FRACTIONS.

Fractional parts of a cent should never be despised. They often make

fortunes, and the counting of all the fractions may constitute the

difference between the rich and the poor man. The business man readily

understands the value of the fractional part of a bushel, yard, pound,

or cent, and calculates them very sharply, for in them lies perhaps

his entire profit.
