BEGINNING AT HOME, Jasper: 1 DERSTOOD THAT YOU MAD TURNED OVER A NEW LEAP, AND WERE EVEN GOING TO LOVE YOUR ENEMIES; RUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU LOVE NO ONE BUT YOURSELP. “WELL, 1 AM 9 OWN WoRST ENEMY.” Modern Examples. A Bs total distance tra ed by a Broadway car in 1 trip is 7 miles and 3 furlongs, and there is a corner at the end of every 260 feet. On every corner is a would-be passenger who waves, The motorman and conductor combined are sensitized to 1 wave 2,000. How many times will the car stop in 1 trip? The total resistance of a New York Harbor excursion boat is 2 pounds to the square inch, with a specific gravity of .027 and a carrying capacity of 2,000. For every year older it grows, its capacity increases in relation to its specific gravity by 1-1270 of a unit. When it is 5 years old, what will be its total resistan: At the beginning of a honeymoon, a groom kisses a bride on an average of every 5 minutes out of a total of 24 hours on the first day. On the second day he kisses her on an average of 5 333 minutes and 18 seconds. Supposing this rate ot decrease is maintained, there will come a period when he kisses her 2 times in an average of 56 hours. Then how many years, months, weeks and days will they have been married? A New York newspaper contains in 1 issue 268 different subjects. 2-3rds of these are devoted to lies, 2-3rds of what remains are devoted to mur- ders and scandals, and 2-3rds of what still remains are devoted to irrelevant gossip. 1-3rd of what is left is items of news. How many articles are there still unaccounted for? Nursery Rhymes for New Yorkers. (Apropos of recent happenings and a certain ‘event In November.) HERE was a man in our town, And he was wondrous wise, For when he got upon the force He shut tight both his eyes. He never saw a thing amiss, He never caught a thief, So Tammany rewarded him By making him a chief. Sing song of sixpence, a pool-room full of crooks, Four-and-twenty gamblers in Tammany’s good books. When the place is raided, not a crook is caught— A singular coincidence, which gives one food for thought. Baa, baa, black sheep, can you pay your toll? If s0, yield it up—three bags full. One for the wardman, one for the Boss, One forthe tiger, who shields you from Moss. Hey, diddle diddle! I'm up to my middle In dirt wherever I go. Tammany laughs to see such sport, And the braves make away with the aough.
