× 5 × 47 (13 X 11 X 7) × (4 × 5 × 5) X (3 × 47)= 1001 X 100 X 141 = 14114100.

Explanation. Observing that 393 X 13, that 555 X 11, that 28 = 4 X 7, we select from these the factors 13, 11, and 7, the product of which is 1001. From the remaining factors, since 235 = 5 × 47, we may select the factors 5, 5, and 4, the product of which is 100. The remaining factors being 3 and 47, the product of which is 141, we have for the complete product 141 X 100 X 1001 14114100.

6. What is the product of 625 × 947 × 16?

8. What is the product of 86
9. What is the product of 37
10. What is the product of 63 ×

× 1663 × 154 × 78 ?
× 15 × 64 × 275?

11. What is the product of 55 × 1376 × 65 × 35? 12. What is the product of 874 × 104 × 4796 ?

N. The principles illustrated below can frequently be applied to advantage.

1. 6 × 84 +7 × 43 + 47 × 84 + 17 × 84 + 18 × 43 = (6 +47 +17) × 84 + (7+18) × 43 = 70 × 84 25 × 435880 + 1075= 6955.

2. 47 x 2836 x 62+28 X 23-29 X 62 - 66 X 2862 X 2 (472366) 28+ (36-29 — 2) X 4 X 28 +5 × 62 = 112310 = 422.

3. What is the value of 7 × 64 +9 × 75-3 × 64 — 5 x 75 +8 X 64 + 4 X 75?

4. What is the value of 9 X 93+27 × 6+ 88 x 93+ 17 × 27?

5. What is the value of 84 X 17+ 36 × 4 +36 × 84 +12 12 x 363 x 84? X

6. What is the value of 9 x 13 + 16 × 9 +8 × 31 + 9 × 23 +23 × 8 + 21 × 7 + 43 × 9?

7. What is the value of 25 X 19 + 121 × 7+ 25 × 21 +29 × 12?

8. What is the value of 8 X 163 + 17 × 33 + 14 × 61 +9 × 121?

Suggestions. 8 X 1634 X 2 X 163 = 4 × 333. 14 × 61=7×2× 64 = 7 × 123. Therefore, the value of the above expression (4+17) × 331 + (79) × 12 =700+200 = € 900.

9. What is the value of 18 X 12 + 7 × 25 +28 × 75? Suggestions. 18 X 1219 X 25. 28 X 7528 x 3 X 25 84 X 25.

10. What is the value of 46 × 12+ 19 × 24 +27 × 4816 x 96 +19 × 7283 × 24?

11. I bought 17 lb. of raisins at $.09 per lb., 28 lb. of flour at $.04 per lb., 4 lb. of butter at $.23 per lb., 37 lb. of cheese at $.09 per lb., and 9 lb. of tea at $.43 per lb. What was the amount of my purchase?

. 1. How much will 13 cwt. 2 qr. 7 lb. of sugar cost at $8.64 per cwt.?

NOTE. In dividing, in examples like the above, it is unnecessary to carry out the work further than to mills.

3. How much will 16 cwt. 3 qr. 21 lb. of tea cost, at $47.83 per cwt.?

Suggestion. Since 16 cwt. 3 qr. 21 lb. lacks but 7 lb. of being 17 cwt., its cost must equal the cost of 17 cwt. minus the cost of 7 lb. We have, therefore, the following written work: cost of 1 cwt.

MUSIC BOOKS.

THE MODERN HARP,

Or, BOSTON SACRED MELODIST.-A Collection of Church Music, comprising, in addition to many of the most Popular Tunes in common use, a great variety of new and original Tunes, Sentences, Chants, Motets, and Anthems, adapted to Social and Religious Worship, Societies, Singing Schools, &c. By EDWARD L. WHITE and JOHN E. GOULD.

This Book, in the short space of twelve months, has passed through no less than sixteen editions, and is now used in all the best Choirs and Societies in New England, and is universally considered as one of the best books of Church Music now in use.

"So far as we have been able to examine this work, we should judge it to be superior to any modern work that we have seen.”— Skowhegan Democrat.

"In bringing this work before the public, no time or pains have been spared to render it not only a popular, but a useful Collection. More than the usual number of new Tunes occupy a space in it, and most of this new Music is of a high character, and possesses the true attributes of Church Music. There is also to be found an unusual number of Sentences, Select Pieces, Chants, &c., suitable for the opening and closing of divine worship, among which the entire service of the Protestant Episcopal Church is given in the order of performance.

"The whole Collection is judiciously arranged, and will undoubtedly ake a rank second to none of the numerous publications of Church Alusic now in use.' -Atlas.
