most popular numbers.
Seven and Thirteen Are Fixed TJpoD
in the Minds of the Greater
Number of Men.
“Ask a man to pick out some num
ber between one and ten, and you can
tell him nine times out of ten what
number he ha3 selected, though his se
lection is made mentally,” said a man
who, according to the New Orleans
Times-Democr^t, i3 fond of the old
things, “and when you come to think
of it, the task of naming the correct
number is not a difficult one. In the
course of an hour the other day 1
asked ten men to think of a certain
number—any number between one und
ten—and I would tell them wbat num
ber they had fixid their mind on
In nine cases out of ten I was correct,
missing it only once. The minds oi
nine of the persons selected the num
ber seven, and one of them selected
nine. It i3 not difficult to understand
why the mind should run to the num
ber seven. Even in the case of the
man who fixed his mind on the num
ber nine, he told me wffien it was ail
over that his mind' had first run to
seven, but he quickly changed to nine
without knowing just why it was that
he changed. Seven is the most prom
inent figure between one and ten. It
to the most popular number in the line,
and is assoaiated with more things
than any other number, and it is quits
reasonable that the mind should light
on seven. I made another test the
other day with five persons, asking each
of them to write some number between
one and ten, and give it to a sixth per
son. When the slip3 had been handed
to the sixth man I said: ‘Seven is the
number on each of the slips.’
“ ‘Correct,’’ said the man to whom
they had been handed, and the five
men were a bit bewildered for the
moment by the fact that they had all
hit upon the same number, and that I
was able to tell what the number was.
It would be quite aa easy to name a
number between 10 and 20, though I
have made no tests alone this line. I
dare say that 13 would be the first
number to flash In the mind, simply
because it is the most talked of, and
the only number between 10 and 20
that ha3 the widest association. So
you can tell there is no trick about it,
and it doesn't require any knowledge
of the occult philosophies.’’
EXTENDING BOUNDARIES.
Some of Our Larger Cities Have An
nexed Ground Far Into Adja
cent Farm Lands.
According to a recently issued censu*
bulletin, the real rank of cities is not al
ways indicated by the order in which
they stand in the tables of population.
Some great centers have a considerable
part of their massed population lying
outside the municipal boundaries. Bos
ton is a good example; about 1 200,000
people live in sight of the state house
dome, and less than 600,000 of them are
governed by the Boston mayor. Other
cities have annexed far into the farm
lands of the adjaqent country, says
Youth’s Companion.
It Is customary to speak of the popula
tion of a state, “in proportion to its
size.” Such a comparison is seldom
made of cities, although It might not be
uninteresting. Pittsburg, for example,
has a population of a third of a million
on 18,000 acres of ground; New York’s
population, little more than ten times
as great, spreads over nearly 12 time*
as many acres.
Chicago was long famous for its an
nexation habit, but since 1890 New York
has annexed much more territory than
Chicago’s total area. New Orleans has
a slightly larger area than Chicago.
Elach of them covers six times the area
of Baltimore.
Washington, which occupies the Mary
land part of the ten miles square set
aside for a national capital. Is a fair
liwtd city as area goes, for this genera
uun. u mav shcui smau a century nence
although it looked abundantly amplefor
all the purposes of urban development
when laid out.
In the case of cities, as well as of other
corporations, consolidation is plainly
cue of the tendencies of the times. More
than one-third of those in the United
Sraies have added to their territory by
annexation since 1S90. Town=htps and
counties are occasionally subdivided, by
reason of local interests, but the cities
*°em to be steadily pushing their boun
daries outward. There are some eco
nomic reasons for this, but the reason
in many cases has been the desire of
their inhabitants to make a “good show
•ng ”
In the Right Room.
At the latest of the ladies’ clubs a
“pets’ room,” with little stalls for dogs
and cats, lemurs and li/.ards. all th«
small creatures that a lady finds neces

One of the most enthusiastic members
was showing her friends of her own sex
over the establishment, and opened the
door of the “pets' room with propet
oride.
There. In the center of the room, on
two chairs, sat two Immaculately
clothed young men, grave of face, but
with a wicked twinkle in their eyes.
“Uon’t you know this Is the lathes
'pets’ room?’” asked the enthusiastic
niemoer, with some acerbity.
“That’s why we are bece." replied the
more serious of the two young roau, with
becoming gravity.-—Sporting Times.

A Weak i

Seldom gets strong again with

or. You should avoid exertion,
excitement and worry as much
as possible, to relax the strain,
and take Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure,
which is a heart tonic, to
strengthen and restore vigor to
the heart nerves and muscles.
The symptoms of a weak heart
are shortness of breath, palpi
tation, feeble or too rapid pulse,
hungry spells, hot flashes, diz
ziness, smothering spells, pain
in heart or side, etc. '
“I had been treated for heart disease
bv different physicians without any
improvement. Finally my do ior in
formed me that there was little hope
of my ever being able to do a day s
work again. About that time a gentle
man called upon me, and said, ‘I heard
of your condition, and have com. to
tell you that Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure
saved my life, and I want you to try
it.’ I did so, and after a week or so
I went to my physician and told him I
had been taking Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure.
He examined me and said, ‘God bl»s3
I Miles’ Heart Cure, it has made you
better in a few days than I ever ex
pected to see you again.’ I am now
well, having fully regained my health
by the use of this remedy.”
