who. according to the New Orleans
Times-Democra:, is fund oi the o.d
things, “and v k a you come to think

her seven, and oue of them selected
nine. I; is not difficult to understand
why the mind should run to the num
ber seven. Even in the case of th*
man who fixed his mind on the num
ber nine, he told me when it was aLi
over that his mind had first run tc
seven, but he qua ;:Iy changed to nine
without knowing just why it was that
he changed. Sev u is the mos- prom
inent figure between one and ten. It
te the most popular number in the line,
and is associated 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 ea-.-h
of them to write some number between
one and ten, and give it to a sixth per
son When the slips had been handed
o the sixth man I said: ‘Seven is th*
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 as easy to name a
number between 10 and 2b, though I
have made no tests along this line. 1
da:e say that 13 would be the first
number to flash In the mini, simply
because it is the most talked of, and
the only number between 10 and 2b
that has the widest association. So
you can tell there is no trick about it.

According to a recently issued censu*
bui.etin, tlie rea! 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
