TEACH THE WOMEN TO SAVE. -
There's the secret. A saving woman
at the head Of the family is the very
best savings bank. yet established-one
that receives deposits daily and hourly,
with no costly machinery to manage it.
The idea Of saving is a pleasant one,
and if the women, would imbibe it at
once, they would cultivate and adhere to
it, and thus when they were not aware
of it, would be laying the foundation
for p competent security in stormy
time aud shelter in rainy day. The
woman who sees to her own house has
a large field to save in, and the best
way to make her comprehend it is for
her to keep an account Of current ex-
penses. Probably not one wife in ten
has an idea how much are the expendi-
lures Of herself and family. Where
from one to two thousand dollars are
expended annually, there is q chance to
save something, if the attempt is only
made. Let the housewife take the idea,
act upon it, and strive over it, and she
will save many dollars, perhaps hun
dreds, where before she thought it i'm
possible. This is duty, not prompt
ing Of avarice-am moral obligation that
rests on the women as we'll as the men;
but it is a duty, we are sorry to say,
that is cultivated very little, even
among those who preach the most, and
regard themselves as examples in most
matters. 7''Teach the women to save''
is good enough maxim to be inserted
in the next edition Of "Poor Richards
Almanac" 80 -. 10. 8 Ai.asA aala ii

Mr. MAHlN: - We had a narrow escape from
death by lightning this morning. The house which
occupy as store and dwelling was struck during
the thunder storm The fluid passed down the
stove pipe into the store. Upon reaching the floor,
it separated and struck the floor in five different
places indenting the plank as though struck by a
sledge or other heavy instrument About four
feet from the stove, it tore hole through the floor
and decended into the cellar, from which it passed
out in three places through the brick wall, scaling
off the brick and plaster as it passed out. The Gel
lar door and window was badly torn and shattered.
In its passage along the floor of the store the
planks were split in two. Near the door the chime
was split off from the head of a bell, and thrown
several feet. was standing in the door at the
time and received quite severe shock. Samuel
Kisinger stood within six inches of the track of
the fluid and shocked severely in his right foot
and leg. My wife sat a moment before within two
feet of the stove pipe At the time of the fash,
she was in position abou four feet from the point
of descent; she was severely shocked and still suf.
fers severe head ache. Altogether, consider it
almost miracle that we escaped, and can only &C.
count for it from the suppostion, that the volume
fluid was broken or split in two in its descent
from the near proximity of lightning rod, and .
portion of it passed off that way.

" "DoEsTICKs - graphically describes
billiards thus: - l need hardly tell you that
the game OF billiards consists of punching
ivory balls about on a big table, covered
with a green cloth, that looks like half an
acre of meadow land with an India rubber
fence around it; that the balls are punched
with long wood ramrods, with wax on the
end to save the wood. and leather put on to
save the wax, and chalk put on to keep the
leather from wearing out. You take your
ramrod and put some chalk on the little end;
then you lean over the table; then you
squint; then you lift up your leg; then you
fiddle little on your left hand with your
rrmrod; then you punch your ball; if your
ball runs against the other man s ball, you've
done big thing, and you poke up lot of
buttons that are strung on wire. This is all
there is of the game of billiards. Anybody
can punch billiards I can, and maybe you
could"
