Computing Interest.

The CONNIE cial editor of the Chica
90 Evening Journal gives new method
of computing interest on any number OF
dollars ut sir per cent, which. SD far as
il goes, is simple and convenient. We
give the rule below, with additional rules
for computing at eight aud also a: ten
per cent, handed Us by friend. These
additions add triple value to the rule, for
the reason that eight and ten per cent are
used more at the present time than six
per cent.
Sic per cent.-Mu;tiply any given
number Of dollars by the number of days
Of interest desired, separate the right
hand figure aud divide by six the result
is the true interest on such sum for such
number of days At six per cent, <.
Eight per Multiply any given
amount by the number Of days upon
which, it is desired to ascertain the inter-
est. and divide by forty fire. and the
result will be the interest for the time
required, at eight per cent.
Ten per cent Multiply the Same as
above md divide by Mir:y.sir. and the
result will show the rate Of inter, ST at
ten per cent. -
The Journal adds:
TITS rule Is so supple and so true nc
cor'ling to all business usages. that every
banker. broker, merchant or clerk should
post it up for reference. There being
no such thing as fraction in it, there is
scarcely any liability to error or mistake.

A CHANCE FOR POLAND.
The FrancO-Prussinn War and Polish Indepen-
dence,

The Poles favor France, Prussia having Joined
with Russia and Austria in crushing out Polish inde-
pendence and IN partitioning Poland among them
Selves The desire for the independence of Poland
has been sacredly kept alive In the Polish breast and
several times manifested in desperate but heroic
struggles against overwhelming numbers of her
foes. There are 1900, 600 OF Poles under Prussian
sway. These 100000 have, in spite OF all the
efforts OF Prussia, steadily refused to assimiate
with the Prussian population, but have preserved
their traditions, customs religion and aspirations
Five thousand Poles in the Prussian army, forced
there by the conscrptive system, and though under
ordinary circumstances obedent soldiers, they SYM
pathize almost to man with France, and will un-
dOubtedly desert to the French should a favorable
opportunity offer. There IL, 900 Poles under
Russian rule These hate the Russians with an
intensity of hatred, and have on
two occasions attempted, single-handed
to free themselves from her yoke. Should
Russia Join Prussia there will be 10000 GOO OF Poles
under the domination of those two powers, but
hating them intensely, ardenty desiring to shake of
their yoke There are 100000 of Poles under
Austrian sway. But this fact would not retard
Austria from giving her sympathy II not her aid to
France particularly and this belief seems prevalent
among the Poles, as Napoleon would offer terrific
rial compensation to Austria, taken from Prusslau
dominons, in case she should be obliged to allow
Gacia (the Austrian part OF POand) to go with
Prussian and Russian Poland. By this plan war
like people, numbering 24,000,000 would be raised
up a powerful barrier against Russia ON the west

WESTPHALIA.
The Opening Scenes of the French Campaign

IL
Westphaa, the German province through which,
according to the telegraph dispatches, the French
propose TO enter Germany, has been since 1915 one
of the two western provinces OF Prussia. This name
has been bestowed at different periods upon portions
OF Western Germany, differing materially in extent
and location and In the form OF their government,
The territory between the Rhine and the Weser is
that to which the name properly belongs, and it is
SAID to be derived from the Westphaes an ancient
Saxon tribe who inhabited the territory. The
'Duchy of Westphalia,' or "Sauerland," comprised
no porton of the above district but lay between the
Weser and the Elbe, and was made up of q large
part of Brunswick and Hanover, and some of the
smaller States. In 1902 it was ceded to Hesse- Darn
