Even experienced newspaper writers often become muddled when they attempt to speak of it. The ascending scale is easy enough: Five added to twenty is a gain of 25 per cent; given any sum of figures, the doubling of it is an addition of 100 per cent. But the moment the change is a decreasing calculation, the inexperienced mathematician betrays himself, and even the expert is apt to stumble or go astray. An advance from twenty to twenty-five is an increase of 25 per cent; but the reverse of this, that is, a decline from twenty-five to twenty, is a decrease of only 20 per cent. There are many persons, otherwise intelligent, who cannot see why the reduction of one hundred to fifty is not a decrease of 100 per cent, if an advance from fifty to one hundred is an increase of 100 per cent. The other day an article of merchandise which had been purchased at ten cents a pound, was resold at thirty cents per pound, a profit of 200 per cent; whereupon a writer, in chronicling the sale, said that at the beginning of the recent depression, several invoices of the same class of goods, which had cost over thirty cents per pound, had finally sold at ten cents per pound, a loss of over 200 per cent. Of course, there cannot be a decrease or loss of more than 100 per cent, because this wipes out the whole of the investment. An advance from ten to thirty is a gain of 200 per cent; a decline from thirty to ten is a loss of only 664 per cent. The New York Sun prides itself on the exactness and purity of its style, and induges in frequent criticisms of its contemporaries; but in its Thursday morning's description of the great orchid sale, it affirms that "some of the highest priced plants brought 150 per cent less than Mrs. Morgan paid for them." Of course, if nothing was realized from them, this would only be 100 per cent less than they cost. Journal of Commerce. Mrs. Stanford's Diamonds WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.

Not beauty than cheerful and no sickly or Mrs. Stanford's Diamonds WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.—Much regret is expressed that Mrs. Sepator Stanford will not go into society this season. Her bridal gift to her niece, Miss Lethrop, of Albany, who was here last week with her husband, Colonel Lampton, which was a necklace of sixty-six magnificent diamonds and a beautiful pair of bracelets containing seven stones each, has set the gossips busy talking of Mrs. Stanford's own diamonds, which they say are valued at $1,000,000. She has four entire sets which her husband bought when the jewels of ex-Queen Isabella of Spain were being sold, for which he paid $60,000 alone. Each set has tiara, necklace and pendant earrings, a brooch, finger-rings, and from four to six bracelets. Besides these she has other sets of diamonds and a necklace of these stones which cost $100,000, and a pendant to be worn with it of which the price was $30,000. She also has very fine pearls and emeralds made into ornaments. One of her pearls is the largest, Tiffany said when he sold it to Governor Stanford, which he ever imported, and the price of it before it was set was $7,000. It will be a great disappointment to many ladies here that these magnificent gems will not sparkle in society this winter. A Colony of Women in Colorado. A woman's colony on a novel basis is to be located in Colorado; in the beautiful valley of the San Luis. Rich women will build up the colony, and poor women will establish industries by which to support themselves. They will likely engage in bee culture, silk-culture, the raising of small fruits, the raising of domestic animals; the manufacture of preserves and jellies, and various other similar industries. When one of the projectors was asked the other day if men were to be excluded from the colony, she replied that was the queerest question ever put to her; said she didn't think barbed wire fences would have any effect in keeping men out of that colony, and she had no idea of keeping a dozen sturdy Amazonos on the watch, as the fair ladies did in the "Princess." It is understood there will be plenty of men on hand in the immediate vicinity of the sunny San Luis about the time the famous colony is started. This rather knocks the poetry out of the scheme, but its practical advantages may thus be enhanced: Men will do nicely to fill in the background, and may sometimes be intrusted with the duties of under-stewards. As for figuring extensively their sex is secreted and the will...

Cure for Piles. Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of weight in the back, loins and lower part of the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he has some affection of the kidneys or neighboring organs. At times, symptoms of indigestion are present; flatulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspiration, producing a very disagreeable itching, after getting warm, is a common attendant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at once to the application of Dr. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which acts directly upon the parts affected, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the intense itching, and effecting a permanent cure.

The New York Sun revives the story of Mary Reed, an English girl, who was driven by poverty to go to sea for a living. Her mother raised her in a boy's dress, so that she should have less trouble in rising above the privations which she endured as a child. She was first a footman and then a cadet in the guards. Finally she fell in love with a brother cadet, revealed her sex, and the two were married in the presence of their regiment. The husband died after a year or two, and then Mary dressed up as a man again and went to sea. She eventually was baptized by and joined a pirate. Here she again fell in love. The object of her passion having become involved in a quarrel with a shipmate, she was very fearful lest he should be killed. It was impossible that he should refuse to fight, and so she picked a quarrel with his antagonist, forced a fight, and came out victorious two hours before the time set for the duel of her lover, to whom, meantime, she had revealed her sex. They were married by an island priest. He was eventually killed, and she became a sailor on the brigantine of the famous pirate, Captain Rachman, who had as a consort another female who had been a sailor and pirate, Anne Bonney. Mary preserved the secret of her sex, and by her bravery and skill secured a high position in the estimate of her shipmates. The vessel was finally captured and taken into Port Royal, Jamaica, by Captain Rogers of the British navy, where the crew were all condemned to be hanged. Mary, however, revealed her sex, and would have escaped punishment, but she died of a fever before her pardon arrived. Rachman and eight of his crew were hanged, but the fate of Anne Bonney is unknown. Something For Ugly Girls. No woman likes to be homely, and she who is born a beauty is fortunate indeed.

But let not the plain, or even the ugly girl, despair of acquiring a sufficient amount of beauty to render her attractive. When a woman loses a desire to please she loses half her charms. Nothing is more conducive to beauty than cheerfulness and good humor, and no sickly or unhappy woman can be good-natured or cheerful. Every woman ought to understand that nothing short of positive deformity can make her utterly unattractive, provided she will study her points, and points of attractiveness every woman has. A thoroughly refined and graceful manner can be acquired by any woman, and is a powerful charm. The best grace is perfect naturalness. Still you must study yourself and form your manners by the rule of that art which is but the carrying out of the laws of nature. But if it is nature to be forever assuming some unpicuresque, ungraceful attitude, pray help nature with a little art. If you are stout, avoid the smallest chair in the room; if you are thin, do not carry yourself with your chin protruding and your spinal column curving like the bowl of a spoon. Do not wear flimsy materials made up without a ruffle or puff or bounce, to fill up the hard outlines of your bad figure so cruelly defined by the tightly pulled-back draperies. Study the art of dress. The plainest woman can dress so tastefully as to make it an absolute pleasure to look at her. If you have been moping until you are sick with the wretched heresy that you are cruelly ill-favored and hopelessly homeless, cast the idea to the winds, gird yourself with courage and determination, be up and doing, lay siege to possibilities, go forth valiantly and conquer. A Boston woman refused to engage a colored servant, saying she had advertized for a plain cook and did not want a colored one. A prohibition journal says that Professor Frost has taken the stump. His brother Jack is getting ready to take the rest of the landscape. It isn't what you owe that should trouble you. It's how to put a man's creditors off that tries the gall and brings gray hairs before their time. An old rounder says paralysis is caused by canned goods. It is also certain that some of it comes through bottled goods. M.
