Another Solution.

MT Editor: Another attempted se- lution" of the question propounded by Inquirer under date of Feb. IT. The question is this: "A certain article costs s1 wholesale. What will it have to be sold for to allow a profit of 10 per cent, after allowing P per cent. for cost of doing business ?''
 Now, it seems to me the question is not fully stated. He does not say 10 per cent. of what nor 22 per cent. of what. But we will assume that he means 10 per cent. on the first cost or the article and g per cent. of the total receipts; that Is, he wants to sell the article so as to have (after deducting the expenses of the business from his total receipts1 s1.1O for every dollar he paid for the goods. Now the whole of anything is 100 per cent. of itself
 Then if 22 per cent. of his receipts must go for the expenses of the busi- ness, there will renal a 78 per cent
 But he wishes to have $110 remaining. Then $1.1o is IS per cent of the total receipts. If $1.10 is 7S per cent, then 1 per cent will be found by dividing s11O by 7s. and 100 per cent. of the whole. will be found by multiplying this quotient by 100. or which is the same thing. multiply s1.10 first by 100, duct by 7s. In either case we obtain s141 as the selling price of the article. But it is not exactly S1.41, but a little more, as by continuing the division we have a repeating dec1mal, we cdHiot get it exact but it will be a tT1f1e over S-40ths of a mill more than $1.41, so that if the merchant sells at S1.41 he will. fall short one cent on every $4oe worth of goods of the 10 per cent. profit. But if on the other hand, he wishes to make 10 per cent. profit not only on the first cost of ths: article, but on the cost of running his busi- ness as well, that is another thing.
 This can be solved much easier by algebra We will let equal the amount he must get for the, article in order to cover the cost of s1 with the 10 per cent. profit on that dollar. also the expenses of the business and 10 per cent of that If represents the selling price, then .22-10oths of X, or what is the same thing, 11-5eths of \, will represent his expenses. and 10 per cent that is 1-16th of those expenses. will be represented by 1506ths of X. Then we have the equation \ equals sl 10 plus IL -50ths plus II 1-6ooths x Multiply ying beth sides ef the ea auatien by 506 to get rid of the fraction we have 560 \ equals $s.5o plus S1.1o N plus II K Transpesing all terms unknown quantity to left side of the equation and changing the signs we have 566 plus 116 x plus II X equals s5.56. and reducing equals S1.45. the price fer which he must sell in order to make 10 per cent. on all expenses.

The Washington Affair.

MT. Editor: What a good thing in an educational way our latest national disgrace in Washington may provei It will bring home to the sheltered and dependent women who suffered these indignities for the first time in their lives the constant brutish annoyances to which so many working women are in daily danger, even in the city of Norwich and may be an eye opener to others who simply read about it. It is proof positive of the fallacy of the anti suffragist argument that women are protected. They are hattered- some of them-and fools enough to take fattery for real chivalry A real gentleman would never have done the things those men in Washington did. How few gentlemen there seem to be todayi
 Fortunately there are yet a few mostly in the suffragist ranks. The others are Turks and savages at heart. Policemen and congressman alike, they shout that the women should be at home. They would go back in civil ization to the Oriental harem and to the degradation of mankind resulting therefrom. Not much.
 The women of this country are not learning so much about the condition of their eastern sisters and sending money and missionaries so freely to their succor all in vain. They are learning what their own lives should be in a Christian country, and the real chivalry they should expect from Christian man. They do not always get it even here in a nominai1y Chris tian country-as events have proved But if one strives long enough and earnestly enough for an ideal 1t final ly becomes attainable. A host or no ble women have been striving for many years. They are in line with the principles of Christianity and the laws of evolution. With these two great forces working for them, they must eventually succeed.

WAR OR PEACE.

Germany offers an interesting situa- ton by the failure of the proposed bond issue to succeed. The proposition was for the purpose of increasing the war footing of the country and the desired one hundred million was not half subscribed. In reference to this situation the New York World main tains that "The failure of the issue is frankly ascribed to the purpose of the government to increase the mili- tary eSta bliShment The new war pol icy will put 168.000 more men under arms: will erect costly Notifications toward Russia; will add S50,00O 900 a year to the regular war budget; will levy a forced contribution of $780, 000,000 upon the well-to- do-a thing sane nations do not do except in dire necessity.
 So closely are modern nations link ed that the wicked folly of Germany makes the whole world suffer. Upon the financial side her waste is felt in New York and London and Am sterdam- Her military challenge will be met by France increasing the term of service from two years to three, and by heavier taxation of the Rus sian peasant Is there not in Ger many. the home of culture and pro- gress, the courage, common sense and political conscience to end this course of provocatives before it ruins human ity?'
 Evidently Germany is pursuing a course which hardly meets with favor by those who have the say concern ing finances. After it's persistent prep aration and position in behalf of war, it might be well to consider the value of making determined an effort in behalf of in Arnational peace. It would require 70 such outlay and would mean a better feeling among the countries and overcome the necessity of increasing the army and navy.

 Tell the truth about your goods, even though you should be told to leave the next instrant," said Dr. Evans.
