A Secret Society Worth Joining:. Hurrah, mother! I belong lo a secret society.'' . Otis Adams came lioppiinto his mother's room, first on one foot ami then on the other, haugingon thedoor, upsetting a chair, and making as much noise as a nine-year-old boy. "Isn't it jolly, mother?a sure enoiiyh secret society V" "Donil the members make as much noise as this one?" asked his mother, with a pleasant smile; "because if they do, I hope the meeting will be held out iu the field. But what is the s^crpt Olis?" "Oho!" cried the little boy, "that would be telling, and we are not to tell anybody." "I don't think much of secrets that are not for mothers to know," said the lady. Otis looked ralher sober. v "Well mother," he said, "at the next meeting I'll move that all mothers be mude honorary members, and be told the secrets. But I'm to be on duty tonight, and I can't tell you what I'm going to do." His mother shook her head, and Otis began to be dreadfully afraid lie would miss his appointment. "Just try me this time, mother," he said earnestly. "It's something J know you would like me to do, and' Mr. Ross knows about it?indeed he gave us our society name and motto." "I think I could trust my boy," she said fondly, looking into Ins clear, truthful eyes, "even if Mr. JKoss did not know about it, but as nine-year-old judgments are not apt to he very ripe, 1 am better satisfied that your teacher should be in the secret. What is the name of your society ?" "The left hands," he replied proudly, "but don't ask our motto, for that would tell too much." The next morning before school-time Otis was seen flying wildly over the house hunting in vain for his satchel of books. During the morning Mrs. Adams put on her bonnet and coat and went to see a sick neighbor?a poor widow, whose sickness would have been starvation to her family, except for the kind charity of those around her. "Ah, Mrs. Poole," she said, enteriug the sick woman's room, "I see you have a nice supply of wood laid in for your kitchen stove." 1 "Yes'm," said the poor woman, "and I reckon you are at the bottom of it. ma'am." "I? No, indeed. What makes you think so?" "Don't you know how I got that wood, ma'am ?" "Not a word of it." "Well, about dark last night some boys came to my little yard as mum and quiet, ma'am, as if they had conic to steal, and piled up three barrowloads there where you see it. As they kept quiet we kept quiet, too ; but the children made sure they saw your Otis among them." "Very likely," said Otis' mother, remembering the "left handsbut she said nothing to the boy until that even* ^ * ing, when Berry Mitten, the blacksmith's son, brought Otis satchel to the door.

The sign of equality was first used in 1557 by a sharp mathematician, who substituted it to avoid repeating "equal to." The multiplication sign was obtained by changing the plus sign into the letter X. This was done because mul tiplication is but a shorter lorm 01 audition. Division was formerly indicated by placing the dividend above a horizontal line and the divisor below. 111 order to save spate iti printing, the dividend was placed to the left and the divisor to the rig-lit, with a simple dot in place of each. The sigu of subtraction was derived from the word "minus." The word was first contracted into m 11 s, with a horizontal line above to indicate the contraction, then at last the letters were omitted altogether, leaving the short line ?. The sign of addition was derived from the initial letter of the word "plus." I11 making the capital letter it was made more and more carelessly until the top part of the p was placed near the centre, hence the plus sign was finally reached.

Choice ok a Wikk.?A celebrated writer, in advising respecting the choice of a wife, expresses himself thus: "Always bear this in mind; that, if she is not frugal, if she is not what is called a good manager, if she does not pride herself on her knowledge of family a flairs and laying out her money to the best advantage, let her be ever so sweet-tempered, gracefully made, or elegantly accomplished, she is no wife for a man who has to make his way in the world.
