corgift u. The “big head’’ is a popu lar way of expressing a com mon and very frequent ail ment. It arises from various sources but the real founda tion is a lack of sense. A lit tle money develops it in some people; a few good clothes gives it to others; a little of fice, where a chance is given to exercise a little authority, is often the cause of it while others get it having a little better jobthan their associates. The truth is no sensible per son gets the “big head.” The one who becomes stuck up and stiff-necked from sources of any kind, are weak in-the intellectual calibre. The rural routes were es tablished for the benefit of ru ral homes, or in other words the farmers. They have prov en a greater benefit and bless ing to the farmers than was anticipated by the most san guine. A farmer who has once enjoyed the advantages of the rural mffif service would hard- ly' to without ic. *Hi & not cowie to/ the*, farmer, hpwever, until he had many times earned it. For a quarter of a century the mail has been carried to the city, not once, but many times each day. Finally the big heart of Uncle Sam has reached out to the men who feed the world. Ball Game.

We need men with courage to refuse to sign a petition of an unworthy applicant for office, and courage to do any thing which makes a majority to exclaim, “He is very eccentric.’’ Some men will face the bayonet sooner than a laugh, and cares less for a blow than a word of con tempt. It is sad to think how many have been led into intem perate and profligate habits by the fear of their comr ‘des laughingat their conscientious scruples.
