For one person who could recite a verse from Tennyson. Browning, or Keats, a hundred could quote from the author of “The Village Blacksmith," “Hiaâ€" watha.” and "Evangeline." Here is a poem which perhaps is not so familiar as those named:â€" GUESS THE NUMBER. Tell some one to think of a number; then tell her to double it. Next, ask her to add to the resulting number ‘any number you choose; for example, tell her to add twenty. Then have her divide that sum by two and subtract the original number from the quotient. Then tell her that the remainder she has in mind is ten. The secret is this; the final number will be one-half the number you tell her to add. Since in the above instance it was twenty, the]! final number was ten. By suggesting that an even number be chosen to, start with you can always avoid comfl zilicating the problem with fractions.l «VV-.-.. u...“ u u..,;,\ LUVVCI, “may uuu in the towel and continue with the rites of his bath with all his things in his basket in front of me.

To the end l The opening up of the Porcupine , and Kirkland Lake gold camps marked lthe beginning of a new era in the his- ?tory.of gold mining in Ontario. which is now one of the importat gold pro- ducing countries of the world. Though the first productive operations at P01“; ,cuplne date only from 1909, and at] Kirkland Lake from 1913, these two camps had at the end of 1923 paid out in dividends over $34,000,000.

Canada’s total gold production in 1923 was a. little under $25,000,000, of; which about 90 per cent. was produced} as bullion.
