The Unthrifty Man.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND oouRIn:
The presence of cheerful honest, thrifty
men is source of great pleasure, to say
nothing about its effect upon business. But
who is pleased with the unthrifty, and who
would be such man in q great city ? Sug-
gestions and kind words, though of great
value to some men, seem often to have no
good effect upon him. While some are born
to thrift and wealth, he seems to be born to
unthrift and poverty. His very walk is SLOW
emily, and the tones of his voice are weak
tones. If there be hard life in the world it
is the life of the unthrifty. Misfortune may
depress the thrifty for time, but it utterly
ruins the untrhifty. Not saving anything for
sickness, want of work, or for the infrmities
of age, he excites ones sympathy nearly as
much as the Incorporate man, and his un-
thrift often leads him to intemperance. His
family suffer too like the drunkard's family,
from lack of food, clothing, good society
and, worse yet, from that sense of degrade
ton which is SO effective in lettering from
ali high and worthy effort. Can any advice

Washington House of Representatives it is
pointed out that by law each Congressman is
allowed 1925 session to pay for stationery
and newspapers. The clerk of the House
has no option in the matter of how it shall
be expended. He furnishes them with what
stationery they need at cheap rates, since it
is bought in bulk by the government. Here
his duty ends, except to see that the rest is
expended as the member to whom it belongs
directs. As matter of fact, Congressman
have come to regard it as pin-money. which
accounts for the buying of perfumery, fans,
opera glasses, tooth picks and host of 9TH
stationery.

The New England society for the suppress

trial justices in Massachusetts regarding the
tors from court rooms, and the universal tes-
timony is that the law is a good one, and
most of them have been strict in enforcing it.
One of the judges writes that the law is one
great step toward preventing the contamina-
ton and ruin of the young and unsuspecting."
Another says 81 shall enforce the law every

The prospect that we are soon to have an
American line of steamers to Brazil is pleas
ing Colonel Tisdel, agent for John Roach
has secured a subsidy from the Brazilian
government which will enable Mr.. Roach to
start new line of four steamers early in the
spring It is said that for the purpose of
facilitating prompt action Colonel Tisdel has
been authorized to purchase steamers in
France and that he is there for that purpose.
In view of all this some suggestions made by
the Boston Post are important and timely.
Says the Post: "But now is the time to
prepare the way by a careful study of the
various styles of goods used, the methods of
packing and shipping, duties, freights, etc.,
and we would advise all parties interested to
procure from the State department the con-
sular reports as published monthly, which
contain much valuable information upon
these points. If, through some combined
action on the part of our leading manufao-
tuners, practical scheme could be carried
out for the permanent introduction of New
England manufactures through well estab
ished agents, there can be little doubt but
that large reduction could be made in the
present cash statement as paid to that coun-
try. Why should not Boston have line of
small steamers to run to Rio, Bahia and Per-
nambuco? At present our coffee comes via
New York and Baltimore, and our manufac-
lures are shipped to Brazil via Halifax and
Bordeaux, and our payments made through
London. By practical management this can
all be changed, and we trust that there are
men in New England far sighted enough to
see the Importance of preparing now for the
sale of surplus stock by opening up per-
manent export trade with Brazil"

In a late issue of your paper correspond

Mr.. Editor, Of my memory serves me, an
swered the question in the negative. l am
compelled for once to differ materially. In

of posts. 1 have recently examined the
fence and nearly all the posts which we're
placed butt end down are rotten I was
then ignorant of the nature of timber, as is
your rural correspondent. For the past ten
years have said to every man setting posts
.Put the top end down" Nature has
formed cells in the timber to retain the sap
and thus continue the growth of the tree.
For instance, you may cut thrifty pole and
fall the top down hill and the sap viii run
from it nearly . stream, when If you fall the
butt down hill it will ooze out very little.

setting posts be sure and set the top in the

respondent can find cases similar to mine.

Those who have been afraid that there is
not coal enough in the world will be glad to
know that certain parts of South Africa are
declared by biologists to contain valuable

have been formed within the past month in

In time the colony will be Independent of
England, it is thought, in regard to the sup
ply ofIcoal, which now is imported from the

The temperance bill reported favorably to
the National House of Representatives is the
measure favored by the National Temper
anoe society as well as by other friends of
temperance who are not opposed to license.
1t provides for commission of five persons,
selected solely with reference to fitness, and
gives that commission plenty of work to do.
Its duty shall be, the bill says, to investigate
the alcoholic, fermented and vinous liquor
traffic and manufacture with reference to
revenue and taxation and the effect of each
class of such liquors in their economical,
criminal, moral and scientific aspects in con-
nection with pauperism, crime, social vice,
the public health, and the general welfare of
the people, and also to inquire into the prac-
tical results of taxation and license and of
restrictive legislation for the prevention of
intemperance in the several States, Terri
tories and the District of Columbia. The
commission is also required to ascertain the
amount of liquor annually consumed, the
number of deaths caused by alcoholism, the

We have had very pleasant winter so
far, but we must expect some bad weather
soon. The health Of our people is good,
and everything seems lively.
Wheat here is worth SIPS per bushel,
oats 40 cents, corn Is cents, butter Is cents
and eggs Is cents. There was large acre
age of wheat sown the past fall, which
looks well and in good condition, and il
the winter is favorable we will have II good
crop. Our farmers are all energetic men,
and they are now preparing for their spring
crop. They are clearing new fields, which
is making our county look more opened up
