The Art of Making Money,

One great cause Of the poverty Of the
present day, is the failure of many peo.
pie TO appreciate small things. They
say that il they cannot save large sums.
they will not save anything. They do
not realize how daily addition, be il
ever so small, will soon make a large
pile. If the young men and women Of
to day will only begin, aud begin now,
to save little from their earnings, aud
invest il IN some savings bank, and
weekly or monthly add 10 their mite,
they will wear happy smilo Of content
and independence when they reach
middle life. Not ouly the pile i self
will increase, but the desire aud ability
to increase it will soon grow. Let the
clerk and trades man, laborer and artisan,
make now aud at once beginning.
Store up some Of your youthful force

The Mullen plant.

Mullen is common in the United
States, growing iu the receut eleariucs
along the sides Of roads, in neglected
fields, etc, towering from June to Au.
gust. According to the HalE. Kearlg
Compendium, the plant has valuable
medicinal properties. The leaves and
flowers are the parts used They have
faint, rather pleasant odor, resembling
that Of mild narcotic, aud somewhat
bitterish bitumiuous taste, aud yield
their virtues to boiling water. Mul.
lein is demulcent, diuretic, anodyne,
and autispasmodie The infusion is
useful 10 coughs, catarrh, hemoplysis,
diarrhea, dysentery aud piles, Its
diurtic poperties are rather weak, yet
it rs very useful in laying the acridity
OF urine which is present in many dis
cases. 1t may be boiled in milk, sweet

addition OF aromaIlcs, for internal use,

Praise Children.

There is an old superstition that praise
is too good a thingto be given to children,
that it is too rich for their mental and
moral digestion. Some parents are so
afraid that a child will grow proud,
that they never praise him, and this
course is often disastrous Ii is apt 10
produce too much selfassertion fer
self-assertion is legitimate ou. growth
of the Withholding Of commentator to
which one is entitled-or to engender
a self distrust or melancholy hopeless
ness of disposition.
Praise is sunshine to a child, and
there is no child that does not need IT,
1t is the high reward of ones struggles
to do right. Thomas Hughes says you
can never get mans best out OF him
without praise. Many a sensitive child
we believe, dies of hunger for kind
commentator. Many child starving
for the praise that parents should give,
runs of eargerly after the designing
hattery Of others.
To withhold praise where it is due,
is dishonest, and in the case of a child,
such course leaves a singing sense OF
injustice. Motives Of common justice,
as well as reward for the future Of the
child, should influence the parent to
give generous praise for all that deserves
1t. OF course there is difference in
the constitution Of children. Some can
not bear SO much praise as others, aud
some need great deal. 1t should never
be indiscriminate. We remember a
wonderful woman who taught school
in one village until she had educated a
part OF three generations She was one
OF the most successful of teachers. But
her success lay in her gift of praising
with discrimination. A bad boy who
was good scholar got praises OF his
brilliaucy sandwiched in between her
admouitlons for his bad behavior, and
SO was won to better life, and we re.
gall good girl who had no gift of learn.
ing rapidly, but who was saved from
utter despair by her untiring industry.
Into the discouraged hearts Of the
children the praises of the teacher
came like sunlight. And the virtues,
like other good fruits, can only ripen
in the sunshine.-Hearth and Home

FOolscap Paper.

The term foolscap, to designate a
certain kind of paper, no doubt has
puzzled many an enquirer. The origin is
not onl y amusing but historical. Charles
[. Of England granted numerous monop.
olles for the support Of the government.
Among others was the manufacture of
paper. The watermark of the finest
sort was the royal arms of England.
The consumption Of this article was
great, and large fortunes were made
by those who had purchased the exclu.
siYe right to vend il. This. among
other monopolies, was set aside by the
Parliament, that brought Charles [. to
the scaifold ; and by way of showing
their contempt for the King, they order.
cd the royal arms to be taken from the
paper, aud fool with his cap and bells
to be substituted 1t is now over two
hundred years since the foolseap was
taken irom the paper, but still the pa.
per of the size which the Rump Parli.
ament ordered for their journals bear
the name Of the watermark placed there
as an indignity TO Charles.
