ADDING MACHINES.
They Are Not New, as Pascal Invented
One In the Year 1642.
The adding machine is of modern de-
velopment, but not a modern invention,
a passable one having been invented
In. 1642 by Pascal (1623-1662), a cele-
brated French geOmetrician, philoso-
pher and writer, Later, in 1671, the
adding machine was modified to facill-
tete multiplication by Gottfried Wil-
helm Leibnitz, a German mathemati-
cian of great achievement, and his in
vention was followed by many im-
provements.
A notable experimenter in this line
was Charles Babbage (1792-1871), an
English mathematician, many years
professor of mathematics at Cambridge
university. In order to secure accu-
racy in tables of logarithms he con-
ceived the idea of doing the work by
machinery and was commissioned by
the British government to superintend
the construction of a Machine for the
purpose. He spent much time and
money in experimenting and attained
some remarkable results, but died be-
fore perfecting his machine.
.A11 calculating machines contain cer-
tain features devised by special refer-
ence to the work to be,done, Including
circular metallic disks, wheels :with
teeth, etc., ingenious, but not more
complicated and no more responsive to
human intelligence than many other
machines. The thinking is all done by
the operator.—Philadelphia Press.

LANGSIDE,
There passed away at her home on
Willoughby St., Lucknow, on Friday
last, Dec. 18th, Mrs, Isabella Tiffin, in
her 68th year. During the past year
she has been a great sufferer, but en-
dured all her trials with Christie/5 forti-
tude. During the last months of her
life she longed to depart and be with
her Saviour, • Mrs. Tiffin, whose maid-
en name was Emack, was born near
Caledon in Peel County, Ont., in the
year 1847. There she remained until
young womanhood when she came to
visit her sister. the late Mrs Bowering,
in Kinloss, and there met her future
hnsband, Joseph Tiffin. They were
married on August 26th, 1867 and went
to reside on the husband's farm near
Langside, where together they shared
the joys and sorrows of life for 25 years,
when Mr. Tiffin was called to his re-
ward. After a further stay of 14 years
on the farm Mrs. Tiffin with her adopted
daughter, Miss Lottie Bell, came to re-
side in Lucknow. When quite a young
woman she was converted to God and
has ever since been a consistent mem-
ber of the Methodist church. While
residing inKinloss she with herhusband
was one of the mainstays of the church
at Tiffin's Appointment. She leaves to
mourn her loss one daughter, Mrs.
William Hetherington, of Wilkie, Sask.
(who with Miss Lottie Bell attended
her during her last illness, also two
sons, Joseph and George Tiffin, of Lang -
side, and twelve grandchildren.
George G. Smith, the oidest fire chief

brigade half a century, and chief for
thirty years, was seized with a fainting
spell at a small fire, and died before
reaching home. He was seventy-five
years of age.
Eva' wAAVA,Nosii.
The marriage took place at noon on
Tuesday, Dec. 22nd at the home of
Samuel Morton, con. 0, East Wawa -
nosh, of his youngest, sister, Alexis, and
Mr Thos, Gear, The wedding was
quiet, three of the bride's sisters and
her brother being present and a few in-
timate friends. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev Mr Boyle, of Belgrave,
after which the guests entered the din-
ing room where a dainty dinner was
served. The bride's gown was of sheer
material, grey with mauve trimmings
while her travelling suit was of navy
blue. The happy couple left on the
afternoon train for a visit to Cass City,
Mich., where three of the bride's sis-
ter's reside, amid all the best wishes of
their many friends. On their return
they will continue to reside at Mrs.
Ciear's former home.
