Genuine .EcO,iosi,,,.

A girl once complained to her aunt that
her father did not give her any pocket money.
The aunt was kind hearted woman, and
thinking to make her niece happy, she pre-
scented her with q ten dollar bill The
Young lady was delighted, Of course, and
profuse in her thanks. Shortly after she
went on walk, and upon her return proud
" exhibited to her aunt handsome purse
and gold mounted drawing pencil.
She did not actually need either of those
articles, but they were pretty and took
her fancy The cost of them were seven
dollars. The pencil was lost before many
days, and as the remaining three dollars
were frittered away, there was little use for
the purse. The good aunt was at no loss to
see why the father withheld pocket money
from his daughter, and thereafter she her
self found use for her ten dollar bills.
It should be added that this young lady
called herself an economical girl. When
she had no spending money she could get
along bravely without many things which
her soul craved. Yet cur readers can Judge
for themselves, from the incident above re-
lated, whether she had the true idea Of econ
omy or not.
{rugallty, thrift, economy are greatly adj
vocated as desirable virtues. But these do
not mean simply going without what is
needed. Economy is to get the most pos
sible out of dollar; not to waste it and
then be driven to practice self denial.
There is great difference even among
very young people in this regard. Give
two girls or boys dollar, and often you
will discover when the cash is spent that
one girl has an equivalent to show for IT..
She has her full moneys worth Of some
thing desirable. This is economy. The
other can hardly tell where the money is
gone 1t has been so foolishly expended
that she might almost as well have lighted
the fire with it.
1t is not difficult to acquire habits Of true
economy, but the practice of it should begin
with small sums-the dimes and quarters
and childhood is the TIME to take the first
lesson. ~

BuTLER's ATTITUDE.
Some Suggestions as to What He
May Do in the Campaign.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. |


WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Gen. Buffers let
ter has been the topic of general conversa-
ton in political circles here to-day. 1t was
debated at the headquarters of both parties.
Postmaster General Gresham was asked what
he thought of Gen. Buffers letter:
Really, I have not read it," he replied,
1--WE been so busy"
When told what it was he said he preferred
to say nothing about it.
Secretary Folger, the only remaining
| member OF the cabinet now in town, was
seen ana asked from which party Butler
would draw from in New York. II haven't
thought over the subject enough to say,''
was the smiling reply.
''In a general way one of your experience
of tae state must have an idea which party
would be most likely to suffer from labor
candidate in the field.''
eyes, but don't know sufficiently well to
express an opinion to the public"
''You have been observing in New York?''
''But have observed nothing worth speak
ing OF to the public,'' he added pleasantly,
taking up the question.
Some of the Democratic politicians about
headquarters are saying while Buffers candi-
dacy will hurt them in New York very mater
| tally, it may also be the means of carrying
Pennsylvania for Cleveland. They say that
| the Republicans depend upon the labor vote
for their large majorities in the state and that
Butler will take this from them. Upon this
assumption they hold that if Cleveland is
beaten in New York he still may be elected.
The situation is looked upon in all quarters
as anomalous, and Republicans say they
think it is Buffers intention to injure the
Democrats, and that all his efforts will be to
this end. His intention in waiting for
Cleveland's letter is to analyze it in con-
Eection with the Democratic platform, and
show the workingmen that it promises them
absolutely nothing. His letter of cceptance,
it is believed, will be devoted almost en-
tirely to this, and will not strike the labor
plank in the Republican platform at all. He
will call attention to the fact that he tried to
induce the Democrats at Chicago to adopt a
labor PLATFORM and will give it as his reason
for boiling the conyentio that they were

and contrast the platform adopted at the Chi
cago convention unfavorably with that of

The National Vtew, of the city, is the cen
trail organ Of the Greenbackers. Col. Gran
dali, the editor of the VieD, and an intimate
friend of Butler, said to-day: eve will take
enough from both Blaine and Cleveland to
prevent either of them being elected. There
is one thing about Butler" he continued.
Nothing can be said against his private
character. He has never allowed the slight
est opportunity for scandal to be brought
about his name. He will not see any woman
alone. He never would. He always has his
witnesses to every interview that be had had
with woman"

MANURE ON MEADOWS.

No part of the farm is SO generally
neglected as the meadow, and no part
pays better for the care bestowed upon
It. A top-dressing of manure spread
on q meadow once in two or three
years will prevent the grass from be-
coming root-bound, or the growth Of
moss on the surface of the ground
The proper season to apply this is q
disputed question smong farmers.
Theory advises the spreading of ma
nure in the early winter, so that the
spring rains will dissolve whatever ID
soluble in the manure and carry it into
the ground while the soil is porous
and open from recent freezing. Those
who have followed this suggestion are
well pleased with the result. Through
the early part of the winter season,
especially If the ground is frozen, ma
nure may be readily handled and large
loads hauled. As soon as it is dropped
In heaps, they should be spread as
evenly over the surface as possible, so

ulating influence and thus secure q
uniform crop. IL land plaster, bone
meal, or other commercial fertilizers
are used It will be well to postpone
their application till late in April.
Some farmers prefer spreading stable
manure ON meadows immediately after
harvest; but il the fall should prove
