Notations to problems: 1--Any point of the rod describes the curve of tut ellipse as it moves up the cltinlncj* betm-een two fixed planes at right an­ gles to each other; hence we have the square of 4. multiplied by 2, equals 32; the cube root of 32 if 8.1748 fl. Also the sqimre of 2 multiplied by 4 equals 16; the cube root of 16 is 2.519S ft.; tlie square root of the sum Of the squares of 3.1748 and 2.5198 equals S.323S feet, equals length of rod. J. W, .1. 2--An extension of 6 feet on the •mail end of the board with the same slant would ead in a point, and make one inure square foot, or 9 sq. ft. in all. As the areas of similar triangles are proportional to their like sides, we have the following proportion: 9 ft. : oft! : : (18)2 ; ( )2 18 squared equals 324; multiplied by 6 equals 1620; divided by 9 equals 180. The square root of 180 equals 13.41, and 18 ft. minus 13.41 ft. equals 4.59 ft., equals distance from the broader end. 3. A can do a piece of work in <40 days, B. in 60 days.

A great out­ lay ot patience must have been made by all the counted as well as 4be count­ ers. drsKi Rauu .Asrei • v Partiality in school used to be con­ sidered a crime,and a teaciier accused, even, of such a misdemeanor, was looked upon with distrust by the com* in unity in general. But experience lias convinced people that a teacher Ehould have judgment, and use it, and not have a set of Inflexible rules with a certain penalty for a violation at­ tached to each. Circumstances and previous conduct should he considered in every case of discipline, but reason and not feelings should decide. llow many oi uur readers can pro­ nounce correctly all the words of the following: *'A sacrilegious son of Belial, who suilered from bronchitis, having ex­ hausted his finances, in order to make good the deficit, resolved to ally him­ self to a comely, lenient and docile young lady of the Malay or Caucasian race. He accordingly" purchased a calliope and coral necklace of a chame­ leon hue, and securing a suit of rooms at a principal hotel, lie engaged the head waiter as his coadjutor. He then dispatched a letter of tiie most unex­ ceptional calligraphy extant, inviting the young lady to a matinee. Hhe re­ volted at the idea, refused to consider herself sacriticabte to his desires, and sent a polite Mote of refusal, on receiv­ ing whi'Mi he procured acarbiue and a bowie-knife,said that he would not now forge fetters hymeneal with the queen, went to an isolated spot, sev­ ered his jugular vein, and discharged the contents of his carbine into his abdomen.
