A San Francisco millionaire, hoping
to encourage his promising son in ways
OF thrift, promised to give him two per
cent a month interest upon any money
that he might save out of his spending
allowance and deposit in the paternal
treasury. The young man was getting
$50 week for pocket money, and prom
Used to show his appreciation of his faith
cr 5 atfectionatc offer He began to
make deposits without delay, and kept
the practice up with remarkable regu-
larity. The old gentleman noticed
presently that the deposits exceeded the
whole of the boys allowance, but ac-
counted for this by surprising that he
had saved some money previously. Be
sides this, he received money frequent
" from his mother So the fond par
ent reioiced in the saving disposition
that his son was displaying. This con
tinued until the boz : deposits assumed
such dimensions As to demand an eX-
PLANTATION. 1t then turned out that most
of the money that he had been deposit
inc had been borrowed. Inasmuch as
he was drawing interest on his deposits
at two per cent month. and was pay
inc only ten per cent year for them,
he had found that business decidedly at
uactive and profitable.

VARIOUS QUACKS.

Cultivate the Field of Human Nature.

There have always been quacks:-legal quacks
theological quacks, scientific qnacks and medical
quacks. Some of them are bland, oily fellows
who argue and smile the world into believing in
their favorite Bit of humbag. Others are ponp-
Gus parasites But they make it pay. Men seem
to love to be swindied, STIMULATING only that it
shall be neatly done.
The dear public are equally liberal to the cleo
tTtc and magnetic fraud. This fellow is a genius
in his line: he viii put a magnetic belt around
your waist, magnetic necklace around your chin
or fit you with entire suit of magnetic clothes,
warranted to serve the purpose of ordinary gar
ments, and at the same time 10 cure all diseases
from whooping-cough to hasty consumption.
Most of these have no more electric or magnetic
power about them than resides in wo len blankets
or in girdles of saCkcloth. Only when applied by
an expert is electricity of the slightest use as
medicinal agent. and even then its value is great
ly over-stated What is the strongest possible
presumptive evidence in favor of a particular
remedy: Clearly that it should have been pre-
pared by responsible persons of acknowledged
