Teaching Economy to Children.

A simple rule which has worked Won
ders financially. and is in many other
respects of value, and worthy of the at
tention of mothers, is this: When the
children come in wild with excitement
and with strong desire for some
entirely unnecessary thing, which
you doubt will afford the expected
delight, counsel them to wait week
before deciding upon its purchase. A
week is long period of time; many
changes may take place in seyen days,
and probably will in the minds of your
children. This experiment has been
thoroughly tested. and grateful chill
dren have been heard to exclaim:
How thankful l am, mother, that ]
didn't spend my money for that. If
hadn't waited week my money would
have all been gone and in one re-
markable instance boy wanted a to-
boggan, and waited a week before pur-
chasing it, changed his desire, and at
the end of the week wished only for q
pair of old-fashioned "bobs;" at the
end of another week he had decided moi
to purchase these, but wait and get o
bicycle and pair of roller skates; and
by this method Of procedure has saved
his money, after having enjoyed men.
tally the possession of one of these arti.
cles after another, though after some
what dclusiye and eyasiye way, and il
just thinking of Saving up for rifle.
OF course this is an extreme case. It ID
rule which might be adopted by some
parents also with good effect, and
fancy that q great deal of money would
be found in the family treasury if each
member were to try this plan for q year.

What Broke a Boston Engagement.

No one who has not carefully attend
ed to the actions and language of the
audiences during the just-ciosed Wag-
ner festival has any idea OF how high
the feeling has run between those who
admire and those who do not under
stand the principles of Wagnerian mu
sic. To illustrate the extent to which
the war of opinion has been carried it
may be well to relate little incident.
Among the attendants upon Wednes-
day afternoons performance were a
young gentleman VINO is prominent in
society in this city and n young lady Of
high cultivation, to whom rumor re-
ports him to be affianced. As will be
remembered, the introduction to 1.-THE
Rhinegold'' was among the selections
produced, wherein the steady and
strong flow OF the river is indicated by
a protracted and sonorous note, around
which the melody weaves itself like the
eddies and whirlpools of the stream.
The young gentleman aforesaid listened
to this effect with puzzled patience, and
after the concert was over he said TO
his inamorata, as they walked out to-
gether: Il say, what does Wagner mean
by that long, low note which went
'B-r-r-r-r' for about five minutes in the
first part of the 'Rhinegold' music?
Was he trying to describe a saw-mill?"
The young lady dropped his arm and
flashed lightning at him out of her
eyes. iii go home alone" she said,
with decision; ''you don't understand
the first principles of harmony" and
she flounced of. leaving him staring.
And they do say-the friends of the
pair--that the whilom engagement is
now among the things that WERE

unfamiliar. Instances are on record %
the inability of mind thus lost to rec
ognize its own home when it had come
to Its very gates
IL thus it is the custom of She human
mind to become deranged viii there not
always be instances in which druggist
of the widest knowledge and of the
most careful habits shall take down the
wrong bottle and deliberately NIX, q
dose of death? TIE particulars of this
recent case are not yet kn0wfi and there
may be special criminality in the
case, but the fact remains that we are
all liable to make a blunder that will
deeply injure some one, or we are liable
to be deeply injured by the wandering
mind OF the nearest and best friend.
Mothers have given the wrong medi-
cine to their children and have caused
death in their dreadful anxiety to save
life. A physician in this State recently
mixed vial of powerful medicine, and
while talking to a friend his infant
child reached the medicine, drank it,
and died.
Thus wonderful as the human mind
is it is not infinite. 1t has frail mo-
ments. The wonder is that so many
MINDS OF the millions perform so well
their duties. When train runs from
Chicago to New York the passengers
are dependent upon the mental balance
of quite multitude of men. Flagmen,
switchmen, telegraphers, engineers,
trackmen, bridgemen, strung along for
thousand miles, must forget nothing.
The mind of each and all must sit upon
its noble throne all the hours of the
twenty-four and all the days of the
year. When we remember that these
express-trains will often run for years
without meeting with ruin from some
bewildered mind we must conclude
that, although not infinite, the mind OF
man is an amazing piece of workman
ship. Some will die by its plumbers
or absence, but the millions will live
and sleep sweetly under its faithful and
