Worth Remembering.

1t is the penny saved more than the
penny earned that enriches; it is the sheet
turned when the first threads break that
wears the longest; it is the damper
closed when the cooking is donc that
stops the dollars dropping in the coal
BIN it is the lamp or gas burned low,
whom not IN use, that gives you pin
money for the month; it is the care in
making the coffee that makes three
spoonfools 60 as tar as teacup ordina-
rily; it is the walking one or six blocks,
instead Of taking the cab or omnibus,
that adds strength to your body and
money to your purse 1t is the careful
mending of each weeks wash that gives
case to conscience and length of days to
your garments and last of all. it is the
constant care exercised over every part
OF your household, and constant en-
deavor to improve and apply your best
powers to your work, that alone gives
peace and prosperity to the family.

Speaking Of tramps, the Inter Ocean
remarks: Pinkerton, the great detective,
in his book on these rowing bcggars,
claims, from evidence furnished by his
agents, that the tramps rarely belong to
the criminal class, but are men, and
sometimes women, who have been
driven from homo by the lack OF work,
and been demOralized by their inability
to find employment. Very many of
them have been respectable mechanics,
factory operatives, hard. orking day
laborers, or clerks. Long privation and
distress, coupled with the vagabond life
forced upon them by circumstances have
degraded them in their own eyes, rem.
dered them reckless, and driven them
to mendicancy, pilfering, and occasional
acts Of lawlessness. Humanity cannot
be debased or bratalIzed without such
results.

Total for 1874 and 1875


These amounts were drawn without any
order or authority ",hatever, and represent
money applied by the Treasurer without legal
warrant or appropriation. Some of them were
drawn against the interest fund and others
against the general account. The books show
that presently all that should be on hand Is
accounted for and therefore that these vari-
D Gus amounts Illegally withdrawn have been
returned
In this connection your committee find that,
as far as the then method of keeping the
funds enable them to say. the cash received
and paid out by the Treasurer was regularly
done. except during the years 1874 and 1875,
wherein they, discovered that grave irregu-
iaritics existed.
Section 3773 Of the Revised Statutes pro-
vdes that cit shall be his THE Treasurer 81
duty to deposit all money belonging to the
State within three days after the receipt there
pi."
Section $3.50 provides that sit shall be his
duty to disburse the public money upon war
rants drawn upon him, according to law, and
not otherwise
From thorough examination the following
Irregularities hape been discovered probably
in part growing out of the illegal payments
above mentioned. On the first of january,
1876, the report of the Treasurer shows (see
report, p. 2s) on hand S572,9l7 80, composed Of:

rency. $556042 35.

GOODNESS UNDER FIRE.

Towards the close of the fight of Ink
ermann, Lord Raglan, returning from
taking leave of Gen. Strangways, met
a sergeant carrying water for the wound
ed. The sergeant drew himself up to
salute, when a round shot came bound
ing over the hill and knocked his for
age cap out of his hand. The man
picked it up, busted it on his knee,
placed it carefully on his head, and
made the salute, not a muscle of his
countenance moving the while. ga
neat thing that, my man." said Lord
Raglan. ayes, my lord, )" returned the
sergeant with another salute, ssbut a
miss is as good as a mile" The COM
mander was probably not surprised
by such an exhibition of sang .fa'oid,
being himself good that way. He was
badly hurt at. Waterloo, and, says
the Prince of Orange, who was in the
hospital, 81 was not conscious of the
presence Of Lord F'itzroy Somerset
until I heard him call out in his ordi-
nary tone: sHollo! Don't carry that
arm away till have taken off my
ringv Neither wound nor operation
had extorted a groan from his lips."-

THE COMING MAN.

Mrs. Livermorc thus describes the
forthcoming entity:
He is to be superb man. He will
neither smoke, drink nor chew. He
will make physical and moral cduca-
ton universal, compulsory. No tenn
perance movement can be made to
stick without education. He will teach
his chrilden that evils are to be prevent
ed, not cured. He will live in flats.
The old-time way of having one laundry
for one family, one cook-stove for one
family, one wash-tub for one family,
one set Of everything for one family,
must give way to progress. Why,
when gas and coal oil came into use,
the one set of candle moulds went
out of the family; when the knitting
machine appeared, the spindle went
glimmering. And there are other
changes yet to be made, other things
yet to go out of the family. There are
people who will hold up their hands
in horror at this, but the people of
the future will believe it and carry it
out. Can it be that the cook-stove is
the family bond of union? Does the
wash-tub hold the family together
The coming man will be economical.
He will have money. (Sensation.)

AS the smallpox is now prevailing
in Texas, the following cure will be of
interest: 81 am willing to risk my re-
putation as public man." wrote Ed
ward Hine to the Liverpool Mercury,
elf the worst case of smallpox can not
be cured in three days, simply by the
use of cream of tarter. One ounce of
cream of tarter dissolved in pint of
water, drank at intervals when cold, is
a certain, never-failing remedy. It has
cured thousands, never leaves a mark,
and avoids tedious lingering"
The following is also said to be an
unfailing cure for this terrible disease
Sulphate of zinc, one grain; tox-glove
ldigitalis). one grain half teaspoon
full Of sugar; mix with two tablespoon
fuls of water. Take a spoonful every
hour. The disease will disappear in
twelve hours. For child, smaller
doses, according to age.

EASTER EGGS.

The custom of eating eggs ut Easter
has been traced up, not only to the
theology of Egypt, but to the phil
osophy of the Tersians, the Gauls, the
Greeks and the Romans, all of whom
regarded the egg as an emblem of the
universe and the work of Deity.
"Easter," says Gebelin, "and New
Years have been marked by similar
distinctions. Among the Romans the
New Year is looked upon as the re-
newal of all things, and is noted for the
triumph of the sun of nature, as Easter
is with the Christians for the Sun of
Justice, the Saviour of the world, over
death by his resurrection" The early
Christians of Mesopotamia had the
custom of dyeing and decorating eggs
at Easter. They were stained red in
memory of the blood of Christ shed at
his crucifXion. The Romish Church
adopted the custom, and regarded the
eggs rs the emblem of the resurrection,
as is evidenced by the beneGiction OF
Pope Paul ", about 1910, which read
thus: s'Bless, o Lord! we beseech
Thee, this Thy creature of eggs, that it
may become Il wholesome sustenance
to Thy faithful servants, eating it in
thankfulness to Thee on account of the
resurrection of the Lord" Thus the
custom has come down from ages lost
in NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Transcript.
