MATHEMATICAL SIGNS.
The Prcu tr Which the FnmlllM
Chnrnctssrs Were Krolred.
The sign of addition Is derived from
tho initial letter of the word "plus." In
making tho capital letter It wan mado
more nnd moro carelessly until tho top
part of the "p" was placed near tho
center; hence tho plus sign was flunlly
mitched.
Tho sign of subtraction was derived
from the word "minus." The word vn
first contracted Into mus, with a hori
zontal lino above to liullcnto the con
traction, which was a printer's freak
thnt may be found In almost any hook
bearing n dnto earlier than tho begin
ning of the eighteenth century. After
tho lapso of a long period of time tho
letters were omitted altogether, leav
ing only the short lino so well known
to all.
The multiplication sign was obtained
by changing tho plus sign Into a char
acter resembling the letter x. This was
done simply because multiplication Is
ill. nm .1 .1 I , I ....
Division was formerly Indicated by
placing tho dividend nbovo a horizontal
lino and tho divisor below. In order to
save spaco lu printing, tho dividend
was placed to tho left and tho divisor
to the right, with a simple dot in place
of each.
The radlcnl sign was derived from
tho lultlal letter of tho word "radix."
The sign of equality Is said to havo
first been used In the year 1507 by &
sharp mathematician, who adopted It
as a substitute for tho words "equal
to."

WHERE IT PAYS TO TRADE
Ther Were Flr.t Hard In London la
the Seventeenth Century.
In a letter dated April 1, 1030, Mr.
Garrard, writing to tho Earl of Straf
ford, snys; "Here is one Captain Bally,
lie hath been a sea captain, but now
lives In Loudon, where lie tries experi
ments. He hath erected according to
his ability ionic four hackney conches,
put his men In a livery and appointed
them to stand at the Maypole lu tho
Strand, giving them Instructions at
what rate to carry men into several
parts of the town, where all day they
may be had.
"Other hrckney men seeing this way,
they Uncled to the sumo place nnd per
formed thou' Journeys at tho same rate,
so that sometimes there nro twenty of
them together, which dlspcrso up and
down."
Citizen ahopkeepcra bitterly com
plained of this, saying:
"Formerly when ladles and gentle
men walked In tho streets there was a
chance ot customers, hut now they
whisk past lu the coaches before our
apprentices have tlmo to cry out,
'What d'jv lack?' "
Tho wonl cab, a contraction of cabri
olet, was not used until 1823.
THE WORD PICNIC.
Many Thciirle. nn to It. Origin,
Which ! Uneertnln.
The derivation of tho word picnic
Is uuectalu. In London Notes mid
Queries of IS53 attempts were mado
to trace Its origin.
Ono correspondent snys: "Under a.
French form the word nppenrs In a
speech of Robespierre, 'Cost lei qu'II
dolt m'amiHcr, ot nou duns les piques
tilqucs.' An curlier Instance occurs In
ono of Lord Chesterfield's letters, dated
October, 1748."
Another writer of tho snmo date tries
to trace the word through Franco Into
Italy, Stinting with the assumptlou
that plquL-ulqiiQ In French Implies a 1
party at which each guest provides
some particular dish or performs some
special duty, ho finds the Italian ex
pressions ulcchla (duty) and plccola (a
trifling wirvlce), uud from theso ha
coins plwola nlcchlu (picnic.)
A Fn-neh encyclopedia, 1843, has It
1 that the word U compounded of tho
I simple English pick (to choose) and
ulck (In the nick of time, on tho spur
of tho moment). In Franco tho term
Is also used for Indoor picnics.
Triuili in Love Letter.,
ItefcrriuK to love letters, who Indeed
does not write rubbish wheu he writes
a love letter? Tho greatest, gentusen
have proved themselves to bo tempo
rarily the merest simpletons when they
correspond with tho fair ones whom
they profess to adore, llyron, who was
a very astute as well as a very elo
quent poet, wob thoroughly aware of
this fact. A master stroke of determi
nation not to becomp ridiculous lu love
letter writing wsb made by the Scotch
writer to the signet, who always eon.
eluded his communications with,
"Yours, dearest madam, without preju
dice." But we cannot all of us be

A Wonderful Hprln.
An Arkansas farmer, describing to a
tourist some of the wonderful proper
ties of the mineral springs of that
state, said, "Do you see that sprit)
over there, stranger)" lie Bald that be
did, whereupon tho farmer added:
"Well, that's an Iron spring, that Is,
and It's so mighty powerful that the
farmers' horses about here that drink
the water of It nover have to bo shod.
The shoes Just grow ou their feet
nat'rally."
No Loncrer, '
A soft answer turnoth away wrath.
"Sir," wrote an angry subscriber to a
provincial Journal, "I don't want your
paper any longer." To which tba
editor replied, "I wouldn't make It auy
longer If you did." London CI lobe.
