90. The square of 45 is 2025, if we halve this we get 20/25 and 20 plus 25 equals 45. Find two other numbers of four figures that produce the same peculiarity. 91. A mother of a family being asked how many children she had, replied: “The joint ages of my husband and myself are at present six times the united ages of our children; two years ago their united ages were ten times less than ours, and in six years hence our joint ages will be three times theirs.” How many children had she? WHERE THE CREEDS AGREE. The Mahometans, Christians and Jews, with different creeds, are all striving to reach the same place--Heaven. Now, we will endeavour to show, by figures, that it is possible for them all to accomplish their purpose. The figures 4, 5, 6, at the angles of the large triangle, represent respectively the above mentioned sects. They are very distant from each other, but we will induce them to meet half-way. Thus, the Mahometans and Jews meet at 10, the Mahometans and Christians at 9, and the Jews and Christians at 11; and by joining these totals to the opposite numbers we see they all meet at last in Heaven (15). It should be mentioned that any numbers whatever may be used to represent the sects, but the result will always be the same. [Illustration] “SHE” ONCE MORE. 92. The country spark again addressed the charming “she.” This time he wished to know her height. She replied, “My height (in inches) if divided by the product of its digits, gives as quotient 2, and the digits are inverted by adding 27.” “You have a bright look, my boy,” said the visitor at the school. “Yes, sir,” replied the candid youth; “that’s because I forgot to rinse the soap off my face this morning.” HIS LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT. 93. A father on his death-bed gave orders in his will that if his wife, who was then pregnant, brought forth a son, he should inherit two-thirds of his property, and the mother the remainder; but if she brought forth a daughter the latter should have only one-third, and the mother two-thirds. The widow, however, was delivered of twins,--a boy and a girl. What share ought each to have of the property left by the father, who had his life insured in the Australian Mutual Provident Society for £7,000. [Illustration] 94. Money lent at 6 per cent To those who choose to borrow; How long before I’m worth a pound If I lend a crown to-morrow? A KEEN EYE TO BUSINESS. Upon the death of the senior partner of an Australian firm a notice of the sad event was sent to, amongst others, a German lithographic establishment. The clerk in this German house, who was instructed to answer the communication, wrote the following letter of condolence:--
