Friday and Saturday. Division of a Fraction. Editor Columbian, Sir : I have noticed in your paper several communications in regard to the division of fractions. The example given is, divide by J and the answer is eight-ninth. The as sertion that follows that the value of the fraction is increased this is an error. For instance divide one by two In my opinion the answer would be 2 is contained in 1 times, the value diminished J is contained f eight ninth times and has nothing to do with the value. If you take frac tions of the same demonstrative you can divide without any invertion t i that is J is contained one time. No one will say that n you divide 9 by 3 the value is in creased because 3 is contained in 9 3 times and no increase of value. I think no one has ever given the reason ol the rule lor division ol fractions. X. Y. Z.

My youngest was always delicate and the measles left her eyes very weak, nut since using Hood s Sarsaparilla her blood has been purified and her eyes are very much stroneer.

These are no doubt very gloomy days for Democracy, and the party is sure to lose many of its later recruits and all of the camp followers who only worship at the shrine of success. But there is a solid body of be.ievers left whose faith in Teflersonian princi ples is the mainstay of the Republic. I here need, therefore, be no lear that the Democratic party will fail as long a the Republic lasts. If there were no Democracy to morrow there would be the day after. Its opponents would recreate it, their principles and practices are so obnoxious to free and stable government. 1'hila. Jiecord. Gidding & Co. sell knee pants for 9 cts. between 10 and 11 a. ni.

Other cases might be termed stubborn, and do not yield until perhaps the second or even the third day. The cure is then spon taneous, the cumulative effect of the medicine is felt all at once.
