M n lster John Bigelow once said to an
acquaintance, as he entered an item in
his note book. His listener smiled at
the remark, but took it in good part
In recently telling the story of his ex-
per ence. he said that up to that time,
he had never thought of the amount it
cost him annually for cigars and drinks
and treats, and other sundries. He
began to item re the cost daily. He
was amazed at the end of the year
when he footed up the sum of $3.50. A
change was wrought in him. He de-
termined that. for the next year. he
would keep such expenses down to
one-third of the sum in question. "And
now." he said, within ten years I
have profited by Mr.. Bigelow's advice
to the amount of $5, 900. which have
handed over TO my wife to keep for
hard times; and 1 have not become
mean, either"

SENATOR BLAIR is at it again, so to
speak. Yesterday he introduced in the
Senate a joint resolution providing for
constitu tional amendment to the
effect that no State shall make or main
tain any law respecting an establish
ment of religion or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; compelling every State
to maintain free schools, but forbidding
the use of money collected from general
taxation for the teaching Of sectarian
doctrines. The Senator's intentions are
good enough; indeed, they are highly
commendable, but wouldn't it be just
as well to leave the matters to the States
themselves? There is not the remotest
fear that any American State will ever
make law respecting an establishment
of religion, nor is it at all likely that
any State will indulge in the IN
American business of using public
money for teaching sectarianism. But
Senator Blair would not be himself if
he were not doing something that
nobody else would think of doing.
