An ingenious and inquiring niatbe-
matk-ian has Wen figuring on the di- j
meusions of heaven. The basis of his
calculation is the fifteenth verse of i
the tweiitv.first chapter of Pevelation: '

one-half of this for the court of heav

proceeds Us.n the hyitbesis that the

Uot.X' inhabitants, and that a gener
etiun lasts for thirty-three and one
tbird yestrs. which give a total num
ber of inhabitants every century of
Zf7&fX.y-f:'. He assumes that the
worid will stand 1 ... centurb.-s or
1 . year, which would give a total
of ....." inhabitants fiir this
period of time. He then reaches the
conclusion that if 1M. worlds of the
came size and duration and containing
the same numler of inhabitants,

sary. Whetber men have taken the

After a si'aration of twei-ty-rive
years J. A. Gilmau and hi wife are to

They were married tweutv-eight years
ago
New York was their home for a
while, and tlieii. two year after their
marriage. Oilman went to lioylestown
to work. He disapieared. Four years'
search brought no light as to h.s
wherealKiuts. After that time a letter
came to his wife which said that her
husband bad died In an asylum for the
insane.
Mrs. Oilman married Henry Iiaubert
Emaus. in Iehigh County. Petinsyi-

them, and they lived there until a few
days ago. Then Oilman, long forgot
ten, rvapieared. Mrs. Itaubert recog
n.zed him and I -egged bim to go away
and let ber die in peace lneath the
roof of ber second husband's home.
Oilman, unlike the Enoch Arden of
fiction, refused. He said she was still
bis wife, and insisted uion her leaving
Iiaubert and going with him. The
law was with him. and tlie woman
she is r.i parted sorrowfully from the
man she had loved for twenty-five
years and made ready to come to Phil

strange. He really was In an asylum.

Camden. He was discharged then, but
his mind was a blank until a few years

"I have served your majesty falthfsi
ly for forty-two years, five mouths til
six days." wrote the petitioner, 'aai
be deprived of my official pants in tsf
old age is a great hardship, that r
inijierinl majesty will not inflict uf
an old soldier, I am sure. When I
Iensioiied off, the court decided to 18
me retain my cap. but the pants. It sail
must be restored to the state. HsJ
only this one pair of pants. I refused t
accede to the demand, and in coo
quence am threatened with ItnprU

The emperor made haste to telegrt;
