THE ROMAN NUMERALS. Only a Few of Them Will Be Needed to Indicate Next Year.

“Have you noticed,” gaid the pale mathematician, “how much easier it is going to be, after this year, to write the number of the year in Koman nu- merals?”

“What do I want to write the year in Roman numerals for?” said the ruddy business man.

“Maybe you don’t,” the pale mathe matician answered, “but notice the difference. In Arabio figures it has taken just four figures to write the oumber of the year ever since the year 1000, and it will takefne more till the year 9999. But in @eman numerals the year 1000 was written with a single letter ‘M. We shall never get back to one letter again. Now, for this year it takes nine letters, ‘MDCCC- XCIX.’ And think ef 1888, which we can easily remembex Then it took exactly thirteen lettare, ‘MDCCCL- XXXVIIL’ That was the hardest year to write of the whole Christiap era thus far.

“Next year, 1900, it will drop right down to three figures, ‘MCM.’ And 101 years hence it will go down to two letters ‘MM.’ And hew long do you tnink it will be befere another year comes as hard to writs as 1888?”

“I don’t know,” sai@ the ruddy busi- ness man absently. Me was wonder- ing whether he could turn the crank of the messenger call t the word ‘Po- lice’ without being noticed.”

“Not till the year 2388,” said the pale mathematician. “That will be written in Romans ‘MMCCOLXXXVIII’—thir-

teen letters again.”

The ruddy business man ting more and more uneasy. what—what of it?” he said.

“Why, only think,” said the pale mathematician, “how many § genera- uons of our descendarts will never see a year so short as 1900 and how many and many more will never see a year

Monpay, Jan, 22.

McLeod vs. Schurman. Tuis case was argued on Saturday. and the Court met this moraing to deliver judgment. It was an application of the defendant in thie suit to be discharged from jail. It appears that the defendant wes committed to Queen’s County jail ueder an execu- tion iseued out of the County Court of Prince County. The iaw re- quires that the Clerk of a County Court can only issue an execuiien against the body ef a defendant when ao allidavit is made showing facts and circumstauces that a defendant is about to depart in order to defraud his creditors. The affilavit in this case only stated that the plaintiff had been informed by a perzon and believed that the defendant was sbsut to leave P. B. I. to defraud hm The court unan‘mousiy held that this effidavit did not satisfy the law,

Objection was taken to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court to grant relief. The Court however held that it had jurisdic- tiou overall infericr courts, and could in- terfere in the prevent case.

The defendant was released from jail,
