WHERE WAS THE LEAK F?

"We are out of pocket agaian, Han
nah" Mr.. Lee remarked to his wife at.
ter having finished up his accounts at
the e. d of lie year.
You surprise me. George" was
M s. Lees reply, 81 don't see how it
can be. l am sure have tried to re-
trench in every possible way. | have
d ne with one servant, and have not
purchased single article of expensive
clothing for two years.
81 have no fault to find with you on
those scores. Indeed the dry goods
bill is mere tride, bnt there is leak
somewhere ; Fl CURES do not lie, and to
think too that this il the second time
we have come out behind hand This
thing will never do or the day is not
far distant when every dollar we have
on interest will be swallowed up, and
we shall be but little better off than
beggars. 1t does appear very st range
Hannah, that we do not make ends
meet any more One thing, do wish
that new overcoat / bought was back in
the store again. There would be q
hundred dollars saved anyhow"
1t was just on the end of Mrs. Lees
tongue to say that he could have done
with cheaper one these hard times,
but she was good natured little wife
and wourdn't for the price of dozen
overcoats, have wounded her husbands
vanity mite by intimaing that he had
laid out money for what he did not
need, in consideration of the very pre-
Sentable coat that hung discarded in
The wardrobe. And she only harbor-
ed the spiteful thought "You might
have done without it altogether, as 1
have had my old cloak these three win
tiers, and expect to wear it another but
in q moment, ali such unbecoming
speculations were banished from her
mind, and she continued pleasantly
Here are two bills which will re-
quire attention soon. Have you time
to look them over before you go out p
bills T. and Mr.. Lees face was the
personification of establishment. 81
thought they were all in long ago
What are they, pray Bills now-a-
days come up like weeds and grow
quite as fast / believe. Why didn't
you give them to me before l had gone
over my accounts Now the work will
be to do over again. Woman-like,
see, doing business at loose enes, with.
out either order or method" Mr.. Lee
glanced curiously at the offending
papers, whose white edge cleaned most
provokingly from between his wife's
trembling fingers. as she gulped down
bit of indignation that she felt in her
throat, and replied calmly:
"They were only presented yester-
day, and as you seemed worried about
something, and complained of head.

pate ''what might have been"
As it was, the meal was finished in
silence, and under the distressing cir
cumstances Mrs. Lee hadn't the heart
to inform her liege lord, that the sugar
barrel was almost empty, and Percy
needed new pair Of shoes.

PHYSICAL INSTRUCTION. almost entire rev.
olution in our methods of instruction is grad
ually coming on. Those of the progressive
school are urging the discontinuance, in a mea-
sure, of the book routine and the substitu-
ton of greater amount of physical instruction
We note that the New York Association for the
encouragement of Science and Art, has written
an important letter to the Board of Education of
that city, taking ground in favor of greater at
tention to the laws of health and the develop
ment of the physical. While the tendency might
be to run this, like many other things into the
ground, we are bound to recognize the efforts of
all sensible men in favor of modification of the
present rigid system, one that tells so banefully
upon many of the young, especially in the largest
of our cities, where the pupils cannot have the
advantages of pure air and exercise incident to
smaller towns and to the countryside Union.

What Must be Done.

From San Francisco, heretofore the receptacle
of the entire wealth of the Pacific coast, there
comes cry of distress. Money is scarce and
the rates of interest for business purposes are
high at the banks and the time of accommoda-
tion limited. When a population of half a mil
lion import from abroad one hundred millions
worth of goods they need all the favoring cir
cumstances enjoyed by Californians to save
themselves from speedy bankruptcy. The first
drawback on the people of this State, then, is
their extravaganza. About ninety-fve millions
of dollars worth of goods were imported into this
State this year. The real cause of the money
stringency which is now, and for sometime has
been, felt in San Francisco, is to be found in the
simple fact that New York and Chicago are car
rying off our money, keeping our markets over
stocked and driving our manufacturers and
workmen out of the field. The merchants OF
Chicago have the advantage of cheap and
abundant currency. At what a disadvantage
from five to seven per cent. per annum, in San
Francisco, at the present time, the best names are
accommodated at from eighteen to tweuty-four
per cent for the same time. The difference il
the rental OF money is decisive. Chicago must
control our trade while we maintain specie
currency. Manufacturers require not only
cheap capital, but cheap labor When the bus
mess of California is placed upon the same ba-
sis as that Of the Eastern States, then through
the " Ingenious frugal and Industrious China
man, her manufactures will prosper. Any num-
ber of articles could be mentioned which are pur-
chased at the East which ought to he produced
here. The Marysville appeal, in pertinent ar
article referring to the character of a cargo re-
Gently shipped from New York to San Francisco
asks: g Why should We send our gold to New
York to buy soap? There is material here to
supply the home demand. Is it fact that the
East can successfully compete with California
and Oregon in the simple article of bottled ci-
der? also, matches, furniture, starch, yeast
powders, &c.?' Peaches rot on the ground in
mary parts of our State, and still we import
loads of canned peaches. For the simple arti-
cles of cheese and butter we pay the country
east of the Rocky mountains three millions
year, and this in the best dairy State in the
Union. These facts speak for themselves, and if
we are wise in the future we will profit by ex-
perience.
