The Chicago Herald, one of the best
dailies in the west, and n general favorite
with the reading classes, now adds four
extra pages to Its Saturday edition
making it an eight-page paper. This
addition is made without any extra cost
to the subscriber and is in accord with
the enterprise which has already made
the Herald one of the breezziest and
newsiest papers published in Chicago.
Cheap and full of boiled down news, the
Herald's unparalleled success since its
commencement is an instance of the
appreciation which meets the efforts of
the proprietors to supply all the news of

The following problem has been sent
to MS, with the request that we publish
a solution Of it;
II sold two horses at the same price.
On one lost so per cent, and on the
other gained % per cent my loss was
$500. For what did each horse
sellP''
The usual method of solution would
probably be to represent the required sell
ing price by 100 per cent. but, since the
cost is usuallyrepresened by 100 per cent
to avoid confusion we prefer the follow
ing: If on one the loss is so per cent. the
selling price is the cost, or the cost
twice the selling price. If on the other
the gain is 25 per cent, the selling price
is "a of the cost, or the cost is As
of the selling price. For the two, then
the cost is 2 4-5 times the selling price
of one, or a loss of As the selling price
of one. If S25. is 40 the selling price,
Is is S6f and 5-5 is S31i. Ans.
