No. 630. —Charade.
If my first is my second, 'tis sure to be fleet,
If my second’s my first, it is not fit to eat;
And what is my whole will depend upon whether
My second anti first you fit rightly together
If my second comes first, ’tis an animal; but
If my second comes second, why then it is nut
So if it’s an animal, then you may back it;
But supposing it isn't, I leave you to crack it

A sentence in poetry is here written, the
letters forming which are in close order.
You may go up or go down; you may move
backward or forward, but you must never go
in a slanting or diagonal direction—that is,
you are not allowed to pass from letter to let
ter through the coruer of a square, but al
ways through one of the sides. The object is
to find the first letter and then unravel the
whole. The last word, denoted by the star,
must be supplied.
How to Tell a Person's Age.
Axnong many ingenious schemes for telling
THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIS f.
a person's age'this is one or the easiest and
best. Let the person whose age is to be dis
covered do the figuring. Suppose, for ex
ample, if it is a girl, that her age is 15 and
that she was born in August.
Let her put down the number of the mouth
in which she was born and proceed as follows:
Number of month. 8
Multiply by 2 11l
Add 5 21
Multiply by 50 1,050
Then add her age, 15 1,005
Then subtract 305, leaving TOO
Then add 115 815
She then announces the result, 815, where
upon she may be informed that her age is 15
and August, or the eighth mouth, is the
month of her birth.
The two figures to the right in the result
will always indicate the age and the remain
ing figure or figures the mouth the birthday
comes in.
This rule never fails for all ages up to 100.
For ages under 10 a cipher will appear pre
fixed in the result, but no accouut is taken of
this.
Timely Information.
What would we do without poets? The
latest piece of information in verse begins:
“The golden rod is yellow.” How horrible it
would have been had the public been obliged
to remain under the hallucination that the
golden rod was scarlet.
