Learning to Save.

The first thing to be learned by a
boy or young man, or anybody else
having the least ambition to become a
useful member of society, is the habit
of saving. No matter if a boy or girl
has wealthy parents, each should learn
to save, if for no other reason than that
riches are well known to g take to them
selves wings and fly away" Few are
SO well-to-do as to be sure against pov-
erty and want. The children of the
wealthy parents are often miserably
poor; while men of large means have
commenced life without other adYant-
ages than habits of industry coupled
with the disposition to save. It is es-
pecially important that the children of
people in moderate circumstances and
of the poor should, learn to take care Of
the money they get. faa .a.}5a 1s|

TenderfOOt's Investment.

Mr.. Doah went to, Leadville, and,
after several days Of back-breaking
work, succeeded in 4heaping up large
pile of iron pyrites in front of the lode.
Becoming convinced that it would con-
tinue bearing pyrites forever, he, with
misgivings of conscience, sold it to a
p" tenderfoot" for a horse and saddle,
which would at least take him out of
the. 3accursed country. Tenderfoot,"
thinking that he had struck bonanza,
col tinued to throw up iron pyrites.
AT last, deciding that he had enough to
make an assay worth while, he took. a
sack of it on his back to the assayer.
Then twas that he discovered what he
had been buying. When the assayer
told him that it returned at the rate of
ST., 800 ton,s and the next load at
81 900, he soldit for SIC, 900 to a Den
yer capitalist. : This proves, first, that
all that glitters is not gold, and, second,
that the proof. of the pudding-stone- is
in the heating. -

the proposal of the Government to purchase
100000 of bonds on the sinking-fund &C
count was responded to by offers to sell over
$11, 10000 of bonds at prices varying from
1859 to ITO. Secretary Sherman rejected all
the bids, and directed Assistant Treasurer Hill
house not to pay over LOG for any bonds. A
large number of New York bankers then came
forward and offered to sell their 6 per cent
bonds at the figure named by the Secretary of
the Treasury, and in a short time the Assistant
Treasurer had completed the purchase of

Largest Wheat Yield ON Record.

A short time ago Gen. John Gibbon
made the assertion that 100 bushels of
wheat had been raised on an acre of
ground in the Territory of Montana.
The statement having been received
with ircredulity, he wrote to the Presi-
dent of the First National Bank in
Helena for proof. In reply he received
the certificate Of the resident and Sec
rotary Of the Territorial Fair Associa5
ton that one James L. Ray, of Lewis
and Clark counties, was awarded first
premium for the best acre of wheat, be-
ing 102 bushels to the acre. This is
believed to be the largest yield of
wheat on record.
