What is a "principop in arithme-
tic? Give the one on which pro-
portion is based.
"The only "principal" that find
in the arithmetic is in problems in
interest, where 1t means the sum
on which interest is computed.
How does it form the basis of
proportion9 1t might be one of the
terms of ratios in those problems
in interest which, are sometimes
solved by proportion. Equality of
ratio is the "principle," rs I under
stand it, that forms the basis of
proportion. 1t may be, Mr.. editor,
that you have only spelled the word
wrong, and if so there would be no
absurdity about it except the spell
ing; but if you have printed the
question just as the examiner fur.
nished 1t, I must say I do not un.

The Republicans have found they
have done something more than
they intended when they hired a
drunken loafer to sue John Nc
Bride for damages for the seduc-
ton of his wife, and are now en-
deavoring to hedge out of it by
saying they had nothing to do with
it. But the facts are too well
known that it is Republican
dodge, and was conceived and car
ried out by the State House gang.
1t has already proven boomer
rang, and by the time the case is
called in court the Republicans
will indeed be in a sorry plight.

ED. DEMOCRAT:-I see you pub
lish the test questions of the school
examiners in your paper. I am
glad of this. 1t gives the teachers
and advanced scholars all a chance
to see what is being done and sug-
gests many things to them that
they would not have thought of,
and puts them on inquiry. 1t has
put me on inquiry. There are a
few things in the last examination
that "get away" with me, so to
speak, or write rather. There is
that question in arithmetic (?) in
which the sum of two numbers is
81, and their product 720, and it is
required to find what are the num-
bers. Now have studied "figgers"
until, as l think, I know about
what the common school books out
here contain, and I am unable to
find any method Of solving the
problem by the rules Of ordinary
arithmetic. BY some sort of in
spection, or intuition which pos
sess see the numbers required are
"a and 80. This pr0ves the process,
as it were, but utterly fails to sug-
gest to me any mode of doing the
example. Will our worthy exam
iners, or any of them, especially the
one who got 1t up, the examination
being now over, favor the teachers
with a solution? / ask 1t because 1
do not know.
Then there is that other question,

"A Niagara Falls excursion train
from Erie was run into by fast
freight train near Silver Creek
Monday morning, the combined
speed of the trains being thirty
eight miles an hour. The slaughter
was confined to one car, the smoker,
into which the baggage car was
driven by the force of the blow.
Fourteen. passengers were killed
outright, all men but one boy, and
eleven were badly hurt, six of them
to fatal degree. The accident
was due primarily to the forgetful-
ness or disregard of orders on the
part of the excursion train engin-
eer, and second to the fact that
q baggage car with a low platform,
making all the safeguards against
telescoping worthless. The guilty
engineer has disappeared and a

Death Of w. Nj. Davey, Esq

~
1t is with sorrow that we an
nounce the death of w. M. Davey,
one of our oldest and most respect
ed citizens, which took place last
Monday afternoon at four o'clock.
For more than two months he
had been confined to his house and
chair, his disease, dropsy, being of
such nature that he could not at
any time lie down without increas-
ing his sufferings to such an extent
that they could not be endured, and
he breathed his last sitting in his
chair. Previous to his last illness,
his health, for long time, had been
very poor, in fact he never
fully regained his health after a Sc
we're attack of rheumatism, which
he underwent five or six years ago.
L He was born in the Parish of st.
Neott, in Cornwall, England, Sept.
7th 1912. In the spring of 1881, he
emigrated to Quebec, Ontario, and
came to the United States in the
winter of 1854. July oath 1887,
he was married to Catherine Kent,
who still survives him, at Roscoe,
Coshocton county, Ohio. They had
ten children, five boys and five
girls, two Of whom, boy and a
girl, are dead. He came to Logan
about 1s49, having lived some years
previously in Green township. Dur
ing his life he held various posi-
tions of honor and trust. He was
Constable. Marshal of Logan, Dep
uty Sheriff of the county eight
years; was Sheriff of the county
from 1859 to 1863, and from 1867 to
1871. He was Justice of the Peace
in Falls township in the interval of
his terms as Sheriff, and again con-
tinuOusly from 1872 to the time of
his death.
In politics he was sound, un-
flinching Democrat, and always, in
season, and out of season, contend
ed for Democratic principles, and
had the grand satisfaction of see
ing his party restored to power by
the people in his lifetime after
twenty-four years of Republican
misrule.
He was man of firmness and
decision of character. In matters
of public trust, he possessed the
Jeffersonian requirements, capa-
bility, honesty, and fidelity to our
free institutions. In private life
he was equally honest and fair.
His funeral on Wednesday,, was
attended by the Logan Band, the
Masonic Lodge, and very large
concourse of all classes of our citi-
zens.

OUR EDUCATIONAL COLUMN,
HINTS ON READING.
Literary Gluttony as Bad for the Mind
as too much Feeding Is for the
Body.


ded into four classes. He says:
"The first class of readers may be
compared to an hour-glass; their
reading being as the sand, it runs
in and runs out and leaves not q
vestige behind. A second class re-
sembles sponge, which imbibes
everything and returns it in nearly
the same state. A third class is
like jelly-bag, which allows all
that is pure to pass away and re-
tains only the refuse and dregs.
The fourth class may be compared
to the slave Of Golconda, who, cast
ing aside all that is worthless, pre-
serves only the pure gems" 1t is
to be feared that in the present day
the greatest number of readers be-
long to the first of these classes.
The amount read is something al
most fabulous, but the results are
comparatively trifling. Volume
after volume is perused, pamphlets
and papers are mentally consumed,
but the stores of knowledge are not
perceptibly increased. This charge
lies not only against those who
read secular works; it applies to too
great an extent to those who read
the Scriptures and other treatises
upon those things divine. Lord
Bacon once said that "reading
makes a full man." This is now too
prevalent. The omnivorous read
ers, the readers who skim through
page after page, the butterfly read
ers, who taste some flowers of liter
ature here and there, but never set
tie down to a resOlute extraction of
the sweets, are found at the years
end, after all their reading not
more "full" intellectually, but Oft
ener more foolish than before.
| Why is this? Because in these ex-
press days the reading has been
done as quickly as possible, and be-
cause what is read one hour is bur-
led beneath a heap OF multifarious
matter the next hour. But ifa man
read upon prudent plan, if he di-
gest what he mentally receives, his
reading will become delightful
source of very extensive informa-
ton and sound wisdom.
Reading should be in modera-
ton. 1t is possible to devour whole
libraries and yet learn nothing. 1t
is said that Miss Martineau often
read in one hour no more than a
single page of good book. An
eminent divine and author is said
to have had three bOOks-the
Bible, Josephus' works and Cruden's
Concordance. A celebrated French
author being laughed at because of
the smallness of his library, replied:
"Ah, when I wanted a book made
it," On the other hand, Madame
de Stael-Holstein is said to have
devoured 900 novels before she was
Is years of age, and to have read
600 in three months-on an average
six each day! Louis XVI, while
imprisoned for a period of Ave
months and seven days, read 157
volumes, or one book day. Such
literary gluttony could have left
little good results. Too much read
ing is as injurious to the mind as
too much feeding is to the body.

The Bell of Justice,
lOtld Fellows' Talisman. [


II is beautiful story that in one Of the
old cities of Italy the king caused bell to
be hung in tower of one of the public
squares, and called it the "bell Of justics, 7"
and commanded that any one who had been
wronged should 60 and ring the bell, and SO
call the magistrate of the city, and ask and
receive justice. And, when in the course Of
time, the lower end of the bell rope rotted
away wild vine was tied TO it to lengthen
it and one day an old and starving horse
that had been abandoned BY its owner and
turned out to die wandered into the tower
and trying to eat the vine rang the bell.
And the magistrate Of the city coming to see
who had rung the bell, found this Old and
starving horse, and caused the owner ofthe
horse. in whose service be had toiled and
had been worn out. to be summoned before
him, and decreed that as this poor horse had
rung the bell Of justice, he should have JUS
tice. and that during tn. remainder Of The
horses life his owner should pros ide for him
proper food and drink and atshls,
