Mr. A. M. Ramsey, of De Leon, Texas,
was a sufferer from Catarrh in its
■worst form. Truly, his description of
his sufferings seem little short of mar-
▼rlous. Instead of seeking his couch,
glad for the night's coming, he went to
it with terror, realizing that another
long, weary, wakeful night and a
struggle to breathe was before him.

of
of
the
the
Educational circles aro in a pitch of
excitement over tbe introduction in the
public schools of Chicago of a system of
instruction in what may be termed
lightning arithmetic. Many of those
interested maiutain that the proposition
is impracticable on the theory that only
such persons as have natural arithmet-
ical genius con be able to use to advan-
tage any sort of rapid calculation. The
incident and the attending interest led
a representative to make souie inquiry
iuto whether or not there is any move-
ment to introduce the new system in
the schools of this city. Although it is
the subject of not a little discussion
among the teachers of the city, no steps
have as yet been taken.
One of the most interested in this city
is Mr. O. D. Hinkle, who is connected
with the M. C. Li 1 lor company. Mr.
Hinkle has been in the mercantile busi-
ness for a number of years, much of
which time has been spent in this city,
and has been regarded as one of the
most rapid calculators in the state. His
work has not been on the fancy order,
but straightforward use of rapid meth-
ods in practical business. Having seen
Mr. Hinkle add, subtract, divide and
multiply long lists of figures in billing
out goods of all sorts as fast us his as-
sistant could call them off to him, and
in 500 pages of ledger accounts having
made not one single mistake, The Dis-
patch was interested to know whether
tbe system mentioned in Chicago was
related in any way to that which he
used.
Mr. Hinkle was found most enthusi-
astically interested in the method, and
quickly remarked, upon being asked,
that the supposed new system was iden-
tically the same that he has been using
for 25 years. Indeed, Mr. Hinkle has
been for a number of years thinking se-
riously of making an effort to have
some of the schools take it up as a part
of their course of instruction. Speaking
of the new method, Mr. Hinkle said:
'Is the system sound? Is it practical?
Yes, most emphatically to both ques-
tions. It is natural computation, and it
is just as easy to teach a child or grown
person the relationship of numbers as it
is to teach them the relationship be-
tween persons. Use 1<>0 for the head of
the geological tree of the family of fig-
ures, and it is just ns ca.\V and natural
to teach a child that !3o per cent of any
amount is one-fourth of it, oecauso 25
is one-fourth of 100, as it is to touch
him that that old gentleman is his
grandfather because he is his mother's
father, or that 121.., per cent is one-
eighth of any amount, because it is one-
eighth of 100, as it is lo teach him that
the curly head over theie is his cousin
because he is his father's brother's child.
"I'll give you some examples in short
mental arithmetic for a change. Say
you buy 80 .yards of carpet at 02,^
cents; 03J* cents is five-eighths of 100;
five-eighths of 80 is $00. Easy number,
yes. Take an edd one. Say 83 yards at
02 12 cents; five-eighths of 80 is $00; add
three times 02 cents, which is $1.87 f8 ;
total, $01.87Say you Luy 167 yards
of dress goods at 83cents; 33}3 cents
is one-third of 100; one-third of 107 is
$55.66?;,'. Say you sell 350 pounds of
wool at 16t^ cents; lfi1^ is one-sixth of
100; one-sisth of 350 is $58.33?j. Say
you buy 100 bushels of potatoes at 50
cents, $50. Easy, isn't it? But if it were
99 bushels at 49 cents you couldn't do it
so easily, and yet it is 110 harder, if you
only knew it. Say 1)9 times 50 is $49.50,
less ouce 99, which is $48.51, and it is
110 mote difficult than 100 times 50.
* 'Almost every child can do multipli-
cation up to 12, but how many older
people can go higher than 13 easily?
Vet it is easy to go to 500 if he is a
quick adder. I think lay rule for squar-
ing large numbers is simpler than Mr.
^peers' way of doing it. For example,
start at 12. Twelve times 12 is 144. To
get the square of 13, add 13 and 12 to
square of 12; 13 and 12 make 25; 25
to 144 is 109. Square of 14—14 and 13
equals 27; add to 169, makes 190. To
square 15—15 and 14 equals 29, added
to 190 is 225. Tho square of 50 is 2,500.
To get squaro of 61—51 and 50 are
101, added to 2,500 equals 2,001. To
square 49—49 and 50 are 99; subtract
from 2,500 is 2,401. The square of 100
is 10,000. To get square of 99—99 and
100 are 199; subtract from 10,000,equals
9,810. To square 101—101 and 100 are
201, add to 10,000, equals 10,201.
"This may look hard to some, but
when one lias been drilled in multiply-
ing larger numbers mentally it is as
easy as falling off a house. Some will
complain that I have no right to gay
one, however, would dream oT
ing that to the Cymric branch
Celtic race we owe tbe origin
Arthurian legend.
We do not know whether it will be
one of the duties of the Welah university
to endeavor to revive the real, unadul-
terated Celtic literary traditions and to
purge and purify them from the accre-
tions due to foreign influence. We
should be dinpoaed to say that Celtic
scholarship will be more bcneflcisl and
more successfully employed in collect-
ing the indications of the influence ex-
ercised by the Celtic spirit over the
English language, English romance and
English ways of thought during tho
very period when it was supposed to
have been repressed, if not wholly de-
stroyed. Criticism, too, will have abun-
dant work on its hands in seeking to
separate the authentic from the spuri-
ous in tbe alleged writings of the earlier
Welsh bards.
In the first year of the oentnry there
was published the "Myvyrian Archeol-
ogy of Wales," a collection of the most
celebrated works in Welsh literature
from A. D. 500 to A. D. 1400, under
the editorship of Mr. Jones, Mr. Ed-
ward Williams, known locally as Ed-
ward of Glamorgan, and Dr. Owen
Pugh. But though 77 poems are there
ascribed to Taliesin, Mr. Stephens con
siders that 57 of them are demonstrably
spurious and that only 12 of them aro
probably genuine—that is to say, be-
long to the age to which they are attrib-
uted. Few scholars, however, would be
prepared to challenge the assertion of
Kenan that the sixth century was the
golden age of Cymric literature, though
its first epoch is usually taken to start
lrom still remoter times and to extend
to tbe date of the Norman conquest,
but it is not till the chronicle of Cara
doc, a somewhat dry record, recalling
in its general scheme the more f among
Anglo-Saxon chronicle. To the same pe-
riod belongs the chonicle of Geoffrey of
Monmouth. But, as though a Welshman
by birth, the Bishop of St. Asaph elect-
ed to write in Latin, we presume that
his labors, however interesting and im
portant, would not be claimed by tru«
Welshmen as a portion of Celtic litera
ture.—London Standard.

A CURIOUS OCCUPATION.
Hen Who Live In IHirk C »vernn In France

The cultivation of mushrooms is really
a matter of "ancient history" in France.
The people an- so fond of them and
find them so nutritious as well as profit-
able that very few Frenchmen are so
poor as to be obliged to do without their
beloved vegetable.
Notwithstanding the antiquity of the
mushroom it is, even in these days of
enlightenment, a mystery. Nobody,
save a few savants, knows much about
it, but everybody in France knows that
it can be made to grow in almost any
quantity desired.
The mushroom loves a place that is
cool, damp and dark, and it is for this
reason that the mushroom is almost in
variably cultivated in subterranean
cavations throughout France.
In the department of the Seine there
are over 3,000 of these caves, and
them live about 300 people—"chain
pignonists," who rarely see the day
light. Tho descent into these caves ia
by way of rope ladders.
One of the most interesting sight
around Paris is the subterranean exca
vations where this vegetable is raised.
Some of the caves are nothing more or
less than tunnels, while others are ex
hausted stone quarries, quite a number
of them extending under the streets of
the city. These caves have to be spe
cially prepared for their growth, and
great care and attention are givea
their keeping and perfect preservation
The temperature varies but little
summer, and only climatic influences
that is a very wot or very dry season
more than one of heat or cold, tends tc
affect the daily production of the teds.
As nearly as possible a temperature of
42 degrees F. is maintained. It
also considered of great importance that
the air currents move invariably in the
same direction. This should be from
north to south, and never more than
slightly appreciable. The niushioom
beds arc prepared by sprinkling a quitn
tity of dried and pulverized wild mush
rooms over a layer of earth heavily en
riclied; then, in alternate layers, th«
mushroom powder and earth are put to
gether until a height of about three feet
is attained. In about three mouths from
the time the bed is prepared they begin
to bear and when once started continu-
ously bring forth largo quantities euch
day, regulated more or less according tc
the atmosphere of the caves.—San Fran-
cisco Call.

that's just what I don't want to do—

CAKE AN OLD INSTITUTION.
The Ancient* Mailt and Ate It, but It
Was a Simple Affair.
The ancients made cake, but it wns
not the rich, highly seasoned and fla-
vored confection which we indulge in
nowadays. They had plain cakes madt
with flour and water, some of them
without a suspicion of sweet or flavor.
Some of them were not unlike out
plainest crackers and were often e:iten
as we eat bread.
Wedding cake was an institution
among them, as with us, but the ( akt
was a plain one and was broken above
the head of the bride as she went to hei
new home. This was a special feature
of Roman marriages 2,000 years ago.
The breaking of the cake was part of a
solemn ceremony. All of the cakes of
ancient history are plain and simple.
It is only as we come down to more
modern times that we hear of spicet
and fruits and all of the rich and lux-
urious ingredients in which present daj
cakemakers delight. In Queen Eliza-
beth's time spice cakes and buns were
eaten at weddings. From these tin
fashion and fancy grew for all sorts ol
elaborate and deliciously unwholesome
combinations until there seems to be a
perpetual struggle for something new
and more unusual to stir into the cake
of the period.
Very many persons think cake is un-
wholesome. Some sorts of cake may be,
but why a simple cake with a little
good fruit in it Bhould be specially in-
jurious is a puzzling question. Cake
made ^ith fresh, sweet butter and fresh
eggs can scarcely be a tax on the diges-
tive powers, and no other shortening
save good butter should ever be put intc
cake.—Philadelphia Press.
