THE HABIT OF SAYING.
Children who have 4 little money
ought to practice saving something.
Many boys aud girls of to-day hardly
know a higher use for any money that
comes into their hands than spending
it for some foolish thing as quickly as
possible. To such lesson in self-de-
nial and economy is very important.
AS so the boys pennies and dimes, so,
very likely, will go the mans dollals
and hundreds by and by. Without
having the spirit of a mlser, the person
accustomed to save has more pleasure
in laying up than a spendthrift ever
knows.
The way to keep money is to earn it
fairly and honestly. Money so OBJ
tanned is pretty certain to abide with
its possessor. But money that is in
herited, or that in any way comes
without fair and just equivalent, is
almost certain to go SIS it came. The
young man who begins by saving a
few dollars a month and thriftily in
creases his store-every coin being a re-
preventative of good, SoliG work, hon
estly and mantully done-stands Il bet
ter chance to spend the last half of his
life in aiiitence and comfort, than he
who, in his haste to become rich, OBJ
tains money by dashing speculations,
or the devious means which abound in
1,n 1x.s,, hot r.>s,
dealing and actual fraud. Among the
wisest and most thrifty men of wealth,
the current proverb is, money goes as
it comes. Let the young make a note
of this, and see that their money comes
fairly, that it may long abide with
thcm.--Erch r1ye.
A Washington special to the Courier
Journal, Dec. 7, says: Representative
T.. John Ellis, of Louisiana, was met
to-day by the COuricr-J Ournal corres-
pondent. In response to questions, Mr..
Ellis said 81 do not think there will
be any tariff changes this session or
any great reduction of internal reve-
nue.. We must go slowly. The matter
of payments on account of pensions
should cause hcsitancy before the in
ternal' revenue is hacked Off in big
chunks. There is no telling to what
figures pension payments will run.
We must look before we leap. We
must consider where the revenue is to
come from before we do away with the
taxes that arc bringing it in. Anoth-
er thing, the Democratic party is now
on trial; we must show the great in
dustrial interests of the country that
they are safe in the hands of Demo-
cracy. Any one who thinks that the
country is in love with the Democratic
party is Wofully mistaken. i is not
in love with us. 1t is simply d'sgrat-
ed with the Republican party and gave
it whipping. Because it did chastise
the Republicans is no rec son to Jump
at conclusions that it is willing and
anxious to take the Democratic party
to.its bosom. Every Republican who
vote 1 the Democratic ticket lsst fall
did so with mental reservation that
he had one more ballot to cast before
the control of the Government could be
turned over to the Dcmocracy.'
There are some peculiaritiCs about
the telephone service that do not come
under the ordinary observation. The

China has but one missionary to
every 100000 of his population. An
eminent missionary writes that the
great demand is for women missiOna-
rics. All the women Of China are
Buddhists, and as such, are very de-
vout. As women, there is no change
for them to go to Heaven. Their only
chance is that if they are good here
they may bc sent back to earth as
men, and thus be allowed a chance of
reaching lIcaven.-' 'Nic1yO yi'ibtV,".
