Division Of a Fraction,

EDITOR COLUMBIAN.
Dear Sir.
A. B. seems to thirk X. Y. Z is
wrong, and takes some space to prove
his point.
Now X. Y. Il. takes this position,
that the assertion that a greater mum
Der can be contained in a smaller
number is false IN theory, false in
practice and false IN fact.
We have yet to learn that { of a
dollar divided by of dollar will
equal seight ninths Of dollar that is
to say 668+7s=SS and eight ninths.
If this is a fact then / know of no
easier way of making money and
will agree to furnish the dividend if
A. B. wi find the divisor, and l will
take the quotient. We will go a
little further. The ground work of
division is to make thing smaller,
and in all questions Of this kind value
is not taken into consider alton. We
say I is contained in Z one time so is
: contained in one time Z in 2 one
time 3 in :, one time, no question as
to value.
A FIVE gallon cask will not contain
a sixty four gallon hogshead without
a dangerous strain on the hoops.

Use it in Time.

Catarrh starts in the nasal passages,
affecting eyes, ears and throat, and is
in fact, the great enemy of the muc.
Gus m smbrane. Neglected colds in
the head almost invariably precede
catarrh, causing an excessive flow Of
mucus, and if the mucous discharge
becomes, interrupted the disagreeable
results of catarrh will follow, such as
bad breath, severe pain across fore
head and about the eyes, roaring
and buzzing sound in the ears and
oftentmes a very offensive discharge,
Elys Cream Balm is the acknowledged
cure for these troubles.

THE LIVERY HORSE.

Ha. dly any class of animals suffers
so much from ignorance, carelessness
and cruelty on the part of drivers as
the livery horse. Many OF the people
who hire horses know nothing about
driving or caring for them many
others, since they do not own the
horse, care nothing about any injury
to him provided they do not have to
pay for it, and still another class takes
pleasure in driving him at the top Of
his speed as long as he can go, re-
gardless of his distress. Then there
are the drunken drivers, reckless Of
everything, the drivers who want to
race with everybody who comes along,
and the people out for "good time u
and whose idea is to " let 'er CO."
There are the people who overdrive,
who do not water, who water when
the horse is overhested, who do not
blanket, and others who commit all
remaining kinds of offences against
horse-fesh--the one idea being that
since the horse is not their own it don't
make much difference,
The only remedy is to educate pub
lie opinion up to the point where peo-
pie will treat horses well for the
horses sakes, and see to it that others
do so also. No class of animals needs
the Humane Society more than livery
horses, and no class of people ought
to back up the Society more vigorous
ly than liverymen. Ea.
