FIVE CENTS A DAY.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
The cumulative power of money is e
fact very generally known but not gen.
orally appreciated. There are few men
living to-day of 60, hanging on the boun.
ty of kindred or friends, but who might
by exercising the smallest particle o.
thrift rigidly adhered to in the past,
have set aside respectable sum which
would materially help them to main
tain their independence in their old age
Let us take the small and insignificant
sum of five cents, which we daily pay
to have our boots BACKED, to ride IN q
car a distance we are able to walk, or
procure a bad cigar we are better with
out. and see what its value is in the
course of years. We will suppose a, boy
of fifteen by backing his own boots, OF
saving his car fare, or going without
his cherished cigarette, put by ) cents a
day, in one year he saves S16.25, which,
being banked, bears interest at the rate
of ) per cent. per annum, compounded
bi-yearly, On this basis, when our
thrifty youth reaches the age of 60,
having set his cents per day religious
ly aside during fifty years, the result is
truly surprising. He has accumulated
NO less sum than -, S92 II.
A scrutiny of the progress of this re-
suit is interesting. At the age of 30 our
hero has 1895; at 40, $877; at 80 81, 667 /:
at 60, 81 ,952 After fifteen years saw
ing his annual interest more than equals
his original principal; in twenty five
years it is more than double; in thirty
five years it is four times as much; in
forty-fiv years it is eight times as
mnch, and the last years interest is
$196, or ten and half times as much
jas the annual amount saved in fifty
years is 1912, 500 the difference between
that amount and the grand total of 3d.
1913, II, namely, 1850, 81, is accumu-
lated interest. What a magnificent
premium for the minimum of thrift
that can we'll be represented by figures.

an Incident of Theatrical Life.

A newspaper man listened to the sto-
ries of leading actors the other day
Here is one of them:
"Well, now, said the second Oldham,
Il know one more story about Pima
fore company. This time it was in
Hartford. The Hebe of the company
was rather attractive girl-at any rate
she attracted a swell young Trinity Col
lege student to such an extent that he
sent her flowers and took her out riding
and played the devoted swain gen
orally. The company visited
Hartford several times. At last tlc
young man thought he would ventule
ON a decided advance. So he invited
the young lady to have champagne
supper in her own room at the hotel
after the performance. The young lady
went Immediately to the manager and
asked his advice He told her what to
do. She accepted the invitation, and
accordingly. after the performance, a
generous spread was set in the room,
and the young lady and her swain sat
down The young lady drank very lit
tie wine and ate heartily. At the first
stroke of midnight knock was heard
on the door. The swain swore, and
the girl arose and admitted the mana
ger. He took his seat on the young
Iady's trunk and said nothing. The
generous swain said:
""Have glass of wine%
) "'Why, certainly, said the manager
Selling the glass with ayidity.
: "He drank the wine and took some
more. He did not say a word except
when asked to take more wine. He was
for that every time. The swain endeav-
ored to carry on a conversation with the
young lady, but it was painful fizzle.
occasionally he looked at the manager
and still more occasionally at his watch.
But the manager was astayer, and he
got away with two bottles of wine and

swain gave it up. He arose and said F.;

Without more words the swain took
his departure and went down stairs,

And the fagon of beer went round
once more, while Ptarximander reflect

"Oh happy, happy mel
SO still, so still, white moon.
To leev, to love, to die.
All still and whitn to linl'

BY questioning found ont what these
words meant to her She was alwaysat
ease with me, and could express herself
more freely to me than anybody lse; so
she tried to explain this verse
She turned toward him with look
of unutterable gratitude and tried IN
vain to speak; then, with one swift
movement, She threw herself at my feet,
and fastening her great eyes upon mine
with an expression [ shall never forget,
she made the sign of the cross upon her
forehead and breast.
We saw her do this afterward ON sew
eral occasions when deeply moved, and
it was as expressive and touching as
characteristic.
We soon became much attached to
her, and her odd wild ways furnished
us no little amusement. One of her fa-
vorite pastimes was to sit with baby in
the back door and play on her music,
as she called it. This was an invention
of Helenore's own, and was only one of
her many grotesque but poetic fancies.
It was only a large sheet of thick pa
per, rolled up into a huge trumpet
shape, and on this queer instrument she
would play for hours, bringing out the
most unearthly, but withal musical
tones, which the neighbors far and
near soon learned to marvel at and des-
ignate as ''Helenore's music"
She said she was .'Oh, so happy"
with us She loved her little chamber
she could be .'all stills" she loved to
have the white moon" look so kindly
upon her at night, and she felt il would
be good to die there call still and white"
In the spring. however, a change
came over our Helenore.
Her deep content gave place to a
strange restlessness. She was no lon
ger the faithful, attentive little hand
maid [ had learned to love and trust.
She seemed to be irresistibly drawn
away from all her indoor occupations:
if bird sang near the house, she would
drop her work and run eagerly TO the
window as if she heard her own name
called. Ii she were sent down town on
an errand, she was unaccountablv long
in returning: and, finally, one afternoon
when she took little Ned for RS accus-
toned airing she vas gone for hours,
wandering away across the fields, and
bringing him home at dusk lying back
fast asleep IN his carriage, with a wreath
of violets like halo round his golden
head, and more clutched tightly in his
chubby hands.
She received my surprised reproof IN
sullen silence and / waited in vain for
some account of her absence.
She grew more and more strange and
restless every day, fretting and chatting
over her light tasks like some Gagged
animal. until finally, l questioned her.
"Helenore, said I kindly, what is
it that ais YOU? Tell me, and | viii
try to help Won.
AT first she frowned darkly and would
not answer, but when laid my hand
gently and eoaxingly upon her head
had noticed she loved to have me do
so-she yielded and her tongue was
loosed.
"0h, madam, do not be angry" she
cried. 1--WE have gypsy blood in Us,

and blew blast upon blast of her most
unearthly strains, which, added to the
roar Of her lovers voice, produced an
effect indescribably strange and ludi-
crous
We concluded that she had heard
those sounds before, as otherwise, at
the first blast, he certainly would have
taken to his heels and run away.
Elias Rogers, for that was the young
mans name was in truth a Yankee
man, as Helenore claimed, but he had
lived much among the Canadians, and
spoke their language like his own.
We found that he was honestly in
love with our Helenore; and rough and
coarse as he seemed, he doubtless had a
romantic sympathizing nature, or he
could not have understood or appreci-
ated her as he evidently did. We We're
relieved to find him in every way so
worthy of her, and so suited to make
her happy.
And now my story is soon finished.
Helenore left us again, but tins time
with happy smiles and the hope of see

her own baby in her arms, and my Ned

leaning ON her lap.
She is telling him what he shall find
when he comes to see her and Eloi in
the woods where they are chopping
birds eggs to add to his collection.
