Percentage.

The reckoning of percentages, like
the minus sign in algebra, is = con-
slant stumbling block to the novice.
Ev n experienced newspaper writer's
often b,com muddled when thev At
tempt to speak of it. The ascending
scale is easy enough. Five added to
20 i. . gain Of rs per cent; given any
sum of figures, the dou bling Of l. is an
addition of 100 per cent. But the
moment the change is = decreasing
calculation the inexperienced msths-
matician etrays himself, and even the
expert is apt to stumble or 60 astrsy.
An advance from 20 to 25 is an in
crease Of 25 per cent, but the reverse
of this, that is, decline from Is to 20,
is q decrease Of only 20 per cent.
There are many persons, otherwise in.
teligent, who cannot see why the re-
duction of 100 10 so is not decrease
Of 100 per cent. if an advance from so
to 100 is an increase Of 100 per cent.
The other day al article Of merchan-
disc which had been purchased At 10
cents = pound was resold at 30 cents
pound, a profit of 200 per cent;
whereupon writer, in chro nicling
the sale, said that at the beginning Of
the recent depression, several invoices
of the same class of goods which had
cost over 80 cents per pound had been
finally sold at 10 cents per pound, \
loss of over 200 per cent. OF course,
there cannot BE- decrease or loss Of
more than 100 per cent, because this
wipes out the whole of the investment.
An advance from 10 to 80 is = gain OF
200 per cent, but . decline from 80
to 10 is loss of only 664 per cent.

FROM MIMIC TO REAL STAGE.-The
Sioux Falls (Dak.) Mail, Irving Bath s
paper, in mentioning the return there
from visit to Washington of Melvin
Grisby, gives the following Renaissance
of local interest to Dodge county:
A number of years ago Mr.. G. taught
school at Horizon, little village ten
miles from Beaver DAM There he
formed the acquaintance of Hon j. B.
Hays, now chief justice of IDAHO, but
then attorney at law, and he also then
knew A. K. Delaney, now Unired States
District Attorney for the eastern district
of Wisconsin, and formidable candidate
for Bragg's place. At the close of the
term Mr.. G. gave an exhibition, and as
none of his pupils were large enough to
take certain parts in SCOTS Lady OF the
Lake. he induced Mr.. Hays and Mr..
Delaney to assist him. The entertain
ment was decided success, Mr. Delaney
winning golden laurels as Roderick Dhu,
while j. B. Hays astonished the world as
Fitz James Both these gentlemen have
since risen to rank and station, but it is
safe to assert that they never acted part
in real life with greater zest and salts
faction than they played warrior on the
mimic stage that evening.

Sure Sign Of a Dry Summer.

A farmer recently visited the
Chambersburg, Pa, valley Spirit
office and related the following
snake story, claiming that it was a
sure omen that the coming summer
will be an unusually dry one. He
said: 81 have killed a number of
snakes within the past two weeks,
and that, too, without looking for
them. They just dragged them
selves from their holes and exhibit
themselves to everybody. ] don't
like such an early beginning OF the
snake campaign. It's a sure sign
of a dry summer when snakes be-
gin to forage so early in the spring.
| cannot tell you why, but Pye no.
ticed it to be the fact for the last
ten years. 1t first attracted my
attention in 1876. In the spring of
that year | went out on my wood
pile one warm day III March and
found n big rattle-snake cOiled up
on my axe and he was as lively a
specimen as ever | saw-before the
first of April killed more than
thirty snakes of different kinds on
and about my farm and my neigh
bOrs had the same experience
That was an exceedingly dry sum-
mer. In 1880 it was just the same.
| killed three water-snakes on st.
Patrick's Day of that year, although
it was very cold. That summer
the crops nearly burned up. In
1882 there was the same condition
of affairs-snakes made their APP
pearance in our neighborhoOd early
in April that year, / am afraid this
summer will witness a drOuth.'

A Virginia EIupement.

Petersburg, is all agOg over an
elopment which took place Sunday.
For some time past w. r. Rofe, a
clerk in a store in Petersburg, has
been paying marked attention to
Miss Florence Chambers, a daugh-
ter of II. +. Chambers, a well.
known grocer of the same place.
The young mans attentions ripened
into love, which was reciprocated
by Miss Chambers. For some cause
or other the father of the young
lady forbade ROffe visiting his
daughter, and the result of this
was that the couple became all the
more attached to each other. A
day or two ago ROtfe wrote to a
friend at Garysburg, n. c., to get a
marriage license for him and have
it ready there by Sunday. Sunday
morning Miss Chambers left home,
leaving her parents under the i'm
preston that she was going to
church, and from there she would
90 to spend the day with her aunt.
Instead of attending church Miss
Chambers went to the depot of the
Atlantic Coast line, where by ap-
pOintment she met her lover. and
the two took the southbOund train
for Garysburg, where they we're
married Sunday evening. Miss
Chambers is a beautiful brunette
and about eighteen years of age.
Roffe is about twenty-one years Of
age and a very popular young man.

The local option election in Scott
county, Va, last week, resulted in
a victory for the local Optionists
by a majority OF 2GS. Referring to it
the Bristol Reporter says: " This
is anunexpected victory, and is GER
tainly highly encouraging, The
counties of Southwest Virginia are
wheeling INTO local-OptiOn line at
an alarming rate to the whiskey
men. The politicians of this sec
ton favorlng liquor have alighted

their sorrow"
Under the influence of the tariff
protecting the wool product of this
country, it increased from 100000,
600 to 325, 100000 pounds, or more
than fve-fold, Take off the tariff,
in obedience to MOrrison's Demo
cratic Free Trade bill, and the wool
industry of the United States would
be destroyed. We would then be
at the mercy of the wool growers
of Australia and othe foreign coun-
tries, and they could fix the price
oft to suit themselves. Free trade,
indeed, means the encouragement of
foreign manufactures and products
at the expense of those at home.
1t means the transfer of our work
shops and industries across the
waters, and the impoverisbment
Of our own labor.

ters in the Jail of that city in conse-
quence of his revealing plot of

attacking the deputy. The infor-
nation proved SO timely that when
the cOnvlcts were about to escape
the police summoned to protect
the Jail forced the fellows back 10
their cells. Cluverius gave the in
