The reconing o. percentages, like

The reconing Oh percentages, like
the minus sign in algebra, is n con-
slant stumbling block to the novice.
Even experienced newsp ,per writer's
often become when they at
tempt to speak of it. The ascending
scale Is easy enough: Five added to
twenty is 4 gain of 70 per cent; given
any sum of figures, the doubling of it
is an addition of 100 per cent. But
the moment the change is decreas-
ing calculation, the inexperienced
mathematician betrays himself, and
even the expert is apt to stumble or
go astray. An advance from twenty
to twenty-five is all increase OFFS per
cent; but the reverse of this, that is
decline from twenty-five to twenty
is decrease of only 20 per cent.
There are many persons, otherwise
Intelligent, who cannot see why the
reduction of one hundred to fifty is
is not decrease of 100 per cent, if an
advance from fifty to one hundred is
an increase of 100 per cent. The other
day an article of merchandise which
had been purchased Mt ten cents a
pound was resold at thirty cents a
pound, profit of 200 per cent; where
upon writer, in chronicling the sale
said that at the beginning of the recent
depression several invoices of the
same class of goods, which had cost
over thirty cents per pound, had been
finally sold at ten cents per pound, a
loss ofover 200 per cent. Or course there
cannot be Il decrease or loss of more
than 100 per cent, because this wipes
| out the whole of the Investment. An
advance from ten to thirty is gain
of 200 per cent; decline from thirty
to ten is loss of only Sc rs per cent.
The New York Sun prides itself on
the exactness and purity of it's style,
and INDUCES in frequent criticisms OF
its contemporaries; but in its Thurs
| day mornings description of the great
| orchid sale, it at1irms that ''some OF
the highest priced plants brought 15O
per cent less than Mrs. Morgan paid
for them" Of course, it nothing was
realized from them, this would only
be 100 per cent less than they COST

Return of the Alert from Hudson's Bay.

The Attic steamer Alert, whose
name is so familiar to everybody
from her connection with the Greedy
Relief Expedition, returned to Halifax
on October Is, after an eventful cruise
in Hudson's Bay. Some of our read
ers will perhaps remember thatin the
summer of 1884, q staff of observers
We're was sent out by the Canadian
Government to establish stations
at various points Oh Hudson's Bay,
and to decide if possible upon the
practicability of the much talked of
Northwest Passage. Their observa-
tons were to include temperature,
tides, ice movements, and mineral re.
sources, besides question of abstract
science, and were to extend over q
period of one year. They were to
have been relieved this summer, but
the Alert was several weeks late in
keeping her engagement. She started
on her cruise in good season, but was
caught in the ice, and drifted hope
lessly about for over three week.
When free, she was obliged to put
back to st. Johns for repairs. Her
commander, Lieut.. Gordon, ascribed
this misfortune to the bad weather,
the season this year being at least
month later than usual. The second
attempt vas more successful. The
main passage was comparatively free
from ice, though the Alert encounter
ed large foes from having to visit the
different stations. In Hudson's Bay
no Ice was encountered, but series of
very heavy gales, accompanied by
sleet and snow, followed each other
at short intervals. Stupart's Bay
Station was found to have been ADAM
doned the day before the arrival of
the relief party. Stupart and his COM
panions, fearing the approach Of
second winter, had started out in an
open whaling boat for Chizno Bay,
300 miles distant. After much suf-
fering they were finally rescued by
the steamer Labrador. All of the
other explorers, except Andrew Inglis
who had died of scurvy, were brought
home safely by the Alert. The expe-
dition cannot be said to have accom-
plished very much. The ice move
ments were shown to be so variable
that every voyage must be regarded
as an experiment. The possible navi-
CATION is limited to three or four
months, and even then is hazardous
in the extrme. The experience of the
Alert may be said to haye confirmed
the worst that has been said against
the project. The temperature was
less severe than anticipated, an aver
age of only 80 degrees below zero dur
Ing the cold weather having been ex-
perlenced. The rough frame cabins
were easily kept at go degrees. The
tides were sometimes excessive,
amounting to differences of 80 IS feet.
The currents were also very pro-
nounced. DR.. Bell, of the Geological
Survey, who accompanied Lieut..
Gordon, found evidences of consider
able mineral wealth, and expresses
himself in favor of continuing the ex-
periments. Rich fur-bearing animals
were found in some abundance, and
the fisheries are stated to be of value,
but the general results of the expe-
dition were negative. They may not
be less valuable on that account, for
they seem conclusively to. disapprove
the possibilities of successful naviga-
ton and commerce.

Says the Farm, Field and Stockman
There is something else to be consid-
cred when feeding roots besides the
matter of their nutritive value. Roots
are succulent, and afford change
from dry food. With their use the
health of the animals is promoted and
their appetites stimulated. Fed alone
they do not satisfy the cravings of
hunger, as they are deficient in many
elements necessary to maintain the
system, but they materially lessen the
expenses when given with concentra-
ted food. Roots and ensilage may be
classed together, both acting in the
same manner after a portion of the
winter allowance. On those farms
where no silos have been constructed
the growing oflarge crops of roots will
be an excellent substitute for ensilage.
Roots, however, should be properly
prepared for stock. Whole, frozen
turnips, beets or carrots are distaste-
full to stock. They should therefore
be sliced Or cooked. If stored in the
cellar, and packed in dry earth, they
can be used conveniently at any time.
When stored in pits outside they are
of but little service, the frost sealing
them up until spring.

An Excellent Paper.

1t seems almost unnecessary for us to
call attention to paper so well and
favorably known as the Youths Com
panion, of Boston. It has been for
fifty-eight years a weekly visitor, and
each year has shown more clearly its
wonderful usefulness to the class of
readers for whom it is prepared. 1t
would be interesting to trace it's in
fuence in the case Of two families, one
of which began, we will suppose,
twenty years ago, to provide it for
their children to read, while the other
furnished the more sensational pub
LEGATIONS. The contrast would no
no doubt be striking one. Parents
can give their children few things of
more value and Importance in their
growth of mind and of character than
a wide-awake, intelligent, wholesome
paper into whose management the
publishers put conscience and moral
purpose as well as money and ability.

''This morning." writes Berlin cor
respondent of the st. Louis Glo6e-D DEM
ocrat, Il stood within three feet of the
Emperor as his Majesty took his usual
walk in the Kurhaus Gardens. He
wore tall silk hat of the latest Lon
don form, with very narrow brim; a
black frock-coat, unbuttoned, with a
Grape band on the left sleeve; white
waistcoat; black-and- blue-striped
scarf, with plain gold pin in it; loose
gray trousers, large comfortable shoes,
and carried stout walking stick.
About fifty little girls, from u to 16
years old, crowded about him with
bouquets of corn-fowers. The Emper-
or chucked pretty little blonde maid
en- under the chin, pulled her ear
gently, took her bouquet, and said,
with a pleasant smile, 'Ach vie schon.'
The Emperor then stopped at hat
shop and selected a large brown felt
hat; then, walking further, bought
about $50 worth of Bohemian glass
punchbowls, drinking glasses, etc.,
which he ordered to be sent to Berlin"

During the prevalence of a strong
east wind, the waters of Lake Erie
were recently lowered two feet at the
eastern end of the lake, and the work
of loading boats in the Blackwell
Canal had to be suspended. AT Toledo
the wind blew such a gale at the same
time, but from the west. that the
Maumee River dropped two feet below
the accustomed level, and steam
barge could not leave port OIL account
of low water. The two currents met
in the lake off Port Stanley, Ont,
and produced noticeable elevation
ofthe waters. Such an occurrence has
never been known before on the lakes.

The ex-Empress Eugene has retired

The ex-Empress Eugene has retired
to Marlborough, where she is erecting
on the grounds of her residence a SUI I
perb mausoleum for Napoleon Ill, the
Prince Imperial, and herself. She
lives in the same gloomy state which
was kept up at Chiselhurst. She oc-
cupies her days in reading, writing her
memoirs, receiving such accredited WIS.,
itors as may present themselves, and
paying occasional visits to the tomb.
She prefers walking to driving, and is
always followed by a dog. She carries
cane, and one observer thinks that
she uses it with as much regal grace as
though it were a sceptre. She bears
the weight of years and sorrow with
dignity, save for one personal detail
the employment of cosmetics. With
the native coquetry of a Spaniard who
became Parisienne, Eugene cannot
submit to the ravages of time on COM
plexion once wholly admirable, and her
countenance is mask, exquisitely
done, but little adapted to the garish
light OF day, and incongruous with her
grayish hair.

Unframed by ThrOnGing Sharks,

When a whale is captured off the
Bocas, the blowing of horns heralds its
approach to one of the Neutrality-suspicious.
in the islands of the Bocas. We at
once determined to follow the whaling
boat which we soon saw rounding a
point, rowed by eight vigorous whale
men, and towing huge, shapeless
mass. The capture of whale off the
coast of Trinidad is altogether different
from an occurrence of the same kind in
northern and arctic regions, owing to
the swarming of countless sharks about
the defunct monster, and their ferocious
attacks upon his carcass. We followed
in the wake of the whaleboat and quite
close to the whale. Already the sharks,
with an instinct rivaling that of car
rion birds, were gathering round their
prey and increasing in numbers every
moment. We reached Monos, another
island in the Bocas, and there at the
whaling station, situated at flat point
in shallow water, the lifeless whale
was hauled in close to the shore. Now
began the work of cutting up the
whale, and carrying the blubber masses
to the caldrons. At this stage the
sharks actually grew frantic, and would
jump out of the water to seize on some
piece of blubber they thought within
reach. These otherwise dangerous fish
are, on an occasion of this kind, per-
fectly harmless to man, and this is
well known to the whalemen. One of
them having dropped his knife in the
water, dived to recover it in the shall
low water, and was left unmolested by
the swarming monsters, whom he al
most touched at every moment. Num-
bers of sharks are also harpooncd with
the greatest facility on these occasions,
and the oil which is obtained from their
livers is said to be superior to cod-liver
oil in therapeutic properties. Trinidad
