A saving woman at the head of the
family is the very best savings bank es-
tablished-one receiving 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 when they are not
aware of it, would be laying the founda-
ton of a security in storm time and
shelter III a rainy day. The woman who
sees to her own house has large field
to work in. The best way to make her
comprehend it is to have an account
kept of all current expenses. Probably
not one woman in ten has ar idea how
much are the expenditures of herself aud
family. Where from one to two thou
sand dollars are expended annually,
there is chance to save something if
the effort is made. Let the housewife
take the idea, act upon it, and she will
save many dollars-perhaps hundreds
where before she thought it impossible.
This is a duty, yet not a prompting Of
avarice, but a moral obligation that rests
upon the woman as well as upon the

All About Eggs.

A writer in the Medical Journal, dis
coursing on dyspepsia says: We have
seen dyspeptics who suffered untold tor
ments with almost every kind of food.
No liquid could be taken without suffer-
ing. Bread became burning acid.
Meat and milk were solid and liquid
fires. We have seen these same sufferers
trying to avoid food and drink, and even
going to the enema spring for susten-
ance. And we have seen the torments
pass away and their hunger relieved by
living upon the white of eggs, which
have been boiled in bubbling water for
thirty minutes. At the end of a week,
we have given the half yolk of the egg
with the white, and upon this diet alone,
without fluid of any kind, we have seen
them begin to gain flesh and strength,
and refreshing sleep.
After weeks of this treatment, they
have been able, with care. to begin upon
other food F.; and all this, the writer
adds, without taking medicine. He says
that hard-boiled eggs are not half so bad
as half-boiled ones, and ten times as
easy to digest as raw eggs, even in egg
nogg.

Shakers Elected.

The Shakers community at New
Forest Lodge, near Lymington, in Eng
land, were elected from their residence
by the sheriff, acting for the MORTGAGE.
Twenty men and Ill women and chill
dren were turned out, together with all
their furniture, to the value of 91,000.
Shelter was offered them, but they re-
fused it, and stayed in the road all
night singing and praying. The wealth
er was most inclement, snow and heavy
rain falling throughout the night, ac-
companied by strong east wind. The
scene in the morning was beyond de-
scription, whole families crouching to-
gether with such covering as they could
obtain on the roadside, half perished
with cold and hunger.

Alfonso XII, the Spanish King.

The Prince who has Just been declared
King of Spain is in his eighteenth year.
His mother, the ex-Queen Isabella l.,
was compelled to quit Spain on the sue
cess of the revolution of 1868, and took
up her residence at the chateau of Pau,
placed at her disposal by the French
Emperor. From there she issued pro-
test (Sept. 30, 1861 against the new
order of things i'll Spain, the Provisional
government having declared her for
feiture of the throne. On the 25th of
June, 1870, she renounced all her claims
to the Spanish crown i'll favor of her
son, Alfonso. The royal exiles have re-
sided alternately at Paris and Geneva
since. In the election in the Cortes for
a king, the Prince of Asturias received
eight votes, ten others of his adherents
casting their votes in blank. From
Geneva, the ex-Queen issued a protest
against the election of Amadeus to the
throne. Don Alfonso meanwhile was re-
ceiving the usual education of a Bour-
bon Prince, under the supervision of
priests and Spanish courtiers who still
adhered to the fortunes of the exiles,
until last October, when, by permission
of the British government, he was adj
mitted to the Military School at Sand
hurst, England, where he remained un-
til he received the invitation to visit the
Spanish army of the North and acted
upon it. On Dec. ODD an address of
congratulation was sent to him by Span
ish grandecs, to which he replied, as
suring them that the monarchy alone
could terminate the disorders and un-
certainty which prevail in Spain, and
that a majority of the people Of Spain
were agreed, and had declared that he
only is the rightful representative of
the Spanish monarchy"

The NeMsnaner VIII Do It.

One of the surest indications by which
to judge of the enterprise and intelli-
gence of a community is be found in the
character of the newspapers which it sup
ports. 1t may be taken for granted, as a
rule, that the patronage of local news
papers is III proportion to the intelli-
gence and thrift of the population that
they are intended to serve; and though
of course the abilities of the conductors
of such journals have an important in
huence upon their fortunes, the fact still
remains that, as a rule, communities
which support their local press lberally
get in return newspapers which are credi-
table to the towns in which they are pub
lished. A neatly-printed, handsome
newspaper, with all its columns well
filed, is Il proof which rarely fails that it
is issued in prosperous, go-ahead town.

About NeWSDaper Postage,

A veXed question has arisen under the
new United States postal law compelling
publishers instead Of subscribers to pay
the postage on their papers. Hundreds
of letters are daily reaching publishers
setting forth that they paid yearly post
age in advance last June, and now they
want to know by what right they are re-
quired to pay it anew from January l.
We don't know 'of any right, says the
New York SIN. Congress has no power
to invalidate contracts, yet its new postal
law does just this thing. OF course, as
the publisher is compelled to pay from
January l, whether the subscriber has
paid i'll advance or not, he looks to the
subscriber for reimbursement. We sup
pose, to meet such cases as that of our
correspondent, it is competent for the
postmaster-general to order the local
postmaster to reimburse the subscriber.
If the post-otfice department will receive
the receipts of such subscribers from
the publisher at value in part payment
of weekly postage bills, every publisher
will be happy to aid the department
and the public in setting right what is
now evidently wrong and hardship.

Native THANKSGIVING D." Dinner.

1t is an old established custom here,
says an American naval officer writing
from the Sandwich Islands, for every
subject to go at least once year to the
residence of the King with gift. 1t
usually consists of fruit, vegetables,
pigs, or poultry. For some time past long
professions called hokWpu have poured
into the palace grounds with these offer
ings to the King. 1t is picturesque,
and even touching sight to see the
simple hearted people, with their volun-
tary gifts-often nothing more than a
bunch of bananas or few roots of taro,
(but the best they have)-thus render
homage to their Chief Sometimes Il re-
fractory pig, unconscious of the honor
about to be conferred upon him, breaks
from the ranks, and has to be carried
or an irrepressible rooster begins to
crow, giving Il ridiculous touch to the
picture. If it could be supposed that
one-hundredth part of the pyramid piled
before the palace was cooked for dinner,
the tables would, indeed, have groaned.
Whole boat loads were sent to the sailors

LOST HER JEwELs.-The Countess of
Dudley waited for the train in the Pad

contained the countess jewelry. 1t was
heavy, and Miss Scott put it down but
she put her foot on it, in order that any
casual observer might be informed of its

sation she forgot the case for a few
moments, and when she remembered it
it was gone. 1t is still gone.
