DR.. Henry M. Scudder reports the de-
cision of case In an Eastern court, in
which the nice discrimination OF tho
bench was conspicuous.
-Four men, partners In business, bought
some cotton bales. That the rats might
not destroy the cotton. they purchased
cat. They agresd that each of the four
should own a particular leg or the cat;
and each adorned with beads and other
ornaments the leg thus apportioned to
him.
The cat by an accident injured one of
its LEGS. The owner OF that member
wound about 1t rag soaked In oil. The
cat go'n too near the fire set the rag on
fire, and, being in great pain, rushed in
among the cotton bales. where she was
accustomed 10 hunt rats. The cotton
thereby took FIRE and was burned mp. II
was total loss.
The three other partners brought an ac-
ton to recover the value Of the cotton
against the fourth partner, who owned
that particular leg of the cat. The judge
examined The case and decided thus:
"The leg that had the old rag on 1t was
hurt; the cat could not use that leg; IN
fact, il held up that leg and ran with the
other three legs. The three unhurt legs
therefore. carried the fire to the cotton
and are alone culpable. The injured les
is not TO be blamed. The three partners
who owned the three legs with which the
cat ran to the cotton will pay the whole
value of the bales to the partner who wal
the proprietor of the injured leg.

Savings the Foundation of Wealth.

The man who saves something every
year, quotes contemporary, who had
heard the remark from every quarter,
is on the road to prosperity. 1t may
not be possible to save much. If
not, save little. Do not think that
a dollar or dime is too small a sum to
lay by. Everybody knows how little
expenditures get away with large sums.
But few seem to know that the rule is
one that works both ways. IL dime
spent here and a dollar there soon
makes large hole in mans income,
so do dimes and dollars laid away soon
become visible and respectable accu-
mutation. In this country any man can
make himself Independent or keep him
self under the harrow for life, accord
ing as he wastes or spends his small
change.
Most of our millionaires laid the
foundation of their fortunes by saving.
1t is said that Senator Farwell COM
menced life as surveyor.
Cornelius Vanderbilt began life as a
farmer.
Postmaster Wanamaker's first salary
was $1.25 a week.
A. Il. Stewart made his nrst start
as a school teacher.
Cyrus Field began life in New En-
gland store.
Andrew Carnegie did his first work
in telegraph Office at 50 week.
Whitelaw Reid, our minister to
France, did work as correspondent of a
Cincinnati new spaper for So week.
Moses Taylor clerked in Water
street, New York, at 80 week.
George w. Childs was On errand boy
for bookseller at 81 a month.
Jay Gould canvassed Delaware
County, N. Y, selling maps at $3.50
apiece.
And to the above names, which are
familiar to most persons, might be adj
ded hundreds of others whose fortune
and fame had the same small be-
ginning,
The same orr better opportunities
exist to-day for bright, energetic young
men to succeed that existed when the
above millionaires began their business
life, but to accomplish it, the same per-
severance and economy which charac-
terized their early career must be OBJ
served. scientific American.

Why grown meu md women with matured re-
Elective powers should neglect their small all

sensible people thus bewilder conjecture. 1t is
one OF the things which, as the late lamented
Lord Dundreary exclaimed, mo fellah can find
out" Diseases grow faster than weeds, and,
moreover, beget one another. Incipient indi-
gestion, a touch of biliousness, slight irregu-
larity in the habit Of body what complex and
serious bodily disturbance, not local, but gen.
eral, do they beget, IL disregarded. Battle and

Bedouins in Ugly Mood.

Egypt is now threatened with incursion
by $4,000 Bedouins. who have hitherto
main tanned an inofrensive attitude. The
cause OF the. present movement is the re-
fusal OF the Egyptian Government to grant
certain tribal claims in regard to land.
Though differing widely from the systems
Of land tenure prevalent among the nations
which call themselves civilized. the GUS
toms of the Bedouins in regard to land oc-
cupancy are well defined, and any infringe
ment upon them is bitterly resented.
