Harper's Razar. Number In Karly Days. In a paper read before the Thllo'ogl- cal Society of the University of Michi gan recently, Prof. Ceorge Hempl commented upon the forerunners of our present system of numeration. Some two years ago, In seeking the origin of the Hunlc letters (!he first let ters used by the (Jer manic races), I'rof. Hempl discovered the primitive (iermanle numeral notations. This threw new light upon tbe early CJer- manic numeral system, as well as upon the primitive Indo European numerical system and upon the development of tbe Greek alphabet and the Greek nu merical notation. The primitive Indo-European numer ical system was a mixture of the deci mal and the sexagesimal. The first large number was the "shock" that Is, sixty and the next large number wss the "bund," or "hundred," that Is 120. Between 00 and 110 there were no numbers like our 70, etc., 70 being "a shock and 10," and 80 being "a shock and 20." The Introduction of our present numbers between 00 and 120 arose out of the Introduction of the decimal bund or hundred, that Is, 100, In distinction from which tbe old hun dred (120) wss called the duodecimal hundred, or the "greet hundred," which Is still used In Iceland and parts of England. Mistook the Motive. An old man was sitting In the street-car. In tbe aisle near him stood a young woman, lie made a move ment to rise, says tbo Detroit News, as If to give her bis seat. "Never mind, sir," said the young women, Imperatively, "Just keep your sest" Hhe smiled pstronlrlngly on the old man, Mho stared aud looked dnscd. After two blocks more be again 'at tempted to rise, but the young wom an pushed him back, explaining po litely, "I've stood so long now I don't mind It. I'lease keep your seat." "I say, young lady," cried the old man In shrill Irritation, "I want to git off 1 You've made me go half a mile past my street already." Hearing a Fly W alk. It Is said that a fly makes O0 strokes per second wltu its wings, and it has been proven that by the use of the microphone you can hear a fly walk. Lockjaw, or tetanus. Is caused by the development In tbe body of the tetanus bacillus, a germ living In tbe soil In many places, especially In city streets, round barns and stables and In pastures. This bacillus does not grow readily when exposed to the air, so there Is usually little danger of lockjaw following large wounds. The danger lies In tbe punctured wounds, the ragged wounds, and often also the seemingly trivial wounds which Leal rapidly, and so seal up tbe tetanus germ away from tbe air; there it rind the conditions moxt favorable to Its development and tbe manufacture of the nerve polaon which causes tho symptoms of tbls terrible disease. Such being the case, the treatment of little wounds from pistols, torpedoes and crackers Is to make them bigger. Tbis requires some courage on tbe part of the doctor, and tbe more cour age the smaller and apparently more Insignificant Is the wound, and par ents ought not to Increase bis trial by pleading against tbe necessity of cut ting deeply into the wound, opening It widely and washing it out thoroughly with antiseptic solutions. It Is only In tbls way that the danger of lockjaw can be reduced to a minimum, and even tbls In exceptional cases does not prevent the diseaae. The modern treatment for this dis ease Is the Injection of tetanus anti toxin. Even this may fall If Injected simply under tbe skin or into the mus cles, and the antitoxin has occasion ally been Injected into the sheath cov ering the spinal cord, or even beneath tbe membranes of tbe brain, so that It may the more directly reach the nerve centers chiefly affected by the poison. WAS NEVER ABSENT OH TARDY. KFLLIE J, M'lIlLLin. . Tbe proudest day In the life of Nellie J. Mcillllln of Kushvllle, Ind., was when the County Board of Education presented her with a gold medal for punctual school attendance. Miss Mc- Mlllln Is 16 and has attended school since she was 5, and In all that time she was never absent or tardy. Tbe last four years she has lived in the country, which made punctual attend ance a serious matter, but ber record la unbroken. She has graduated now. English Bard Was Right Dramatic critics aud comments tora bare long been puszled to account for the fact that Shakespeare placed tba scene of "Hamlet" at Elalnore, In the Island of Zealand, whereas tbe Dan ish prince lived and died In Jutland. But Just recently tbe municipal au thorities at Elsinore, or Helslngor, have discovered In their archives that an English company wss acting in their town in 1587 or 1588, and among the names of the actors are several of those who were acting with Shake speare In London In 158. Obviously, these actors must have talked about their adventures in Den mark, and ao Shakespeare became well acquainted with Elsinore, aud, when be wrote "Hamlet" naturally placed the scene In a place which he knew by description rather than In an Island of which he knew nothing. Tbe poet waa bo great stickler for accuracy in geographical matters and tbls visit of tbe English actora plausibly explains the reason why tbe tragedy of "Ham let" wss placed In Zealand and not In Jutland. Cure for Indigestion. Scientific Investigation bas dlscov ered that that troublesome disease. dyspepsia, can be cured by short in tervala of exposure to intense cold, followed by bearty eating. M. Ilaoul Plctet, a Swiss gentleman, was ex pertmentlng with a low temperature, He bad produced an artificial temper ature In a sort of pit which caused the thermometer to sink to 1-10 or 150 de grees below sero. Among other ex periments lie exposea uimseir ror a brief Interval to this temperature by lowering himself Into the pit. On emerging be found himself Intensely hungry and ate freely. The proceaa waa repeated several times, and aa a result be found himself cured of chron ic Indigestion, from which be bad Buf fered for years. Wlllla'a UeOnlilon.
