Once messenger boy, later millionaire, said:
"When I made $4.00 a week I saved 50c;
when I got SB.OO a week I put aside $2.00.
The time came when I had a tidy little sum in
the bank. I have been saving ever since."

"Wanted —A Collaborator."
That all persons of artistic or lit
erary asplraMons are not as Imprac
tical as they are generally supposed
to be, is proved by the following
advertisement, which, sayß the Bos
ton HeralJ, recently appeared In a
morning paper: Wanted —A collabo
rator, by a young lady playwright. The
play iB already written; collaborator
to furnish board and bed until play
is produced.
Rats Fought for Comrade.
Rats defended a comrade at Hun
ferlofd near London, England, on a
recent night. An engineer at the Hun
gerford outfall works of the London
Sewage system struck a large rat
when making hiß rounds. Immediately
scores ofTatß appeared and attacked
the man fiercely, tearing at his trou
sers. Taking to his heelß, the man
was pursued by the animals for sev
eral hundred yards.
Counting Molecules.
A French mathematician has trjed
to convey to our minds some notion I
of the infinitesimal size of the mole
cule. He declares that if a person
were to try to count the number of
molecules in a cubic millimeter of hy
drogen gas. taking one-billlonth of a
second to repeat each number, the
task would occupy him for more than
1,000 years.—Youth's Companion.,
United States' Superiority.
According to a report issued by the
American bureau of foreign and do
mestic commerce, based upon a study
of seventeen -industries in the United
States and Great Britain, it requires
18 per cent more power and two and
one-half times more labor to do the
•ame work, in the industries examin
ed. in Great Britain than it doos in
the United States.

Antiquities In Danger.
Hidden away in the'national mu
seums and libraries, and zealously
guarded are a number ol priceless
manuscripts and books which, but for
a fortupate chance, might have been
lost to the world. Tho chief treas
ure of a museum at St. Petersburg is
the oldest known Greek manuscript of
the New Testament, which was about
to be burned by the monks of a
Syrian monastery, when, by a lucky
chance, one of the priests, struck with
tho antiquity of the manuscript, in
terfered In time to save what had
been thought valueless.
The Church.
According to the London Telegraph,
the Bishop of London, speaking at the
Mansion House, said that many people
nowadays had a false Idea of the
church. "The popular Idea was that
you had only to put threepence In the
slot, or rather In the ofTertory, and
you got a handßome vicar, two good
looking curates and a peal of bells."
Holiday Enjoyment.
Few things are more delightful than
a holiday wbijh has been well-earned
by conscientious, earnest work, brave
ly done throughout the year. A com
plete change in surroundings, inter
ests aud occupations should be part
of a beneficial holiday. -Resting does
not mean idleness or cessation from
activities or companionship.
"Horsy" Australians.
Englishmen are swppoeed to be the
most "horsy" people In the world, but
they are far behind many other coun
tries In regard to the number of
horses per hoad of population. In thle
respect Außiralia leads the British em
pire, there being 45 horses to every
100 people. *
To Revive Ferns.
Nitrate of soda dissolved in water
should be given to ferns that are
Bmall or weak, one-quarter of an
ounce of nitrate to a gallon of water.
One-half an ounce of nitrate to a gal
lon of water should be used on plants
that are large and vigorous Soot and
salt are also good to use occasionally.
One Little Sin.
It is astonishing how soon '* the
whole conscience begins to unravel
if a single stitch drops; one little sin
indulged makes a hole you could put
your head through.—Ch'arles Buxton.
Bitter Sweet.

the lie that flatters and drink drop by
