Then she opened wide the door--and found a sawed-off boy who wanted to know if she didn't want some fresh roasted peanuts. DENTIST.--Dr. W. E.

OLD maids very often do not like to Ml their age, but you can find it out by the following instructions, letting the lady do the figuring: Tell her to put down the number of the month in which she was born, than to multiply it by 2, then to add 5, then multiply it by 50. then to add her age, then to subtract 365, then to add 115, then tell her to tell you the amount she has left. The two figures at the right wiii tell you her age and the re­ mainder the month of her birth. For example, the amount is 822, she is 22 years old and was born in the eighth month. Try it.
