Perhaps It was a breath of sweet clover across the fields which caused him to think of love, thing vaguely sweet and comforting, which had passed hiiu by. There was not much chance now that love would come to him to stay, bually absorbed and unapproachable.

There are men that ws dislike at sight; they have s streak of mean ness or brutality or something that we recognise Instinctively; the best we can do with them is to treat them with civility. But there are not many such ; tha vast majority of men have rood In them and are entitled to be treated aa brother men, writes "Mr. Oosllngton" In the New York Herald. 1 have ne patience with the speak ers 1 bear talking about protecting the rights of our humblest fellow citi sens. at A There are no humble fellow dtisens ; no man feels humble In his heart and every man resents being described er' being considered as hum ble. Happily, we hear less of this humble business than we once did. I feel that I have much yet to learn ; but I leng since discovered that likes to be treated like a man. He re sents any air of superiority or patron age or condescension from anybody. Foot though he may be and lacking In what Is called an education, he may yet have In full measure the cardinal virtues of self-respect and decency ; he may truly be as good as anybody. And long ago I began to discover In men high and low qualities most un looked for. You never can tell what any man has In his heart. The street sweeper Is as likely to dream drenms as the banker. The poor man may be by na ture aa refined as the rich man ; and barring the few men Instinctively bru tal, who may be high or who may be low, all men are entitled to he met as men and to be treated with cour tesy; not merely with kindness, but with courtesy, which ail then are pleased to receive and the lack of which all men resent. Of this we may bo sure, that as we go through life we got what we give. It a mao EARLY METHOD OF COUNTING System in Us« Up to Some Six Con turioi Ago Was Primitive to'a Oegroo. Multiplication, addition, subtraction and division—common grades of achoola today—were problems that atumped the greet majority of people up until when numbers ran Inte three figures or more the good peassnts were stumped. Multiplication waa done on the fingers—that Is, what was done. When the sums goi to be larger than five times five, the corner saloon was resorted to. a large checker board, boards grew to be the sign of the saloon. When counting by hand, the counter let the open hand represent the num ber five; -the hand with one finger closed, alx ; with two fingers closed, seven ; with three fingers closed, eight, and four flagers closed, nine. To mul tiply, he used one hand to represent the multiplier, and the other the sum to be multiplied. The system of counting on checker hoards was something similar to the system of counting ou a Chinese abacus or counting hoard. si x centuries ago. Then Here the counter used Checker Ancient Egyptian Grandtur. Of all conquests of Alexander the Great. Egypt enjoyed the earliest and most lasting prosperity.

He soon acquired the reputation of equity and gentleness by which he gained the fa vor of the people and the confidence of other kings. About 284 B. C. Egypt became the chief seat of the sciences of Greece during the reign of Ptolemy Phlladelphua. The grandeur displayed by this prince in architecture became proverbial. He and his song were pat terns of wise and virtuous monarcha. But the later Ptolemies did not con form themselves to such models. Doga' Fast for Lunch.
