to give. The answer to the pussel, Why
is the w. e. N. like the Bible is Because
it is always folio vel by a revised YER

eggs but l and Krazy and Mother and
every toddy that buy eggs says that thew
are 6 and Z cents and we have not seen
them advertised in the Avis for 5 cents
which the public thinks is quite neglect
full Of you not to let US know where these
eggs are to be had. Some boldly said that
the H%ypbenated grocery was selling
them for 5 cents but Krazy and could
not Squire out how he could not do so un-
til Daddy showed US in algebra how it

Numerous methods for the calculation
of prices, salaries, etc. based urOn the

GRAFTON Of various ideas on the subject OF
eouslIzing the difference between the
Tnited States dollar and the loca: Franc
lnder the existing state OF he money
market, it appears that a rule brought to
attention Yesterday, ard by all Heans the
most practical as we'll as decidedly &C
curace and just, is one that ought to be
generally accepted. 1t IS proposed to
max it plain right mere, bearing IN MIND
that the contention is with the increase
in the exchange and not the increase on
the value of the American dollar. The
former rate of exchange OF 90 has
been increased to q 70; IN other
worGs. where 81 05 Gre. $3.50 Danish
money was heretofore equivalent to $l.OO
IT. s. money, it is now increased to
81 .28. Danish to the u. S. dollar, a differ
ence OF 1870. 70 e. ]aIlze the "u"ren-
cies. and form a basis for prices, salaries
etr. il is necessary therefore 10 ascer,
tain what per cent of LOS is contained
in 23. so The result is 22.38 or for
Short reconing PA, which is the ac-
tual increase with which merchants have
to c~ontend and the only fail additional
charge that ought to be borne by the
consumer on account OF the recent rise
in the local bank rate. 70 illustrate,
take an article that formerly cost $1.0O
local money. According to the above
svsten Of accounting, that article
should now be sold for $1.22.4, or 81 u.
To prove the correctness OF this method
it is asumed the article used to cost the
seller 80 Gems local money, o. which was
maid 5M exchange. bringing the cost up
to 94l cents. and admitting a profit OF
81 cents: now he pays 1870 on 80 cents,
and The cost is thereby brought up -
ST. 16 in round figures, giving a profit of
e cenas. This method which is clearly
fair and equitable S offered for the adop-
