Waste of American Families.

We waste at the store, at the market
and in the house enough to make us veal
thy if we would only save. The fathers
and the mothers do not understand the
little arts Of economizing, andthe sons and
the daughters do not learn them. We think
it incompatible with our dignity as free
born and well to do Americans to devote
our attention to them. This is especially
true as regards our food. The common
saying that s'the average American family
wastes as much food as French family
would live upon" is a great exaggeration,
but l can cite statistics to show that there
is deal of truth in it We endeayor to
make our diet suit our palates by paying
high prices in the market rather than by
skillful cooking and tasteful serving at
home. We buy much more than we need,
use part of the excess to the detriment of
our health, and throw the rest away. And,
what makes the matter worse, it is generally
those who most need to save that are the
most wasteful.-Prof W. o. Ahoater an
the Century

The Result of Debt.

A Japanese proverb says that friend in
hand is better than all your relations at a
distance, so little money in your pocket
is better than credit in the world. 1t
is astonishing sometimes how much lit
tie money will buy, and equally surprising
how quickly bill reaches hundred, and
yet we may have little to show for it. One
purchasing on credit buys rashly and gem
erously; he does not think Of pay day,
which seems far off, certain ike death, but
as remote and intangible 1t is so easy to
buy things in this way, one hardly stops to
count the cost; by this method it almost
seems as if all the things we covet grew on
trees, and all we had to do was to put out
our hands; we seem to be fed and clothed
as if by miracle, and it is surely miracle
if we pay the bill in due season. To con-
tract bill is to contract an obligation, to
give another the advantage, we believe that
half the forgeries and embezzlements in the
country are the direct result Of debt. Half
the paralysis and heart disease which ends
mems lives in their heyday may be traced
to the worry consequent upon debt; worry
kills more people than work, or love, or any
disease. 1t writes wrinkles on the face, it
discolors the skin, makes the hair fall out
and encourages dyspepsia.

Marriage Among the Greeks.

A Greek wedding is most tedious af-
fair, lasting whole day, though the reli-
gious service lasts but an hour, and usually
takes place at the brides house. Accord
ing to the wealth Of the family, the service
and number of priests is imposing and is
the most peculiar in the far interior The
young bride has her eyes sealed and is led
in by her maids of honor, and she takes
the bridegroom's hand and they kneel upon
cushion in front of the priest. There
are two wreaths provided of tawdry artifi-
cial flowers tied by long ribbons.
These are placed upon the two bowed
heads and changed back and forth three
times. A long service is read, incense
burned and service chanted and the rings
exchanged and blessed, and finally they are
pronounced married, and the priest takes
glass of wine and piece of cake and his
pay and goes his way. The guests then
feast and dance all day, and the poor bride,
still blinded, is seated astride a half barrel
of light wine, and there she must sit all
day long until it is all drank, without eat
ing or drinking. When the wine is all
gone the bridesmaids take her down and
unseal her eyes, give her food and undress
her Sometimes she faints from exhaus-
ton. This same ceremony is in vogue
among the Bulgarians also.

Memorial Windows, Stones and
Tablets in Churches.
Written for the Democratic Advocate.

"Vanity of vanities, saith the wise
man, "all is vanity" 1t shows itself in
the pride of life, at the wedding, at the
birth, at the burial, in the exubcrance of
joy, in the ostentation of grief, and in the
sanctuary itself, in the memorial window,
the stone or the tablet, inscribed with the
name of some patron of the church, or some
one deemed by some one else deserving of
a memorial. The inscription of the name
of some poor, frail piece of humanity upon
the walls or windows, to be gazed at. by
those who repair to the sanctuary for the
worship of the True and Living God, not
poor frail humanity.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me-
What are these memorial windows, stones
and tablets, but species of idolatry,
ministering to the vanities Of this world.
We despise to see them in the house where
His Honor dwelleth. Away with them.
Build monuments, if you will, but memo.
rial windows, stones or tablets in Churches,
ReUer.
A window has been placed in St. Luke's
Memorial Church, Long Branch, as me-
mortal to Gen. Grant. In the centre is
life-size bust portrait of the General in
uniform. On the sides are figures en-
blematic of Mourning and Peace, above
which is figure of Glory. At the base is
the inscription General Ulysses S.
Grant. Erected by his friend, George W.
Childs as token of affection"
Vanity of vanitiesl
A costly memorial window has been
placed in the Bishop Simpson Memorial
Church, by Geo. W. Childs, in Third Ave
nue. and Garfield Place. The window is of
the triple pattern, and it has been placed
back of the pulpit in a large recess especi-
ally built for it The middle panel has
portrait of Bishop Simpson, with dark
background. The likeness is remarkably
fine. Branches of palm leaves meet above
and below the portrait. The side panels
are filed with sprays of Easter lilies and
lilies of the valley, with the cross and
crown above them. At the foot of the
portrait is the inscription:
ssTo the memory Of the beloved Bishop
Simpson. Born June 81, 1911; died
June IS, 1884. The gift of his friend,
George w. ChiIds"
A splendid memorial tablet, craven with
the names Of seven intrepid correspondents
who fell in the Soudan campaigns, was un-
yelled recently in st. Paul's Cathedral,
London.

Never Take Light to Go in Search
of Burglar.

"There are only ten persons in thous-
and who, when they hear strange noises in
their houses, do not Immediately make a
light to find out the cause, said one of the
detectives of a private agency. "This is the
most absolute piece of folly a sane person
can commit, and yet it only seems natural.
But let me tell you that when you hear
any noise that indicates the presence in
your house of person who has no business
there, first take the precaution to put out
your light. Then, if you want to search,
do so in the dark. OF course you know
the house better than any intruder, and the
chances are that if you keep quiet the in
truder will expose himself either by show
ing light or stumbling over something.
Then you have the advantage of knowing
his position without his knowing yours.
There is many murdered man in his
grave today who would have been alive
had this advice been followed. What can
be more preposterous than the idea of
man in his right mind knowing that if
burglar is in his house and is discovered he
will take desperate means) actually offering
himself as target by appearing with
light in his hand, which does no more
good than to betray his presence, as it is
only natural that he cannot see three feet
beyond the rays of the light. Take the
record of murders committed where only
burglary was intended, and you will find
that three-quarters of them are due to the
folly of searching for the burglar with

Something Worth Remembering.

Putting buttons, beads and similar OBJ
jects into the nose is vicious habit, which
is by no means rare among children.
When it is done the mother or some Off
cious neighbor almost always attempts the
removal, and the effort much oftener fails
than succeeds, the object being pressed
deeply into the nose. A very young child,
after such an accident, can rarely be per-
suaded to forcibly blow its nose; if it could
the foreign body would in nearly all cases
be expelled. When it is too young to do
that, his nose should be blown for him in
this manner Have an assistant hold the
head steadily between his or her knees;
then let the mother apply her lips closely
over the mouth Of the child and blow sud
denly and forcibly into it. 1t is surprising
with what ease the trouble can be removed
by this means. The child viii very likely
cry when the operation is attempted; if it
does 30 much the better. IF the simple
procedure advised fails, the services Of
physician will generally be needed to ac-
compIish the removal Of the foreign body.

An Invaluable Recipe.

Randolph Peters, one of the foremost
Nurserymen of the day says: Take stone
lime, slack and prepare it as for ordinary
whitewash, in an old barrel or box. Take
enough at time to make bucket two
thirds full, of the proper consistency for
ordinary whitewashing. Now add one pint
OF gas tar, one pound of whale oil soap
dissolved In hot water, Cor one pound
common soft soap, or half pound Of car
bollc soap, or one pound potash, or one
pint strong lye from wood ashes, then add
clay or loan enough to make bucket full
OF the wash Of proper thickness to be
applied with whitewash brush. If the
trees have had the earth ridged up around
them, take the earth away from around
the collar, and apply the wash to the BODY
of the trees from the limbs to the ground
or down to the roots.
Its advantages are i: 1st, 1t will destroy
the bark louise, and give the trees bright.
clean, healthy appearance 2. This wash
will drive out all borers that may be in the
trees, and the moth will not deposit eggs
on or about the trees the same season the
wash is used.
All who grow apple, peach, dwarf pear,
ounce, and ash trees, should use this wash;
don't fail to use it because not patented
and sold at high price. 1 have known
cases where peach trees have been badly
affected by the borer; they have all left
and the trees become healthy and vigorous
with one application of this wash.
Again mice and rabbits will not girdle
trees where this wash is used. Apply in
May for borers and general benefit to the
trees, and in late autumn as a preventive
against mice and rabbits. Use this wash
annually. Gas tar applied pure, will kill
trees.
Keep strawberry plants out of pear or
chards; as they are fully as destructive to
that tree as the blight itself.

Remarkable Rescues by st. Bernard
Dogs.
From the London Times.

From the London Times.
1t is only within the last few days that
particulars have been published in the
Swiss papers of brave rescue effected on
Mount st. Bernard on the night of the
last Sunday in November. While vio-
lent snow storm was in progress, Grand,
the manager of the hospice, noticed that
his own special dog that was alone with
him in his room became very. restless, and
made signs to him to 20 out He took the
lantern and fog horn and went out on the
mountain, the dog leading him. In very
short time he heard call and groaning,
and, helped by the dog, dug out of the
snow an italian, whom he carried on his
back into the hospice. The rescued man
stated that his father, two brothers, and
another Italian, all journeying home with
him over the pass, lay buried in the snow
He had pushed on to obtain help, but had
been overpowered by the storm. Grand
made ready and went out again. This
second search was more tedious and led
him further away, but at last the barking
of the dog announced discovery. 1t was
the Italian stranger who was now saved
and carried up to the hospice. A third
time Grand and his dog sailed out into the
tempest, and after quarter of an hours
search found the others, near where the
second man had been discovered. They
were quite buried under the snow and
almost insensihlA4; He 2; took the most fee
bic on his own shoulders, and with diff
Guilty conducted the others to the hospice.
1t was now past midnight, and his toilsome
task had occupied Grand over four hours,
in binding snow storm.
