PAY AS You Go.-The best of all rules for
successful housekeeping and making both
ends of the year meet, is "Pay as you 60. !"
Beyond all countries in the world, ours is the
one in which the credit system is most used and
abused. Pass-books are the bane and pest
of domestic economy, a perpetual plague,
vexation, and swindle. Abused by servants
at the store and the house, disputed constant.
ly by housekeepers and dealers, they are
temptations to both parties to do wrong. IL

mind, we'll make note Of it," and so it goes.
But the worst of it is that housekeepers are
tempted to order what they have not the
means to pay for, and when the month or
quarter comes for settlement they are straiten-
ed. A family cap live respectfully on mod.
crate income, if they always take the cash in
hand and buy where they can buy to the
best advantage. They will be careful first
to get what is necessary. Extra comforts
will be had, if they can afford them. But it
is bad policy to buy on credit. No wise deal
or sells so cheaply on credit as for cash.
The table is the place for economy. Good
wholesome food costs little, compared with

clothing are kept within ones income, the
margin for benevolence, for luxury, and for
pleasure, may be nv asured and used. In
these, as in other ma sers, "Pay as you 60. y

preventive of all known disorders of
the respiratory organs. Consumption, in
all but the last stage of the dshquium, can
be conquered by transferring the battle-ground
from the sick.room to the wilderness of the

repeatedly observed that individuals who
attained to an extreme old age were gen.

quired daily labor in the open air, though
their habits differed in almost every other
