The Employment Of Time.

The foundation of all economy is .
wise disposition of time. Let that be
acquired and true economy in every.
thing else will infallibly and speedily
follow and the most difficult step
toward acquiring it. is real and wise
economy of time. Economy has, in
fact, got very bad character with the
great majority Of people because it is
COMPOUNDED with stinginess though.
in fact. they are 50 far from being
connected that stinginess Is very
deadly enemy to real economy, while
liberality and generosity must be con-
fined to words and wishes where econ
omy is not served.
Still some persons imagine that IL
they play the niggard with every cent
and every article of which they can
once obtain possession they are good
economists. A more wretched and
complete mistake cannot be made.
Economy is the right employment OF
money and means, not the boarding
or burying Of them. To save is very
laudable and desirable. but 1t is no
saving to lay up certain pieces OF coin
while we shiver for the want Of fuel
or faint for want Of the food which
those pieces Of coin would purchase
| to do 50 is TO save the coin, indeed
but it is to save it at the expense OF
that health and that duration Of lifs
which no amount Of money can pur
chase or compensate for.

After the Sedan disaster, when the
Republicans in France asserted that
Napoleon III. was possessed OF enor-
nous property, the statement was in
dignantly denied by the 1mperialists.
It now, however, appears from an Of
fetal document, to which only few
have had access, that in Paris real es-
t ate to the amount of over $780, ZOO
is held IN trust for the ex-Empress
Eugene and her son. The late EN-.
peror had, besides, acquired property
at yichy, Marseilles, Biarritz, Bay
onne, and Algiers. also the domain OF
La Joachere. near Paris, and property
in the Landes. Moreover, the ex-Em
press Eugene holds numerous mort
cages for loans ON real estate in al
parts Of France, and the Bonapartt
family possesses large estates in Italy
Spain, Switzerland, Corsica, and Eng
land. The personal property of thu
deceased Emperor has been valued a
SIS, 900, 900. He evidently was no
forgetful of the force of destiny, ant
his hoardings may, at no distant time
serve as The sinews Of war for an at
tempt at another restoration Of tn
Bonaparte dynasty.

a Chapter ON Gas.

"New York. says a writer, s'burns
200, 0OO, 900 cubic feet of gas per an
mum Chicago, 400, 100000; St. Louis,
$50, 100000; Cincinnati, 400, 1000, 600;
Pittsburg, 200, 900, 900; San Francisco,
CSC, 900. 900, and Baltimore, 100000
OOO."
..How do they make gas?''
First they put about two bushels OF
bituminous coal in long alright iron
retort. The retort is heated red hot,
and, Of course, the coal if heated red
hot, when the gas bursts out of it, as
you see it burst out of Jumps of soft
coal when on the parlor fire. The gas
as it leaves the coal is very impure.
GLOW do they purify it =
ssFirst, while hot, it is run off into
another building; then it is forced
through long perpendicular pipes,
surrounded with cold water. This
cools the gas, when good deal OF tar
condenses from it and runs down to
the bottom of the perpendicular pipes.
This tar is the ordinary tar which you
see boiling in the streets for walks
and roofs.
They now wash the gas. They call
1t Scrubblng 1t.
This is done by filling a large vessel,
which looks like a perpendicular steam
boiler, half full of wood, laid cross
ways. Then ten thousand streams Of
water are spurted through the boiler
Through the mist and rain, and be

What Befell n Beaten in the DUSK O
Eventide.

From the Detroit Free Press
James Robbins, Of National avenue
has been missing for three days. but
there is no anxiety around his house to
learn his fate. His wife knows what
caused him to disappear and she Is WILL
ing to let him get a good ready to come
back. Robbins married lone widow
about four months ago, and they had
not been welded two weeks when he
gave her a beating. She overlooked
It then, thinking he would tone down,
but in a week more he blackened her
eyes. In brief, Robinson turned out
brute of husband, and the ex-wldow
had the sympathy of all the neighbors.
She is said to be meek and humble IN
spirit, and Robbins had no excuse for
his brutality. Four or five days ago
he knocked her down and started on

q butcher to see about having Robbins
arrested. The butcher, who weighs
100 pounds and has fist like 3 maui.
knew q better way than going for the
