Sums Over Which Egyptian Children
Puzzled Their Brains
Probably he oldest copy book for
home lessons In arithmetic was un
earthed In Egypt The papyrus which
was found In excellent condition dates
from the period alKiut 1700 H C that
Is about 100 years before the time of
Moses or almost 000 years ago it
proves that the Egyptians had a thor
ough knowledge of elementary mathe
matics almost to he extent of our
own The papyrus has u long heading
Direction how to attain the knowl
edge of all dark things etc Numer
ous examples show that their principal
operations with entire units and frac
tions were made by means of addition
and multiplication Subtractions ami
divisions were not known in their
present form but correct results were
obtained nevertheless
Equations are also found In the
papyrus Among the examples given
is this one Ten measures of barley are
to be divided among ten persons in
such a manner that each subsequent
person receives one eighth of a meas
ure less than the one before him An
other example given Is There are sev
en men each one has seven cats each
cat has eaten seven mice each mouse
has iten seven grains of barley Each
givlr of barley would if cultivated
have yielded seven measures of barley
How much barley has been lost in that
way The papyrus also contains cal
culations of area the calculation of the
area of a circle and its transformation
into a square and finally calculations
of the cubic measurements of pyra

SHORT INTERVIEW
A Woman Reporters Vicit to Robert
Louis Stevenson
A number of years ago a somewhat
sensational journalist was making a
Hying trip around the world for her
newspaper She stopped in San Fran
cisco Among other assignments for
her brief stay there was a visit to
Robert Louis Stevenson who was then
living iu that city
Calling at his home she was told
that he was too ill to see any one that
daj She wrote him an appealing little
note on the back of her card explain
ing tliather schedule would not permit
her to remain over to see him later
and that as an interview with him
was one of the chief objects of break
ing her journey in California she beg
ged for at least two minutes conversa
tion
Permission was granted for her to
ascend to his room and when she saw
him propped up in bed with pillows
looking pitifully white and frail she
was much shocked and regretted her
persistence For once her usual as
surance deserted her and she stood
silent and shy before the writer
Stevenson too seemed at a loss and
after a moment or two of embarrassed
silence during which his hands were
fumbling beneath the counterpane he
drew forth an unfinished woolen stock
ing and beginning feverishly to push
the steel needles in and out he asked
Do you knit
No answered the reporter and
glancing at the mantel clock she real
ized with chagrin that the interview
was ended Youths Companion
Dog Jealousy
There is a strong trait of jealousy In
a dogs nature A story is told of a
Birmingham dog that had been a great
pet in the family until the baby came
There was suspicion that he was jeal
ous but he could not be detected in
any disrespect to the newcomer It
always happened however that when
the dog was left with the baby the
baby began to cry No signs of trouble
were ever to be seen upon entering the
room and the dog was always found
sleeping peacefully before the fire
Finally one day a peep through the
keyhole disclosed the canine rubbing
his cold wet nose up and down the
babys back Ralph Neville in Outing

A WONDERFUL CREATURE
Born of a Snowdrift Crossed With a
Little Brown Hare
Nature has tried many means of sav
hig her own from the snow death
Some like the woodchuck she puts to
sleep till the snown shall be over
Others she teaches to store up food
and to hide So she deals with the
wood mouse To still others as the
moose she furnishes stilts The last
means she employs Is snowshoes
Tills the simplest most scientific and
best is the equipment of the snow
shoe rabbit the wabasso of Hiawatha
a wonderful creature born of a snow
drift crossed Avith a little brown hare
The moose Is like a wading bird of
the shore that lias stilts and can wade
well for a space but that soon readies
the limit beyond which it Is no better
off than a land bird But the snow
shoe is like the swimmer it skims
over the surface where it will not car
ing if there be one or a thousand feet
of the element below it In this lies
Its strength
Wabasso has another name the vary
ing hare because it varies in color
witii the season and the seasons in all
its proper country are of two colors
brown for six months white for six
So all summer long from mid April
to mid October the northern hare is
a little brown rabbit
Then conies the snowy cold The
brown coat is quickly shed a new
white coat appears the snowshoe
grows fuller and the little brown hare
has become a white hare the snow
shoe hare of the woods Everybodys

SQUIRREL WAYS
Th5 Little Animals Are Great Actors
on a Rail Fence
It is the furry gray squirrel that I
love to watch as he makes his way
along the fence says a writer iu For
est and Stream He Is fond of sitting
on the top rail and surveying his little
world but if anything disturbs him it
is worth a long tramp to watch him
as he zigzags back and forth follow
ing the riders toward his home tree
If not suspicious however the gray
skips along from rail to rail turning
back now and then to jump down and
examine something on lower rails or
on the ground Often it Is a nut that
he thinks he buried in a certain clump
of grass in a fence corner Frequently
he is mistaken in the exact place but
he finds it farther on and comes back
to the rider to eat it Watch him close
ly when he finally sees you blocking
his way
He looks at you with his head tured
sideways and you wonder that he
shows no surprise and cannot make out
whether he knew you were there all
the time or Is only blulling Now he
turns back and traverses a few rails
gets down on the next one and makes
a pretense of searching for something
there comes back to the rider again
and feigns perfect composure slips
down to the ground while as he seems
to think you have been thrown off
your guard and then makes his way
now slowly now like a streak to th
shelter of the woods just as though
you did not sabe squirrel ways
Hard on Schoolmasters
It is a notorious fact that schoolmas
ters were once regarded as a servile
class and treated accordingly Their
remuneration was ridiculously small
often amounting only to the right of
living from house to house But It is
doubtful if a more peculiar method of
paying schoolmasters was ever devised
than that which prevailed in certain
English counties notably Cumberland
during the early eighteenth century
Just before the beginning of Lent the
boys would arrange to hold a cock
fight and each boy would makea pay
ment to the master for the privilege
The cock penny was regarded a le
gitimate item in the masters income

A Federal Lieutenant Who Was Worse

During the civil war the commander
of a marching detachment looked along

cheeks My man dont be a baby

shame the renegade Roo hoo Wisht

was the answer that showed him the
case was hopeless
That is less humanly amusing than
the answer of a guileless lieutenant
who with half a company had been
captured and paroled by the ubiquitous
John Morgan Upon reaching Federal
territory the lieutenant made haste to
report to tho nearest post commander
who after duly welcoming the new
comer said Tell me how all this
